I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 139 I'm in love with you

Zhuang Baiqing, sitting behind her desk, met Ye Cheng's gaze.

Neither of them avoided the other.

Zhuang Baiqing said with an air of superiority, "Ye Cheng, right? I've investigated your resume."

Your background is clean, your origins are unknown, and you grew up in an orphanage.

like me.

Since your divorce from your ex-wife and your forced marriage to that crazy girl from the Shen Group, you have become the focus of attention in Hedong City.

I originally thought you were just an ordinary person with some brains.

Until you beat up so many security guards at the Cheng Group.

They then taught that old man Chen a lesson in front of the Chen Group building.

I also escaped an assassination attempt last night.

I've just realized you're quite extraordinary.

Ye Cheng's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but praise, "As expected of Gray Tower, they already have news about what happened just last night."

"Mr. Zhuang didn't call me here just to say these things, did he?"

Zhuang Baiqing didn't beat around the bush: "We're about the same age. I admire you. Are you interested in working for Gray Tower?"

Ye Cheng countered, "Is it to help Gray Tower or is there some other motive?"

Zhuang Baiqing made a startling statement: "I've taken a liking to you."

Ye Cheng said with difficulty, "President Zhuang should know that I already have a wife."

Zhuang Baiqing said, "I'm not a pure love warrior. I don't mind that you've been married twice. What I value is your ability."

At my level, I only hope to find a man who can help me, not a handsome but naive guy.

Ye Cheng replied, "President Zhuang is not, but I am."

In this lifetime, I only acknowledge Shen Qingrou.

There's no need to discuss this anymore. If Mr. Zhuang has other matters to attend to, then we can continue our discussion.

Zhuang Baiqing didn't expect Ye Cheng to refuse so decisively. She glared at him with her affectionate eyes and said unhappily, "You're saying this because you don't know the power of my Gray Tower in Hedong City!"

I'm giving you a chance to rephrase your words!

Ye Cheng said fearlessly, "The Gray Tower is quite extraordinary. All the prominent people in Hedong City are afraid of the Gray Tower."

But the gray building should at least be reasonable.

I don't believe Mr. Zhuang will act recklessly; otherwise, arrogance will inevitably lead to disaster.

Seeing that threats were ineffective, Zhuang Baiqing had no choice but to back down: "What do you want in return for joining the Gray Tower?"

Ye Cheng said, "President Zhuang, since you've invited me to join Gray Tower, you should at least tell me what I need to do and what I can get in return."

Zhuang Baiqing hadn't really thought about this issue properly.

She considered herself to be quite good-looking, only slightly inferior to Shen Qingrou, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Hedong City.

As long as she extended an olive branch, she felt that Ye Cheng would definitely fall at her feet.

She never expected Ye Cheng to be so calm and negotiate with her.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "After joining Gray Tower, you only need to help me with my daily affairs."

You're quite capable; you can help Gray Tower improve its combat power.

If anyone dares to offend Gray Tower, you'd better give them a good beating.

Of course, Gray Tower won't treat you unfairly. Besides getting me, you can also use Gray Tower's resources.

The Gray Building has value to Ye Cheng, but its background is too mysterious. If he were a lone wolf, he wouldn't need to care so much.

However, he also had to protect Shen Qingrou, so when making a choice, his first consideration was Shen Qingrou's safety.

"Mr. Zhuang, can you tell me the true origin of the Gray Building?"

Zhuang Baiqing blinked: "Okay, but you have to marry me first."

Well, I knew this would happen.

Ye Cheng had no choice but to say, "If Gray Tower wants to cooperate with me, I will agree."

But I will not agree to join the Gray Building.

"Cooperation?" Zhuang Baiqing sneered. "What do you think Gray Tower needs you for?"

I want you as a person, not a lukewarm business relationship.

Ye Cheng smiled faintly: "President Zhuang really doesn't think that Gray Building can control everything in Hedong City, does he?"

Zhuang Baiqing raised an eyebrow slightly: "Otherwise what!"

Ye Cheng asked, "Does Mr. Zhuang know what the relationship is between the city lord and the Chen Group?"

Zhuang Baiqing was slightly taken aback: "What kind of relationship could there be? It's just a normal relationship."

Ye Cheng shook his head: "I heard that the city lord visited Gray Tower once."

I bet the video about Zhanyue Company that's been circulating online was filmed in the gray building.

Guess why the city lord came to the Gray Tower to rescue Li Zhanyue.

Zhuang Baiqing's beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment. She couldn't understand how Ye Cheng knew such a secret.

"Could there be more to this story?"

Ye Cheng said, "According to my investigation, the person behind the Chen Group is the city lord."

Everything Chen Jinrong did was probably at the behest of the city lord.

Zhuang Baiqing asked incredulously, "What evidence do you have to prove that the Chen Group is backed by the city lord?"

Ye Cheng knew that if he couldn't give a reasonable answer today, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Gray Building easily.

So he said, "To be honest, I'm a hacker."

For a fleeting moment, Zhuang Baiqing suspected that Ye Cheng was the masked man who threw Li Zhanyue at the entrance of the gray building.

But now that Ye Cheng says he's a hacker, Zhuang Baiqing has given up on the idea.

"Are you a hacker?"

"I can make all the surveillance cameras in Hedong City my eyes."

Zhuang Baiqing sneered: "I don't believe it!"

Ye Cheng said, "It's okay if you don't believe me. All you need is a computer, Mr. Zhuang, and I can demonstrate it to you."

So Zhuang Baiqing actually handed her laptop to Ye Cheng: "Fine, I'd like to see what you're capable of."

Ye Cheng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "This girl is really bold. How did she become the manager of the Gray Building and actually hand over her personal computer to a hacker?"

"Then don't blame me for tampering with your computer!"

Ye Cheng took the computer and quickly operated it. Ten minutes later, the surveillance footage of the City Lord's Mansion and the Gray Building appeared on the computer screen.

"Please take a look, Mr. Zhuang."

Zhuang Baiqing stared at the computer screen and made a phone call to Seventeen: "Go outside for a walk."

In no time at all, Seventeen appeared on the computer screen.

Zhuang Baiqing now completely believed Ye Cheng.

"Wan Xinghuai, that old fox, is really good at hiding his true intentions!"

Fortunately, I didn't hand Li Zhanyue over to him.

It's a major taboo for officials to engage in business; isn't he afraid of being investigated in the capital?!

Ye Cheng snorted coldly: "Of course he was afraid, but he couldn't resist the temptation of money, so he did it so discreetly."

Most bad people take chances, but there are no walls that can't be sealed in this world.

"Is Mr. Zhuang going to report him?"

Zhuang Baiqing chuckled and looked at Ye Cheng meaningfully: "Why do you think Gray Tower has such a superior position in Hedong City?"

At this moment, one must be humble. Ye Cheng humbly asked, "Why?"

Zhuang Baiqing said, "Because Gray Tower never interferes in government affairs."

Whether he is good or bad, it has nothing to do with Gray Building.

We at Gray Tower only ask about business, not officials.

Therefore, the government has no jurisdiction over us.

Ye Cheng asked bluntly, "The Gray Tower commits crimes and the government has no jurisdiction over you?"

Zhuang Baiqing raised an eyebrow: "Do you have some misunderstanding about Gray Building?"

What does it mean to commit crimes?

We only seek profit, not death.

Ye Cheng snorted: "I don't believe it."

If you hadn't acted so domineeringly, how could you have gained a foothold in Hedong City?

"President Zhuang seems gentle; she probably wouldn't do something so vicious. I'm just afraid the person behind her isn't so kind-hearted."
