Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 143 - 142: Best Substitute (4) - Second Update

"I’m not here to borrow money from you," Ye Shaohua placed a bank card on the table, "I still owe a little, and I will pay you back as soon as possible."

When Liao Yizhou saw that card, he was slightly stunned.

However, before he could dwell on his surprise for long, the mobile phone laid out on the table rang.

After answering the phone, he stood up abruptly from his chair, his usually astute expression for the first time undisguised, revealing genuine astonishment.

Then, Pu Zhehan entered from outside the private room and whispered a few words in Liao Yizhou’s ear, bringing him back to his senses.

"She... she’s back?" He sat down again, looking utterly disoriented.

Pu Zhehan nodded, glanced at Ye Shaohua, and spoke softly, "Yi Xian has already met her, and she even organized a high school reunion specifically for it. You’d better take this opportunity well."

At this point, Pu Zhehan paused, "You also need to take care of that person. Don’t let her run into Yijun, or who knows what she might do. If trouble does arise, it’ll be too late for regrets."

Liao Yizhou’s heart was full of thoughts of Zhao Yijun, hardly caring about anyone else.

He grabbed his coat and hurried out.

From start to finish, he didn’t spare a glance at Ye Shaohua standing beside him, nor did he take the bank card she had placed on the table.

Pu Zhehan observed her standing alone in the corner, looking somewhat lost. He was about to leave, but the sight of her expressionless, somewhat cold side profile made him stop in his tracks for some reason.

"This is how it is in our circle," he shrugged, "Don’t take yourself too seriously, and if you leave now, you might still leave a good impression in Yizhou’s heart."

Ye Shaohua picked up the card that Liao Yizhou hadn’t taken, and looked toward Pu Zhehan, "Don’t I even have the right to ask why? He’s my boyfriend, don’t I deserve to know why I should leave him?"

This question made Pu Zhehan pause in the midst of lighting his cigarette.

He looked into the clear eyes of the girl in front of him, unaffected by the complexity of their circle.

"Boyfriend? You think you’re dating?" Pu Zhehan watched the almost naive nod of the girl in front of him, and for a moment, felt the urge to laugh.

"Then why do you think he gave you two hundred thousand?" Pu Zhehan took a drag of his cigarette, "Or do you think you’re worth that amount?"

Ye Shaohua pursed her lips and nodded slightly, "I see, I understand now."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

The moment she turned around, the sorrow on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp gleam at the bottom of her eyes.

Just then, her phone rang. It was the manager of the Investment Firm.

"Miss Ye, do you have time right now?" The manager was also a well-known figure in the investment circle, a veritable financial wizard whom many were queueing up to hire for managing their wealth.

Over the years, the amount of funds that had passed through his hands had reached over a billion.

"What’s the matter?" Ye Shaohua had not taken any other part-time jobs these days, having just posted her financial management services at the Investment Firm.

Thanks to her unique approach, the manager had let her join him on a big project involving 20 million in funds.

Right now, the capital turnover looked good, and they had made 5 million already, meaning they could take home a commission of several hundred thousand out of the 5% share.

Having worked with her, these managers were completely won over by Ye Shaohua and secretly thought she might be a financial giant from some foreign school. Now they wanted to collaborate with her on another big project.

"Fenghua Group?" Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes. She had seen this company’s name in the plot—it was Yongteng Group’s domestic competitor, "Set up a time, and we’ll talk."

In terms of assets alone, Fenghua Group was much bigger than Yongteng Group.

Put it like this, Liao Yizhou could make waves in Imperial City’s business circle, but Fenghua Group had influence even in M Country. It was one of the first domestic groups to go international, contributing far more to the GDP than Yongteng Group could.

This time, the capital operators at Fenghua Group had taken notice of Ye Shaohua’s ability for short-term liquidation, and hence they reached out to the manager.

"Shaohua, do you feel like Manager Zhao is watching you?" The next day at work, the dormitory boss saw Ye Shaohua printing documents and carried a pile of files over to print as well.

She whispered.

Ye Shaohua knew that Zhao Yijun must be aware of her by now, but her face betrayed nothing as she handed the printed documents to the boss, "What are you thinking? Why would she pay attention to a little newbie like me?"

The boss thought about it and agreed. There seemed no connection between Ye Shaohua and Manager Zhao.

It must have been her own overthinking.

"Manager Zhao, do you know Shaohua?" The HR department head, seeing Zhao Yijun glance at Ye Shaohua again, couldn’t help but ask.

This time Zhao Yijun didn’t deny it, but smiled with a profound meaning, "I just happen to know a few things about her."

Even though she was just a stand-in, the stand-in Liao Yizhou found was too mediocre, merely an intern. It seemed Liao Yizhou hadn’t really focused on her. She wasn’t even allowed through Yongteng’s doors.

The HR department took note of Zhao Yijun’s expression, then turned to glance at Ye Shaohua, remembering this new young person.

Zhao Yijun was different from the regular employees; she was a specially invited planner. She didn’t need to clock in every day; coming in late or leaving early was common for her, and no one in the company could object because she had the privilege of being a big shot.

She left early today as well, not for any particular reason but for a high school reunion.

"It’s still the school beauty who has the most pull," Yi Xian had invited people who were well-connected from high school, and one girl winked at Zhao Yijun, "You know, it’s been seven years since we graduated, and in all this time, CEO Liao hasn’t attended a single reunion. But as soon as you’re back, he immediately shows up."

All the classmates knew about their past; Liao Yizhou had made such a big fuss chasing Zhao Yijun back in the day, even alarming the Principal.

No one expected that the once unruly young master of the Liao Family would turn out to be such a devoted lover.

And nobody had imagined that the Liao Family, which was on the verge of falling apart, would thrive under his leadership—truly, life is unpredictable.

The group was aware that Liao Yizhou had come just for Zhao Yijun, giving them some private time.

"CEO Liao, Miss Ye, didn’t expect both of you to be here..." Liao Yizhou was about to say something when a somewhat chubby middle-aged man spotted him and began to speak with excitement.
