"If you want me not to blame you, then you must promise me one thing," Jiang Xue said with utmost seriousness.

Xiao Ming nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I promise."

"A lifetime!"

Jiang Xue cupped his face with both hands, "Since you’ve promised to give me and our child a lifetime of happiness and peace, you can’t back out halfway.

No matter what happens, you can’t!"

Xiao Ming’s heart melted in an instant, he embraced his wife and said softly, "A lifetime? That’s not enough.

Let me tell you a secret, actually, this is already our second lifetime."

Tears welled up in Jiang Xue’s eyes, and she kissed him with all her might.

After a while, she lay comfortably in Xiao Ming’s arms and said faintly, "I knew there was a reason for your sudden change. So it was Mr. Bai’s doing.

This is a huge favor. Where is the old gentleman now? I need to prepare a grand gift to properly thank him."

"He’s in prison."

"Ah? Why?"

"The old guy is not really a good person; he’s an expert in all sorts of vices like drinking, whoring, and gambling. He offended someone untouchable and, fearing retaliation, he got himself into trouble on purpose and hid away in prison."

Jiang Xue’s mouth fell open in surprise, and after a moment, she shook her head and chuckled bitterly, "No wonder you met him at a gambling table, such an extraordinary person indeed acts in extraordinary ways."

"Hey, hey, hey, isn’t that a bit of a double standard? When I gambled, you not only beat me but also prepared to divorce me. How come it’s different for the old man?"

"Because you are the one I love!"

Xiao Ming clutched his chest, exaggerating his expression, "I can’t take it, just over two months without seeing each other, and my wife, your sweet-talking skills have improved!

If this keeps up, what am I going to use to sweet-talk you?"

"Admitting you were sweet-talking me, huh, you scoundrel!"

She bit her husband’s chest and then said, "But seriously, no matter where the old master is, we should go see him."

"Mm, we’ve already agreed to go tomorrow afternoon. The prison isn’t a clean place; you, being pregnant, should stay put. We’ll talk about it after you’ve given birth."

"Okay, then you have to thank him properly for me."

Then, Jiang Xue changed the topic abruptly, pinching the flesh on his arm, she said through gritted teeth, "Now, let’s talk about your affair with that little day-spy woman!"

Xiao Ming winced with pain, "Wife, I was drugged, I couldn’t control myself."

"Don’t try to fool me. You just said clearly that the drug only reduced self-control.

Your assault, including forcibly kissing Hanqing, shows that you had such thoughts in your heart. That’s why those true colors came out after you lost self-control!"

"I even hit my own head, you know, just took off the bandage last night."

"Hmph! If it weren’t for that hit, do you think I’d let you off just because you were choked? I would have cut off your tool of crime for wandering thoughts."

"Heh heh heh, you wouldn’t bear to. After all, once the little one is out, you’ll still want me to ’commit crimes’ on you!"

"Pah!"

She spat, then sighed deeply, "You were stabbed so many times today, bled so much, Yu and the others must have been so touched."

"Well, I think it would be better if you just cut off my ’tool of crime,’ then I wouldn’t always be on people’s minds."

"Just keep making excuses!"

Jiang Xue arched her body to bite his chin, then turned her back, "Sleep!"

The next morning, Xiao Ming came to the company, and his appearance in a wheelchair startled many employees; the receptionist even had red eyes, though it was unclear if it was genuine concern or an act.

"The redevelopment file for the old city’s shantytown has been approved, and the construction of the museum has also entered the design phase. Furthermore, with the new planning announced by the city last month, our piece of land has appreciated significantly."

Inside the meeting room, Cao Zhining reported the work with a face full of admiration.

"As a result, not only has Dabang’s stock price recovered, but it has even surpassed its value before the crash.

Investors all say this is all thanks to Mr. Xiao’s vision and insight, and their confidence in the company’s future has doubled."

"That’s right, Qianshan’s stock has also risen to its peak," Shen Siyi chimed in. "Many shareholders were unhappy with my taking over the company and Ruiye’s stakeholding, even threatening to pull out their investments.

But now, you wouldn’t believe it, my favorite part of meetings is asking them when they plan to withdraw their investments, as the company has plenty of money. Hahaha..."

Xiao Ming shook his head speechlessly, "You’ve been chairman for several months, how come you haven’t shed the frivolous habits of a playboy?

Remember, the relationship between shareholders and the company is like a couple that is together for appearance’s sake but estranged at heart; in the face of disaster, it’s guaranteed they’ll scatter, you can’t expect them to treat the company as their home like you do.

Of course, if anyone disrespects you, deal with them; don’t be too kind or soft-hearted.

Whether by spending money or playing dirty tricks, as long as it’s within the boundaries of the law, any method of dealing with the situation is fine. For the specifics, you can discuss it with Yu."

"Hmm, relax, Ming, I know what’s important," Shen Siyi nodded.

"What do you mean?" Yun Shi Yu tapped on the table, her eyes flashing coldly, "Do you think I’m heartless enough?"

Xiao Ming smiled wryly, "Stop it, you know that’s not what I meant."

"I don’t know."

"Sigh... I mean to say that Miss Yun, you are brilliant and talented, and insignificant jesters are but clay chickens and pottery dogs in your presence, vanishing into dust with a flick of your fingers.

If it weren’t for Siyi having just taken over the group, there would be no need for you to step in.

Does that satisfy you?"

Yun Shi Yu pursed her lips, staying silent with a serious expression, but the slightly upturned corners of her mouth betrayed the pleasure she felt at the moment.

Pinching his nose, Xiao Ming then looked towards Zhou Qingyuan and asked, "Any issues with the media company?"

"Yes," Zhou Qingyuan said, "our plan is to introduce Meng during the Spring Festival period. She is now getting accustomed to the recording studio, and the arrangement of the new song is nearly done, but it’s still not enough."

"Not enough? How so?" Xiao Ming asked in surprise, "Haven’t I already given you twelve songs? That’s enough for an album."

"We’re ten short."

"Ten..."

Xiao Ming realized Zhou Qingyuan wasn’t saying the company didn’t have enough new songs; she was saying the ten personal songs she wanted were still nowhere in sight.

It was clear she was jealous of Yun Shi Yu.

The board meeting couldn’t continue.

Bearing a headache, he cleared his throat and spoke, "Everything in the company is on track, and I am very satisfied. I hope everyone continues to strive, aiming to make me a billionaire with more than ten figures next year."

Cao Zhining and Shen Siyi laughed in a good-natured way, while Zhou Qingyuan, her request unmet, pouted and said, "That might be a bit difficult. Don’t forget, you’re just a chairman in name now, holding shares as a proxy."

"Speaking of that, let me inform everyone. Our major shareholder, Mr. Jiang Mukong, has already sent someone to the Cayman Islands to register a company.

After the New Year, the shares belonging to him will be entirely held by the new company, and I will still be the proxy."
