《Reincarnated Rich Daughter Was Pampered By All》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It hurts¡­ I¡¯m so sleepy¡­ where is this? Why do I feel like the world is spinning? Ye Wanling¡¯s eyes were so heavy that she couldn¡¯t open them, but she felt as if her whole body was falling apart. She tried hard to open her eyes to take a look, but she became more and more sleepy until her thoughts fell into darkness. When she woke up again, Ye Wanling found herself sleeping in the bedroom she was most familiar with, and her mother, Chen Fang, was walking in from outside. ¡°Sigh, my good daughter, why aren¡¯t you up yet? Yesterday, you insisted on going to your second brother¡¯s concert. Now, you¡¯re late.¡± Ye Wanling shook her head hard, thinking that this must be a dream. How could it be? She remembered that she had received a call from the police station saying that Luo Zihao, that scumbag, had finally received a death sentence. She had planned for so long, and her wish had finally come true. Naturally, she wanted to see what would happen to him. She might not believe it, but this was her second life. In her first life, Luo Zihao had cheated her of her feelings, and she had been protected too well by her family. For Luo Zihao¡¯s sake, she had almost caused her entire family to be buried with her. However, she didn¡¯t die. She transmigrated back to the day she first met Luo Zihao. In her second life, she naturally didn¡¯t want to make the same mistake again, and she thought of all methods to take revenge. Finally, under her meticulous planning, Luo Zihao was punished by the law. However, at this critical moment, she remembered driving to the police station alone. Later¡­ as if at a crossroads, a large car crashed out of control. When she woke up again, this was the scene laid before her. She understood that she¡¯d transmigrated again because this day was precisely the day she met with Luo Zihao at her second brother¡¯s concert. Ye Wanling¡¯s eyes were wet. In her previous life, in order to take revenge, she had a dark personality and a stubborn temper. Her family didn¡¯t dare to provoke her and could only let her be. In order not to implicate her family, she purposely kept her distance, so she lost many happy times with her family. She¡¯d already taken her revenge, and Luo Zihao had the received punishment he deserved as well. She didn¡¯t want to live a dark life like before any longer. Chen Fang watched as her daughter woke up in a daze. Then, she cried and became nervous. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Lingling? Are you feeling unwell? Let¡¯s not visit your Second Brother anymore. Mommy will take you to the hospital.¡± Ye Wanling originally wanted to go, but she thought that if she went, she would meet Luo Zihao again, and she didn¡¯t want to have any contact with this man in this life, so she simply pretended to be sick according to Chen Fang¡¯s wishes. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Mommy. I just have a stomach ache. I¡¯ll be fine after breakfast.¡± Hearing this, Chen Fang was still a little worried, but she still couldn¡¯t persuade her daughter. She could only ask Aunt Wang to go to the kitchen and make another pot of warm porridge to warm Ye Wanling¡¯s stomach. When Ye Wanling finished washing up and sat down at the dining table downstairs, the steaming hot porridge was served. Ye Wanling quickly took a sip and felt warm from head to toe. As Ye Wanling ate her porridge, she thought that today was the day her second brother, Ye Wenhao, held an exclusive concert. She had pestered her family to go to watch it two days ago, but her father, Ye Zhiyuan, and her elder brother, Ye Yuze, were busy with the work of the Ye Corporation every day and couldn¡¯t spare any time. Her third brother, Ye Mingjie, was a national athlete. The national sports meet was around the corner and he was training, so he couldn¡¯t go. Therefore, in the entire Ye family, only Ye Wanling and Chen Fang were free. And today, in order to never have any interaction with Luo Zihao in this life, Ye Wanling claimed that she was sick and didn¡¯t go. However, she didn¡¯t know what the trajectory of her life would be without Luo Zihao in this lifetime. Would she encounter another person that affected her life? This way, Second Brother would definitely be reprimanded when he came back at night. Her father and brother seemed to have run into some trouble at the company, and they had not returned home for two or three days. After breakfast, Ye Wanling proposed to go to the company to visit her father and brother, and also make a hot lunch for them. The two of them had been busy for several days, so they must not have had a good hot meal. Chen Fang was surprised. After all, she had never cared about these things before, but because she had arranged to have afternoon tea with her good friend in the afternoon, she couldn¡¯t refuse, so she could only tell Ye Wanling to listen to her father and brother and not cause trouble.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Now, not only did she come, but she even brought hot food. How could he not be shocked? ¡°Why are you here, Lingling? Did you get into trouble again? You came here to get help didn¡¯t you?¡± Ye Wanling intimately went up and took Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s arm. ¡°Oh, Dad, am I just a naughty trickster in your eyes?¡± It had been a long time since Ye Wanling acted like a spoiled child towards family, even in her previous two lives, she did not act this way. Ye Zhiyuan enjoyed it very much. He smiled and touched Ye Wanling¡¯s head. He only had this one daughter, so of course he loved her deeply. ¡°Your brother is in a meeting. It¡¯s going to end soon. Let¡¯s eat first.¡± ¡°Okay, then we can only apologize to Big Brother.¡± Ye Wanling smiled as she placed the lunch box. When the meal was almost over, Ye Wanling said after much deliberation, ¡°Dad, I want to learn administrative management and finance.¡± Ye Zhiyuan asked in surprise, ¡°Why do you suddenly want to learn this?¡± ¡°I just saw how hard it was for Daddy and Big Brother, and as the daughter of the Ye family, I only know how to cause trouble every day. I want to help share some of the burden with Daddy.¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked at his daughter steadily. Although he was still shocked, he felt more comforted. He felt that his daughter was not like before. In the past, Ye Wanling was like a child who had not grown up. But now, she suddenly became much calmer and her speech was much more stable. Although he was confused, it was also possible that Wan Ling had really grown up. ¡°Okay, as long as you want to learn, I will find you the best teacher.¡± After dinner, Ye Wanling waited for a long time. Her brother¡¯s meeting was still ongoing, so she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Dad, have you encountered any problems recently? You haven¡¯t been home for several days.¡± Ye Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not a big problem. It¡¯s just that there are a few parasites. Recently, there¡¯s been an arbitration and it will be resolved soon.¡± Ye Wanling understood the general situation and didn¡¯t ask further. In the end, she only told her father to take care of himself before leaving. In fact, the person Ye Wanling wanted to visit the most was her grandfather, Ye Chenweng. As the director of the National Research Institute, he had too many things to do every day and his was absent from sight most of the time. In her previous two lives, she felt that she had let her grandfather down the most. There were only two things in his heart. One was the research institute, and the other was her. However, in her previous two lives, she had done many wrong things. She would never forget the disappointment in her grandfather¡¯s eyes when he went to prison because of her. In this life, no one should even think of harming their family. When Ye Chenweng received the news that Ye Wanling had come to see him, his frown finally relaxed. Their work had been delayed for several days because of a research project. Ye Chenweng saw Ye Wanling¡¯s face and his wrinkly smile finally appeared, he jokingly said, ¡°Lingling, why did you come to see Grandpa today? Has the sun finally risen from the west?¡± Ye Wanling blushed shyly. She didn¡¯t expect that she was so willful before. She took her family¡¯s kindness for granted and didn¡¯t know how to repay them at all. ¡°Grandfather, I really missed you. Don¡¯t you miss me after not seeing me for so long?¡± Ye Chenweng laughed out loud. The gloominess from before was gone, and Ye Chenweng¡¯s students in the laboratory were whispering to each other in surprise. They had never seen Ye Chenweng laugh before. After all, Ye Chenweng was exceptionally serious when it came to research. He was strict and meticulous with his students, not to mention when it came smiling. But because of the importance of the research project, Ye Wanling did not dare to delay for too long. She was afraid that if she delayed the progress, there would be consequences, so she hurriedly said goodbye and went home.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Zhiyuan was very fast. He said that he would hire a teacher for Ye Wanling and the next day, she officially started class. He invited the best lecturers in the country. After all, Ye Wanling had studied for a period of time in her second life, and she had transmigrated with her memories, so it was quite easy for her to learn again. Everything was going according to Ye Wanling¡¯s plan. In this life, she was determined to protect the family business and everyone in the family, giving them strong support. On the other side of the ocean, in Country A, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the executive office, a well-proportioned figure was silently looking at the night scenery outside the window. Someone knocked on the office door. ¡°Come in.¡± The person who came in carried a stack of documents and placed them on the man¡¯s desk. ¡°CEO Yan, these are the top ten companies in the country, especially the Ye Corporation. Whether it is in terms of power or influence, they are second place.¡± ¡°Ye Corporation¡­¡± The man narrowed his eyes. He picked up the document and glanced through it. ¡°CEO Yan, Old Master Yan asked me to tell you that you have to be fast for the cleanup when you return to China this time. As for the Ye Corporation, if you don¡¯t have 100% confidence in acquiring it, maintain a cooperative relationship first. When he returns to China, he will clean it up.¡± Yan Ziqing frowned when he heard that. What did he mean? Since he didn¡¯t believe in his methods, why did he have to hand this task over to him? Yan Ziqing was the second young master of the Yan family, but the old master Yan Ming was a traditional person. He placed great emphasis on nurturing the eldest son of the Yan family, Yan Hexuan. As for the existence of the second young master, he had always been nonchalant about him. Yan Ziqing had never followed Yan Hexuan¡¯s orders ever since he came into the company. Although Yan Hexuan was the boss, his qualifications were mediocre. However, he did not dare to go against his father¡¯s orders. His father sent him back to clean up the company and pave the way for Yan Corporation¡¯s development in the country. However, to put it bluntly, it was because they were afraid of offending too many people. At that time, Yan Hexuan would have no place in the country. At the same time, it was also to pave the way for Yan Hexuan. Yan Ziqing secretly clenched his fists. Why couldn¡¯t they notice him? He was clearly more capable. Seeing him like this, the person who delivered the documents reminded him, ¡°CEO Yan, this is the best time for us to enter the domestic market. It¡¯s better not to create unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, you and I won¡¯t be able to answer to the Master.¡± After saying that, he left the room. Yan Ziqing was never an honest person. Since his father had given him this mission, it would not end so easily. He was determined to get into C Nation. Back in the country. Ye Wanling attended various classes every day. Although she was tired, she learned a lot of useful knowledge. Everyone in the Ye family looked as if they had seen a ghost. After all, in their impression, Ye Wanling was someone who didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth and dared to stir up all sorts of trouble. She had always been the type to not be able to stay quiet for less than ten minutes. Not only has her personality changed, but she has also begun to learn about finance and administrative management. The Ye family thought that the end of the world was coming. But at the same time, everyone was very relieved. After all, with Ye Wanling¡¯s current state, they were not worried that she would be foolishly bullied outside. Even if she was bullied, the Ye family still had so many people supporting her. As long as Ye Wanling was willing herself, they were willing to give her anything. At C Nation¡¯s airport, Yan Ziqing finally got off the plane. He took a deep breath. Ever since he could remember, he had been brought to Country A. This time, when he returned to Country C, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Yan Ziqing¡¯s flight had arrived earlier by an hour plus. He did not inform the staff of the arrival beforehand. He wanted to take a spin around and relax. However, some people were born to become the center of attention. Along the way, people kept turning back to whisper towards him. ¡°Wow, look at that person. He¡¯s so handsome.¡± ¡°Which family¡¯s idol is that? Did he just come back from a foreign event?¡± ¡°My god, sister, he¡¯s so handsome. If only I had such a handsome boyfriend.¡± Yan Ziqing had heard this many times already. He smiled helplessly. When he bought a cup of coffee and stood by the road, Shen Lin arrived. ¡°Wow, that can¡¯t be, CEO Yan. You booked such an early flight. I haven¡¯t even washed my burning face, yet you¡¯re so relaxed.¡± Shen Lin was the assistant that Yan Ming had sent to Yan Ziqing. Actually, the two of them had known each other since they were young. However, Yan Ziqing¡¯s whole family had migrated, and Shen Lin had also gone to Country A for education. However, he still chose to return to the country to develop his career. Who knew the two of them would have a chance to work together again.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yan Ziqing got into the car and handed Shen Lin a cup of coffee. However, Shen Lin did not buy it. ¡°You want to settle this with just a cup of coffee? Impossible. Treat me to dinner tonight.¡± The car started, and Shen Lin asked, ¡°CEO Yan, Old Master Yan has already told me about this trip back to back to the country. Don¡¯t worry, if the two of us work together, no one will be able to stand in our way.¡± Yan Ziqing did not say anything. He just looked at the scenery outside the window. It had not been easy for him to get the chance to temporarily leave Yan Ming, and this time, he did not want to follow Yan Ming¡¯s plan. Shen Lin did not know what Yan Ziqing was thinking. Seeing that he was not saying anything, she punched him. ¡°Are you deaf? You have been keeping a straight face since we met. There are no strangers here. Speak.¡± Yan Ziqing was getting impatient. ¡°It¡¯s been so many years since we last met, but you¡¯re still so noisy.¡± This time, Shen Lin was not convinced. ¡°Hey, am I so noisy? This is called being good at talking, unlike you, who is so quiet.¡± The two of them continued to bicker. The car stopped before an apartment building. Shen Bai took out a bunch of keys. ¡°Here, Young Master Yan, this is the best location in C Nation¡¯s A City. I¡¯m very kind.¡± Yan Ziqing did not act polite. He took the keys and also the car keys at the same time. ¡°Thanks. Lend me this car for two days. I¡¯ll return it to you later.¡± With that, Yan Ziqing walked into the apartment building. By the time Shen Lin realized what had happened, the door was already closed. No matter how much he screamed, it was useless. Damn it. If Yan Ming hadn¡¯t sponsored him to study all these years, he would have cut Yan Ziqing into pieces. Shen Lin could only take a taxi back. When he got into the car, he was still wondering how such an amiable old man like Yan Ming could have such a shameless son. At the Ye family. It had been more than a month since Ye Wanling attended class, and she was already familiar with the general process. Ye Zhiyuan had also arranged a position for her in the company, and she could be on duty at any time. On this day, after listening to the class, Ye Wanling felt that she had thoroughly grasped all the theoretical knowledge, and all that was left was the lack of practical theory. Therefore, she planned to go to the office the next day. Ye Zhiyuan was afraid that giving too many tasks would put too much pressure on Ye Wanling, so he temporarily arranged for her to familiarize herself with the company¡¯s environment. On this day, Ye Wanling had exquisite makeup on and was dressed appropriately. Her long seaweed-like hair exuded a faint floral fragrance. When she stood at the entrance of the administrative department, no one knew who she was, and they were all whispering to each other. ¡°Who is this? A new colleague? She¡¯s so pretty.¡± ¡°Where did she do her hair? I want the same style.¡± ¡°Based on her aura, she shouldn¡¯t be an intern. Could she be a new leader? She¡¯s so young.¡± Ye Wanling only glanced at them gently and they immediately fell silent. Everyone quickly lowered their heads and started working. At this moment, the manager of the administrative department came out from inside. ¡°Miss Ye¡­ Ah, no¡­ Director Ye, it¡¯s my fault for making you wait so long. Please follow me.¡± Ye Wanling followed the supervisor into the office, and there was an uproar outside. ¡°Hey, did you hear it? Miss Ye? Why is she here?¡± ¡°She¡¯s the only daughter of the Ye family? I heard that she¡¯s arrogant, despotic, and willful. Why is she here?¡± ¡°She¡¯s not here to be our leader, is she? Heavens, our good days are over.¡± Of course, Ye Wanling didn¡¯t know that the office was already in an uproar. After all, the young lady of the Ye family had a notorious reputation in her early years. Other people did good deeds but were not remembered. However, she had done all sorts of bad deeds and had become infamous. When others heard that she was the only young lady of the Ye family, who would dare to seek revenge? At that moment, the entire department was filled with complaints. In the office, the supervisor respectfully presented a document. ¡°Director Ye, my name is Bai Ting. If you need anything, call me anytime. This is all the information in our department. Take a look first. If you don¡¯t understand, just ask me.¡± ¡°Well, thank you for your hard work.¡± Ye Wanling began to read the department¡¯s introduction carefully.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At noon, Ye Wanling¡¯s elder brother, Ye Yuze, came to visit and brought a lot of delicious food. ¡°Little sister, come quickly. See what I got for you.¡± Ye Yuze smiled as he waved his hand. ¡°How was it? It¡¯s your first day at work. Have you gotten used to it? Did the people under you make things difficult for you?¡± Ye Wanling put away the documents and sat opposite Ye Yuze. ¡°You¡¯re exaggerating. I¡¯m still familiarizing myself with the business flow of the department and haven¡¯t dealt with them yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Take your time. If there¡¯s anything you can¡¯t solve, feel free to look for me.¡± Ye Yuze patted Ye Wanling¡¯s head lovingly. Ye Wanling nodded, touched. She thought of how she had such a good brother and family, but she didn¡¯t cherish them before. She really wanted to slap herself. A few days later, the employees of the administrative department were initially afraid that Miss Ye was here to cause trouble. However, they realized that this Miss Ye was not as stupid as the rumors made her out to be. Instead, she was exceptionally smart. Furthermore, she handled her work in an orderly manner, and everyone felt relieved. However, she had come in by making use of her father¡¯s influence, and she had become a department manager as soon as she came in, so there were bound to be people who were not happy about it. They only felt that she had gotten in through the back door. Without capability, she could only rely on her family¡¯s power. On this day, because of a mistake in the data of the purchase order, there were ten more machines than what were expected that arrived at the company. When the young lady in charge of the purchase went to deliver the supplies, she was humiliated by the marketing department. He said, ¡°The kind of leader you have means the kind of subordinate you would have. How embarrassing.¡± However, this mistake was not entirely caused by the young lady. They did not want to admit their mistake, and they did not want to pay for the extra ten devices. The young lady was so angry that her face was red, but she could not act up. She could only swallow her anger, but when she returned, she could not stop crying. Ye Wanling heard about it later, but she didn¡¯t get angry. She just took the purchase order to the marketing department, and the person who humiliated the little girl that day was the manager of the marketing department, Chen Fei. When Ye Wanling put the list in front of Chen Fei, Chen Fei thought Ye Wanling was here to ask him for advice, so he couldn¡¯t help but mock her again, ¡°Oh, isn¡¯t this Miss Ye? Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were coming? I could have prepared a lesson for you.¡± Ye Wanling just asked lightly, ¡°Who did this order?¡± Chen Fei said disdainfully, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Your employees couldn¡¯t solve it and went back to complain?¡± As he spoke, he picked up the list and looked at it. ¡°If they can¡¯t even understand this, why does your department still need such employees?¡± Ye Wanling was not angry. She smiled and said, ¡°Manager Chen, you misunderstand. I just want to consult a person that was in charge of ordering. After all, I don¡¯t know how to do it.¡± The contempt in Chen Fei¡¯s heart intensified when he heard this. ¡°Understood. I¡¯ll call him in now.¡± When this employee entered the room, he was still arrogant, but he did not know what was waiting for him. Ye Wanling looked at the employee who came in and asked, ¡°Did you make this order?¡± ¡°Yeah, why?¡± The employee replied arrogantly, thinking that the President¡¯s daughter was nothing special. Ye Wanling said in an orderly manner, ¡°The formula is ridiculously wrong. Requests for reconciliation are made up of many conditions. Even if there is an additional S in the order, the difference will end up like heaven and earth.¡± Then she glanced at Chen Fei and the other worker indifferently. ¡°So, you should know who should bear the cost of this mistake and the additional cost incurred.¡± Chen Fei¡¯s face alternated between black and white. He had originally intended to make use of this opportunity to pin the blame on the young lady. Otherwise, he would have wasted these two months of work. But from the looks of it, this young lady from the Ye family was not so naive.. Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chen Fei immediately put on a smile. ¡°What are you saying, Director Ye? But your employees didn¡¯t notice the mistake either, right?¡± Ye Wanling smiled. ¡°Then let¡¯s see what you mean, Manager Chen. You know there¡¯s something wrong with this list, but you don¡¯t care. You¡¯re deliberately trying to frame my employee.¡± Chen Fei realized that he had said something wrong. There was a world of difference between committing a mistake while being aware of it while knowing the truth and accidentally committing a mistake by accident. If the higher-ups knew that he was committing an error while still doing it deliberately, he might not even be able to keep his job anymore. If he had known that Ye Yuze hated the scheming and plotting of his employees, not to mention that he had caused a loss to the company, he would have been done for. Chen Fei immediately put on an ingratiating expression. ¡°No, no, no. It¡¯s all my employees¡¯ fault. Don¡¯t worry, Director Ye. I¡¯ll definitely punish them well.¡± When Ye Wanling first came to the company, she didn¡¯t want to make too many enemies, but it wasn¡¯t her staff¡¯s fault, and she didn¡¯t want to swallow this anger. ¡°That better be the case. If I find out that you¡¯re looking for trouble again, things won¡¯t be as simple as they seem.¡± After saying that, Ye Wanling glanced at Chen Fei lightly, turned around and walked out of the office. However, as soon as she walked out, Chen Fei immediately put on a vicious expression. He spat and scolded, ¡°Pui! IAren¡¯t you just relying on your own family business? Who do you think you are to be so arrogant?¡± Chen Fei had always been unwilling to accept people who used connections to get in through the back door. He had worked hard and conscientiously every day, and had offended many people to obtain his current status. What right did this little girl have to be on equal footing with him? When Ye Wanling returned to the office, the people in the department naturally heard that Ye Wanling had spoken up for her staff. Otherwise, the responsibility would really fall on them, especially the young girl who was in charge of purchasing. Her prejudice against Ye Wanling was swept away, and she was both impressed and grateful to her. With this incident as a foundation, Ye Wanling¡¯s reputation in the department became better and better. She was good to her employees and never allowed her employees to be bullied. The efficiency of the employees had also increased a lot, and some even felt ashamed. After all, when Ye Wanling first came, they had all heard that Ye Wanling was a demon king. What future could they end up with if they followed such a leader? But it had only been a few weeks, and everyone already had a whole new level of respect for her. Even if other departments badmouthed Ye Wanling in their free time, they would still try their best to protect their department¡¯s reputation. The people from other departments who had not interacted with Ye Wanling felt that the people from the administrative department had been brainwashed. On this day, Ye Yuze finished his work and came to pick up Ye Wanling. He happened to hear the staff passing by in the hall discussing that Ye Wanling was a good leader. He knocked on the door of Ye Wanling¡¯s office and walked in. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that my mischievous sister would win over all her employees in less than a month.¡± Ye Wanling raised her head from the table full of documents and smiled bitterly. ¡°Don¡¯t tease me brother. It¡¯s just a small matter. I don¡¯t know why they are so excited.¡± ¡°Hahaha, I heard that you stood up for your employees and rushed to Chen Fei¡¯s office to cause a ruckus. You won¡¯t let your employees suffer.¡± Although Ye Yuze wanted to laugh, he realized that this was indeed something his sister would do. ¡°Ah? No way, the rumors are so exaggerated? I just went to divide the responsibility. Why did they make such a big fuss?¡± Ye Wanling leaned back in her chair somewhat dejectedly. She had just started work, how did she end up like this? Ye Yuze didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn¡¯t expect that his little sister, who had always been reckless, would start to care about her image. Ye Yuze gently knocked Ye Wanling¡¯s head and said with a smile, ¡°Okay, hurry up and pack the documents. Mom specifically told us to go back early today. Your third brother is back.¡± Hearing this, Ye Wanling jumped up excitedly as if she still had not yet processed it. ¡°What? Third Brother is back! Hurry up and go home. I haven¡¯t seen him for a long time.¡± As she walked towards the door, she did not forget to rush Ye Yuze. ¡°Hurry up, let¡¯s go. What are you waiting for?¡± Ye Yuze shook his head helplessly and quickly followed.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as he returned home, he could hear Ye Wanling¡¯s voice before he even saw her. ¡°Third Brother! Where are you?¡± When Ye Mingjie heard her voice, he quickly came out to welcome her. ¡°Little sister, it¡¯s been a long time. You¡¯ve gained some weight.¡± Hearing this, Ye Wanling wanted to jump up and hit him. ¡°You¡¯re the fat one. I¡¯m still so thin.¡± Because of these two clowns, the whole family burst into laughter. After that, they sat down at the dining table one after another. Ye Mingjie and Ye Wanling were still bickering with each other, while Ye Wenhao couldn¡¯t help but say sourly, ¡°My little sister is so mean. She did not attend my concert or show any support. She¡¯s very close to my third brother.¡± Ye Wanling stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. ¡°That was an accident¡­ yes, an accident.¡± It was obvious that this reason couldn¡¯t convince Ye Wenhao, but Ye Wenhao couldn¡¯t do anything about this little sister of his. He could only sigh helplessly. ¡°Sigh, alright, alright. Just promise me that this won¡¯t happen again. If there¡¯s a next time, I definitely won¡¯t forgive you.¡± Ye Wanling nodded with a smile. As Ye Mingjie was one of the country¡¯s top athletes, he had to prepare for this year¡¯s National Games. Therefore, he spent almost the entire year training in the training camp, and the chances of his family meeting was even fewer. Therefore, when he returned home, Ye Chenweng also came back from the research institute to welcome his grandson who had brought glory to the country. Ye Chenweng chuckled and stopped the siblings from laughing. ¡°Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Mingjie, you have to work hard for this sports meet, but you just have to do what you can. Don¡¯t give yourself too much pressure, okay?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Grandpa. I have confidence.¡± Ye Mingjie was very happy that Ye Chenweng could come back. When he was young, he liked to study strange things, so he stuck closely to Ye Chenweng. Naturally, he ended up staying by Ye Chenweng much longer. Later, when he grew up, he gradually realized that he had astonishing talent in sprinting, so he begged Ye Zhiyuan to send him to the national team. As the training period was too long, he slowly lost the chance to meet his with his family. Ye Mingjie was very touched that his whole family was present. Ye Wanling said incoherently as she ate, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Third Brother. I¡¯ll definitely go to the venue to watch your competition and cheer you on. You must win the championship.¡± Ye Mingjie smiled confidently too. ¡°Alright, come and see Third Brother. I¡¯ll definitely win the championship.¡± At the other side. Yan Ziqing looked at the summary on the computer and dialed Shen Lin¡¯s number. ¡°Do you want to watch the National Games?¡± After Shen Lin received the call, he said in a strange tone, ¡°Oh, you remember someone like me. How about you return my car?¡± Yan Ziqing didn¡¯t give him any time to talk nonsense. ¡°Investigate whether Ye Wanling will go to the National Games or not and buy two seat tickets near Ye Wanling.¡± With that, he hung up the phone. There were four children in the Ye family. The eldest brother was the president of the company, the second brother was the Prince of Music, and he had countless fans. The third brother was the country¡¯s top athlete. The last one, Ye Wanling, was rumored to be silly.. Yan Ziqing had wanted to get in touch with the elder brother, Ye Yuze first, but he had just returned to the country, so he didn¡¯t have any business with the Ye family for the time being. Later, he heard that Ye Wanling also went to work in the company, and he also heard that Ye Wanling wasn¡¯t a business-minded person, so he thought it was the easiest to start with her. Although Shen Lin had complaints in his heart, he knew the severity of the matter. This was currently the best opportunity to get into contact with the Ye family. However, because he had never cared much about the Ye Corporation before receiving Yan Ming¡¯s notice, he did not know anyone from the Ye family. He could only ask around and asked someone to help him find Ye Wanling¡¯s seat list in the audience. However, the tickets for the sports meet were sold a long time ago, so he could only ask someone to buy two tickets from scalpers.. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Time passed quickly, and the day of the National Games arrived. Ye Wanling came early in the morning and went backstage to cheer Ye Mingjie on. She didn¡¯t know if there were any taboos for athletes, so she brought many sports drinks for her teammates. Actually, she had wanted to bring breakfast, but Chen Fang stopped her, saying that they all had a fixed food menu! Ye Wanling gave up. Since she couldn¡¯t stay backstage for long, Ye Wanling went to the audience seats early. What she did not know was that the two men behind her had been observing her from the shadows. When Shen Lin saw Ye Wanling, he exclaimed, ¡°Ay, CEO Yan, don¡¯t say that. Although Ye Wanling is rumored to be arrogant and willful, she¡¯s really good-looking.¡± Yan Ziqing rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Can you be serious for just one day?¡± Shen Lin pouted. ¡°Come on, how am I not serious? I¡¯m such a straightforward person, unlike you who pretends to be serious every day.¡± Seeing that Yan Ziqing was ignoring him, Shen Lin did not give up and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t that the case? Look at her long waterfall hair, delicate jawline, and great figure. Indeed, in this world, looks are justice.¡± The two did not realize that while they were observing others, they were also the center of attention before the sports meet. Many people were stunned by their auras. ¡°Why do I feel like they¡¯re a good match?¡± ¡°Maybe they are a couple.¡± Because there were too many people in the stadium, these whispers were quickly drowned out by the crowd. Otherwise, if it fell into their ears, they would definitely find the person who said that. The opening ceremony on the sports field was going on in an orderly manner. Yan Ziqing seemed to be watching the show on the sports field, but in fact, his eyes never left Ye Wanling. Ye Wanling also vaguely felt that there was a gaze watching her, but she looked around and didn¡¯t find anything suspicious. She thought that he might be hallucinating due to the stress from work. Although Ye Wanling came to watch the sports meet, she couldn¡¯t completely leave her job behind, because she had applied for leave today, and the staff had a job that required her instructions. Therefore, during the few hours of the opening ceremony, she had received many calls. Of course, all of Ye Wanling¡¯s actions did not escape Yan Ziqing¡¯s eyes. Although it was rumored that Ye Wanling was just a spoiled princess, Yan Ziqing had always followed the principle of seeing with his own eyes. So when he saw Ye Wanling pick up the phone, with her calm and experienced temperament, he instantly understood that the rumors were not true. If she was really a princess, she would not have the patience and courage to do so. Yan Ziqing felt that he had come to the right place today. If they were to fight in the future, he would not be misled by the rumors and underestimate his opponent. There was a break after the opening ceremony. Ye Wanling got up and wanted to go see her third brother again. She had just taken two steps when Ye Mingjie came out of the backstage when the audience suddenly became restless. ¡°Ahhhh! Ye Mingjie!!¡± ¡°Ye Mingjie is still as handsome as ever!¡± The crowd suddenly became crowded, and there were even people holding sign boards in the audience. Screams filled the air. Her third brother was probably the only one who could make the sports meet look like a concert. Those who did not know would think that they were at a concert. When Ye Mingjie heard the shout, he waved his hand at the audience. The audience exploded. The crowd suddenly surged. No matter how the security officers shouted to maintain order, nothing could be done. Ye Wanling had just reached the stairs when she was pushed by the crowd and almost couldn¡¯t walk properly. Suddenly, she was bumped into and slipped, about to fall down the stairs. Suddenly, she was pulled back by a pair of strong hands. Ye Wanling looked in the direction of the hands and saw a man wearing a hoodie. His facial features were cold. He was obviously dressed up with the vitality of a young person, but he exuded a mature and experienced temperament. But before she could thank him, they were scattered by the crowd again. Ye Wanling hurriedly searched among the crowd, but after a brief glance, the person was gone. For some reason, although it was just a short glance, Ye Wanling suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. On the other hand, Shen Lin had witnessed the entire scene. He said with a gossipy expression, ¡°Wow, Young Master Yan is a hero saving a damsel in distress. This way, Miss Ye will fall in love with you and start a passionate relationship. With Miss Ye¡¯s brain that is in love, it will only be a matter of time before he takes over the Ye Corporation.¡± As he said that, he patted Yan Ziqing hard. ¡°This move of yours is really brilliant. I¡¯m impressed.¡± Yan Ziqing removed Shen Lin¡¯s hand from his shoulder and glanced at him indifferently. ¡°If you continue to talk nonsense, I will cut off your salary for this month.¡± Shen Linli shut his mouth tactfully. Although he was usually a little sarcastic, he had relied on the Yan family¡¯s financial support to achieve his current career. Even if he was angry, he could not resist the temptation of the salary. After all, the Yan family had given him too much.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yan Ziqing didn¡¯t stay here for long. He came here this time just to check on Ye Wanling. Now that he had an answer, there was no need to stay here any longer. Shen Lin drove Yan Ziqing to the most famous western restaurant in City A. He was afraid that Yan Ziqing would not be used to the local cuisine since he had just returned to the country. He only hoped that Yan Ziqing would give him back his favorite vehicle on account of his thoughtfulness. After all, he had only bought this car for two days and had only driven it a few times. However, what he did not know was that Yan Ziqing had never thought of returning the car keys to him. If Shen Lin knew what Yan Ziqing was thinking, he would definitely beat him up. After the dishes they ordered were served, Shen Lin said as he ate, ¡°Young Master Yan, don¡¯t blame me for not reminding you. That Ye Wanling doesn¡¯t look as stupid as the rumors say. Your hero saving the damsel in distress plan might not work well.¡± Yan Ziqing rolled his eyes at him. He did not want to listen to him, but Shen Lin did not let him go. ¡°Hey, why are you wasting your time on me? I¡¯m telling the truth. Don¡¯t believe me. When the time comes, the girl won¡¯t be able to control herself and will fall for me first. Then, she will come crying to me.¡± Yan Ziqing finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and stuffed a large piece of steak into his mouth. ¡°Even by having a meal I can¡¯t stop your babbling mouth.¡± Shen Lin¡¯s mouth was stuffed full, but he still did not give up. ¡°When I think about the famous second son of the Yan family, Yan Ziqing, having a day like this, I look forward to laughing at you.¡± However, they did not know that Chen Fei was sitting beside their table. He had come to discuss a client today. In order to get this big deal, he had spent a lot of money to choose this place to meet. Coincidentally, he heard someone talking about Ye Wanling. He hated this woman to the bone. It was just that he did not know the other party¡¯s identity, so he did not have the urge to interfere. However, when he heard the last sentence, he thought he had misheard. The second son of the Yan family? Yan Ziqing? Chen Fei thought about it carefully. The Yan Corporation in the country was not a big corporation, but there was a very prestigious branch in the overseas market. It was rumored that the Yan Corporation¡¯s chairman had two sons. However, the one who always appeared in public was the eldest son, Yan Hexuan. Chen Fei suddenly thought of the time when the Yan Family had immigrated. Could it be that this Second Young Master had not left at all? Had he been hiding his potential and biding his time within the country? If that was the case, if they were interested in Ye Wanling, then he could curry favor with the second young master of the Yan family and maybe even take the opportunity to drag Ye Wanling down with him. At the thought of this, Chen Fei brought a glass of red wine over. ¡°Pardon my intrusion, but may I ask if this is the second young master of the Yan family?¡± Yan Ziqing raised his head and looked at him. He was sure that he did not know this person in front of her, and the news that he had returned to the country had not been released, so he looked at Shen Lin. Shen Lin was also confused. ¡°Who are you?¡± Initially, he thought that it was someone Yan Ziqing knew in this country. However, judging from the look in Yan Ziqing¡¯s eyes, he probably did not know him either. Chen Fei smiled. ¡°There¡¯s no need for the two of you to be nervous. I¡¯m Chen Fei, the marketing manager of the Ye Corporation. I happened to hear the two of you talking about our chairman¡¯s daughter, so I came to make sense of it.¡± When Chen Fei saw that the two of them were silent, he felt a little awkward. He did not know whether he should raise the glass of red wine in his hand or not. ¡°I don¡¯t mean any harm. If you want to know more, you can ask me. This lady is very domineering in the company.¡± Yan Ziqing glanced at him coldly. ¡°I will relay your words to Miss Ye. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± With that, he got up and walked out. He had roughly guessed that Ye Wanling must have just entered the workplace and couldn¡¯t be convincing to the public, so someone wanted to take the opportunity to smear her name. This was the exact same situation that he had been in. Initially, Yan Ming did not want him to join the company. It was because of his constant struggling that he finally secured a place in the company. When he first went there, it was difficult for him, so he understood Ye Wanling¡¯s current situation very well. Shen Lin hurriedly followed after paying the bill. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? This is such a good opportunity. Why didn¡¯t you listen to him?¡± Yan Ziqing said lightly, ¡°I only believe what I see.¡± After saying that, he got into the car and left, leaving Shen Lin feeling strange. In his impression, Yan Ziqing would never defend others, let alone someone who had only seen her once. She did not even know who he was. The more Shen Lin thought about it, the more confused he became. However, when he came back to his senses, Yan Ziqing had already disappeared with his car. He had thrown him to the side of the road again! ¡°Damn you, Yan Ziqing!¡± Ever since Yan Ziqing returned to the country, Shen Lin felt that he was so angry all the time that it was not healthy for his liver.. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On this day, Ye Wanling arrived at the company early. The meeting room was already full of people. Just as Ye Wanling was about to sit down, several people around her coughed. Ye Wanling glanced around indifferently and didn¡¯t pay attention to her and sat down safely. The meeting went very smoothly, but when Ye Wanling got up to report her work, there were whispers and even low laughter. Ye Wanling didn¡¯t care. She just finished her report and was about to return to her seat when someone spoke. ¡°Then, Miss Ye, you just said that we should save on costs, so how should we save on costs? If we save on costs and cause our partners to lose money, who will bear this loss?¡± Hearing this, Ye Yuze¡¯s eyes darkened. He was about to defend her, but Ye Wanling stopped him and gave him a reassuring look. Although Ye Yuze was angry, he also believed in his sister. Since she was fine, he would give her a chance to develop herself. Ye Wanling bowed graciously and said, ¡°You must be President Ye¡¯s right-hand man, Uncle Zhang. I¡¯ve thought about what you said. The cost savings I¡¯m talking about is not lowering standards, but reducing unnecessary expenditures.¡± This uncle, Zhang Hui, sneered in disdain. ¡°How childish. How can the company develop in the long run with a person like you?¡± Ye Wanling didn¡¯t get angry and said with a faint smile, ¡°Uncle Zhang, since you said so, I¡¯ll be frank. As the manager of the administrative department, I¡¯ve seen all the expenses needed for the company¡¯s operations, and the cost of saving is not from our products but from our employees.¡± Hearing this, Zhang Hui laughed even more disdainfully. After all, she was a young girl who did not know the consequences of deducting employee benefits. Ye Wanling continued, ¡°I recently discovered that there are many senior management executives who go to some extravagant places to discuss collaborations. They spend ridiculously high fees and can even claim reimbursement from the company for the fees.¡± As soon as Ye Wanling said this, the faces of many people present changed. Ye Yuze also glanced around indifferently and had a general idea. Zhang Hui was naturally one of these people, but he did not give up. ¡°You have to know that some clients are very difficult to deal with. If we don¡¯t put in a lot of effort, how can we secure a collaboration?¡± Before Ye Wanling could retort, Ye Yuze said, ¡°I don¡¯t think such an extravagant client is someone with a good moral character. It¡¯s fine if we don¡¯t cooperate with them. Our Ye Corporation has never relied on opportunism to get to where it is today.¡± At the end of the meeting, many people were miserable. Firstly, they could no longer use the excuse to go to high-end places to spend money in the future. Secondly, they were given such a big blow by Ye Wanling as soon as she arrived and offended many people. Ye Wanling was naturally not afraid. As long as she was in the company, she would never allow such an existence to harm the company¡¯s interests. Chen Fei was already biased against Ye Wanling, so he naturally hated Ye Wanling even more now. She had just arrived, yet she had already taken him down a notch. How could he be convinced that she was on the same level as him who had endured so many years to reach this position? Zhang Hui was even angrier. How dare a young girl like her interfere with his affairs? Even if Ye Yuze supported him, he would not let Ye Wanling¡¯s time in the company be peaceful. But he forgot the most important point. This was not only Ye Yuze¡¯s company, but also Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s corporation. Ye Zhiyuan only had one daughter, and it was extremely difficult to ruin Ye Wanling. On the other hand, after Yan Ziqing returned, he started to work on the Yan Corporation¡¯s revival. Back then, the Yan Corporation could have been on par with the Ye Corporation in the country. However, due to certain reasons, the Yan Family migrated and the Yan Corporation gradually declined, leaving the Ye Corporation to prosper alone. Although the Yan Corporation¡¯s current standards in the country were far inferior to the Ye Corporation, they still had a certain economic foundation. Furthermore, they now had the support of manpower and resources. It was only a matter of time before they returned to their former glory. The first thing Yan Ziqing did when he arrived at the company was to hold a meeting. Some of the older employees almost cried when they saw Yan Ziqing. They were all Yan Ming¡¯s loyal subordinates. Even though Yan Ming had left, they were still holding on to the Yan Corporation¡¯s last line of defense in the country. All these years, they had had a hard time. When the Yan Corporation was still powerful, they had sinned against many people. When these people saw that the Yan Corporation was in decline, they pushed down the walls one by one and plotted against the Yan Corporation in the dark. Luckily, there were these few loyal and devoted elders, so the Yan Corporation did not completely have no place in the country.. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Yan Corporation had been through a lot in recent years. Even though Yan Ziqing wasn¡¯t in the country, he knew that Yan Ming must have offended many people with the way he did things back then in the country. Now that even Yan Ming had left, wouldn¡¯t everyone be able to step on this empty shell company? Yan Ziqing had returned to the country this time. Other than acquiring a few merger companies, he still had to find these people who had mocked the Yan Corporation and make them pay for their losses bit by bit. After the meeting, Yan Ziqing had a thorough understanding of the Yan Corporation. The next step was to arrange counterattacks. And what made him most curious was this Ye Corporation, especially this Ye Wanling who was completely different from the rumors. At this moment, Ye Wanling, who was in the office, did not know that she had been targeted. She sneezed. Ye Wanling shook her dizzy head. It was almost the end of the year and she had more and more work to do. She hadn¡¯t rested for nearly a month. Initially, Ye Zhiyuan was worried that his daughter had done it on a whim and had secretly instructed Ye Yuze to take care of her. However, he did not expect his younger daughter to be so decisive and quick at learning things. In just two to three months, she was already capable of taking on the job that he had given her. This made Ye Zhiyuan feel very gratified. Originally, he felt that his daughter¡¯s temperament had suddenly changed drastically. Perhaps it was because she only had three minutes of passion, but he let her be. This time, Ye Wanling¡¯s performance surprised and delighted Patriarch Ye. Therefore, Ye Zhiyuan planned to let Ye Wanling take charge of a company branch alone after the New Year. After all, the current job was just to allow her to enjoy herself. He didn¡¯t expect her to take it so seriously. He was very assured about his younger daughter. Ever since that meeting ended, Chen Fei had been holding a grudge against Ye Wanling. After all, many of the customers that he had were from high-end consumers, and they could be said to have been bought with money. Now that there were restrictions, it would be hard to keep these customers. The more Chen Fei thought about it, the more mentally disturbed he felt. He had originally relied on these few clients to get money, but now that his money path had been cut, how could he sit back and do nothing? Thus, he knocked on Zhang Hui¡¯s office door. When Chen Fei first entered the company, he was beckoned over by Zhang Hui. ¡°Teacher, why are you still so relaxed? This company is about to be turned upside down by Ye Wanling.¡± Zhang Hui gave a cold laugh and glared at Chen Fei as if he expected better from him. ¡°Can I not try to hold it in while the incident has happened so suddenly?¡± Chen Fei coughed awkwardly and silently poured a glass of water for Zhang Hui. With a fawning smile, he said, ¡°Teacher, guess who I saw when I went out a while ago?¡± Zhang Hui furrowed his brows impatiently. This disciple of his was still passable two years ago. After that, he only cared about currying favor with the big shots in the business world and kept making mistakes in his work. He had long stopped interacting with him. Chen Fei did not care about this. He continued to smile cheekily as he said, ¡°A few days ago, I met the second young master of the Yan Corporation, who was once one of the elites in the country.¡± When he heard this, Zhang Hui immediately straightened his back. He had once jumped ship from the Yan Corporation. When he heard that the Yan family had returned to the country, his heart stirred. ¡°Who are you talking about? The second young master of the Yan family, Yan Ziqing?¡± Zhang Hui asked again, afraid that he had heard wrongly. After getting a definite answer, Zhang Hui asked again, ¡°Is it just him? Was that old man, Yan Ming, there?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see him. I only saw Yan Ziqing.¡± Chen Fei was very pleased with himself. It seemed that he had gotten the news right. Zhang Hui must be interested in the reason why the second young master of the Yan family had returned to the country. Chen Fei suddenly thought of something. ¡°By the way, Teacher, I heard him talking about Ye Wanling with a friend.¡± Zhang Hui frowned even more. Ye Wanling? Why were they interested in this girl? What was Yan Ziqing¡¯s purpose of coming back to the country? As far as he knew, these two people should not have had any chance to interact with each other, whether from childhood to adulthood. And Ye Wanling was a young girl who had just started her career. This Second Young Master of the Yan family was actually interested in her. Could it be that¡­ he had taken a fancy to her? But Zhang Hui thought it was impossible. According to Ye Wanling¡¯s rumors, Yan Ziqing, as an outsider, should not know about the recent changes in Ye Wanling. His impression of Ye Wanling should be just at the stage of hearing about her willfulness and domineeringness. Zhang Hui could not figure it out. However, based on his experience, he had a feeling that Yan Ziqing¡¯s purpose for coming back this time was not that simple. Furthermore, he had kept a low profile, so there was no leak in the news circle. After Chen Fei came out of Zhang Hui¡¯s office, he was even more pleased with himself. He felt that he had finally done something that he was proud of. With his teacher¡¯s help, Ye Wanling¡¯s good days were over. Zhang Hui thought for a while and decided to wait and see. After all, the news of Yan Ziqing being in the country had not been released yet. If it was leaked, it might cause a stir. At that time, it would be easier to get things done.. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Wanling made this decision in the meeting, which certainly had no effect on some people who worked nine to five nights with a fixed salary. But she had offended all the higher-ups. Although she was the only daughter of the Ye family, many people were still unconvinced. Some people who did not know their place came to Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s office. ¡°Chairman Ye, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate for Director Ye to mention something about reducing the expenses of entertainment.¡± After Chen Fei left, Zhang Hui felt that something was amiss. Didn¡¯t Ye Wanling mean that she wanted to reduce their expenses? Zhang Hui immediately went to discuss this matter with Ye Zhiyuan. ¡°Then do you have any other good ideas?¡± Ye Zhiyuan did not express his thoughts. He wanted to see what this brainless person would say. It was time to correct the wrongs in this company. ¡°I don¡¯t think many departments need that many people. Why don¡¯t we start with the layoff?¡± ¡°Oh? That¡¯s not a bad idea.¡± Ye Zhiyuan held his head, wanting to hear what this fool had to say. The company was developing so well, and they could even talk about laying off employees. When Zhang Hui heard what Ye Zhiyuan said, he became even more furious. ¡°Chairman Ye, look, it¡¯s just like the Administrative Department. Do they need so many people just to maintain the rules and regulations? And that advertising department? It¡¯s just a bluff. Why do they need so many people?¡± ¡°Then in your opinion, which department needs more people?¡± Ye Zhiyuan had nothing much to do, so he did his best to play around with Zhang Hui¡¯s performance. ¡°Of course it¡¯s sales and marketing. Without these two departments, how could the company¡¯s business dealings be completed?¡± Zhang Hui did not notice the pride in his words. ¡°I agree with your plan.¡± Ye Zhiyuan nodded in praise. ¡°That¡¯s right. I told you this plan was better. If the company doesn¡¯t have so many idlers, naturally, we are able to save money.¡± Zhang Hui was very pleased with himself. Chen Fei came up with such a good plan and insisted on telling Ye Zhiyuan himself. When he was rewarded, he would definitely treat Manager Chen to a meal. ¡°Alright, I agree to carry out this plan. However, since you¡¯re the one who suggested it, you should be the role model.¡± Ye Zhiyuan glanced at his watch. He still had to eat with Ye Wanling later. ¡°Huh? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s appropriate for me to lay off the employees.¡± Although Zhang Hui said that, he could not hide the smile on his face. How powerful was this power? ¡°Since you¡¯ve come up with such a good idea, why don¡¯t we start with you? You can go to the finance department to collect your salary now. By the way, since you¡¯ve come up with such a good suggestion, follow it and don¡¯t collect a single cent.¡± After Ye Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at his watch. The time was just right. This daughter of his had insisted that one could only leave after work hours. Even if the company belonged to him, he could not act recklessly. He had to set an example for his subordinates. What a huge change. Zhang Hui stood rooted to the ground, unable to react. Why did he end up like this? ¡°Chairman Ye, this is Chen Fei¡¯s idea.¡± Zhang Hui shouted at Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s back. This Chen Fei must have done it on purpose. But there was nothing wrong with this suggestion. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time to clock out.¡± Ye Zhiyuan came to Ye Wanling¡¯s office and knocked on the door. ¡°Looks like you came out before it was time.¡± Ye Wanling packed up the documents on the table and took a look at the time on the lower right corner of the computer. It was just after work. ¡°It¡¯s going to be packed with people soon.¡± Ye Zhiyuan pointed outside helplessly. For such a big company, one would always walk outside straight when it was time to get off work.. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Let¡¯s go. What are you treating me to?¡± Ye Wanling picked up her bag and was about to walk out. ¡°Aren¡¯t you treating me to a meal?¡± Ye Zhiyuan helped carry Ye Wanling¡¯s bag. ¡°My chairman, please let me off.¡± Ever since Ye Wanling started working here, she basically relied on her own salary to spend money. Even though her father and three brothers would always transfer money to her card. But she saved all of the money up.. In this life, she only wanted to rely on herself to protect her family. ¡°Petty.¡± Ye Zhiyuan knocked Ye Wanling¡¯s head. ¡°Since it¡¯s your treat, I¡¯ll have a good meal.¡± It had been a long time since Ye Wanling had a proper meal. During this period of time, she had been studying hard at the company, so she usually just ordered takeout. At night, she would rush back to her room after a few bites at dinner. ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Zhiyuan said dotingly. Of course, he had to spoil his own daughter. ¡°On account of your good performance at the meeting today.¡± Ye Zhiyuan added. The lunch break was quite long. To ensure that the employees could have a good rest after lunch, and to ensure that they could work better in the afternoon. ¡°I know a good western restaurant.¡± Ye Wanling remembered that she often went to a restaurant with Luo Zihao. Even though this scumbag brought her bad memories, the food was innocent. Soon, they arrived at the western restaurant. Ye Wanling ordered several dishes without looking at the menu. They were all his favorite dishes. Seeing Ye Wanling ordering so skillfully, Ye Zhiyuan casually asked, ¡°Do you come to this restaurant often?¡± ¡°Ah, previously I would come with¡­Oh wait, I¡¯ve read it online before..¡± Ye Wanling almost said what she had done before in her past life. Who would believe this? Even his own father would find it weird. ¡°I see.¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked at the menu attentively and didn¡¯t care what Ye Wanling said. ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡± Ye Wanling felt extremely embarrassed and suddenly thought of this scumbag. She suddenly remembered that she had to pay for her own meals every time she came out. The details were clearly filled with lack of love. She could only blame himself for being a fool. ¡°Hurry up and eat.¡± When Ye Wanling returned to her seat, the dishes were already served. ¡°Okay, Daddy, please eat.¡± Ye Wanling was very obedient. She had worried her family so much in her previous two lives. In this life, she had to make it up to them. ¡°Isn¡¯t that Ye Wanling?¡± Shen Lin saw a familiar figure. He watched as Ye Wanling sat down and confirmed that he had not misjudged her. ¡°Mm.¡± Yan Ziqing flipped through the menu and did not look up. He had seen it too. ¡°Are you doing this on purpose? But how did you know she would be here?¡± Shen Lin found it strange. Yan Ziqing had called to ask him out for dinner. Last time, he had abandoned himself at the side of the road. That day, he swore that he would never believe this man¡¯s nonsense again. However, Yan Ziqing said that she would treat him to a meal at a very nice restaurant. He was still tempted. The moment she saw Ye Wanling, she understood everything. ¡°Young Master Yan, are you a stalker?¡± Shen Lin was really speechless. Even if he wanted to understand Ye Wanling, there was no need to follow her everywhere. ¡°Eat your food.¡± Yan Ziqing did not want to listen to this person¡¯s chatter anymore. He really didn¡¯t follow Ye Wanling on purpose this time. It was just a coincidence. Yan Ziqing drove to the Ye Corporation building and happened to see Ye Wanling and Ye Zhiyuan driving away happily. He had seen the information about the Ye Corporation, so he naturally knew that the man was Ye Wanling¡¯s father. The two went out alone, so Yan Ziqing thought that they might talk about something related to the company. Thus, he followed them all the way here. Since he was already here, he naturally had to find someone to pay for the food later.. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Wanling always felt uncomfortable behind her, so she turned her head to look. But there was nothing strange behind her.. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Ye Wanling and found nothing. ¡°Recently, I¡¯ve been feeling like someone has been watching me.¡± Ye Wanling thought that she might be under too much pressure. ¡°Lingling, I think you haven¡¯t been working for long, don¡¯t give yourself too much pressure. No matter what, your brother is here.¡± During this period of time, Ye Wanling¡¯s hard work had been seen by Ye Zhiyuan. He felt very sorry for his daughter, but he didn¡¯t want to dampen her enthusiasm. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just want to learn more so that I can share your burden.¡± She now had the awareness to be the daughter of the Ye family. ¡°You¡¯re already amazing. I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t be able to handle the morning meeting.¡± He wanted to help Ye Wanling, but it was obvious that Zhang Hui was deliberately making things difficult for her. However, after receiving his daughter¡¯s gaze, he did not say anything. However, Ye Wanling¡¯s performance was unexpected. She didn¡¯t expect Ye Wanling to grow so quickly. ¡°I must have made many higher-ups unhappy.¡± Ye Wanling also understood her situation very well. However, if a company wanted to get better, it had to be reformed. With reforms, there would be dissatisfaction. ¡°Of course. I don¡¯t know what Zhang Hui was thinking, but he suggested we lay off workers to save costs, so I chased him away.¡± Ye Zhiyuan was furious when he thought about this. He was just a small shareholder of the company. Why didn¡¯t he just obediently wait to split the money? Why did he have to be involved in the company¡¯s matters?! ¡°They¡¯ll definitely say it¡¯s because of me now.¡± Ye Wanling expressed that she would take the blame again. ¡°Do I need to explain why I fired someone?¡± He could be willful as it was his own company. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m full. Go pay the bill.¡± Ye Wanling put down the cutlery in her hand and wiped her mouth. Why would he need to be polite with his own father? While Ye Zhiyuan went to pay for the food, Ye Wanling touched up her lipstick in the mirror. Suddenly, she saw someone looking in her direction. When she wanted to take a closer look, he was gone. How strange. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Zhiyuan walked over with the bill. Ye Wanling had doubts, but she didn¡¯t think further. ¡°I was so scared. I was almost discovered.¡± Shen Lin patted his chest and panted heavily. Seeing that Ye Zhiyuan had gone to pay the bill, he turned to look at Ye Wanling. He didn¡¯t expect her to see his face in the mirror. Thankfully, he reacted quickly. ¡°Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Shen Lin looked up. There was no one else in front of him. He looked through the glass door at Yan Ziqing who was backing away. ¡°Sir, the bill hasn¡¯t been paid yet.¡± The smiling waitress blocked Shen Lin¡¯s path. ¡°How much?¡± ¡°Twenty-five thousand eight hundred.¡± ¡°What?¡± Shen Lin looked at the items on the table. No matter what, he would not be able to spend so much money. How many days would it take him to earn so much money? ¡°Your friend took a bottle of wine with him.¡± The waiter saw the confusion on Shen Lin¡¯s face and explained patiently. ¡°He¡¯s not my friend.¡± Shen Lin took out his debit card. When he ran out, the man and the car had already disappeared. ¡°I swear, I will never believe Yan Ziqing again.¡± With a loud boom, a heavy rain fell from the sky. Yan Ziqing held a glass of red wine and stood in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling window, watching the sudden change in weather. A City was about to experience great change.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°The weather has changed too quickly.¡± The rain continued until it was time to knock off. ¡°That¡¯s right. The weather forecast did not say that there would be rain.¡± ¡°Yeah, what should I do? I didn¡¯t bring an umbrella.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving now. My boyfriend is here to pick me up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving too. My friend is here too.¡± The people from the Administrative Department left one after another, leaving Wenwen alone. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± It had been a long time since Ye Wanling finished her work. ¡°It¡¯s raining too heavily outside. I¡¯ll wait.¡± Wenwen felt helpless. Everyone drove their cars, and those with boyfriends were taken away. She was left alone. Indeed, it was not easy to work alone outside. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll drive you.¡± Ye Wanling understood the difficulties of her worker She had read about everyone in the Administrative Department, and she knew that Wenwen had left her hometown to work alone. ¡°No need to trouble you, Director Ye.¡± Wenwen was happy, but she still felt that it was inappropriate. ¡°It¡¯s okay, let¡¯s go.¡± Ye Wanling had learned to drive very early. After all, there were so many cars at home, so it was very convenient for her to go out and play. However, in order not to attract too much attention, she only drove a simple BMW. ¡°Why don¡¯t you have a boyfriend to pick you up?¡± Ye Wanling knew that most of those girls had boyfriends. ¡°I just want to work hard. I have parents to take care of at home.¡± In order to give birth to him, his mother had fallen ill, so he was the only child at home. ¡°Working hard is the right way.¡± Anyway, Ye Wanling had no intention of dating in this life. She just wanted to work hard. ¡°Yeah, there¡¯s no other way.¡± Everyone had their own bitterness. Wenwen looked at the beautiful Ye Wanling, and her family background was also good. She definitely had no worries. However, with such a happy person working so hard, what reason did he have to not work hard? ¡°Thank you, Director Ye. Please take care on the road.¡± After Wenwen got off the car, she waved at Ye Wanling. ¡°Wenwen, you can do it.¡± Ye Wanling rolled down the window and gave her a thumbs up. Isn¡¯t this much happier than having a boyfriend? ¡°I¡¯m back.¡± Ye Wanling was the last one to arrive home. ¡°Why are you only back now? The rain is so heavy, and I can¡¯t reach you on the phone.¡± Chen Fang had been walking around the living room for a long time. ¡°Ah, when did my phone run out of battery? I just sent a colleague home.¡± Ye Wanling took out her phone from her bag and glanced at it. She smiled and scratched her head. ¡°Mommy was worried.¡± Ye Wanling was now very good at acting cute. Because she realized that it was very effective. ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll cook for you.¡± Chen Fang could do nothing about this mischievous person. At that time, they had always wanted a daughter. It wasn¡¯t until the fourth child that Ye Wanling was born. The whole family was wrapped by her around her fingers. Now that Ye Wanling had become so obedient, the whole family was relieved. ¡°Since Mommy wants to cook for me, then I¡¯ll have a bowl of chicken broth noodle soup. Remember to add an egg.¡± It was already so late, and Ye Wanling didn¡¯t have the heart to trouble Chen Fang anymore. ¡°Okay.¡± As long as her daughter was willing to eat, she was willing to cook anything. ¡°What smells so good?¡± Ye Zhiyuan smelled the fragrance the moment he entered the house. He had been dealing with tricky problems in the office and did not have time to eat. ¡°Go away, this is for our daughter.¡± Chen Fang slapped away Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s outstretched hand. ¡°You¡¯re so biased. I haven¡¯t eaten either.¡± Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s stomach growled with hunger. ¡°I¡¯ll make you another bowl.¡± Chen Fang shook her head. A bowl of chicken broth noodle soup was worthy of jealousy. The dignified chairman of the Ye Corporation was so powerless at home. ¡°Dad, you just came back too.¡± Ye Wanling had just gone to her room to wash up and come out to wait for noodles. ¡°Yeah.¡± Seeing his daughter, his fatigue was alleviated. ¡°Eat.¡± Chen Fang quickly made another bowl of noodles.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Aren¡¯t you going a little overboard? Your daughter has two eggs and a slice of ham. Look at mine.¡± A few green vegetables floated on the bowl. ¡°That¡¯s enough. It¡¯s good enough that you have something to eat. Don¡¯t ask for so much.¡± Chen Fang rolled her eyes. ¡°Sigh, I really have to lower my head when I¡¯m living under someone¡¯s roof.¡± Ye Wanling couldn¡¯t help but laugh. She was such a jerk. She had ruined such a happy family. ¡°Here, this egg is for you.¡± ¡°My daughter knows how to care for me.¡± Ye Zhiyuan only showed his childish side to his family. ¡°Eat your food.¡± Chen Fang didn¡¯t want to talk to him anymore, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare fruits for Ye Wanling. ¡°Dad, you¡¯ve been coming home so late recently. Is something the matter?¡± Ye Zhiyuan was the most worried about the company. She also wanted to share some of her father¡¯s burden. ¡°It¡¯s just a few shareholders who want to cause trouble.¡± Ye Zhiyuan did not stop eating his noodles. The company¡¯s current achievements were not achieved overnight. What had he not seen before? However, he always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. ¡°What is it?¡± Ye Wanling wanted to know more about the company. In this life, she existed to help her family resolve problems. ¡°Here, fruits.¡± Chen Fang brought out the fruit and interrupted their conversation. ¡°Thank you, Mommy.¡± Ye Wanling finally understood what the happiest kind of life was. ¡°Eat up and go to bed.¡± Chen Fang looked at Ye Zhiyuan and snorted. Having been husband and wife for so many years, Ye Zhiyuan instantly understood what she meant. He quickly finished the bowl of noodles and drank the soup. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Before Ye Zhiyuan left, he didn¡¯t forget to greet Ye Wanling. The door slammed shut. Ye Wanling shook her head helplessly, wondering what her father had done to make her mother angry again. ¡°Why are you telling your daughter so much?¡± Chen Fang saw that her daughter had been working hard to learn about the company¡¯s matters recently. She had lost a lot of weight. Even though it was good to have some motivation, the body was important. ¡°Didn¡¯t she ask? I was just saying.¡± Ye Zhiyuan also felt very aggrieved. Ye Yuze was the only one working in the company. If he had any questions, he could ask him. However, no matter what, it did not feel as good as when his little girl said those words. Now Ye Wanling was also in the company. Ye Zhiyuan felt that there was no harm in talking about this. ¡°Your words made our daughter so troubled over it, just you wait.¡± Chen Fang gave a stern warning. ¡°Okay, okay, go to sleep.¡± Ye Zhiyuan also knew that Chen Fang was feeling sorry for her daughter. Who wouldn¡¯t feel heartache? ¡°Should we do something humans should be doing today?¡± Shen Lin received Yan Ziqing¡¯s call again. ¡°Business.¡± Yan Ziqing only said that word briefly. Since the Ye Corporation was a tough nut to crack, then he would have to deal with all the easy stuff first. Shen Lin rushed to the designated location. He had prepared everything and was just waiting for Yan Ziqing to get down to business. They stood below the Han Corporation building. This building was going to be named Yan soon. Yan Corporation¡¯s companies had crossed many fields, so some powerful companies were Yan Corporation¡¯s sworn enemies. Anyone who stood in their way would be destroyed. The Han Corporation was an import and export trading company. Recently, they were discovered to be smuggling goods during a transport process and were immediately detained by customs. As a result, large defaults were paid. Even now, the Han Corporation still did not know what was going on. He had been in this line for so long, and there had never been any problems. All the goods were strictly enforced according to the law. He did not know how he had fallen this time. But no matter what, the other party would not accept any explanation. Three times the default fee directly ruptured the capital chain. Out of helplessness, he could only sell the company. Yan Ziqing naturally knew what was going on. ¡°Chairman Han, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely take good care of this company.¡± Yan Ziqing said generously.. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Chairman Han endured the pain and walked out of the Han Corporation with his personal belongings. Just like that, all his efforts were wasted. ¡°CEO Yan, what¡¯s your next plan?¡± Shen Lin held the acquisition contract and looked at Chairman Han¡¯s desolate back with a trace of sympathy. But there was no other way. The strong preyed on the weak. ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± ¡°Huh? Then you can go yourself. I¡¯m not going.¡± This time, Shen Lin finally understood that this landlord was a stingy person. He might as well go back and eat instant noodles. ¡°Alright, I was going to treat you to a meal, but since you¡¯re not going, then forget it.¡± Yan Ziqing shook his head helplessly when he saw Shen Lin acting like a miser. ¡°I¡¯d rather die than go.¡± ¡°Okay then, just buy some for me at the company.¡± Yan Ziqing spoke so quickly that Shen Lin did not even have time to react before he nodded in agreement. The corners of Yan Ziqing¡¯s lips curled upwards for a moment before he strode towards the door. ¡°Hey, no, why is it me again?¡± Only then did Shen Lin hurriedly chase after him. ¡°I heard that the Han Corporation has already been acquired.¡± Zhang Hui called a friend of his, Xie Hongke. Although Ye Zhiyuan had said that he wanted Zhang Hui to leave that day, after the layoff suggestion was rejected, Zhang Hui still retained his position in the Ye Corporation and did not pack up and leave. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Xie Hongke did not want to bother with Zhang Hui anymore. He felt that Zhang Hui was the best at exploiting tricks! He looked down on him! ¡°How could you not know?¡± Zhang Hui asked shamelessly. He just wanted to know what plans the Yan Corporation had. He also wanted to know if the Ye Corporation was in the plan. This way, he could make plans for his future. ¡°Then what is Ye Corporation¡¯s next plan?¡± Xie Hongke was very direct. He wanted Zhang Hui to know that the two of them belonged to different camps. ¡°I don¡¯t know about that.¡± Zhang Hui was telling the truth. How could he let himself know about the Ye Corporation¡¯s confidential matters? ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it when we know.¡± Xie Hongke hung up immediately. If he really wanted to sell out his company, then he might not be able to hold on. Ever since the Yan Corporation left the country to develop, there were many forces that would stop them from doing business. This caused the Yan Corporation to fall drastically. But now Yan Ziqing was back. Call for a meeting.¡± Yan Ziqing had yet to meet everyone properly after he returned. Those who had been protecting the company should be treated well. ¡°All these years, our Yan Corporation has been developing well overseas, and you should know this. Now that the Yan Corporation is planning to return to the country to develop, we have to take the lead.¡± Yan Ziqing¡¯s words caused a commotion among the crowd. Most of them clapped and cheered. Finally, there was someone who could back them up. However, there were a few who felt that their good days had come to an end. Before the people from the Yan Corporation returned, Dong Tianrui was responsible for everything in the company. He was Yan Ziqing¡¯s uncle¡¯s son. Which meant he was Yan Ziqing¡¯s cousin. Back then, when the whole family went overseas to develop their business, the local company was left to Dong Lingzhu¡¯s maternal family to manage. Ever since Dong Tianrui took over the company, the company¡¯s business plummeted, and the people below dared not voice their anger. ¡°Easy for you to say. You kicked away all these obstacles with just one sentence?¡± Dong Tianrui crossed his legs, looking extremely domineering. The Yan Corporation had already moved away many years ago, and now they were saying they were coming back. Although his aunt had already given him a call and said that even if the Yan Corporation came back to take charge of the situation, the Dong family would still benefit greatly. However, no matter how extravagant his words were, he was not as good as being in charge as the Yan family themselves. ¡°This is the Han Corporation¡¯s acquisition contract. It was signed this morning.¡± Shen Lin placed the contract on the table for everyone to read. He ignored Dong Tianrui¡¯s words. Yan Ziqing had long heard that Dong Tianrui was not a good person. However, he still needed his help with some business matters. He did not even have much feelings for his own brother, much less this cousin whom he had never met before. ¡°As expected from CEO Yan.¡± ¡°Yeah, he bought over the Han Corporation so quickly.¡± ¡°None of us heard anything.¡± ¡°Someone from the Yan Clan has finally returned to take charge.¡± There was a flurry of discussion. They had been carrying this burden for so many years just so that the Yan Corporation could return one day. ¡°Alright, I know it hasn¡¯t been easy for us all these years, so from today onwards, we will get back at anyone who has bullied us before.¡± Yan Ziqing¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. His words silenced everyone. ¡°Meeting adjourned..¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yan Ziqing had just returned to his office and had yet to sit down. Xie Hongke followed him in. ¡°Uncle Xie, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Yan Ziqing respected the seniors in the company. ¡°CEO Yan, you still remember me.¡± Xie Hongke was so excited that tears almost streamed down his face. ¡°How could I not remember?¡± Yan Ziqing stood up and went to the sofa. He gestured for Xie Hongke to sit down as well. He then instructed the secretary to bring in some tea. He had left C Nation since he was very young. It would be strange if he remembered him. He had only gone through the company¡¯s basic information before returning. ¡°Zhang Hui from Ye Corporation called me just now and asked me about the acquisition, but I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Xie Hongke felt that it was better to tell Yan Ziqing about this. Having been in the business circle for so many years, he naturally knew that the Ye Corporation was also within the scope of this acquisition. However, the Ye Corporation was now one of the top corporations in the country. This was not a simple matter. ¡°Who is this Zhang Hui you¡¯re talking about?¡± Actually, Yan Ziqing had already read the basic information about the Ye Group and had some impression of Zhang Hui. However, it would be better to give the authority to Xie Hongke. ¡°He used to be in the Yan Corporation. After you guys left the country, he defected to the Ye Corporation and became a small shareholder.¡± ¡°Then what does Uncle Xie think Zhang Hui¡¯s motive for calling you is?¡± Yan Ziqing took a sip of coffee. ¡°This person is a selfish person. He must have called to understand our situation and see if the current situation can be beneficial to him.¡± Xie Hongke had worked with Zhang Hui for many years, so he naturally understood him very well. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then just reveal some information to him.¡± Yan Ziqing already had a rough plan in mind. ¡°What do you mean, CEO Yan?¡± Xie Hongke didn¡¯t quite understand what Yan Ziqing meant. ¡°We need to let him know that our side is more beneficial to him. Even though he is in the enemy¡¯s encampment, his heart should still belong to us.¡± Since he only cared about benefits, things were much easier. They did not have any spies in the Ye Corporation, so it was not a bad idea to have Zhang Hui there to occasionally reveal some information. ¡°I¡¯ll call Zhang Hui now.¡± Xie Hongke immediately understood what Yan Ziqing meant. ¡°Lingling, you¡¯ve been in the Administrative Department for a long time. Do you want to go to the marketing department for a few days?¡± ¡°Sure, but who¡¯s going to do the work here?¡± Ye Wanling also wanted to go to different positions to gain experience. ¡°Bai Ting is the supervisor. If you¡¯re not here, she can take over.¡± Before Ye Wanling went over, it was Bai Ting who was in charge of the Administrative Department. ¡°I think Wenwen is not bad. We can focus on her.¡± After this period of observation, he realized that Wenwen was a very motivated person, and the department¡¯s system could be strictly adhered to. Compared to Bai Ting, Wenwen was more humane. However, she did not have enough experience in management. ¡°Okay, go to the marketing department this afternoon.¡± Ye Yuze had already arranged everything for her. He just felt that it was too boring for Ye Wanling to stay in one position, so he suggested changing her to another one. ¡°Have you heard? Ye Wanling seems to be coming to our department.¡± ¡°What? Really?¡± ¡°I heard that President Zhang was dissatisfied with Ye Wanling¡¯s suggestion at the meeting and was almost driven away by the chairman.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then we have to be careful. Otherwise, we might lose our jobs.¡± Huang Ningning, who was listening to them talk, felt very annoyed. ¡°Don¡¯t talk about it. If Ye Wanling really hears about it, think about how to proceed from here.¡± ¡°Sister Ning, aren¡¯t you worried?¡± ¡°Why should I worry?¡± Huang Ningning pretended not to care. How could she not worry? This was not worry. This was frustration and disgust. ¡°You were supposed to fill this position, but now Ye Wanling has replaced you. What are you going to do about it?¡± They all felt indignant for Huang Ningning. ¡°What can I do about that? The company belongs to someone else, so I don¡¯t dare say anything. You¡¯ve all saw what happened to President Zhang.¡± Huang Ningning was also indignant in her heart. Seeing that she was about to become the manager, Ye Wanling suddenly came, and she didn¡¯t know when she would be promoted. Huang Ningning¡¯s words immediately incited public anger. ¡°It¡¯s just a rich young lady coming out to experience life.¡± ¡°The company belongs to them anyway, it¡¯s not them being willful.¡± ¡°Forget it, forget it. Life is different.¡± ¡°Alright, go back to work.¡± This was the time for Huang Ningning to win over people¡¯s hearts. She knew that even if Ye Wanling came, Ye Wanling would not have a good time.. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, Ye Wanling went directly to the marketing department. She was not in a hurry to start the meeting. She only looked at everyone¡¯s employment details and their results. She soon discovered Huang Ningning. ¡°You¡¯ve been in this company longer than everyone else, but why aren¡¯t your results the best? I heard you¡¯re the one with the highest chance of becoming a director?¡± Ye Wanling showed no mercy. Before she came, she had already heard that the reason why Huang Ningning was doing so well in the department was firstly because she was an old lady and everyone had to call her sister. Secondly, she had a good relationship with Zhang Hui. As for why it was not bad, it was obvious. ¡°Director Ye, it¡¯s not like that. I¡¯m always in charge of managing newcomers, so I have not taken part with the sales.¡± Huang Ningning quickly explained. She did not expect himself to be the first person to be targeted. ¡°Then our company is going to have a new batch of down coats. You should write a proposal.¡± Ye Wanling just wanted to see whether this person was capable or not. If she wanted to gain a foothold in this department, she had to deal with this Huang Ningning first. ¡°Okay, Director Ye.¡± ¡°You can go.¡± Huang Ningning carefully closed the office door. ¡°How arrogant is this Huang Ningning? How did she end up like this after leaving the office?¡± ¡°It seems that this Ye Wanling is a ruthless character.¡± ¡°Shh, be quiet.¡± Huang Ningning naturally heard their whispers. Ever since Zhang Hui was scolded by the chairman, Huang Ningning¡¯s life had been getting worse. Now she had to write a proposal? She had not touched this thing in years. ¡°Xiao Liu, the company is about to send a new batch of down jackets. Write a proposal. If it¡¯s good, you can become a full-time employee.¡± Huang Ningning had an idea and handed this task to the new intern, Liu Yunxi. ¡°OK, Sister Ning.¡± Even the newbies knew that Huang Ningning had the final say in this department. Ye Wanling was just a new girl, so what if she was here? Ye Wanling was still in the office looking at some of the past work of the marketing department. She found that although marketing and marketing had a very close relationship, the two of them had gone out to eat, drink, and play for private matters, and reimbursed a lot of the company¡¯s accounts. ¡°Isn¡¯t this Director Ye? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Chen Fei spat out a mouthful of tea foam. He did not take her seriously at all. ¡°What¡¯s with these bills?¡± Ye Wanling directly threw a pile of papers in front of Chen Fei. He picked it up and took a look. Weren¡¯t these all bills from him going out to have fun? However, this was all a trivial matter. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the normal cost that comes from going out to discuss business?¡± Chen Fei spoke very nonchalantly. No matter what, he could not admit it! ¡°Is that so? But why did President Xu say that it was only you who went out to have fun alone?¡± Ye Wanling had called Xu Tianle before she came. Xu Tianle was the leader of the entertainment industry in A City. As soon as he heard that the other party was the daughter of the Ye Corporation, he immediately checked Chen Fei¡¯s spending record. Four out of ten times were his personal expenses. ¡°President Xu? Director Ye, I¡¯m really innocent. If I went out to play by myself, how would I dare to report this to the authorities?¡± Hearing that, Chen Fei felt that something bad had happened. He had never thought that a wealthy heiress who did not care about worldly affairs would be able to contact Xu Tianle. However, there was nothing strange about it. In City A, there was probably nothing that the Ye family could not investigate into. ¡°This time, I¡¯m only here to tell you that if you dare report this to the company, you have to be careful.¡± Ye Wanling became more and more like a leader. She used to be a pampered little girl, but now she was almost done learning the art of war. ¡°Yes, Director Ye is right.¡± After Chen Fei saw Ye Wanling off, he quickly closed the door. ¡°Pui, what is up with that?¡± Ever since Ye Wanling came to the company, she had looked for him twice. This must be deliberate. ¡°It¡¯s that BMW. Follow me.¡± At night, Ye Wanling worked late again. She was already used to this kind of life. After a tiring day, she did not notice a car following behind him. She planned to have some supper outside so that she would not have to trouble Chen Fang. ¡°CEO Yan, there seems to be a car following behind Ye Wanling.¡± Shen Lin had been financially supported since he was young, so he still had the ability to observe people¡¯s expressions. ¡°Let¡¯s follow them.¡± Yan Ziqing followed Ye Wanling to work every day. He was more and more curious about this woman who didn¡¯t fit the rumors.. Chapter 20 - Hero Saving the Beauty Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The other smaller companies were slowly being swept up. The most important one was still the Ye Corporation. Ye Wanling drove to a late-night cafeteria filled with people who had been busy all day. She ordered a simple set of udon noodles and was full with just a few bites. ¡°Stop, don¡¯t run.¡± Ye Wanling had just walked to the car when her car keys were snatched away. Without thinking, she ran after him. ¡°Look at this?¡± Shen Lin turned to look at Yan Ziqing. ¡°Give chase!¡± Yan Ziqing sighed. How was this a delicate young lady? She was clearly a tomboy. Shen Lin immediately opened the car door and chased after her. There were too many alleys here. ¡°I¡¯ve finally caught up to you.¡± Ye Wanling said breathlessly. She did not notice that two men were walking toward her. ¡°Director Ye, you still want your car keys today?¡± Ye Wanling suddenly turned her head and saw the wretched man behind her. ¡°No, it¡¯s all yours.¡± A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. ¡°What? You still want to run?¡± The man reached out and grabbed Ye Wanling¡¯s wrist. ¡°Who hired you? I¡¯ll give you more money.¡± Ye Wanling was not confused at this time. These people knew her and must have been sent by someone. Only people in the company would call him Director Ye. However, she had offended too many people recently. ¡°What have you done to our Brother Zhang? How much do you think is enough?¡± The leader said fiercely. Brother Zhang? Was he referring to Zhang Hui? But did he not want his life anymore? How dare he kidnap her? Was Zhang Hui really that stupid? ¡°How much do you want? I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Ye Wanling calmly analyzed the current situation. These people had not done anything to her, so they were probably just scaring her. More importantly, they must be working for money. ¡°Big Brother, this woman is the daughter of the Ye family. She should be able to give more than them.¡± A gangster who did not look very smart said. ¡°Are you stupid? If the Ye family finds out, will we be able to survive?¡± A hooligan who thought he was smart replied. ¡°Big brothers, look, you¡¯ve already caught me. My brother will be here soon because I sent him the location. Why don¡¯t you take all the money on me? You won¡¯t be doing this for nothing.¡± Hearing their conversation just now, Ye Wanling was not nervous at all. Because none of them looked very smart. She might be able to leave after a while. ¡°No, we¡¯re talking about justice. We have to ruin this woman¡¯s face today.¡± The leader thought about it for a while before deciding to stick to his principles. ¡°Alright then, save me! Help me! Sobsob¡­¡± Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Ye Wanling suddenly shouted. Then her mouth was covered. ¡°There¡¯s no one here.¡± Before he finished his words, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the alley. In the darkness, the face of the person could not be seen clearly. Ye Wanling also saw the person walking over. Was it her turn to play the Mary Sue plot? ¡°Hey, how did you end up reaching sooner than me?¡± Shen Lin was already unable to find his way to these people. It was not easy to find him. But Yan Ziqing was already there. ¡°Go.¡± Yan Ziqing only uttered one word before he stopped moving. Shen Lin sighed. You don¡¯t even know how to fight. Why are you playing cool for? A few minutes later, the three hooligans were beaten to the ground. Ye Wanling looked at Shen Lin¡¯s smooth movements and was dumbfounded. According to the plot, after saving the damsel in distress, the hero would devote his life to her. Then who should he give it to? ¡°Thank you.¡± Ye Wanling said to them. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Shen Lin chuckled. This Ye Wanling looked even better when she was closer. Yan Ziqing left without saying anything. Ye Wanling looked at this back and found it very familiar, but she didn¡¯t remember where she had seen it before. ¡°Then, Little Missy, we¡¯ll leave first.¡± Shen Lin quickly left with Yan Ziqing. Ye Wanling froze for a while and suddenly remembered that there were three people on the ground behind her. Her car keys were lying on the ground not far away. She carefully picked up her car keys, turned on her phone, took a picture, and ran away. ¡°How did you end up like this?¡± Ye Mingjie didn¡¯t have any matches recently, so he went home to rest for a few days. He had been waiting for Ye Wanling to come back, wanting to see his sister before he slept. It had been a long time since they met at the sports meet. But after waiting for a long time, Ye Wanling came back with a dusty face.. Chapter 21 - Not An Accident Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Third Brother, why are you back?¡± Ye Wanling was also surprised to see Ye Mingjie. ¡°That¡¯s not important. What¡¯s important is what happened to your face?¡± Ye Mingjie walked closer to take a look. There were tears on it. His heart ached even more. ¡°I just ran into a few hooligans.¡± Ye Wanling said evasively. She didn¡¯t want her family to worry about her anymore. ¡°What? Hooligams? Are you okay?¡± The whole family started shouting. Therefore, at 1 am, the whole family gathered in the living room. ¡°Lingling, what is going on?¡± Ye Yuze asked seriously. ¡°When I went to eat after work, my keys were stolen, and I got caught in an alley before I was saved. Ye Wanling gave a succinct description. ¡°I told you to ask your brother to come back with you after work, but you refused.¡± Ye Zhiyuan had always been worried that it wouldn¡¯t be safe for a girl like Ye Wanling to come back at night, but Ye Wanling said that everyone came back like that. She did not want Ye Yuze to come back with her, nor did she want bodyguards. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°Who were those people? Do you remember their faces?¡± Ye Wenhao gritted his teeth in hatred. Someone actually dared to touch the daughter of the Ye family. ¡°No, it was dark.¡± Even though those people had tried to assault her, she still wanted to find out who was behind this. Besides, those people were ordered around by others. They all had families, so Ye Wanling didn¡¯t want to ruin their lives. If they knew who these people were, the three of them would not be able to see the sun tomorrow. ¡°What about the person who saved you? Do you know who he is? We have to thank him.¡± Chen Fang said. It was not good to owe others favors for such a big company. ¡°I wonder who it is.¡± Ye Wanling only saw Shen Lin¡¯s face clearly at that time, but the person who gave the order should be the leader. ¡°You don¡¯t know anything. Okay, from tomorrow onwards, your brother will be responsible for your safety after work.¡± Ye Zhiyuan concluded. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Big Brother still has things to do after work. Plus, there are so many things to deal with at the company. Big Brother is already tired.¡± Ye Wanling really didn¡¯t want her family to worry about her anymore. ¡°I don¡¯t need to go to the office recently, I¡¯ll take Lingling home.¡± Ye Mingjie stood up and said. ¡°Sure, make sure your sister is safe.¡± Ye Zhiyuan only had one precious daughter. ¡°Yes.¡± The brothers answered in unison. ¡°Okay, it¡¯s fine now. It¡¯s so late. Go back to sleep.¡± Seeing such a warm family, Ye Wanling was even more determined to protect them. ¡°You idiots, how can you mess up something like this?¡± Chen Fei was infuriated. He had spent a large sum of money on this. This Ye Wanling had been targeting her time and time again. If she didn¡¯t do something, she wouldn¡¯t be able to swallow this anger. ¡°Someone came to save her.¡± The leading hooligan said. They had suffered serious injuries, and their medical fees were quite high. ¡°Trash remains trash.¡± In any case, Chen Fei had never really met them before. He had only taught them that Brother Zhang had asked them to do it. But the money had already been paid. He really couldn¡¯t understand. Not only did this Ye Wanling have several brothers protecting her, but now a mysterious person had appeared. Why was this girl always so lucky? ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯ll take a ride in your car to work later.¡± After breakfast, Ye Wanling said voluntarily. ¡°Sure.¡± Although Ye Yuze was confused, he agreed readily. Ever since this sister went to work, she had been very independent and never left with her family. What was going on today? ¡°What is it?¡± Ye Wanling had just gotten into the car and fastened her seatbelt when she heard Ye Wanling ask this. ¡°Big Brother knows me well.¡± Ye Wanling chuckled. Everyone said that an elder brother was like a father. This elder brother really took good care of her. ¡°It¡¯s about last night. Actually, I have photos of those three people.¡± Ye Wanling had just spoken halfway when Ye Yuze suddenly stopped the car. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you say so? Where is it? Let me see.¡± Ye Yuze, who had always been calm, panicked when he heard about Ye Wanling. ¡°Big brother, calm down. I didn¡¯t tell you yesterday because everyone would be worried, and I wanted you to help me find out who ordered these people around.¡± Ye Wanling slowly explained to Ye Yuze. ¡°This wasn¡¯t an accident?¡± Yesterday, everyone thought that it was just hooligans that were after Ye Wanling¡¯s beauty.. Chapter 22 - Resolute Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°No, it¡¯s because they called me Director Ye. It¡¯s obvious that they know me. They even said something about Brother Zhang¡­¡± ¡°Brother Zhang? Could it be Zhang Hui? This beast is really about to reach the end of his life.¡± Ye Yuze gripped the steering wheel tightly. He was so angry that he was about to explode. ¡°No, Big Brother. Think about it. If it was really Zhang Hui, would those people say that? I think it¡¯s someone else.¡± He had thought that Big Brother was the calmest person, so he had chosen to tell him about this. He did not expect that everyone would be so unsettled when they met him. Everyone revolved around him. ¡°Then who do you think it is?¡± Ye Yuze felt that what Ye Wanling said made a lot of sense, but he didn¡¯t realize it. ¡°I thought it might be Chen Fei.¡± She did not sleep last night. Even though there were many people in the company who were resistant to his sudden appearance, it was not to this extent. She was also the daughter of the Ye family. Who would be so reckless? But Chen Fei was different. Ye Wanling had gone to him twice, and her suggestion at the meeting had also hurt his interests. However, they could not rule out the possibility that Zhang Hui and Chen Fei had worked together to find these people. ¡°This bastard. If it really was him, then he definitely wouldn¡¯t let him off.¡± Ye Yuze said through gritted teeth. ¡°Let¡¯s investigate first.¡± Ye Wanling hoped that her guess was right, so that they would only be enemies. Those hiding in the dark were harder to deal with. And who exactly saved him yesterday? Was it really that coincidental? Why would a man with an assistant appear in a small alley at that time? These things needed to be clarified. ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Yuze started the car again and drove to the company. ¡°CEO Yan, they¡¯ve replied that the Ye Corporation¡¯s next step is the new product launch. The product launch is scheduled for next Monday. I¡¯ve sent the details of the new product to your phone.¡± The last time Xie Hongke gave Zhang Hui a call, he revealed a little bit of news about the Yan Corporation¡¯s expansion. He immediately expressed that he would contribute to the Yan Corporation now. In the future, if there were any benefits, he would have to think about himself. ¡°Okay.¡± Yan Ziqing looked at his phone. It was filled with fashion items such as clothes, shoes and bags. He could not make it too obvious yet. It was not a good thing to expose himself too early. In the Ye Corporation, Ye Wanling was reading the proposal made by Huang Ningning. How could this level of skill be comparable to someone who had been in the company for seven years? ¡°Did you make this yourself?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Huang Ningning had read and edited the proposal when she had it. Ye Wanling should not be able to tell that it was written by someone else. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Ye Wanling looked at Huang Ningning, whose eyes were wandering, and asked. ¡°Yes.¡± She would rather die than admit that it was done by someone else. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then that¡¯s good. I don¡¯t want to malign you. Based on your plan, there are no specific personnel arrangements, no model casting process, no location choices, and no backup plan. Are you sure you did this?¡± After seeing this proposal, Ye Wanling felt that there were more than one or two idlers in the company. ¡°Director Ye, I thought you were just looking at the general idea, so I made a simple proposal.¡± Huang Ningning suddenly panicked. She had always heard that Ye Wanling was a person who only knew how to cause trouble without reason. She also thought that she was just here to have fun. However, who would have thought that she knew all these? ¡°Is this how you work? I heard that if I didn¡¯t come, you would have become the director of this marketing department?¡± What Huang Ningning didn¡¯t know was that there were many people who didn¡¯t like her, so someone had already come to tell Ye Wanling these words. ¡°No, Director Ye, don¡¯t listen to other people¡¯s nonsense.¡± Huang Ningning was completely stunned. It was obvious that someone wanted to get rid of her. Looks like her good days were coming to an end.. Chapter 23 - Accidental Encounter Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Don¡¯t you understand that there¡¯s no smoke without fire?¡± Since Ye Wanling came to this department, she naturally had to deal with the bad news here. Zhang Hui had already been taught a lesson. How could anyone who relied on Zhang Hui to climb up the ranks have a good time? If he wanted to stay here without any real ability and wanted to be a director, he might as well go home and dream. ¡°I know, Director Ye. It¡¯s my fault. I will definitely work hard in the future.¡± Huang Ningning really understood that all of Ye Wanling¡¯s questions were asked with answers she already knew, so the lies she had just told made her look like a clown. ¡°I¡¯ve already given you a chance earlier, but not only are you bad at your job, your character is also questionable. Now you can go to the finance department to collect your salary.¡± Ye Wanling was now very efficient. Her life was too short, and she did not like wasting too much time on people who did not care. ¡°Do you have any other questions?¡± Ye Wanling looked at Huang Ningning who was standing still and asked. ¡°So you know everything.¡± Since she was about to be fired, it did not matter what he said. ¡°Do you think a rich girl only knows how to spend money?¡± If Ye Wanling had been in her previous life, she would never have had the confidence to say such a thing, because in her previous life, she only knew how to spend money. But it was different now. ¡°You¡¯re good.¡± Huang Ningning finally gave up and walked out with an ashen face. The people around them watched Huang Ningning pack, but no one said anything. This was what they wanted to see. Huang Ningning had been relying on Zhang Hui to show off. Now, she was finally gone. ¡°I¡¯ll treat everyone to dinner tonight. I¡¯ve already sent the location to the group. Everyone, please come.¡± Ye Wanling pushed open the office door, walked out and said to the staff outside. This time, they did not get to know each other in the office. Instead, they went to dinner to bond. After all, this was a marketing department, and it could be considered a practical exercise. ¡°Okay, thank you, Director Ye.¡± Everyone suddenly felt that this Ye Wanling was not as the rumors said. The group quickly received the location. Cumulonimbus Inn Room 88. ¡°Oh my god, this is such a high-end place. This Director Ye is really rich.¡± ¡°This also shows how generous Director Ye is to us.¡± ¡°I suddenly feel that Director Ye is not bad as the director of our department.¡± ¡°Right, I heard from the Administrative Department that this CEO Ye is a very good person.¡± At night, everyone arrived as promised. ¡°There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony. Everyone, order two of your favorite dishes on the menu.¡± An appropriate meal gathering could also increase cooperation between colleagues. ¡°There are also drinks. If you can drink, drink. If you can¡¯t, don¡¯t force yourself. Order whatever you like.¡± Ye Wanling was very generous. She had not spent much of her salary in the past few months, so she could afford a meal here. ¡°Hello, Third Brother? Ah, sorry, I forgot to tell you that our department is having a meal today.¡± Ye Wanling forgot that Ye Mingjie was coming to pick her up. ¡°Come then. I¡¯ll pick you up at Cumulonimbus Inn.¡± It wasn¡¯t far from the company, so Ye Wanling went out to wait for Ye Mingjie. Coincidentally, it did not affect everyone¡¯s order. Ye Wanling had just stepped out when she saw a familiar figure. She followed him for a few steps and saw him walk into Room 66. ¡°Who booked this room?¡± Ye Wanling stopped a waiter who was about to go in and asked. ¡°That¡¯s hard for us to say.¡± Normally, the people who came here were either rich or noble, so they paid great attention to privacy. ¡°I¡¯m from Room 88. Just now, I saw my friend enter. I wanted to go in and greet him, but I was afraid that I would be mistaken.¡± The waiter saw that Ye Wanling also looked like a rich socialite, so he simply said, ¡°It seems to be CEO Yan. I don¡¯t know further details.¡± ¡°Oh, then I admit my mistake. Thank you.¡± Before she could finish, Shen Lin walked out.. Chapter 24 - Benefits Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you the hero from that day?¡± Ye Wanling looked at the person in front of her and confirmed that she didn¡¯t see wrongly. ¡°Ahem, yes it¡¯s me. Why are you here?¡± Shen Lin didn¡¯t expect to run into Ye Wanling here. If he hadn¡¯t chosen this restaurant, he would have thought that Yan Ziqing had followed her again. ¡°Our department is having a meal. What about you? Did you come with your boss?¡± Ye Wanling said while trying hard to see the person sitting inside. ¡°Ah, yes, business.¡± Shen Lin closed the door without leaving a trace. The phone rang coincidentally. ¡°Hello, Third Brother. Ah, I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± Ye Wanling actually forgot her purpose of coming out. ¡°Give me your phone number. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal next time.¡± They had left in a hurry last time, so they did not have the time to say this. This time, they met again. This was probably a chance from God to repay his kindness. ¡°No need.¡± Shen Lin did not know whether it was good or bad to let his competitor treat him to a meal. ¡°Tell me so I can feel better.¡± Ye Wanling continued. She didn¡¯t like owing people favors. ¡°Alright, 134¡­¡± After Ye Wanling saved the phone, she hurried to the door. Ye Mingjie was still waiting there. Halfway there, he saw a message on his phone. ¡°I¡¯m already in the room.¡± Ye Mingjie waited at the door but didn¡¯t see Ye Wanling, so he asked the receptionist where the room was. She went straight into the room. The moment Ye Mingjie opened the door, he became the center of attention. The crowd was stunned for a moment before they started to get excited. Ye Mingjie confirmed the room number and walked in. He was used to such situations. ¡°Isn¡¯t that that celebrity athlete?¡± ¡°I heard he¡¯s Director Ye¡¯s older brother.¡± ¡°Director Ye didn¡¯t say that his brother would come. If I had known earlier, I would have gone back to change.¡± ¡°Forget it. Even if you dress like a flower, he won¡¯t like you.¡± Ye Mingjie searched around but didn¡¯t see Ye Wanling. ¡°Where¡¯s Director Ye?¡± The woman was so excited that she could not say a word. ¡°Director Ye has left.¡± The men in the department were calmer. ¡°Okay, have you guys ordered?¡± Since Ye Wanling wasn¡¯t here, he had to take responsibility. ¡°Yes.¡± The male colleague stood beside Ye Mingjie and answered him fluently. ¡°Third Brother.¡± Ye Wanling hurried back to the room after receiving the message. As expected, these women were already drunk. ¡°Where did you go?¡± Ye Mingjie knocked on her head. This seemed to have hit the hearts of everyone present. ¡°If I were his sister, I would be so happy.¡± ¡°Our Director Ye is not bad either. He might even be proud of having such a sister.¡± ¡°Look, she was already bought over to pay for the food before having the chance to eat herself.¡± ¡°¡±. ¡° ¡°I saw the person who saved me that day, so I followed him.¡± Ye Wanling whispered. There was no need to make it public. ¡°Then we¡¯ll pay them a visit later and thank them in person.¡± Ye Mingjie was also a very polite person. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Ye Wanling pulled Ye Mingjie to sit at the table. ¡°Sorry everyone, I didn¡¯t expect my third brother to come.¡± Ye Wanling was afraid that they wouldn¡¯t be able to have a proper meal. ¡°No problem.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Director Ye, you¡¯re too polite.¡± How could Ye Wanling understand that meeting Ye Mingjie was a greater thing than this meal? The dishes were served very quickly. ¡°Then let¡¯s eat. Don¡¯t stand on ceremony.¡± Ye Wanling picked up her chopsticks first.. Chapter 25 - Bring Me Along to Eat Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I told you to get a bottle of wine. Why did you take so long?¡± Yan Ziqing was talking to Xu Tianle, the boss of the entertainment industry today. On the surface, he said that he wanted to be an angel investor, but in reality, he wanted to slowly take over Xu Tianle¡¯s entertainment center. Xu Tianle was different from the people of the Han Corporation. After all, those who were involved in the entertainment industry had connections in both the underworld and the underworld. Naturally, he could not use force. ¡°I met Ye Wanling just now.¡± Shen Lin whispered to Yan Ziqing. ¡°Come, CEO Yan. I wish for our cooperation to go smoothly.¡± Xu Tianle raised his glass and said with a smile. He had been doing business in City A for so many years, and he had always known that the biggest company was the Ye Corporation, and this Yan Corporation was just a small company. If it were not for the fact that he had been keeping a low profile recently, he would not have needed investors. Recently, for some reason, there were always people coming to investigate. Even though there were people above him, he could not resist the daily torment. ¡°Okay, President Xu, I hope that our cooperation goes smoothly.¡± Yan Ziqing raised the wine glass in his hand and said. At the dinner table, both of them were flawless in keeping their composure. Even though the Yan Corporation had never developed in the country, they still had some connections. Since he was able to establish himself overseas and expand his business so much, his capability was not to be underestimated. ¡°Everyone, be careful. The guys have to send the girls back. Remember to report in the group when you get home.¡± The gathering had ended, and everyone was happy. Not only were they full, but they were also very satisfied. ¡°Okay. Thank you for your hospitality today, Director Ye.¡± ¡°Thank you, Director Ye.¡± ¡°Thank you, Director Ye.¡± The voices of gratitude rose one after another. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. It¡¯s not the weekend tomorrow. Remember to work on time.¡± The crowd dispersed, leaving Ye Mingjie and Ye Wanling in the room. ¡°Should we go thank my savior?¡± Ye Mingjie still remembered this. ¡°They seem to be discussing business. I won¡¯t disturb them today.¡± Ye Wanling didn¡¯t like to ruin other people¡¯s dinner parties. Now she had saved his number, so she could invite him to dinner alone one day. ¡°Alright.¡± Since his younger sister said so, Ye Mingjie could only obey. ¡°This is your bill.¡± The receptionist showed the bill to Ye Wanling. Hmm, 18 people¡¯s meals costing 60,000 dollars. This place was not bad. ¡°Have you settled the bill for Room 66?¡± After Ye Wanling settled the bill for her private room, she remembered the private room of her hero. ¡°They¡¯ve already settled the bill and left.¡± The receptionist checked the reply. Ye Wanling looked at the time on her phone. It was already midnight, so it was normal for people to have gone back. ¡°Did you just say you saw Ye Wanling?¡± After Yan Ziqing got into the car, she remembered Shen Lin¡¯s words. ¡°Yes, and she wanted my number.¡± Shen Lin said casually as he drove. ¡°Oh? Why did she need your phone number?¡± Yan Ziqing casually flipped through her phone. ¡°She said that she wanted to treat me to a meal.¡± ¡°Then remember to bring me along.¡± Yan Ziqing got excited when she heard that. ¡°But she didn¡¯t say she wanted to invite you.¡± Shen Lin was focused on the road and did not see the change in Yan Ziqing¡¯s expression. ¡°Then how do you account for you being in contact with our rival company?¡± Since he did not want to bring him along, no one could go. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a little cunning?¡± Shen Lin was speechless. Yan Ziqing crossed his legs and closed his eyes, not saying another word. ¡°Then you have to wait for her to contact me first.¡± Shen Lin still did not receive a response. ¡°Okay, if she contacts me, I¡¯ll take you there.¡± Shen Lin said helplessly. ¡°Okay.¡± Yan Ziqing pursed his thin lips and spat out the word. Shen Lin shook his head. What could he do with this black-bellied young master of his? ¡°We are in charge of the product launch this time. If anyone has any good ideas, feel free to say it.¡± Ye Wanling volunteered to come to the product launch this time. She hadn¡¯t done any big projects in the company for a long time and hadn¡¯t even planned a small event.. Chapter 26 - Product Debut Launch Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Coincidentally, the release of this new product was a good opportunity to train herself. Ye Yuze immediately agreed. If there were any problems, she could deal with them herself. ¡°I¡¯ve sent the new product to everyone¡¯s email.¡± This was Ye Wanling¡¯s first official meeting after coming to the marketing department. It was different from when she went out for a meal. She was strict when she worked. ¡°I think the theme can be winter, because I saw that most of the products are winter products.¡± ¡°I think it can be bright. I think our products are all bright in color, and it just so happens to be a bright color in winter.¡± ¡°I have an idea.¡± Intern Liu Yunxi raised her hand weakly. If it had been Huang Ningning¡¯s previous meetings, she would not have dared to speak. But after the gathering yesterday, she felt that Ye Wanling was a good leader. ¡°Liu Yunxi, right? Tell me.¡± Ye Wanling also wanted to know what this intern was thinking. People like them who had not been corrupted by this society often had the most unique ideas. ¡°I think the theme can be based on vitality.¡± Liu Yunxi pushed her glasses up and paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°Usually, spring is associated with life. However, people often overlook that many things have a tenacious life in winter. Our products use bright colors like green and yellow. Perhaps this is also expressing this point.¡± The crowd fell silent. Liu Yunxi was even more nervous. This was the first time she had revealed her thoughts in front of so many people. Five seconds passed. Ye Wanling took the lead and applauded. The thunderous applause explained everything. ¡°Does anyone have any objections to this theme?¡± Ye Wanling looked around. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s settled then.¡± ¡°Does anyone have any thoughts on the presentation?¡± Ye Wanling paid more attention to collective wisdom, so that she could dig out everyone¡¯s potential. ¡°Every year, at the product launch, we would find some models to do the catwalk and the media to promote it. That¡¯s all.¡± ¡°I feel like this is an era of internet celebrities. We can find some web celebrities with a lot of fans to wear our products to promote it.¡± ¡°We can also change our old style and not do it indoors. Since we¡¯re talking about vitality, we can do the catwalk on a field of grass outside in the open.¡± ¡°Other than the reporters¡¯ reports, we can also broadcast it live and send some coupons. We can immediately reserve a new model.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Ye Wanling was seriously listening to their suggestions. They were all good ideas. ¡°What you guys suggested were very good. It¡¯s settled then. Xiao Yu and Jingjing will be in charge of finding Internet celebrities. Junjun and Zhize will be in charge of the venue. Dian Dian and Hongwen will be in charge of finding the show host. Yunxi will be in charge of organizing this proposal. We only have five days now. Everyone, please work hard.¡± Ye Wanling quickly arranged everything. She believed that the product launch this time would definitely catch everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Director Yan, there¡¯s news from the other side that the new product launch was organized by the daughter of the Ye family.¡± Now, no matter what big or small matters there were in the Ye Corporation, Zhang Hui had to inform Xie Hongke. Every time, he would say, ¡°When the Yan Corporation becomes glorious again, don¡¯t forget about me.¡± Xie Hong looked down on the way Zhang Hui acted. ¡°The daughter of the Ye family? Isn¡¯t she ignorant and incompetent? Why would she hand something so important to her?¡± How much more skill did this woman have that the outside world did not know? Then why was everyone saying that Ye Wanling was unruly and willful? Is this a conspiracy or something? Yan Ziqing was even more curious now. ¡°Apparently, she requested it herself. I¡¯m not sure about the rest.¡± Xie Hongke was also curious about this. ¡°Okay, got it.¡± Yan Ziqing felt it was time for her to meet this Ye Wanling. ¡°Where do you think Ye Wanling often goes to eat?¡± Yan Ziqing asked Shen Lin. ¡°How would I know?¡± He was not a stalker.. Chapter 27 - Acting Field Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You should know.¡± Yan Ziqing looked at Shen Lin meaningfully. ¡°Big brother, I think¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯lll double the bonus.¡± ¡°Yes, I think I do.¡± When Shen Lin heard about the bonus, it was different. Therefore, Shen Lin stayed under Ye Wanling¡¯s company for two days and finally saw Ye Wanling drive to that western restaurant again. ¡°Hurry up, Aegean Western Cuisine.¡± Shen Lin quickly called Yan Ziqing. The various matters of the press conference were being carried out in an orderly manner. Ye Wanling was in a good mood and wanted to eat the steak of this restaurant. Humans still needed to give themselves a break occasionally. She suddenly remembered the phone number that she had saved last time. She had not contacted him for several days, but she did not want him to say that she was being fake. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the one you saved last time. Yes, yes.¡± Shen Lin and Yan Ziqing were about to run into each other when they received a call from Ye Wanling. ¡°Ah, you mean that restaurant? I¡¯m nearby too. I¡¯m with the boss.¡± Shen Lin could only make things up. ¡°I already said that you don¡¯t have to treat us. It¡¯s just a small matter. We¡¯re here.¡± ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll talk about it when we meet.¡± The car had already stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. ¡°Looks like you¡¯ve been lying.¡± Yan Ziqing opened the door and got out of the car. Shen Lin waved his fists. Who was he doing this for? He was still pretending to be innocent after getting a bargain. Yan Ziqing turned around and looked into the car. Shen Lin instantly became quiet and obediently got out of the car. ¡°Here.¡± Ye Wanling hurriedly greeted them when she saw them. She had already ordered the signature dish earlier. After all, no one here was more familiar to her than she was. Furthermore, she did not have much time. She did not want to delay her work because of her personal matters. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ye Wanling. Thank you for saving me last time.¡± Ye Wanling introduced herself first, but she didn¡¯t mention anything about the Ye Corporation. ¡°Miss Ye, my name is Shen Lin. This is my boss.¡± They did not want to reveal their true identities. Besides, Yan Ziqing was always outside, so very few people in the country knew about him. ¡°Hello, Mr. Shen, and er¡­ Hello Boss.¡± Ye Wanling really couldn¡¯t think of how to address this cold person in front of her. Even though he was a boss, wasn¡¯t he being too arrogant? So what if he was handsome? ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Yan Ziqing almost spat out the coffee he had just drunk. This woman¡¯s words were really shocking. ¡°By the way, this is my contact number. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. I will remember your kindness in saving me.¡± Ye Wanling handed over her business card. ¡°You¡¯re the marketing director of the Ye Corporation. I didn¡¯t expect such a beautiful woman to be so capable.¡± It was time to show off his acting skills. ¡°No, no.¡± Ye Wanling almost got carried away by the praise. If not for the fact of a scumbag, she had almost known all of all the lines of flirting in her previous life, she would have forgotten that she had another goal today. ¡°But what do you two do?¡± Ye Wanling gradually got to the point. She still wanted to know why they passed by so late. ¡°Us huh.¡± Shen Lin really could not make it up. He looked at Yan Ziqing for help. ¡°We¡¯re just a small trading company. It¡¯s not very famous.¡± Yan Ziqing said without thinking. Shen Lin gave him a thumbs up in his heart. His ability to lie was perfect. ¡°I see. Then I was quite lucky that day. You guys happened to pass by.¡± This boss actually knows how to talk. Was he born with facial paralysis? ¡°Actually, we weren¡¯t just passing by. That day, we were about to go for a meal when we saw you chasing after the criminal. My boss was afraid something would happen to you, so he chased after you.¡± Shen Lin had prepared these words beforehand. Anyone with a brain would think that it was abnormal for the two of them to appear there in the middle of the night. ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Ye Wanling soon dispelled her doubts. After all, there were no loopholes in their conversation.. Chapter 28 - Testing Each Other Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I heard that this company belongs to the Ye family. I wonder if Miss Ye is related to this company?¡± Yan Ziqing was also testing the waters. ¡°To be honest, I¡¯m the daughter of the Ye family.¡± Ye Wanling was a little embarrassed to say this, as if she was relying on the reputation of the Ye Family. Furthermore, she did not mention her relationship with the Ye Corporation because she was afraid that someone of unknown origin would harm them. ¡°I see.¡± Yan Ziqing said lightly. ¡°The waiter at Cumulonimbus Inn said that CEO Yan reserved the private room. Is this that CEO Yan?¡± Ye Wanling looked at Yan Ziqing¡¯s reaction and found it very strange. Most people would be shocked to know that they were the daughter of such a big enterprise. But this person¡¯s reaction was way too calm. And this aura, was he really from a small company? The last time she went back, she checked on CEO Yan in the country. There was indeed a Yan Corporation, but it was not very powerful. ¡°No, I¡¯m just a small boss. How could I afford something so expensive?¡± Yan Ziqing did not want to reveal his true identity. After all, not many people knew that he had returned. ¡°Then which company are you from? If you need anything in the future, I can look for you.¡± Ye Wanling really wanted to know their background. ¡°I¡¯m afraid a small company like ours won¡¯t be able to accept a job from a big company like Ye Corporation.¡± The more ambiguous they were, the stranger Ye Wanling felt. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s eat. We still have business to discuss later. You know how small companies are. We have to work harder.¡± Shen Lin quickly came out to smooth things over. If he continued to ask, he would not be able to hold on. After all, it was a lie that required countless other lies to mend. He turned around and glanced at Yan Ziqing. His face was still calm. The leader was indeed the leader. ¡°Your ability to lie is even better than mine.¡± After Shen Lin got on the car, he could not help but praise. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± How shameless. ¡°But Ye Wanling invited us to the press conference. Should we go?¡± Before leaving, Ye Wanling told them the location of the press conference. ¡°We can go take a look.¡± Yan Ziqing really wanted to see how this woman would turn the product launch into. The first thing Ye Wanling did when she returned to the company was to go to Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s office. ¡°Is something the matter, my precious daughter?¡± Ye Zhiyuan was having a video conference. There were some companies from the Ye Corporation in other cities. Seeing Ye Wanling come in, the meeting immediately ended. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just came to visit my dear father.¡± Even though they were all in the same company, they had only met a few times. Every morning, Ye Yuze presided over the meeting. Ye Zhiyuan would only appear when the company made some important decisions. ¡°I heard from your brother that you¡¯re planning this press conference. Did you run into any problems?¡± When Ye Zhiyuan first heard about it, he was very against it. Now, when he returned home, Chen Fang would say that she had made her daughter tired. Later, Ye Yuze said that Ye Wanling had insisted on it, so he came with her. Being scolded was nothing, as long as his daughter was happy. ¡°No, everything went well.¡± Ye Wanling played with an ancient object on the table. Pretending to be nonchalant, he asked, ¡°Have you heard of any entrepreneurs or small companies with the surname Yan?¡± ¡°Why did you suddenly ask this?¡± When Ye Zhiyuan heard of the Yan Corporation, he frowned. But because Ye Wanling was here, he quickly returned to his original appearance. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just happened to hear it.¡± Ye Wanling didn¡¯t mention her savior. She didn¡¯t want her family to worry about that matter anymore. ¡°Never heard of it.¡± Ye Zhiyuan shook his head. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll go back to work.¡± Ye Wanling looked at her watch and said. ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Zhiyuan sent Ye Wanling out of the door. After closing the door, he immediately called his private investigator. ¡°Check if the Yan Corporation has approached Miss.¡± What was the Yan Corporation trying to do? During this period of time, the shareholders in the company performing secret sales of shares outside had not yet been given a conclusion. They only had a vague feeling that it was related to Yan Corporation.. Chapter 29 - Successfully Solving the Issue Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Yan Corporation suddenly sent people back and soon acquired the Han Corporation. It was said that it was also related to Xu Tianle. This was definitely a big move. But no matter what, if they deliberately approached Ye Wanling or hurt his precious daughter, he would not let them off easily. ¡°The press conference will be held the day after tomorrow. Is there any other problem?¡± This was the last meeting before the press conference. ¡°Director Ye, there were a few internet celebrities who were supposed to come, but they couldn¡¯t come at the last minute.¡± Xiaoyu raised her hand weakly. ¡°Then we¡¯ll deal with it according to the breach of contract. We¡¯ll find another online celebrity immediately.¡± Ye Wanling said decisively. ¡°The problem is that there¡¯s no contract, so there¡¯s no way to deal with it this way.¡± This was the difficulty of the problem. These internet celebrities had very good popularity. When they contacted these internet celebrities, they did not meet up. But they had agreed verbally. Who could have known that they would back out at the last minute? ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Director Ye. This was a mistake that was made.¡± Jingjing also quickly stood up and said, ¡°Since there¡¯s a problem, let¡¯s solve it first. Let¡¯s not talk about other things first. We can contact some other internet celebrities.¡± ¡°Director Ye, you might not know this, but these few people happen to be the most popular people at this press conference. If they don¡¯t appear, we will be known as cheats.¡± The marketing gimmick had already been released. Many people had come because of these few internet celebrities. ¡°Give me your contact details, I¡¯ll contact them.¡± Ye Wanling had to do it herself. ¡°Hello, Miss Linda. I¡¯m Ye Wanling, marketing director of the Ye Corporation. Do you have time to meet me?¡± After Ye Wanling went back to her office, she immediately called Linda. ¡°Sorry, I haven¡¯t had time recently.¡± Linda rejected her. Someone had already given a higher price than the Ye Corporation to prevent her from attending this event. ¡°I think it¡¯s necessary for us to meet. After all, some high society connections should be very important to you.¡± Ye Wanling directly stated what Linda wanted more of. Internet celebrities were there to earn money. Once they earned enough money, they started to want to enter the circle that they did not belong to. ¡°This, Director Ye, I only have an hour.¡± Linda weighed the pros and cons and decided that she should listen to his suggestion. She also knew that Ye Wanling was the daughter of the Ye family, so her words were definitely true. ¡°Okay, give me the address. I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Ye Wanling took the contract and walked to the underground parking lot. Even though her conditions she gave was very tempting, if someone insisted on ruining it for them, she would not have much time left. Fifteen minutes later, Ye Wanling arrived at the cafe Linda mentioned. ¡°Miss Linda is indeed pretty. No wonder she has so many fans.¡± In this era, looks were justice. ¡°Director Ye, if you have something to say, just say it.¡± Linda didn¡¯t want to waste too much time here. To them, time was money. One more minute of live-streaming would earn him more money. ¡°Then I¡¯ll get straight to the point. I don¡¯t know why Miss Linda changed her mind at the last minute, but the other party¡¯s conditions have to be generous. What I want to say today is that the other party might have more money than us, but you should know that Ye Corporation has the best resources. If you attend our show this time, our company will prioritize you first for projects in the future. Furthermore, there will be cocktail parties in the company from time to time, and I will give you an invitation.¡± After saying this, Ye Wanling took a sip of coffee and didn¡¯t speak again. ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡± Linda thought about it carefully. Such conditions were better than having more money. If she could get to know more people from the upper-class society, she might be able to marry into a rich family, and she would not have to work so hard. ¡°And those internet celebrities, I believe you guys are related. They are the additional conditions. I hope I can see you guys tomorrow.¡± Seeing Linda hesitating to agree, Ye Wanling knew that someone must have done this on purpose. Who was the mastermind? She would definitely find out.. Chapter 30 - The Spotlight Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Yeah.¡± Linda nodded. They were indeed in cahoots. Initially, someone had come to ask them for a sum of money, and they had said that if they gave them more money, they could go back on their word. So why not? Even though she did not offer them more money, this was something that they really wanted. ¡°This is the contract. You have to sign it this time.¡± Ye Wanling took out the contract she had prepared in advance and handed it to Linda. ¡°Thank you for your cooperation.¡± The two of them each had a contract, and before they finished the coffee on the table, they had finished discussing the cooperation. After paying the bill, Ye Wanling hurried back to the company. ¡°The internet celebrities have been settled. Here¡¯s the contract.¡± Ye Wanling returned and gave the contract to Xiaoyu. ¡°Director Ye is amazing.¡± The two of them had tried so hard to convince each other, but to no avail. She knew that those Internet celebrities were complaining that the appearance fee was too low, but Ye Wanling had given them funding. The company was saving costs in all aspects, and it was the same here. Xiaoyu and Jingjing had given the most generous conditions to the internet celebrities at the most limited cost, but they still did not get them to cooperate. ¡°Remember to sign contracts in the future.¡± Ye Wanling smiled and said nothing else. Everyone would make mistakes. They already knew that they were wrong, so there was no need to say anything else. Furthermore, those funds were enough to let people take advantage of them. ¡°I heard that Ye Wanling used the excuse of high society to make these Internet celebrities agree with her.¡± Shen Lin was watering the cactus on the table with a small watering can. ¡°Why do you think cactus can survive in the desert?¡± Yan Ziqing looked at the cactus that was about to drown and asked. ¡°Are you saying that Ye Wanling is a patient person?¡± Shen Lin immediately understood what Yan Ziqing meant. ¡°I mean, like how you watered my cactus every day, it died very quickly.¡± Shen Lin retracted his hand while trembling. ¡°That woman has some tricks up her sleeve.¡± Yan Ziqing picked up the topic again. This time, Shen Lin did not react. The venue of the product launch was packed with people. In the past, whenever a company had a new product, they would invite famous people and people from high society to visit. This was the first time that everyone had the right to visit. The press conference was held in Century Manor. This was their own place, so they did not need to spend much money. Normally, it was a place where people from the upper class came to hold a party or a wedding. However, anyone could come in today. They also did some publicity for the manor. Yan Ziqing was the center of attention wherever she went. Even in the crowded manor, she was very eye-catching. ¡°Who is this handsome guy?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t see this person on the internet celebrity list.¡± ¡°Could it be today¡¯s Easter Egg appearance?¡± ¡°I think he¡¯s a special guest.¡± ¡°He¡¯s just so handsome.¡± The place was filled with chatter. Yan Ziqing was already used to this. Ye Wanling was busy setting up the scene. So many people had to be arranged one by one. The internet celebrities also arrived as scheduled and did not disappoint. In front of the stage were rows and rows of seats reserved for partners and reporters. As for the audience, Ye Wanling also prepared fruits, drinks, and some cupcakes for them to eat. ¡°Hello, everyone. This is the venue of our Ye Corporation¡¯s product launch. Firstly, we would like to thank everyone for taking the time to support us. We will also do our best to let everyone enjoy this visual feast.¡± Ye Wanling held a microphone in one hand and put her other hand on the side of her dress. Sometimes she walked a few steps to the side and sometimes she stood in the middle of the stage. The big screen behind her also showed her appearance. Dressed in a professional dress, she looked very capable and her speech was exceptionally calm. Yan Ziqing stood in the crowd and looked at the energetic Ye Wanling on the stage. This woman was completely different from the rumors.. Chapter 31 - All Fear but No Danger Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Alright, thank you for your words, Director Ye. Our Director Ye is truly talented on the outside but wise on the inside. Next up is our fashion show segment. This time, it¡¯s different from the past. The fashion show this time is not a professional model but a popular online celebrity that everyone likes. Please enjoy.¡± The host was explaining the process methodically on stage. ¡°Director Ye, bad news.¡± Jingjing was in charge of the runway backstage. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Ye Wanling hurriedly walked backstage. ¡°A male internet celebrity accidentally twisted his ankle earlier, but where are we going to find a replacement for him now?¡± Jingjing said anxiously. ¡°Sorry, I was too careless.¡± The male internet celebrity was also blaming himself. He was careless and tripped after putting on his makeup. ¡°He¡¯s fine. His well-being is more important. Hongwen, send him to the hospital immediately.¡± Ye Wanling looked at this Internet celebrity¡¯s ankle, which was already very swollen. She was about to go on stage for the show. What should she do? Who could replace a model? It was a pity that her two brothers did not come. Otherwise, either one of them would have been beautiful enough. Ye Wanling suddenly thought of someone who might be able to help. ¡°Hey, are you here with your boss?¡± Ye Wanling hurriedly called Shen Lin. Yan Ziqing was so good-looking that it would be a waste not to use him. ¡°Yes.¡± Shen Lin glanced at Yan Ziqing. ¡°Then hurry up and come to the back of the stage. I¡¯ll wait for you here. It¡¯s urgent.¡± Shen Lin repeated what she said to Yan Ziqing. ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look.¡± He wanted to see what this woman was up to. Thus, the two of them walked around the crowd to the back of the stage. Ye Wanling was rubbing her hands and waiting for them to come. ¡°You guys are finally here.¡± When Ye Wanling saw them, she grabbed Yan Ziqing¡¯s hand and dragged him backstage. Yan Ziqing didn¡¯t even have time to react. Was it really appropriate for them to meet for the second time? ¡°Diandian, help him change his clothes. There¡¯s no time for make-up, so give him a mask.¡± Ye Wanling said quickly. ¡°Bro, one of our models was injured. Please go up and take over for him.¡± Yan Ziqing was dumbfounded. What was this woman talking about? Was she going to let the second young master of the Yan Corporation go on stage for the runway show? And in a live broadcast? ¡°I will definitely repay your kindness.¡± The male model was about to go on stage. ¡°Just follow me.¡± Ye Wanling said one last thing and pushed Yan Ziqing onto the stage. Then she rushed to the front of the stage to watch. This was her first time holding a product launch, so she could not mess it up. But this person? Did he study modeling before? Why was his stage presence so good? ¡°Has your boss been a model before?¡± Ye Wanling looked at Shen Lin, confused. ¡°Ah, I think so.¡± Shen Lin just covered his mouth and laughed. He didn¡¯t expect that the usually arrogant Yan Ziqing would actually be subdued by this Ye Wanling. He was sure that he would be able to laugh for a year because of this show. ¡°Then your boss is quite talented.¡± Ye Wanling couldn¡¯t help but give a thumbs up. ¡°Okay, this is the end of our fashion show. Next up is the pre-sales segment. Friends who are watching the livestream are blessed. Next up, our popular streamer Linda will distribute the new product pre-sales in her livestream room. As long as you place an order today, you can directly use the ticket in your hands. Next, hand the microphone to our popular streamer Linda.¡± The host walked over to Linda and handed her the microphone. ¡°Friends and family, did you hear that just now? There¡¯s only one chance. The Ye Lin clothing brand under Ye Corporation has never received such a discount before. Family members, please be quick.¡± With the help of the internet celebrity broadcaster, the viewers were increasing. ¡°Thank you so much again. If not for you guys, I really wouldn¡¯t know who to send to save the show. I¡¯ll give you both one set of this series. Oh, no, make that two sets.¡± Ye Wanling said with a smile. Just now, it was a close call. At this stage, the press conference was basically over.. Chapter 32 - Accompanying a Monarch is like Accompanying a Tiger Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Miss Ye is really humble. It¡¯s my honor to be able to help you.¡± Shen Lin could not help but laugh. Yan Ziqing remained silent with a cold face. ¡°There will be a cocktail party tonight. Do you guys want to join? There will be many chairmen attending, and it will help with your work.¡± Ye Wanling didn¡¯t know how to repay them, so she had to find a way to help their career. One had to know that the Ye family¡¯s cocktail parties were not something anyone could attend. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go.¡± Shen Lin agreed readily. ¡°No.¡± Yan Ziqing couldn¡¯t take it anymore and left with a dark face. ¡°Is he angry?¡± Ye Wanling asked in embarrassment. ¡°No, he¡¯s just hungry. We¡¯ll meet again if fate wills it.¡± Shen Lin followed Yan Ziqing and ran away. ¡°See, I told you that this handsome man was a model. Even though he did not show his face, just his presence alone was enough to charm people.¡± ¡°But who is this online celebrity? I have to watch his livestream when I get back.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know who it is. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen him before, and his name is not on the list.¡± ¡°But why didn¡¯t I see Niuniu? Didn¡¯t he say he was supposed to be here as well?¡± Yan Ziqing was not in the mood to listen to these people¡¯s ramblings anymore. He quickly got into the car and into the driver¡¯s seat. When Shen Lin ran out, all he saw was the smoke coming out of the exhaust of the car. ¡°This person left me here again. No, he¡¯s not human at all.¡± Yan Ziqing drove all the way to the beach without stopping. That was so embarrassing. He had never been so embarrassed before. He, who was so proud and arrogant, actually became a model. But when Ye Wanling grabbed his hand just now, he didn¡¯t have the strength to break free, or rather, he didn¡¯t even think of shaking it off. The people in the family had always been biased toward their brother, and they did not care much about him. Be it at home or in the company, he knew that he had to fight for everything he wanted. As time passed, he became a person who kept people away. He looked at the surface of the sea silently, and waves splashed against the reefs. There seemed to be something strange about his heart. ¡°Um, can you give me your boss¡¯ number? I want to apologize to him.¡± After Ye Wanling finished the event, she thought about it and still wanted to apologize to the ice block. Because he looked very unhappy today. ¡°Well, I don¡¯t think he needs it. Even though he has a bad temper, he¡¯s not that petty.¡± Shen Lin had just returned home. Who knew how difficult it was to get a taxi at Century Manor? He thickened his skin and took a beautiful woman¡¯s car to the city. ¡°But I think this is too sudden, and I should apologize.¡± Ye Wanling didn¡¯t want to owe anyone anything. ¡°Then wait a moment.¡± Shen Lin hung up and called Yan Ziqing. ¡°Buzzbuzzbuzz, sorry.¡± Yan Ziqing hung up several times in a row. ¡°It¡¯s not like I asked you to go on stage. Why are you ignoring me?¡± Shen Lin mumbled but still sent Yan Ziqing a message. ¡°Ye Wanling asked me for your phone number. Do you want to give it to her?¡± In just two seconds, he received a reply. ¡°Here.¡± Ha, he really did value his love life over his friends. Shen Lin took a shower and went to bed after sending the number to Ye Wanling. He had to rest well. Who would have thought that he would need to run back by foot again from where he would be tomorrow? Accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. After Ye Wanling saw the phone number sent by Shen Lin, she was not in a hurry to call him, because it was already very late. Yan Ziqing lay on the bed and stared at her phone. The volume of his phone was raised to the maximum, but there was still no sound. It was daybreak. ¡°Why would this woman want my number if she doesn¡¯t call me?¡± Yan Ziqing glanced at the clock on the wall. It was six in the morning. It was time to get up. ¡°Lingling, I¡¯ve found out what happened last time.¡± Ye Yuze had been looking for them ever since he saw their photos. Finally, he found them in a small hospital. However, they also said that they had not seen this person before. He only had a number and a transfer account. Ye Yuze followed the line and found that the number was empty. The transfer account belonged to a person called Lin Liming. After a few twists and turns, they finally found out that Lin Liming was Chen Fei¡¯s relative.. Chapter 33 - Mothers Nagging Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°So it¡¯s him?¡± Ye Wanling had probably guessed who it was. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s Chen Fei. How do you plan to handle this?¡± Ye Yuze felt that since it was Ye Wanling¡¯s matter, it was better to talk about how to deal with it. Even if his sister said that she wanted to kill him, he would still do it. ¡°There¡¯s no need to deal with it, just leave it there.¡± Wasn¡¯t it just Chen Fei? He wouldn¡¯t be able to cause any big waves. ¡°Mm.¡± Ye Yuze knew that the current Ye Wanling was very different. Since she said she would leave her alone, she must have a plan. ¡°Also, he was the one who did this online celebrity thing.¡± Ye Wanling had just heard Ye Yuze mention Lin Mingliang. She remembered that Linda, the Internet celebrity, said that she was also in contact with a person called Lin Mingliang. From the looks of it, this Chen Fei was not much smarter than an idiot grave robber. How did this company get to where it was today by relying on such people? Ye Wanling felt that she should go to the HR department for a few days. ¡°What exactly does this Chen Fei want?¡± Ye Yuze clenched his fists. ¡°It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t stand it anymore.¡± Ye Wanling just liked to see him not being able to stand her, but not being able to do anything about it. ¡°Why did you keep him?¡± Ye Yuze was very worried that Chen Fei would hurt Ye Wanling again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Big Brother.¡± Ye Wanling also knew that Ye Yuze was thinking for her, but she didn¡¯t want to let him go so easily. She wanted the person behind the scenes. If Chen Fei was not so brainless, then he might have been used by someone else. ¡°Then you have to tell me.¡± Ye Yuze remembered that he still had some documents on the table. Since there was nothing more important, he left first. Ye Wanling nodded and then sent Ye Yuze out of the door. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Ye Wanling. I just wanted to say I¡¯m sorry about yesterday. I was too anxious.¡± Yan Ziqing was in the middle of a meeting when she saw the caller ID on her phone. Therefore, he hurried out the door. ¡°Then how are you going to compensate me?¡± Yan Ziqing listened quietly and waited for the other party to quiet down before she spoke. ¡°Huh? What?¡± Ye Wanling thought she had heard wrongly. ¡°How are you going to make it up to me?¡± Yan Ziqing repeated. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to a meal when you¡¯re free.¡± Was there really such a straightforward person? Ye Wanling listened to him twice before confirming that she had heard correctly. ¡°No, you still owe me a favor.¡± Yan Ziqing said bluntly. ¡°That works too.¡± Ye Wanling¡¯s mouth twitched. Did this man look paralyzed because he was too thick-skinned? Ye Wanling had just said this when the other side hung up. Hmm, not only was he thick-skinned, he was also very heartless. Winter¡¯s pace was very fast, and it was winter without the shadow of autumn. The windows were covered in frost this morning, and the trees on both sides of the road were only left with brown branches. ¡°This winter feels colder than the previous years.¡± Chen Fang woke up early to prepare breakfast for everyone. They did not like having a nanny around. Chen Fang did not have much to do at home, so she only did some housework. ¡°Yeah, I have to wear a cotton-padded jacket when I go out now.¡± Ye Zhiyuan replied quickly. ¡°You have to protect your old bones. Look at them, they don¡¯t look like they¡¯ve lived through winter.¡± Chen Fang complained. Ye Wanling and her three brothers were each more beautiful than the other. ¡°Mom, the company is holding a ball tonight. We¡¯re all planning to go.¡± Ye Mingjie explained while eating the bread. ¡°Good, good, good. You guys can see if there¡¯s anyone you like and quickly give birth to a grandson for me.¡± Chen Fang glared at Ye Yuze as she said this. No one needed to panic. However, as the boss of the Ye family, Ye Yuze was not young anymore. He was already an old man. Ye Yuze noticed Chen Fang¡¯s gaze and quickly finished his milk before leaving. ¡°Brother, bring me along.¡± Ye Wanling also hurriedly ate the bread in her hand and ran off.. Chapter 34 - Entanglement with the Su Family Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Why? Where are you two hurrying to?¡± Chen Fang asked Ye Wenhao and Ye Mingjie. ¡°Second Brother, I think I should buy a new outfit for the ball. Do you think you need it?¡± Ye Mingjie blinked. Ye Wenhao instantly understood. ¡°I¡¯m full. Let¡¯s go.¡± In an instant, only Ye Zhiyuan was left at the dining table. ¡°Madam, I transferred another sum of money to your card. You should go out and spend some money as well. Don¡¯t be angry because of them.¡± Ye Zhiyuan knew that Chen Fang¡¯s next target was him. ¡°Hmph.¡± Chen Fang snorted and did not say anything else. Ye Corporation was a very large company, so there was no need to talk about the employee benefits. There would be a few theme dances every year. Regardless of whether they were employees or friends, they could all attend. When Ye Wanling stood at the door, the spotlight shone on her. Ye Wanling was wearing a snow-white dress that sparkled under the light. Her long black hair hung on her shoulders, and her eyebrows were slightly curved. Her bright eyes were like the stars in the galaxy, and her eyelashes were long and dense, flickering like butterfly wings. ¡°Is this Director Ye? Her outfit today is too fairy-like.¡± ¡°A rich girl is indeed a rich girl. Her aura is there.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m used to seeing Director Ye¡¯s professional attire. Now that I see it, I¡¯m a little tempted.¡± ¡°Save it, you toad lusting after swan meat.¡± ¡°Look!¡± Three men in suits appeared behind Ye Wanling. These three men were handsome in their own way. Ye Yuze had a well-defined face and a tall figure. Everyone present knew that he was the company¡¯s highest ranking president. Then they looked at the man next to him. He had a clean, fair face, dark eyes, and an artistic air about him. The man on the right had a head of short hair. His tan skin looked healthy, and his eyes kept darting around. He was the famous star athlete, Ye Mingjie. ¡°This Director Ye is practically a winner in life. She has money, looks, and three handsome brothers who dote on her.¡± All of a sudden, the envious voices of Ye Wanling rose and fell. ¡°Brother Ye Yuze.¡± A sweet voice came from behind. Ye Yuze shivered, knowing that his nightmare was coming. Everyone knew that Ye Yuze was not afraid of anything except Su Yaning calling him brother. ¡°Brother Ye Yuze, why are you ignoring me?¡± Before he could take a step, Su Yaning had already arrived before him. ¡°You¡¯re here too.¡± Ye Yuze greeted him awkwardly. ¡°Auntie sent me here to play.¡± The happiest thing about Su Yaning was that she could see Ye Yuze every day. The happiest thing was that she was with Ye Yuze every day. Of course, these were her dreams for now. ¡°Hey, who is this? She¡¯s so pretty.¡± Su Beiluo tried his best to catch up but failed to catch up to his infatuated sister. ¡°Hello, Brother Su.¡± Ye Wanling greeted her obediently. The Su family and the Ye family were long-time friends. It could be said that the two families were very good friends from the generation of Great-grandfather. Anyone who treated you well without blood ties was a gift from heaven. This was the relationship between the Su and Ye families. When it came to their grandfather¡¯s generation, they fought together. However, they had agreed that they would each conquer half of the country. Therefore, they were split into the Ye and Su companies. Later, Su Beiluo¡¯s father was a romantic person, so he took their mother to travel around the world and did not pay much attention to the company. It had always been Su Beiluo taking care of it. Naturally, it could not compare to the size of the Ye Corporation. However, the relationship between the Ye family and the Su family had always been very good. Even in their generation, their relationship was also very good. ¡°Hm? Now?¡± Ye Wanling picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from the ¡°stoic man¡±. Due to the fact that she still owed him a favor, Ye Wanling hurried to a place with few people and answered the call. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m at Joyful Sky Hotel.¡± Hearing that it was time to return the favor, Ye Wanling had to give in. It would be good to quickly repay her debts.. Chapter 35 - Testimonial Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Wanling took a look at them, who were chatting happily, and hurriedly sneaked out. Otherwise, what excuse should she use to get out openly? Furthermore, if his brothers knew that she was going out with a man, she would probably end up with three more bodyguards. ¡°Here.¡± Ye Wanling saw Yan Ziqing¡¯s car and waved her hand. It was not easy for her to walk in this outfit. Yan Ziqing got out of the car and opened the door for her, and Ye Wanling got in. ¡°Sister Lingling.¡± When Su Beiluo came out of the car to take something, he saw Ye Wanling sitting into a black car. He looked closely at the man who was about to get into the driver¡¯s seat. ¡°Yan Ziqing? He¡¯s back?¡± Su Beiluo could not believe his eyes. The two of them had been classmates since the morning shift, and they had become sworn enemies since then. It was mainly because Yan Ziqing had stolen Su Beiluo¡¯s limelight and caused him to embarrass himself in front of the girl he liked. Therefore, from then on, Su Beiluo had decided that he would do anything that could cause trouble for Yan Ziqing. Ye Wanling seemed to have heard someone calling her just now, but when she turned around, she didn¡¯t see anyone she was familiar with. Maybe she heard wrongly because she was being sneaky and imagined it? ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Yan Ziqing did not drive very fast. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Why did you call me out? What do you need me to do?¡± Ye Wanling had to go back before her brothers found out. ¡°Be my girlfriend.¡± Ye Wanling almost bumped into the windshield. ¡°What did you say?¡± Isn¡¯t this a little too direct? She would be the one being owed a favor after that. ¡°I said, pretend to be my girlfriend. Do you know how to do that?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m good at that.¡± If it were any other scenario, she really would not know how to act, but she would get full marks for being the best girlfriend. In her previous life, she had sacrificed her entire family just to be a girlfriend. ¡°Ahem, looks like you do it often.¡± Yan Ziqing almost choked to death. ¡°No, no. I mean, I often watch this type of television series.¡± Ye Wanling realized what she had said and hurriedly explained. Soon, they came to the restaurant that Ye Wanling was very familiar with. ¡°We get off here.¡± Yan Ziqing went around and opened the door for Ye Wanling. Ye Wanling looked at his outstretched hand and was stunned for a moment. Why did this scene remind her of that jerk from back then? This familiar feeling was disgusting. ¡°You promised me. I won¡¯t take advantage of you.¡± Yan Ziqing was very righteous. Ye Wanling rolled her eyes in her heart and put her hand on it. It was only a matter of time before he returned the favor. ¡°Nephew, here.¡± Yan Ming¡¯s personal assistant Jin Mingsheng called them over. Yan Ziqing wanted to ignore him, but he had no choice. After all, he was sent here by his father. Although Yan Ziqing hated Yan Ming for only thinking of his brother, he still respected him. Last week, Yan Ming called Yan Ziqing over a video conference and scolded him. He said that Yan Ziqing was a good-for-nothing. He had been back in the country for so long, but he had not done anything. He had merely cleaned up an insignificant small company. What he could not accept the most was Yan Ming saying that he was not as good as his big brother, Yan Hexuan. ¡°I¡¯m already with the Ye Corporation¡¯s most beloved daughter. I¡¯ll definitely take over the Ye Corporation bit by bit.¡± Yan Ziqing was so angry that he blurted out those words. Since ancient times, there was never too much deception in war. No matter what methods were used, as long as they could get what they wanted, it was fine. Yan Ming gave up. However, it only took a week for Jin Mingsheng to arrive. Although Jin Mingsheng said he was here to see the development of the company, Yan Ziqing knew very well that he was here to see if he was really with Ye Wanling. However, Yan Ziqing directly told Jin Mingsheng that he was to use a fake identity, otherwise Ye Wanling would be on guard. So if he wanted to meet him, Jin Mingsheng had to come as Yan Ziqing¡¯s uncle. Jin Mingsheng agreed very quickly. He just needed to complete the mission given to him by his boss.. Chapter 36 - Fully Repayment of Kindness Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Hello, Uncle.¡± On the way there, Yan Ziqing told her that the person sitting inside was his uncle. His family had been annoying and urged him to get married, so he said that he had a girlfriend. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. It¡¯s better to see her than to hear about her. She¡¯s really pretty.¡± Jin Mingli acted like an uncle. ¡°Uncle, you flatter me.¡± Ye Wanling smiled shyly. Seeing that they were about to start an awkward conversation, Yan Ziqing quickly came out and said, ¡°Lingling packed up just to see you.¡± This was why Yan Ziqing chose this day. He knew that there would be a ball at the Ye Corporation tonight, and he also knew that Ye Wanling would definitely go. It would also show how much Ye Wanling valued her meeting with her family, and it would be more credible. ¡°Come, Lingling, see what you like to eat?¡± Jin Mingsheng handed the menu to Ye Wanling. ¡°I can do anything. Uncle, just order some.¡± Ye Wanling tried to pretend to be dignified and generous. Jin Mingsheng could not refuse, so he ordered a few dishes. Eating was not the main point. ¡°Lingling, I heard you¡¯re the daughter of the Ye Corporation?¡± Jin Mingsheng gradually entered the main topic. ¡°Mm.¡± Ye Wanling nodded. This man could really say anything to prevent his family from rushing him to get married. The young lady from the Ye Corporation was already with him. It would be unreasonable to urge him to get married again. ¡°Then how did you fall for my nephew?¡± Jin Mingsheng joked around. ¡°Mm¡­¡± There was nothing about this in the script. ¡°Your nephew is very good-looking. Look at his height, figure, and business ability. His stage presence was very good during the catwalk.¡± Yan Ziqing spat a mouthful of coffee on the table. Why was this woman going off-topic? Besides, was there anything else he could say other than his looks? What would Jin Mingsheng tell the old man at home? Did he say ¡°your son is working hard by selling his looks¡±? ¡°Oh, so my nephew knows how to walk the runway.¡± Jin Mingsheng smiled at Yan Ziqing meaningfully. ¡°Here¡¯s your favorite sausage.¡± Yan Ziqing picked up half a sausage and put it in Ye Wanling¡¯s bowl. ¡°It¡¯s okay, just eat.¡± Is this guy testing my limits? He knows that I hate sausages the most. ¡°This is for you.¡± Looking at Ye Wanling¡¯s expression, Yan Ziqing was very happy. ¡°Lingling, how did you two meet?¡± Jin Mingsheng continued to ask these basic questions. ¡°One day, I saw a stray cat on the road. When I came back from shopping, I saw this handsome man feeding the cat. That¡¯s how I met him.¡± They had already discussed this on the way here. It was said that it was to show that she had a heart, and a kind girl would be liked by her family. ¡°Pretty good.¡± Jin Mingsheng nodded. Seeing Jin Mingsheng¡¯s satisfied smile, Ye Wanling finally breathed a sigh of relief. This favor was finally repaid. However, as his girlfriend, she was too incompetent. She did not even know her boyfriend¡¯s name. ¡°Sorry, I need to take this call.¡± What she was afraid of came true. Ye Wenhao¡¯s profile picture lit up on her phone screen, making her panic. Ye Wanling hurriedly ran to the bathroom. ¡°Second Brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Ye Wanling asked weakly. ¡°Lingling, where have you been? We haven¡¯t seen you around, we were all worried about you.¡± Ye Wenhao said softly. This second brother of hers was just a little gentler than the other two. His every move was filled with the aura of an artist. ¡°Second Brother, I met a friend and came out for a meal.¡± Although she was already an adult, after what happened last time, the whole family was very concerned about Ye Wanling going out alone at night. ¡°That¡¯s good. Don¡¯t be too late.¡± Ye Wenhao said gently. ¡°Okay.¡± Fortunately, it was her second brother. If it was her third brother, he would have rushed over immediately. After hanging up the phone, Ye Wanling looked at herself in the mirror. No matter which life she lived in, she had never lost her ability to lie without blushing.. Chapter 37 - Intention to Get Close Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°CEO Yan, I will tell Old Master Yan the truth when I return.¡± Jin Mingsheng returned to his respectful demeanor. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be too honest. Just say that we¡¯re really together.¡± Yan Ziqing wiped his mouth and said. If the truth was out, everyone would look down on him. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take my leave then. Please continue.¡± Jin Mingsheng had already confirmed the authenticity of their relationship, so there was no need for him to stay. He decided to leave the time for the two of them. ¡°Where¡¯s your uncle?¡± Ye Wanling didn¡¯t see Jin Mingsheng after she came back. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Yan Ziqing said coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve returned the favor. I¡¯ll leave now.¡± This stoic face. She had just cooperated with him to put on such a big show, and now his face was paralyzed again. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? If we want to put on a show, we have to finish it. I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡± Yan Ziqing didn¡¯t wait for Ye Wanling to speak and went to the door first. ¡°Miss, the bill for your meal hasn¡¯t been settled yet.¡± Ye Wanling smiled awkwardly. ¡°I have a card here. Just deduct from it.¡± So this stoic man was trying to get her to settle the score. Obviously, she had been tricked. He was asking her to treat him to a meal and to return a favor as well. ¡°Then what is your name?¡± The waiter said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Ye. She¡¯s new. Please take care.¡± The restaurant manager hurried over and said. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Ye Wanling nodded and walked out of the door. ¡°So, what¡¯s your name?¡± Ye Wanling finally asked the question in her heart. It had been so long, but she still didn¡¯t know anything about him, but he had seen through everything about her. She felt very uneasy. ¡°Yan Ziqing.¡± Even if he did not say it, she would know immediately. ¡°Ah, I think I¡¯ve heard this name somewhere before.¡± Ye Wanling tried hard to recall. It seemed to be on some web page. ¡°Alright, we¡¯re home.¡± Before Ye Wanling could remember where she had seen this person¡¯s name, the car had already stopped at her door. ¡°Oh, goodbye.¡± Ye Wanling was the first to return home. ¡°Why are you back so early? Where are your brothers?¡± Seeing that only Ye Wanling came back, Chen Fang asked a little angrily. It was so dark outside, how could he let his sister come back by herself? ¡°I went to have dinner with a friend, so I came back on my own.¡± Ye Wanling hurriedly explained. She did not want to allow her brothers to be blamed for this. ¡°These few brothers of yours.¡± Seeing that Chen Fang still wanted to say something, Ye Wanling hurriedly said, ¡°Mom, I¡¯m really uncomfortable in this dress. I¡¯m going to wash up and rest. You should rest early too.¡± Then she hurried back to her room. Her room was the biggest in their home because not only was there a large bathroom, there was also a study and a walk-in closet. It could be said that her bedroom was a three-bedroom apartment. Before she could change into her pajamas, she rushed to the computer. In just three seconds, the computer was ready. Ye Wanling quickly typed ¡°Yan Ziqing¡± into the Baidu Encyclopedia. The first one was the introduction of the Yan Corporation. It stated that Yan Ziqing was the second young master of the Yan family. So he was not just an ordinary boss. So why did he lie to her? ¡°Chairman Ye, I¡¯ve been investigating Yan Ziqing recently. I found out that he had dinner with Miss today.¡± The detective quickly replied. ¡°Okay, I understand.¡± Ye Zhiyuan hurried home. ¡°Is Lingling back?¡± She asked Chen Fang the moment she entered. ¡°I¡¯m back. In the bedroom.¡± Chen Fang didn¡¯t know why she asked her daughter if she was back, but she still answered quickly. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m fine.¡± Ye Zhiyuan didn¡¯t know how to tell Ye Wanling about the Yan Corporation. He didn¡¯t know the relationship between Ye Wanling and Yan Ziqing, and he was also afraid of hurting Ye Wanling¡¯s heart. At least for now, it seemed that Yan Ziqing didn¡¯t intend to hurt Ye Wanling. ¡°Lingling, are you asleep?¡± Ye Zhiyuan knocked lightly on the door and asked. ¡°Not yet.¡± Ye Wanling had just taken a shower and changed into her pajamas. Hearing Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s voice, she walked over and opened the door.. Chapter 38 - Finding Their Way Here Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°What is it, Daddy?¡± Ye Zhiyuan walked into Ye Wanling¡¯s room. He rarely went into Ye Wanling¡¯s room because he felt that girls needed their own personal space when they grew up. Furthermore, he was a father. Usually, Chen Fang was the one who came in when there was something. ¡°I just didn¡¯t see you at the ball, so I wanted to see if you were busy.¡± Ye Zhiyuan asked carefully. ¡°I went out for a meal with a friend.¡± Ye Wanling answered simply. ¡°Friend? Male or female? Don¡¯t overthink it. I¡¯m just concerned about you. If you don¡¯t want to tell me, you don¡¯t have to.¡± Ye Zhiyuan rubbed his hands nervously. ¡°A man, just a normal friend.¡± Ye Wanling told the truth. Maybe they weren¡¯t even friends. ¡°Ah, okay. I just wanted to say that we should avoid interacting with people of unknown backgrounds.¡± Ye Zhiyuan felt that he could only say this much. ¡°Dad, do you know something?¡± Ye Wanling felt that Ye Zhiyuan was talking strangely today. ¡°What?¡± Ye Zhiyuan was still confused. ¡°Nothing.¡± Since no one wanted to make things clear, then there was no need to. ¡°Okay, rest early.¡± Ye Zhiyuan stood up and left. At night, Ye Wanling tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She really wanted to call Yan Ziqing and ask why he lied to her. However, she did not dial the number. The sun rose. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± The more Su Beiluo thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. The next morning, he went to Yan Corporation¡¯s company. He headed straight for the CEO¡¯s office. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, CEO Yan. I really couldn¡¯t stop him.¡± The lady at the front desk could not follow him. Several security guards followed behind him. ¡°Okay, go out.¡± Yan Ziqing knew that these employees could not be blamed. After all, he knew Su Beiluo¡¯s personality very well. If he wanted to come in, no one could stop him. ¡°You¡¯re still so rash. No wonder that girl doesn¡¯t like you.¡± Yan Ziqing deliberately brought up this sad past. ¡°Yan Ziqing, how dare you bring this up? Let me tell you, the country is no longer under the Yan Corporation.¡± Su Beiluo said excitedly. ¡°So is it related to the Su Corporation?¡± Yan Ziqing¡¯s simple sentence made him choke. ¡°It has nothing to do with the Su Corporation. My sister will marry Ye Yuze, and I will marry the daughter of the Ye family.¡± Of course, the latter half of the sentence was nonsense. It was just wishful thinking on his part. ¡°Really?¡± Su Beiluo always acted like a clown in front of Yan Ziqing. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. Why were you with my fianc¨¦e yesterday?¡± Su Beiluo even used the word fianc¨¦e. He wanted Yan Ziqing to know that Ye Wanling was close to him. ¡°What do you think a male and female will do at night alone in the dark?¡± Yan Ziqing said deliberately. Su Beiluo was even more anxious when he heard this. ¡°Tell me, why did you come back this time?¡± Everyone knew that the Yan Corporation was developing overseas. Why did Yan Ziqing return to the country? ¡°I¡¯m back to manage my company, I guess?¡± Yan Ziqing said nonchalantly. ¡°What? Your brother has taken over all the overseas business?¡± Su Beiluo knew where Yan Ziqing was hurting. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with you.¡± Yan Ziqing did not want to waste any more words with Su Beiluo. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what you do to me, but you can¡¯t touch Ye Wanling, or you¡¯ll die miserably.¡± This was the last time Su Beiluo kindly reminded him. Everyone knew that Ye Wanling was a treasure in the Ye family. ¡°But what if I wanted to?¡± Yan Ziqing looked at Su Beiluo coldly. ¡°Good luck.¡± Su Beiluo left after saying that. He did not believe that Yan Ziqing was only here to manage the company. No one had shown interest in him for so many years, so there must be something wrong with the situation. As Yan Ziqing watched Su Beiluo leave, many memories suddenly flooded his mind.. Chapter 39 - Meeting Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ever since he was young, he had never been valued by his family. He was a man of few words and always had a noisy person like Su Beiluo by his side. At first, he found it annoying, but as time passed, he got used to it. Life was quite interesting. Actually, he hated those girls at the time, but for some reason, they kept pestering him. However, they were all grown up now and had something they needed to protect in their lives. And was Ye Wanling really untouchable? He really wanted to try. Ye Wanling came out of the room with two dark circles under her eyes. Thankfully, it was the weekend and she did not have to go to the office. Otherwise, how could she face anyone? ¡°You went to dig coal yesterday?¡± Ye Mingjie burst into laughter when he saw Ye Wanling. ¡°Go away.¡± ¡°Is there something bothering you?¡± Ye Yuze quickly asked. ¡°No, just insomnia.¡± Ye Wanling shook her head listlessly. She did not expect herself to be unable to sleep all night for a man. However, this time, she was trying to figure out why this man would lie to her. Before he had a clue about what was going on, the mastermind had already surfaced. In order to find out who was controlling Chen Fei, Ye Wanling had been secretly investigating him. After so long, he still could not find the person. Today, he finally saw Chen Fei and Zhang Hui plotting something together. In terms of wealth and charisma, Zhang Hui was definitely capable of doing something like that. Moreover, it was said that Chen Fei had been led by Zhang Hui ever since he entered the company. Ye Wanling looked at the picture of the two people meeting on the phone. Everything could be explained. Soon, a third person appeared in the photo. ¡°This person is the Yan Corporation¡¯s higher-up, Xie Hongke.¡± Ye Wanling soon received a message. Yan Corporation again. Ye Wanling suddenly felt that this matter was not something she could handle alone. Now it had threatened the safety of the company. ¡°Why must we meet? Can¡¯t we just talk over the phone?¡± Xie Hongke said impatiently. He really did not know what they were thinking. If they were discovered, they would have to bear the consequences. ¡°What are you afraid of? We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. What¡¯s wrong with coming out for a meal?¡± Zhang Hui felt that it did not matter. ¡°Hello, President Xie. I am Chen Fei. I also wish to join your Yan Corporation.¡± As Chen Fei spoke, he poured Xie Hongke a cup of tea. Xie Hongke felt disgusted looking at Chen Fei, the sellout seeking glory, but he still nodded his head. After all, the two of them were still needed to deliver the news. ¡°Xie Hongke, you still haven¡¯t told me why Yan Ziqing is back?¡± They were all cunning foxes. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you last time? It was to rebuild the company, but you know that the Ye Corporation is the biggest company in the country now, so you have to understand the situation first.¡± Xie Hongke would never reveal their true purpose. ¡°Whatever the reason, it¡¯s best to destroy the Ye Corporation. I can¡¯t stand Ye Wanling anymore.¡± Chen Fei said viciously. Ye Wanling tried to find fault with him time and time again, and he tried to hurt her several times, but he never succeeded. What he didn¡¯t know was that every time, Ye Wanling was saved by the president of the Yan Corporation. ¡°Alright, but we still have to take it slow.¡± Xie Hongke did not want to be entangled with them anymore. ¡°I have something on, so I have to go. I¡¯ll treat you guys to coffee.¡± Xie Hongke stood up and left after paying the bill. ¡°Teacher, do you think this Xie Hongke is reliable?¡± Chen Fei was a little worried. ¡°What¡¯s so unreliable about that? Let me tell you, being in the Yan Corporation is much better than being in the Ye Corporation.¡± Back then, when the Yan Corporation left the country, the company did not have much prospects. That was why they decided to change jobs. However, things were different now. Yan Ziqing was back. ¡°I was just asking.¡± Chen Fei said a little aggrievedly. Every time he did something, Zhang Hui would ask him to do it. This Zhang Hui only gave him ideas behind his back, and he had to pay half of the money himself. ¡°You¡¯ll definitely have your share of benefits in the future.¡± Zhang Hui was more experienced than Chen Fei, so he naturally knew what Chen Fei was thinking. Hearing this, Chen Fei finally relaxed.. Chapter 40 - Duality of Things Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although it was the weekend, Ye Zhiyuan still had some work to do. After all, with great power comes great responsibility. At noon, Ye Wanling prepared lunch and went to the company. ¡°Lingling, you¡¯re here to deliver food to Daddy again?¡± Ye Zhiyuan asked with a smile. ¡°Yes, today is a healthy green recipe.¡± Ye Wanling came to deliver food to Ye Zhiyuan almost every weekend. She would also listen to him during his video conference. ¡°What happened to your eyes?¡± Ye Zhiyuan woke up early this morning and didn¡¯t see Ye Wanling¡¯s dark circles. ¡°I just didn¡¯t have a good rest. It¡¯s fine, Dad. Eat first.¡± Ye Wanling opened the lunch box, which was full of green vegetables. Ye Zhiyuan looked at the plain food and shook his head helplessly. It was only made by his precious daughter, so he finished it quickly. ¡°Are you full already?¡± Ye Wanling asked with a straight face. ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± Ye Zhiyuan took the tea from Ye Wanling and took a few sips. ¡°The last time I asked you about the Yan Corporation, do you have an answer?¡± Ye Wanling looked at Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s expression and waited for an answer. ¡°No.¡± No matter how many years Ye Zhiyuan had been in the workforce, he still felt guilty about lying to his daughter. ¡°Look.¡± Ye Wanling directly put the photo in front of Ye Zhiyuan. ¡°Is this Chen Fei? Then who is the other one?¡± Ye Zhiyuan did not understand the meaning of this photo. ¡°That¡¯s one of the Yan Corporation¡¯s higher-ups.¡± Ye Wanling explained. ¡°What do they want?¡± Ye Zhiyuan frowned. He had been paying attention to the shareholders, but he did not expect the Yan Corporation to have spies in the company. It seemed that Ye Wanling already knew a lot. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have come with the photo. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I just came to ask you.¡± This was why she came. ¡°Dad, actually, you know that Yan Corporation has already threatened our company, right? That¡¯s why you told me not to come into contact with people of unknown origin.¡± Ye Wanling was no longer a silly girl who only knew how to date. ¡°Mmm, Lingling, how did you find out all these?¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked at his daughter. She had really grown into a big girl. ¡°Last time, when I was intercepted by someone, and the incident with the online celebrity at the press conference, it was all Chen Fei¡¯s doing. I had a feeling that he wouldn¡¯t have done so many things by himself, so I had someone investigate it, and today, I managed to capture such a picture.¡± Ye Wanling explained everything. ¡°This Chen Fei is really tired of living.¡± How dare he hurt his daughter. This would be the end of his days. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t be anxious. What is the Yan Corporation trying to do?¡± Ye Wanling stabilized Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s emotions. ¡°After Yan Ziqing returned to country C, I discovered that the shareholders were secretly selling their shares. In the end, I found out that the shares were all taken away by the Yan Corporation. They were probably preparing to return to country C to swallow us up. Ye Zhiyuan had already thought it through. If it wasn¡¯t for the sake of returning to China to develop, the Yan Corporation wouldn¡¯t have gone through so much trouble. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we should keep Zhang Hui and Chen Fei alive.¡± Ye Wanling had already thought of a brilliant plan to make him suffer. ¡°Who knows about this?¡± ¡°Only you and me.¡± Ye Wanling didn¡¯t even tell Ye Yuze, because she felt it was not something he could accept. ¡°That¡¯s good. It¡¯s time for us to plan properly.¡± Ye Zhiyuan and Ye Wanling had the same idea. In the Yan Corporation CEO¡¯s office. ¡°CEO Yan, Xu Tianle¡¯s nightclub is going to be losing money soon. I heard that he¡¯s going to sell two other nightclubs.¡± Shen Lin reported after returning from outside. ¡°Then go ask him if he still needs investments.¡± Yan Ziqing said expressionlessly. He has been following Xu Tianle¡¯s business for two months, and it was time to collect some money. Otherwise, people would always say that they were incompetent. ¡°There¡¯s also the Ye Corporation. Another shareholder¡¯s family urgently needs money. Do we collect their shares?¡± This was not the first shareholder to run into a crisis. They all saw Yan Ziqing as a living saint who could help them at critical moments. However, they did not know that on the other side of this angel, he was a demon. ¡°Yes.¡± Yan Ziqing said softly. ¡°Recently, Ye Wanling has been going to and from work normally and there hasn¡¯t been anything unusual.¡± Shen Lin continued to report. ¡°Oh? If there are no abnormalities, then that is probably the biggest anomaly.¡± Yan Ziqing raised his eyebrows and said. Was ¡°Yan Ziqing¡± not enough for Ye Wanling to have a reaction?
