My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 58: Exposing The Fraud

“Sorry, sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.” Ye Xiong wiped off the saliva off his lips and acted anxiously.

“I was so excited when I heard Mr. Bouzef is visiting us that I didn’t sleep the entire night and I might have caught the flu. Come, let’s wipe it off now, it’d be troublesome if you’re infected because of me.”

Bouzef took out a napkin and wiped off the saliva off his face disgustingly. He wanted to release some steam but after some consideration that he would be able to scam a few million bucks of cash, he decided to hold back.

“Let’s be going on our way.” Bouzef acted impatiently as he told Yang Xinyi. “We’ve got a flight to catch tonight and we’ve to inspect another company tomorrow. I’m afraid we don’t have much time left.”

Yang Xinyi stared at Ye Xiong and said angrily, “Go and drive the car over now.”

Ye Xiong smiled as he headed towards the driver’s seat. Through that sneeze as a test earlier, he was more certain that Bouzef was just a business fraudster.

It looked like he had another thing to do that day!

Ye Xiong’s lips arched up cunningly. He found it nice to work in Xinyi Group as he had encountered a scammer on his very first day of work.

They soon arrived at Xinyi Group. Bouzef and his bodyguards took a tour around the company before heading towards Xinyi Group’s main subsidiaries and their stores.

For that half of the day, Ye Xiong had a better understanding of his wife’s company.

He would not know unless he was told otherwise. His wife was actually rich.

The subsidiaries were involved in real estate, catering, hardware, fast-consuming goods, and so on. Their funds were massive and the main business they would be venturing in together with China Media United Business Group was the hardware industry.

As of late, the local hardware industry was rather plain and boring and Xinyi Group’s hardware department had reached a bottleneck. They were earning too little as compared to the other companies. In fact, they had been at a loss.

This was the main reason why Yang Xinyi was very interested in this opportunity.

If she were able to get this order, it was possible that the company’s hardware department would earn a profit instead and reach the same growth rate as the other industries.

They returned to the company at three in the afternoon and started their negotiation.

“Ye Xiong, feel free to leave for now.”

Since the negotiation involved private and confidential information, Yang Xinyi had no choice but to shoo Ye Xiong out.

“Hank, Maki, you guys get out as well!” Bouzef waved his hand.

The two bodyguards left, but Ye Xiong did not. He just sat there and gave Bouzef a creepy smile.

Bouzef was incredibly unhappy when Yang Xinyi introduced Ye Xiong as her driver when they first met each other. At first, Bouzef believed that Ye Xiong was someone very close to Yang Xinyi or that he was a very important figure in the company. That was why Bouzef did not seek the matter further. If he knew that Ye Xiong was the driver from the get-go, he would have exploded and slapped Ye Xiong in the face.

Bouzef was incredibly unhappy now that Ye Xiong seemed to be giving him the eyes.

“President Yang, so this is the quality of your staff. Where did he spring out from, does he know any manners at all?”

“Ye Xiong, I’m telling you to get out now. Do you hear me?” Yang Xinyi’s anger was billowing when she saw Ye Xiong still sitting there.

Ye Xiong felt that he should give his wife a good lesson, seeing how useless his wife was. This was to prevent her from encountering a scammer again and did not know what to do.

“Mr. Bouzef, we’ve walked around for the entire day, I wonder if you’ve got an opinion on our company,” Ye Xiong asked out of the blue.

Bouzef acted angrily and said, “If I’ve got an opinion about the company, I’ll inform Ms. Yang Xinyi here instead of you. Get out now or I’ll not sign the agreement with your company.”

“Ye Xiong, get out now. Do you hear me? I’m going to be angry if you don’t.” Yang Xinyi stared angrily at him.

It was as if Ye Xiong did not notice Yang Xinyi’s gaze. He walked towards Bouzef and snatched the notebook in his hand. He glanced through it before slapping it right onto Bouzef’s head.

Not only did he scare Yang Xinyi to her death, but even Bouzef was stunned as well.

“President Yang had been introducing the company to you for the entire day and you seemed to be jotting down the things she said. I thought you’ve gotten some main points out of it but it seems that you’ve been secretly drawing our President instead. You’re free to draw her however you wish. President Yang is a beautiful flower, but your drawing is simply subpar.”

Ye Xiong threw the book onto the table, revealing a drawing of a woman. It was none other than Yang Xinyi.

Yang Xinyi was rather unhappy. She had been introducing the company to him with all of her might and thought that Bouzef was taking down notes and preparing to negotiate with her when they returned. Who would have thought that he was secretly drawing her instead?

Bouzef was flustered. His face turned red as he was caught red-handed.

Other than scamming others, this man had another hobby as well. That was to draw a portrait of a beautiful woman.

He had been drawn to Yang Xinyi’s eastern beauty the instant they met and was secretly drawing pictures of her during their entire journey while acting as if he was taking notes. Who would have thought that he would be exposed just like that?

“President Yang is the most beautiful eastern woman I’ve ever seen in my life. I can’t help it, she’s beautiful and capable.” Bouzef tried to talk his way out.

Slap slap slap!

Ye Xiong grabbed the book on the table and hit Bouzef three times. He said angrily, “Why would China Media United Business Group send such a useless man like you here. The company has hired you to find a business partner, not to flirt with chicks. How are you going to report back to the company if you don’t take down any notes?”

Bouzef already had a guilty conscience to begin with. Now, the feeling intensified the instant Ye Xiong kept questioning him. Bouzef tried to explain hastily, “I’ve already known your esteemed company’s situation beforehand. I’m confident very…” 1

“You mean very confident… Where did you learn your Chinese?” Ye Xiong scolded.

“Yes yes, very confident. I can compile the documents slowly when I head back later.” Bouzef explained hastily.

“Let me ask you this then. Xinyi Group has a factory. What hardware do they primarily produce?” Ye Xiong questioned further.

“Uhm, scissors, beauty set, oven, kitchenware…”

“Bullsh*t, since when did we produce kitchenware?”

“Ah, kitchenware is another company. I’ve messed up,” Bouzef responded anxiously.

“Not only does our company produce kitchenware, but it’s the most important section as well.” Ye Xiong smiled as he continued.

No matter how stupid Yang Xinyi was, she could tell that this man was not here to talk about business. He was here to scam her.

The smile on her face disappeared. In fact, her face was frosting up as she asked coldly, “Mr. Bouzef, I think you owe me an explanation.”

“I believe both parties need to be committed when it comes to businesses. If Yang Xinyi has no intention of working together, I don’t have any reason to stay here anymore.” Bouzef stood up when he finished talking.

He walked towards the door and just as he was about to pull it, a hand grabbed hold onto the handle.

Ye Xiong blocked him in front of the door and let out a mischievous smile. “Mr. Bouzef, what’s the rush? I’m a close friend to your good friend Mr. Duruk. He had the opportunity to enjoy jail food for free in this country because of me. Do you not want me to help you with getting the same treatment here as well?”

Mr. Bouzef’s expression changed greatly when he heard Ye Xiong’s words.
