Chapter 4: Throw Them Out
This was Ye Chen’s first meeting with Wang Dongxue.
Wang Dongxue was undeniably stunning! At around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, she had a slim yet voluptuous figure, a breathtaking beauty, and an elegant, competent demeanor.
Sitting at Wang Dongxue’s desk, Ye Chen began, “I won’t be coming to the Emgrand Group often in the future, so I need you to oversee the operations here. Also, do not reveal my identity to anyone.”
Wang Dongxue understood that Ye Chen’s family was extremely powerful, and managing the Emgrand Group personally was trivial for him. It was normal for him not to be interested in managing it himself.
She quickly replied, “Mr. Ye, you can count on me for anything in the future.”
Just then, a female secretary knocked and entered, saying, “Vice Chairman Wang, a Mr. Wang Yunfei and his fiancée are here to see you.”
Wang Dongxue immediately said, “I’m meeting an important guest; have them wait.”
Ye Chen asked, “Do you know this Wang Yunfei?”
Wang Dongxue quickly explained, “The Wang family is one of our minor partners. They have been trying to arrange a meeting with me and have come several times already.”
Ye Chen coldly instructed, “From now on, the Emgrand Group is to have no further business with the Wang family. Cancel all ongoing and planned collaborations. If they earn even a penny more from us, you can resign from your position as Vice Chairman.”
Wang Dongxue’s expression immediately became serious. She didn’t need to ask; she knew someone from the Wang family must have offended the young master.
She nodded promptly, “Rest assured, young master, I will order the termination of all collaborations with the Wang family immediately.”
Ye Chen nodded and added, “Tell them the Emgrand Group does not collaborate with low-quality individuals and have security throw them out.”
......
Outside, Wang Yunfei and Xiao Weiwei were eagerly waiting.
The Wang family had been trying to become strategic partners with the Emgrand Group and were particularly keen to get close to Wang Dongxue.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Unexpectedly, Wang Dongxue’s secretary arrived with several security guards.
Wang Yunfei couldn’t help but ask, “Excuse me, does Vice Chairman Wang have time to see us?”
The secretary coldly replied, “I’m sorry, but Vice Chairman Wang has said that the Emgrand Group will not collaborate with people of your low quality. Effective immediately, all collaborations with your family are canceled.”
“What?!”
Wang Yunfei was stunned. This sounded eerily familiar. Oh right! Ye Chen had said the exact same thing in the parking lot earlier!
What did Vice Chairman Wang mean? Were they really going to end all collaborations with the Wang family?
Wang Yunfei felt a surge of blood rush to his head.
What was going on?
Terminate all collaborations?
The Wang family relied heavily on the Emgrand Group for a large portion of their profits!
If collaborations were terminated, the family’s strength would be halved instantly!
Unable to accept this reality, he shouted, “I demand to see Vice Chairman Wang! I need to ask her directly!”
The secretary coldly replied, “I’m sorry, Vice Chairman Wang will not see you, and you are no longer permitted to set foot in the Emgrand Group.”
Wang Yunfei angrily yelled, “Are you playing with me? We are long-term partners of the Emgrand Group. How can you cancel everything just like that?”
The secretary ignored him and instructed the security guards, “Throw them out!”
The head of security stepped forward, grabbed Wang Yunfei’s wrist, and twisted it behind his back.
Wang Yunfei screamed in pain. The head of security coldly warned, “Get out now! If you cause trouble, I’ll break your arm!”
“How dare you, a mere head of security, talk to me like this! Do you know who I am?”
Before Wang Yunfei could finish, the head of security slapped him across the face, shouting, “You’re nothing in front of the Emgrand Group!”
Wang Yunfei’s face burned from the slap. Just as he was about to explode in anger, his phone rang. It was his father calling.
He answered, and his father’s furious voice roared through the phone, “You bastard! What trouble have you caused? The Emgrand Group is terminating all cooperation with us! Who did you offend?”
Wang Yunfei, feeling wronged, said, “Dad, I didn’t offend anyone. I just came to see Vice Chairman Wang, but I haven’t even seen her yet…”
On the other end, his father shouted, “The Emgrand Group said they are terminating all cooperation because you are a low-quality individual! Our family is suffering because of you. Get back here and explain yourself to your grandfather!”
Wang Yunfei, still in shock, was escorted out of the Emgrand Group by the security guards.
He suddenly thought of Ye Chen and asked Xiao Weiwei, “Weiwei, could it be your loser brother-in-law? Could he have some connection to the Emgrand Group?”
“What?” Xiao Weiwei was startled by his question. On second thought, it did seem possible.
But he’s just a loser!
Shaking her head firmly, she said, “No way. He couldn’t even qualify to clean toilets here.”
“Right...” Wang Yunfei nodded. Thinking of his enraged father, he despondently said, “I need to get home right away...”
The news of the Emgrand Group terminating all cooperation with the Wang family quickly spread throughout Jinling.
While no one knew the exact reason, everyone understood that the Wang family must have offended the Emgrand Group.
The Wang family’s power was immediately halved. Once on the verge of becoming a first-tier family, they now plummeted to the bottom of the second tier.
Old Lady Xiao, hearing the news, was furious. She wanted to cancel Xiao Weiwei and Wang Yunfei’s engagement but, considering the Wang family’s lingering power, decided against it for now.
......
Back in Wang Dongxue’s office, Ye Chen learned of the entire episode and appreciated her handling of the situation.
Ye Chen smiled approvingly, “Dongxue, you did well just now. From today, your salary is doubled.”
Wang Dongxue, both surprised and delighted, stood up and bowed, “Thank you, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen nodded and said, “I need you to announce two things publicly.”
“Whatever you say, young master.”
“First, announce that the Emgrand Group has a new owner and chairman, but do not reveal my identity. Just mention the last name Ye.”
“Second, announce that the Emgrand Group will invest 2 billion RMB in Jinling to build a six-star hotel and initiate a bidding process for partners. All local construction and renovation companies can participate.”
The Xiao family’s main business was in renovation, and the old lady dreamed of partnering with the Emgrand Group. Securing this partnership would make anyone a star in the Xiao family.
Now that the Emgrand Group was his, Ye Chen decided to give his wife a gift.
