"What is it?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I spoke with my mother, and I've decided that our Dongfang family and Tiansheng Group should strengthen our cooperation. It would be very beneficial for both sides!" Dongfang Mei said.
"You should talk to my mother about this. Why come to me?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I did go to see Auntie, and she said that I needed your agreement for this matter!"
Dongfang Mei stated, "I was a bit puzzled. This is a good thing for Tiansheng Group, yet she seemed not to care much about it!"
Jiang Yi shrugged.
His mother wasn't unconcerned; she simply didn't want to interfere in the matters between him and Dongfang Mei.
"Are you this proactive because you have some ulterior motive?" Jiang Yi asked warily.
"Of course, I have a motive!"
Dongfang Mei replied, "Our two families are essentially one. We should cooperate more, face hardships together. Furthermore, only through our cooperation can we stand firm in the business world! This is not just my idea, but also my mother's. She agrees wholeheartedly and is just waiting for your reply!"
"Do as you see fit!"
Jiang Yi said.
"Alright, if that's the case, then this matter is decided. I'll take care of it when I get back tomorrow!" Dongfang Mei said.
"Tomorrow?" Jiang Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
"That's right, tomorrow!"
Dongfang Mei explained, "I have to stay today and spend some good time with you. We are boyfriend and girlfriend. If I stay away from you for too long, our feelings might grow distant."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a touch of helplessness.
From Dongfang Mei's tone, it seemed she intended to cling to him.
"I don't need you to stay and accompany me. You have more important things to do right now. We must prioritize the important matters!"
Jiang Yi told Dongfang Mei, "I'm not going anywhere, so what are you afraid of?"
"That's true. In that case, I'll leave now. I'll come to see you again another day. I have a very important matter to attend to right now!" Sudan Novel Network
After speaking, Dongfang Mei bid farewell to Jiang Yi and left the villa.
After Dongfang Mei departed, Liang Liang could no longer contain himself and spoke to Jiang Yi, "I never expected that Tiansheng Group was owned by your family! You're incredibly wealthy! Even though my wife is a rich woman, she's nothing compared to you!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly upon hearing this.
"I'm not considered particularly wealthy!" Jiang Yi said.
"You run such a large company, and you still say you're not rich? If you're not rich, then we're worse off than beggars!" Liang Liang's face was filled with jealousy and envy.
After speaking, Liang Liang took a deep breath.
"Only now do I realize that I am truly the clown!" Liang Liang said with a sense of helplessness.
"Alright, I've agreed to help you with your matter! You've helped your wife immensely this time, and your days will be much better from now on!" Jiang Yi said to Liang Liang with a smile.
"I hope so,"
Liang Liang said with a bitter smile, "You live like an immortal, while I live like a pig or dog. We are worlds apart."
Liang Liang was overcome with emotion.
"Beep beep..."
Liang Liang's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Zhao Mei calling, he quickly answered.
After finishing the call, Liang Liang bid farewell to Jiang Yi and left the villa.
Watching Liang Liang's retreating figure, Jiang Yi didn't know what to say.
He had helped Liang Liang this time, but from now on, Liang Liang would have to rely on himself. Even though he had earned merit this time, his future days would undoubtedly be difficult.
Unless Liang Liang could consistently earn merit.
But that was impossible!
Liang Liang wasn't like him; he didn't possess such great capabilities.
Just then, Jiang Yi's phone rang.
He looked at it and saw it was Ye Yanran calling.
Jiang Yi directly hung up the phone.
Subsequently, Jiang Yi turned off his phone.
He felt that it was time to draw a line between himself and Ye Yanran. Since they were divorced, there was no need to maintain contact.
After leaving the villa, Jiang Yi drove to Wan Hui Company.
As soon as he entered the lobby, Qiu Fang's secretary came to find him.
"Manager Jiang, you need to come see the boss immediately. The boss has been throwing tantrums all morning!" the secretary said to Jiang Yi with a helpless tone.
"Why is the boss throwing a tantrum related to me?" Jiang Yi asked.
"The people under you haven't made any moves, while Manager Yang is continuously bribing assassins within the company. More and more people are now working for Manager Yang. If this continues, the entire company might be bought over by Manager Yang!" the secretary explained.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
It was he who had told Shi Jin and the others to hold off on making a move against Manager Yang for the time being.
His objective was simple: to force the company's big boss to reveal himself.
Once Qiu Fang lost control of the situation, the big boss would not stand idly by. He would surely step in to quell all internal unrest. At that point, Jiang Yi would be able to capture everyone in Wan Hui Company in one fell swoop.
"Let's go quickly!" the secretary urged.
Jiang Yi nodded and followed the secretary to Qiu Fang's main office.
Qiu Fang was pacing restlessly in his office. Upon seeing Jiang Yi arrive, he finally sat back down in his chair and stared at Jiang Yi, asking, "Why aren't your people continuing their actions and eliminating Manager Yang's men?"
"I dare not act anymore!"
Jiang Yi replied.
"Why?" Qiu Fang questioned.
"Manager Yang has people from the big boss working under him. If I act against Manager Yang's subordinates, it would be equivalent to opposing the big boss. I don't have the guts for that. But if I don't act, I can't complete the task you assigned. I'm in a dilemma!" Jiang Yi explained.
Hearing this, Qiu Fang's brows furrowed deeply.
"That's impossible! How could Manager Yang have people from the big boss under him?" Qiu Fang's face was full of confusion.
"Could it be that the big boss wants Manager Yang to replace you, boss?" the secretary interjected.
"Impossible!"
Qiu Fang stated directly, "If the big boss wanted to find someone to replace me, he wouldn't go through all this trouble. He could simply remove me from my position as boss. There's no need for such a roundabout way."
"Boss, should I continue to take action then?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Don't take action!"
Qiu Fang took a deep breath. "Until this matter is clarified, you must remain inactive. This is a matter of great importance. A single misstep could land us in serious trouble."
Jiang Yi chuckled inwardly.
From Qiu Fang's tone, it was evident that he greatly feared the big boss.
"Then I will refrain from taking action for now!"
Jiang Yi said, then asked Qiu Fang, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
"The situation is a bit complex right now. For the time being, you must keep a close eye on Manager Yang!" Qiu Fang instructed.
"Understood!"
Jiang Yi responded and then left the office.
On the corridor outside the office, as Jiang Yi was about to head downstairs, he happened to run into Young Master Qiu.
