Chapter 54

Fei Yufei clearly didn’t want others to know about the president of Chunyi coming in person, so he forced a straight face, suppressed his emotions, and said, “Go ahead and continue the meeting! I’ll go out for a moment.”

Without waiting for Yan Ye’s consent, Fei Yufei quickly opened the door and left.

The other shareholders present: “…”

Meanwhile, sitting in the office, Zhen Guoan accepted the tea that Jiang, the manager, carefully brought over. Zhen Guo’an propped up his legs and spoke nonchalantly, “No rush, my boss will be here soon. If you have any delicious food and drinks here, feel free to bring them over. By the way, that green plant at the entrance is nice! What species is it?”

Manager Jiang nodded and smiled, “You’re joking, sir. How much is that thing worth? If you like it, just say the word, and I’ll have someone send it to your home.”

Zhen Guoan looked at Manager Jiang’s smiling face, reached out, and patted his cheek, saying, “Hey, you’re not bad at all! I like it, hahaha…”

While laughing, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and Fei Yufei walked in with big strides. Seeing Zhen Guoan, he immediately greeted him with enthusiasm, “Hello, hello, I’m Fei Yufei, Vice President of Yuyao. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Hearing this, Zhen Guoan seriously looked Fee Yufei up and down, then said, “So, you’re Fee Yufei? I must have a good look at you.”

Fei Yufei turned his head to look…

Chunyi Corporation is a legend; it managed to secure a place among the top 10 international investment companies within just over a decade of its establishment, a testament to the capabilities of its boss.

Today, this enigmatic man is coming, and even Fei Yufei is curious about what kind of person he is, leading Chunyi into such a legendary era.

The man standing outside the door seemed somewhat familiar, even his suit looked familiar.

The man’s cold phoenix-like eyes swept over the room, without showing the courtesy expected of a guest.

Fei Yufei scrutinized him again before realizing who he was. He exclaimed, “Yan Wei? What are you doing here? Why did you come?”

Fei Yufei could tell even with his toes that Yan Wei was here to seek justice for his wife.

His actions against Zhou Qiaoqiao were not just due to being from a different faction within the Yan family; it was also more about revenge against Yan Wei. Of course, on the surface, it seemed like Shi Suoya came to him to report the incident, but why would he go against the Yan family just for Shi Suoya?

His real reason for going against the Yan family was to retaliate against Yan Wei. During Yan Wei’s tenure, he had faced many difficulties caused by him.

But Yan Wei was here today? And he’s going to meet with Chunyi’s president! Why today? It’s really bad luck.

Thinking about this, Fei Yufei quickly said to Zhen Guoan, “This is our president’s elder brother. I’ll ask him to leave right away.”

“Elder brother?” Zhen Guoan raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

Fei Yufei didn’t know what happened, but he felt a sudden tremor in his heart. He felt that Zhen Guoan’s question was peculiar.

It was only when he heard Zhen Guoan call out to Yan Wei, “Boss, why did you just come? You’re 15 minutes late,” that he realized something was off.

Yan Wei lifted an eyebrow and looked at him, saying coldly, “Shut your mouth.”

Zhen Guoan just smiled and kept quiet. Fei Yufei felt like his blood froze, and he turned his head to look at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei was also looking at him, and then he calmly sat down next to Zhen Guoan, asking in a cool tone, “It seems that Mr. Fei knows why I’m here.”

Fei Yufei clicked his tongue and sat down, not daring to move.

Yan Wei chuckled and said, “My wife has been taken care of by you.”

Fei Yufei: “…”

---

Yan Ye felt uneasy in his heart; he had a feeling that Fei Yufei was hiding something from him.

This year was a turning point for the company, and the expansion of its business had stretched its financial chain to its limits, urgently needing capital injection from elsewhere.

Yan Ye didn’t want to be forever compared to his elder brother, always seen as achieving less than him. After taking over the company, the smooth progress boosted his confidence even more.

When he found out that the early success was due to his elder brother’s guarantees, he began to doubt himself.

However, looking at the Yuyao industry, he couldn’t believe that he had no contribution to it. When he took over Yuyao, it was not yet flourishing; he was the one who led it to where it is today.

The industry’s expansion was a trend, but the financial chain became the most headache-inducing problem.

Especially this year, the government’s control over the entertainment industry became stricter than ever. Two movies and six TV dramas that were invested in last year were all shelved.

Billions of funds went down the drain, and only Shi Suoya’s two TV dramas earned some money for the company.

Yan Ye looked at the year-end summary in front of him, wondering if his elder brother faced the same issues when he sat in this position.

“President Yan.” Yan Wei’s secretary, Gu Baoshan, called him from the door.

Yan Ye nodded to everyone in the room, letting them continue their discussion while he walked slowly to the door, closed the office door, and Gu Baoshan became excited and anxious, saying, “I inquired about it, and it’s said that the CEO of Chunyi is here in person.”

Yan Ye was taken aback and asked, “Who did you say it was just now?”

“The CEO of Chunyi,” Gu Baoshan whispered in Yan Ye’s ear, making sure no one else was around.

Yan Ye suppressed the surging emotions inside him and asked, “The regional CEO of China?”

“I heard it’s someone from China,” Gu Baoshan frowned and said, “but…”

Trembling, Yan Ye asked, “But what?” Even if it’s the regional CEO of China, Chunyi’s investment would be the ladder that brings Yuyao to greater heights.

Gu Baoshan glanced at Yan Ye and lowered his voice even more, “I heard that the former President Yan is also here.”

Yan Ye didn’t immediately realize who Gu Baoshan was referring to, and it took him a while to understand. He was taken aback and asked in disbelief, “Elder brother?”

“Yes, it seems like Big Brother is also inside that office,” Gu Baoshan’s voice was filled with concern.

Yan Ye became flustered and said, “Big Brother must be here because of my sister-in-law. Quick, let’s hurry over.”

Gu Baoshan hesitated for a moment but followed Yan Ye as they rushed towards the guest lounge.

Meanwhile, sitting on the couch, Fei Yufei had never felt as uncomfortable as he did today. His legs were trembling, and he felt as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.

The cup of tea in front of him seemed to be mocking him, and after several steepings, the gradually unfolding tea leaves in the clear and fragrant tea made Fei Yufei break into a cold sweat.

“Mr. Fei, don’t worry too much. I came here to have a good talk with you,” Yan Wei’s voice was cold, just like years ago.

Fei Yufei still remembered that year when Yan Wei had just graduated from an American university at the young age of 21. When Fei Yufei and the acting president, Mao Jinghua, stood downstairs at the company, Yan Wei rushed from the airport to the office. From the moment he got out of the taxi, Fei Yufei knew that this young man was extraordinary.

Even though he was only 21, just stepping out of campus, and for people of Fei Yufei’s age, there was no difference between this young man and a newborn baby.

But Yan Wei was different indeed.

He came out of the car with meticulously groomed short hair, neatly dressed in a suit, with a sophisticated demeanor that resembled experienced old foxes like them.

Yan Wei walked all the way from the entrance and nodded politely to the shareholders present. From that moment, he embarked on his legendary story in Yuyao.

People who once enjoyed their dominance in front of Yan Yifei were like toothless old men in front of Yan Wei. Their attempts to set traps and schemes against Yan Wei were nothing more than children’s jokes… how laughable.

Of course, designing traps against their own president would naturally come with consequences.

The most disastrous time Fei Yufei was deceived by Yan Wei was when he was forced to sell 4% of his shares at an extremely low price. Fei Yufei instantly went from being the second-largest shareholder with 23% to the fourth-largest. Over the years Yan Ye was in power, Fei Yufei, the cunning little guy, manipulated everything and finally managed to regain his shares and become the solid second-largest shareholder with 27% in Yuyao.

The days of working with Yan Wei were not only a nightmare for Fei Yufei but also for many others in Yuyao.

However, it had to be admitted that Yan Wei indeed brought significant reforms to Yuyao. He played a crucial role in elevating Yuyao from a third-rate small company to a top-tier company.

And that was it…

Fei Yufei always believed that was the end of it.

Fei Yufei looked up at Yan Wei, observing the cup of green tea in his hand and his leisurely attitude as if he owned the Yuyao company like his own backyard.

Fei Yufei slowly, almost humbly, put on a smile that could be described as pleasing, and said, “I’ve always admired Mr. Yan’s broad-mindedness.”

Zhen Guoan looked at Fei Yufei with surprise and couldn’t help but admit that he was quite flexible, just like an old fox. Unlike him, he was still a fledgling.

“Not at all,” Yan Wei replied indifferently. He leaned forward and placed the tea cup on the table, then looked at Fei Yufei with a slight smile, asking, “I wonder what offense my wife committed to require your personal intervention?”

Fei Yufei laughed heartily, saying, “Mr. Yan has misunderstood. It’s all a misunderstanding. We have all witnessed my wife’s efforts in our company.”

Yan Wei smiled like the gentle spring breeze, but the smile lacked warmth. He said, “If that’s the case, then your actions and intentions seem quite different.”

Fei Yufei: “…”

Manager Jiang, who was standing beside Fei Yufei, had already sorted things out by now and felt a chill running through his entire body. He initially thought she was just Yan Wei’s wife, but now, even though she was still Yan Wei’s wife, there was something entirely different about her.

Manager Jiang wanted to salvage the situation and tried to appear sycophantic, wearing a smile as if he was dealing with a god, saying, “Mr. Yan, we misunderstood Young Madam earlier. We investigated and found that an accountant named Wang Mei caused all the trouble…”

However, Yan Wei’s gaze was always intimidating, so he used his eyes to stop Manager Jiang from continuing.

Manager Jiang was clever enough to understand, and even though Yan Wei’s gaze showed no emotion, it was enough for him to comprehend. His voice became smaller and smaller under that stare…

Then, he heard Yan Wei’s voice, icy and indifferent, treating him like he would treat an ant, saying, “I didn’t ask you to speak.”

Fei Yufei laughed heartily and said, “That’s right! I was talking to Mr. Yan! What are you? Get out of here!”

“No need,” unexpectedly, Yan Wei stopped him at that moment. Yan Wei said, “Let him stay…” Yan Wei tapped the armrest with his index finger, just like what Manager Jiang did that time.

Yan Wei said, “Not only should he stay, but I also want to see this so-called Shi Suoya.”

Fei Yufei was shocked; was Yan Wei going to investigate this thoroughly?

Yan Wei smiled and said, “I want to see what kind of powerful cricket dares to jump around in front of my wife.”

Zhen Guoan was amazed; indeed, quite powerful.

In fact, Yan Wei was a very low-key person. When he returned to the country, Chunyi Company had just gone public in the US. He managed both companies alone, which led to insomnia and more work hours than an average person. After being forced out of Yuyao, he didn’t say a word. He returned to the US and pushed Chunyi to its peak.

During the two years he returned to the country, he had quietly recuperated. Apart from the CEOs of the two major technology companies and a large real estate company who had met him, few people knew that Yan Wei had come back to China or that he was the CEO of Chunyi.

Such a low-key person sitting here today was an astonishing display of power. After all, Yan Wei might consider some people weak, but he always expressed it through actions or his gaze, never engaging in verbal spats.

But today, he called someone a cricket, likening them to ants, as if he were an emperor.

However, he did have the capital to do so…

“The person Mr. Yan wants to see will definitely come. However, she is currently…” Fei Yufei intended to change the subject, but when he saw Yan Wei’s determined gaze, tinged with mockery, he knew he had to let Yan Wei see her no matter what. Otherwise, the consequences would be something Fei Yufei didn’t want to witness.

So, Fei Yufei quickly shifted the topic and said, “She’s busy, but she’ll make time. I’ll have her come here. Mr. Yan, please wait a moment.”

As he spoke, Fei Yufei winked at Manager Jiang, but then he remembered that Yan Wei had prevented Manager Jiang from leaving, so he just smiled and called Shi Suoya on his own.

When Yan Ye came over, he saw Fei Yufei on the phone with Shi Suoya at the entrance.

“You come when I call you, so why the long talk? If you keep blabbering, get out!… Director? I don’t care which Director it is; you better come now! Got it? Half an hour. If I don’t see you, just wait and see!”

After speaking, Fei Yufei harshly ended the call and then noticed Yan Ye standing next to him.

“Fei Yufei, what are you doing? Why are you angry?” Yan Ye asked with a light smile.

The two brothers actually looked quite similar, and Fei Yufei had always been amazed by Yan Ye’s growth.

Amazed?

Hahaha…

Looking at Yan Ye, who was confidently commanding the situation, Fei Yufei couldn’t help but find it amusing. The gap between them was so significant that he could only feel inferior…

It turned out that there really are people in this world who, from birth, naturally stand taller than those who work hard their entire lives.

Seeing Yan Ye, who was still so complacent, Fei Yufei, who had always been dissatisfied, now found it laughable and took some satisfaction in it.

“Mr. Yan! Weren’t you in a meeting? How come you’re here?” Fei Yufei put on a smile and asked.

Yan Ye frowned slightly, sensing that Fei Yufei’s smile was insincere, but he understood the purpose of his visit, so he pretended to be concerned and said, “Mr. Fei, I haven’t seen you for so long, so I came to check on you.”

This old fox wanted to pull in the investors all by himself and then take credit for it next year under his own name. He’s dreaming.

Though Yan Ye cursed him inwardly, he still had to maintain a smile on his face.

Unexpectedly, Fei Yufei, who had come secretly to see the investor, smiled and said, “That’s great! Do you know Chunyi?”

Yan Ye wondered why he was bringing this up, but since he had already come all the way, there was no point in not talking about it. So, Yan Ye acted surprised and said, “Chunyi? Of course, I know.”

Fei Yufei was in a good mood and said, “What a coincidence! The CEO of Chunyi is inside. Come, let me introduce you to him.”

Yan Ye found Fei Yufei’s enthusiasm odd, but since he did want to meet the CEO of Chunyi, he pretended to be surprised and said, “Really? Well, I should definitely meet him then.”

Fei Yufei gave a very strange smile and opened the door, saying to someone inside, “Mr. Yan, people come when they come.”

Yan Ye was taken aback when he heard the term “Mr. Yan” , but then he realized that it was not referring to him. He found it even more puzzling: who else in the room would be addressed as “Mr. Yan “?

The feeling of incongruity grew stronger, and then he remembered what Gou Baoshan had said about his big brother being inside. So, the “Mr. Yan” must be his brother, Yan Wei!

Upon entering, he saw his brother sitting on the sofa, playing with his phone. There was also someone else sitting beside him, also playing with their phone. The person seemed familiar…

“Guo… Guoan?” Yan Ye exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the person beside his brother.

There were only two people who were not from Yu Yao present here: Guoan and Yan Wei. His brother must be here for his sister-in-law, and if Guoan was here, could it mean that he was the so-called CEO of Chunyi?

How could that be possible? The Guo family was ashamed to even mention this son who indulged in pleasures every day. Moreover, he had been in the country the whole time, so how could he be the CEO of a company that went public in the United States?

Zhen Guoan greeted Yan Ye, saying, “Hey, little Ye, long time no see! Come, have a seat, the real show has just begun!”

Yan Ye glanced at his brother. Zhen Guoan had always been following him around like a lackey since they were kids. Even their own family, the Zhen family, said that Zhen Guoan wouldn’t amount to much.

But even so, Zhen Guoan kept trailing behind his brother day after day until his brother went abroad. Only then did he become a gang leader himself. At the age of 18, he reportedly opened a bar in Yiwu City, but it got shut down two years ago.

Yan Ye couldn’t believe it, finding it hard to accept that someone like Guoan could be the CEO of Chunyi, even less worthy than his brother!

As he thought about it, Yan Ye trembled all over, and an almost impossible guess flashed through his mind.

Fei Yufei, as if not content with the impact, sat across from Yan Wei and turned to Yan Ye with a smile, saying, “Little President Yan (Yan Ye) is so polite. With such an impressive brother, you should have told us and let us bask in your brother’s glory. Hahaha…”

Yan Ye was still unsure of what was happening and could only smile awkwardly, looking at Fei Yufei with a bit of confusion.

Fei Yufei laughed heartily, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, “Little President Yan, come and sit!”

Originally sitting beside Fei Yufei, Manager Jiang immediately stood up and moved to Fei Yufei’s side, then turned back and said with a sycophantic smile, “Little President Yan, come and sit!”

Yan Ye walked over and sat down with a poker face. Yan Wei smiled and glanced at Yan Ye, then leaned forward, creating a strong sense of oppression. Yan Ye heard his brother say, “Don’t you understand how to seek justice for your sister-in-law? Now, let me teach you.”

As Yan Ye finished speaking, Shi Suoya, who had been hiding in the company, hurriedly rushed in. She knocked on the door and entered, asking, “Mr. Fei, did you summon me?”

Fei Yufei often brought her along to entertain guests, but unless absolutely necessary, Shi Suoya was not willing to see him.

However, to her surprise, the office that she thought only had Fei Yufei in it was now filled with people. She saw Fei Yufei and Yan Ye sitting together, with Manager Jiang, who used to be so arrogant, standing beside them.

Manager Jiang had shrunk into a small figure, looking somewhat ridiculous. And sitting across from them was the person she used to look down upon, the useless Yan Family’s big young master who was driven away by his family and never put up a fight.

Yet, the big young master still possessed a strong aura, even though he was a useless man.

Shi Suoya’s lovely smile froze for a moment when she noticed another man sitting on a single sofa, looking up from his phone when she entered.

He teased, “Oh, you’re Shi Suoya, right?”

Shi Suoya lifted her chin with a hint of pride and said, “Yes.”

“In that case, I should take a good look. This is a real-life celebrity! By the way, boss, how long are you planning to keep her as a celebrity?” With a face of “confusion,” Zhen Guo’an turned to Yan Wei, making Shi Suoya feel strange.

But then she saw Yan Wei’s indifferent response, “She is not a celebrity anymore.”

Shi Suoya furrowed her eyebrows, and Fei Yufei did the same. Yan Wei crossed his legs calmly and stated something absolutely cruel to Shi Suoya, “What? Didn’t the director tell you not to come to the company today?”

Fei Yufei glared at Shi Suoya; it turned out that she was hiding in the company.

However, Shi Suoya didn’t care about Fei Yufei’s gaze. She only looked at Yan Wei, not understanding why he knew the director asked her to take a day off. Wasn’t it normal to take a break if there were issues with the filming schedule?

Yan Wei smiled and said, “Did you know that the Brilliant City leading actress was replaced?”

Shi Suoya blinked. She was the leading actress of the Brilliant City crew.

Yan Wei lowered his head to look at his phone again. He looked at the numerous text messages he sent to Qiao Qiao, but none received any response. However, the report from Liang Jiamin indicated that Qiaoqiao’s eating and drinking habits were normal. Thinking about Liang Jiamin asking Qiaoqiao if she wanted a divorce and Qiaoqiao’s reaction, Yan Wei felt warm inside.

He smiled, gently touching the chat interface between him and Qiaoqiao, but his mouth uttered cold words, “It seems you still don’t know. Well, I didn’t want them to tell you. I believe it’s better for me to tell you in person, so you can understand why you ended up in this situation.”

Yan Wei locked his phone and looked up at Shi Suoya, saying, “What a fall from grace!”

Everyone: “???”

Yan Wei sighed, “I never thought that one day I would do something like this and use my power to oppress someone in front of all of you.” He had never felt proud of displaying his authority in front of insignificant people. Even if he sought revenge on such people, he only needed to give a simple order.

However…

Yan Wei sighed again, “But at the same time, I feel that to stand up for Qiaoqiao, I need to personally come here and show my sincerity.” He stood up, and Zhen Guoan immediately followed suit, both of them wearing cold expressions. Yan Wei walked step by step toward Shi Suoya and said, “To demonstrate my sincerity, I came here in person to tell you. Miss Shi, you have been…blacklisted by the entire entertainment industry.”

All: “!!!”
