Chapter 412: Chapter 412: We Go to Give Gifts_1

Dingjing Ye Family.

Ye Jianzhong received Ye Jianfei’s report and immediately summoned the Ye family members, initiating a family meeting.

”Family Head, why have you called us here?” Ye Jianfeng glanced at Ye Jianchang and his son Ye Tianming beside him before turning to look at Ye Jianzhong with confusion.

Since the last time they sought investment from Yi Chen, Ye Jianchang and his son had become very unpopular in the Dingjing Ye Family. Even Ye Jianfeng had begun to distance himself from them. However, unexpectedly, for this family meeting, Ye Jianzhong had called them over again!

”Jianfei has just brought back some news!” Ye Jianzhong glanced at Ye Jianfei, then at everyone in the conference room and began to speak with a faint smile, ”The oldest Four Great Aristocratic Families of Dingjing are about to make a move against Yichen Investment Company!”

”What?! The Four Great Aristocratic Families?!”

”The Four Great Aristocratic Families are going to act against Yi Chen?”

”Really? Fake?”

”Why would they do that?”

The Ye family members exclaimed in shock. Ye Jianchang and his son’s expressions changed, and they stared directly at Ye Jianzhong. They realized that this could be an opportunity to regain the main family’s attention!

Knock knock knock!

Ye Jianzhong knocked on the table, waiting for everyone to quiet down before speaking softly, ”As to the reason, we don’t know yet, but it’s true that the Four Great Aristocratic Families are going to act. Today’s gathering is to discuss how we should respond to this situation!”

Everyone was taken aback and then frowned, looking at Ye Jianzhong with some confusion.

Glancing over everyone again, Ye Jianzhong’s gaze landed on Ye Jianchang and Ye Tianming, ”You understand Jiang Chen better. If the Four Great Aristocratic Families take action against Yi Chen, do you think he will compromise?”

”This... I’m afraid not!” Ye Jianchang hesitated for a moment, exchanging a look with Ye Tianming before gently shaking his head.

Ye Jianzhong nodded and said, ”I also think he might not compromise. That guy is a brute who doesn’t know his own limits once he rises to power. The Four Great Aristocratic Families have always been the ones in charge in Dingjing. He dared to make such a bold bid for Sky Venerate City; what is he trying to do? Does he want everyone in Dingjing to see how capable he is? With this, it’s no wonder the Four Great Aristocratic Families are targeting him!”

After pausing, Ye Jianzhong continued softly, ”Since he won’t compromise, we can’t just watch Yi Chen, such a juicy piece of meat, fall entirely into the mouths of the Four Great Aristocratic Families. Tomorrow is a funeral for Fang Tianze from the Fang Family, one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families. We’ll attend as well, and Jianchang and Tianming, you two come along. At that time, we will talk with the Four Great Aristocratic Families!”

”All right!”

”Family Head, don’t worry, we will definitely have a good talk with the Four Great Aristocratic Families. Yu Wan is still the general manager at Yi Chen, and that’s a bargaining chip for us!” Grateful beyond words, Ye Jianchang and the others eagerly agreed.

At the same time, at Yichen Investment Company, Jiang Chen was called into the office by Gong Lin.

”What’s wrong?” Jiang Chen arrived at the chairman’s office and looked at Gong Lin, whose expression was grave.

Gong Lin spoke with a heavy voice, ”The Four Great Aristocratic Families have given us an ultimatum. They say that although Sky Venerate City is located in a remote area, its geographical position and the characteristic of being Dingjing’s tallest building have made it a landmark of Dingjing. Such a landmark cannot be left to an outside investor. They want us to sell it to them for forty billion yuan or buy fifty-one percent of our company shares for twenty billion yuan. Otherwise, they threaten that Yichen Investment will end up with nothing!”

Jiang Chen’s eyebrow raised, and a cold smile played on his lips, ”Hmph! The Four Great Aristocratic Families have quite the shrewd plan. Two options: one makes us lose eight billion, and the other is to take absolute control of our company—such cunning!”

”Jiang Chen, the Four Great Aristocratic Families are not that simple. The Gong Family used to be counted among them as one of the five. But ever since my dad shifted his development focus to Jincheng, our family still has some influence in Dingjing, but we have fallen from our aristocratic status. Now that the Four Great Aristocratic Families have controlled Dingjing for decades, you can’t imagine how strong they are. We...” A trace of worry appeared in Gong Lin’s eyes.

Jiang Chen patted Gong Lin on the shoulder and gave a reassuring smile, ”Don’t panic, I’ll handle them.”

Gong Lin nodded slightly, but the worry in her eyes did not dissipate. She believed in Jiang Chen, but that didn’t mean she was blind. If it were just a matter of physical strength, she would have unwavering faith in Jiang Chen’s victory. Gong Lin did indeed trust Jiang Chen blindly when it came to physical strength.

But the games played between companies, between families, were not just about strength. Jiang Chen was not the type to enjoy scheming and plotting.

Therefore, Gong Lin couldn’t help worrying that this time Jiang Chen might be in over his head!

Jiang Chen understood what was weighing on Gong Lin’s mind but said nothing. This wasn’t a situation where words could reassure Gong Lin.

Turning to Xuan Long, who had come with him, Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice, ”What is the Fang Family currently doing?”

Ever since the Fang Family left, Jiang Chen had had people watch them covertly. After all, having killed their son, it was within reason for the Fang Family to make a move. If they targeted him, Jiang Chen was not afraid; he was worried that they might go after Gong Lin or Ye Yuwan. Neither of those two was always in the villa—if the Fang Family targeted them, that would be troubling.

”The Fang Family has a funeral for Fang Tianze tomorrow,” Xuan Long replied quietly.

”A funeral?” Jiang Chen’s eyes brightened, and a cold smile crossed his lips, ”A funeral is good. All Four Great Aristocratic Families will certainly be present, won’t they? Xuan Long, prepare a few things for me. We’re going to offer the Fang Family a grand gift!”

After whispering the names of a few items to Xuan Long, Xuan Long gave Jiang Chen an odd look before leaving the chairman’s office.

”Jiang Chen, what are you...” Hearing the items Jiang Chen requested, Gong Lin’s expression turned to one of astonishment.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then pretended to complain, ”Don’t worry, I’ll deal with the Four Great Aristocratic Families, so you don’t need to fret. If you have the spare time to worry, you’d better take care of yourself. Look at those dark circles under your eyes. You can always work, but if you ruin your health, you won’t be able to do anything. As your boss, I now order you to rest properly!”

”Yes!” Gong Lin replied with a laugh.

”Good to know. If you dare to disobey, I’ll fire you for a few days, and when you’re rested, I’ll rehire you!” Jiang Chen said with a slight smile, and then, with a wave, he left the office.

Gong Lin chuckled as she watched Jiang Chen’s departing figure. Only once Jiang Chen left the office did Gong Lin’s expression return to one of concern.

”No matter what, Jiang Chen, I’ll stand with you!”
