The Physician Tycoon

Chapter 257 Guo Tingting's Dilemma

Upon arriving at the Guo family home, Guo Tingting couldn't wait to get intimate with Ye Kai as soon as she entered the room, but Ye Kai refused.

Guo Tingting found it strange, "We haven't seen each other for several days, don't you miss us? Or have you been with other women?"

Ye Kai questioned, "I'm asking you, why did you accept bribes from others?"

Guo Tingting suddenly realized, "Oh, so what's wrong with you? You're angry about this? Don't put it so harshly. It's just a little gift, what's the big deal about bribery?"

"I heard everything outside. You took ten million from Su Daqiang and a luminous pearl from Li Xiuwen. Li Xiuwen also promised to give you another twenty million after the deed is done."

Guo Tingting blushed and retorted, "It's normal for me to receive a little something for helping them. Which department don't give you a bribe these days?"

"Just because others embezzle and accept bribes doesn't mean you'll do the same. And if they go to jail, you'll go to jail too?"

Guo Tingting said nonchalantly, "It's not that serious. Which official doesn't take bribes these days? Who would arrest you if you didn't have a hundred million?"

Aren't you afraid of being reported?

"Who reported me? You?"

Ye Kai curled his lip, "I can't care about you."

"Who would dare to report this? Anyone who does will be severely punished. The higher-ups don't care whether your report is true or not; they'll retaliate against everyone!"

"This is outrageous! Why retaliate against whistleblowers?"

"Think about it, officials hate being reported. If they can report you today, they can report Li tomorrow. So there's an unwritten rule in officialdom: whoever reports you, regardless of whether their report is right or wrong, will be dealt with ruthlessly!"

Ye Kai gasped, "Damn, they really are all the same."

"What do you think? How naive."

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I'm not talking to you anymore. You'd better take care of yourself."

Ye Kai was about to leave when Guo Tingting hugged him from behind.

"Don't go! Please understand me. Why did I do this? Wasn't it because of you?"

"You're really good at making excuses. Tell me, what for me?"

"You told me to stop making products from Shrek and Elizabeth, and I did. But those two companies alone cost me tens of millions a year! Can't I just charge a small fee to compensate you?"

"These are two different things. This is not an excuse for you to accept bribes. Besides, you took money from two companies at the same time. You're bound to get into trouble sooner or later!"

Guo Tingting argued vehemently, "What could possibly go wrong? Everyone does it! Ask around—how many officials don't accept bribes? If they do, I won't accept them either!"

"I've said everything I needed to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you!"

Ye Kai broke free from Guo Tingting's embrace and strode out of the Guo family home.

Guo Tingting watched Ye Kai's retreating figure with a puzzled look on her face. She felt wronged because she had sacrificed so much for Ye Kai's words.

Ye Kai didn't understand at all that they were just taking back some compensation.

Ye Kai left the Guo family's house, walking with indignation.

He felt that he and Guo Tingting were not on the same wavelength. A shrewd businessman is a shrewd businessman. He will take advantage of any benefit, regardless of whether it is illegal or not, let alone morality.

"Hey, Ye Kai, what a coincidence!" a voice rang out from the side.

Ye Kai turned his head and saw Qian Feifei standing in the yard talking to him. It turned out that he had unknowingly walked to Qian Feifei's door.

Ye Kaixin thought, Guo Tingting is not a good person. You, Qian Feifei, are her best friend, so you're no better. You hang out with those Japanese people every day; you're a traitor.

Ye Kai ignored Qian Feifei completely and walked straight past the door.

Qian Feifei was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the door and followed Ye Kai.

"Ye Kai, slow down! What's wrong with you? I'm talking to you, why aren't you responding?"

Qian Feifei walked side by side with Ye Kai, looking at Ye Kai with curiosity.

"Miss Qian, you should go home. What are you doing following me?"

"We're friends, and I'm your girlfriend, so of course I'll be with you."

"I'm not good enough for you. Your family is wealthy, you're a returned overseas student, and I'm just a farmer!"

"But I just like you! No matter who you are, I like you."

"You say that, but who knows what you're really thinking."

Qian Feifei became increasingly puzzled. "Ye Kai, what's wrong with you today? What triggered you?"

She recalled the direction Ye Kai had come from and immediately understood.

"Did you and Guo Tingting have a fight?"

Ye Kai snorted and continued striding forward.

Qian Feifei's deduction was confirmed by Ye Kai's expression.

"What's the big deal about arguing? I'll talk to Guo Tingting for you later. She's such a grown-up, doesn't she know how to give way to her younger brother?"

"Don't talk about her anymore, it's no use, we're just not on the same path."

"What do you mean by 'one road' or 'two roads'? I think you two are a good match."

"I'm not good enough for her. Don't follow me; we're not cut out for each other!"

"I didn't provoke you. I'll do whatever you say, and I can give you anything you want."

"You rich young ladies are all talk. When it comes to actually affecting your interests, you won't consider my feelings at all."

"What exactly happened between you and Tingting? What did she do to make you hate her so much?"

"She's a shrewd businesswoman, don't mention her."

Qian Feifei suddenly remembered something, "Is it because of a piece of land?"

Ye Kai stopped abruptly, asking in surprise, "How did you know?"

"This land is very popular now. Not only Taoyuan, but many forces in Jiangzhou are eyeing this land."

"Who are they?"

"Local companies like the Su Group and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce are also keeping an eye on it."

"The Japanese, they want this land too?"

"Yes, they asked me to do this, but I didn't agree."

"Since this land is so sought after, why don't you agree?"

"My family is in the medical field and has never been involved in real estate before. Although I know that real estate can be quite profitable, I don't want to be distracted right now."

Furthermore, the Japanese are very ambitious, and I don't want to get involved with them.

"You're quite smart, smarter than Guo Tingting."

Qian Feifei laughed, "Tingting is smarter than me, otherwise how could she have become the president? She's just caught up in the world and has no choice but to follow the crowd."

I think she did it voluntarily.

"No, she had her reasons."

"What hardship could she possibly have? She received so many benefits."

"So, who did she give the land to?"

"It was given to two families, the Su family and the Li family on Hong Kong Island."

"Oh, she didn't give it to the Japanese?"

Why give it to the Japanese?

"The Japanese are looking for her. They've talked to her and they're determined to get that land."

"Why should the Japanese be considered superior?"

"Don't underestimate the Japanese. They have a lot of influence in Jiangzhou. They are developing many plots of land in Jiangzhou now."

"They've gone too far. It seems Guo Tingting still has a conscience."

"Of course, she understands right from wrong. Let's go to Tingting's house."

"Go where you're going. If you want to go, go yourself."

"Are you still angry with her? She's had it tough too. Even though she got some benefits, she didn't give the land to the Japanese, so she can be considered a patriot."

Ye Kai thought about it and agreed. If Guo Tingting gave the land to the Japanese, then she would be a heinous traitor.

Although she gave the land to the Su and Li families and received kickbacks, it was understandable since both families were from the Great Xia Dynasty.

Thinking about it that way, my anger subsided a bit.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Qian Feifei said happily, "That's right, let's go!"

The two arrived at Guo Tingting's house. The door was wide open, and several bodyguards were lying haphazardly on the floor of the living room. The sounds of fighting could be heard from upstairs.

Oh no! Something's happened to Guo Tingting!

Ye Kai leaped to the second floor and headed straight for Guo Tingting's room.
