The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

Bai Ye smiled at the two of them, then followed behind Andy.

"Interesting, very interesting." Bao Yifan looked at Andy's dashing figure and laughed, "It's been a long time since I've met a woman who treats me like this, President Tan, I like her!"

“Boss Bao!” Tan Zongming said calmly, “You may not know, but let me remind you again, Andy already has a boyfriend, and they have a very good relationship. I hope you won’t bother her.”

"Mr. Tan, what are you thinking?" Bao Yifan smiled and said, "When I said I liked her, I only liked Ms. Andy's style of doing things. She is a person who can really get things done. Don't misunderstand."

Although the market value of Bao's Group is not much less than that of Tan Zongming's Chengxuan Group, Tan Zongming's strength is still slightly ahead of Bao's Group.

For example, the Chengxuan Group is based in Shanghai, while the Bao Group is based in other parts of the country. This is similar to the difference between officials in the capital and local officials in ancient times. Even if they were of the same rank, officials in the capital would be three ranks higher than local officials. Why? Because they were located in the central government and had more opportunities to come into contact with the emperor, nobles and important officials, which naturally increased their chances of being promoted.

"Is that so?" Tan Zongming looked at Bao Yifan suspiciously and said, "It'd better be true. I'm not trying to scare you. If you don't want to end up with a bloody head, then you shouldn't make Andy your target. She's not an ordinary woman."

Bao Yifan didn't argue with Tan Zongming. Only after Tan Zongming left did he curl the corners of his mouth into a slight smile, appearing rather wicked and arrogant.

"Perfect timing, I'm not an ordinary man either!"

He gave Tan Zongming face, but that didn't mean he could be scared into trembling by Tan Zongming's few words. He wasn't easily frightened.

Andy and Bai Ye arrived outside the hotel.

Bai Ye went to get his car, and Andy stayed at the hotel entrance to wait for him.

"Miss Andy!"

A voice that sounded like a quack's but was actually quite charming rang out behind Andy.

When she turned around, she saw Bao Yifan standing in front of her again.

"This is my other business card."

Bao Yifan, believing himself to be exceptionally charming, handed Andy a designer brand:

"The private kind..."

Andy glanced at Bao Yifan indifferently and said:

"Young Master Bao, I advise you to behave yourself and not go too far. I'm not afraid to tell you, my boyfriend has a background in traditional martial arts. If you don't want to be beaten half to death, you'd better keep your little schemes to yourself."

"What era are we living in? What kind of skills can one possibly have..."

Bao Yifan chuckled and was about to speak again when he suddenly sensed something was wrong. Two beams of light shone directly into his eyes, making them feel quite blinding. At the same time, a powerful engine roared, clearly heading straight for him.

He saw Bai Ye sitting in the driver's seat, driving the car, his eyes unusually indifferent, as if he wanted to die together with him.

"Don't come any closer!" Bao Yifan was startled and instinctively backed away. His steps were out of sync, and he lost his balance, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

"Crench--!"

Bai Ye drove his car and stopped right in front of Bao Yifan.

Bao Yifan felt the tip of his nose just touch the car's bumper.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Bao?"

Bai Ye, with a faint smile on his face, rolled down the car window and said:

"Why are you still sitting on the ground? Get up! Didn't you just catch a cold? The ground is damp. If you keep sitting there, your voice might not just be a hoarse duck's voice anymore, it might become a eunuch's voice! I don't want to see you, Little Bao, with your orchid finger raised, that's too much of an eyesore."

"you……"

Bao Yifan glared angrily at Bai Ye.

But a wave of fear washed over me.

Is this person in front of me crazy?

The car was lurching violently, and now that it was so close, wasn't he afraid? What if he made a mistake braking and ended up killing himself?

"Andy, get in the car."

Bai Ye didn't bother to look at Bao Yifan's disheveled appearance, but instead gently called out to Andy.

"Ok."

Andy walked to the passenger side of the car, opened the door, and looked at Bao Yifan, who was still sitting on the ground. She couldn't help but smile and said:

"Mr. Bao, I'm sorry to have made you laugh. My boyfriend is a passionate person and easily impulsive, unlike someone as magnanimous and composed as you, Mr. Bao."

Once Andy was settled, Bai Ye drove off like an arrow, quickly disappearing from Bao Yifan's sight.

At this moment, Bao Yifan's bodyguards realized what was happening and quickly helped Bao Yifan up.

"Practicing martial arts? A man of passion?" Bao Yifan pushed away the bodyguard's support, looked in the direction Bai Ye and Andy had left, and cursed, "These things are outdated! Do you really think this is an era where whoever can fight is powerful? You're just a martial artist. If you mess with me, I have plenty of ways to make you suffer!"

Over the years, Bao Yifan has relied on his very wealthy family background and somewhat attractive appearance to seduce many women. However, Andy's temperament, ability, and appearance are completely different from the ordinary women he has encountered before.

So even after hearing that Andy already had a boyfriend, Bao Yifan didn't want to give up. It was just a boyfriend, why should he make things difficult for himself? If it was dignified, he would give him some money and make him leave Andy obediently. If it wasn't dignified... then he could help him be dignified.

A good woman is not something everyone is entitled to.

But to his surprise, Bai Ye was so reckless that he lost a lot of face.

You think you're worthy of stealing my woman? You think you're worthy of me, Bao Yifan?

Bao Yifan made a harsh statement:

"Kid, aren't you supposed to be good at martial arts and have a lot of guts? I'll wait and see how you end up licking my shoes!"

Chapter 279 Shorting the Bao Group

"Ah!"

As Bai Ye drove Andy home, a cold smile appeared on his face.

It's obvious that Bao Yifan has his eye on Andy, and he's determined to have her.

Of course, the rich kids aren't stupid, and they certainly won't offend people casually, but their politeness is reserved for those of equal status and those they can't afford to offend.

You're just an ordinary citizen with no power or influence... do you even deserve to be called one?

In this world, the difference in energy between billionaires and ordinary people is so vast that it's practically a matter of dimensional reduction.

"Then I'll play along and see who can outplay whom!"

Bai Ye smiled softly.

For Bai Ye now, how much better is Bao Yifan than Qu Xiaoxiao?

It's easy to tidy them up all at once.

"Andy, you've been on Wall Street for so long. Shorting a company worth billions of RMB should be something you can handle, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye asked.

"You're thinking of... shorting the Bao Group?"

Andy wasn't stupid; he immediately guessed Bai Ye's purpose.

Bai Ye readily agreed: "That's right."

"Isn't it unnecessary to go to such lengths?" Andy said, half-laughing and half-crying. "Don't worry, I won't pay any attention to that flamboyant Mr. Bao."

She believes that Bai Ye is jealous and somewhat impulsive. Shorting a company with a market value of several billion is not such an easy thing.

“I’m not just jealous, but… this really is a great opportunity,” Bai Ye said. “I’ve received word that the Bao Group is about to be embroiled in its most intense internal strife. And with Bao Yifan being so ungrateful, it would be a shame if we didn’t teach him a lesson and make some money along the way.”

"Internal strife?"

“It’s Bao Yifan’s parents. They’re almost mortal enemies.” Bai Ye explained, “Bao Yifan’s mother didn’t ask many questions, but she helped her husband build his fortune from scratch and step by step into a wealthy family. But Bao Yifan’s father, after becoming rich, developed a philandering heart and betrayed his marriage.”

"From the day Bao Yifan's father betrayed their marriage, Mrs. Bao went into a frenzy. She was a stubborn person, and how could she accept being betrayed like that? So she started arguing with Bao Yifan's father all the time, until he filed for divorce."

“Originally, at this point, with the relationship gone, even if they divorced, she could have gotten more property. But she resolutely refused to divorce. She chose to mobilize all her relatives, block all the company's access roads with tractors, and even took hoes and sickles to fight Bao Yifan's father. Bao Yifan's father never dared to mention divorce again.”

"And this couple became complete enemies. They tormented each other. Bao's mother cursed Bao's father to get cancer every day, and when he actually got cancer, she was happy. As soon as Bao's father had surgery, she sent everyone away and paraded around in front of him with a smile. When there were outsiders around, she acted virtuous, and when there were no outsiders around, she was mean to Bao's father... Bao's father was almost driven to death by anger."

"Mrs. Bao didn't kill Mr. Bao with anger when he was ill. However, Mr. Bao held onto that hatred deeply. He lost all affection for his wife and waited for an opportunity to bring her down. In any marriage, everyone faces crises. But when those crises arrive, the closest person in the relationship doesn't offer help, but rather a fatal blow. How many people are lucky enough to escape unscathed…"

“This couple… is truly terrifying,” Andy said with lingering unease. “Mr. Bao’s infidelity is certainly despicable, but Mrs. Bao’s actions are too crazy and obsessive. She would rather suffer and go mad herself than let go of the past; she’s become pathological. Why torture each other like this? Wouldn’t a divorce, with her taking the lion’s share of the assets, and living an independent, autonomous, and happy life be a much better choice?”

"Because Mrs. Bao's thinking is also limited to the old society. She probably still thinks that a woman who loses her husband has accomplished nothing in her life, no matter what she does. She can't understand..."

Bai Ye coughed.

What he meant was that as long as Mrs. Bao had money, two or three billion RMB, she could have any kind of man she wanted... tall, short, fat, thin, handsome, ugly, whatever kind of man she liked, there would be people flocking to him.

However, it's not appropriate to say this in front of Andy.

"In short, the Bao Group is a huge powder keg right now, already on the verge of exploding. If we just give it a little push, it'll explode with a 'bang'," Bai Ye said. "We can also make a considerable profit by shorting the Bao Group, and it's not impossible that we could even swallow the Bao Group whole!"

"Wouldn't that make us seem too despicable?"

Andy hesitated for a moment, then asked.

"The business world is a battlefield without gunpowder, but it is still cruel," Bai Ye said with a smile. "If you, Andy, sympathize with your opponents, then you are not a qualified businessman."

Andy sighed helplessly and said:

"Okay, you're right, let's do it your way."

In fact, Andy isn't a morally fastidious person. You have to understand, Andy came from Wall Street. To sympathize with your opponents... that would be to underestimate Andy.

Perhaps in her daily life she is not shy about showing her love and compassion, but when it comes to business matters, she can instantly transform into an iron lady with no scruples. Liu Siming, who was scolded by her to the point of almost dying, is the best example of this.

After Bai Ye explained, Andy would never give up such a lucrative opportunity as the Bao Group with just a few words.

The reason for this was simply that her conscience bothered her a little, since it was a way to break up the relationship between husband and wife... In addition, Andy didn't want to show her ruthless side too much in front of Bai Ye. Who would want to be with a vicious woman?

So, persuaded by Bai Ye, Andy readily agreed.

“However, Bai Ye,” Andy cautioned, “the Bao Group has considerable assets. If we want to short them, we’ll need a significant amount of capital.”

"You don't need to worry about this problem." Bai Ye smiled confidently and said, "I'll raise the funds. If all else fails, we can bring Tan Zongming on board as well. We can cooperate and achieve a win-win situation! In addition to its market value of several billion, Bao's Group also has a lot of industrial assets that Chengxuan needs. I don't believe that Tan Zongming doesn't want to take over Bao's Group."

……

The next day.

Bai Ye accompanied Andy to meet Tan Zongming and discussed the plan.

Tan Zongming has no objection.

If he really had the chance to take a big piece of the pie from the Bao Group, why wouldn't he do it?
