179 Cooperation (2/2)
After the shock, he thought about it with a frown, and he soon understood the key points. A paper company generally only had two uses: one, to con capital, and two, to create a cover. Money-laundering was not that uncommon among the high society, but most would launder the money through investing in movies or creating shell companies. This kind of system that required a transit system obviously was not something that was doable by one company or a person. Furthermore, the network was beyond San Lin City; the number was probably higher outside of San Lin City.
”Xu Jian is just a pawn; taking him down is merely removing the An family from the network. This won't influence them that much.” Ye Shuang brought up Xu Jian's background. ”The person ordering him most likely is also just the lowest level inside the organization. Xi Hwa Organization is their communication point in San Lin City.”
Ye Shuang did not want the situation to get complicated, but certain things would not go away even if one pretended that they were not there. Anthony was the type that liked adventure and excitement. If Ye Shuang set up surveillance at least she would know things were within her control. If she just allowed Anthony to do whatever he wanted, he might end up making some giant tragedy.
The constant harassment An Zixuan was facing meant that the enemy still had interest in An Corp. If they knew how to retreat after facing the loss, it would be a good thing, but what if they changed a combat tactic? Ye Shuang might not be lucky enough to know the person Xi Hwa Organization sent. Since An Zixuan now had a way to lure them into the open, naturally, the sooner they got this issue settled, the better. The safest solution was to chop off the claw that was reaching toward San Lin City through An Zixuan. After all, for this case, Anthony and An Zixuan were standing on the same side.
If it failed, it would not affect Ye Shuang that much; she just needed to ensure Anthony was safe and did not do anything extra when he was within her employment. It's so tired having an employee that has the tendency to go off rails… Next time, if Han Chu's friend tries to sneak in again, I gotta be careful… Best if there's an added bonus from Han Chu…
She thought about it, and the perfect smile still appeared on her face when she recovered. Ye Shuang raised her head and said, ”Since Mr. An already knows the details, I shall leave you two to hash out the details. And Tony…”
She turned to Anthony and turned the computer to him as well. ”This is the person that is managing Xi Hwa Organization. As you know, my partner knew Xu Jian once…”
Basically, Ye Shuang had been collecting private information on Xu Jian's uncle through other channels. Anthony's eyes widened. ”Wow, this is some cool inside information. There's even a private address. Xiao Shuang is amazing.”
Ye Shuang accepted the compliment internally while giving thanks to Little Brother Ye, who contributed a lot by befriending Auntie and Uncle Xu.
…
What An Zixuan and Anthony discussed next had nothing to do with Ye Shuang. After all, she was only responsible to make the introduction. With her changing genders every few days, it was hard for her to get involved in anything. Furthermore, it was about time for Lunar New Year. There was no business to be had. At most, An Zixuan softened his attitude to make the enemy think they had a chance to make use of him.
”Actually, a homosexual's thoughts are a more cautious than normal person's.”
Finally turning back into her female form, Ye Shuang returned home for dinner. Anthony filled her in on the cooperation with An Zixuan excitedly. Sister Shuang gave him face and listened to the all the details that she already knew. After Anthony rambled for quite some time, he concluded, ”Due to their paralogical thinking, they can pay attention to details that other males would normally miss and thus are more sensitive and patient.”
”Wait, are you praising An Zixuan?” Ye Shuang also concluded as she bit on the end of the chopsticks.
”Yes, he's not bad.” Anthony smiled as he placed his hands on his cheeks, then he added, ”Unfortunately, he's way over the tempering age, so he's not suitable for cultivation anymore. However, since he's in the business, there's still some advantage if he's interested in becoming a finance sniper.”
What are you planning to do to the man‽
Ye Shuang was silent. She had a feeling it would be a hard time for An Zixuan in the future. Anthony saw the suspicion on Ye Shuang's face and argued, ”Hey! I'm just thinking about our future. If the company has a good inheritor, we'll get a higher bonus, right?”
Speaking of bonus… Ye Shuang took out her phone to share this observation. ”Now that you mention it, I received the notice from the bank today saying I just received a transaction for 2,000,000. Why is there so much money‽”
”I changed the ratio of shares!” Anthony said proudly. ”The most important thing now is to stabilize the market. There's no need to put in such a great amount of money to stimulate expansion!”
Well done!
