979: Chapter 972: Why Didn’t You Say It Earlier?
Time slowed, the scene froze.
In the silent and motionless hall of the Chen ancestral home, everyone’s gaze converged on Ye Chenfeng.
They tried to discern any clue from him; at this moment, they had finally realized that Ye Chenfeng’s identity was not simple—Ye Chenfeng might truly be Chen Siyu’s man.
Chen Jianjun and Chen Siyu also stared at Ye Chenfeng with puzzled looks.
They were already accustomed to the attitudes of Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun, but what they did not expect was that Tengtian Pharmaceutical’s Li Yuan and Innovative Technology’s Wang Haojie would also respectfully address Ye Chenfeng as their boss.
One should know that outsiders were almost completely unaware that Tengtian Pharmaceutical and Innovative Technology, these two enterprises, were actually controlled by Ye Chenfeng.
Now, Li Pangzi and Monkey had become titans of the Huaxia business world.
Wherever they went, local officials would surely treat them with great courtesy.
After all, with both enterprises still rapidly developing, officials naturally wanted investment for their cities, hence, today’s Li Pangzi and Monkey counted as truly successful individuals.
“Monkey, Li Pangzi, are you two here in Nangang to expand your industries?” Ye Chenfeng’s gaze first fell on Monkey and Li Pangzi; he had not expected to encounter these two in the Chen ancestral home.
Monkey and Li Pangzi nodded hurriedly and said, “Boss, you’re right; we’re planning to invest a sum in Nangang.”
After getting their response, Ye Chenfeng turned his gaze to Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun.
Seeing these two middle-aged men standing respectfully before him, he actually felt rather fond of them, and he said politely, “Uncle Cheng, Uncle Xu, I’ve come to Nangang to take Siyu to Capital City.
Siyu is my woman.”
Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun were excited to the point of blushing when Ye Chenfeng called them “uncle.” Cheng Wansong, the top official of Nangang, said, “Mr.
Ye, that won’t do!
Just call me by my name.”
The second official of Nangang, Xu Dongchun, also hastily spoke up, “Mr.
Ye, what Old Cheng said is right!
We frankly don’t deserve such an honorific from you!
Today, Old Cheng and I simply wanted to invite Mr.
Ye for a meal; might you be available?”
Ye Chenfeng was planning to stay the night in Nangang anyway, and said offhandedly, “Sure, then I’ll join you two uncles for dinner tonight.
However, there’s a matter here that needs your help.”
Pointing to the corpses of Fent and his men, Ye Chenfeng said, “The people who died here are the son of the Weino Group chairman and his two bodyguards.
They tried to threaten my life, but I was a bit stronger than them.
This counts as self-defense, right?
I wonder if you two uncles could help me resolve this?
If not, I can ask my grandfather to handle it.”
The deceased being the son of the Weino Group chairman made the matter somewhat tricky, but hearing the divine Ye Chenfeng addressing them as uncles, Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun immediately agreed to help.
After all, the Weino Group was, in the end, a corporation from Country M, and accidents during Fent’s business trip to Nangang were not entirely unexpected.
Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun had already formulated a plan to deal with the issue.
The top official of Nangang, Cheng Wansong, said, “Mr.
Ye, I’ve already booked the hotel for dinner.
We’ll go arrange for the relevant departments to handle this matter now.”
Ye Chenfeng nodded and smiled, “Then I must thank you two uncles.”
Watching the backs of the top two Nangang officials, Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun, as they left the hall, the Chens and the Sus were engulfed by a tumultuous wave of emotions.
Had Ye Chenfeng just resolved the matter of Fent with just a few words?
And weren’t Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun a bit too reverent towards Ye Chenfeng?
It seemed as if they were treating Ye Chenfeng as an elder of their own.
After Cheng Wansong and Xu Dongchun had departed, Li Pangzi and Monkey also noted that their boss had conflicts with the Chens and the Sus.
Addressing Chen Weizhong and Su Nanhong, the two elders, they said, “It looks like this time we’ll have to choose to partner with other enterprises in Nangang.”
Chen Weizhong and Su Nanhong were briefly stunned, then Su Nanhong bravely ventured, “Could you two possibly reconsider one more time?”
Li Pangzi shook his head and said, “I’m afraid there’s no need for reconsideration.
After all, I am nothing but an employee; the real owner of Tengtian Pharmaceutical is my boss Ye Chenfeng.” Li Pangzi’s gaze then shifted toward Ye Chenfeng.
The Monkey soon added, “Li Pangzi is not wrong, I’m just a worker myself.
The real boss of Innovative Technology Internet Company is also my leader, Ye Chenfeng.”
At this revelation, the people from both the Chens and the Sus were flabbergasted again.
Although they could see that Ye Chenfeng had a good relationship with Li Pangzi and the Monkey, in their view, business was like a battlefield.
As long as there were sufficient benefits, Li Pangzi and the Monkey would still collaborate with them.
What they hadn’t anticipated was that this beggar they saw before them was actually the shadowy boss behind Tengtian Pharmaceutical and Innovative Technology!
This revelation was like a slap in the face for them.
Ye Chenfeng ignored the people from the Chens and the Sus.
He turned to Chen Siyu and said, “Siyu, you should finally be ready to go back to Capital City with me this time, right?”
Chen Siyu shyly nodded her head.
When she looked at the Chens and the Sus, her face showed a hint of hesitation.
Ye Chenfeng patted Li Pangzi and the Monkey on their shoulders and said, “Let’s three go outside and have a chat.”
No matter what, Chen Siyu and Chen Jianjun were part of the Chens.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t want to get involved in their family affairs anymore.
After following Ye Chenfeng out of the hall, Li Pangzi said, “Boss, it looks like we’re getting a new sister-in-law!
Are we going to choose to cooperate with the Chens and the Sus this time in Nangang?”
Ye Chenfeng felt a strong aversion towards the people of the Chens and the Sus.
He didn’t move against either family, which was already benevolent of him.
He said offhandedly, “You two don’t need to worry about that.
Whoever can offer the greatest benefits, you collaborate with them.
Of course, if the Chens and the Sus offer the highest price, you can work with them too.”
…
As Ye Chenfeng, the Monkey, and Li Pangzi left the hall.
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall of the Chens was somewhat eerie.
The Chens and the Sus stared at Chen Jianjun and Chen Siyu.
The anger on their faces had vanished, and they didn’t dare to be angry anymore.
With just the attitudes of the top two officials of Nangang towards Ye Chenfeng, as well as the fact that Ye Chenfeng was the boss of Tengtian Pharmaceutical and Innovative Technology, they knew they couldn’t afford to offend him.
“Cough, cough!”
Chen Jianjun’s wife, Su Meiru, coughed awkwardly to break the silence and asked, “Jianjun, Who exactly is that young man?
Is he really Siyu’s boyfriend?”
Chen Jianjun was very disappointed in Su Meiru and questioned, “Meiru, what now?
You’re not divorcing me?
Weren’t you going to handle the divorce procedures with me tomorrow?”
As Su Meiru’s face turned red, Chen Jianjun continued, “The young man just now is called Ye Chenfeng.
He is the legitimate grandson of the Ye family from Capital City, and about the recent events in Nangang…” Chen Jianjun briefly recounted Ye Chenfeng’s story.
Listening to the fact that Ye Chenfeng was the legitimate grandson of the Yes from Capital City, each member of the Sus and the Chens felt a pang of deep regret.
Chen Jianfei said, “Big brother, why didn’t you tell us earlier?”
Chen Jianjun looked at Chen Jianfei and replied, “What?
Didn’t you just disown me as your brother?
Did you give me a chance to speak?
All you cared about was your own interests.
Did you ever care about Siyu’s happiness?
If you had cared, I think Chenfeng would certainly have lent you a hand, and both your families might have had the chance to rise to prominence in Nangang overnight.
Unfortunately, you missed that chance.”
“Siyu, let’s go!
Chenfeng is still waiting,” Chen Jianjun said.
He was not originally a heartless person, but the actions of the Chens and the Sus had completely broken his heart.
The Chens and the Sus watched as Chen Jianjun and Chen Siyu’s figures disappeared.
They didn’t dare to speak out or stop them.
Remembering their disdainful attitudes toward Chen Jianjun, Chen Siyu, and Ye Chenfeng earlier, and their cold-heartedness, they now understood the true meaning of regret.
The fact that Ye Chenfeng, such an influential figure, did not move against their families for the past events was probably out of courtesy towards Chen Jianjun and Chen Siyu.
