I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 41 You look so beautiful when you're serious.

"Nonsense!" Shen Qianfeng's old face fell. "Do you think anyone can just become the group's president?"

Shen Qingrou retorted nonchalantly, "I got the job just because I wanted it. Isn't it just a matter of a word from you?"

Shen Qianfeng reprimanded, "Of course it's not something I can decide with just a word!"

Your promotion to vice president is entirely thanks to your mother.

It was only because of your mother that the board elders agreed.

Do you know why you're a vice president?

Because you are not qualified enough.

I originally thought that after two years of training, you would be able to get promoted based on your intelligence and talent.

Sigh... I really didn't expect this... Yingrou, you're also a top scorer in the college entrance exam, right?

I've failed as your father; I haven't cared for you enough, and I don't know how you've become like this.

Do you realize how disappointed your mother is in heaven by doing this?

Shen Qingrou tightened her pretty face, forcing back the tears from her eyes.

Seeing his daughter like this, Shen Qianfeng sighed inwardly and ultimately stopped lecturing her. Instead, he looked at Ye Cheng and said, "Kid, I've always trusted my daughter's judgment, but there are some things you need to understand. No matter how outstanding you are, I still favor my daughter."

"If you want to establish yourself in the Shen family, you must first help Qingrou gain a foothold there."

Poor parents in the world.

Ye Cheng inwardly admired the old father's good intentions.

However, Shen Qingrou, the daughter, did not seem to appreciate it.

Ye Cheng nodded understandingly: "I know your concerns, but please rest assured, everything I do is gentle."

Shen Qianfeng stepped forward and patted Ye Cheng on the shoulder: "Go ahead and do it, I'll cover for you."

After saying that, he turned and left without giving any further explanation.

Silence quickly filled the office. Shen Qingrou looked up, forcing back her tears: "Old Man Shen has already acknowledged your abilities. You can decide what to do next yourself, but don't drag me into it."

Looking at her like this, Ye Cheng felt inexplicably sorry for her: "I am just a staff officer without military power. Without involving you, I will be unable to move an inch."

Come on, husband and wife united in heart, their strength can break even metal!

Seeing Ye Cheng's excited state, Shen Qingrou became a little interested.

"I can accompany you to social events, but for every social event, I have to slap you once."

Also, don't let me speak during social gatherings; just treat me like a wooden doll.

"Okay, whatever you say goes, I'll do whatever you say."

Shen Qingrou then revealed a strange smile of satisfaction.

"Who do you want to visit tomorrow, and how much money do you need for entertainment? I'll approve it for you right now."

Ye Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Logically speaking, we should first pay our respects to the city lord of Hedong City."

However, a local official has more power than a distant one. Qingyuan Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Suburbs District, so it would be better to pay a visit to the district head first.

Shen Qingrou took the laptop from Ye Cheng, and in a flurry of activity, returned it to Ye Cheng in less than ten minutes.

"The detailed information of the head of the East Suburbs District is all here. Take a look and prepare in advance."

Ye Cheng took the document, glanced at it, and suggested, "It would be best to call him now and make an appointment in advance."

Without saying a word, Shen Qingrou picked up her phone and made a call.

"Hello, this is Xiao Wei, the secretary of Xu Menghao, the district head of the eastern suburbs of Hedong City. May I ask who you are?"

Shen Qingrou, abandoning her usual arrogance, greeted him in a proper tone and melodious voice: "Hello, Secretary Wei, I am Shen Qingrou, the president of Shen Group. I would like to meet with District Chief Xu to discuss the development of Qingyuan Mountain."

"Develop Qingyuan Mountain?" Secretary Wei's voice sounded somewhat strange.

Shen Qingrou, with her keen senses, noticed this and quickly asked, "Is something wrong?"

Secretary Wei smiled and said, "It's not a matter of whether it's appropriate or not, but rather that I find it strange that the three major groups in Hedong City are all eyeing Qingyuan Mountain at the same time."

Mr. Shen, to be honest, both the Chen Group and the Cheng Group have called, wanting to talk to the district head about developing Qingyuan Mountain.

The district head was still considering his options when President Shen suddenly entered the picture.

Shen Qingrou was stunned when she heard this. Wow, that's really fast!

"Secretary Wei, I believe that the Shen family has the most say in the development of Qingyuan Mountain."

I wonder if Secretary Wei has paid attention to today's trending video.

Secretary Wei said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I don't pay much attention to these things."

Here's what I'll do: I'll report this matter to the district head. As for the district head's decision, please wait for further instructions, Mr. Shen.

However, Mr. Shen can rest assured about one thing: the district head is fair and impartial, and will not show favoritism; all three of you will be given a chance.

This is indeed not something that a district head's secretary can decide, but his opinion plays a crucial role.

Therefore, Shen Qingrou politely said, "Thank you for your trouble, Secretary Wei. When would you have time to have a meal together?"

Secretary Wei smiled and said, "No need for that. I'm quite busy. That's all for now. Goodbye."

Shen Qingrou didn't press the issue, knowing that it was only natural for people to be cautious when dealing with someone for the first time.

After saying goodbye, she hung up the phone and looked up to see Ye Cheng staring at her with a fascination.

"My wife looked so beautiful just now," Ye Cheng said sincerely.

Shen Qingrou was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Ye Cheng, who usually had a restrained and aloof demeanor, would actually say sweet words.

"Ha, has the sun risen in the west?"

Shen Qingrou felt a little uncomfortable, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

"First of all, I'm a normal man. Secondly, the way you just acted made me realize something about you."

"When the enemy advances, we retreat," Shen Qingrou said, not letting Ye Cheng continue. "Just now, the district chief's secretary said that the Chen Group and the Cheng Group made an appointment with the district chief first."

You are now in a passive position.

Ye Cheng withdrew his gaze and said seriously, "None of the three top groups in Hedong City are easy to deal with. We have no choice but to take the initiative."

Do you have detailed information about that secretary? I'd like to compare it and see if there's a suitable entry point.

Shen Qingrou copied the document and sent it to Ye Cheng's phone, then reminded him: "I've heard a little about this district head. You'd better not think about taking any crooked paths. He doesn't fall for that kind of thing, and that secretary might not dare to either."

To win his favor, you'd better demonstrate some real talent and show him your strengths.

While looking at his phone, Ye Cheng said, "We have a great advantage in fair and square competition."

Anyone with a brain can see that what happened in Shantao Village today is actually us creating momentum for the development of Qingyuan Mountain.

Moreover, we built this Soft Hotel in this area many years ago, which shows that we have been planning this for a long time before taking this action today.

This is far beyond what the Chen and Cheng families could achieve by hastily entering the game.

The advantage lies with me; my only fear is that the Chen and Cheng families will resort to underhanded tactics.

Therefore, I need to make several preparations.

Shen Qingrou blinked: "Do you already have a plan?"

She suspected that Ye Cheng had already considered this aspect, which was why he appeared so calm and composed in the face of falling behind.

Ye Cheng nodded and said, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you."

Could you drive me out for a bit later?

Shen Qingrou asked in confusion, "Where to?"

Ye Cheng looked up at her and said, "Go to the district head's house."
