I'm Jealous Of Myself Everyday (QT)

Chapter 35: I'm Jealous of Myself Every Day

He Quansheng sneered, assuming he was putting on a brave face. Now that Xie Wenxiu was dead, and Xie Junya, the Xie family's biggest backer, was also dead, what could Wei Ye, a young newcomer to the business world, possibly use to fight him?

"This matter is a done deal, Mr. Wei, please accept my condolences."

"That's right. I heard that the Xie family's new caravans are all escorted by the Second Master's men. Now that the Second Master is in trouble, Boss Wei should be extra careful."

Many people echoed He Quansheng's words. He Quansheng sat down leisurely, his smugness evident in his eyes.

Seeing Wei Ye's cold expression, the Chamber of Commerce president coughed and then spoke up to smooth things over: "I hope Second Master Xie is blessed with good fortune. Mr. Wei, please have a seat. We have important matters to discuss today."

As expected, many people changed their tune. Last time, Wei Ye's opinion prevailed, but this time the situation has reversed.

"Chairman, are you really going to let opium enter Ancheng?" Wei Ye asked bluntly, "You don't really not know how harmful this stuff is to the people, do you?"

The chairman stroked his beard, looking troubled: "Boss Wei, our Ancheng Merchants Association has always adopted a voting system. Now, the minority obeys the majority. If you object again, there's nothing I can do."

“Since Boss Wei is unwilling, the Xie family can stay out of this mess.” He Quansheng was more than happy that the Xie family wouldn’t compete with him for this business, so that he could make more money.

Wei Ye turned and left, his face grim, and he could vaguely hear He Quansheng's laughter behind him.

Back home, Wei Ye had a sudden inspiration. He wandered around the Xie family's house twice and spotted Xie Wenxiu in the garden.

As winter approached and leaves began to fall, he lifted his coat and sat down under the osmanthus tree. Xie Wenxiu quickly floated over.

Wei Ye took out the photo he always carried with him and recounted what had happened that day, muttering, "They are simply blinded by greed. If all else fails, I can only have the people my second brother left behind intercept the goods, but if we completely break ties, it will be difficult to end things... The world is so chaotic now, if another business war breaks out in Ancheng, everyone's lives will only become more turbulent."

Xie Wenxiu's face darkened after receiving the message, while Wei Ye raised his eyebrows and rubbed the photo in his hand.

"Is your sister-in-law sunbathing?" Xie Shuyun saw him as she passed by the garden and immediately came over.

Wei Ye looked up and smiled at him. Xie Shuyun was quite interesting; that day she suddenly climbed out of the window, hid in her room for a day, and then quickly became clingy to him again.

"How have you been sleeping lately, sister-in-law?" Xie Shuyun asked, observing Wei Ye's expression. "Have you been having nightmares again?"

Wei Ye shook his head and said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, Third Brother. Thanks to you, I feel much more relaxed now."

In reality, Xie Shuyun had not made any progress. He stared at Wei Ye, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Don't frown, you've already helped me a lot." Wei Ye raised his phoenix eyes slightly and joked, "I remember you said that if my bones were ground into powder, they could help you gain the ability to see ghosts. When I die, my bones will definitely be yours."

Xie Shuyun blinked her long eyelashes, and smiled when she heard this, "Sister-in-law still remembers this?"

He dashed over to Wei Ye and sat down next to him, smiling as he said, "But now I don't want you to die so soon."
