Chapter 535 - 535: Equivalent Exchange

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Counting on you to help me?” Mei Shu couldn’t help but laugh outright in front of her.

Feng Wei’s expression became uglier and uglier. She was about to smash something and leave.

Mei Shu barely contained her laughter, raising an eyebrow playfully, “Auntie, since we’re all people of business here, let’s not talk about favors. If you insist on me keeping Feng Kai, it’s not impossible, but you can provide resources in exchange.”

“What do you mean?” Feng Wei frowned, asking, “What do you mean by resource equivalence, and exchange?”

Mei Shu opened the files collected by Tang Mei with interest, glanced over them roughly, and said, “To be honest, 1 don’t see any value in keeping Feng Kai in the company.”

Feng Wei’s gaze turned cold and menacingly focused on her.

Mei Shu disregarded it, pretending not to notice, and casually tossed the documents onto the table. She said leisurely, “But considering we’re relatives, 1’11 give him a chance to stay. The condition is, as someone backing Feng Kai, you need to hand over your recent cooperation with Qianrui to me.”

“What are you dreaming about?” Feng Wei couldn’t believe it, standing up directly, glaring fiercely at Mei Shu, as if she wanted to bore a hole through her, “I underestimated you. Your appetite is quite large, huh? Cooperation with Qianrui is worth tens of millions!”

Mei Shu suddenly realized, nodding as if understanding, and clicked her tongue in amazement, “So, you also know that Feng Kai isn’t worth the price. But I have my eyes on this piece of fat. That’s the premise for our cooperation.”

“You wish!” Feng Wei squinted at Mei Shu, deeply disgusted by Mei Shu’s negotiating attitude, “I advise you not to be so unyielding! Do you think you’re the only one who can gain the upper hand? 1 warn you, if you dare to dismiss my brother, you will regret it!”

“Then I’ll just wait.” Mei Shu also stood up, casually picking up her coat from the side. The evenings had been a bit chilly lately. “I won’t see you off. Since we can’t come to an agreement, let’s not waste each other’s time anymore. Tang Mei!”

Tang Mei immediately entered from outside, standing deferentially in front of her. “Miss Mei, do you have any instructions?”

Mei Shu ignored Feng Wei and said lightly, “Dismiss Feng Kai and let the deputy manager of the HR department, Chong Xin, take over his position as manager.”

“Yes.” Tang Mei was about to go down to convey her instructions.

Feng Wei hurriedly stopped her, “Wait a minute!”

Mei Shu tilted her head, casting a cold glance at her.

Feng Wei gritted her teeth, feeling both angry and embarrassed. “You have to wait! 1 need to consult my husband’s opinion on the conditions you just mentioned!”

“Fine, but don’t take too long.” Mei Shu didn’t give her a chance to procrastinate, raising a finger. “I’ll give you one day. If you haven’t given me the answer I want by this time tomorrow, then sorry.”

“Mei Shu, don’t be so ruthless! Did your parents never teach you to leave room for others? ” Feng Wei’s words were somewhat gnashing her teeth.

The lightness on Mei Shu’s face suddenly turned cold. “Feng Wei, perhaps before we discuss conditions, I should let you know the consequences of offending me.”

Feng Wei didn’t take Mei Shu seriously at all. In her eyes, Mei Shu was nothing but a naive little girl, a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

Even if Mei Shu was clever, could she outsmart these experienced adults?

She sneered, her lips curling with disdain. “Then I’ll wait and see. I’ll give you one day too. If you can’t show me what you’re capable of, we won’t stand by idly. You just wait and see.”

With that, she didn’t give Mei Shu a chance to retort, turning on her high heels and striding out of the office, her steps full of arrogance.

Tang Mei timidly asked, “Miss Mei, do you still need to arrange the personnel changes discussed just now?”

“Not for now.” Mei Shu said, “It’s getting late. You go off work first. I’ll take the remaining files home to deal with.”

“Okay, Miss Mei, don’t overwork yourself.”

During this time, Mei Shu had been working diligently in the company, putting in a lot of effort to get a handle on the company quickly and secure major orders. She wasn’t solely relying on her clever mind.

What others couldn’t see was her tireless efforts behind the scenes, unwilling to waste even a second.

Tang Mei also found that her CEO had an excellent memory; many things didn’t need to be written down—he could remember them with just one glance.

More than Mei Shu’s intelligence, what impressed Tang Mei the most was her diligence.

They say genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

This saying was particularly fitting for Mei Shu.

Back at the Mei household, the air was filled with celebration.

Mei Shu placed the documents on the table and headed toward the kitchen, where the aroma of food had been wafting.

As soon as Mei Yan saw her, his eyes lit up. He even let go of the piping bag he was fighting over with Mei Jing and ran straight into Mei Shu’s arms.. “Sister’s back! Come see the cake we made together with Brother!”
