Chapter 70 My Older Sister! (Please Subscribe)

When the chilled beer and a plate of oily, fragrant peanuts were brought into the private room, Zhao Xiaohui didn't hesitate at all.

Before Meng Jie could even make a move, she deftly opened the bottle cap, and two crisp sounds of prying the bottle rang out one after the other.

"Bang—bang"

She picked up one of the beer bottles and handed it to Meng Jie, her fingers firmly gripping the bottle without letting go. She looked up at the man opposite her and asked softly, "You'd better tell me honestly, how many girls have you been driving this car?"

"Sister Xiaohui, please don't wrong me."

Meng Jie immediately put on a wronged expression: "Little brother, although I'm not a good person, I'm not a bad person either. You're the only woman who's ever sat in my passenger seat!"

"wrong!"

"No one has ever sat in it before!"

Meng Jie reached out and grabbed the bottom half of the beer bottle, then jokingly defused the situation: "Could it be that Sister Xiao Hui is thinking of backing out at this crucial moment and is reluctant to treat her brother to a drink?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui slowly loosened her grip on the wine bottle, a faint smile playing on her lips: "I'm not that stingy, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Thank you very much, Sister Xiaohui."

Meng Jie chuckled softly, took the wine bottle, and filled the glass in front of him: "I'll toast you."

Zhao Xiaohui gently touched her wine glass.

The liquor is refreshingly cool as it goes down your throat.

Before long, the two of them started talking non-stop.

The newly acquainted siblings shed their barriers and inhibitions, and their conversations became increasingly in-depth and private.

One person held the thought, "It's okay to let a dog bite me once."

The other thought was, "Whether there are dates or not, it's worth a shot; they're delicious and inexpensive!"

This was truly a case of mutual affection; they hit it off immediately.

As night deepened, the two unknowingly drank nearly two cases of beer.

When the alcohol first entered her stomach, she felt refreshed and unaffected, but the aftereffects slowly surged up, causing Zhao Xiaohui's cheeks to flush, her eyes to become hazy, and her whole body to exude a light, intoxicated feeling.

Meng Jie reached out and steadily supported the woman who was unsteady on her feet, and slowly walked out of the smoky food stall.

Zhao Xiaohui swayed slightly, raised her hand and casually pointed in a direction, her voice a little muffled: "This way—my house is this way."

"Sister Xiaohui, I'll take you upstairs and settle you in before I go back." Meng Jie deliberately softened his tone and restrained his movements.

"Anything is fine."

Zhao Xiaohui chuckled softly, slightly drunk, "You can go back later."

Supporting her all the way, though she staggered, they finally got Zhao Xiaohui home.

The room was bathed in soft, warm orange light, creating a slightly ambiguous atmosphere. Meng Jie felt a bit disgusted looking at the other person, who reeked of alcohol.

This meat smells a bit bad, I can't bring myself to eat it!

After a brief moment of thought, he said, "Sister Xiaohui, you should get some rest. I'll head back now."

Then, completely ignoring the woman leaning against the sofa, he turned and was about to leave.

Zhao Xiaohui, who had been half-leaning on the sofa feigning drunkenness, froze instantly. She sat up straight, the drunkenness in her eyes mostly gone, and asked in surprise, "You're leaving?"

Meng Jie turned around, smiling calmly: "It's getting late, what are we doing here instead of leaving?"

"I have spare rooms in my house."

A hint of embarrassment and discomfort flashed across Zhao Xiaohui's face as she added in a low voice, "It's not good for you to drive after drinking. Let's go tomorrow."

As she spoke, she leaned on the sofa and struggled to get up, intending to tidy up the guest room.

Seeing her swaying and unsteady, Meng Jie quickly stepped forward to support her: "Sister Xiaohui, can you still move like this?"

Zhao Xiaohui glanced at the man: "What do you mean?"

Meng Jie leaned down slightly, his words becoming more direct: "Are you still able to take a shower?"

In an instant, a surge of embarrassment and anger mixed with grievance welled up in Zhao Xiaohui's heart: "Were you just now—were you disgusted with me?"

"Absolutely not."

Meng Jie quickly shook his head in denial: "How could I possibly dislike Sister Xiao Hui?"

"snort."

Zhao Xiaohui, seething with anger, raised her hand and pushed hard against Meng Jie's chest, her eyes reddening, and snapped defiantly, "Go away! Go now!"

She has a delicate appearance and a slender, well-proportioned figure, and is never short of admiration and pursuit from the opposite sex.

I had already let go of all my worries and was ready to let loose.

I wanted the dog to bite me, but it rejected me instead.

This is truly—

An endless sense of humiliation filled her heart. Zhao Xiaohui's pushing force was not weak at all, and she showed no signs of being weak from being drunk.

Seeing this, Meng Jie immediately reached out and pulled the woman into a tight embrace, gently soothing her, "Alright, alright, I was wrong to say that, Sister Xiaohui, don't be angry."

Held tightly in the man's arms, all her pretense crumbled. Zhao Xiaohui's eyes reddened, and she clenched her small fists, gently punching his chest. Her voice choked with sobs as she questioned, "Why do you despise me?"

"Ugh."

Meng Jie sighed softly, his tone tinged with melancholy and deep affection: "Sister Xiao Hui, I have never looked down on you."

Zhao Xiaohui looked up at the man and questioned, "If you didn't dislike me, why did you leave just now?"

"I'm a scumbag; I fall in love with every girl I meet."

Looking into the woman's eyes, Meng Jie said with deep affection, "You are a good woman, and I don't want to hurt you because of a moment of impulse."

Zhao Xiaohui pursed her lips slightly: "You really think so?"

"You said I slept with you, what are we going to do if we see each other at work later?"

Meng Jie nodded firmly: "I'll never get married in my life. Are you willing to let me sleep with you for nothing for the rest of my life?"

When the company was mentioned, Zhao Xiaohui couldn't help but ask, "Are you trying to get back at Qin Man?"

"right."

Meng Jie no longer hid anything: "I just want to get back at Qin Man!"

He carried the woman to the sofa and sat her down. He took out a cigarette and lit it. "I know a bit about YuChuang Technology. I've actually seen that they haven't distributed dividends for two years."

"If Qin Man, the major shareholder, never pays dividends, what's the use of my 20% stake?"

"It's no different from waste paper; no one would want it even if it were given away for free!"

Zhao Xiaohui leaned gently on the man's shoulder, confiding with helplessness, "Last year I went to her to ask for my share of the profits, but she made an excuse that all the funds had been invested in purchasing new equipment, and there was only a small amount of money left in the account, which she needed to set aside to pay employee salaries and settle outstanding payments with suppliers. She just brushed me off."

Meng Jie smiled and grabbed the woman's hand: "Were you angry back then?"

What do you think?

Zhao Xiaohui said dejectedly, "But what can I, a small shareholder, do?"

"Turn money into the company's fixed assets and then profit from it."

Meng Jie smiled and shook his head: "Qin Man's methods may not be sophisticated, but they are indeed effective."

"I can't beat her."

Zhao Xiaohui sighed softly, "I left the company management more than a year ago and opened this coffee shop here."

"Since you've come, I'm thinking of returning to the company to see if there are any opportunities."

"As you can see, they assigned me a human resources director position that's all talk and no action. I'm so angry I don't even want to go to work today."

Meng Jie raised his hand and gently pinched her chin, his gaze deep as he looked into her slightly evasive eyes. He slowly said, "What do you think about me firing her and making you the CFO?"

Zhao Xiaohui's eyes flickered slightly: "I'll be the CFO?"

"The CFO has much more real power than the HR director."

Meng Jie smiled and promised, "From now on, all the company's money will pass through your hands. Let's work together to make the company bigger and stronger!"

Undeterred by greed, Zhao Xiaohui countered, "Qin Man is the major shareholder with absolute control of the company. How do you plan to bring her down?"

Meng Jie didn't rush to answer, but instead revealed a secret that the woman didn't know.

"You don't know yet, do you?"

"Today, Qin Man agreed to give Zhang Xingyu 12 percent of the shares."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaohui's expression changed: "Who will pay for the extra two percent?"

"My 20% is definitely not going to change."

Meng Jie smiled faintly: "Who do you think will pay for the extra two percent of shares Zhang Xingyu has?"

He reached out and pulled the woman into a tight embrace, whispering with a chuckle in her ear, "It's definitely whoever's easy to bully—they'll pay!"

Zhao Xiaohui's anger surged, her brows furrowed with indignation: "Qin Man is so mean and selfish, she's really gone too far!"

Meng Jie silently stubbed out his cigarette, and the next moment, he suddenly bent down and picked up Zhao Xiaohui from beside him.

Suddenly lifted into the air, Zhao Xiaohui was startled. Instinctively, she raised her arms and tightly wrapped them around his neck. Her heart pounded, and she hurriedly whispered, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

"What are you doing?"

Meng Jie lowered his head, his thin lips close to her ear, his voice deep and magnetic, tinged with an ambiguous smile, and slowly said, "What do you think I'm going to do?"

"I already told you, my brother is a rough fellow—"

"Sister-in-law!"

Inside the bathroom, warm steam rose and fell, and fine streams of water cascaded down, their gentle murmur blending into the warm air, creating layers of ambiguous atmosphere.

"Meng—Meng Jie, wait a minute!"

The moisture dampened her breath, and Zhao Xiaohui's remaining rationality was tug at her heartstrings. "Sister still has something to tell you!"

"Stop talking, we'll talk about it later!"

This wait lasted for more than half an hour.

The bedroom was bathed in soft, languid light. Meng Jie leaned against the headboard, gently holding the woman in his arms.

His fingertips traced her delicate skin as he looked down at Zhao Xiaohui, whose breathing was gradually stabilizing. He chuckled and said, "Didn't you have something to say earlier? You can say it now."

-

Zhao Xiaohui glared at the man, a hint of annoyance in her eyes, and raised her hand to lightly scratch him, her posture full of bravado: "What's there to say now? I don't want to talk anymore!"

Meng Jie tightened his arms around her, pulling her close, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Fine, I won't talk then. Why are you touching me like that?"

Unable to break free from his grasp after several struggles, Zhao Xiaohui could only slow her movements, raise her eyes to gaze at him, and softly ask, "So tell me, what is our relationship now?"

"It's very simple."

Meng Jie smiled slightly, his tone playful: "A rather deep friendship."

Hearing the man's words, Zhao Xiaohui was instantly furious. Her fingertips began to scratch at him again and again: "Say it again, and answer me seriously!"

"Alright! Alright!"

Meng Jie laughed and coaxed, "I'll say it again."

Meeting the woman's somewhat expectant gaze, he feigned seriousness: "We are very close friends!"

"you----"

"You're a scoundrel!"

Having been tricked again, Zhao Xiaohui was furious: "I really want to chop you to pieces!"

"It's neither this nor that."

Meng Jie smiled and countered, "Then tell me, what is our relationship?"

Zhao Xiaohui paused for a moment, then her tone became serious and vulnerable: "I'm not a promiscuous woman—"

"I said it from the beginning—"

When a woman tries to play the sentimental card, Meng Jie immediately interrupts: "You're a good woman, but I'm a scumbag who falls in love with every woman I meet!"

""

Zhao Xiaohui remained silent for a moment, then asked, "So, how do you plan to handle our relationship?"

"I just said I was leaving, but you insist on making me stay."

Meng Jie was not going to make any promises, so he simply resigned himself to his fate: "Now look what's happened, you want me to take responsibility again!"

Zhao Xiaohui sighed and conceded, "I don't want you to take responsibility, but you still have to give me an explanation, right?"

"My confession is—"

Meng Jie gently stroked her delicate back with his palm, his tone calm yet incredibly seductive: "I'll bring Qin Man down and drive her off, then I'll give you millions in shareholder dividends every year, so you can live a carefree life for the rest of your days!"

"Millions in shareholder dividends?"

Zhao Xiaohui's eyes flickered: "We haven't finished talking yet. How exactly do you plan to get Qin Man out of here?"

"How I get rid of her is none of your concern."

Meng Jie lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his smile confident and composed: "All you need to do is stand by my side and support me silently at the most crucial moments."

Zhao Xiaohui suddenly realized: "You've won over Zhang Xingyu too?"

"not yet."

Meng Jie shook his head in denial: "But I have a way to get her to support me."

Zhao Xiaohui smiled and said, "The same as me?"

"no."

Meng Jie didn't reveal a word: "She's a very cold person, she doesn't even look at me."

"It's just that I happened to be able to exploit her weakness."

"Everyone in this world has desires, and no one can escape the pursuit of profit."

"She's the same way; nobody thinks having too much money is a burden."

Zhao Xiaohui frowned and pointed out the most fatal flaw: "The shares you and Zhang Xingyu hold are just contracts and agreements on paper."

Qin Man holds absolute control; this nominal shareholding alone cannot shake her position.

Meng Jie smiled faintly: "Contractual equity is still equity. If anyone says it's not acceptable, then sue me!"

"I can afford to wait a year, two years, three years!"

"I'm afraid that by then, YuChuang Technology will have changed its name to XiaoHui Technology!"

"Xiaohui Technology?"

Zhao Xiaohui rolled her eyes: "All you do is make empty promises and try to make me happy."

"Sister Xiaohui."

Meng Jie smiled and comforted the woman: "As the saying goes, it takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat ride and a hundred years to share a pillow."

"The fact that we can sleep in this bed today is a blessing we've earned over a hundred years."

"Given this connection, what's wrong with naming it Xiaohui Technology?"

"Oh"

Zhao Xiaohui was pleased with herself, but said, "With such a sweet tongue, I wonder how many girls you've charmed?"

Meng Jie suddenly stood up, gently put his arm around her, and made her sit in front of him. He looked deeply into her eyes and said seriously, "Sister Xiao Hui, I will never get married in this life. If you are willing, we can keep this relationship for life."

"I'm in my thirties."

Zhao Xiaohui remained calm, not believing the man's nonsense at all: "I don't have time to waste with a young man like you, wasting my time."

Meng Jie gazed at her and posed a question that struck right to the heart: "Were you happy just now?"

Zhao Xiaohui suddenly fell silent.

It was precisely because of the extreme indulgence and pleasure that she greedily wanted to maintain this sudden relationship for a long time, and that she hoped the man would give a response.

But who would have thought that Meng Jie, this cold-blooded and ruthless man, would turn his back on people before he even had a chance to pull up his pants?

This was the most shameless man she had ever seen in her thirty years of life!

If you don't answer, then I'm right.

Meng Jie hugged the woman and kissed her again: "From now on, we'll be there for each other whenever we need each other, and we'll make YuChuang Technology a great success so we can all get rich together."

"Qin Man has deep roots and ruthless methods; she won't be easy to deal with," Zhao Xiaohui whispered a reminder.

"She's difficult to deal with, but do you think I'm easy to deal with?"

Meng Jie raised an eyebrow and asked in return, then gently clapped his hands, and a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

"Slap!"

"Tell me quickly, am I easy to deal with?"

Zhao Xiaohui rolled her eyes, but finally relented: "I'll support you when you need it."

Meng Jie smiled and kissed her again: "Sister Xiao Hui, you're so kind."

Having completely let go of her inner turmoil, Zhao Xiaohui reached out and hugged the man tightly, a hint of allure in her eyes: "You're not allowed to slack off tonight. Don't even think about resting until you've made me completely satisfied."

Meng Jie immediately frowned: "Sister Xiao Hui, my back hurts!"

Zhao Xiaohui didn't care anymore: "Just lie down!"

Having successfully secured the support of Zhao Xiaohui, a key shareholder and former close friend of Qin Man, the situation was now largely under their control.

The next step is simply to gradually erode Qin Man's shareholding, reducing her controlling stake to below 50%.

-

Once the situation is settled and the people are united, Qin Man's power will become meaningless, with no means of checks and balances.

In business competition, there are never just the explicit rules; the key to breaking the deadlock lies in the loopholes within those rules.

As long as we proceed cautiously and leverage resources wisely, YuChuang Technology will eventually have to change its ownership to the Meng family.

I just hope that Qin Man will be sensible enough to make things look good for everyone.

Otherwise, the only thing we can do is help her save face!

As night deepened and all the noise subsided, Zhao Xiaohui was finally satisfied.

Having been single for five or six years, she has lived alone for many years, harboring a deep-seated loneliness and longing within her.

Last night, Meng Jie approached her step by step, breaking through her heart layer by layer. Since she didn't dislike him to begin with, she simply let go and allowed herself to do as she pleased this once.

Meng Jie has always been adept at manipulating mature women like Zhao Xiaohui, who appear dignified and self-possessed on the outside but harbor hidden desires within.

She may appear aloof and reserved, but she is actually burdened with worries. If you find her weakness and slowly open her heart, you can easily enter her heart.

Meng Jie's prior investigation had already revealed that Zhao Xiaohui and Qin Man, these two best friends, seemed to be on good terms, but in reality, they had harbored resentment for a long time. Their issues regarding equity dividends and power dynamics had already sown the seeds of countless conflicts.

The enemy of my enemy is my natural ally.

First, he recognized her as his god-sister to get closer to her. Coupled with his impressive strength as evidenced by his top-of-the-line luxury car, and his mature and steady demeanor and methods, he was enough to make Zhao Xiaohui, who had been single for a long time and was full of depression, unable to resist.

Countless women are attracted to high-quality men and have expectations of them, even if they know the future is uncertain, they can't help but fantasize.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

Meng Jie planned to go to the company later, deliberately avoiding the early arrival schedule of yesterday.

Being too proactive will only make Qin Man wary; a little relaxation and slackness will help lull her into a false sense of security.

Zhao Xiaohui slowly woke up, with no intention of getting out of bed. She lazily lay on him, her fingertips idly drawing circles.

As the old saying goes, "At thirty, one is like a wolf; at forty, one is like a tiger."

Meng Jie said helplessly, "Sister Xiao Hui, could you please let me off the hook?"

"Let you off the hook? No way!"

Zhao Xiaohui directly refused: "I already let you off the hook yesterday, do you think I'm going to let you off the hook again today?

'

After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft"

"Hahaha"

"After sleeping with you for one night, I feel much more energetic, and I even look younger."

She raised her hand to stroke her delicate, fair arm, her eyes smiling, and her tone light: "I feel that my complexion and skin texture are much better than before."

"nonsense."

Meng Jie feigned exhaustion: "He's not your own husband, so you don't know how to cherish me? You treat me like an animal!"

"Thank you for your hard work, little brother."

Zhao Xiaohui smiled and said with a hint of teasing, "I'll go to the market later to buy a free-range chicken and make you a nice nourishing soup."

Meng Jie suddenly became angry: "Kneel down properly for Dad!"
