Zhao Feipeng and his wife, along with Jian Tao, visited, and Ye Fan and ngyao were very pleased. This indicated that their suspicion of Ye Fan had been dispelled, which was the result Ye Fan and ngyao were happy to see.
Even if the Zhao Family still believed Ye Fan was related to Zhao Hai’s death, Ye Fan and ngyao would find ways to resolve the misunderstanding.
Now that the Zhao Family had finally figured it out, it couldn’t be better. Otherwise, if they provided evidence and were thought to have forged it, then they would really have no way to clear their nas even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
In theory, Ye Fan receiving the heart was a benevolent act, and there was no need to care who the heart’s owner was, nor was there a need to give thanks.
However, to live without guilt, so things still needed to be done.
Besides, the heart brought so chaotic mories of Zhao Hai, so Ye Fan naturally had to treat it with caution, to avoid any more unexpected situations.
"Mr. Ye, President Chu, my apologies for the intrusion. Please don’t be offended," Zhao Feipeng said with a smile. "I was worried I wouldn’t be able to et you both. I didn’t expect to actually see you. Everyone in the Northwest knows that you don’t like being disturbed. There are countless people who want to make connections with you, holding gifts but not daring to send them, and having no way to send them in either."
What Zhao Feipeng said was not just a polite remark; it was true. After repeatedly refusing a large number of visitors, Ye Fan and ngyao no longer received visitors, except for their friends. Even businesspeople dared not disturb them.
Previously, Zhao Feipeng had indeed personally visited Ye Fan and ngyao, but naturally, he did not see them, nor could he deliver the gifts.
After the Chu Group annexed the five major families of the Northwest, establishing their position in the business world, nurous business magnates set their sights on Ye Fan and ngyao, hoping to establish cooperative relationships with the Chu Group and share in the profits, but they all failed.
Even trying to use connections, they couldn’t get through.
What Zhao Feipeng said to Minister Wu was naturally evasive; he didn’t find out which influential person above Minister Wu had intervened, but he knew it had sothing to do with Ye Fan.
After figuring out that Ye Fan was helping the Zhao Family, Zhao Feipeng didn’t disclose this to Minister Wu either.
Even if he told him, and Minister Wu hit a wall, it would eventually co out that Ye Fan and ngyao knew it was he who leaked the information, making them unhappy. He certainly wouldn’t foolishly do such a thankless job.
The five major families of the Northwest were the biggest business families, and the Zhao Family wasn’t among them for a reason. It wasn’t due to a lack of financial resources, but because the Zhao Family couldn’t integrate into the unified five families.
"What Patriarch Zhao says is exaggerated," ngyao said politely.
"In the future, if you have ti, feel free to visit often. Of course, if you’re trying to use connections, then don’t bring gifts. Seeing that we have so ties, we won’t refuse to help where we can," Ye Fan said casually.
"President Chu, Mr. Ye, you humble . Before President Chu, I’m not deserving of being called Patriarch Zhao; you are the true magnate of the business world. Compared to you, the Zhao Family is far behind," Zhao Feipeng said solemnly to ngyao, then looking increasingly serious as he turned to Ye Fan. "Mr. Ye, I dare not accept your esteed words. With your status and position, I cannot be overbearing."
ngyao and Ye Fan were very polite, which surprised Zhao Feipeng and made him feel flattered.
Especially what Ye Fan said, it was significant. Talking about so fate and visiting often were words he most wanted to hear and sincerely desired. Yet, Ye Fan’s words were also straightforward, clearly stating about using connections and giving gifts.
As for so fate, Zhao Feipeng really couldn’t pinpoint what it specifically referred to, but what Ye Fan truthfully said about not refusing help, Zhao Feipeng didn’t take it seriously, thinking that Mr. Ye was just being polite.
Jian Tao and Zhao’s wife were very quiet, as won, they relinquished all speaking rights to Zhao Feipeng, and they were too embarrassed to speak up. Especially Zhao’s wife, it was her first eting, so she let Zhao Feipeng handle it.
Still, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law occasionally showed pensive expressions regarding the conversation between Zhao Feipeng and Ye Fan, ngyao.
Especially Jian Tao, who felt rather disgusted, thinking that Zhao Feipeng was using platitudes, while Ye Fan and ngyao were straightforward and genuine, without much pretense, quite natural.
"You are the elder and the rightful patriarch of the Zhao Family. There’s nothing unworthy of it," ngyao said helplessly, clearly seeing that Zhao Feipeng’s words were probing, completely filled with a diplomatic tone.
"Since President Chu says so, I shouldn’t say more," Zhao Feipeng said humbly. "To be called Patriarch Zhao by President Chu is worth its weight in gold, sothing that others cannot ask for."
Don’t underestimate the weight of being called Patriarch Zhao; it was President Chu’s acknowledgnt of Zhao Feipeng’s status in the business world, which naturally made him happy.
After Zhao Feipeng thought he had perfectly responded to ngyao’s words, he looked at Ye Fan, thinking: Why aren’t you saying anything? You are the esteed Mr. Ye; in your presence, I really can’t accept the esteed words, but I courteously declined them, and you should say sothing in return. After this, you should definitely say sothing too, but you’re not saying anything, so how can I guess?
Zhao Feipeng saw that Ye Fan wasn’t interested in dealing with him, not realizing that Ye Fan had no interest in playing evasive gas with him.
"Actually, in the past, I have visited both of you, but because both of you were too busy, I couldn’t et with you. Today, by fate, I have the opportunity to sit with both of you. Honestly, I am truly very happy," Zhao Feipeng proactively topic, which was also a form of probing. He wanted to see Ye Fan and ngyao’s attitude to decide what to say next and what not to say.
Out of courtesy, ngyao intended to genuinely chat with Zhao Feipeng, but Zhao Feipeng spoke with an official tone here and a formal speech there, with his own special purpose, making responding very tiring. So, she decided to let Ye Fan handle the unpleasant conversation.
She didn’t want to target Zhao Feipeng herself. She believed that Ye Fan, in just a few words, could block Zhao Feipeng’s mouth.
ngyao gave Ye Fan a aningful look and then left it to him.
Ye Fan understood ngyao’s intention, so he naturally had to say a few words, and there was no need to be too polite to Zhao Feipeng.
Zhao’s wife didn’t feel comfortable with what her husband was saying either. Speaking with pretense felt too unfamiliar, but she couldn’t say anything.
Jian Tao also didn’t dare to bla Zhao Feipeng and could only sit quietly and listen.
