My Sexy CEO Wife

Gao Fei laughed, "You really don't know how blessed you are! Do you know how many average-looking girls dream of becoming a little prettier, to get more attention from men, and some even go to the hospital for plastic surgery. If the surgery is successful, they're happy, but if it fails, they have to live in pain."

"Everyone has different thoughts," Shen Caidie shook her head slightly. "If I had to choose, I'd rather be average-looking."

"Wait until you really become ugly, then you'll know what pain is," Gao Fei curled his lips.

"Oh, right, didn't you say you wanted to start a company? Is there any progress? What kind of company do you plan to start? How much are you preparing for the registered capital?" Shen Caidie didn't want to continue discussing the matter of looks, so she changed the subject.

Gao Fei shook his head, "Still planning. It might take some time before anything concrete happens."

"If you need my help, just ask," Shen Caidie said.

"I will," Gao Fei replied with a smile.

After finishing their cups of coffee, they both got up and left the cafe. Shen Caidie returned to her company, and Gao Fei went to Gambling Stone Street, planning to pick out some more stones. Since he intended to start a company, he needed to accumulate more funds.

...

Different flowers bloom, each representing its own branch.

Let's talk about Su Xiaorou's situation.

After she returned from her business trip, she found out that Gao Fei had been fired. Su Xiaorou was immediately anxious, storming into the chairman's office, demanding from Su Zhentian why he fired Gao Fei!

"Because Gao Fei violated the company's policies, that's why I fired him," said Su Zhentian.

"What policy did he violate?" Su Xiaorou asked loudly.

"He talked back to me! He didn't take me seriously!" Su Zhentian frowned.

"That's impossible! Gao Fei isn't that kind of person!" Su Xiaorou didn't believe Su Zhentian's words at all.

"What are you talking about? Do you think I would lie to you?" Su Zhentian's brow furrowed.

"Gao Fei saved my life! He's my lifesaver! How could you fire him!"

"I have already repaid him for that deed. I gave him a check for thirty million, so you don't owe him anything anymore."

"You gave him a thirty million check? Did he accept it?"

Su Zhentian nodded vigorously: "Of course he did! That's thirty million we're talking about. As long as Gao Fei isn't a fool, he would definitely take it." Su Zhentian was clearly lying through his teeth.

"He took it? He really took it?" Su Xiaorou was doubtful. She knew that she had previously given Gao Fei a check for ten million, which He had refused. It was because of this that Su Xiaorou had grown fond of Gao Fei—he saved her life and wanted nothing in return. He was a true man. But now...

Su Zhentian was saying that Gao Fei had accepted a thirty million check and had even been rude to Su Zhentian. Thereby, Gao Fei's admirable image in her mind began to waver.

The truth is, Su Xiaorou had known Gao Fei for too short a time and didn't understand him well enough. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had any doubts.

Of course, she wouldn't completely believe Su Zhentian, either, because there were many suspicious aspects to the situation.

"Xiaorou, I know you appreciate Gao Fei for saving your life and want to repay him. Now you can rest assured, I have already repaid him for you. Thirty million is enough for him to live comfortably for a lifetime," Su Zhentian tried to persuade.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. Right or wrong, I must get to the bottom of it!" Su Xiaorou left angrily after dropping these words.

"That girl... She's just too stubborn," Su Zhentian frowned deeply.

At that moment, the secretary Ding Xiang entered the room, "Director, I just saw Miss Su storm out in a huff..."

"You guessed right," sighed Su Zhentian. "She came to question me after finding out Gao Fei was fired. You didn't see how angry she was at that time, yelling and shouting at me... To think she would get angry at me over some young man she hardly knew for a few days. It's really disheartening."

"Gao Fei saved Miss Su's life, so it's understandable that she values him," said Ding Xiang as she came over and brewed a cup of hot tea for Su Zhentian. "She'll be fine after some time. Right now, she's angry and might do something impulsive. Once she calms down, it'll be alright."

"I've really had my worries over this daughter," said Su Zhentian as he picked up the teacup, blew on the steaming rim, and took a slow sip. The fragrant tea trickled down his throat, slightly soothing his irritated mood. Why did so many people like drinking tea? Because indeed, tea can calm the mind.

...

After leaving the chairman's office, Su Xiaorou started calling Gao Fei, but the system prompted, "The number you have dialed is not in service." Su Xiaorou checked the number several times. It was correct—it was Gao Fei's mobile number. Why couldn't she get through?

Su Xiaorou tried a few more times without success: "Could it be that Gao Fei changed his number?"

The mobile number Gao Fei used before had been canceled by Su Zhentian, who used his connections with the intention of preventing Su Xiaorou from contacting Gao Fei. Su Zhentian's plans were indeed thorough, not leaving Gao Fei any chance to turn things around.

Holding her phone, Su Xiaorou frowned and pondered deeply.

Neither early nor late, but Gao Fei was fired precisely when she was away on a business trip... Was it a coincidence? Or did someone purposely send her away?

And that thirty million check... Did Gao Fei really take it?

Su Xiaorou grew more and more uneasy.

Only by finding Gao Fei himself could she clarify the situation!

In the following days, Su Xiaorou began to search everywhere for Gao Fei, using every method she could think of, but still, she failed to find him.

...

Time flew by.

Unconsciously, a week passed.

During this week, Gao Fei spent most of his time on Gambling Stone, and his profits were substantial. Up to now, Gao Fei had accumulated more than thirty million, which he had deposited into the bank, preparing to use it to establish a company.

"Thirty million should be enough to start a company."

"Take some time to register it with the relevant authorities, then rent a place for the office, and after that, recruit staff."

"It would be best to locate the company in the bustling central city area."

"When I have enough money in the future, I'll just buy a plot of land and build my own building."

As Gao Fei walked along the street, he muttered to himself, pondering about the business startup. In the past few days, he had considered quite a lot. What's the most important thing to start a company? Money, of course! With sufficient funds, he could register and start the company. Then, the next step would be to find ways to expand the company.

As the company grew, so would the profits.

"Eh? Why is this shop closed?" While walking, Gao Fei's eyes suddenly caught sight of a shop, a shop that piqued his great interest.

The shop was locked, but through the window, he could see some stones piled up inside. It was these stones that caught Gao Fei's attention! To be precise, a few of them caught his attention.

Gao Fei walked over, his eyes widened as he examined them carefully several times, then a surprised smile appeared on his face, "I'm not mistaken! There are indeed a few really nice stones here!" Gao Fei silently resolved to get those stones no matter what.

A piece of white paper was pasted on the door of the shop, with several lines written on it: "This shop is available for sublease. Interested parties please contact me!" The bottom right of the paper listed a series of mobile numbers.

Gao Fei took out his phone and dialed the number on the paper, "Hello, I would like to ask about the shop for lease… yes, yes, that's right, I am interested… okay, I'll wait for you here." It wasn't long after Gao Fei hung up that an eighty percent new Santana sedan drove over from the opposite direction.

"Screech!"

The Santana sedan parked smoothly in front of Gao Fei, the door opened, and a man in a gray suit got out. He looked to be in his thirties, with short hair and thick eyebrows, and a burly figure.

"Are you the one looking to rent this shop?" the man asked Gao Fei.

Gao Fei nodded, "Yes, that's me."

"Let's talk inside," the man said as he pulled out a set of keys, unlocked the door, and led Gao Fei into the shop.

Gao Fei glanced around, "This shop looks nice, spacious enough, and in a good location. Why do you want to sublease it?" Gao Fei voiced his doubt.

"Need cash," the man explained, "I've recently set my sights on a plot of land to develop into a property, but I don't have enough funds at hand, so I thought about subleasing this shop."

"I see," Gao Fei pointed to the stones across the way, "What about these stones?"

"If you want to lease this shop, you have to buy these stones too."

"Isn't that condition a bit too harsh?"

"These stones I had shipped over from Myanmar. They're all quality stones with a high chance of containing Jade..."

"If they are all quality stones, then why haven't they been sold?"

"... Mainly because I've been too busy lately to sell them."

Gao Fei circled the pile of stones twice, "Tell me, how much do you want for them?"

The man extended one finger, "Ten million, not negotiable! If you can accept this, we can sign the contract immediately. If you can't, then there's no point in further discussion." The man spoke bluntly, and with such an approach, it seemed unlikely that many people would be willing to do business with him.

"Ten million?" Gao Fei smacked his lips, "That's not a low price."

"There are three years left on the shop's lease. When I rented it, the annual rent was two million, so three years' rent amounts to six million. Plus these stones, which cost me over five million to buy, all together that's more than eleven million. Now I'm asking for ten million, which is already the lowest price," the man said.

"Two million a year in rent? That expensive?"

"That's the market rate! You can check around if you don't believe me to see if I'm lying to you."

"The key issue is this pile of stones... asking five million for them, isn't that a bit high?"

"Not high at all! As I mentioned before, these stones were transported from Myanmar; they are quality stones with a very high chance of containing Jade. Buying these stones, you definitely won't lose!"
