“I do have a few properties, and the company headquarters is already being scouted for a location,” Ye Tian replied.
Xu Zihui chuckled, “Is that so? May I ask which company it is, and if it’s publicly listed?”
Zhou Yan said, “Baozhi Company. Young Master Xu should know of it.”
Xu Zihui’s expression froze. Of course, he knew Baozhi Company, and he also knew its boss seemed to be surnamed Ye!
“Are you… Boss Ye?” His voice trembled.
If one were to talk about the most profitable companies in China today, Baozhi Company would certainly be among them. If one were to talk about the companies with the highest profit margins in China currently, Baozhi Company would also rank among the top.
Ye Tian stated, “I’ve already introduced myself.”
Cold sweat beaded on Xu Zihui’s forehead. He immediately became polite, “My apologies, I didn’t realize you were Boss Ye.”
Zhou Yan said, “Young Master Xu, if there’s nothing else, we’ll go talk over there.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Xu Zihui nodded hastily. He had heard from many friends in the business world about a powerful entity that tried to encroach upon Baozhi Company and ended up losing miserably. This indirectly proved Ye Tian’s formidable background. Such a person was not someone a mere second-generation rich kid like himself dared to provoke!
At this moment, a middle-aged couple not far away waved at Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan whispered, “My parents are here. Help me out, please.”
Ye Tian felt a sense of helplessness and followed her over.
This couple was Zhou Yan’s parents. Ye Tian vaguely remembered their appearance. He smiled slightly and said, “Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou.”
Hearing himself addressed this way, the middle-aged man was slightly taken aback. Then, as if realizing something, he pointed at Ye Tian, his finger trembling, “You… you’re Ye Tian?”
He had a very deep impression of Ye Tian. When his daughter was in junior high, she was excellent in both character and academics, but unexpectedly, she became entangled with this uneducated scoundrel. For his daughter’s future, he had resolutely transferred Zhou Yan to another school. He never expected that after so many years, this boy would reappear!
Ye Tian smiled, “Uncle Zhou, it’s me, I am Ye Tian.”
The middle-aged woman’s face turned pale. She angrily exclaimed, “Ye Tian? Aren’t you Yan’er’s junior high classmate? You scoundrel, how did you end up in Zhonghai? When did you get together with Yan’er?”
Just as Zhou Yan was about to explain, a young man in his late twenties, impeccably dressed in a suit, walked over. He smiled slightly, “Uncle, Auntie.”
Zhou Yan’s father, named Zhou Xuechang, saw the young man and quickly said with a smile, “Mingjian, you’re here? Come, come, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Zhou Yan. Yan’er, this is Young Master Liu, the son of Uncle Liu. Mingjian is a master’s degree holder from abroad, a true scholar. He has now inherited the family business and manages a large company worth billions.”
Zhou Yan hadn’t expected her father to bring someone over. She quickly said, “Dad, Ye Tian and I are quite suitable for each other.”
Zhou Xuechang’s face darkened, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can this boy be worthy of you?”
Zhou Yan replied, “Dad, after three days, one should look at people with new eyes. Ye Tian is very outstanding now, and we are very suitable.”
Zhou Xuechang, with his preconceived notions, snorted coldly, “Very outstanding? Then tell me, how is he outstanding? If you can’t give me a clear explanation, tell him to leave immediately!”
Ye Tian, now a celestial being and the boss of a major company, felt a bit displeased by Zhou Xuechang’s words. However, for Zhou Yan’s sake, he remained silent.
Upon seeing Zhou Yan, Liu Mingjian was greatly impressed by her beauty. Unfortunately, she was with someone else. He sized up Ye Tian and smiled at Zhou Yan, “Sister Zhou Yan, I, Liu Mingjian, consider myself no inferior in terms of background or education. I have strong feelings for you, Sister Zhou Yan. Could you give me a chance to chat over there?”
Liu Mingjian believed that with his personal charm and extraordinary family background, he could win over Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I have a boyfriend.”
Zhou Xuechang almost fainted from anger, “Yan’er! Are you trying to kill me?”
Zhou Yan smiled, “Dad, you always taught me to be composed. Why are you so agitated now? I told you, Ye Tian is very outstanding, he…”
Before she could finish, Han Lingyan walked over. She linked her arm with Ye Tian’s and said with a smile, “Young Master Ye, are these your friends?”
Ye Tian felt a moment of awkwardness. Why had she suddenly appeared?
