chapter 4

Ye Chen met Wang Dongxue for the first time.

There's no denying it, Wang Dongxue was truly stunning!

At twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, she possessed a slender yet curvaceous figure, breathtaking beauty, and an air of nobility and competence.

Seated before Wang Dongxue's office desk, Ye Chen spoke up, "I won't be visiting Dehao Group frequently in the future, so I'll need you to oversee matters here. Additionally, do not disclose my identity to anyone outside."

Wang Dongxue knew of the formidable strength of Ye Chen's family. For Dehao Group, which was merely a drop in the bucket to his family, it was understandable that he wouldn't want to manage it personally.

She hastily replied, "Master Ye, if there's anything you need in the future, just let me know."

At that moment, a female secretary knocked on the door and said, "Vice Chairman Wang, there's someone named Wang Yunfei here with his fiancée to see you."

Wang Dongxue immediately responded, "I'm meeting an important guest. Tell them to wait."

Ye Chen asked her, "Do you know this Wang Yunfei?"

Wang Dongxue quickly explained, "Wang Yunfei's family is one of our subsidiary partners. Most of their business depends on us. They've been saying they want to meet for some time now and have already come several times."

Ye Chen coldly stated, "Starting now, Dehao Group will cease all business dealings with the Wang family. Any ongoing or pending cooperation is to be terminated. If the Wang family manages to earn even a penny from Dehao Group, you, as the vice chairman, might as well resign!"

Wang Dongxue's expression froze upon hearing this. She didn't need to ask to know that someone from the Wang family had offended the young master.

She immediately nodded and said, "Rest assured, Young Master. I'll give the order to completely terminate all cooperation with the Wang family!"

Ye Chen nodded and instructed, "Tell them that Dehao Group refuses to cooperate with low-quality garbage like them, then have the security guards escort them out."

...

Outside, Wang Yunfei and Xiao Weiwei were eagerly waiting.

The Wang family had been eager to become a strategic partner of Dehao Group, hoping to improve their relationship with Wang Dongxue.

But to their surprise, Wang Dongxue's secretary arrived with several security guards.

Unable to contain himself, Wang Yunfei asked, "Hello, excuse me, does Vice Chairman Wang have time to see us?"

The secretary looked at him coldly and replied, "I'm sorry, Vice Chairman Wang said that Dehao Group will not cooperate with low-quality individuals like you. From now on, all cooperation with your family is canceled!"

"What did you say?!"

Wang Yunfei was momentarily stunned and incredulous. Why did these words sound so familiar? Oh right! Just now, Ye Chen had said the exact same thing at the parking lot!

What did Vice Chairman Wang mean? Did she want to end cooperation with the Wang family?

Wang Yunfei felt blood rush to his head.

What's going on?

Terminate all cooperation?

The majority of the Wang family's profits came from Dehao Group!

If cooperation ended, wouldn't the family's strength be immediately reduced by half?!

He couldn't accept this reality and shouted angrily, "I want to see Vice Chairman Wang! I want to ask Vice Chairman Wang in person!"

The secretary coldly responded, "I'm sorry, Vice Chairman Wang will not see you, and you are not allowed to set foot in Dehao Group in the future!"

Wang Yunfei cursed furiously, "Are you deliberately messing with me? We've been long-term partners with Dehao Group. How could they suddenly terminate cooperation!"

Ignoring him, the secretary instructed the security guards by her side, "Throw them out!"

The head of security immediately stepped forward, grabbed Wang Yunfei's wrist, and forcefully twisted it behind his back.

Wang Yunfei screamed in pain. The security captain coldly ordered, "Get out! If you dare to cause trouble at Dehao Group again, I'll personally deal with you!"

"You, a security captain, dare to shout at me? Do you know who I am?"

As soon as Wang Yunfei spoke, the security captain slapped him across the face and angrily berated, "What are you compared to Dehao Group?"

Wang Yunfei was slapped, his face burning with pain. Just as he was about to explode, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller turned out to be his father.

Answering the call, he heard his father's furious voice, "You little brat, what trouble have you caused outside? Dehao Group is terminating all cooperation with us now. Who did you offend out there?"

Wang Yunfei complained, "Dad, I didn't offend anyone. I just came to meet Vice Chairman Wang, but I haven't even seen her yet..."

On the other end of the line, Wang Yunfei's father exploded in anger, "Dehao Group said that the reason they're terminating cooperation with us is all because of you, a low-quality piece of trash! Now our family has suffered heavy losses because of you. Get back here immediately and explain yourself to your grandfather in person!"

Wang Yunfei was pushed out of the gates of Dehao Group by the security guards, holding his phone with a bewildered expression.

He suddenly thought of Ye Chen and couldn't help asking Xiao Weiwei, "Weiwei, could it be because of my useless brother-in-law? Could he have something to do with Dehao Group?"

"What?" Xiao Weiwei was startled by Wang Yunfei's words and thought carefully. It was indeed possible that her useless brother-in-law was involved.

But, he was just a waste!

Thinking of this, she decisively shook her head and said, "How could he have anything to do with Dehao Group? He's not even qualified to clean the toilets at Dehao Group!"

"That makes sense..." Wang Yunfei nodded. Thinking of his furious father, he said despondently, "No, I have to go home now..."

The news of Dehao Group terminating all cooperation with the Wang family immediately spread throughout Jinling.

Although they didn't know why Dehao Group had blacklisted the Wang family, everyone understood that it must be because the Wang family had offended Dehao Group.

This time, the Wang family was finished.

With their strength suddenly halved, they had dropped from nearly reaching the standards of first-tier families to the bottom of the second-tier families.

Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Xiao was trembling with anger. She wanted nothing more than to break off Xiao Weiwei's engagement with Wang Yunfei. However, considering the proverbial straws the Wang family represented, the Xiao family couldn't afford to offend them, so she had to temporarily let it go.

Meanwhile, in Wang Dongxue's office, Ye Chen learned about the recent events and greatly admired her handling of the situation. Expressing his satisfaction, he said, "Dongxue, you handled that very well. Starting today, your salary will be doubled."

Wang Dongxue was both shocked and delighted. She quickly stood up and bowed to Ye Chen, saying, "Thank you, Master Ye!"

Ye Chen nodded and continued, "Also, I want you to announce two things publicly."

"Please, Master Ye, go ahead."

"The first announcement is about the change of ownership of Dehao Group and the appointment of a new chairman. However, do not reveal the identity of the new chairman, just mention the surname 'Ye.'"

"The second announcement is about Dehao Group's investment of two billion yuan in Jinling to build a six-star hotel. Additionally, we will initiate a bidding process for partnership. All construction and decoration companies in the city are eligible to participate in the bidding!"

Xiao Group's main business was in decoration. Old Mrs. Xiao had always dreamed of getting on board with Dehao Group. Whoever could secure a partnership with Dehao Group would undoubtedly become a prominent figure in Xiao Group.

Now that Dehao Group belonged to him, of course, he had to give his wife a little benefit.
