Chapter 70: Generous Reward

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Generous Reward

One million?

This sudden turn of events caught Su Yunzhou slightly off guard.

He hastily declined.

Seeing this, Ye Sen’s wife hurriedly said, "Mr. Su, we only have this one daughter. If anything terrible happened to her, what would we do! It’s a good thing you stepped in and saved her. This is just a token of our appreciation..."

Su Yunzhou shook his head again and refused. "Mr. Ye, Madam Ye, this is too generous. I can’t accept the money. Besides, I only did what I felt I had to do."

Dean Ma, who was standing nearby, watched this scene with a hint of confusion.

In his eyes, all heroic deeds were done either for fame or for profit.

This young man had braved danger and stepped forward to save many people; it was only natural for him to be rewarded.

He wondered, "Why refuse? It’s one million! And it’s a completely well-deserved reward. Why won’t he accept it?"

Just as both sides were locked in a stalemate, the ward door suddenly opened.

Liu Yiyi’s voice rang out.

"President Ye, it really is you?"

Ye Sen paused slightly, a look of recollection crossing his face. After a moment, he snapped back to reality and said, "You... you’re from Ruitu Design..."

"Liu Yiyi."

After introducing herself, she continued, "President Ye, we met at an exchange conference once."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Seeing Liu Yiyi’s somewhat respectful attitude, Su Yunzhou naturally guessed that this man who could drop a million on a whim was another major client.

Before long, the topic returned to expressing gratitude toward Su Yunzhou.

An idea suddenly struck Su Yunzhou. "President Ye, since we’re all acquaintances here, let’s skip the words of thanks. If it’s convenient for you, just look out for my sister a bit more."

"Your sister?"

Ye Sen narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

Afterward, he showered Su Yunzhou with another round of immense praise and gratitude.

It had to be said that these rich people were very particular about how they spoke. The words they used were just like the ones in TV dramas. Even though they all meant the same thing, they could express it in seven or eight different ways.

After a little while, seeing that everything that needed to be said had been said, Dean Ma ended the conversation under the pretext that the patient needed to rest.

Before leaving, Ye Sen said, "Su, whenever it’s convenient for you, let me treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. You can’t refuse this time."

"Okay!"

Su Yunzhou and Liu Yiyi walked them to the door.

After watching them leave, Su Yunzhou finally asked, "Yiyi, what’s President Ye’s background?"

Liu Yiyi looked utterly stunned. "You actually don’t know him?" she asked in return.

"Do I need to?" Su Yunzhou said casually.

"President Ye is one of Rongcheng’s Top Ten Outstanding Entrepreneurs. He single-handedly founded the Moriyama Mirai Group, which is involved in almost every industry. He’s a bona fide major entrepreneur." After explaining, Liu Yiyi asked again, "Do you never watch the news?"

"Uh..." Su Yunzhou shook his head. He really didn’t watch the news. He only occasionally watched Little Life’s weather forecast .avi persistence series.

"These big shots are just too far out of my reach," he added.

Liu Yiyi teased, "Far? They’re actively throwing money at you! Plus, I could tell that his precious daughter is really fond of you. Do you want to consider marrying into their family? You’d reach the pinnacle of life in one step..."

"Stop right there," Su Yunzhou said, looking at Liu Yiyi, whose mood had recovered slightly. "Marry into whose family? I think I’m perfectly fine right now. I have my sister to keep me company."

"Hmph!" Liu Yiyi snorted, but a small surge of delight blossomed in her heart.

The deeper she interacted with the man in front of her, the more she felt he was simply too outstanding. Although countless messy thoughts swirled in her mind, for now, at least, she could feel his sincerity.

The two returned to the ward.

Li Yan pointed at the TV and called out to them, "Look at this news report, quickly."

The two followed her voice and looked over.

On the screen, a press conference regarding the "Qingcheng Back Mountain Landslide Incident" was being held.

Several executives of the scenic area were facing inquiries from various media outlets.

They didn’t shirk their responsibilities, admitting frankly that there had been a management failure and a lapse in the maintenance of the scenic area’s facilities. They announced they would cover all the medical expenses of the injured and provide a certain amount of financial compensation.

Finally, they expressed their gratitude to the kindhearted people from all walks of life who had participated in the emergency rescue efforts at the time. They conveyed their heartfelt appreciation and admiration, particularly to the hero who wished to remain anonymous.

As the press conference ended, Liu Yiyi praised him and teased, "Mr. Hero, I’d like to interview you. What are your thoughts right now?"

Su Yunzhou smiled and replied, "No thoughts. I just feel a bit sleepy."

Li Yan looked at him, her eyes filled with an indescribable affection. "Mr. Su, thank you so much."

Su Yunzhou joked, "Don’t just thank me with words. When you recover, you have to treat me to a huge feast."

"Mhm! Okay!" Li Yan nodded, her gaze incredibly tender.

Seeing her best friend’s affectionate demeanor, Liu Yiyi teased, "Forget about the meal. Yanyan, you should just offer yourself to him to show your gratitude!"

Su Yunzhou’s eyes lit up. He really wanted to say, "I don’t mind. Both of you can show your gratitude together," but instead he said, "You’re so boring."

Li Yan blushed bright red. Looking at her unfiltered best friend, she rolled her eyes in helpless exasperation.

But what Liu Yiyi didn’t know was that this little joke of hers...

Would become reality in the not-so-distant future...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

Inside a Maybach heading back downtown, Ye Sen called one of his general managers.

"Yuan, do you work with Ruitu Design quite often?"

President Yuan was momentarily stunned upon receiving the call, but he immediately agreed. He began to wonder what the chairman’s intentions were.

President Ye continued, "I owe a favor to someone at their company named Liu Yiyi. In terms of future business dealings..."

Listening to the chairman’s instructions, President Yuan naturally didn’t dare to say much. He only asked one clarifying question.

"Chairman, the person you mentioned seems to be in charge of their HR department and isn’t involved in sales?"

"Is that a problem?"

"Understood, Chairman! I know what to do."

After hanging up, President Yuan’s first thought was that the beautiful young woman had found a sugar daddy in the chairman.

But then he felt it was highly unlikely. The chairman and his wife were deeply in love. He didn’t even employ a female secretary, and there had never been any scandals about him. At the same time, a trace of lingering fear crept into Yuan’s heart; he felt like he had been slightly offensive to that woman with his words before.

However, judging by the chairman’s tone just now, it probably wasn’t a major issue.

After thinking it over, he still felt that they must have had some sort of brief fling. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the chairman to call personally to give such instructions.

"Damn it!" he cursed under his breath. "I thought she was a proper woman, but to think she skyrocketed to the top like this! No wonder she rejected me."

Right at that moment, his subordinate, Sales Director Zhang, walked out of the bathroom with a swaying gait.

Although she was an older woman, under the dual enhancement of white stockings and a sheer black erotic lingerie set, she still managed to make both of his heads burn with desire.

Holding a small leather pointer, her voice carried a trace of unconventional authority.

"What are you thinking about, student? You’re not paying attention in class."

Hearing her voice, President Yuan shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his mind, and instantly got into character.

"Teacher Zhang, you look absolutely beautiful today."

"Hmph!"

"Focus on the class and stop daydreaming. You must study diligently for today’s biology lesson."

As she spoke, she sat on the chair and struck a seductive pose, a commanding tone in her voice.

"Come here and look closely. This is..."
