Qin Zhen’s face turned completely dark. “I have been too lenient with you, and now you dare to speak to me like this?”

Shen Qingyue smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes. “I am no longer your wife, so please, Mr. Qin, don’t boss me around. I won’t indulge you anymore. Let’s not make things unpleasant for everyone.”

Qin Zhen’s anger was ignited to the fullest. He grabbed her hand, his dark eyes filled with fury. “Let me remind you, we haven’t divorced yet!”

“We’ll get divorced tomorrow, it’s all the same. Please be punctual, Mr. Qin,” Shen Qingyue shrugged off his hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe it. “In the future, Mr. Qin, please don’t touch me and interfere with my search for a boyfriend.”

Qin Zhen was already furious when he saw her actions, and the veins on his forehead bulged when he heard her words. “Are you still looking for a boyfriend?”

Shen Qingyue raised her eyebrows. “I’m only 24 years old. Why shouldn’t I find a boyfriend? Are you sick or something?”

Yu Zhuang, who had parked the car, walked over. Before he could call out ‘Miss Shen’, he was shocked by Qin Zhen’s eyes that looked like he wanted to eat her up.

Shen Qingyue turned around. “Is the car parked properly?”

Yu Zhuang cautiously glanced at Qin Zhen and nodded.

“Let’s go inside,” Shen Qingyue led Yu Zhuang into the building.

Qin Zhen took a step forward and blocked her path. “Is this your next target? You don’t have any backbone at all. Is this all you have?”

However, as soon as he said that, Qin Zhen regretted it. Those who did not know better would think that he was jealous.

Shen Qingyue put away her smile and said, “Yu Zhuang is a very good person. I think if President Qin is cultured, you shouldn’t casually comment on strangers.”

She walked to his side and thought of something. “However, you are right about one thing. My taste is indeed not that good. Otherwise, why would I marry you back then?”

After saying that, she walked into the hotel lobby without looking back.

Yu Zhuang quickly followed, but he could not shake off the feeling that Qin Zhen’s eyes were still fixed on him, giving him an uneasy feeling.

Qin Zhen stared intensely at the two of them and then turned to instruct Zhu Quan, “Go find out who that man is!”

Zhu Quan nodded and bowed his head, but a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.

…

Shen Qingyue entered the private room where Wang Ping was already seated.

Upon seeing her, Wang Ping stood up. “I just arrived. Please have a seat.”

They exchanged some brief pleasantries, and then Wang Ping casually said, “Ms. Shen, you took charge of such a big project at such a young age. I assume you have a wealth of work experience?”

Shen Qingyue could naturally sense that he was testing her, implying that she lacked experience. She answered truthfully, “This is my first time dealing with project management.”

Wang Ping pretended to be surprised. “Then what kind of work did you do before?”

Shen Qingyue replied, “I was a full-time housewife. I just returned to the workforce in the past few days.”

Wang Ping expressed regret, “President Shen, forgive me for being presumptuous, but as a newcomer to the workplace with no work experience, I find it difficult to entrust the cooperation to you. Previously, we were discussing with Young Master Shen… oh, Mr. Shen Yiyao. We know each other better. If possible, I still hope to work with him.”

Shen Qingyue crossed her arms and propped herself on the table, “President Wang wants to cooperate with Shen Yiyao because it’s more convenient for the progress of the work, or is it because you want to gain some benefits from it? You’ve received quite a lot before, haven’t you?”

Wang Ping’s face changed. “What do you mean, President Shen? I have conducted myself properly. You can’t slander me!”

Shen Qingyue signaled to Yu Zhuang.

Yu Zhuang understood and handed the prepared documents to Wang Ping.

Wang Ping took the documents and his face instantly turned grim.

Shen Qingyue’s voice sounded lazy. “The accounts from your previous collaborations with Shen Yiyao don’t match up. Where did all that money go?”

Wang Ping’s face turned pale.

Shen Qingyue spoke gently, “I remember your brother-in-law is the controlling shareholder of Linjiang Group, right? If he knew about this, tsk… I wonder what he would do, and what your sister would think?”

Wang Ping feared his brother-in-law the most, and now he couldn’t sit still anymore. “Ms. Shen, I was wrong. Please don’t tell my brother-in-law. I will repay all the money I embezzled, no, I will repay double!”

“Wang Ping, don’t be nervous,” Shen Qingyue took a sip of tea. “The losses before were just a small amount of money, and I didn’t really care.”

Wang Ping understood the implications in her words. However, Shen Yiyao also held these pieces of evidence, so he was in a dilemma. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke with difficulty, “Ms. Shen, Shen Yiyao has instructed me not to cooperate with you. I have no choice…”

Shen Qingyue said, “I will handle his side.”

After a long silence, Wang Ping lowered his head. “I will cooperate with you, and I will repay the money to your company…”

Shen Qingyue smiled. “That’s a wise choice.”
