Rural Doctor Enters the City: Whoever Touches My Wife, I'll Take Them Down!

Chapter 734: Chapter 734: Undermining Someone!

At these words, both Zhou Yu and He Xu were stunned.

No one had expected Ye Mengyun to come out with such a move—was she trying to poach a talent from under his nose?

For a moment, Zhou Yu couldn’t fathom what this woman was up to...

He frowned and said,

”Miss Ye, you must be mistaken?”

Ye Mengyun snorted coldly.

”What does it have to do with you? I’m talking to Miss He.”

After speaking, she turned to look at He Xu.

”Miss He, are you willing?”

At this moment, He Xu’s brain also crashed.

Although she was usually intelligent and good at socializing, she was nowhere near the circles that Ye Mengyun moved in.

Moreover, given Zhou Yu’s recent comments, she couldn’t figure out what Ye Mengyun intended.

She glanced at Zhou Yu, then shook her head and said,

”I’m sorry, Miss Ye, I... I’m not qualified enough. You should find someone more capable.”

Ye Mengyun saw right through her.

Clearly, He Xu had some ideas, but she still valued Zhou Yu more.

So if she wanted to lure He Xu away, it ultimately had to go through Zhou Yu.

Ye Mengyun didn’t waste further words, and she looked directly at Zhou Yu.

”Zhou Yu, although I’m not in Haizhou, I still have some understanding of the situation there.”

”The He Family has just gone through an internal conflict and is severely weakened. There are many who are watching closely. Without a powerful backer, their journey ahead is unlikely to be smooth sailing.”

Zhou Yu’s eyebrows furrowed.

Ye Mengyun’s words weren’t unfounded; he had also heard Chen Feihu mention this.

”So, what are you suggesting?”

”Have her come to me as vice president. That way, no one in Haizhou would dare to touch the He Family. Even those in Shanghai would think twice before moving against them.”

”This would effectively reduce a lot of trouble and danger for the He Family.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu considered the proposal.

He had not thought of this aspect.

Indeed, it would be greatly beneficial for the He Family.

However, Ye Mengyun must have ulterior motives, most likely relating to himself.

But then again, he thought.

If he could use this opportunity to secure advantages for the He Family, what did it matter if her intentions weren’t pure?

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, then spoke up:

”Xu Jie has no foundation here; making her vice president out of the blue will surely lead to exclusion, and might even create unnecessary risks. How do you plan to solve this issue?”

Ye Mengyun displayed a hint of derision.

”Zhou Yu, you’re really underestimating me.”

”This villa belongs to the Ye Family—who would dare to do anything right under my nose...”

She stopped mid-sentence as she suddenly remembered the incident involving Mr. Yan and Vice President Zhou. She then said with a stern face,

”You don’t need to worry about that. I will personally take Miss He to see Li Quan.”

”I guarantee that Miss He will not be suppressed in any way.”

Seeing Ye Mengyun’s response, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile inwardly. He turned to look at He Xu.

”Xu Jie, in that case, I think you might as well accept her offer. What do you think?”

Truth be told, He Xu was indeed tempted by the proposition.

The Red Leaf Villa was well-known; even the governor had to be polite when visiting.

To be vice president here would bring unimaginable honor and resources to the He Family.

But she was a smart woman, and she knew that Ye Mengyun wasn’t really interested in her—it was all because of Zhou Yu.

So she knew where her loyalties lay.

It wasn’t until Zhou Yu also suggested she agree that she finally nodded in assent.

”If that’s the case, then... I accept.”

”Thank you, Miss Ye.”

Ye Mengyun nodded.

”Good, then I will take you to see Li Quan right now.”

”Come with me.”

Ye Mengyun took a step forward, took He Xu by the hand, and turned to leave.

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

”And what about me?”

”Go wherever you want, no one’s stopping you,” Ye Mengyun tossed back without turning her head.

”...”

Zhou Yu was speechless.

However, he still followed inside.

No matter what, he had to ensure that He Xu wouldn’t have any accidents here.

Seeing Zhou Yu follow, a nearly imperceptible smile flashed in the depths of Ye Mengyun’s eyes.

Humph, all these stinking men are the same.

Once I have control over your woman, let’s see if you still dare to refuse me.

Although Zhou Yu could roughly guess Ye Mengyun’s thoughts, he was also unable to refuse; this was what’s known as an open strategy.

Soon, Li Quan was called to the reception room again.

Ye Mengyun explained He Xu’s personnel situation to Li Quan.

”Li Quan, from today onward, He Xu will take over the position of vice president,”

”In name, she is your deputy, but, in fact, she will be in charge of the daily affairs of Red Leaf Villa. Before any major mistakes occur, you cannot interfere for any reason or with any action. If I find out, you know the consequences.”

Li Quan’s body trembled.

Ye Mengyun’s appointment clearly meant a major reshuffling of the villa’s personnel, but he dare not utter a single word of objection.

Actually, the fact that he survived the Mr. Yan incident was already a stroke of unbelievable luck.

At this moment, he didn’t dare harbor the slightest grievance in his heart.

”Yes, Miss, I will certainly do my best to assist Miss He.”

Ye Mengyun waved her hand.

”Good, you may leave now.”

Li Quan respectfully bowed, then looked towards He Xu and Zhou Yu, nodding politely.

He was very clear that from today on, Zhou Yu and He Xu would be the two people in Red Leaf Villa whom one could least afford to offend.

After dealing with the affairs of Red Leaf Villa, Zhou Yu took He Xu back to the hotel.

Yu Kaiping, He Tianhua, and others had been waiting in the hotel for news.

Only when they saw Zhou Yu and He Xu return safely did they let out a sigh of relief.

He Tianhua immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yu.

”Mr. Zhou, you are the savior of the He family. The incident at Red Leaf Villa was my fault. From now on, my life, He Tianhua’s life, is yours, Mr. Zhou...”

Zhou Yu hurriedly helped him up.

With the relationship he now had with He Xu, it wasn’t right for He Tianhua to kneel like this.

”Uncle He, you’re taking it too seriously. Let’s put this behind us and not bring it up again,”

”We still need your great assistance with the establishment of the new company.”

He Tianhua looked grateful,

”No problem, no problem. My family will devote all our energy to the new company.”

”Good.”

”After being frightened for the whole day today, Uncle Yu, Uncle He, Mi Lan, you should all go back and rest,”

Zhou Yu said with a smile.

Everyone also took their leave one after another.

Soon, only Zhou Yu and He Xu were left in the hotel.

He Xu glanced at Zhou Yu, and when she saw the passion in Zhou Yu’s eyes, her face turned red.

”Then I... I’ll go back too...”

Just as she was about to leave, Zhou Yu grabbed her in one move, lifting her by the waist.

”Xu Jie, it’s so late, why don’t you rest here?”

He Xu’s face turned completely hot.

She stretched out her hand to wrap it around Zhou Yu’s neck, burying her head in his chest.

Zhou Yu’s burning body almost melted her.

Zhou Yu chuckled and, carrying He Xu, went upstairs to return to the room.

Back in the room, Zhou Yu was eager to get down to business, but He Xu firmly pushed him away.

”Go shower first.”

Zhou Yu looked at himself, indeed a bit dirty and disheveled.

He had no choice but to suppress the fire in his heart and dashed into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Yu came out of the shower, only to see He Xu curled up under the covers. The thin silk quilt made her body appear half-hidden, extremely tempting.

Zhou Yu felt a beast inside him ready to break free, and he pounced directly towards her.

However, just at that moment, his phone rang.

Zhou Yu didn’t want to answer, but upon a glance, he saw that it was Mi Lan calling.

He had to pick it up first.

But when he picked up the phone, he heard a chaotic sound on the other end, filled with the noise of collapsing buildings and the screams of people.

Then came Mi Lan’s weak voice.

”Zhou Yu, my home... it’s been bombed...”
