My Sexy CEO Wife

Having calmed down, Ye Xiaohong directly took out her phone and dialed Wang Gongzi's number.

"Dudu..."

The phone rang twice and was answered, then a clear male voice came through, "Hello?"

"Wang Gongzi, I'm sorry, I didn't manage to handle the task you assigned," Ye Xiaohong said with some shame, "No matter how I tried to persuade her, Shen Caidie just wouldn't agree to attend your birthday party."

"This Shen Caidie... is she really so unwilling to associate with me?" Wang Gongzi's tone was somewhat somber.

"Wang Gongzi, please don't be angry, I will try to persuade Shen Caidie again..." Ye Xiaohong hastily said.

"Hmph!" Wang Gongzi snorted, "Several months ago, you said the same thing, and I chose to believe you, patiently waiting for months, but what did I end up with?"

"Wang Gongzi..." Ye Xiaohong was about to speak when Wang Gongzi cut her off.

"My patience is nearly worn out!" Wang Gongzi said coldly, "I originally wanted to use gentler means to pursue Shen Caidie, but she just doesn't give me a chance. Since that's the case, I'll have to resort to more forceful measures."

"Forceful measures?" Ye Xiaohong was startled, "Wang Gongzi, what... what are you going to do?"

"What is most important to Shen Caidie?" Wang Gongzi asked gravely.

"Wang Gongzi, listen to me..."

"Answer me!" Wang Gongzi's voice grew heavier, "What is most important to Shen Caidie!"

"...Her parents and her company."

"Her parents? Her company?" Wang Gongzi laughed, "Tell me, if I made a move against her parents and her company, what would Shen Caidie do?"

"This..." Ye Xiaohong hesitated briefly, "If Wang Gongzi really threatens her with her parents and company, Shen Caidie will definitely compromise.

Her parents are the relatives she cares about most, the company is the dream of her life; losing either would be unbearable for her." Having been friends with Shen Caidie for over a decade, she knew Shen Caidie's vulnerabilities all too well, her parents and her company, clutching at these weak points, Shen Caidie would be distressed.

"I want the specific details about Shen Caidie's parents," Wang Gongzi stated, "For example, where do they live? What are their jobs? What are their names?"

"Wang Gongzi, are you really going to target Shen Caidie's parents?" Ye Xiaohong asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, I won't act recklessly," Wang Gongzi chuckled, "I'll approach Shen Caidie's parents with gentleness and try to get them to accept me. In addition, I will put pressure on Shen Caidie's company. I refuse to believe that under dual pressures, Shen Caidie could still reject me."

"Wang Gongzi, how astute you are," Ye Xiaohong lavished with flattery.

"Ms. Ye, rest assured that once things are settled, I won't let you go unrewarded," Wang Gongzi promised a substantial reward, "Shen Caidie is destined to become my wife, bear and raise my children, so you see, she won't have the energy to manage the company any longer. When that time comes, I will have her transfer all her shares to you; the company will be all yours then.

With my support, your company will definitely grow larger and sooner or later become a top-tier corporation."

"Wang Gongzi, thank you so very much," Ye Xiaohong said, deeply moved. The reason she had been helping Wang Gongzi tirelessly was to get his help, and now it seemed her efforts were paying off.

"Tell me about Shen Caidie's parents," Wang Gongzi inquired.

"Shen Caidie's parents are both university professors, quite well-known..." Ye Xiaohong proceeded to carefully detail Shen Caidie's parents' situation.

"Thank you for the information, I'll take you out for a meal when I have the time," Wang Gongzi said, and after getting the information he wanted, he ended the phone call.

Ye Xiaohong placed the phone on the table and let out a suppressed sigh, "Shen Caidie, Wang Gongzi is too powerful, I can't afford to offend him, I can only betray you. I hope you can forgive me."

In order to better understand the value of jade, Gao Fei specially bought a computer, and then began to look up information about jade online.

Really, there was a wealth of information on the internet, and Gao Fei was dazzled by it.

After several hours, Gao Fei had read at least a thousand pieces of information, which allowed him to gain a preliminary understanding of the value of jade.

To summarize in one sentence: The higher the transparency of the jade, the greater its value!

There are three types of jade worth mentioning. One is red jade, with colors ranging from bright red, orange-red, to brown-red, with textures varying from coarse to fine and transparencies from good to poor. Then there is violet jade, which ranges from light purple to purple in color and is rare in the market, highly valued, and coveted by many collectors.

Lastly, there's a kind of jade that combines three colors—green, red, and violet—known as "Fu Lu Shou" jade, extremely rare, and whenever it appears, it causes a frenzy among buyers because of the auspicious meaning it carries, with many eager to own one in hopes of acquiring some good fortune.

Actually, there are many factors that determine the value of a piece of jade, such as transparency, volume, provenance; each factor can increase the value of the jade.

Over the years, jade has been heavily hyped, with some pieces auctioned for astronomical prices amounting to billions, unfathomable to ordinary people. What can several billion buy? How many acres of land? How many high-rise buildings? How many citizens can it feed?

The number of things one can do with several billion is vast, and to spend so much money on a piece of jade that one can only see but not eat, is it worth it?

That's a matter of differing values.

Some people like to pursue spiritual level enjoyment, while others prefer materialistic pleasures; everyone's philosophy of life is different. You might think spending over a billion to buy a piece of jade is foolish, but others don't see it that way. They consider jade as part of their life, worth any cost.

Of course, this is a game among the rich, beyond what common folk can afford.

So you see, having more money gives you more choices and makes life richer.

After reading through the information online, Gao Fei shut down his computer and sat cross-legged on the bed to begin his cultivation. Ever since he received the Demon God Heritage, he rarely slept because he found that meditation could also keep his energy abundant.

A quiet night passed.

The next morning, Gao Fei received a call from Shen Caidie, who said the cooperation agreement was ready and asked if he was free. If so, they could meet up and sign the document.

Gao Fei said he was available.

"Let's meet at the coffee shop we were at yesterday," Shen Caidie suggested.

"Okay," Gao Fei nodded.

After setting the time and place, they ended the call.

...

An hour later, Gao Fei arrived at the coffee shop.

"Mr. Gao, I'm here." A woman stood up in the corner and waved at Gao Fei. It was Shen Caidie. She was wearing a long dress and her hair was tied up high, her face lightly made up, looking fresh and beautiful.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," said Gao Fei as he quickly approached.

"Not at all, I just got here," Shen Caidie greeted Gao Fei to sit down, and then had the waiter bring him a fragrant cup of coffee.

After some small talk, they got down to business.

"Mr. Gao, please look over this agreement to see if there are any issues," Shen Caidie handed the prepared agreement to Gao Fei. "If there are none, please sign here." While speaking, Shen Caidie placed a pen on the table.

Gao Fei casually flipped through it, then nodded, "Yes, you've been very thorough, there's no issue." He picked up the pen and signed his name on the agreement. There were two copies of the agreement, one for each party to keep. With this document, many troubles could be avoided.

"Let's toast with coffee instead of wine to a successful cooperation."

"To a successful cooperation!"

They raised their coffee cups, clinked them together, and took a sip.

"Mr. Gao, I..." Shen Caidie was about to speak when a sudden burst of ringing from her phone interrupted her. She shot Gao Fei an apologetic look. "Sorry, I need to take this call." While talking, Shen Caidie took out a tiny, exquisite mobile phone from her pocket. She glanced at the screen and frowned, "Him again! Seriously persistent!" Reluctantly, she pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

"Miss Shen, it's me." A cheerful male laugh came from the phone. "Are you free for lunch? I'd like to take you out."

"Sorry, I have plans," Shen Caidie replied icily.

"How about dinner?"

"I'm not free in the evening either."

"Then what about tomorrow? You should be free then, right?"

"Master Wang! I've been very busy lately, extremely busy! I really can't spare the time to dine with you."

"Miss Shen, why are you so cold towards me? Is there something I'm not doing right? Please tell me, and I'll certainly correct it."

"Master Wang, I'm sorry, but I'm really busy and can't chat with you any longer, that's all." Having said that, Shen Caidie quickly hung up the phone.

Gao Fei smiled slightly from across the table, "A suitor of yours?"

Shen Caidie shook her head with a wry smile, "A super-rich second-generation heir, somehow he took a fancy to me. For the past few months he's been relentless; he's nearly driving me insane." With that, Shen Caidie took a fierce sip of her coffee, a habit she had for years—whenever she felt upset, she would drink coffee, specifically bitter coffee without sugar.

"If you dislike him, just make it clear," Gao Fei suggested.

"I've already made it crystal clear, but he just won't listen and insists on pursuing me," sighed Shen Caidie. "People say it's a blessing for a girl to be beautiful because she gets a lot of boys' attention.

But in my view, being too pretty is clearly a nuisance, a huge nuisance." As she spoke, Shen Caidie took another bitter gulp of her coffee, the bitter taste slowly swirling in her mouth, casting her mood into melancholy.
