On the other side, the man in black, carrying several secretly taken photos, finally had work to report.
Looking at the photos of Ou Yunchen with women on both arms, Xu Shuming burst into laughter.
Xu Shuming: "Well done! How could such an outstanding man not have a weakness!!!"
Man in black: "Your subordinate is incompetent. After following for so long, we still can't find any connection between him and Mrs. Su."
Xu Shuming: "You are indeed incompetent..."
The man in black lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
Xu Shuming: "However, it's not your fault. Either he's too cunning, so much so that his disguise is seamless, or..."
Man in black: "Your subordinate deserves punishment."
Xu Shuming patted the man in black on the shoulder, telling him to relax.
Xu Shuming: "Don't be nervous. If you ask me, he's not that capable. Isn't he just exposing a human weakness?"
"So, he and Su Hui might have just happened to save her, or Su Hui, like other women, just likes Ou Yunchen's handsome face."
Man in black: "But Ou Yunchen was rumored to have Athena as his bartender. Although it's unconfirmed, it's not impossible that he built his fortune through women..."
Xu Shuming raised his leg and kicked the man in black, sending him sprawling on the ground.
Anger flared in Xu Shuming's eyes. He truly couldn't stand anyone saying he got rich through women.
Xu Shuming: "If Ou Yunchen got rich through women, that's his skill. The important thing is that he seized the opportunity, and he knows how to use and manage it! He's a talented person!"
Man in black: "Your subordinate knows his mistake."
The man in black immediately understood why Xu Shuming disliked such words.
Everyone knew that he had risen from being a son-in-law of the Su family to become the controller of the Su Corporation. He must have understood Ou Yunchen's situation and felt empathy for someone in a similar boat.
Xu Shuming: "But he's not my friend yet. His acquisition of Datong is a threat to the Su Corporation! I must know what he's thinking!!!"
Man in black: "Also, I've overheard something else..."
Xu Shuming: "Speak!"
The man in black hesitantly relayed what the proprietress had told him. Xu Shuming was stunned at first, then burst into laughter: "He's truly an interesting person! Well done. Women are like water; water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it..."
Xu Shuming began to scheme. Initially, he felt he couldn't understand Ou Yunchen. Even if he considered him a rival, he had to know if he was qualified to fight him.
If women were this businessman's weakness, could such a weakness truly be exploited by him?
How could he get his people close to Ou Yunchen?
As soon as the secretary put down the coffee, Xu Shuming immediately took her hand, staring intently at her.
Seeing that there was an outsider, the secretary shyly feigned resistance.
Secretary: "What are you doing? Don't be like this."
Xu Shuming exerted force and tore open the secretary's shirt collar. The man in black quickly lowered his head.
Xu Shuming gazed at her with the appreciation of an art connoisseur, from top to bottom.
Xu Shuming: "Damn, an A4 waist..."
Just as the man in black was about to leave, Xu Shuming roared.
Xu Shuming: "Look, it's her! Doesn't she fit Ou Yunchen's taste!!!"
The man in black dared not look. Xu Shuming grabbed his chin, forcing him to confirm together.
Secretary: "Mr. Xu, what are you going to do?"
Xu Shuming: "I've kept you for so long, you should do something for me!"
Secretary: "I don't understand..."
Xu Shuming waved his hand, and the man in black immediately left the room.
When only Xu Shuming and the secretary were left in the room...
Xu Shuming: "Crystal, how long have you been with me?"
Crystal: "Ten years."
Xu Shuming: "Ten years. I can't let you down. You've given me your best years. I will definitely give you what you want this time!"
Crystal threw herself into Xu Shuming's arms. She had waited ten years. Xu Shuming had brought her back when she was eighteen, making her the secretary who had been with him the longest.
Crystal: "I don't care. As long as you love me, I can be without a title."
Xu Shuming: "No! I told you, I've wanted to divorce Su Hui for a long time. If the Su Corporation wasn't fully mine yet, how could I be willing to hand over the Su Corporation I meticulously built back to her!"
Crystal: "I can wait..."
Xu Shuming: "Don't wait anymore. I can't wait for you to become Mrs. Xu."
Crystal: "Darling... Are you serious?"
Xu Shuming: "Yes, but I need your help."
Crystal: "What do you want me to do?"
Xu Shuming: "I want you to get close to Ou Yunchen, become his woman!"
Crystal: "How can you ask me to do such a thing!"
Xu Shuming tilted Crystal's chin up, and looking at the woman with tear-filled eyes, he felt a surge of guilt.
Xu Shuming had countless women, and as he aged, only the devoted Crystal remained by his side.
But he had never truly loved this woman. They had each sought what they needed ten years ago, and the freshness of a woman would have long since faded over a decade.
When he heard about Ou Yunchen's particular preferences for women, it seemed to stir Xu Shuming's sensitive nerves, as if he had found a signal to reignite his vigor.
And this 28-year-old girl before him, he was tired of her. Ten years of the same woman, it was time for a change!
However, before replacing her, he should extract her last bit of value!
Xu Shuming: "Crystal, I've encountered some difficulties recently. I suspect Ou Yunchen will become an obstacle to me ousting Su Hui, but I have no evidence..."
Xu Shuming's sincere gaze was irresistible to the woman in his arms. She had grown accustomed to obeying this man implicitly.
Even if Xu Shuming gave her the slightest illusion of becoming Mrs. Xu, she would leap into a fiery pit for him!
Xu Shuming: "I need your help because he really likes women like you. If it weren't for wanting to get Su Hui's shares as soon as possible, I wouldn't want to send you to another man."
Crystal: "But I'm your woman. I don't want to be with other men..."
Xu Shuming: "I promise you, as soon as we find Ou Yunchen's weakness, I'll bring you back immediately. I swear, I won't let any other man touch you!"
Crystal: "I need to consider it..."
Xu Shuming kissed Crystal fiercely. She knew she was about to sacrifice herself again. Xu Shuming waved his arm, knocking all the items on the table to the floor.
The temperature of the tabletop began to rise. Xu Shuming repeatedly assured Crystal that the position of Mrs. Xu was hers, which made Crystal lose her rationality.
What Xu Shuming wanted, he had to get. When Crystal could no longer bear it, she finally verbally agreed to go to Ou Yunchen. At that moment, Xu Shuming finally let Crystal go.
