A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After Ye Xuan left, Ye Beichen's gaze fell on Zhao Ling's face.

Zhao Ling is Ye Xuan's mother and also works at the same company.

The old man considered it for a moment and said, "Xiaoling, Ye Xuan is not suited for business. Yun'er is pursuing a political career. Let Yao'er take over the family affairs gradually from now on. I hope you have no objections."

Zhao Ling said, "Xiao Xuan isn't cut out for this. I'll be content as long as he's safe and sound. I watched Yao'er grow up, so I have no objection to her taking charge of the household affairs."

Ye Beichen nodded, then added, "If Xiao Xuan has children in the future, Yao'er, you must take good care of them."

This is a euphemistic way of putting it, but the meaning is very direct.

Ye Yao can manage the business, but the roots of the Ye family will ultimately fall on Ye Xuan's descendants.

Ye Yao didn't hesitate and nodded, which was considered an agreement.

Ye Beichen then turned to Ye Sicheng and said, "Second brother, stop making trouble out of nothing. This matter ends here."

Ye Sicheng replied, "I understand."

……

After leaving the old mansion, Ye Xuan went directly to a private club.

He pushed open the door and went in. Honda Yuji was sitting in the private room, with two young women sitting on either side of him, dressed very scantily.

The private room was dimly lit, and several bottles of foreign liquor were placed on the coffee table.

When Honda Yuji saw Ye Xuan enter, he waved enthusiastically: "Young Master Ye, come and sit down. The girls here are quite nice. This one is for you."

As he spoke, he pushed the woman to his left toward Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuanze said, "Honda-kun, let them go out first. I have something to say to you."

Honda Yuji waved his hand, and the four women tactfully stood up and swayed out of the private room.

"Young Master Ye, what is it? Please speak."

Ye Xuan sat down opposite him and said, "Honda-kun, I know you've always wanted to take over Tengfei. I can help you, but I have one condition."

Honda Yuji immediately became interested: "Young Master Ye, please speak."

Ye Xuan stared into his eyes and said, word by word, "You will marry my sister."

Honda Yuji paused, his wine glass hovering in mid-air. He looked up at Ye Xuan with an incredulous expression, as if confirming he hadn't misheard: "Young Master Ye, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Ye Xuan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "As long as you marry Ye Yao and let her leave China, once I take over Tengfei, we can cooperate deeply. I can give you anything you want."

This time, Yuji Honda understood.

He put down his wine glass, leaned back, and tapped his fingers lightly twice on the sofa armrest.

He had seen Ye Yao before, and just thinking about her face and figure made him unconsciously lick his lips.

"Young Master Ye, if I may be so bold as to ask, why did you do this?"

"You don't need to worry about that. I have my own plans. This is the only condition if you want to cooperate with Tengfei."

"But your older sister, Ye Yao, isn't so easy to win over. She's not the kind of woman who can be easily swayed by a few sweet words."

"I will help you. If Tengfei encounters any trouble, and only you can solve it, then it will be perfectly reasonable for you to make your demands, right?"

Honda Yuji's eyes lit up immediately.

He picked up his glass again and raised it to Ye Xuan: "Come on, let's drink to becoming a family."

After drinking the "family-themed drink," Honda Yuji clapped his hands, and the two or four beautiful women who had just left swayed back in.

The two embraced each other, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The next morning, Ye Sicheng walked into the office and signed two documents.

The first order is to lift the ban on Su Fan.

The second announcement stated that Tengfei Group withdrew its investment from the Maweiyi project.

The messages were sent out simultaneously, leaving people in the industry somewhat confused.

These people were all prepared to watch the show, but it ended up like this, which is really hard to understand.

To say that Tengfei Group is afraid of Su Fan is pure nonsense to them.

However, it was soon clear to some that Qu Feiming was Su Fan's master, and the result must have been due to his mediation.

After learning about this, Ye Yao went directly to Ye Sicheng.

"Isn't what we're doing really unfair?"

Ye Sicheng replied, "I've already done more than enough by not banning him. What more do you want?"

Ye Yao suppressed her emotions and tried her best to make her voice sound organized: "But if we withdraw our investment, other companies will follow suit, and then the Mawei Post Station project..."

"We can't control what others do," Ye Sicheng interrupted her. "Don't worry, if that project fails, we can always go back and cover for it. Overall, the plan is pretty good, but the prerequisite is that Su Fan has to be eliminated."

"This is a case of a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest."

Ye Sicheng did not deny it: "So what? He caused such a big commotion, he has to make some compensation."

Ye Yao had no way to change Ye Sicheng's decision.

In fact, to some extent, she knew that this approach was not wrong.

But inexplicably, she wanted to stand on Su Fan's side.

The news spread quickly. Within half a day, the news of Tengfei Group's withdrawal of investment had spread in the industry, and those investors who had previously been eager to invest began to waver.

Some people are worried that the conflict between Tengfei and Su Fan will affect them.

Some people sensed the unfavorable trend and wanted to cut their losses in time.

Some people are simply following the trend; if others withdraw, I withdraw too.

On the financing platform, the amount of funds raised for the Mawei Post Station project began to drop.

Five hundred thousand, one million, two million...

Someone in the comments section asked, "What happened?"

No one answered.

Those influential figures who previously posted screenshots of their pre-sale registrations have quietly deleted their posts.

When the news reached Lijiapo, Pan Lei was at the village committee discussing the route of the drainage pipeline with the construction team.

Lin Shan handed him her phone, and after glancing at it, his expression immediately changed.

He put down the blueprints in his hand, walked outside into the yard, lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and then put it out.

He picked up his phone to call Su Fan, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down.

He didn't know what to say.

They said the money is gone?

Is the project in jeopardy?

What good would it do to say it?

But he still called Su Fan.

Upon hearing this, Su Fan said, "Uncle Pan, don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Hearing this made Pan Lei feel much more at ease.

In fact, Su Fan had already anticipated this.

He also had a solution.

In the past two days, he has made plans for the money in his hands.

He had saved a sum of money separately at the orphanage.

He also left a copy on Longhu Mountain.

There was another copy he prepared for Mawei Post Station.

The reason he still cares about Mawei Post Station is, frankly, because it's all related to him to some extent.

Besides, the villagers treated him well, and he didn't want to quit.

Furthermore, Su Fan had already made up his mind that if things didn't go his way, he was prepared to run away.

Then, we'll find another place to confront the Ye family head-on.

As the saying goes, when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

Su Fan must resolutely implement the sixteen-character policy.
