Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

"I\'ve long admired you..."

Ye Ling hastily smiled and extended his hand towards Shen Yuexin.

I\'ve long admired my ass!

Before meeting Shen Yuexin, he knew about the Huamei Group, but where had he ever heard of the great name Shen Yuexin?

When Shen Yuexin saw Ye Ling reaching out, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, but still, she extended her snow-white, jade-like hand for a gentle shake.

Originally, Shen Yuexin had planned to shake hands briefly and let go.

Who knew that Ye Ling, this ***hole, would grasp Shen Yuexin\'s hand and not let go.

"President Shen might not recognize me, so let me introduce myself. I\'m Ye Ling, just a nobody."

Ye Ling held Shen Yuexin\'s hand in one of his while gently stroking her fair, jade-like hand with the other, flashing a smile with his bright white teeth.

"President Shen is on TV every day. Whenever I see you, I\'m instantly mesmerized, thinking how can someone so young become the president of the Huamei Group?"

"Seeing you today, I\'ve come to a realization: someone as stunning and beautiful as you, with such great... ahem, legs so long, it would be an outrage if you weren\'t the president of the Huamei Group!"

The more Shen Yuexin listened, the deeper her frown became.

Almost struggling, she finally managed to pull her hand away from Ye Ling\'s grasp.

"You\'re mistaken; I\'ve never been on TV," said Shen Yuexin, her voice cold.

Ye Ling was taken aback.

F***, I\'ve really overshot it this time!

Kissing up to the wrong leg!

Ye Ling had thought that someone as big-shot as Shen Yuexin would appear on TV if not every day, then at least every three or four days, right?

But it turned out that she never appeared on TV at all!

"Then what... Why do I feel like that beauty is indeed you?"

Ye Ling spoke as if it were truly the case, slapping his forehead and saying, "Ah, my mistake, no wonder I thought that beauty wasn\'t as pretty as you. It was Sister Chiling..."

Shen Yuexin: "..."

She had encountered many who had tried to chat her up, but it was the first time she had met someone as shameless as Ye Ling.

After thinking it over, Shen Yuexin took a stack of red bills from her purse and handed them to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling frowned, looking at the red bills: "What does this mean?"

"Compensation."

Shen Yuexin said, "You helped me catch the robber, and this is what I owe you for your help."

Ye Ling suddenly laughed.

"As expected of the CEO of a big corporation, always talking about money. Look, you\'d better keep your cash and spend it yourself. I, a little commoner, can\'t afford such luxury."

With that, Ye Ling walked away into the distance.

"Hey, why are you like this?"

Shen Yuexin\'s brows quickly furrowed, and she called out, "I didn\'t mean anything by it; I just feel you\'ve helped me, and this is money I owe you!"

Ye Ling stopped, turned around, and looked at Shen Yuexin without blinking.

Being stared at like this by Ye Ling made even the aloof Shen Yuexin\'s cheeks go a bit red.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Yuexin asked.

Ye Ling smiled slightly: "Do you believe me when I say, if you weren\'t a woman, and not a beautiful one at that, I would have slapped you twice by now?"

Shen Yuexin couldn\'t help but show confusion: "Why?"

"To put it without any bullsh*t, I help when I want to. If I don\'t want to help, it doesn\'t matter if you offer me 10,000, 1 million, or even 10 million, I wouldn\'t bat an eyelid."

Ye Ling snorted and was about to leave again.

Shen Yuexin was somewhat puzzled. How had she managed to offend this guy?

Actually, Shen Yuexin\'s ability to become the CEO of Huamei Group at her age was not only due to some people\'s covert support, but also greatly because of her own business talent.

In Shen Yuexin\'s heart, money wasn\'t everything, but money was definitely the most important thing.

Over the years, Shen Yuexin had always relied on money to get things done, from government officials to the underworld gangs; as long as she had money, everything was manageable.

This situation had always made Shen Yuexin feel that money could take care of any matter.

"Wait a minute!"

Shen Yuexin refused to believe it; she was determined to get an answer today.

Ye Ling didn\'t stop his steps, still walking ahead with hands clasped behind his head, indifferent to the world around him.

Shen Yuexin stomp her foot in anger, biting her lower lip lightly, and caught up with Ye Ling.

"I, Shen Yuexin, don\'t like owing favors. If you don\'t want money, then tell me, what do you want me to do to repay your favor?"

"What to do?"

Ye Ling gave Shen Yuexin a look and laughed, "If I ask you to kiss me, surely you wouldn\'t agree, right?"

Shen Yuexin immediately showed a look of mild anger, "Can\'t you speak properly?"

"It\'s not that you must repay the favor to me; it\'s that you, as the CEO of Huamei Group who can\'t be compared to anyone else, must know why I don\'t even consider you at all, right?" Ye Ling said.

Shen Yuexin was taken aback.

In fact, Ye Ling wasn\'t wrong.

Shen Yuexin, sitting in a high position, was constantly met with nods and bows from countless people, and had never seen anyone indifferent to her after learning of her identity.

"This isn\'t a good place to talk, is it?"

Ye Ling chuckled, "Just in time for dinner. How about, as a big CEO, you treat me to a meal?"

"Fine."

Shen Yuexin nodded and was about to make a phone call to book a private room in a hotel.

"No need."

Ye Ling waved his hand and said, "I know there\'s a good food stall nearby with really authentic spicy shrimp and mapo tofu. Let\'s go there instead."

"Food stall?"

Shen Yuexin frowned lightly, "Those places aren\'t very clean..."

"Eat without fear of getting dirty, no illness will follow," Ye Ling replied.

The two arrived at the food stall near the wholesale market.

It was rush hour, bustling with activity and looked extremely crowded.

Moreover, it was summer, and waves of sweat odor permeated the air, making Shen Yuexin feel nauseated even before eating.

"Not used to it?"

Ye Ling glanced at Shen Yuexin, entered the food stall, found a random spot to sit down, and shouted, "Boss, bring two bottles of chilled beer, a mapo tofu, a spicy shrimp, and two special dishes."

"Okay, coming right up!"

The chubby boss immediately responded with a smile.

Shen Yuexin walked into the food stall and just stood there opposite Ye Ling, looking really uncomfortable.

Ye Ling threw a few tissues over and said, "Wipe the stool down before you sit, don\'t get your shiny dress dirty."

At those words, Shen Yuexin didn\'t even bother to wipe and just plopped down.

"If it gets dirty, I\'ll just wash it!"

Ye Ling watched Shen Yuexin\'s huffy demeanor, and suddenly he thought that this high and mighty CEO was quite cute!
