CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 206 BRUSHING TEETH AND WASHING FACE (1/3)

After reading the development history of the Shangdong Group, Yang Chen understood everything.

It could be said that Wei Qingzhong and Liu Chengpeng started the business together, but the Shangdong Group was single-handedly founded by Wei Qingzhong.

During the period when Wei Qingzhong established the Shangdong Group, Liu Chengpeng left and returned to the company three times.

When they first started the business, Liu Chengpeng couldn’t handle the pressure, which was one of the times.

To prevent Liu Chengpeng from suffering losses, Wei Qingzhong borrowed money to buy 50% of Liu Chengpeng’s shares at a premium. At that time, they were just a small sales company specializing in selling telephones.

Liu Chengpeng didn’t suffer a loss at that time because even if they valued the company, it could only be calculated based on liabilities and wasn’t worth much. Besides, Wei Qingzhong bought it at a premium, which was what Liu Chengpeng needed at the time.

The second time was when the company started to show promise, and Wei Qingzhong hired Liu Chengpeng back as the deputy general manager, and they managed the company together.

But after working for a while, Liu Chengpeng resigned again.

The reason for this is hard to guess, but the third time it’s more obvious.

The third time, the Shangdong Group was officially established, began recruiting shareholders, raised funds, and divided shares. Wei Qingzhong once again invited Liu Chengpeng into the company and gave Liu Chengpeng 11% of the shares for free.

Those 11% of shares were worth tens of millions at the time!

It was also this time that Liu Chengpeng began to continue working at the Shangdong Group, working there for five or six years, and later retired to a secondary position, now staying behind the scenes, only controlling shares.

From a sentence Liu Chengpeng said about the Shangdong Group, Yang Chen noticed something.

He said: The Shangdong Group to me is like my own child; every step it takes is under my care.

So, he believes that the Shangdong Group was founded by him and he deserves credit, but he only has 11% of the shares, whereas Wei Qingzhong has 50%!

The rest of the shareholders’ shares were carved out from his portion!

In this way, Yang Chen was even more certain of Liu Chengpeng’s motive.

Yang Chen closed the book, his eyes flashing with a cold light. No matter who it is, as long as Yang Chen catches them with evidence, he will make them pay the price!

...

The next day.

Yang Chen got up early and washed his face in the bathroom...

That’s right, just washing his face.

His hands were inconvenient, so he could only fill the sink with water, soak his face, and then splash it.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Yang Chen stopped his actions, wanted to wipe his face. Seeing the towel was too high up, he decided to forgo it and went out to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, something came into Yang Chen’s view.

A simply dressed, graceful beauty stood at his doorway.

Today, Ye Xin was wearing a black dress, appearing simple and elegant, but still couldn’t hide her curvaceous figure.

"Xinxin," Yang Chen said softly.

He thought Ye Xin was angry with him yesterday and wouldn’t pay him any attention.

Ye Xin indeed ignored Yang Chen and walked straight in, heading to the separate bathroom.

After taking a glance at the sink, she understood what was going on and said to Yang Chen, "Come here, I’ll help you wash your face and brush your teeth!"

Yang Chen was taken aback and felt a warm feeling spreading in his heart, but he still refused with his mouth, "No need, I can wash it casually."

"Come here!" Ye Xin glared at Yang Chen playfully.

"Uh!"

Yang Chen had no choice but to walk over.

"Bend down," Ye Xin pressed down on Yang Chen’s sturdy shoulders.

Yang Chen bent down, trying his best to keep his face close to the sink.

Ye Xin poured a little water and gently washed Yang Chen’s face, then applied facial cleanser, softly rubbing it for Yang Chen.

Feeling Ye Xin’s soft hands, Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile comfortably.

"Don’t smile!" Ye Xin said coldly, "The foam is getting in your mouth!"

Yang Chen quickly shut his mouth.

After washing his face, Ye Xin brushed Yang Chen’s teeth.

Facing each other, Ye Xin diligently brushed Yang Chen’s teeth while Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin with eyes full of affection.

"Okay, gargle!" Ye Xin placed a cup of water at Yang Chen’s mouth.

Yang Chen took a mouthful of water, rinsed his mouth, and Ye Xin helped clean the foam from the corners of his mouth.

After washing and brushing the toothbrush, Ye Xin pulled Yang Chen out, took out skincare products to apply on Yang Chen’s face.

"No need! I don’t need this stuff," Yang Chen said quickly.

Ye Xin stared at Yang Chen and said, "How can you not? Your skin is so dry. If a man doesn’t take care of himself, how old do you want to look later, that I won’t even want you!"

"Uh!" Yang Chen quickly said, "Then let’s put some on!"

"Hmph!" Ye Xin snorted proudly.

After applying on his face, Ye Xin said, "Today, have a good talk with Qingqing. You were too harsh with your words yesterday."

Yang Chen shook his head, "I said what needed to be said; she can’t hurt you like that."

Ye Xin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, sighed, and earnestly held Yang Chen’s face, saying, "My dear, I know you care for me, but the timing and people were wrong. Uncle Zhong just passed away; Qingqing’s thoughts are inevitably extreme, let alone that you told her you knew someone had targeted Uncle Zhong, but you went to Gu Gu City to save me. With the current state of Qingqing, she could even think we were responsible for hurting Uncle Zhong. But I could see that Qingqing regretted right after saying those things, and it was impulsive. Please take the initiative, give her a way out, okay my dear?"

Yang Chen thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Then I’ll take time to talk to her."

"Mm, you’re so wonderful, my dear!" Ye Xin said happily, giving Yang Chen a quick kiss on the cheek.

Yang Chen’s eyes instantly lit up in green.

Seeing this, Ye Xin quickly jumped out of Yang Chen’s reach, pointed at Yang Chen, and said, "That’s all for now! No more!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen was once again a bit disappointed.

...

In the morning, Chen Siyan went to call Wei Xueqing to get up for breakfast, struggling to get Wei Xueqing to come out.

Since yesterday, Wei Xueqing hadn’t spoken a word or eaten a bite, making Chen Siyan very worried.

Now Wei Xueqing looked very haggard, her complexion dull, lips chapped, eyes swollen, lacking her usual grace.

With Chen Siyan’s support, Wei Xueqing walked out slowly.

As they went downstairs, they saw Yang Chen’s room door open and Ye Xin and Yang Chen walking out looking sweet.

Seeing this, Chen Siyan and Wei Xueqing both had a slight change in expression.

Wei Xueqing took a deep breath and said to Chen Siyan, "Take me back; I don’t want to see them!"

"Sister Xueqing!" Chen Siyan looked troubled because she hadn’t eaten for a day.

Yang Chen, having seen this, frowned slightly.

Ye Xin was also full of worry, looking towards Yang Chen for help.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and walked over, blocking Wei Xueqing’s path back.

"Move aside!" Wei Xueqing said coldly.

Yang Chen stared at Wei Xueqing with a cold voice, "If you act like this, we shouldn’t have saved you in the first place, just let the thugs kill you so I wouldn’t be injured, and your father wouldn’t have to raise money for you and wouldn’t die unexpectedly! If you think our sacrifice only resulted in someone like you, then by all means, continue mistreating your own body, even starve to death with no one to care! You say besides your father, everyone else’s care for you is fake, but as I see it, what you call your longing for him is what’s fake! If it were real, you wouldn’t hurt yourself, whom your father loved so dearly!"

Hearing this, tears fell from Wei Xueqing’s eyes, which had been dry from crying.
