Chapter 50: It's all about a marriage certificate.
As Qiao Yunan finished speaking, everyone on the scene looked at the woman who was still wearing sunglasses.
“President Su, it’s really not appropriate for your bodyguard to stay here,” Gu Yuandong chimed in.
Yun Yao thought that Su Yuchen would definitely follow their lead and kick her out, and she was already prepared to fight back.
"What do you think? Should we go outside and wait for me, or stay here?" Su Yuchen suddenly asked.
Yun Yao looked at Su Yuchen with some surprise, and saw a sense of respect for her in his eyes, which touched her slightly.
"I'll stay." She didn't want to go out. No matter how capable she was, if Su Yuchen encountered danger, she couldn't guarantee that she could save him in time.
Of course, she still cherished her magic, which couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake.
Yun Yao's attitude was clear, and Su Yuchen said directly, "Okay, then you stay."
Now, not only Gu Yuandong was shocked by Su Yuchen's attitude towards this bodyguard, but even Qiao Yunan's gaze towards Su Yuchen became unfriendly.
The relationship between Su Yuchen and her was clearly not as hostile as he had found out, and Yun Yao was not as heartless and emotionless as he remembered.
Qiao Yunan sensed Yun Yao scrutinizing him, but didn't say anything more, casually shrugging: "Since President Su doesn't care, then it seems like I'm being nosy."
Hearing his words, Yun Yao suppressed her anger considerably, but she found Qiao Yunan's face increasingly unpleasant to look at.
With no one targeting Yun Yao anymore, she leaned against the wall and pretended to doze off again.
Both sides were determined to acquire the Far East Company and were unwilling to concede in their bids until both exceeded their respective budgets.
Chen Dong and Lian Shen were both getting anxious. It seemed like these two old men weren't talking about cooperation, but rather competing with each other!
“I’ll offer 100 million.” Su Yuchen leaned back in his chair, looking at Qiao Yunan with undiminished interest.
Qiao Yunan did the same, taking off his glasses from the bridge of his nose and wiping them carefully in his hand, then parted his thin lips slightly: "Two hundred million."
"One billion." Su Yuchen remained unyielding.
Now it was the two assistants' turn to panic. They exchanged glances and hurriedly tried to dissuade their respective masters.
“Master, the Far East Company is not worth this price at all. If we increase the price any further, there will be no point in us acquiring the company,” Lian Shen said directly.
“Master, investing this money in a company that’s about to go bankrupt is not as worthwhile as buying a piece of land!” Chen Dong followed suit.
Gu Yuandong: "..." Can't you see him sitting right here? Can you please not be so direct?
These two bigwigs seemed not to hear at all, and kept raising the price.
"Two billion." Qiao Yunan put on his glasses, instantly adding a touch of refinement to his already strikingly handsome face.
“Fifty billion,” Su Yuchen said calmly.
Chen Dong nearly fell over. He wanted to say something, but in this situation, it was no chance for him to interrupt.
If things continue like this, all of the company's working capital will be tied up in this mess, and Chen Dong can only worry helplessly.
Lian Shen on the other side was in the same boat. Although he wanted to stop them, he didn't have the guts and could only watch as the two of them drove the price up to 10 billion.
Master, you can't waste money like this!
To casually produce 10 billion is already a dominant force in China. Gu Yuandong never imagined he would see so much money in his lifetime. Today, he is the ultimate winner!
Although Su Yuchen was determined to win this battle, he had hundreds of employees in his subsidiaries to support, so he couldn't gamble everything like Qiao Yunan. Seeing the price soar to 10 billion, he hesitated for a moment.
As Chen Dong grew increasingly anxious about the stalemate, he caught a glimpse of Yun Yao dozing off out of the corner of his eye.
Yes, they also have Miss Yun Yao, don't they?
Last time when people from S Group came, Miss Yun Yao immediately provided 5 billion yuan to help them out of their predicament. This time, she should be able to turn the tide as well!
Chen Dong moved closer to Yun Yao, but before his hand could touch her, he heard Yun Yao's voice.
"what are you doing?"
Chen Dong was startled, but quickly recovered.
"Miss Yun Yao, you should persuade your master. This lousy company has already soared to 10 billion." Chen Dong said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
After hearing this, Yun Yao slid the sunglasses off her nose and threw them into Chen Dong's hands.
Before Chen Dong could react to what was happening, he saw Yun Yao slam her hand on the conference table, making a loud noise.
"I'll put up another 10 billion!" Yun Yao stood beside Su Yuchen, her cold eyes fixed on Qiao Yunan.
When he saw her again, he was still as moved as when they first met, but her speaking to Su Yuchen and her resolute act of standing on the opposite side of him caused him a dull ache in his heart.
"Miss, regardless of whether you have the ability to come up with 20 billion, it seems you have no right to speak in this situation!" Gu Yuandong had no good attitude towards this little bodyguard who wanted to get involved.
Yun Yao suppressed the urge to slap Gu Yuandong away and looked at him with great displeasure.
"What did you say? Say it again." She actually dared to say she had no right to speak here? Well done, lad, you've got some nerve!
Gu Yuandong was blinded by the prospect of 10 billion yuan and completely oblivious to the displeasure of the two powerful figures present due to his attitude towards Yun Yao. He continued recklessly, "Do you think you can just interfere in this situation? What is your relationship with President Su? And what qualifications do you have?"
As Gu Yuandong finished speaking, a contemptuous laugh rang out.
Yun Yao looked at the arrogant Gu Yuandong, traced her finger across the table, and walked towards him.
"Boy, you ask me what my relationship is with Su Yuchen?" Yun Yao's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was as cold as ice.
Seeing Yun Yao like this, Su Yuchen had a bad feeling.
"Yun Yao," Su Yuchen called out to stop her.
But, it's too late.
Yun Yao leaned on the table with one hand, looking down at Gu Yuandong.
"You ask me what our relationship is? I'll tell you now, it's nothing more than... a marriage certificate."
Yun Yao uttered these words casually, and the arena fell into a deathly silence.
A moment later, Qiao Yunan reacted the most. He stood up and glared at Yun Yao with uncontrollable rage.
"You married him?" Qiao Yunan's gaze towards Yun Yao was extremely gloomy.
"So what if I am? So what if I am not?" Su Yuchen stood up and pulled Yun Yao directly behind him.
Their angry gazes met, and their auras clashed as they attacked each other relentlessly.
He didn't know why Qiao Yunan's reaction was so intense, but Su Yuchen clearly sensed his targeting of Yun Yao and instinctively pulled Yun Yao behind him.
As for Yun Yao, she was also slightly shaken. Originally, she was going to throw her and Su Yuchen's marriage certificate at Qiao Yunan's face, but he protected her behind him. Looking at the tall figure in front of her, she realized that she was being protected by someone else.
Of the group, Gu Yuandong was the most dumbfounded.
The bodyguard he looked down on was actually Su Yuchen's... no, wife?
If he offended Yun Yao just now, wouldn't that be the same as offending Su Yuchen, his ancestor?
