Wang Wenwen watched Ye Yun nervously as she spoke.
How could she not see that Ye Yun was deliberately keeping his distance from her?
But when you like someone, how can you give up so easily?
In fact, Ye Yun was even the first man she had ever kissed.
Ye Yun that night was like the hero described by Zixia Fairy, perfect and flawless!
Next Friday…
Would he go?
Ye Yun was stunned.
Seeing Ye Yun’s dazed look, Wang Wenwen tried to calm herself and said, "It's just a few good friends, Shi You, Yun Fan, they're all coming, at Tianxiang Pavilion. If you have nothing else to do, come and hang out, you can bring your wife too."
Seeing the beauty's earnest plea, Ye Yun could only say with a heavy heart, "I have something else next Friday, I won't have time. Have fun without me. Happy early birthday."
"Okay…" Wang Wenwen bit her lip tightly, her expression darkening.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Ye Yun hastily excused himself and chose to leave.
In the room, Wang Hailin watched Wang Wenwen’s disappointed expression and sighed.
"Wenwen, Mr. Ye is already married…"
How could he not see his daughter's feelings?
But with regard to his daughter's relationship, Wang Hailin knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
"Wang Hailin, what's it to you? No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!" As if wanting to vent her anger on Wang Hailin, Wang Wenwen shouted.
Then, she lost the desire to argue with him and stormed out.
Only Wang Hailin's sigh remained in the room.
…
When Ye Yun returned home, he had to admit that Wang Hailin's side had acted quickly.
Several suppliers had already contacted Ye Yun, stating that they would follow his arrangements.
Ye Yun also instructed them to stock up quickly and to find ways to delay the supply of raw materials to Pfizer.
The next morning, around eleven o'clock, Zhang Han called to ask Ye Yun how he had managed it.
Pfizer was having trouble with many of its raw material supplies, and the top management had an emergency meeting. Many executives expressed dissatisfaction with Smith, believing that he was incompetent.
At the same time, Zhang Han mentioned that he had also consulted several lawyers.
However, as Ye Yun had predicted, those lawyers, upon learning that they would be going against Pfizer and understanding the entire situation, directly declined Zhang Han's request.
The reason was simple: Pfizer had a strong influence in the local area, and helping Zhang Han would mean opposing many people in the upper echelons of society.
This would be a significant challenge for the lawyers' future careers.
Lawyers did not always represent justice; their role was clearly defined as a profession.
Even someone morally corrupt and breaking the law would have a lawyer to defend them.
Zhang Han sincerely apologized to Ye Yun for this. After all, he had caused such a big mess before even becoming a formal employee, and any boss would not accept it.
Therefore, forcing the other party to yield through legal means was out of the question.
In this regard, the gap between ordinary people and truly large corporations was evident.
The status that ordinary people could achieve through a lifetime of hard work was not even comparable to the influence brought by people from large corporations, even if Smith hadn't contacted those lawyers.
There was a popular saying online: "How can the efforts of three generations of ancestors lose to your ten years of diligent study?" This was essentially what it meant.
Ye Yun naturally understood this.
Therefore, even though his current assets were enough for him to be financially independent and live a happy life with his family for the rest of his life,
He still had to continue working hard to restore the glory of Yaoke Group.
He didn't care about the difficulties others encountered. He only wanted his wife and daughter to be able to say with confidence when they faced any setbacks:
"My dad is Ye Yun!"
With such confidence, they could be as formidable as "Nanshan Bishengke" or as unyielding as "Guizhou Undaeul."
And Ye Yun wanted to create someone who was invincible in China.
Of course, these were all things for later.
In the afternoon, a message arrived from Zhang Han.
"Mr. Ye, Smith has informed us to go to Pfizer for a face-to-face meeting."
Seeing that the other party wanted to meet him, Ye Yun smiled.
Was their strategy working, and they intended to compromise?
That would save a lot of effort, which would be best.
Ye Yun arrived at Pfizer on time and soon met Zhang Han at the entrance.
Clearly, Smith had informed them in advance, and the two were immediately led to the meeting room they had used before.
Upon entering the meeting room, Smith's expression was almost the same as yesterday.
The same hypocritical smile.
Appearing naive yet revealing a hint of cunning.
Li Ming still stood beside him.
Seeing the two enter, Smith scrutinized them carefully this time, especially Ye Yun, and said,
"Young man, your methods are quite clever."
"Let's get to the point. My time is valuable," Ye Yun said directly, not wanting to waste time with the other party.
Smith put on his signature naive smile and said,
"You're quite impatient. Young people need to be calm, otherwise, you'll suffer greatly."
Zhang Han's veins bulged, clearly understanding that the other party was implying something. However, Ye Yun shook his head at him. The most important thing at this moment was to remain calm, otherwise, they would be more likely to fall into the other party's trap.
Smith smiled and said, "Alright, let's talk business. Zhang Han signed the contract himself. I don't want to be accused of being heartless by Pfizer. I can give you a 20% discount on this amount. How about this: if you pay me 100 million yuan, I can pretend this never happened and won't hinder you. What do you say?"
Ye Yun looked at Smith calmly and asked, "Should I thank you then?"
"If you want to express gratitude, I will gladly accept it," Smith replied calmly. "However, I want to tell you, young man, don't engage in such underhanded tactics. In my eyes, what you've done is as laughable as children playing house. Pfizer has many suppliers. In this day and age, as long as you have money, you can be a big shot anywhere. If you think simply contacting a few suppliers can cause Pfizer to be in disarray, then you're too naive."
"I called you here today not to negotiate, but to inform you. When doing things or doing business, one must be extremely cautious. The pit that Zhang Han fell into this time is just a lesson for you."
"You'd better remember this lesson, because not everyone in this society is as easy to talk to as I am."
Ye Yun looked at Smith without a word. After a long pause, he finally spoke.
"Now I realize that indeed, one should not underestimate anyone. You, Smith, have a benevolent appearance, and Pfizer is a Fortune Global 500 company, seemingly a symbol of righteousness. However, when it comes to playing dirty tricks and being shameless, it's truly unbearable for ordinary people."
"This time, we have learned a lesson, and we know that from now on, no matter what we do, especially when signing documents, we must be careful. We must never fall into someone else's trap. Especially certain despicable individuals."
"Watch your attitude when speaking to Mr. Smith!" Li Ming, standing beside him, shouted angrily!
Smith slightly raised his hand, stopping Li Ming's outburst, and smiled.
"Young man, don't be so impetuous. Didn't I just tell you not to be hasty and to be calm? Do you know that the words you've spoken could bring you an enemy you can't even imagine?"
