Mei Shu stopped and turned to look at her. “Take it. You deserve it after the trouble Mei Jing caused your brother and his friends.”
The girl insisted on returning the bank card. “No, sister, if it weren’t for you today, I would probably have to bear this loss alone. And Mei Jing, he just wanted to do the right thing. It’s not his fault. My brother handled the situation poorly. You should take the money back.”
Mei Shu’s eyes flickered as she fixed her gaze on the electronic screen next to the girl. She sighed deeply and said, “If you really feel guilty, consider it an investment from our Mei family in you. If you truly succeed in the future, you can repay me then.”
The girl hesitated, clutching the bank card tightly.
Mei Shu continued, “Don’t worry so much. I’m doing this willingly, and 1 truly believe in you. So, think of it as me nurturing talent. You don’t need to feel burdened.”
The girl pressed her lips together, hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly. “Okay, sister. When I earn money in the future, I will definitely repay you double.”
After saying this, she bowed deeply to Mei Shu.
Mei Shu smiled as the girl stubbornly completed this bow, then said, “See you next time,” and turned to leave.
Ye Yan quickly caught up with her, his eyes full of curiosity. “1 didn’t expect President Mei to be so kind-hearted. That’s a black card from the bank, with at least seven figures inside. Yet you just gave it away like that?”
Mei Shu gave him a sideways glance, smiled thinly, and said, “The Mei family is wealthy enough. We don’t lack that bit of pocket money.”
“Wow, President Mei, I find your personality more and more to my taste.” Ye Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, as if a hungry wolf had finally seen meat, eager to devour Mei Shu and make her his own.
But that was destined to be impossible.
Mei Shu ignored his words.
She pushed Mei Jing into the car, followed closely behind, and when Ye Yan tried to squeeze in, she slammed the door shut with a “bang” and then rolled down the window apologetically. “Sorry, President Ye, there’s no more space. Take care on your way, and maybe we’ll meet again.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll see each other again tomorrow.” Ye Yan deliberately curled his lips, feeling handsome as he said it, only to be fed a mouthful of exhaust fumes.
He wasn’t annoyed, still standing there with interest, hands in his pockets, until the car disappeared completely before he called the driver to come and pick him up.
Mei Shu thought Ye Yan would give up quickly, but she didn’t expect him to be as good as his word. The next day, she saw this smiling guy in the conference room.
Mei Shu frowned when she saw him.
Next to her, Tang Mei hurriedly introduced, “This is President Ye, who came with President Long from Longsheng Group to sign the agreement with us.”
After saying that, she whispered to Mei Shu, “The president of Longsheng Group is his mother’s brother…”
Mei Shu pulled out a chair and sat down, took the contract handed over by Tang Mei, and handed it to Long Ke. “The details we discussed with President Long before have been written into the new contract. Please have a look.”
“Okay.” Long Ke responded, about to take the contract, but unexpectedly, the pages that seemed light but carried billions of capital ended up in Ye Yan’s hands midway.
He looked at the clauses seriously, deliberately finding faults. “Uncle, such a large order requires caution. For example, this one.”
He pointed to a clause about profit sharing between Longsheng Group and Meishi Group. “It says here that Mei’s family gets seventy percent of the profit, while you only get thirty percent. This seems unfair.”
Mei Shu looked at him expressionlessly, wondering what tricks he was up to.
At his words, Long Ke explained hurriedly, “Our company only participated in the final part of this order, with President Mei’s family doing most of the work. President Mei has already been generous to give us thirty percent of the profit. It’s fair. Don’t cause trouble. Give me the contract quickly.”
But Ye Yan persisted, “Each order consists of several processes from procurement to completion, including purchasing, manufacturing, processing, packaging, and transportation. Longsheng Group is only responsible for providing packaging and some transportation for this batch of goods. In my opinion, Longsheng can only take twenty percent of the profit, which is fair.” “You!” Long Ke was infuriated, his beard trembling as he pointed at Ye Yan, almost bursting into a tirade, “Stop causing trouble! This is already agreed upon by President Mei and me! Give me the contract! Otherwise, I’ll strip your skin off when 1 get back!”
Ye Yan shrugged indifferently. “Uncle, why do you think President Mei is giving you such a high profit?”
At his words, Long Ke couldn’t help but hesitate, subconsciously looking at Mei Shu, who was smiling at them, feeling inexplicably guilty. “What else could it be? Our Longsheng Group has been doing business in this area for years. President Mei trusts us to be efficient and provide quality assurance!”
“All wrong.” Ye Yan looked at Mei Shu with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile..
