Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Unspoken Rules
However, given that the He Family was not particularly flourishing, he still became indispensable after displaying his talents. For the past few years, he had been in country S, overseeing the business in the Southeast Asia, yet the power he wielded was far from comparable to that of He Jingyao.
There was no doubt that He Jingyao would be the heir to HI, and he, He Yizheng, would probably continue as he had been, assisting He Jingyao and receiving a modest, inconsequential share of the profits.
How could He Yizheng tolerate this?
But He Jingyao had one significant weakness, his inability to interact with women, which was his greatest disadvantage, and also something He Yizheng could exploit.
Xia Xinyu was a pawn he had put into play, but unfortunately, an unexpected event had disrupted this move.
As He Yizheng stroked Xia Xinyu’s waist, he suddenly smiled, “It’s indeed unlikely to change Liu Minjun’s mind, but her sense of guilt towards you might not be impossible to make use of.”
Xia Xinyu looked at him with admiration.
He Yizheng, gazing at the woman before him, said with an extremely tender smile, “You certainly have a way to deepen that sense of guilt.”
At first, Xia Xinyu didn’t understand, but upon catching the dark depth in the man’s eyes, she realized all at once.
Then, her face turned deathly pale!
Su Zixi returned to school with a blank check and was unanimously praised by her teammates.
Shen Yushan, who lacked decency, jumped up excitedly, “Since HI Corporation is so generous! Let’s fill it with seven million! One million for each person!”
Gao Changsheng rolled his eyes, “Vice-captain, have some decency, will you? I wouldn’t be as shameless as you!”
Shen Yushan glared at him, “Then how much do you think is appropriate?”
“Three hundred and fifty thousand, fifty thousand per person should be about right,” Gao Changsheng suggested tactfully.
The group promptly pushed Gao Changsheng aside, their faces full of disdain.
Su Zixi thought for a moment, “Actually, our creative work isn’t worth much, but since they’ve given us a blank check, if we fill in too little, it might seem petty. I think fifty thousand per person is reasonable, how about that?”
The others nodded vigorously! One million each was clearly a joke. Fifty thousand was an amount sufficient to excite them without feeling undue guilt.
Thus, under the eager eyes of her teammates, Su Zixi carefully filled in the amount of three hundred thousand.
“Eh? Why is it fifty thousand short?” Shen Yushan exclaimed.
Su Zixi smiled, “I’ll pass on it!”
“How can that be?” Shen Yushan disagreed, “You’re the captain, and you’ve contributed the most, how can you not take it?”
The others also nodded in agreement.
“HI Corporation wants me to continue with the project, and if it succeeds, the bonus they’ll give me won’t be small. I’m thinking long-term,” Su Zixi said with a flourish, handing the check to Shen Yushan, “Take it, cash it, and then let’s split it among ourselves.”
Su Zixi didn’t take the money primarily because… she felt that the help she had already received from Young Master He was plenty, and taking this money would make her feel somewhat guilty.
Moreover, she knew that He Jingyao’s willingness to buy their design probably had little to do with the design itself, she thought, blushing.
Shen Yushan, hearing her say this, did not stand on ceremony and treasured the check dearly.
At that moment, a team member, Xiaojing, suddenly shouted with her phone in hand, “Hey, the news just broke out that Director Chen Xudong’s new film is suspected of dangerous undercover deals, some newcomer went to seek favors from an investor, and photos were taken!”
