Master Duan’s Beloved Wife: A Lovely Spendthrift - Chapter 10

He Yueyu wiped her confounded face and spluttered, “She lied! They threw me out of the gate of your bank like garbage.”

“Is that true? Secretary Jin.” Duan Weiqi majestically asked the woman standing beside him.

The woman became apprehensive, “I’m sorry, Mr. Duan. She was extremely arrogant, so I could not but follow the rules of the company.”

“I was arrogant?” He Yueyu dramatically pointed to her nose with little black spots, “Are you serious? You regarded my kindliness as arrogance?”

“As a staff member of Jinfeng Bank, I thought it was my obligation and responsibility to deter any suspicious person from entering freely. Besides, you never showed your identity.”

Looking at He Yueyu, secretary Jin raised her chin in disdain, “Now, Miss, could you please tell me your relationship with our chief executive?”

The way Jin questioned her made He Yueyu unhappy. The possessive look in Jin’s eyes when Jin looked at Duan Weiqi made He Yueyu more uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, He Yueyu answered truthfully. Then she captured a scornful look on Jin’s face almost at the same time.

Who on earth was the woman? Why did she speak viciously? She obviously revealed a strong possessive look in her eyes when she looked at Duan Weiqi.

Was it possible that…

“Mr. Duan, did you hire a household maid?” Jin’s expression turned to be a little unnatural.

Duan Weiqi gave a wintry smile, “I don’t think my household chores has anything to do with you.”

Satirized by Duan Weiqi, Jin felt ashamed, but still did her best to give a prideful smile, “I certainly do not dare to interfere with your household chores. But your maid entered the air vent in an imposing manner, which was supposed to be explained to the company’s shareholders and the police”

“Well, I came here to…”

The rest words of He Yueyu were stopped by the terribly angry look on Duan Weiqi’s face.

“If I remember correctly, the last name of the owner of the bank is Duan, not Jin. I understand what you did was for security reasons, but I can promise you that this girl can’t go so far as to impair the inner security of the bank.”

Duan Weiqi looked horrible now. He Yueyu never saw he lost his temper at least since the day she met him.

Gingerly shrinking the neck, He Yueyu lightly pulled Duan Weiqi’s sleeve and took the memory card out of her bag.

“This was… found on the floor in your study, near one of the desk legs. I guessed… you probably needed it.”

After lowering his eyes and glancing at the small memory card, he was visibly moved all of a sudden.

He instinctively drew out a hanky to gently wipe her dusty face, which stunned the surrounding staff.

“You needed not to crawl in the air vent even you wanted to give me the memory card.” While wiping her little face, he reprimanded her in a lower voice, with a tone totally different from what he just used.

At the moment of receiving her call for help, he clearly sensed his heartbeat accelerated due to worry. He thought she was kidnapped for ransom in his house.

He did not really feel relieved until she safely appeared in front of him.

Meanwhile, he was also confused that, as a proud and aloof person, he unexpectedly cared about a little girl so much…

“I was, of course, willing to come and meet you from the front gate, but you would not imagine how dutiful the security staff were. I just mentioned your name, they ruthlessly kicked me out, and wow…, oh, my God.”

He Yueyu felt being held up. Next, Duan Weiqi carried her in his arms and walked away, telling his subordinates and the security staff.

“From now on, she can freely get in and out of our bank without any permission.”

Then, he took her to his office, ignoring the surprise of He Yueyu, incredible looks of the staff and the visible jealousy from the beauty in glasses.

Duan Weiqi gently put He Yueyu on the sofa. He sat beside her, softly gazing at her dusty face, “Did you get injured? Where does it hurt?”

Thinking of the fear of confronting that big mice in the air vent a few minutes ago, she felt aggrieved, with the eyes turning red immediately. She curled her lips, pointing her knees with a finger in a spoiled manner, “The knees are really painful. I crawled for a long time…”

Duan Weiqi lifted her long dress, unintentionally frowned when seeing the red and swollen parts on her knees. Then he stood up, walked to the desk, and made an internal call.

“Special assistant Feng, buy some cooling ointments for eliminating redness and swelling from a drugstore!” After giving the order, he put down the phone and went back to sofa.

Duan Weiqi placed the white, thin and smooth legs of He Yueyu on his thigh, gently kneading her red and swollen knees. He said in heartache, “Why not call me earlier? You really deserved that.”

“You were so horrible this morning. Did you remember that you forbade me from entering your study without your permission? I just wanted to prove…”

At the moment, the tap-tap interrupted her. The manager of Investment Department of Jinfeng Group came into the office, wondering if he should come later when seeing He Yueyu.

Duan Weiqi gave him a hint with his eyes, “What’s the matter? Just spit it out.”

“Uh… chief executive, here is the thing…”

The manager walked to Duan Weiqi reverently, and handed in a document, “This is the comparative information of Jiabao Industry and Chen Clan Company. We are expecting you to check it and decide which stock should be bought.”

Duan Weiqi took the document, glancing at it unconcernedly, “Which stock do you think is better?”

“In consideration of the high volatility of the stock, we’d better choose Chen Clan Company…”

He Yueyu’s voice rose suddenly when Duan Weiqi was pondering this issue, “Actually, I think Jiabao Industry deserves more investment than the other.”

Her words drew Duan Weiqi’s sidelong glance, “Eh, Jiabao Industry?”

Giving the manager a hint to leave by raising his hand, he frowned, then turned around to sit beside He Yueyue, crossing his long legs, “If my memory doesn’t go wrong, some time ago, there were several consumers complaining that cosmetics produced by Jiabao Industry caused side effects to them. It was reported in newspapers every day that this company was about to go bankrupt. The stock of the company also keeps falling this month. Why did you say that the stock of this company would rise?”

Tilting her head, He Yueyu squinted at him, “Please think it over. Jiabao Industry basically could be regarded as a good cosmetic R&D company. Negative news reported by the media are fake news revealed by the company itself!”

Duan Weiqi frowned, “How do you figure out those news are false?”

He suddenly became curious about her. In fact, the Information Department of Jinfeng Company had obtained this information with a lot of efforts a few days ago.

“I used that skin care product complained by the consumers, which worked well and had no negative effect at all. I still use it now. My friends are also the loyal users of this product, and all of them made good comments on it. That false information only could be used to deceive those brainless investors.”

She added while pondering, “Jiabao Industry has been secretly developing a new skin care product. As long as this product is launched in the market, the company will have promising prospects. Then the stock price of the Jiabao Company certainly will sharply rise.”

“Wow?” He raised his eyebrows again, “How do you get to know they have been secretly developing the new skin care product?”

“Constantly developing new products is what every company should do. Jiabao Industry performed very actively in this aspect, which always arranged special investigators to call every consumer for detailed market survey on moisturizers. But it delayed launching new products. Not only that, but it suddenly changed this active way of investigation to TV advertising played in prime time in recent months. Doesn’t it indicate Jiabao Industry is going to take a big action?”

She said more and more clearly and logically, looking like a professional analyst.
