However, Sun Lei claimed that he did not have enough money and wanted more funds from Blue Fox. Xu Lin had no choice but to continue the board meetings.
In the end, under everyone’s unanimous decision, they allocated some more money to Speedy Express. They could not give the money to Speedy all at once, though. They would allocate Sun Lei another sum every time he completed a project.
Although Sun Lei was a little worried that this decision was not very stable, he still accepted it in the end.
By the time Yin Xun returned from her business trip, Speedy Express had yet to finish upgrading. At the moment, they were only lowering the rates, hoping to compete with Yin Xun’s express delivery with a lower price.
For users, cheapness was the most important thing. Although they knew that the express delivery was not good in many aspects, it was cheap and quickly attracted many merchants.
Moreover, in order to increase activity, Speedy Express finally stopped giving Xintao merchants different treatment. Even Xintao merchants had the same price as others.
This was also a huge advantage. In these ten days, Speedy Express was actually able to hold the upper hand. The few Blue Fox managers who had just benefited from the price thought that they could continue like this and not need to spend any more money to build the warehouses.
What Sun Lei was worried about finally happened. He was afraid that Blue Fox would change its mind and stop the investment. Sun Lei said that if Blue Fox went back on their word halfway, they would directly sue them in court and no longer cooperate with Blue Fox.
This was already considered a threat. If Speedy Express no longer cooperated with Blue Fox, then Zhongtong alone would not be able to bear as much traffic as Xintao’s deliveries. Blue Fox had no choice but to continue supporting Speedy Express’s reform.
Regarding the changes made by Blue Fox, there was no response from Xintao.
The investors were very pleased with themselves. They thought that Xintao finally had no more tricks to play. They felt that Yin Xun had run out of ideas and did not have to worry about her in the future. However, Xu Lin felt that something was amiss. He felt that Xintao was hiding something.
Therefore, he paid more attention to Xintao and sent people to investigate Yin Xun’s recent whereabouts.
Not many people knew about Yin Xun’s business trip this time. Cheng She knew about it, but he did not tell Si Fan about it. Si Fan thought that Yin Xun was worried about being suppressed by Blue Fox. Every time he called Cheng She to ask about Xintao, he would not forget to mock Yin Xun.
In the afternoon, at the villa in the suburbs…
Ever since Yin Xun left, Fang Yao had been counting the days. Yin Xun had said that she would be away for three to four days, but she had not returned for ten full days.
Although he had been calling Yin Xun every day during this period, they barely spoke a few words each time he called.
Also, how could a phone call compare to a face-to-face meeting? He had been rather absent-minded for the past few days.
He even wondered if Yin Xun was really busy or if she had something else to do at the same time, such as finding a man. When he realized what he was thinking, he was amused by himself for actually worrying about such a thing.
Originally, he could have sent someone to keep an eye on Yin Xun, but he did not want to do so. Perhaps, when Yin Xun returned, he could ask her indirectly.
The butler had been watching Fang Yao’s expression from the side. When he saw Fang Yao’s somewhat defeated look, he kept laughing secretly.
He did not expect that one day, his young master would also show such a childlike expression. He had taken care of Fang Yao for more than 20 years, but this was the first time he had seen him like this.
He was sure that Fang Yao liked Yin Xun more than he knew.
Fang Yao held his phone and looked at the caller ID. He wanted to call Yin Xun again. Yesterday, Yin Xun said that she would be back today or tomorrow. He did not know when exactly that would be. He wanted to call and ask but was afraid that Yin Xun would be annoyed if he called too often.
The butler watched Fang Yao pick up his phone from time to time. Fang Yao would glance at it and put it down again. After a while, he picked it up again. The phone interface was always Yin Xun’s contact number. The butler immediately knew what Fang Yao was thinking.
He smiled and said, “Young Master, I have not seen Miss Yin for a long time. 1 miss her. Why don’t you help me call her and ask her when she will be back? We can send a chauffeur to pick her up. There were a lot of people at the airport and it might not be easy to get a taxi.”
Fang Yao glanced at the butler indifferently and said, “Since you miss her, I’ll call and ask for you.”
The butler nodded with a smile.
He knew that Fang Yao wanted to make a call but was embarra.s.sed. Nevertheless, he could not understand why Fang Yao was usually so fearless and seemingly infallible, yet he was so afraid to call Yin Xun.
Since Fang Yao did not dare to make a move, he would help him. He really missed Yin Xun anyway.
Seeing that Fang Yao was on the phone, the butler tactfully left.
However, just as the butler reached the door, he suddenly said in surprise, “Young Master, ATiss Yin is back!”
