The Reincarnated Goddess is Fierce

Chapter 705: Acquiring the Company

When the phone rang, Xia Xibei was still a little dizzy.

After it rang for a while, she finally came to her senses.

And at that moment, the two of them had already exchanged positions. She was underneath Qiao Yanjue, and her clothes were about to fall apart.

If the phone hadn’t rung, who knows what would have happened after that.

Qiao Yanjue pulled his hand out from under her clothes, gritting his teeth and cursing under his breath before standing up.

But he already looked woefully out of sorts, and his reaction was very

obvious.

Xia Xibei blushed as she looked at him. Standing up on her own, she walked over to the other couch and sat down, straightening her clothes in the process.

Qiao Yanjue took a few deep breaths before picking up the phone.

“What is it?” His voice was instantly cold and hard, scaring the person on the other end until they were trembling.

Whatever was said on the line, his expression wasn’t too good. He finally said, “Tell the other side, it’s not for sale!”

After saying that, he just hung up the phone.

He didn’t dare approach Xia Xibei but sat down on the sofa to calm his restless body.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Xibei hurried to find a topic so she could avoid the tension in the air.

“Someone wanted to buy a company under my name, but I said I wasn’t selling it.” Qiao Yanjue didn’t hide it from her.

“Acquire a company…” Xia Xibei’s expression was complicated.

He made it sound as if he was buying groceries; really, the world of the rich was different.

“Which company?”

Actually, Xia Xibei was just asking casually. After all, she didn’t know the specifics of Qiao Yanjue’s assets.

She had only asked this to make it less awkward, but to her surprise, Qiao Yanjue’s face changed slightly. It was a little strange.

This made her curious. “You can’t tell me?”

“It’s not that I can’t say…” Qiao Yanjue thought for a moment but finally admitted it decisively. “It’s SY Company.”

“SY company…?” Xia Xibei froze with a jerk. “Which company are you talking about?”

Wasn’t SY company the agency she was with now?

But the president of the company seemed to be a middle-aged man of forty! Since when did Qiao Yanjue have anything to do with SY?

Qiao Yanjue’s face reddened slightly and his eyes flickered a little. “You heard me right. It’s the SY company you are with.”

Xia Xibei couldn’t help but stare. “Since when did you have anything to do with our company?”

Qiao Yanjue felt a little embarrassed but still answered frankly. “I bought your company a few months ago.”

“A few months ago?” Xia Xibei wasn’t that easy to dismiss and got up to sit beside him. “When exactly was that?”

In fact, she had guessed it, but she wanted to hear it from him.

“It was… when you first went to the company.”

Xia Xibei thought back for a moment and finally remembered the situation.

“I remember… You seemed to have come to pick me up from work that day, right?”

But at that time, Qiao Yanjue said he was passing through.

Now it seemed that it wasn’t a side trip at all!

“Yes, it was that time.”

Since it was all said and done, Qiao Yanjue didn’t hide it and nodded frankly.

Hearing him admit it, Xia Xibei’s mood couldn’t help but fall into turmoil.

To acquire a company wasn’t something that could be done on impulse. It had to be planned over a period of time.

So that meant that Qiao Yanjue had started working on this matter before.

“You had thoughts about me at that time?” Xia Xibei’s thoughts swirled, her eyes fixed on him, and she couldn’t help but joke.

“That’s not true.” Qiao Yanjue shook his head. “At that time, I really only treated you like a younger sister.”
