“So you know what Director Yang looks like?” Ye Jingwen asked.
“I caught a glimpse of him in a video.”
Ye Wanyi was baffled by this line of questioning and asked directly, “Auntie, just say what you want!”
“He’s the major shareholder of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group!”
Ye Jingwen replied.
“Huh?”
“Isn’t he the boss of Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment?”
“To also be the major shareholder of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group… wouldn’t his net worth break a hundred billion then?”
Ye Wanyi’s mind raced.
Just the 66% shares of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group were worth around ninety billion, and adding Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment, breaking a hundred billion was certain.
“That’s right, it has broken a hundred billion!”
Ye Jingwen nodded, “So, we’re discussing a marriage alliance with him!”
“Er…”
Ye Wanyi raised her eyebrows, “Auntie, you mean to say you want me to marry him?”
“If it could happen, that would certainly be best!”
Ye Jingwen smiled and nodded.
“This…”
Ye Wanyi was somewhat speechless, “Auntie, isn’t this a bit far-fetched!”
“I’ve never even met him, and besides, with a net worth of a hundred billion, he’s certainly not lacking in women and might not even take a second glance at me!”
Ye Wanyi said while shaking her head, having never met Yang Hao but deducing from news reports that he was likely not a good person, his promotional tactics were so low!
Moreover, in the videos spread online, Yang Hao was not alone; he was always accompanied by the beautiful singer Zhou Ziqing.
So, he indeed had no shortage of women around him.
To a family of average means, a wealthy beauty like Ye Wanyi was very attractive, as landing her could mean reaching a life peak.
But for a super tycoon like Yang Hao, it was different.
He was in no need of money or the resources that Ye Wanyi could bring to the table.
Beautiful women weren’t a rarity to him, which meant that 33-year-old Ye Wanyi didn’t have strong competitive power in Yang Hao’s eyes.
Ye Wanyi knew this!
Successful male businessmen, when looking for their other half, typically wouldn’t choose a female businesswoman with a social status equal to their own.
It’s the same reason Dong and Mingzhu wouldn’t end up together.
“It’s not as if there’s no alternative.”
“Just give it a try, Wanyi. With your qualities, it’s still possible!”
Ye Jingwen spoke again.
“Isn’t Shuyuan quite suitable?”
Ye Wanyi turned to look at Ye Shuyuan beside her; the two grew up together and had a good relationship, so she was candid.
“Big sister, don’t you know me!”
Ye Shuyuan shrugged her shoulders, “I just can’t handle all the tabloid news about Director Yang!”
“If you can’t handle it, what makes you think I could?”
Ye Wanyi shook her head, then said to Ye Jingwen and Ye Jianye, “Auntie, uncle, I’m really not appropriate for this!”
“And I don’t want to get married right now. I’d rather focus all my energy on work!”
Ye Wanyi was telling the truth; she was of the workaholic type, with a very strong sense of self-pride.
Since her father passed away early, she felt somewhat marginalized within the family, so after entering the family business, she had always been determined to prove herself, to honor her father’s memory and to stabilize her position within the family.
Therefore, she really had no plans to marry, having already frozen her eggs in preparation to be a single mother in the future.
Ye Wanyi’s attitude was expected by Ye Jianye and Ye Jingwen, so they didn’t press the issue further.
“If there’s a chance in the future, just take a look!
“You may just like that kind of man!”
Ye Jianye did not hold a particularly high opinion of his grandniece’s arranged marriage with Yang Hao, so he casually replied.
“Hmm, good!”
Ye Wanyi perfunctorily nodded, although she had already made up her mind, she did not outwardly go against her second uncle’s wishes.
“Alas, each and every one of you!”
Seeing through Ye Wanyi’s thoughts, Ye Jingwen couldn’t help but sigh, “It seems if things really don’t work out, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands!”
“Hmm??”
The gaze of several people in the room instantly fell on Ye Jingwen, all feeling somewhat incredulous.
“Jingwen, do you not know how old you are yourself?”
“Of course, I’m not saying you’re old, just relatively speaking!”
“You also know that the women around Yang are all very young!”
Ye Jianshe spoke up.
“Having eaten fine foods all the time, can’t one enjoy simple porridge and side dishes?”
Ye Jingwen’s mouth curved upward slightly, “And besides, third brother, you should understand men, right?”
“Uh…”
Ye Jianshe took a good look at his sister, and then said no more.
The Ye Family were known for their good looks, and though Ye Jingwen was already 42, there was no shortage of suitors around her.
“I’m going to give Qianqian a call.”
Ye Jianshe decided not to engage in this topic any longer, for if his daughter could secure for him a son-in-law like Yang Hao, he would be extremely satisfied.
After all, the guy was a super-billionaire with a net worth in the hundreds of billions, thus Ye Jianshe would fulfill the “laid-back life” of relying on his parents in childhood, his brothers in middle age, and his daughter and son-in-law in his old age!
“I support you, auntie!”
Ye Wanyi said, smiling as she linked arms with Ye Jingwen.
“Auntie, I support you too!”
Ye Shuyuan hurriedly chimed in from the side, glad as long as she wasn’t the one being pushed into an arranged marriage.
With Yang Hao’s visit, the once tense family meeting became relatively relaxed.
During idle chatter, Ye Shuyuan picked up her phone and sent her best friend Feng Moli a message, informing her that Yang Hao was a major shareholder of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group.
At this moment, Feng Moli was at Yang Hao’s house, chatting with Chen Ruohan. As Feng Moli was about to take over the position of President at Maetian Entertainment, and Chen Ruohan’s financial contract was also transferring to Maetian Entertainment, she was inquiring whether Chen Ruohan had any preferred direction for her development.
Even though, in terms of job positions, Feng Moli was Chen Ruohan’s superior, and at quite a high level at that.
But Feng Moli had long noticed that Chen Ruohan had an unusual relationship with Yang Hao, so in front of such connected individuals, she dared not flaunt her position, and knew that building good relations was the correct approach.
“Actually, I don’t have any specific plans for my development, I just really like music, so I guess I’ll stick to being a singer!”
“Though, I really don’t like being labeled as an idol singer!”
Chen Ruohan shared her thoughts; in reality, many artists who became famous for their looks share similar sentiments, hoping to shed the “idol” label.
Feng Moli nodded slightly; indeed, shaking off the idol label can be quite difficult, as it requires one to produce a truly impressive body of work.
Such impactful works are often elusive, and a lot of the time, it’s also a matter of luck.
However, Feng Moli did not want to crush Chen Ruohan’s spirit, so she kept her opinions to herself. It was then that she started receiving a series of messages from her best friend, Ye Shuyuan.
[You wouldn’t believe it, but Director Yang is also a major shareholder of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group, with a net worth of hundreds of billions!]
[Your decision to become the president at Maetian Entertainment is really wise, with Director Yang as your backer, you might be able to fulfill your desire for revenge very soon!]
[Oh, and my dad and aunt actually want me to go into an arranged marriage, so annoying, you’ve seen how many women he has around him!]
[I would never date such a scumbag!]
After reading the series of messages, Feng Moli was initially stunned, then turned her gaze towards Yang Hao, who was on the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
She didn’t expect this additional gain!
Her involvement with Yang Hao was initially just to get him to help her achieve her goal of revenge.
Of course, Yang Hao being extremely eligible was also a contributing factor.
But her objective was always the priority. What she hadn’t anticipated was that she thought she had pulled in a tycoon worth billions,

but in reality, her new ally was actually worth hundreds of billions!
Talk about an unexpected surprise!
