A master of both medicine and martial arts, he recruits a beautiful CEO to cultivate immortality tog

"Ye Heng," Su Yingxue said, getting straight to the point.

"I'm really curious now. Mr. Shi from Hongchang is a notorious deadbeat, a real scoundrel, with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. Our company's professional legal and debt collection teams have been there several times, but they couldn't even get through the door. How did you and Xia He... manage to do it?"

"Moreover, they brought back cash and gold bars. This is no ordinary way of repaying a loan."

Ye Heng revealed a smile that was almost one of helplessness and honesty.

"Actually, it wasn't that complicated. At first, I tried to reason with him, but he wasn't very receptive. So, I had to use a method he was more familiar with to have a deeper conversation with him."

"In-depth communication?" Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow.

"Well, Mr. Shi likes to use his fists, so I had no choice but to teach him a lesson. Not only did he immediately offer to pay me back, but he also insisted on taking out all the cash and gold bars from the safe, with interest, as if afraid I wouldn't have enough."

He spoke casually, but Su Yingxue was an extremely intelligent person. Combining the skills Ye Heng had shown when he saved her, and the real spoils in that backpack, she understood.

She could almost instantly picture what the scene would look like in her mind.

She couldn't help but laugh helplessly, "Your way of 'persuading' is truly...unique. No wonder you were able to solve the problem so quickly."

Then he immediately became serious.

"Although I know that you are one of those people with special abilities and great strength, we are still living in a society governed by the rule of law. Otherwise, an organization like the Spirit Group wouldn't exist."

"Force cannot solve all problems, and you can't solve everything with force!"

Ye Heng nodded, but his mind was elsewhere.

Perhaps there are things in this world that he cannot solve with force, but that is only because he is not strong enough.

In Jinling City, there's really nothing he can't solve!

Su Yingxue hadn't finished speaking.

"My grandfather thinks highly of you and has allowed you to join the Su family."

"But I don't want my subordinates to say that you got in through connections. So, I've decided that starting tomorrow, I will begin developing your business acumen."

"The day after tomorrow, Tianhai Group will hold a cocktail party, at which time the partners for the five hundred million project will be selected from our Su family and the Chu family."

"I've already handed over the business negotiations at the cocktail party to Su Wangchuan, but I'll take you with me so you can understand business operations."

As soon as Su Yingxue finished speaking, she saw Ye Heng's troubled expression and asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"

Ye Heng scratched his head; he had absolutely no interest in business or anything like that.

"Are you really going to make me work for Su's? Actually, I think it's pretty good to slack off at work every day..."

Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue, who had initially had some hope for Ye Heng, was furious, and her face darkened considerably!

"Get lost! You're utterly hopeless!"

Seeing that Su Yingxue was about to lose her temper, Ye Heng quickly slipped outside.

All that could be heard from inside was Su Yingxue's last words.

"You have to come to the cocktail party with me the day after tomorrow!"

As soon as Ye Heng stepped out of the president's office, he saw Xia He waiting in the corridor.

She held the 100,000 yuan in cash she had just received from Su Yingxue, her face still flushed with excitement.

"Ye Heng!" Xia He quickly stepped forward to greet him.

He had already divided up half of the money in his hand and handed it to Ye Heng with both hands.

"We were able to get the money back today thanks to you, so no matter what, you should at least get half!"

If she didn't really need the money, she would even have wanted to give it all to Ye Heng.

Ye Heng looked at the 50,000 yuan, smiled, shook his head, and gently pushed her hand back: "Keep it for yourself. I don't need this little bit of money."

Xia He was taken aback, recalling Ye Heng's methods for getting the debt back, and the special treatment Su Yingxue gave him by personally bringing him into the company—she truly believed that Ye Heng's background was not simple.

But she still felt bad: "But..."

"There's no 'but' about it," Ye Heng interrupted her, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"This money is nothing to me, but it's different for you. You should give it to someone who needs it. Keep it for yourself."

Xia He bit her lip, and her eyes welled up with tears again.

She really needs this money; every penny can solve her immediate problem.

Seeing Ye Heng's resolute attitude, she stopped insisting and carefully put the money into her bag.

"Then...then I definitely have to treat you to a meal!" Xia He looked up, her eyes serious.

"I promised to treat you, so no more refusals this time. You can choose the location!"

Seeing her determined look, Ye Heng couldn't help but laugh: "Alright. But I don't know which places are good to eat, so you pick one."

Xia He's eyes immediately lit up. She tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment. Soon, a shop that her roommate had talked about with great enthusiasm came to mind.

That Japanese restaurant is said to have very authentic flavors and a nice ambiance, but it costs several hundred yuan to eat there by yourself.

This is still too extravagant for a college student who works part-time to support himself.

So Xia He couldn't bear to part with it.

"I've got a great idea! My classmate said there's a Japanese restaurant in the city center called 'Bamboo Hermitage,' the food is really authentic, and the ambiance is nice, but it's a bit pricey..."

As she spoke, her voice softened a little, tinged with embarrassment, but she immediately straightened her back.

"But I absolutely have to treat you to something nice today, so let's go there!"

Ye Heng found her excited yet feignedly bold appearance rather endearing and nodded, "Okay, let's go here."

The two took a taxi to a relatively quiet neighborhood in the city center. The sign for Zhuyin Xiaoju (Bamboo Hermitage) was not ostentatious, hidden behind a clump of green bamboo, exuding a refined elegance amidst the hustle and bustle.

Pushing open the heavy wooden lattice door is like stepping instantly from a bustling modern city into a tranquil Japanese garden.

The interior space is spacious, with a main color scheme of natural wood and dark gray, soft lighting, and cleverly divided into semi-open booths to ensure privacy.

The air is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood and the fresh aroma of the ingredients themselves, with the soothing and ethereal sound of shakuhachi music playing in the background.

As soon as they arrived, a waitress dressed in an elegant kimono immediately came forward to greet them and guide them to their seats.

Xia He was clearly visiting this kind of restaurant for the first time. She followed Ye Heng somewhat awkwardly, but her eyes couldn't help but curiously examine the exquisite decor and the ukiyo-e reproductions hanging on the walls.

Meanwhile, her small eyes were fixed on Ye Heng's back, her face slightly flushed.

Why... does this feel like we're on a date?

Because of family reasons, this is the first time in my life I've come to a place like this alone with a man...

After sitting down in a booth by the window, a waitress knelt down and handed me the menu.

The menu is in handwritten Chinese and Japanese.

Xia He took the menu, flipped it open, and saw that the prices were indeed as "beautiful" as rumored. She was secretly amazed, but when she thought of the 100,000 yuan bonus she received today and Ye Heng's contribution, she calmed down.

She pushed the menu towards Ye Heng: "Ye Heng, take a look and see what you want to eat. It's my treat today, don't worry about saving me money!"

Ye Heng glanced at it, understood immediately, casually flipped through it, and closed it: "I'm not familiar with Japanese food, so you can choose whatever you like."
