Chapter 327 - Somewhat Moved

Ye Fan shook his head lightly.

Shen Yan sighed regretfully.

Ye Fan sincerely said, “Yanyan, I’m touched by your concern for me, but let me be clear, I cannot pursue a career in the music and entertainment industry.

So, please don’t try to convince me anymore, okay?”

Shen Yan looked into Ye Fan’s deep, sea-like eyes, reading his unwavering determination, and could only nod.

“It’s truly a pity.

The Chinese music scene, and even the world music scene, will lose a genius,” Shen Yan said.

Since she understood Ye Fan’s resolve, Shen Yan no longer tried to persuade him.

Afterwards, they chatted casually, both laughing and enjoying themselves.

After one o’clock, having finished their meal, Ye Fan left the Yunhua Hotel and drove back to Emali Group.

In the afternoon, around three, Ye Fan received a call from Hu Jing.

She said she had urgent work that night and couldn’t have dinner with him, asking to push their plans back.

Ye Fan, of course, agreed without any issue.

The next afternoon, Li Zhaojun called Ye Fan into her office to inquire about his progress in memorizing the materials.

“I’ve basically memorized them,” Ye Fan said indifferently.

Hearing Ye Fan say this, Li Zhaojun was somewhat skeptical.

She had given him quite a bit of material, a total of twelve pages.

Given Ye Fan’s laidback nature, she would have been satisfied if he had managed to go through the material even once.

Seeing Li Zhaojun’s doubtful gaze, Ye Fan said, “If you don’t believe me, feel free to test me with a few questions, and you’ll know.”

“Who is Zhou Kun?” Li Zhaojun didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Ye Fan immediately answered, “Zhou Kun is the chairman of Xinyang Group, fifty-one years old.

Xinyang Group’s main business is manufacturing photovoltaic panels.

He himself started as a technician and is a technically oriented boss.”

“And Liu Jiaming?” Li Zhaojun asked again.

“Liu Jiaming is the owner of Changfa Real Estate Co., Ltd., forty-four years old.

He has developed the comparatively successful Shengshi Jiangnan residential community and is rumored to have many connections within the municipal government.

Details of his rise to success are unclear,” Ye Fan said.

Li Zhaojun asked, “Who is Zhao Tianya?”

Suddenly hearing the name Zhao Tianya, a strange expression flashed across Ye Fan’s face.

Seeing that Ye Fan did not immediately answer, Li Zhaojun thought Ye Fan couldn’t remember and said, “Managing to correctly provide the backgrounds of two people is acceptable, which shows that you haven’t been negligent.”

Since Li Zhaojun said so, Ye Fan didn’t bother to mention Zhao Tianya’s information.

“The party officially starts at eight o’clock.

You’re allowed to leave work an hour early, have dinner, take a shower, and wear some formal clothes, then drive to the gate of Yulin Bay Community by seven to meet me.

Lastly, you will drive my car, and we’ll go to Yun Qi Club together,” Li Zhaojun instructed.

Ye Fan responded, “Understood.”

After speaking, Ye Fan stood up, ready to leave.

Suddenly, Li Zhaojun called out, “Ye Fan.”

Ye Fan stopped, turned around, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“The party tonight has gathered most of the important figures in the business circles of Hua Hai City.

I hope you will take it seriously, as it will benefit your future,” Li Zhaojun said with an uncharacteristically gentle tone.

Ye Fan chuckled and replied, “Understood.

However, I don’t plan to enter the business world.”

After speaking, Ye Fan turned and left the office.

Li Zhaojun watched Ye Fan’s retreating figure and suddenly remembered that although Ye Fan did not amount to much in her eyes, he was indeed the direct heir of the third generation of the Ye family.

Ye Fan’s father was one of the most important core figures in the Ye family with a high position, considerable power, and a limitless future.

Therefore, Ye Fan had many paths to choose from, unlike her, who was marginalized by the Li family and had to fend for herself in business.

At seven in the evening, Ye Fan drove on time to the gate of the Imperial Garden Villas.

After finding a parking spot and parking the car, Ye Fan took out his phone and called Li Zhaojun.

A few minutes later, a red Maserati Presidentiale drove out from the villa complex, and Ye Fan exited his car and walked over.

After the Maserati Presidentiale stopped by the roadside outside the complex gate, Li Zhaojun stood up from inside the car.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but scan Li Zhaojun from head to toe, noticing she was dressed in an elegant, simple, and exquisite off-white evening gown, wearing high heels, her long hair swept up in a graceful bun, exuding a goddess-like nobility and breathtaking beauty that seemed otherworldly.

“She truly is the most beautiful woman in Hua Hai City.

Normally her OL suits give her tremendous appeal but seeing her in evening wear reveals an even more indescribably stunning beauty,” thought Ye Fan to himself.

While Ye Fan was taking in Li Zhaojun’s appearance, she was sizing him up too.

Ye Fan had dressed formally as she had requested, but no matter how she looked at him, he did not resemble an executive assistant but rather a personal bodyguard.

“If he looks like a bodyguard, then so be it,” Li Zhaojun thought, realizing she had set her expectations for Ye Fan very low.

As Ye Fan approached, Li Zhaojun said expressionlessly, “Get in the car, let’s go.”

After she spoke, she walked to the other side of the Maserati, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.

Ye Fan settled into the driver’s seat, buckled up, ignited the engine, and as he prepared to start the car, Li Zhaojun asked, “Do you know how to get to the Yun Qi Club?”

“I do,” Ye Fan replied faintly, starting the car and driving toward the Yun Qi Club.

The formal business summit party at Yun Qi Club would start in about an hour, and it took roughly half an hour from Imperial Garden Villas to the club, leaving plenty of time, even a bit early.

Therefore, Ye Fan drove at a slightly leisurely pace.

After five or six minutes of silence in the car, Li Zhaojun took the initiative to speak, “Ye Fan, stop the attacks on the Tongyi Group.

There’s no need to waste so many resources on this.”

She thought that Ye Fan was using the Ye family’s power to attack the Tongyi Group.

Although Ye Fan was one of the main inheritors of the third generation of the Ye family, because of his prodigal nature, she guessed that the resources at his disposal wouldn’t be substantial.

She estimated that after this round of attacks on the Tongyi Group, Ye Fan wouldn’t be able to utilize much of his resources over the next two or three years.

“If I start something, I finish it,” Ye Fan said indifferently, “Hesitation and sparing effort won’t lead to great achievements.”

Li Zhaojun was slightly surprised by his harsh standpoint but then remembered that Ye Fan was still part of the Ye family, and these words were probably what his elders preached to him regularly.

Thus, she felt relieved.

“Alright,” said Li Zhaojun, “So you plan to bankrupt the Tongyi Group?”

“Exactly,” Ye Fan replied.

Considering the immense resources required to bring down a major conglomerate with assets worth tens of billions, Li Zhaojun couldn’t estimate the exact cost, but it was sure to be enormous.

“The sacrifices he’s making for my sake must have required great efforts from his family,” she thought and suddenly felt moved.

She pondered silently, “Indeed, he has many shortcomings, but even in the prospect of our divorce, he still spares no effort to help me, showing that he does possess responsibility at his core.”
