Wen Qing pressed the voice call button and patiently waited for the person to pick up.

Three seconds later, someone answered.

Wen Qing turned on the speaker nervously.

“Can I help you with something?”

The person had only said a few words, but Wen Qing could recognize the voice.

She froze as if her pressure points had been struck. There was a lump in her throat, and she was momentarily speechless.

She scolded herself for being so useless.

He always shocked her into silence!

“Wen Qing, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Shang Yinghan continued talking.

Wen Qing struggled to speak. “Sir.”

“You don’t have to call me that,” Shang Yinghan replied.

“Mr. Shang,” Wen Qing said.

Shang Yinghan was speechless.

Shang Yinghan was sitting at the head of a conference room table. He had answered the phone in front of everyone. They heard him calling him “Mr. Shang.” He did not know if he should laugh or get angry. After a while, he decided to let it be. She could call him whatever she wanted now. One day, she would change her mind on her own.

If not for the serious conference, the people sitting at the table would probably react more openly.

Mr. Shang rarely answered the phone in the middle of a meeting. From his tone, it did not sound like an urgent call. He said, “Forget it, forget it.” The attendees told themselves not to think too much about their boss’s affairs.

…

Wen Qing really did not expect that this WeChat profile belonged to Shang Yinghan.

If she had known that, she would not have called him. However, now that he was on the line, she could not just hang up so rudely.

“Mr. Shang, that… I-I just…” She did not know how to explain.

“Do you have enough money?” Shang Yinghan asked her directly.

Wen Qing perked up like a startled rabbit. It was really him!

Wen Qing no longer needed to test him. She said, “Why did you transfer so much money to me? What are you doing?”

“Aren’t you short of money?” he asked in return.

Wen Qing’s tone became a little nonchalant. “Yes, I was short of money, but I didn’t expect you to transfer such a large sum to me at once. I can’t accept it.”

Shang Yinghan said, “Yes, you can.”

Wen Qing’s tone became very awkward again. “I really can’t accept it.”

“If I say that you can accept it, you can,” Shang Yinghan replied.

This time, Wen Qing did not know what to say.

She thought about how he had not said anything about compensation when they were at the hotel. Could this be a form of compensation?

When she thought about it this way, she realized that it made sense. So, Wen Qing said, “There’s no need to compensate me with such a large amount.”

“Compensation?” There was a smile in his voice.

“Isn’t it…?” Wen Qing asked, fidgeting with the phone.

“Wen Qing,” Shang Yinghan said. He sounded like he was trying to get her to say something. “What kind of compensation are you talking about?”

Wen Qing was speechless.

So, the sly fox was forcing her to say it out loud!

She would not!

“I won’t spend this money. I don’t like owing people.”

“You just said something about compensation. Do I owe you for some reason? Do you owe me?” The smile in his voice became more pronounced.

Wen Qing was speechless. She was truly at a loss to know what to say.

Why was he always forcing her to bring up what happened between them? She was a girl, so she obviously would not be brave enough to say it!

Moreover, she did not know what Shang Yinghan’s intentions were. Today, she had said that she wanted to break off her engagement to Shang Ke. What if he used this to threaten her? What if he prevented Shang Ke from breaking off the engagement?

Shang Yinghan probably guessed what she was thinking. He gave up on teasing her. “I’ll give you the money, and you can use it. It’s fine if you don’t use it. Invest in a foundation instead. If you don’t understand how money begets more money, you can ask me. I’ll teach you.”
