Ye Jianshe smirked ruefully and fell silent.
He knew his eldest niece’s personality well, understanding that such matters could not be persuaded.
“Second Brother, no matter what, we Ye Family must secure Director Yang’s support. It would be best to form a marital alliance, but if that is not possible, at the very least we should establish a strategic partnership,”
Ye Jingwen spoke up at this point.
Ye Jianye nodded slightly, sharing the same view as Ye Jingwen, “What do you suggest?”
“Since Shuyuan is unwilling to engage too deeply with Director Yang, why not let Wanyi or Qianqian give it a try!”
Ye Jingwen said with a chuckle.
There are six people among the third generation of the Ye Family, four women and two men.
Of the four girls, only Ye Shuting, Shuyuan’s sister, was married, leaving three singles.
Among them, Ye Wanyi is the daughter of Ye Jianye’s elder brother, Ye Jianguo. At 33, she holds an executive position in the family business, her mind almost entirely occupied with her career, and her personal issues remain unresolved.
Ye Qianqian is Ye Jianshe’s daughter, 24 years old, freshly returned from studying abroad, and not yet a part of the family business, saying she wants to start a business with friends.
The elders of the Ye Family have always been supportive of entrepreneurship, also providing a certain amount of initial funding. However, usually, this opportunity to start a business is only given twice; if both attempts fail, they are expected to join the family business in earnest.
“I think Qianqian is quite suitable,”
“Young and beautiful, and more open-minded after spending so much time abroad,”
Ye Shuyuan took over the conversation, then looked at her uncle Ye Jianshe with a hint of annoyance, as if to say, weren’t you persuading me to be Yang Hao’s main girl!
Now let’s see what you say when it’s your daughter’s turn.
“No problem, I’ll talk to Qianqian, but whether it’ll work out is another matter,”
“As you know, Qianqian has been abroad for quite a while and is quite set in her ways. She might not even listen to me!”
Ye Jianshe shrugged indifferently. He was quite open-minded about these matters and, far from feeling displeased, he even joked, “However, I just established a brotherhood with Yang just now. If Qianqian really ends up with him, won’t I become his father-in-law?”
Ye Jianshe scratched his head, then laughed, “Well, let’s keep to our own! “
“He’ll call me father-in-law, and I’ll call him Yang, that sounds pretty good to me!”
Ye Shuyuan’s mouth twitched, she had thought she could turn the tables, but it seemed she had still underestimated her wily and carefree uncle.
At that moment, the sound of a car engine roared in the yard, as a red Porsche 911 parked in the spot by the wall.
Following that, a woman wearing a black suit jacket and sporting brown, wavy hair stepped out of the car.
“It’s really the case of speaking of the devil, and he shall appear!”
Ye Jingwen remarked feelingly. They had just been discussing Yang Hao in the living room, and here he was.
She had just mentioned her brother’s daughter, Ye Wanyi, and now this very niece had arrived!
Ye Wanyi currently held a position in the Jinhua Group, belonging to the Ye family’s enterprise, serving as a senior vice president, the chief executive of both the East and North China regions.
She was one of Ye Jianye’s right-hand persons.
The major shareholder change at the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group was a big deal for the Ye Family. Other than informing his daughter, Ye Shuyuan, Ye Jianye had naturally also notified his niece.
Ye Wanyi, however, had been busy with work and arrived a bit late.
She made her way into the house with practiced ease, removing her Chanel sunglasses that covered most of her face, revealing a delicate visage.
Ye Wanyi, at 33, looked much younger than her age thanks to excellent self-care—a common trait among wealthy women who have achieved financial independence—making her appear nowhere near her thirties.
“Uncle Two, Uncle Three, Auntie…”
Ye Wanyi first greeted the three elders before explaining, “Work’s been piling up, so I’m a bit late!”
“Not late at all.”
“We were just talking about you!”
Ye Jingwen, holding her niece’s hand, said cheerfully.
“About me?”
“Wasn’t something big supposed to have happened?”
Ye Wanyi looked puzzled.
“Yes, indeed something big happened! ” Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
“Several shareholders of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group collectively sold their shares, and now there’s a new major shareholder with a 66% stake…”
Ye Jianye briefly recounted the situation concerning the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group.
Ye Wanyi listened intently. Although she did not work at Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group, she understood its importance to the Ye Family.
With such a significant change occurring, she was quite surprised.
“Is this major shareholder very assertive?”
Ye Wanyi asked, frowning.
“It doesn’t seem to be particularly strong at the moment, but we haven’t had much contact yet. How it really is will take time to tell,”
Ye Jingwen took up the conversation, and then asked, “You’ve seen the news these past two days, right? Know about that Director Yang from the Hushang Family?”
“Yeah, I’ve heard,”
Ye Wanyi nodded, puzzled as to why her aunt suddenly brought up gossip.
It was her habit to watch the news daily, mainly to understand current hot topics, which was essential for entrepreneurs as some of these could contain business opportunities.
The turmoil between Yang Hao and “Hucheng’s wealthiest second-generation rich kid” Qin Feng was widely known, and it would have been hard for Ye Wanyi to miss it.
However, she found the matter rather trivial, especially with the subsequent twist revealing Yang Hao as the owner of the Hushang Family. This inevitably led people to speculate about a publicity stunt.
But Ye Wanyi disdained such promotional tactics, thinking them rather unbecoming. It seemed beneath the dignity of someone worth several billion to resort to such schemes!
