HK Mid-Levels Ye Family Villa

Ye Yuanhao rushed back to the old house to discuss the cooperation with the Yuwen family with his grandmother, Tang Yufen.

In truth, he secretly agreed. The Yuwen family wielded immense power in Pingjiang, with influence in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and even connections in the capital. The Ye family had been away from Pingjiang for too long and had no connections whatsoever, which was why even a small project was cancelled by the municipal government.

If they cooperated with the Yuwen family, such a trivial matter would never have happened. Moreover, the mainland is a huge pie, and the Ye family could make a fortune even if they only got a small share, a hundred times better than in Hong Kong.

Like Ye Susu, Ye Yuanhao was determined to get the company, but he belonged to the second branch of the Ye family. His father was caught in the middle and had mediocre abilities. Tang Yufen did not value his father. If it weren't for his outstanding abilities, he might not have even been able to get into the company.

Ambitious Ye Yuanhao planned to use the Yuwen family to increase his competitive advantage. When reporting to his grandmother, he deliberately exaggerated the Yuwen family's capabilities, speaking eloquently and persuasively.

Tang Yufen, adorned with jewels, listened quietly to Ye Yuanhao's words with her eyes slightly narrowed. Her expression was very calm, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"grandmother……"

Ye Yuanhao finished bragging but didn't get a reply from Tang Yufen, making him very uneasy.

Tang Yufen slowly turned the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand. Over the years, she has been a devout Buddhist, observing vegetarianism on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month and visiting temples to worship whenever she has free time. She is very devout, and it is well known in Hong Kong's wealthy circles that the old lady of the Ye family is a Buddhist who does good deeds and accumulates merit.

"Is there no way to get that scar removal cream?" Tang Yufen finally spoke, but she asked about something else entirely.

Ye Yuanhao felt a chill run down his spine and respectfully replied, "Yes, the government has already withdrawn the project, and the vice mayor in charge of the project has a very close relationship with Ye Qingqing's fiancé."

"What's the deputy mayor's name?"

“Sang Huaiyuan, I’ve asked him out several times, but his secretary has refused each time.”

Tang Yufen tightened her grip, and the string of the prayer beads snapped, scattering the beads on the ground with a crisp sound. Ye Yuanhao was startled and looked at her in confusion.

"The 'Sang' in 'mulberry tree'? The 'Huaiyuan' in 'lofty aspirations'? Around fifty years old?" Tang Yufen asked, enunciating each word clearly. Although her expression remained calm, her eyes held a sharper edge.

Although she is not young, she looks only in her fifties because she takes good care of herself. She still has her charm and her eyes are almost the same as when she was young, without the dullness and sluggishness of an ordinary old person.

Ye Yuanhao was very surprised and nodded, "Yes, Grandmother knows him?"

Tang Yufen gave a slight sneer, "Of course I know him. I even held him in my arms back then. He's the son of that old hag Sheng Xinlan!"

Unexpectedly, Sang Huaiyuan became the vice mayor, and might even become the next mayor. Tang Yufen's mood immediately soured. Wasn't the mainland supposed to be cracking down on the rich? How could they let that old bitch Sheng Xinlan make a comeback?

Pingjiang is one of the top metropolises in the inland areas. If Sang Huaiyuan becomes the mayor of Pingjiang, he will be equivalent to a first-rank official in the past. Wouldn't that old poisonous woman Sheng Xinlan become a first-rank noblewoman, with a status much higher than that of a merchant's wife?

Can't!

She worked hard for decades, racking her brains, all to trample Sheng Xinlan underfoot. She finally succeeded, but God allowed this family to rise again. She was truly blind!

"Go and pick up Susu and take her home first. I'll think about the cooperation with the Yuwen family some more," Tang Yufen said calmly, having composed herself.

Of course, she wouldn't completely believe Ye Yuanhao's words. She was going to investigate the Yuwen family's background. If they were really that capable, cooperation wasn't out of the question!

It would be even better if the Yuwen family could help her bring down Sang Huaiyuan!
