This was Ye Chen’s first time meeting Wang Dongxue.


He had to admit, Wang Dongxue was stunningly beautiful!


At around 27 or 28 years old, she had a slender yet curvaceous figure, breathtakingly exquisite features, and an elegant, capable aura.


As Ye Chen sat down in front of Wang Dongxue’s desk, he immediately said, “I won’t be visiting the Emgrand Group often in the future, so you’ll be in charge of running things here. Also, don’t disclose my identity to anyone.”


Wang Dongxue knew that the young master before her came from an extraordinarily powerful family. To such a family, the Emgrand Group was nothing more than a drop in the ocean, so it was entirely understandable that he wouldn’t want to personally manage it.


She quickly responded, “Young Master, if there’s anything you need in the future, just give me your instructions.”


At that moment, a female secretary knocked and entered the office, saying, “Vice Chair Wang, someone named Wang Yunfei is here with his fiancée to see you.”


Wang Dongxue immediately replied, “I’m meeting an important guest right now. Let them wait.”


Ye Chen asked, “Do you know this Wang Yunfei?”


Wang Dongxue hurriedly explained, “Wang Yunfei’s family is one of our smaller business partners. Most of their business relies on us. They’ve been asking to meet me several times.”


Ye Chen said coldly, “From now on, the Emgrand Group will no longer do any business with the Wang family. Terminate all ongoing and planned collaborations immediately. If the Wang family earns even a single cent from the Emgrand Group again, you can hand in your resignation as vice chair!”


Wang Dongxue’s expression turned serious. Without needing further explanation, she could tell that someone from the Wang family must have offended the young master.


She nodded decisively and said, “Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ll issue the order right away to terminate all collaborations with the Wang family!”


Ye Chen nodded and added, “Tell them the Emgrand Group doesn’t collaborate with low-class individuals, and have security escort them out.”


…


Outside, Wang Yunfei and Xiao Weiwei were waiting excitedly.


The Wang family had been eager to become a strategic partner of the Emgrand Group and were hoping to build a closer relationship with Wang Dongxue.


Unexpectedly, Wang Dongxue’s secretary arrived with several security guards.


Wang Yunfei couldn’t help but ask, “Excuse me, will Vice Chair Wang be able to meet with us?”


The secretary looked at him coldly and said, “I’m sorry, but Vice Chair Wang has made it clear that the Emgrand Group will not collaborate with individuals of your low character. Effective immediately, all collaborations with your family are terminated.”


“What did you say?!”


Wang Yunfei was stunned, unable to believe what he was hearing. The words sounded eerily familiar—weren’t they exactly what Ye Chen had said in the parking lot earlier?


What did Vice Chair Wang mean by this? Were they really cutting ties with the Wang family?


Wang Yunfei’s mind was spinning.


What was going on?


Terminating all collaborations?


Over half of the Wang family’s profits came from their dealings with the Emgrand Group!


If the partnership was severed, wouldn’t the Wang family’s strength be cut in half immediately?


Unable to accept this reality, Wang Yunfei shouted, “I demand to see Vice Chair Wang! I want to ask her directly!”


The secretary replied coldly, “I’m sorry, Vice Chair Wang will not see you. Moreover, you are no longer allowed to set foot in the Emgrand Group.”


Furious, Wang Yunfei yelled, “Are you messing with me? We’ve been long-term partners of the Emgrand Group! How could you just terminate our partnership like this?”


Ignoring him, the secretary turned to the security guards and said, “Throw them out!”


The head of security immediately stepped forward, grabbed Wang Yunfei’s wrist, and twisted it behind his back.


Wang Yunfei cried out in pain as the head of security barked, “Get out of here! If you cause trouble at the Emgrand Group, I’ll make sure you regret it!”


“You’re just a head of security! How dare you talk to me like this? Do you even know who I am?”


Before Wang Yunfei could finish, the head of security slapped him hard across the face and snapped, “Who do you think you are in front of the Emgrand Group?”


The slap left Wang Yunfei’s face burning. As he was about to lose his temper, his phone suddenly rang—it was his father calling.


Answering the call, he heard his father’s furious voice shouting, “You brat! What trouble did you cause out there? The Emgrand Group is terminating all our collaborations because of you! Who the hell did you offend?”


Wang Yunfei, feeling wronged, replied, “Dad, I didn’t offend anyone! I just came to meet Vice Chair Wang, but I haven’t even seen her yet…”


His father roared, “The Emgrand Group said they’re cutting ties with us because you’re an uncivilized piece of trash! The family is suffering huge losses because of you! Get back here immediately and explain yourself to your grandfather!”


As Wang Yunfei was forcibly escorted out of the Emgrand Group by the security guards, he held his phone, completely dumbfounded.


Suddenly, he thought of Ye Chen and couldn’t help but ask Xiao Weiwei, “Weiwei, could it be because of your useless brother-in-law? Could he have some connection to the Emgrand Group?”


“What?” Xiao Weiwei was startled by Wang Yunfei’s words. Thinking it over, it did seem possible that her useless brother-in-law might be involved.


But no, that was impossible!


“He’s just a nobody! How could he have any connection to the Emgrand Group? He’s not even qualified to clean their toilets!”


Wang Yunfei nodded and, thinking about his furious father, said dejectedly, “I have to hurry home…”


The news of the Emgrand Group terminating all collaboration with the Wang family quickly spread throughout Jinling.


Although no one knew the exact reason for the Emgrand Group’s decision, everyone understood that the Wang family must have offended them in some way.


This marked the downfall of the Wang family.


Their strength was instantly reduced by more than half. Originally on the verge of becoming a top-tier family, they now fell to the bottom of the second-tier families.


When Grandma Xiao heard the news, she was so furious that her entire body trembled.


She wanted to annul the engagement between Xiao Weiwei and Wang Yunfei, but considering that even a weakened Wang family was still more powerful than the Xiao family, she didn’t dare to act rashly and had to put the matter aside for the time being.


…


Meanwhile, in Wang Dongxue’s office.


Ye Chen, having learned about everything that had happened earlier, was very impressed with her handling of the situation.


He said with satisfaction, “Dongxue, you handled the situation very well just now. Starting today, your salary will be doubled.”


Wang Dongxue was both surprised and delighted. She quickly stood up, bowed to Ye Chen, and said, “Thank you, Young Master Ye!”


Ye Chen nodded and said, “Also, I want you to make two announcements to the public.”


“Please instruct me, Young Master.”


“First, announce that the Emgrand Group has a new owner and a new chairman has taken office. Do not disclose the chairman’s identity—only mention that the surname is Ye.”


“Second, announce that the Emgrand Group will be investing 2 billion yuan in Jinling to build a six-star hotel. Simultaneously, launch a bidding process for partners. Construction and renovation companies throughout the city are welcome to participate!”


The Xiao Group’s main business was renovation, and Grandma Xiao had always dreamed of aligning herself with the Emgrand Group. Whoever secured a partnership with the Emgrand Group would undoubtedly become her favorite within the company.


Now that the Emgrand Group was his, Ye Chen naturally wanted to give his wife a little advantage.
