Ye Chen was also meeting Wang Dongxue for the first time.
He had to admit, Wang Dongxue was breathtakingly beautiful!
In her late twenties, she had a slim yet curvaceous figure, a face that could topple kingdoms, and an air of noble professionalism.
Ye Chen sat down in front of Wang Dongxue's desk and said, "In the future, I won't come to Dihao Group often, so I need you to take charge here. Also, don't reveal my identity to anyone."
Wang Dongxue knew that Ye Chen came from an extraordinarily powerful family. To his clan, Dihao Group was small potatoes, so it was only natural he didn't want to manage it personally.
She quickly replied, "Young master, feel free to tell me anything you need."
Just then, a female secretary knocked and entered, saying, "Vice President Wang, a man named Wang Yunfei is here with his fiancée to meet you."
Wang Dongxue immediately said, "I'm meeting an important guest. Tell them to wait."
Ye Chen asked her, "Do you know this Wang Yunfei?"
Wang Dongxue hurried to explain, "His family is one of our partners. Their main business depends on us. They've been wanting to pay a visit and have come several times already."
Ye Chen said coldly, "From now on, Dihao Group will cease all business with the Wang family. Halt all ongoing and planned collaborations. If the Wangs make even a penny from Dihao Group, you'll lose your position as vice president."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dongxue's expression turned solemn. She didn't need to ask—someone from the Wang family must have offended the young master.
She immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master. I'll give the order now to terminate all cooperation with the Wangs!"
Ye Chen grunted and said, "Tell them Dihao Group doesn't work with low-class trash, then have security throw them out."
…
Outside, Wang Yunfei and Xiao Weiwei waited excitedly.
The Wang family had long wanted to become a strategic partner of Dihao Group, so they were eager to build a relationship with Wang Dongxue.
But to their surprise, Wang Dongxue's secretary arrived with several security guards.
Wang Yunfei couldn't help asking, "Hello, is Vice President Wang available to see us?"
The secretary looked at him coldly. "Sorry, Vice President Wang said Dihao Group won't cooperate with low-class trash like you. All partnerships with your family are canceled effective immediately!"
"W-what did you say?!"
Wang Yunfei was stunned for a moment, his mind reeling. That sentence sounded familiar!
Oh right! In the parking lot earlier, Ye Chen had said the exact same thing!
What did Vice President Wang mean? Was she really terminating cooperation with the Wangs?
Wang Yunfei felt a rush of blood to his head.
What was happening?
Terminate all cooperation?
Most of the Wang family's profits came from Dihao Group! If the partnership ended, their family's strength would be slashed in half!
He couldn't accept this reality and shouted, "I need to see Vice President Wang! I want to ask her face-to-face!"
The secretary said icily, "Sorry, she won't see you. And you're banned from entering Dihao Group ever again!"
Wang Yunfei cursed angrily, "Are you fucking playing with me? We're long-term partners of Dihao Group! How can you terminate the 合作 (cooperation) just like that?"
Ignoring him, the secretary told the guards, "Throw them out!"
The security captain rushed forward, grabbed Wang Yunfei's wrist, and twisted it behind his back.
Wang Yunfei howled in pain as Captain Chen snapped, "Get out now! Cause trouble here, and I'll cripple you!"
"You're just a security captain! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?"
Before Wang Yunfei finished, Captain Chen slapped him across the face and yelled, "In front of Dihao Group, who the hell do you think you are?"
Stung by the slap, Wang Yunfei was about to explode when his phone rang. It was his father.
He answered, and a furious roar came through: "You little bastard! What trouble did you cause outside? Now Dihao Group is terminating all cooperation with us! Who did you offend?"
Wang Yunfei 委屈地 (wronged) said, "Dad, I didn't offend anyone! I just came to visit Vice President Wang, but I haven't even seen her yet…"
On the other end, his father raged, "Dihao Group said they're cutting ties because you're a low-class piece of trash! The family is suffering huge losses because of you. Get home now and explain to your grandfather yourself!"
Wang Yunfei was shoved out of Dihao Group by the guards, holding his phone in a daze.
He suddenly thought of Ye Chen and asked Xiao Weiwei, "Weiwei, could it be your good-for-nothing brother-in-law? Does he have any connection to Dihao Group?"
"Ah?" Xiao Weiwei was startled. Come to think of it, it might indeed be related to her good-for-nothing brother-in-law.
But he was just a useless piece of trash!
Shaking her head firmly, she said, "That idiot couldn't possibly be connected to Dihao Group. He isn't even qualified to clean their toilets!"
"True…" Wang Yunfei nodded. Thinking of his enraged father, he sighed, "I need to go home right away…"
News that Dihao Group had terminated all cooperation with the Wang family spread through Jinling like wildfire. Although no one knew why Dihao had blacklisted the Wangs, everyone knew the Wangs must have offended them.
This meant the Wang family was finished.
Their strength plummeted. They had been on the cusp of becoming a first-tier family, but now they dropped to the bottom of the second tier.
When Grandma Xiao heard the news, she shook with anger. She wanted to cancel Xiao Weiwei's engagement to Wang Yunfei, but knowing the Wangs, though weakened, were still more powerful than the Xiaos, she had to hold back.
…
In Wang Dongxue's office, Ye Chen learned the whole story and appreciated her efficiency.
Satisfied, he said, "Dongxue, you handled that well. From today, your salary doubles."
Wang Dongxue was overjoyed. She stood and bowed to Ye Chen. "Thank you, young master!"
Ye Chen nodded. "Also, I need you to announce two things publicly."
"Go ahead, young master."
"First, announce that Dihao Group has a new owner and chairman, but don't reveal the chairman's identity—just that the surname is Ye."
"Second, announce that Dihao Group will invest 2 billion RMB in Jinling to build a six-star hotel. Simultaneously, launch a tender for partners—all construction and decoration companies in the city can bid."
The Xiao family's main business was decoration, and Grandma Xiao had always dreamed of allying with Dihao Group. Whoever won this cooperation would become a star in the Xiao family.
Now that Dihao Group was his, he might as well give his wife a little benefit.
