Wrong?
What did he get wrong?
Seeing his bewildered expression, Zhou Chi decided not to keep him in suspense any longer. “1 am not Mr. Wan. She is.” He raised his hand and pointed to the calm woman sipping tea beside him.
Yi Hong felt like he must have left his brain at home today; otherwise, why couldn’t he understand a single word? They were speaking plain language, not some alien dialect!
Zhang Cheng had stars circling over his head, and his exaggerated gulp was comical.
“All Cheng, did you understand? I’m a bit confused. Could you explain?”
“Mr. Yi, I’m not much better off.”
Zhou Chi stifled a laugh. These two grown men were acting as if they were characters in a cartoon.
Shen Wan placed her teacup down, and the porcelain base made a muffled sound as it hit the wooden table. “Mr. Yi seems quite surprised.”
“Which one of you is Mr. Wan?”
“I am,” Shen Wan replied.
“She is,” Zhou Chi added.
“But… you’re a woman,” Yi Hong said, his face filled with confusion.
“Did I ever say I was a man on the phone?”
“Well, no… but ‘Mr.’ is a title typically used for men, right?”
Shen Wan chuckled softly. “It’s just a form of address. Does it matter that much?”
After a moment, Yi Hong finally fully accepted the fact that “Mr. Wan” was a woman and a young one at that.
“Miss Wan… Last night on the phone…”
“I’m surnamed Shen, and my given name is Wan. Speaking of which, Mr. Yi is older, so just calling me by my name is fine.”
“Shen?”
Yi Hong was momentarily surprised.
Shen Wan seemed to see through his skepticism, nodded, and openly admitted, “My brother is Shen Qian, and you’ve had dealings with him before.”
“Then you…”
“I have a different mother from him.”
Now, Yi Hong understood. He couldn’t escape the realm of family feuds between powerful households. However, this young girl managed to contact him, created so much trouble, and caused significant losses for Shen Qian. Her courage was truly remarkable.
Yi Hong recalled the purpose of his visit and pulled out a check from his coat pocket, sliding it in front of Shen Wan. “A small token of appreciation, consider it a thank-you gift for your assistance. Although it’s considered vulgar to talk about money, sometimes there’s merit in adhering to tradition.”
Shen Wan didn’t accept the check, quietly watching him.
“Please don’t get me wrong. 1 swear, I’m not attempting to settle a debt. I simply want to show my appreciation. Acts of kindness should be reciprocated like a flowing stream. If it weren’t for your discreet help in the bidding process and the Langhun Villa project, 1 might have gone bankrupt by now, left with nothing.”
“Mr. Yi, you exaggerate.”
“No, I’m speaking the truth,” Yi Hong sighed deeply. “Regardless, please accept this money!”
Using “please” and showing respect regardless of Shen Wan’s young age.
His attitude was genuinely sincere.
Shen Wan smiled but pushed the check back towards him without looking at how many zeros it had.
“If you find it inadequate, I…” Yi Hong, fearing her rejection, was ready to increase the amount, almost naively straightforward.
He genuinely wanted to show his gratitude.
“It’s not a matter of more or less.” Shen Wan raised her hand to stop him. “It’s that I want something else from Mr. Yi.”
Yi Hong stopped, his actions coming to a standstill. He appeared truly earnest. “You name it! As long as it doesn’t involve taking my wife or son away, I’m on board!”
“Oh?” Shen Wan raised an eyebrow. “Even if I want to acquire half of Hengyi’s shares from you?”
Zhang Cheng’s face changed dramatically.
However, Yi Hong remained calm. He lowered his head in thought, as if genuinely considering this excessive request. After a moment, he nodded with great seriousness. “Alright, I’ll have the lawyer draft a share transfer agreement immediately!”
Now, the one left stunned was Shen Wan..
