Chen Du said in a calm tone, "Miss Kong, please speak."
Kong Yingying smiled, handed him the documents in her hand, and then sat down to explain in detail.
"Here's the thing, I want to build this amusement park project next to Shen's film and television city, so that not only..."
Just then, Lin Yi knocked on the door and came in, interrupting her.
Chen Du simply said, "Miss Kong, please continue..."
Kong Yingying glanced at Lin Yi with slight hesitation before continuing to speak. Chen Du gave Lin Yi a look, handed him the documents in his hand, and then went about her work on the side.
Kong Yingying's expression stiffened slightly as she spoke, and she finally stopped abruptly, looking at Shen Du and asking, "What does President Shen mean by this?"
Chen Du glanced at her indifferently and replied, "I've told Miss Kong more than once that I've handed this project over to Lin Yi to be fully in charge, but Miss Kong has repeatedly tried to see me. I'd like to ask you what you mean by this?"
After he said this, Kong Yingying was slightly taken aback, and only said, "As for work, I certainly think it's more appropriate to talk to you. I don't mean anything else."
Chen Du spoke calmly, "Since I've entrusted this project to Lin Yi, he will see it through to the end. If Miss Kong doesn't trust my arrangements, then there's no point in us cooperating on this project."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Yingying could no longer maintain her composure, and finally showed a hint of anxiety: "President Shen, that's not what I meant, please don't misunderstand, I just thought it would be better to discuss these matters with you..."
Shen Du interrupted her calmly: "Then please respect my arrangements, Miss Kong."
Without waiting for Kong Yingying's reaction, he turned to Lin Yi and said in an unquestionable tone, "Take Miss Kong downstairs and have a proper discussion with her about this project."
Kong Yingying's expression was stiff. She didn't say anything else, only saying to Shen Du, "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Shen."
She went in with a smile, but came out with a very unpleasant expression. She hadn't expected Shen Du to be so cold and unapproachable.
But it doesn't matter, if he were too easy to approach, he wouldn't be himself.
Kong Yingying was only down for a short while before she regained her spirits and seriously discussed the amusement park project with Lin Yi. Lin Yi was somewhat amazed by her recovery speed, but seeing that she was indeed very proactive and serious about her work, he also thought more highly of her.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling was packing her luggage to go to Jiashui.
When Yang Wan came over, she saw Lingling packing her luggage and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Lingling, listen to your mother's advice. We can't reach President Jiang's level. Can't we find someone else?"
Without turning her head, Ye Ling said, "Why? If Ye Zhao can get together with President Shen, I don't believe President Jiang wouldn't like me."
Yang Wan sat down beside her, her face full of worry, and said earnestly, "Your father has also found a good family for you. Why don't you go and meet them?"
As Ye Ling tidied her clothes, she scoffed, "A good family? I'd be lucky if he didn't sell me off..."
Yang Wan quickly said, "Your dad was only doing it for the good of our family, don't think of him like that."
Ye Ling replied with a mocking expression, "Come on, don't I know what kind of person he is?"
Seeing that she was unmoved by his words, Yang Wan sighed and said, "Don't you trust your dad or me? Mom promises to find you a good way out, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling slowly stopped what she was doing and looked at her: "What kind of way out do you want to give me?"
Yang Wan held her hand, looking at Ye Ling with a loving and regretful expression: "Trust your mother. Look at what happened to Ye Zhao when she tried to climb up to President Shen."
She looked at Ye Ling and continued earnestly, "Mom knows you're deeply in love with President Jiang, but have you made any progress since you joined the Jiang family? Besides, the Jiang family is a large and powerful family. Although it can't compare to the Shen family, it still holds a very high position in City A. Look at our Ye family now, we don't even have the right to climb up to them."
Ye Ling was aware of what Yang Wan was saying, but she didn't want to believe it, nor was she willing to accept that she was so far removed from Jiang Che.
Hearing Yang Wan talk about these things, she felt even more desperate. She had resigned this time to go find Jiang Che because she was willing to take a gamble. She wanted to fight for even the slightest hope, but she never expected that before she even left home, Yang Wan would shatter that hope.
She looked at Yang Wan, and asked helplessly, "Then what do you think I should do, Mom?"
Yang Wan patted her shoulder and said gently, "Your father is useless, and Ye's is about to go bankrupt. I can't do anything about it, but I will make sure you and Qianqian are taken care of properly and I will never let you suffer."
"Wait patiently, Mom will arrange everything for you."
Just as Yang Wan had calmed Ye Ling down, Jiang's family called and urged her to go back to work overtime, saying that there had been some problems at work and they would hold her accountable.
Although Ye Ling was very annoyed, she still went back. She didn't expect that Shen Jiayi had arranged this.
Yang Wan took Ye Ling to the Jiang family, then turned around and drove off to another place.
In the villa area on the outskirts of City A, she drove in with familiarity and entered a small villa with a very elegant exterior.
She looked around as she entered the room before taking off her hat and sunglasses and going inside.
"Why did you come here today?"
As soon as she entered the room, a deep, middle-aged man's voice came from inside.
Yang Wan sighed and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to inquire about going?"
The middle-aged man, with a large belly and very thinning hair, was sitting on the sofa in a set of pajamas. Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "What's the rush? This matter needs to be taken slowly."
As Yang Wan walked over, she said anxiously, "You're not worried at all, but the Ye family is about to collapse. What will happen to the child then?"
The man smiled and put his arm around her waist: "Don't worry, it'll be in the next couple of days. Get everything ready for the baby."
Yang Wan then smiled and snuggled into his arms, saying with some concern, "I'm not too worried about Qianqian; sending him abroad will solve the problem. But what about Lingling? I don't know what to do. Can you help me think of a solution?"
The man narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, paused for a few seconds, and replied, "The best solution is for her to support herself. Do you think she can?"
Yang Wan was silent for several seconds before saying, "Lingling has an outgoing personality. I want to find her a powerful backer so that even if the Ye family goes bankrupt, she won't be bullied by those who fawn over the powerful and look down on the weak."
The man smirked and said, "It's easy to find a backer, but I wonder what kind of one she's looking for?"
Yang Wan looked up at him and said hesitantly, "I think... the one from the Wang family is not bad."
The man glanced down at her, scoffed, and said, "You certainly have high standards, but the Wang family might not even look at Ye Ling..."
Meeting Yang Wan's dissatisfied gaze, he quickly added, "I do have a good candidate in mind."
