Ye Zhiwei felt that she, a young woman, couldn't stand up to Ye Qingcheng, an old fox. She had confidently gone to find Ji Shuli, but after only a few words with Ji Shuli, and with Jiang Jianian returning, Ye Zhiwei basically knew that she had been causing trouble right under Ye Qingcheng's nose. So she sheepishly brought Ji Shuli back again.

Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli stood on either side of Ye Qingcheng's desk in his hospital room. Ye Qingcheng had recently had more free time to write and practice calligraphy, seemingly cultivating his character. He glanced at the two standing in front of him, and after writing the last character, he slowly took off his glasses and asked with a smile, "Have you two finished with your little ideas? Come on, tell me what you discussed and what solutions you came up with."

Ye Qingcheng's question made Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli feel awkward about answering.

Ye Zhiwei gets flustered when it comes to Ye Qingcheng's affairs. Ji Shuli has spoiled Ye Zhiwei since she was a child, and he basically goes along with whatever she wants, often indulging in her nonsense.

Ye Zhiwei said awkwardly, "I was just afraid you'd worry, Dad. I was thinking it would be best to resolve this before you find out..."

"Oh? Then Zhiwei, tell me what methods you've come up with."

“Isn’t it because Yu Jingchen might be suspected of infringement? It’s just that there’s still a lot of room for discussion about whether your medical records are trade secrets…” Ye Zhiwei coughed. “So I wanted to file a civil lawsuit for infringement, but even if I did, he would have been taking a walk long ago, and there’s no direct evidence pointing to him. So that’s why I’m asking Jiang Jianian for help.”

Ye Qingcheng chuckled in exasperation, "You silly girl, why can't you ask me anything? Even if I really went back because of company matters, you could cry in front of me and I'd have to indulge you, my little princess. Besides, it's just this one thing. Changes in company leadership are common. Even if I don't step down today, I'll retire someday. If the most trustworthy thing in the Ye Group isn't its products but me, the chairman, then the group is definitely in danger. This is something I've always worried about, which is why I kept delaying my resignation. I hoped the company could continue to grow, thinking that as long as the group became big enough, it could cover up its shortcomings. But what Jing Chen did made me have to think about whether this kind of development could last..."

Although Ye Qingcheng's agreement to admit Ye Zhiwei to the hospital was largely due to her tears, Ye Qingcheng also wanted to test the Ye Group. He had already readjusted some of the company's rules and regulations in hopes of stabilizing the company's development. Worried that the company might still be unstable, Ye Qingcheng also told Jiang Jianian to pay attention to the situation. He instructed Jiang Jianian to handle what he could, and to come and consult him if he couldn't handle it, and to follow his instructions.

Ye Qingcheng originally hoped that the buffer period would last longer, but Yu Jingchen's actions forced Ye Qingcheng to make it public ahead of schedule.

"Won't the share price drop after it's made public?" Ye Zhiwei asked Ye Qingcheng with some concern.

Ye Qingcheng sighed and smiled, "It's bound to fall."

Ye Zhiwei didn't speak. She could sense the bitterness in Ye Qingcheng's smile. The Ye Group had grown so large that it almost occupied a leading position in the technology chip industry. Ye Qingcheng's departure caused stock market fluctuations and a drop in Ye Group's shares, which would have a significant impact on the company and might even lead to a break in the Ye Group's cash flow.

A broken capital chain is the worst situation for a company. In the past, with the powerful investment company Ji Group as a backer, it would have been able to overcome this difficulty. However, in the first half of the year, Ji Group transferred 80 million yuan to support Ye Group's chip research. It is impossible for Ji Group to conduct a second round of financing in a short period of time, especially at such a sensitive stage for Ye Group.

Ye Zhiwei didn't know what to say, but Ye Qingcheng mentioned, "The Ye Group has another investment shareholder who, like your grandfather Ji's company, started out in investment. He invested a sum of money during the early difficult period of the Ye Group. He only does investment business and will not interfere with the management of any company. If you can get investment from this Mr. Peng Yuezeng before this matter is announced, then this crisis can basically pass peacefully."

"Grandpa Peng, isn't this your friend, Dad?"

Ye Qingcheng laughed and said, "Yes, we've been old friends for many years, but those are just friends in life. Where do you find friends in business? I can ask him for some money, but that's only because of our friendship. If you want to get investment from him, you have to convince him first. Now I'm planning to temporarily hand over the company to Xiao Jiang, so he definitely needs to get to know Xiao Jiang better."

Ye Zhiwei was taken aback for a moment, and Ye Qingcheng continued, "I have tickets for the old gentleman's birthday banquet, which will be in about three days. Of course, this is just my suggestion. I know it is very difficult to impress that old gentleman. You are still young and have the option to hesitate."

Ye Qingcheng patted Jiang Jianian on the shoulder and said, "Little Jiang, the decision is mainly yours."

At this investment tycoon's cocktail party, many people hoped to gain his favor and secure investment. Mr. Peng Yuezeng's investment company only invests in three companies a year. Their investment methods are quite different from those of the Ji Group, but both have made their own achievements in their respective fields.

Having said all this, not only Jiang Jianian, but even Ye Zhiwei understood that this was a test from Ye Qingcheng for Jiang Jianian.

Jiang Jianian couldn't possibly refuse Ye Qingcheng's suggestion, and Ye Zhiwei also felt that since it was a good idea, they might as well give it a try; after all, it was an opportunity.

Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian were forced to attend this banquet.

Ye Qingcheng hadn't wanted his daughter to be involved in too many such circles before. He hoped that his daughter's circle would be more pure, and he didn't intend for Ye Zhiwei to have to take over the management of the Ye Group. As long as the Ye Group didn't collapse, Ye Zhiwei would never suffer any financial grievances.

But now Ye Qingcheng has changed his mind. He thinks it might be a good thing for Ye Zhiwei to get in touch with these people.

Once this matter was settled, Ji Shuli would naturally help inquire about Mr. Peng's preferences. Although he wouldn't resort to any underhanded tactics, he would at least try to give Mr. Peng a good impression.

Mr. Peng really has a great hobby, which is wine tasting. This wine party was also very private, and many of the wines at the party were from his private collection.

After telling Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian about the old gentleman's situation, Ji Shuli continued, "When I was inquiring about the old gentleman's preferences, I also inadvertently learned about the guest list for this banquet. It seems that Yu Jingchen and Yu Shishu were both invited. The old gentleman not only likes wine tasting but also likes film and television works, especially suspense-themed works. He has privately invested in several films and television series, and he seems to particularly like a crime-themed television series by Yu Shishu. He once said that he wanted to invest in making it into a movie."
