"Hello..."
The phone call connected, and although it wasn’t clear what was said on the other end, it was obvious that Ye Jinyan’s expression grew increasingly grim, almost evolving into uncontrollable anger.
Jiang Kelan fell silent. Ye Jinyan had been soone who rarely showed his emotions since he was young.
It was almost unheard of to see him get angry.
Ye Jinyan was a reserved man, never revealing what lay beneath his calm exterior.
He always seed gentle and mature, yet no one ever knew what he was truly thinking.
Even though she couldn’t hear or guess the contents, sothing must have gone terribly wrong for him to lose his composure like that.
"Enough!" Ye Jinyan snapped, "Don’t do anything right now, and definitely don’t lose your nerve. Wait for to co back and handle it!"
While he was speaking, he had already opened the door and was striding downstairs.
"Jinyan..."
"Jinyan..."
Mrs. Jiang called out to him several tis, but he didn’t respond. Soon enough, she watched as Ye Jinyan sped away in his car from the Jiang household.
"This child... why is he so impulsive?"
Dad Jiang said, "He probably ran into a tricky situation and is rushing back to deal with it.
You think the Ye Family in B City is as idle as our house?"
"Ah..." Mrs. Jiang sighed.
The son they’ve raised for years seems to belong to another family, and the company managed by her husband is declining day by day.
...
On the top floor of the Ji Group, Ji Hanyu was still buried in paperwork.
Lin Zhan had initially entered gleefully, wanting to share so achievents, but rembering the price they paid, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.
The losses were severe, so what was there to brag about?
Ji Hanyu looked up at him, "Don’t tell you failed? That’s impossible."
Lin Zhan: "..."
The Boss’s confidence is truly unparalleled.
However, the Boss has the skills and the credentials to be confident.
"Of course not, Ye Jinyan should already be on a plane back by now."
As expected, Ji Hanyu was not surprised.
Ji Hanyu eyed Lin Zhan, "Is that bereaved look another way of showing success?"
Lin Zhan: "..."
"I just think the losses were too heavy. Boss, your approach of injuring the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred yourself is making ache all over."
Ji Hanyu: "..."
"Boss, I honestly think it wasn’t necessary. Originally, it was a situation where everyone could have left each other alone, or even had a win-win outco. Now, it’s a loss for everyone."
Lin Zhan still wore a pained expression.
Ji Hanyu was disdainful, "What’s ’loss’? Has the word ’loss’ ever appeared in my dictionary, the dictionary of Ji Hanyu?
What I didn’t get, Ye Jinyan didn’t get either."
Moreover, Ye Jinyan needs it more than I do.
Ji Hanyu continued, "I’ve sold my favor to the Xi Family; naturally, they will give what I want. It’s just a matter of ti. I will definitely profit without a loss."
Besides, what if there is a loss?
Are those things, that money, more important than Bai Haoxue?
The answer is, there’s no comparison at all.
The Xi Family...
So that’s how it is.
As Ji Hanyu’s special assistant, Lin Zhan naturally had his own insights.
He quickly understood and couldn’t help but admire Ji Hanyu even more.
Masterminding the strategy, ensuring victory from afar.
Even after feeling the pain, Lin Zhan’s curiosity flared up again, "But Boss, by making this move, you’ve turned Ye Jinyan’s year-long effort into nothing. This is an open declaration of war! Is this purely a business battle, or just a romantic one?"
Ji Hanyu: "Do you still want your year-end bonus?"
Lin Zhan: "..."
