"Ms. Shen, why are you here?"
Abe said softly and walked closer, and saw that Bonita was checking the relevant information of the whitening and anti-aging factor project.
And in front of her, there was a contract.
Abe's expression changed slightly when he saw the contract.
This was the contract signed between Mingyang Corp. and Yueji Cosmetic Corp..
After the last public bidding meeting, Yueji Cosmetic Corp. succeeded in bidding and signed this cooperation contract with Mingyang Corp..
There was no problem with the contract itself. It did not give Yueji Cosmetic Corp. a lot of favors because of the relationship between Abe and Helen, but it was very beneficial to Mingyang Corp. on the contrary.
Abe didn't know why Bonita took out this contract deliberately.
Did she think there was something wrong with this contract?
Abe didn't speak any more, and fixedly looked at Bonita, waiting for her to speak.
"Well? Can't I come?"
Bonita raised her head slightly with smiling eyes.
"Abe, how many other things are you hiding from me?"
Bonita suddenly asked.
But this made Abe and Elva both stunned.
Elva also reacted, knowing that Bonita and Abe were going to talk about something, so she left judiciously.
But Abe was a little embarrassed at this time.
"Well? You can't tell me? You know, we're sharing the fate now."
Bonita saw Abe's hesitation and said with a chuck.
It wasn't that she had to know Abe's unknown background, but that she hadn't reacted to this sudden change.
Since when there was such a powerful person in her Mingyang Corp.?
He had the whitening and anti-aging factor patent, and even the owner of Cuihu Hotel gave him a gift.
"Ha-ha, Ms. Shen, I have been in the company for three years. Don't you know who I am? If I say that everything was a coincidence before, and I don’t even know the owner of Cuihu Hotel, will you believe me?"
Abe spread his hands helplessly with a wry smile.
It was impossible for him to explain this kind of thing to Bonita right now.
However, there was one thing that he could guarantee to her.
That was that he would never do anything that would harm Mingyang Corp..
Seeing Abe's confident expression, Bonita suddenly uttered a snorting laugh.
"See how nervous you are. I'm not a tiger that will eat people."
"All right, I can ignore your background, but if I find out that you do anything to damage Mingyang Corp. and the whitening and anti-aging factor project, I won't let you go!"
Bonita's expression became extremely serious in the end.
Abe knew that Mingyang Corp. was Bonita's painstaking effort, and the whitening and anti-aging factor project was the project she valued the most.
"Don't worry, I'm still counting on the whitening and anti-aging factor project to make money."
Abe chuckled.
"By the way, this contract is the one signed by Yueji Cosmetic Corp.. I've read it. Given your relationship with Helen, is there anything you want to do about it?"
Bonita took out the contract and handed it to Abe with a chuckle.
Her fragrance slowly spread in front of Abe's nose.
Abe looked at the contract before him with fixed eyes.
To be honest, he was clear about the predicament that Helen's Yueji Cosmetic Corp. was facing at this time.
If there was no external help, Helen alone would not be enough to support Yueji Cosmetic Corp. anymore
At the time, the cooperation with Mingyang Corp. had become the last straw for Helen and Yueji Cosmetic Corp..
However, the terms listed in this contract, for Helen, were hardly beneficial.
It was equivalent to let Yueji Cosmetic Corp. only work for Mingyang Corp..
"Yes, I want to change the terms it. I know the current dilemma that Yueji Cosmetic Corp. is facing. If I don't help her, then Yueji Cosmetic Corp. can hardly go on."
Abe reached out, took over the contract, and said in a flat tone.
"OK, it's up to you. I won't interfere. But don't harm the interests of our company because of your relationship with Helen."
To Abe's surprise, Bonita didn't have any intention of opposing this, but instead acquiesced to his idea.
"Thank you."
Abe was moved. In fact, Bonita didn't have to do this. Even if she opposed Abe to cut profit in favor of Helen, he couldn't raise any objection.
"Seriously? Don't forget, you are now a shareholder of Mingyang Corp. and the person in charge of the whitening and anti-aging factor project. If you mess up this project, you will not only disgrace me."
Bonita chuckled.
Then, in Abe's surprised eyes, Bonita actually stretched out her hand and flicked Abe's forehead.
This action seemed very intimate. She was like a big sister interacting with her little brother.
However, Abe and Bonita did not even notice that the place where they were at this time was Abe's office. The office had two sides of glass, and the curtains were not completely closed.
And in a building opposite Mingyang Corp., in which a room opposite Abe’s office, a middle-aged man was watching them silently, and seeing all the actions of Abe and Bonita.
"There will be big news. It seems that the rumors are true. Abe is probably Bonita's toy boy."
The man silently put away the camera in his hand and looked at the photos with a salacious look.
...
The next day, Abe was thinking about revising the contract with Yueji Cosmetic Corp., when Elva rushed in in a panic.
"Mr. Chou, something has happened."
"What's wrong?"
Abe raised his eyebrow and his heart thudded.
He knew Elva very well. She was serious about her work, but was also extremely assertive in matters.
Something that could make her all panic must be a big deal.
"Mr. Chou, this is today's entertainment magazine."
Elva had a solemn face, holding a lot of entertainment magazines in her hands. She put all of them on Abe's desk.
"What are they?
Abe was puzzled, but froze abruptly.
All the pictures on the covers of these magazines were the same.
And the people in these pictures were Abe and Bonita.
Bonita reached out and flickered Abe's forehead, and Abe also looked at Bonita with an affectionate expression.
And this picture was accompanied by text beside.
"Bonita Shen of Mingyang Corp. keeps a toy boy. Abe Chou, the head of the whitening and anti-aging factor project, lives off a woman!"
The conspicuous few words angered Abe immediately.
What was in this picture did indeed happen yesterday.
But it was not so misleading as it seemed.
In particular, the written description on the side of the picture stung Abe's eyes.
"When did you find this?"
Abe stood up abruptly and hit the table with his fist. His face flushed with anger.
It was okay to joke about him, but it got Bonita involved, which made Abe have to mind it.
More importantly, once Helen saw these magazines, she would doubt it.
"It was found early this morning. An employee told me."
Elva's face was solemn than ever.
Even when she was facing the stress from Damon before, she didn't look so solemn.
"Mr. Chou, this was obviously taken by someone secretly, but we don't know who did this and what their purpose was."
Elva said in a deep voice.
"Does Ms. Shen know?"
Abe held back his anger. At this time, he knew he couldn't get angry rashly, and he had to restrain himself as much as possible.
"She doesn't know yet, but it won't be kept from her for long."
Elva smiled wryly.
Just as soon as her finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door.
"Mr. Chou, Ms. Shen wishes see you in her office."
In a moment, Abe and Elva looked at each other, and immediately knew that they may not be able to hide it any longer.
Abe didn't refuse, and took these magazines to Bonita's office.
"Ms. Shen, what's the matter?"
Abe pushed the door in, and saw Bonita lying on the chair leisurely.
"Abe, you might have known it, right?"
Bonita didn't get up, but asked in a flat tone.
"Yes, there are those magazines."
Abe nodded slightly and put all the magazines on the table.
"Heh, that's quite a lot. What do you think of this matter?"
At this time, Bonita slowly looked at Abe. She glanced at those gossip magazines, then ignored them and looked at Abe.
"You have a suspect in mind, but there is no evidence."
Abe thought for a while, and then briefly told her what happened at Xie's house.
Especially Dale slandered him and Bonita, which made Abe even more suspicious of him.
