<h4>Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085 Too Much</h4>


    Li Shiyue’s eyes were tightly fixed on the entrance of the hall, anxiously awaiting Mr. Shang’s friend surnamed Lei, not daring to rx for a moment, though her heart couldn’t help feeling a bit restless.


    Shang Wenshu was the industry head of Shangyun Province, but they still habitually referred to him as Mr. Shang.


    The pir of industry for Shangyun Province’s corporate sector was Dacheng Group. Not long before, Shang Wenshu had dismissed the former general manager and took over the role himself.


    The previous general manager of Dacheng Group, for reasons unknown, took advantage of Shang Wenshu’s absence on an inspection tour to start a conflict with the imposing Zhang Family from the neighboring province and even went as far as to initiate hostilities on his own initiative.


    This caused the Zhang Family to unleash their wrath,unching fierce attacks on Dacheng Group and its enterprises in Shangyun.


    War broke out in an instant.


    Speaking of the enterprise strength of the Zhang Family, it was indeed terrifying.


    Banding together all the various enterprises within Shangyun Province, they stood no chance and were suppressed and beaten every step of the way without the ability to fight back.


    In just two short weeks, all enterprises including Dacheng Group were in turmoil, like leaves in a storm.


    Shang Wenshu had no choice but to report to the corporation for help, and the group sent an administrative assistant to understand the situation beforehand, who was none other than Sister Zhao.


    After Zhao arrived, the situation seemed to ease somewhat.


    The Zhang Family didn’t appear to truly want to wipe them out, and Mr. Shang also found an influential friend who agreed toe for mediation today.


    If the mediation is sessful, they might ovee the difficulty. If not, who knows if the Zhang Family will continue their actions?


    This also had Li Shiyue extremely worried.


    In fact, Shang Wenshu was a highly capable person and even more adept at discerning people’s character. Li Shiyue was young when he promoted her, naturally not because of her exceptional appearance, but because the girl had the capability and a sincere dedication.


    Especially thetter point, Shang Wenshu valued it greatly and even trained her to be his secretary, recing the previous assistant.


    Since the Zhang Family was also willing, the chances of a sessful mediation today seemed quite high.


    However, Li Shiyue still didn’t have a good feeling about it.


    Because early in the morning, the Zhang Family’s representative sent a message, stating that the young master leading the delegation had specifically requested the location for the meeting and lunch, along with various other demands.


    Shang Wenshu didn’t dare dy, and early in the morning while there was still time, he went to the restaurant they demanded to make reservations and arrangements, even Sister Zhao went along.


    "I hope Mr. Shang and Sister Zhao cane back soon, I hope today’s mediation goes smoothly, and I hope the Zhang Family won’t be too aggressive," Li Shiyue prayed silently.


    However, when Shang Wenshu first received the phone call and learned who the Zhang Family had sent as the negotiating representative, his face turned grave.


    Zhao had asked, and Li Shiyue clearly remembered how Shang Wenshu had answered.


    "I’ve heard of that young master of the Zhang Family! In his thirties, extremely capable and exceptionally ruthless. He’s sessfully held his own and even engaged in several business battles, making a name for himself in the business world, especially in real estate," Shang Wenshu sighed heavily, "This time, it won’t be easy!"


    "I hope my friend can be powerful enough. After all, it was he who convinced the Zhang Family to attend this talk!"


    That’s what he said, but Shang Wenshu did not take any of the other party’s requests lightly, rushing to the restaurant early in the morning to make preparations, trying his very best.


    Li Shiyue sighed softly, calming her mind while waiting.


    Suddenly, her eyes lit up.


    Two strangers entered through the main door of the hall, heading straight for the front desk here, and even made eye contact with her from a distance.


    One was a man, almost forty years old, very tall, with a well-proportioned body and a handsome appearance, carrying a briefcase.


    The other, a woman, young and beautiful with an even better figure than Li Shiyue herself, exuded an allure and a touch of mour that Li Shiyue couldn’t match.


    Behind the man and woman followed two men in suits and sunsses, looking like bodyguards or perhaps attendants.


    "That Mr. Lei should be younger, right?" Li Shiyue sized up the man, uncertain, and hurriedly approached.


    These people seemed out of the ordinary. Whether they were from the Zhang Family or not, it was better for her to ask, to avoid any mishaps.


    "Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Li Shiyue asked with a smile, very politely.


    Between the two, the woman nced at her coldly and frowned, "Who are you? Go, call your manager over here!"


    Her tone was very domineering and impolite, as if Li Shiyue had no right to speak to them.


    Li Shiyue was momentarily taken aback and felt her temper re.


    However, considering that thepany was in turmoil, she still suppressed her emotions and managed a smile, "I am in charge. I’m Mr. Shang Wenshu’s secretary. Do you know Mr. Shang Wenshu..."


    Li Shiyue had no intention of unting, she just wanted to mention that Shang Wenshu was currently serving as the general manager of Dacheng Group, but his status was far superior to that of a general manager.


    She was simply worried they might not be aware of this.


    "Heh, Shang Wenshu." The woman scoffed, mumbling under her breath, not loudly, but just loud enough for Li Shiyue to hear.


    "We’re here to find him," the man eyed Li Shiyue with a hint of covetousness, but hid it well.


    "You’re here for Mr. Shang?" Li Shiyue was startled.


    To call him by his name so directly!


    "May I ask your names?" Li Shiyue asked, her displeasure barely concealed, yet still she spoke cautiously.


    "My name is Wang Yingxue, and his is Liu Beicheng," the woman dered proudly. "We are Mr. Zhang Yudong’s assistants!"


    Zhang Yudong!


    That young master from the Zhang Family!


    Li Shiyue’s heart sank.


    Why had the Zhang Family peoplee!


    Hadn’t they said they would arrive at eleven?


    Now, Mr. Shang’s friend, Mr. Lei, the mediator, hadn’t arrived yet, and they were already here!


    Li Shiyue even felt a sense of panic.


    The Zhang Family had caught them off guard.


    Wang Yingxue smiled unkindly, her words still discourteous, "You know now? Where is your Mr. Shang? We’re looking for him."


    The implication in Wang Yingxue’s words was clear: they expected Mr. Shang Wenshu toe and greet them!


    Li Shiyue was quite displeased.


    Their Mr. Shang, after all, was a provincial industrial manager, controlling more than thirtypanies, and now these two assistants dared to call him by his name and seemed to expect him toe out and receive them personally!


    The Zhang Family was overstepping!


    Li Shiyue seethed inwardly, her expression frosting over slightly.


    Of course, she couldn’t allow her momentary anger to ruin everything. Taking a slight breath topose herself, she said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang Yudong made a request early this morning, and Mr. Shang went to make the arrangements personally, as a gesture of sincerity."


    This should be respect enough; even the Zhang Family couldn’t find fault with that, Li Shiyue thought to herself.


    "Already went to make arrangements?" Wang Yingxue’s eyes widened, and she suddenly eximed, "Who allowed you to make arrangements on your own, acting recklessly! Even if we had requested specific dishes, drinks, utensils, and music, did you confirm the details with us? Even if you didn’t know, you could’ve called to ask! You don’t know anything, and you just went ahead and did it! If our young master isn’t happy, if you spoil his mood, can you bear the responsibility?"


    "Our young master has high expectations, so we came over first," Liu Beicheng also seemed anxious, "Let’s hurry over there. If something is not right, they can change it."


    "I think they’ll have to change everything!" Wang Yingxue chuckled coldly. "Mr. Shang Wenshu’s taste, ha, I doubt it will be to our young master’s liking!"


    You people are too pretentious!


    Even if you’re from a prestigious family, lording your fussy whims over people, what’s the meaning of this!


    Li Shiyue’s temper finally got the better of her.


    "What are you standing there for, hurry up and show us the way," Wang Yingxue said angrily to Li Shiyue.


    With a cold face, Li Shiyue replied firmly but respectfully, "I’m terribly sorry, Miss Wang, but my role here is to receive guests, not to escort you. I need to wait for our guests, and I’m afraid I cannot leave."


    With such a defiant response, Wang Yingxue was furious.


    "How dare you, a mere assistant, speak to us like this! What kind of people does Mr. Shang Wenshu hire! You believe if we make just one call, we can have Mr. Shang Wenshu fire you!"


    Li Shiyue red back.


    Just then, she faintly overheard the security at the entrance asking someone’s name.


    "My surname is Bai."


    "My surname is Lin."


    "My surname is Lei!"


    Thest voice was especially deep and clear.


    Li Shiyue was immediately thrilled.


    Mr. Lei had arrived!


    "Ladies, please excuse me, I must go to receive a distinguished guest!"


    With a snort, Li Shiyue brushed past them and hurried to the entrance.
