Chapter 385: The Ye Rong That’s Almost Dead

At the time, Mr. Zhang came in from outside and said, “Senior Sister Lan, the e-commerce company that you have 10% in, their board of directors called and said that they need to speak to you in person. They asked for you to go to their Yanjing headquarters if you have time.”

Auntie Lan sighed. “I knew this would happen. I hope they aren’t too ugly when they are trying to eat.”

Lin Chuxue asked curiously, ‘What happened?”

Auntie Lan: “They probably want a withdrawal of shares.”

Lin Chuxue: “Why?”

“In the past, there was the Ye Family’s backing, and strictly speaking, that 10% of shares was a bonus! It was basically a big red pocket for us to buy a foothold in the market. Now that the Ye Family collapsed, they probably want to force me to sell the shares in my hand. Things like this are inevitable. Young Madam, just wait for me at home, I will go to Yanjing for two days and I will be right back.”

“Xu Cheng’s in Yanjing anyway, I will just come with you, and I can also see him on the way,” Lin Chuxue said.

Auntie Lan nodded.

The two of them appeared at the airport in the afternoon, and under the protection of the new assistant, Lin Chuxue was fully covered up and left safely without being tracked by the paparazzi and the media.

Accompanying Auntie Lan, Lin Chuxue and the new assistant went to the company building of the e-commerce company. 

They directly went to the highest floor in the highrise, and the CEO brought Auntie Lan to the board meeting.

Auntie Lan and Lin Chuxue waited at the office, and very soon, the CEO came back with a newly-added member to the board of directors, who came over and smiled at Auntie Lan and said, “President Lan, long time no see.”

Auntie Lan recognized the guy, it was none other than President Li!

It was that President Li whose wife offended Xu Cheng and was forced by Auntie Lan to drag his wife to the door to kneel and apologize!

“It’s you?” Auntie Lan was shocked and a bit surprised.
“It is me alright.” President Li gracefully sat down across from her and said, “You probably know now why I asked you to come right? Everyone knows the rules, I think you know what to do.”

The founder and CEO of the company, President Wang, said, “Senior Sister Wang, in the past, the company needed the Ye Family, but you know that the Ye Family has fallen, and if the company still wants to compete against the other two e-commerce companies in the nation that have big backgrounds, we naturally need some official background to support us. President Li here is representing the Li Family and they are very sincere and willing to invest in our company. The board has decided through voting to give your shares to the Li Family.”

Auntie Lan leaned back against the sofa and said, “I know the rules, but the 10% of shares I have is worth 6.6 billion US dollars. President Li, how much are you planning to use to gobble up these shares? If it’s too little, I wouldn’t be willing.”

President Li sneered. “President Lan, are you forgetting about the fact that the Ye Family no longer exists now? Where do you get the confidence to negotiate with me? The lesson you taught me earlier, I still vividly remember. I’m just this kind of person, you can say that I bully the good and fear the evil, but when I can pay someone back, I will never hesitate! Now, I will give you two choices. One, kneel down and apologize to me, slap yourself and say you were wrong, and I can use 6.6 billion US dollars to eat your shares. The second choice is, you can reject the first one and go head to head with me! However, I won’t even pay a cent, but will rather use my means to make you give me your shares. If you are smart, you would know that without the Ye Family, you are just a tiger without teeth.”

Auntie Lan laughed. “A tiger without teeth can still kill you with her paws.”

President Li began laughing out loud.

“Old woman, you are not at your prime anymore, you should retire soon. A complicated business like e-commerce might not be suitable for you anymore, I think you should go invest in colleges or care facilities for the elderly. I will give you one more chance, First or second choice?”

Seeing Auntie Lan in a difficult spot, Lin Chuxue came closer and asked, “Is the Li Family powerful?”

Auntie Lan bitterly smiled. “The most powerful Li Family is already done, and this Li Family before us is at most a cat in Yanjing, and it cannot be compared to the tiger Li Family at all. As for me right now, I can’t fight this cat. A couple of months earlier, they got into some conflict with Young Master, and I secretly helped Young Master. So, this President Li had been holding a grudge since then, and I’m afraid this time he came prepared.”

Lin Chuxue narrowed her eyes. “Does Xu Cheng have any ways?”

Auntie Lan: “Forget it, let’s not trouble Young Master. I will just give up these shares, no big deal.”

“No!” Lin Chuxue’s face grew cold. “This is gifted to you by me and Xu Cheng, how can we just give up to someone else?”

Auntie Lan bitterly smiled. “There’s no other way. This is how society is, unless we don’t want to live anymore.”

“I want to live, and I want the money too!” Lin Chxue gritted her teeth and said, “What Xu Cheng taught me over the years is that what’s mine is mine, no one can take it! What’s not mine isn’t mine, and I won’t long over it.”

Then, Lin Chuxue stood up and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”

President Li clapped his hands, and a bunch of bodyguards came in from outside the meeting room. He smiled at Auntie Lan and said, “That night, I’ve learned and deliberately went to look for some guards that can actually fight. Hurry up and make a choice. Otherwise, if I accidentally beat you to death, I will really be a bit sad considering your age. So, consider wisely.”

After Lin Chuxue went into the washroom, she took out her phone and called Xu Cheng and told him everything that happened today, all the way up to the part where they came to Yanjing and encountered President Li.

Xu Cheng laughed on the phone and said, “Sure enough, those from the same family are all pretty much the same. About you giving those assets to Auntie Lan, that’s very much my intention as well. The President Li incident started with me, I will take care of it.”

Lin Chuxue nodded.

After hanging up, the old man Ye who was in a rocking chair beside him asked, “Trouble?’

Xu Cheng nodded. “Grandpa Ye, is there a Li Family in Yanjing?”

The old man nodded. “Besides that behemoth Li Family, I’ve never cared about any other Li Family. If you want me to do you a favor, just say it. Hurry up and pour me a drink, I will take care of this for you so you don’t have to drive out and take care of it yourself.”

Xu Cheng picked up the Maotai and immediately poured him a cup. “Just one cup though.”

The old man slowly savored the drink, leaving Xu Cheng getting more and more anxious on the side. “Hurry up, or I might as well just go over there myself…”

“Little Xiu, get me that whatever Li Family’s number. I will call the head of their household.”

Ye Xiu was just exercising in the yard, and upon hearing his grandpa’s words, he immediately jumped off the equipment and ran into the house. It didn’t take him long before retrieving the contact information of the highest decision-maker of the Li Family from Yanjing.

He dialed the phone and then handed it to his grandpa.

As soon as the call connected, a voice came from the other end, “Who is this?”

“I’m Ye Rong! You are Li Menglong, right? Is that Li Hui your son?”

“Ye Rong? Which Ye Rong?” The guy didn’t seem to remember.

The old man’s bad temper immediately came up. “That old as fack Ye Rong that’s almost dead!”
