Chapter 434: Little Mushroom
Yao Cen was left somewhere between laughter and tears. “What’s there to hide? I knew what you looked like down there from biology classes, and when I was in university, we girls in the dorm were curious enough to sneak peeks at adult films…” Yao Cen admitted with a blush.
“Darling, you’ve changed. You’re not the wife I knew. How could you…” Xiao Shun lamented with a devastated expression.
“Enough of your nonsense, move your hand! Are you not confident in your… little mushroom?”
“…”
Xiao Shun was furious. This was an attack on a man’s pride. He felt seriously provoked.
Little mushroom? Ha! She wouldn’t know how impressive her husband really was unless he showed her.
Before he could retort, Yao Cen brushed his hand aside without a second thought.
He was truly powerless now and could only let her have her way. If he couldn’t resist, he might as well enjoy it.
Yao Cen turned her face away, slowly pulling off his clothes.
The two fell into a brief silence.
“How… how is it?” Xiao Shun asked cautiously, which wasn’t really about his confidence, but about how she saw it.
Yao Cen tried to avoid his gaze, but she couldn’t completely avoid the sight from the corner of her eye.
Her mind felt a bit numb. Clearing her throat, she stammered, “It’s… it’s okay.”
Xiao Shun took a sharp intake of breath, almost choking.
What did ‘okay’ mean?
Say it clearly!
He felt belittled, an insult worse than being defeated by Gu Baiyi.
Of course, Yao Cen had no idea how much psychological damage her simple words had caused to this virgin.
She then struggled to lift Xiao Shun into the bathtub, awkwardly helping him wash while avoiding eye contact.
Xiao Shun ended this potentially exciting bath time in a state of utter despair.
The next day at breakfast, Liu Yunxiang noticed Xiao Shun’s depressed mood and asked, “What’s wrong with you this early morning? Is the food not to your liking?”
“Oh, it’s nothing, Mom. I’m fine,” Xiao Shun forced a smile. How could he tell his mother-in-law that he felt belittled by her daughter, especially in that regard?
Yao Cen held back a laugh. Eventually, she realized why he was so upset.
Ah, men, do they really care so much about size?
For some reason, seeing him so wounded made her feel a bit schadenfreude. She considered it a small prank and didn’t bother to comfort him or explain.
After breakfast, Yao Cen drove to work, and Xiao Shun waited for Duan Jia to pick him up. Today he had to go to Morgan Capital.
Around nine o’clock, Duan Jia arrived in a black business car. After greeting Liu Yunxiang, he helped Xiao Shun out the door.
Duan Jia was so strong that he carried Xiao Shun and his wheelchair down the steps in one go, leaving Liu Yunxiang stunned.
After helping Xiao Shun into the car and putting the wheelchair in the trunk, Duan Jia drove towards Morgan Capital.
“Duan, do you think ten centimeters is… okay for a man?” Xiao Shun asked pensively in the car.
“What ten centimeters?” Duan Jia looked at him in confusion.
“Nothing…”
About half an hour later, they arrived at Ding Yue’s office.
“In such hot weather, and you being inconvenienced, I should have brought the documents to you,” Ding Yue apologized, seeing Xiao Shun still in the wheelchair.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“No problem, I just wanted to get out of the house. It’s been raining for days, and I’ve been feeling cooped up,” Xiao Shun replied with a smile.
“Alright, what would you like to drink?” Ding Yue asked, shrugging.
“No, thanks,” Xiao Shun replied.
“Duan, would you like anything?” Ding Yue asked. She and Duan Jia had become familiar since their time together at Harrow.
“I’m good too. You guys carry on. I’ll wander around,” Duan Jia said. He wasn’t interested in business matters and would rather take a look at the beautiful women around.
After Duan Jia left, Ding Yue handed Xiao Shun some documents, saying, “Once you sign these, we’ll officially own 80% of Yao Group’s shares and fully control it. We can start restructuring Yao Group.”
Xiao Shun glanced over the documents. He didn’t understand these complex business documents, and he hardly ever looked at the financial reports Ding Yue sent him monthly.
As far as he was concerned, he trusted Ding Yue completely since he had handed the company to her. He knew her capabilities well.
“Our management team is also in placeand ready to take over at any time. What do you think?”
“You handle it. I’ve given you full authority,” Xiao Shun said.
“Sure, I’ll get it done,” she affirmed.
“How many people do you have here?” Xiao Shun asked, looking through the glass door at the busy office outside.
“Thirty-six, why?” Ding Yue replied.
“Start hiring in advance. We’re going to need to expand soon. You’ll need a lot more people,” Xiao Shun said with a meaningful smile.
“Can you give me a hint about your plans? I need to know how many people we need to hire and what skills we should be looking for,” Ding Yue said, taking her notebook seriously.
“We’re about to fight a big and long battle. As for who we’re fighting, you’ll know soon. For now, just start hiring. No matter how many you need, hire them according to the company’s current salary and job ratio,” Xiao Shun stated seriously.
He had made up his mind. No matter what Song Qingzhou’s response was, he was going to take a shot at the Old School Society. Not for anything else, but to avenge his pride.
If he managed to accomplish this, it wouldn’t be a waste of his life.
The Old School Society was supported by two legs: martial power and wealth. If he was going to take them down, he not only needed to start from the martial world but also from the business world. He needed to break both legs.
That’s why he needed a team like Ding Yue’s to help him nibble away at the properties of the Old School Society.
The Old School Society’s properties were spread all over the country. According to Song Qingzhou, their wealth was in the trillions.
As for exactly how much, even Song Qingzhou probably didn’t have a precise figure. To swallow such a vast fortune, he needed a large sum of money. But where would the money come from?
Xiao Shun had a rough plan in mind.
Ding Yue was stunned by the scale of his ambition. But as a competent subordinate, she wouldn’t question her leader’s decision, at least for now.
She also believed that Xiao Shun wouldn’t issue such an order without reason. Morgan Capital was hiring industry elites, each with an annual salary of no less than 500, 000. Even if they had strong financial resources, they wouldn’t waste money like this.
