"Why did you come?" Jiang Yi asked.
"I heard you and Manager He came to this teahouse just now. Seeing that you haven't returned for so long, I was worried you might get into trouble, so I came to check on you personally," Dongfang Mei said.
"What trouble could I get into?" Jiang Yi chuckled.
"You can't be careless. Although your skills are good, there's a saying: it's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. It's better to be cautious!" Dongfang Mei said with a grave expression.
Jiang Yi nodded.
"By the way, what happened just now? Why is the private room in such a mess?" Dongfang Mei asked.
Jiang Yi recounted the entire incident.
After listening, Dongfang Mei's brow furrowed.
"I can't believe Dongfang Xun has become Ye Yanran's lackey!" Dongfang Mei said indignantly.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
Dongfang Xun was beyond saving now.
"Fukang Electronics Factory is in the suburbs. It will take a few hours for Manager He to get back. Let's go home and wait!" Dongfang Mei suggested.
"Alright!"
Jiang Yi took out his phone and called Number 27, telling him to inform Manager He that he should bring the documents to the villa later.
After that, Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei returned to the villa.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Number 27 arrived at the villa with Manager He.
Jiang Yi and Dongfang Mei received Manager He in the hall.
Upon seeing Dongfang Mei, Manager He hurried to apologize.
Dongfang Mei did not make things difficult for Manager He and did not dwell on the matter.
After receiving the documents, Dongfang Mei went to the study to research them.
These documents were commercial secrets, and she was sure they could provide a way to deal with Ye Yanran.
Seeing Dongfang Mei leave, Manager He turned to Jiang Yi and said, "Chairman Jiang, I'd like to discuss something with you!"
"What is it?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Could your subordinate be my bodyguard?" Manager He asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Yi's brow furrowed slightly.
"Chairman Jiang, your subordinate's skills are truly astonishing. On my way back just now, I ran into over a dozen assassins, and I thought I was finished," Manager He said.
"Unexpectedly, your subordinate's skills were so impressive, he dealt with those assassins in just a few moves. If he could be my bodyguard, I wouldn't have to worry about my safety!"
"In that case, let him be your bodyguard temporarily and protect your safety!" Jiang Yi agreed.
"Thank you, Chairman Jiang!" Manager He said gratefully.
He had only approached with a tentative attitude, as he thought Jiang Yi wouldn't allow his subordinate to be his bodyguard.
To his surprise, Jiang Yi readily agreed!
The reason Jiang Yi agreed was simple.
Manager He was not a good person and could betray him for profit at any time.
Having Number 27 act as his bodyguard would allow him to monitor him.
"Chairman Jiang, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. I'll visit again another day!" Manager He said, standing up.
"Safe travels!" Jiang Yi replied.
After greeting Jiang Yi, Manager He left the villa.
Number 27 followed him.
Without Jiang Yi's instructions, Number 27 knew what to do.
Just then, Li Ping, Dong Rui, Shen Lu, and Chen Kun returned!
Xiao Xin also returned with them.
Xiao Xin had been helping out at Tiansheng Group during this period.
"Brother..." Xiao Xin greeted Jiang Yi with a smile.
"Mmm!" Jiang Yi responded, then glanced at Xiao Xin and said, "You've been helping out at Tiansheng Group during this time. You've worked hard!"
"I haven't worked hard. Mom and Sister Shen have worked hard," Xiao Xin replied.
"You don't need to worry about her," Li Ping said to Jiang Yi. "The work I've assigned her is all simple. However, I plan to increase her workload in the future. Only then can she learn more in the company and have the ability to help us manage it well in the future."
"Actually, I can help you a lot now, but you don't believe me," Xiao Xin pouted.
"It's not that we don't believe you, but we want you to gain more experience. Your brother has no interest in managing the company, and Tiansheng Group will eventually have to be handed over to you. If you don't build a solid foundation now, how will you be capable of managing such a large company in the future?" Li Ping said dotingly to Xiao Xin.
"I definitely won't disappoint you!" Xiao Xin said with a smile.
Everyone was tired after a day of work and retired to their rooms to rest.
Xiao Xin didn't rest; she wanted to talk to Jiang Yi.
"Brother, do you know how miserable Ye Yanran is?" Xiao Xin asked Jiang Yi.
"How miserable?" Jiang Yi inquired.
"Ye Yanran had been causing trouble for our company. Our company counterattacked Ye Yanran Pharmaceutical Company by trial-selling the new drugs you developed. Guess what happened?" Xiao Xin began.
"All the new drugs our company produced were sold out, and we also signed hundreds of orders with many clients. These orders account for the majority of the market share in the pharmaceutical industry. Our group's pharmaceutical factories are almost overwhelmed!"
"Does that have anything to do with Ye Yanran?" Jiang Yi asked deliberately.
"Of course, it does. The market share is limited, and now the majority of the market share has fallen into the hands of our Tiansheng Group. Ye Yanran Pharmaceutical Company's drugs simply can't be sold!"
"Even if she lowers the price, no one buys them. This month, Ye Yanran's pharmaceutical company has incurred a huge loss, at least over five billion," Xiao Xin said.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this.
Five billion was not a small amount for Ye Yanran's pharmaceutical company. After all, her pharmaceutical company was newly established, and instead of making money, it had lost so much.
Losing five billion in a single month, Ye Yanran wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Even with her paternal uncle's support, he couldn't give her five billion every month to cover her losses.
"Ye Yanran's company is bound to fail!" Xiao Xin said smugly.
"Ye Yanran will definitely find a way to persevere. She still has the Xiao family. She is the head of the Xiao family. As long as the Xiao family doesn't collapse, Ye Yanran will still have a chance to cause trouble," Jiang Yi said.
"That's easy, just destroy the Xiao family!" Xiao Xin said.
"Things are not as simple as you think!" Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
"Although Tiansheng Group is continuously developing and growing, destroying the Xiao family would also come at a considerable cost to Tiansheng Group. The wisest choice would be to eliminate the Xiao family without bringing any losses to Tiansheng Group."
Xiao Xin nodded.
Xiao Xin was a bit sleepy and yawned before returning to her room.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath.
Xiao Xin was still inexperienced in many areas and needed further training.
