C22 Go to the Banquet With Me

Shen Qi was about to reach her hand to take it when the envelope landed at her feet. Shen Qi stiffened for a second before bending down to pick up the envelope.

When she opened it, she found a marriage manual.

"Sign it!" Ye Moxuan's voice was cold and indifferent. When Shen Qi looked up, she met his dark and piercing eyes. Frightened, she shifted her gaze back to the contract and quickly skimmed the contents.

"Be it you or your sister, you're both nothing but trouble, so I'll only give you half a year. Half a year later, take this contract and check and leave the Ye family. Don't ever come back."

With that, Ye Moxuan placed a check on the table.

When she saw the check, Shen Qi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.

She had been thinking about how to apologize when she came. Who knew he had already prepared a contract and check.

"This amount should be enough to satisfy your vanity, right?"

Shen Qi clenched her hand, wrinkling the contract in her hands. Her fingertips turned white from the pressure. She uncapped the pen and signed her name on the signature line. Then, she put the contract back into the manila envelope and slowly walked toward Ye Moxuan.

Ye Moxuan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. "Money really is the easiest way to get rid of women."

But the next second, Shen Qi slammed the contract on the table. Ye Moxuan frowned in dissatisfaction.

"You don't need to bribe me with money. I'm staying in the Ye family to get what I need. I'm grateful that you didn't force me to abort the child, but that doesn't mean you can humiliate me with money!"

"Pfft." Ye Moxuan sneered. His eyes were full of sarcasm. "Don't women like you treat money like it's their life?"

"You!" Shen Qi clenched her fists. She wanted to argue with him, but a moment later, she released her fists and smiled. "You're right. If you think I'm that kind of person, then I guess I am. Anyway, we are only using each other to get what we need. I signed the contract, so don't worry. I'll leave when the time comes."

She must think of a solution during this period of time.

"Very well, I look forward to the day you leave."

Shen Qi turned around and left but left the check on the table.

Ye Moxuan narrowed his eyes.

It's a check for a large amount of money, but she didn't even look at it. Is this an act, or is she really not interested in money?

If she's not interested in money, what's her purpose for marrying into the Ye family?

After signing the contract, Shen Qi and Ye Moxuan were able to get along with their contractual relationship. They haven't had any disputes, and she still followed Ye Moxuan to the company as his assistant under Old Master Ye's appointment.

Shen Qi was not stupid, and her work ability isn't bad. She can grasp the opportunity if she had a chance to learn.

In less than a week, Xiao Su's impression of her changed.

"Young Master Ye, she's quite capable."

Ye Moxuan sneered, "Really?"

Xiao Su nodded. "She did pretty well with the things Young Master Ye told her to do."

It was true.

"How can she be an idiot when she married into the Ye family using tricks?"

Xiao Su choked at his words and decided not to comment. He lowered his head and checked the schedule. "There's a banquet tonight. Does Young Master Ye want to bring Miss Shen?"

"Bring her?" Ye Moxuan tapped his fingers on the desktop, his eyes still focused on his laptop. "So she can make a fool of herself?" he asked.

Xiao Su didn't dare to say anything else and could only shut his mouth.

They talked for a while about work. After they finished, Xiao Su turned to leave.

But when Xiao Su was at the door, Ye Moxuan suddenly said, "Call Shen Qi in."

"Okay." Once Xiao Su left the office, he couldn't control his lips from twitching.

Young Master Ye seems to have been slapping his own face a lot recently. He just said that Shen Qi is an embarrassment, and then he asked him to call her in. Maybe he wants to bring her to the banquet after all?

Shen Qi's office was next door. She was handling some documents when Xiao Su went to call her.

"Give me two minutes. I'll be done soon."

"You want to die?" Xiao Su came closer to her and said seriously, "Young Master Ye asked you to go to his office. Are you sure you want to make him wait?"

Shen Qi frowned and put the documents down. She took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

Then she got up and walked towards Ye Moxuan's office.

As soon as Shen Qi entered, Xiao Su hid behind the door to eavesdrop.

"Young Master Ye, you're looking for me?" Ye Moxuan had conditions to allow her to work at the company, one of them being that he doesn't want others to know about their relationship. When they're at the company, she is only his assistant and nothing more. When they met, she must use honorifics and call him Young Master Ye like everyone else.

At first, Shen Qi felt uncomfortable with the change, but she got used to it after a while.

Ye Moxuan threw a golden invitation letter at her.

Shen Qi was confused but went up to get it. After taking a look, she asked, "Does Young Master Ye need to attend this banquet?" Shen Qi's mind spun rapidly. The look in her beautiful eyes changed when she thought of something. "I remember the Mr. Lu of the Lu Group Corporation is also invited. If nothing goes wrong, he should also attend this banquet. Young Master Ye can use this opportunity to express our desire to cooperate with him."

A hint of admiration flashed in Ye Moxuan's eyes.

This woman's reaction is quick, and her memory's not bad.

"Yes."

"Then, Young Master Ye, I will go and prepare right away."

"You're coming with me," Ye Moxuan said, just when Shen Qi turned around.

Shen Qi stopped and turned back, looking at him with confusion. "Young Master Ye wants me to go with you?"

"I don't like discussing work at banquets. You go."

Shen Qi understood and nodded. "I understand. I will talk with Director Lu in your place when we meet him. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Not yet." Ye Moxuan sized her up. His cold gaze scanned her from head to toe. Shen Qi felt uncomfortable and subconsciously clamped her legs together.
