Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

"Squeak!"

Several screeching sounds rang out.

A fleet of luxury cars, led by a gold Rolls-Royce, came to a smooth stop in front of the management committee building of the electronics industrial park.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhu Xiaoming, the person in charge of the park, immediately ran forward and respectfully opened the back door.

"Young Master Ye, why did you personally..." Zhu Xiaoming's words trailed off. He never expected to see Ji Wenbo, this "acquaintance," under such circumstances, especially since he was getting out of Young Master Ye's car.

Ji Wenbo got out of the car, straightened his shirt collar, and looked at Zhu Xiaoming with a half-smile, saying, "Director Zhu, you don't recognize me after just one day?"

"You?!" Zhu Xiaoming's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and his smile froze on his face. His mind was buzzing. If he had known that Xiaxin International and Ye's Group were related and so close, how could he have possibly turned them away!
Even if it were a direct descendant of the Li Group speaking, it wouldn't be possible. No matter how stupid he is, he can tell who the big boss and the small boss are!
Ji Wenbo can ride in the same car as Young Master Ye, so his status is self-evident. If he continues to look down on the situation, he should just give up his position as the head of the park and go back to raising cattle!
"Mr. Ji, you're joking," Zhu Xiaoming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced a smile, saying, "There might have been some misunderstanding about yesterday."

"Misunderstanding?" Ye Feng stepped out of the car and his indifferent gaze immediately fell on Zhu Xiaoming. "You should tell me properly what kind of misunderstanding this is."

"If you didn't know better... you'd think it was the threshold of your Pengcheng Electronics Industry Cluster, so high you had to crane your neck to see it."

Zhu Xiaoming's legs went weak, and he almost lost his balance. Fortunately, the park's senior management behind him helped him up, preventing him from making a fool of himself.

Who is Ye Feng? He is the heir to the top-tier Ye Group, a figure of great influence in the entire Southeast region. With a single word from him, not only would someone like myself, a mere park manager, have to think twice, even his superiors would have to consider the consequences.

Of course, to become the top person in charge of Pengcheng's newly built future semiconductor industrial park, he must be very capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known that the person who came was Ye Feng immediately. It's just that his strength is not enough in front of Ye Feng!

"Young Master Ye, this...this really wasn't our intention!" Zhu Xiaoming quickly explained, "It was Li Mingrui, the young master of the Li Group, who personally called and told us to refuse President Ji and his group."

"Li Mingrui?" Ye Feng frowned slightly, not expecting this turn of events. He sneered, "Is the Li Group so great? Since when did foreign capital start ordering around someone like you, the person in charge of the industrial park? I'm quite curious, do you still have a straight back?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaoming's face turned deathly pale, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. Even the senior executives of the park behind him lowered their heads, not daring to meet Ye Feng's gaze.

There was a suffocating sense of oppression in the air.

Ji Wenbo knew that the fire had burned out enough and it was time to step forward. He bowed slightly and said to Ye Feng, "Young Master Ye, why don't we go inside and sit down to talk slowly? After all, this isn't a place to discuss business under the blazing sun."

Ye Feng glanced at Ji Wenbo, nodded slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Alright, let's go inside and talk then!"

Zhu Xiaoming felt as if he had been granted a pardon. After giving Ji Wenbo a grateful look, he quickly stepped aside to make way, bowed, and raised his hand, saying, "Young Master Ye, President Ji, please come in. Let's talk in the conference room!"

Ye Feng strode forward, with Ji Wenbo close behind. Zhu Xiaoming and the other senior executives of the park followed cautiously, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Upon entering the conference room, Ye Feng went straight to the head seat and sat down. Ji Wenbo hesitated for a moment before sitting down to his right. Zhu Xiaoming and the other senior executives of the park all stood with their heads bowed, not daring to sit down.

"Sit down!" Ye Feng raised his eyes slightly, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Zhu Xiaoming then cautiously sat down to Ye Feng's left, but only dared to touch half of the chair with his buttocks, keeping his back straight, looking as if he was ready to get up and listen to a reprimand at any time.

Ye Feng tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his gaze sweeping over Zhu Xiaoming and the others: "What does a 10nm chip mean? I'm sure you, as the heads of the electronics industrial park, know what it means, right?"

"I just don't understand how a company like Xiamen Chip International, which has the potential to become a semiconductor unicorn, could be turned away by you. What? Is the industrial park in Pengcheng only for foreign companies, and domestic companies are not qualified to come in?"

These words were like killing someone's spirit. Naturally, some of the park's leaders were unaware of the inside story, and when they heard about the 10nm chip, many of them showed a look of shock.

Although they are not very involved in the semiconductor field, they still know the basics of chips and naturally understand that 10nm chips mean the most advanced chip technology in the world!
If a company like this were to settle in their industrial park, and it were a domestic company, it would be an incredible opportunity for them. Getting promoted and making a fortune would be incredibly easy!

However, this golden opportunity was blocked by Zhu Xiaoming, the person in charge of the park, which meant that their dreams of promotion and wealth had vanished, so how could they not be angry?

In an instant, all the eyes of the park's senior management were focused on Zhu Xiaoming. Zhu Xiaoming, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, immediately felt his heart jump into his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.

Zhu Xiaoming knew in his heart that if he didn't resolve this matter perfectly today, his position, even without Ye Feng's intervention, would not be secure for him by the higher-ups in the park.

Swallowing nervously, Zhu Xiaoming quickly explained, "Young Master Ye, our park has always welcomed outstanding domestic companies, especially emerging high-tech companies with huge potential like Xiamen Chip International! What happened yesterday... was really due to pressure. Li Mingrui personally called to put pressure on me, and I was just confused for a moment..."

He secretly cursed his bad luck, wondering how he could possibly know that Xiaxin International, an obscure company, had powerful backers.

As for the 10nm chip, he had previously scoffed at it. After all, even a huge company like the Li Group was only working on 12nm chips. How could a company he had never heard of possibly develop a 10nm chip?
Zhu Xiaoming believes that even people who don't know anything about Xiaxin International would think it's just a shell company.

Add to that the promises Li Mingrui made to him, such as expanding investment in the industrial park—how could he possibly miss out on such a glaringly obvious achievement!
"Foolish?" Ye Feng sneered. How could he not see that there was something fishy going on? "Just a young master of a foreign company, and you think you can get rid of your basic principles just by making empty promises? What are your park's investment attraction standards? Is it based on who has the most money or who has the strongest background?"

The meeting room was completely silent. Zhu Xiaoming kept his head down, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Ye Feng gave Ji Wenbo a subtle look, signaling that it was time for him to make his appearance!
Seeing this, Ji Wenbo spoke up at the right time: "Young Master Ye, it's possible that there was a misunderstanding during our communication, which led Director Zhu to mistakenly believe that our company was weak, thus giving the Li Group an opportunity to take advantage of us!"

"Director Zhu must now have a new understanding of the strength of our Xiaxin International, which can be considered as clearing up this misunderstanding. How about we talk about serious business?"

"During this trip to Shenzhen, Xiaxin International is very interested in the electronics industry cluster and plans to relocate its headquarters and manufacturing center here. After all, the industrial chain and policy support here are very complete, which will greatly help our development and market expansion!"

Ji Wenbo's words were like a ray of light shining into Zhu Xiaoming, who was sinking into the abyss, pulling him out of despair. He looked at Ji Wenbo and... Ye Feng with a flushed face!
He understood that only when Ye Feng spoke up personally could he truly break free.

Ye Feng nodded slowly. At first, he had considered using some means to make Zhu Xiaoming pack up and leave, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. Having someone he knew well as the person in charge of the park would save Ji Wenbo and the others a lot of trouble.

“Wenbo’s words make some sense. Once this matter is clarified, it will be over. However…” His sharp gaze instantly fell on Zhu Xiaoming. “I don’t want anything like this to happen again. The matter of Xiaxin International moving into the park should be settled today. Is there a problem?”

Zhu Xiaoming immediately stood up and said decisively, "No problem! Please rest assured, Young Master Ye, I will personally oversee the process, and all procedures will be expedited. The park will also provide Xiaxin International with the highest level of support policies!" Ye Feng then gave a satisfied "hmm," and said, "You two can discuss the details thoroughly. I'll go and take a look at your park's plans!"

After learning about Xiaxin International's trump card from Su Chen, he knew how rapidly Xiaxin International would develop in the future. He started thinking about how to get a share of the pie, whether to invest in a company upstream or downstream of the industry and tie it to Xiaxin International.

Just as Ye Feng was about to get up and leave the conference room to Ji Wenbo and the others, there was a knock on the door, and a young girl hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

When Zhu Xiaoming saw the clumsy clerk, he wanted to yell at him, but then he remembered that Ye Feng was still there, and the angry words he was about to say turned into: "Look at you, in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

The female clerk was startled when she noticed everyone's eyes were on her, but she quickly recovered and reported, "Director Zhu, people from Sanxing Electronics have arrived. They say they're here to sign an entry agreement with the industrial park!"

A silence fell over the meeting room. No one had expected Sanxing Electronics to be so proactive. According to past practice, it would have taken at least ten days to half a month to maximize profits.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. He hadn't expected Sanxing Electronics to act so quickly, realizing that there was a loophole in their plan to sabotage Xiaxin International and immediately arranging for someone to plug it.

If he stays out for an hour or two today, and once Sanxing Electronics and the Electronics Industrial Park sign the relevant agreement, it won't be so easy for him to drive Sanxing Electronics out of the park.

Ye Feng was well aware of the tactics used in business warfare; they were nothing more than relying on connections, manipulating public opinion, and creating blockades.

"Young Master Ye, what do you think..." Zhu Xiaoming didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only turn his gaze to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng tapped his fingertips lightly on the conference table, glanced indifferently at Zhu Xiaoming, and said, "Xiaxin International, a future unicorn company in the semiconductor field, is right in front of you. What else can't you understand? If you sign Sanxing Electronics, the industrial park will probably be in chaos."

Zhu Xiaoming was a smart man and immediately understood what Ye Feng meant. If Xiaxin International and Sanxing Electronics were allowed to move into the park, who knew how fierce the competition would become in the future.

As long as he clings to Ye Feng's coattails, even if Xiaxin International doesn't develop into a unicorn, it won't be a significant loss for him.

Once he understood, Zhu Xiaoming immediately said to the female clerk at the door, "Go tell the people at Sanxing Electronics that the agreement is temporarily put on hold, and we need to re-examine their qualifications!"

The female clerk was stunned. Asking her to reject a foreign company like Sanxing Electronics seemed like overestimating her abilities!
Seeing the female clerk still standing there in a daze, Zhu Xiaoming immediately frowned and said in a low voice, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

The female clerk, regaining her senses, nodded somewhat bewilderedly and quickly turned to walk outside.

Watching the female clerk's disappearing figure, Zhu Xiaoming felt a little melancholy. He could have easily arranged for a high-ranking person to go, but in order to please Ye Feng, he deliberately had the female clerk reject the people from Sanxing Electronics, just to humiliate them.

Just imagine, a prestigious international company being fired by a mere clerk—who wouldn't feel upset?

Ye Feng naturally saw through Zhu Xiaoming's little scheme, and nodded with a slight smile.

"Alright, you two should have a good talk and try to sign the settlement agreement as quickly as possible. When the time comes, the park can invite some media. The news that a semiconductor industry giant will be settling in Pengcheng Electronic Industry Cluster is such a big deal that it must be reported properly!"

Ye Feng paused for a moment before continuing, "Especially the 10nm chip that we have independently developed and are already in mass production is of paramount importance!"

"Understood!" Zhu Xiaoming stood up excitedly and responded loudly.

His mind is now completely occupied with 10nm chips. If this news were to be disseminated through official media, countless people, like him before, who thought it was fake news, would be shocked beyond words!

The park will be packed with semiconductor companies, and the companies that move in will come naturally without the companies having to worry about it!

Ye Feng nodded to Ji Wenbo, then asked Zhu Xiaoming to arrange for two senior executives from the park to accompany him before leaving the conference room.

As soon as Ye Feng left, Zhu Xiaoming breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling almost completely exhausted. He wiped the sweat from his face and gave Ji Wenbo, who was sitting opposite him, a fawning smile: "President Ji, I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday! You're so magnanimous, please don't forget it!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wenbo smiled and said meaningfully, "Director Zhu, let bygones be bygones. Let's talk about the settlement agreement!"

Zhu Xiaoming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! President Ji is right! You see... let's sign the entry agreement now? All the preferential policies will be implemented at the highest standard!"

Ji Wenbo nodded slightly: "We'll do it your way, Brother Zhu. As for the media, we'll still need to trouble you, Brother Zhu!"

Upon hearing that Ji Wenbo had changed how he addressed him, Zhu Xiaoming's smile widened, making his already small eyes almost disappear into slits.

"Sure thing! Sure thing! I'll arrange it right away after the agreement is signed!"

……

"What did you say? Director Chen refused to sign an agreement with Sanxing Electronics?"

The person from Sanxing Electronics who came to the park to sign the agreement was the company's vice president, also surnamed Park, named Park Pu-dong. He was looking at the female clerk in front of him with an incredulous expression!
"Yes, the director said your qualifications need to be reviewed again. We will contact you by phone when they are approved!" the female clerk said expressionlessly, but she was actually panicking inside.

Park Bo-dong's heart skipped a beat; he knew the worst had happened.

Having been assigned by Park Young-shin to assist Lee Myung-rye, he naturally knew what Lee Myung-rye had done, and that it had even passed through his hands.

The park's refusal to sign a contract with Sanxing Electronics means that Xiaxin International's backer has already stepped in.

Thinking of this, Park Pu-dong had no intention of staying here any longer. Under the female clerk's surprised gaze, he quickly turned around and left the lobby with his people.

After getting into the car, Park Bo-dong immediately called his boss, Park Young-shin.

As soon as the call connected, Park Pu-dong said, somewhat distraught, "The sky has fallen!" (End of Chapter)
