A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chongguang asked, "How did it go?"

Jiang Wenli said, "That kid is very shrewd. He acknowledges the Ye family's bloodline, but he has no intention of using the Ye family's influence or interfering in the Ye family's business."

He paused, then added, "At least for now, that's what he thinks."

Lin Chongguang looked up at him: "You don't believe him?"

Jiang Wenli shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe it. Although that kid is usually a bit unserious, when it comes to serious matters, he's more clear-headed than anyone else. I just feel that people don't live in a vacuum. Some relationships can't be completely severed just by saying you're unaffected. Before, he had no connection with the Ye family, so he could do whatever he wanted. Now it's different. The Ye family is his blood relatives. If something happens to the Ye family, can he just stand by and do nothing? Take Tengfei Group for example. Right now, the Ye family is being watched by those bastards. If something really happens to Tengfei, do you think he'll just stand by and do nothing?"

Lin Chongguang did not answer immediately.

Jiang Wenli's concerns are not unfounded.

Su Fan, on the surface, is always laughing and joking.

But in reality, he is a person who values ​​relationships very much.

This can be seen from the things he did before.

Moreover, given Zhang Lingyuan's discernment and temperament, he wouldn't have taken him under his wing otherwise.

Now that it has been confirmed that the Ye family are his blood relatives.

Therefore, when the Ye family is truly in danger, he will absolutely not stand aside.

After a moment of silence, Lin Chongguang slowly said, "It's a good thing that he won't stand idly by. If someone can be indifferent to the life and death of their own parents and blood relatives, no matter how capable they are, would you dare to employ them?"

Jiang Wenli nodded: "That's true."

Lin Chongguang continued, "Being sentimental is his character. However, whether he will be drawn into the Ye family's interests because of this sentiment is another matter. These two things cannot be confused. The Ye family itself has no problems. Old Master Ye is a person who has come through that era step by step. His stance and character can withstand the test. Ye Wangcheng has not made any fundamental mistakes over the years. Therefore, Su Fan's recognition of the Ye family is not a bad thing. On the contrary, with the Ye family protecting him, some things that are inconvenient for us to handle will be easier to deal with. However, the Ye family can be his shield, but it cannot be the rope that binds him."

Jiang Wenli understood his meaning: "Are you worried that the Ye family will groom him as their heir?"

"It's not that I'm worried, it's that it's highly likely. The Ye family has owed him for over twenty years. Now that they've finally found him, they want to give him the best of everything. A courtyard house can be transferred to his name without any further discussion. It wouldn't be surprising if they handed over the Tengfei Group to him in the future. Besides, that kid really does have the ability."

Jiang Wenli agreed wholeheartedly: "With his abilities, if he were to take over Tengfei, he might actually be able to lead Tengfei to a new level."

"Whether he has the ability or not has never been the issue. The issue is whether he should spend his time and energy on Tengfei Group. You and I both know how complicated the relationships are within Tengfei. There are collateral branches, shareholders, management, and various capital groups, all intertwined. Once Su Fanzhen sits in that position, even if he doesn't want to compete, someone will push him to. Even if he doesn't want to take sides, someone will categorize him as one side. At that point, every decision he makes will no longer represent just himself. The interests of so many shareholders of Tengfei, the livelihoods of tens of thousands of employees, and the rise and fall of the entire Ye family will all weigh on his shoulders. His first consideration will inevitably be whether the group can make a profit and whether the Ye family's interests will be harmed. This is not to say that he will change or that he cannot stay true to himself, but that sitting in that position, some choices are not up to him to make based solely on his own conscience."

Jiang Wenli seemed to be deep in thought.

He understood that what Lin Chongguang was really worried about was not that Su Fan would be corrupted by money, nor that he would suddenly change his stance because he recognized the Ye family.

What we really need to be wary of is the change in identity.

A person's thoughts may not change easily.

But when he takes on different positions and shoulders different responsibilities, his way of looking at problems will inevitably change.

As the saying goes, your perspective is determined by where you sit.

Often, it's not that people's hearts have changed, but rather that their position itself has already defined the boundaries of their choices.

If things really come to that, even if Su Fan's original intentions remain unchanged, he will inevitably be swayed by the interests of Tengfei Group.

And this is precisely what will cause him to deviate from their initial expectations of him.

After all, compared to what they wanted Su Fan to do, the Tengfei Group was really nothing.

No matter how large the Tengfei Group is, it can only influence one industry at most.

However, the abilities that Su Fan has demonstrated have the potential to influence even more people.

It can even influence the cultural trends of an era.

Allowing such a person to be trapped in the endless power struggles and daily operations within the group would truly be putting the cart before the horse.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenli asked, "Should we give the Ye family a heads-up beforehand?"

Lin Chongguang nodded: "Yes, call Ye Wangcheng over. We need to talk to him about this first."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

……

That afternoon, Ye Wangcheng received a notification and was taken to the military region.

To be honest, he felt somewhat uneasy the whole way.

The notification came suddenly, and the other party did not explain the reason, only saying that someone wanted to see him.

On the way, Ye Wangcheng went through everything he had done over the years, making sure that he hadn't done anything out of line, whether in his work or his lifestyle, before he finally felt a little relieved.

But when the car passed through a series of checkpoints and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous little building, his heart, which had just settled down, started racing again.

The staff led him into the building.

My phone and all my personal belongings were left outside.

He was then led to a windowless, confidential interview room.

Seeing this, Ye Wangcheng felt increasingly uncertain.

Jiang Wenli was waiting for him at the door.

Ye Wangcheng stepped forward: "Director Jiang, is there something important that you suddenly called me here?"

"Let's go inside first and talk about it."

Jiang Wenli didn't talk much at the door, but pushed open the door and led him inside.

Upon seeing Lin Chongguang sitting inside, Ye Wangcheng straightened up and stepped forward to greet him, "Old Lin."

"Have a seat," Lin Chongguang said, pointing to the chair opposite him.

After Ye Wangcheng sat down, Jiang Wenli closed the door and sat down beside him.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Ye Wangcheng felt increasingly uneasy.

In such a place, with such a large entourage, it was clearly not just a casual chat with him.

Lin Chongguang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I heard that Su Fan is your biological son?"

Ye Wangcheng was slightly taken aback.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that the other party would call him here and ask about Su Fan.

Although the Ye family did not deliberately publicize this matter, they did not expect to keep it a secret forever.

However, he didn't understand why Lin Chongguang took this matter so seriously.

They even summoned him to the military region.

Ye Wangcheng suppressed his doubts and nodded, saying, "It was confirmed recently. The paternity test has also been done."

"Could you tell me the specifics of what happened?"

So Ye Wangcheng recounted how his child had been switched with another child years ago, and how Ye Xuan had taken over the family for more than twenty years.

He did not elaborate on some details involving the Ye family's scandals.

However, even just the general outline of what happened is enough to make people feel that it is bizarre.

After listening, Jiang Wenli couldn't help but sigh, "If this kind of thing were in a TV series, the audience would criticize the screenwriter for making things up. I never thought that your Ye family would actually encounter such a thing."

Ye Wangcheng gave a bitter smile: "Who can argue with that? Our own child has suffered for over twenty years outside, while we, as parents, have raised the son of our enemy by our side and treated him like our own flesh and blood, loving him for over twenty years. Every time I think about this, I don't know how to face Xiao Fan."

Lin Chongguang said, "You were unaware of what happened back then. Since it has already happened, you can't take all the blame on yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, leader."

Lin Chongguang didn't continue to offer comfort, but instead asked, "What are the Ye family's plans for Su Fan next?"

"arrange?"

"For example, let him join Tengfei Group, or gradually take over the Ye family's businesses."
