Chapter 104: I Can Understand
As soon as they shook hands, Aisha opposite them acted as if she had found a new toy, her emerald eyes constantly appraising Chen Yang.
Chen Yang couldn’t help but blush a little from her gaze.
William Taylor clearly knew what his cousin was looking at and quickly said, “Boss Chen, please sit down.”
“Okay, okay.” Chen Yang hurriedly sat down opposite the two.
Aisha took out the cigarettes she had brought, elegantly lit one, and continued to stare at Chen Yang through the smoke.
William Taylor took a thick stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Chen Yang, saying, “Boss Chen, as per your request, this is a proposal tailor-made for you.”
Chen Yang took the documents and began to read them. At this moment, Aisha beside him suddenly said to William Taylor, “Taylor, this boy is so handsome, can I take him back to the Netherlands and keep him?”
Aisha was speaking Dutch, a Germanic language closely related to German in many aspects.
William Taylor couldn’t help but rub his temples in exasperation at her words.
He knew his cousin had been spoiled since childhood and had a great fondness for beautiful things.
In her eyes, a handsome Eastern man like Chen Yang, with his fair complexion, was clearly different from those tall, muscular Western men.
“Aisha, I must warn you, you need to remember your status. His Majesty only agreed to let you come out and play for two years.”
“You still have to go back and get married later.”
“It’s improper for a young lady to keep a man.”
“If you dare to take him back, the ministers of the Royal Family will reprimand you so severely you won’t be able to hold your head up.”
“Besides, he’s a man, a normal man, not a rabbit or a piggy like the pets you used to keep.”
“After all these years, which pet has ever lived more than three months under your care? I advise you to give up this idea sooner rather than later…”
“Tch,” Aisha said dismissively, “His Majesty also has his favorite courtiers. I don’t think this is abnormal.”
“Besides, he’s so beautiful.”
William Taylor frowned, “You’d best pray he doesn’t understand what you’re saying.”
“In China, men are very proud and wouldn’t be enslaved by women.”
“Alas, it’s all because His Majesty spoiled you.”
Aisha pouted, “But he’s really beautiful, especially when we shook hands just now, his palm was so warm.”
“I can secretly keep him in Amsterdam, and when I have time…”
Before Aisha could finish speaking, Chen Yang put down the documents in his hand and said in Dutch, “Miss Aisha, I am very grateful for your admiration.”
“However, I am not a pet, and I have a proper job, so I cannot leave casually.”
“Wang Defa?” Aisha’s face instantly flushed, and she jumped up as if she had stepped on something, “You, you can speak Dutch?”
“A little bit, normal conversation should be fine,” Chen Yang replied with a smile. This was not a lie; the AI program in his mind was still somewhat useful…
Pushing the documents back to William Taylor, Chen Yang cleared his throat and said, “Mr. Taylor, your plan is very professional, but there are some areas that need to be modified.”
“I intend to register in the United Kingdom and establish the Huafu Fund headquarters, and then set up a branch in Shanghai.”
“Some matters require the permission of the Jinling Government. Of course, within China, it’s not just the Jinling Government; there are regulations in Chongqing as well.”
“Public officials are not allowed to participate in profit-making foundations.”
“Therefore, I need you to find an agent for me. I will acquire ninety percent of the shares of Huafu Fund in the name of my family.”
“Ten percent will be retained for the agent to exercise their rights.”
“Then, you will help me register Life Sunshine Co., Ltd. I will hold sixty-three percent of the shares in the company and then transfer twenty-seven percent of the Huafu Fund shares into this company.”
“Huafu Fund can earn revenue by investing in this company.”
Taylor was stunned at first, then pondered for a long time, and then couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. This was clearly a case of moving money from one hand to another, a way to launder money.
He wouldn’t be the legal representative, yet he would take the lion’s share of the profits. If anything went wrong, someone else would take the blame. How did this Chinese man’s mind work to come up with such a method?
“Mr. Chen, I find your proposal very interesting. How about I help you manage this foundation?”
Before Taylor could speak, Aisha eagerly interjected.
Taylor’s expression turned serious, and he reprimanded, “Aisha, don’t be ridiculous. Your profession only allows you to be an accountant. Why are you showing off at a time like this?”
Aisha smiled slightly, her eyes like two crescent moons, and said to Chen Yang, “My mother told me that successful businessmen don’t necessarily need strong skills; the most important thing is to invest well.”
“I think Mr. Chen is a very good investment target.”
“Taylor, you must trust a woman’s intuition.”
“Mr. Chen, would you mind being my partner?”
Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then looked up at Aisha and smiled, “It is my honor, Your Highness Princess.”
Shanghai, Labor Union Dormitory Building.
It was already late at night, but Secretary Pan’s bedroom was still lit.
An ashtray sat on the table, overflowing with cigarette butts, and two figures could be dimly seen through the smoke.
“Old Zhong, are you sure Qing Hu’s information is correct?”
Secretary Pan still couldn’t believe that there could be a traitor within the organization.
Shanghai’s intelligence network had suffered a major blow seven years ago.
Due to Gu Shunzhang’s betrayal, the Revival Society and the Blue Army launched a joint suppression operation, resulting in the arrest of over a dozen agents.
The intelligence network in Shanghai was completely paralyzed.
After that, the organization changed its original strategy and utilized a vertical network for intelligence work.
Cross-connections between groups were avoided unless absolutely necessary.
This measure proved effective, at least preventing a complete collapse.
Zhong Yuan took a deep drag of his cigarette and said, “Qing Hu is a veteran revolutionary. He has sacrificed and endured much criticism for the organization and the revolution.”
“I believe his judgment is trustworthy. Moreover, the fact that Cai Feng and Shānmāo’s line was exposed without reason is indeed highly unreasonable.”
“Coupled with the exposure of Comrade Fang Guohua in Jinling, all signs indicate that there is indeed a problem within the organization.”
Secretary Pan sighed deeply, “Old Zhong, who do you think this traitor could be?”
Zhong Yuan frowned, “We need a little more time. Han Zhu has already been arranged to investigate.”
“With Han Zhu’s abilities, I believe he will find clues soon.”
“Secretary Pan, if the traitor’s identity is confirmed, what will we do?”
Secretary Pan frowned, and after a long pause, slowly said, “Since they are a traitor, they are an enemy. The organization has always had zero tolerance for traitors.”
“Naturally, it will be blood for blood, tooth for tooth.”
