Liu Tianyu had been pursuing Ye Yanran for a long time but still hadn't won her heart. He no longer wished to pretend and decided to drop all pretense with Ye Yanran.
The situation had escalated to this point, and Liu Tianyu could only blame his own foolishness.
No one would be so foolish as to abandon all pretense with the person they admired in front of everyone.
It was likely only Liu Tianyu who could do something like this.
Liu Tianyu's defeat in this farce was utterly pathetic.
After Liu Tianyu's anger subsided, he was filled with regret. He immediately abandoned his previous fury, looked at Ye Yanran with tenderness, and said, "Yanran, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like this. It was my fault. I apologize to you."
Ye Yanran paid no attention to Liu Tianyu.
"Yanran, I truly like you. I lost my temper just now because I like you too much and couldn't control my emotions," Liu Tianyu continued to explain.
Ye Yanran remained as cold as ever.
She exuded an aura that deterred anyone from approaching.
"Yanran, you can't treat me like this!" Liu Tianyu exclaimed, full of unwillingness.
Then, Liu Tianyu reached out to grab Ye Yanran. "I know you have feelings for me. When I was hospitalized last time, you cared for me so much and visited me in the hospital every day."
"Stop!"
Ye He stood up from his chair, his gaze fixed on Liu Tianyu. "Young Master Liu, you'd better stay away from Yanran. This is Tiansheng Group, not a place for you to run wild."
After speaking, Ye He sneered, "Your nerve is truly thick. Yanran has already told you to get lost, yet you're still clinging to her. Go back and take a look at yourself in the mirror to see if you're even qualified to like Yanran."
These words infuriated Liu Tianyu, turning his face green.
"The one surnamed Ye, this is between Yanran and me. What right do you have to interfere?" Liu Tianyu said angrily.
"Have you forgotten that my surname is also Ye? If Yanran is being bullied, it's natural for me to step in."
Ye He said indifferently, "If you dare to bully Yanran again, our Ye family will not let you off."
Liu Tianyu's facial muscles twitched.
He hadn't expected the inner clan of the Ye family to step in and help Ye Yanran.
The strength of the Ye family's inner clan was not inferior to their Liu family, and this was Tiansheng Group. If the situation escalated, he, Liu Tianyu, would not only be finished but would likely implicate the entire Liu family.
If that happened, Liu Yong would surely beat him to death.
Liu Tianyu could only back down and sit back in his chair with a look of unwillingness.
"Thank you, Uncle Ye!"
Ye Yanran thanked Ye He.
Ye Yanran knew that Ye He was helping her to curry favor with Jiang Yi, but she still expressed her gratitude.
"Yanran, you're too polite! We are family. It's only right for me to help you out. Family members should help each other," Ye He said with a smile.
Ye Yanran offered a professional smile.
"Yanran, just call me Uncle. Why add the surname Ye? It makes us seem distant! Do you think I'm not worthy of being your uncle?" Ye He asked.
"I didn't mean that," Ye Yanran quickly replied.
"Alright, I was just joking. From now on, call me Uncle, and you're not allowed to add the surname Ye anymore," Ye He said with a smile.
"Mm!"
Ye Yanran responded with a smile.
In fact, Ye Yanran understood that Ye He was treating her so well because of Jiang Yi.
If it were in the past, the inner clan Ye family would never have paid attention to her. Sudan Novel Network
Take the incident just now, for example. Ye He would not only have failed to help her but might have even mocked her.
Just then, Dong Rui entered with a group of people from outside.
Seeing Dong Rui arrive, everyone turned their respectful gazes towards her.
The companies of these business magnates from Jiangcheng were nothing compared to Tiansheng Group. They had to be extremely careful and solicitous towards any leader from Tiansheng Group.
Moreover, Dong Rui was a senior leader of Tiansheng Group.
"A company has already been selected internally for this project," Dong Rui announced.
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened.
They all hoped their own company would win the bid.
Liu Tianyu and Ye He also looked expectant, their hearts pounding in their chests.
Only Ye Yanran remained calm, as she was well aware of her company's capabilities.
She knew that such a fortunate opportunity would never fall upon her.
"I announce that Miss Ye Yanran's company has won the bid," Dong Rui declared.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned!
The entire conference room fell silent, not a sound could be heard.
No one had expected that Ye Yanran's company would be the one to win the bid.
Ye Yanran sat in her chair as if she had gone numb, feeling as though she were dreaming.
After all, Ye Yanran's company was the weakest among all the companies, with a significant gap in strength.
No one could understand why this had happened.
After a long while, everyone finally came to their senses, their faces filled with confusion and unwillingness.
Ye Yanran also recovered, her expression calm, but her heart was overjoyed.
She had never dreamed that good luck would befall her.
"Manager Dong, we all know Miss Ye's company. It's a very weak company. Letting her company undertake such a large project is not the best choice at all. I truly don't understand why Miss Ye's company was chosen!" a middle-aged man asked Dong Rui with a frown.
"We are not convinced. You must give us a reasonable explanation."
Everyone began to chatter and argue.
Only Liu Tianyu and Ye He remained silent, their expressions complex.
"Presumptuous!"
Dong Rui shouted angrily, "This is Tiansheng Group, not a place for you to run wild. You have no right to question the decisions made by our group, nor do you have the qualifications to ask why."
Seeing Dong Rui's anger, everyone quickly fell silent, not daring to speak further.
They could not afford to offend Tiansheng Group.
"Except for Miss Ye, everyone else can leave now!" Dong Rui said coldly.
Dong Rui directly issued the order to leave.
Everyone was unwilling, but they could only leave dejectedly.
Whether they won the bid or not was secondary; offending Tiansheng Group would be tantamount to seeking their own demise.
With Tiansheng Group's power, they could crush them with a mere flick of a finger.
Soon, only Ye Yanran remained in the conference room.
"Miss Ye, congratulations on winning the bid," Dong Rui said to Ye Yanran with a smile.
"Thank you, Manager Dong. I will do my best to complete this order," Ye Yanran replied promptly.
"If you want to thank someone, you should thank our Chairman. It was our Chairman who gave this opportunity to your company. Otherwise, with your company's strength, there would be no chance at all," Dong Rui stated.
Ye Yanran was somewhat flattered upon hearing this!
She had not expected that the person helping her would be the Chairman of Tiansheng Group.
Soon, Ye Yanran's heart was filled with questions.
She didn't know the Chairman of Tiansheng Group at all. How could such an important figure help her?
