My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 300: Chapter 0299: Organizing the Meeting (Sixth Update)_1
 

Establishing a company involved so many tasks that the two of them were too busy to even stop for a meal.

“You look very tired?”

At mealtime, He Mengji saw his listless appearance and casually asked.

“Didn’t sleep well last night,” Ye Xiong replied.

He Mengji guessed what was happening and said seriously, “In the coming days, there will be a lot of work that requires a great deal of energy. You need to learn to conserve your strength and focus it on the most critical aspects. After all, I’m racing against time. While Ghost and Long Lan are recuperating, we’re accelerating our strength enhancement so we can face the upcoming battles.”

What she meant was that Ye Xiong should not be so wild at night and should reserve some energy for more important tasks.

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh, finding her always so rational.

“I’ll manage it,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

He Mengji glanced at him but said nothing more.

The building was ready-made and required little renovation, so progress was very rapid.

With both of them working overtime, the company was quickly renovated and a lucky day was chosen for the grand opening.

During this period, Ye Xiong had not spoken to Tang Ning for quite a while; every time he saw her, he could see her resentful eyes and pitiful demeanor.

Every time she saw him, Tang Ning hesitated to speak, her eyes red.

Ye Xiong was not new to seeing her play the pity card; if she did not admit her mistakes this time, she should not expect his forgiveness.

Her personality needed to be checked, otherwise she might still think that she could control everything, having her way with the wind and the rain.

On the other hand, with Yang Xinyi, the two of them were in their honeymoon phase, sticking together every night, inseparable as paint to wood.

There was a saying: The way to a woman’s soul is through ***.

Rude as it might be, the saying had aptly captured the essence of the relationship between men and women.

Having had a taste, Yang Xinyi was insatiable every night. Thankfully, Ye Xiong was physically strong and could withstand it.

Worried about Ye Xiong’s health, Yang Xinyi made nourishing soups for him every night, bringing their relationship to its closest since they had started dating.

It was during this time that Tang Ning moved back to the school dormitory.

Ye Xiong didn’t see her when he came back at night and only then found out.

Yang Xinyi said Tang Ning didn’t wish to keep running back and forth, which is why she decided to move back to the school dormitory.

Ye Xiong knew the reason couldn’t be that simple.

After half a month, the company was fully repaired and ready for the opening day.

At the opening, Ye Xiong kept a low profile and only called over a group of his subordinates to announce the news.

Phoenix, Chen Xiao, Vermilion Bird, Du Feng, Lu Long, Thirteen, An Family Sisters—all were present. In addition, Ye Xiong recruited over a dozen retired special forces soldiers from Dragon Group and, including the team that He Mengji brought back from abroad, the security company’s staff had reached over fifty people, each one of them a skilled individual.

To these people below, if they were to confront ordinary criminals, it would be a very strong organization indeed, but Ye Xiong knew that these people were far from enough to stand against the Beast Organization.

In this group, aside from Phoenix who could be considered a top expert, Vermilion Bird, Chen Xiao, Thirteen, Lu Long, Du Feng—these could only be counted as second-tier experts, while the rest were just good hands, not even qualified to be termed as experts.

Phoenix was not yet part of the Hunter Organization.

Ye Xiong knew of the Beast Organization’s power, whether it was the leader Ghost, the formidable Skeleton he had encountered, Ghost Shadow, the disciple of Ghost whom he had fought at Thunder Mountain, or Long Tianya’s daughter, Long Lan, Li Chunpeng.

The strength of these experts was frighteningly high.

Fortunately, Dragon Group was restraining the Beast Organization; otherwise, given the Hunter Organization’s power, it would still be too weak.

During the organizational meeting, Ye Xiong announced himself as the leader of the organization, and He Mengji as the deputy leader, assisting Ye Xiong in managing all subordinates; everyone was to obey their commands.

He Mengji delivered a speech, stating she would make the utmost effort to secure the highest commissions for the people within the organization.

There was nothing more attractive than Gold Coin.

After the meeting, Ye Xiong found He Mengji and said, “We’re still too weak. There are no real experts among us. It seems we need to find a way to recruit more top fighters to join and strengthen the organization.”

“A skyscraper rises from the ground; nobody can become big in one gulp. Your start now is countless times stronger than when I ran a Mercenary Group abroad,” He Mengji remarked.

Recalling those hard times, He Mengji couldn’t help but feel emotional, for her rationality had been shaped by the many experiences she had endured.

One could say that no other woman her age had gone through as much turmoil as she had.

“Most of the country’s top experts are unwilling to join organizations, and those willing to work for hire demand upwards of a million monthly salary; these individuals are mainly recruited by the largest domestic consortiums to become Mountain-guarding Experts. With our financial resources, we simply don’t have the ability to poach them,” He Mengji explained.

“Even for someone with the capabilities of Vermilion Bird or Chen Xiao, if they were willing, they could easily obtain a salary of several hundred thousand per annum. The only reason they are helping you is out of friendship,” He Mengji added.

Ye Xiong nodded, feeling that she was right.

“But friendship is just friendship; it will run out one day. If the organization can’t ensure sufficient income for them, they will eventually leave sooner or later. That’s why, starting now, I’m accepting various bodyguard missions to increase the company’s revenue,” He Mengji said.

“With you on board, I believe we will soon be raking it in,” Ye Xiong chuckled.

“Based on what you said about Long Lan’s injury last time, I’m guessing she’s almost fully healed by now. If she’s really the kind of crazed woman you described, she has probably already started to plot her insane revenge against you,” He Mengji speculated.

“Let her come; I’ve been waiting for them a long time. It’s also a good opportunity for me to grab Li Chunpeng and inquire about the annihilation of my squad back then,” Ye Xiong said, with a surge of murderous intensity in his eyes.

“They’ve taken a beating before and know how formidable you are, so they definitely won’t confront you directly. It’s very likely they will secretly target your family members to threaten you. I think they might go after your father and sister in the Capital City. You should prepare in advance,” He Mengji warned.

“I’ve already set a trap, just waiting for them to jump in.”

Ye Xiong drew out the Cold Ink Dagger, staring coldly at the hilt.

Since Long Tianya had tampered with the dagger and installed a tracker, then he would just have to fight fire with fire…

This time, he had to capture both Li Chunpeng and Long Lan.

His gaze turned icy.

Next, Ye Xiong went to find Phoenix and Chen Xiao, instructing them to handle a matter.

Then, Ye Xiong made a call to Long Zaitian, asking the organization to make a head cover that looked exactly like him.

His plan was simple: have Chen Xiao disguise as himself, carrying the Cold Ink Dagger to the Capital City. If Long Tianya detected the dagger’s movement, he would definitely think Ye Xiong had left Jiangnan City and would send people to capture Yang Xinyi.

This score needed to be settled properly!
