Chen Qian brushed aside the bangs that were covering her forehead, then covered her face and asked, "Do I look very haggard right now?"
“Yes, I have some medicinal diet recipes here. I’ll have my auntie make them for you later. They’re nourishing, good for your complexion, and also good for your mental well-being,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay, thank you." Chen Qian nodded happily; even Ye Xingchen's casual little gesture warmed her heart.
Ye Xingchen put down her cup and said with a smile, "The coffee is delicious."
"I ground it myself. If you like it, come often." Chen Qian was delighted, her cheeks flushed.
"I've called you here today to discuss something important," Ye Xingchen said seriously. "Have you heard about what happened to the Liang family?"
"The Liang family? What happened to the Liang family?" Chen Qian was slightly surprised. She had been busy with some integration work at the company these past few days and didn't know much about what was going on outside. She really didn't know what had happened to the Liang family.
"Oh, the news may not have spread yet." Ye Xingchen paused and said, "A huge fire broke out at the Liang family's residence last night. Liang Chengji, the president of the Liang Group, Liang Qing, the head of the Liang family, and a group of his direct descendants all perished in the fire."
"Huh?" Chen Qian's expression froze instantly. This news was too shocking for her, and she didn't react for a long time.
After a long pause, she asked anxiously, "Where did you get your information from? Is it reliable?"
"The information is absolutely reliable, but it might be blocked for a few days," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "But with something this big happening, it's impossible to hide it."
"Was this fire an accident, or... was it caused by someone?" Chen Qian frowned.
"Except for Liang Chenghu, all the direct descendants of the Liang family perished in the fire. Do you think this was an accident or deliberate?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Liang Chenghu did this?" Chen Qian was taken aback. She reacted quickly; what a coincidence! All the direct descendants were dead, but Liang Chenghu was the only one who survived?
“That’s right, it was him. This Second Master Liang’s methods are average, but he’s ruthless.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: “I never thought he would actually do something to his own father. But his father has always treated him badly, so it’s true that he harbors resentment.”
“In that case, the Liang Group will inevitably be thrown into turmoil.” Chen Qian was a little agitated. She took a few sips of water to calm herself down. “Does this mean that the Chen Group has a chance to rise, or even… replace the Liang family?”
“That’s right, I made these promises to your father.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. “But Liang Chenghu is now bloodthirsty. He’s like a mad tiger. He will eliminate anything that touches his interests without hesitation.”
"So what you need to do now is to be prepared, try to avoid him, and not touch his interests, otherwise you will be in danger of being killed," Ye Xingchen said.
“Okay, I understand, I know what to do.” Chen Qian nodded seriously: “Now I need to make all the preparations for the future.”
"Alright, I believe you can definitely do it." Ye Xingchen nodded. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Please report this to your father."
After watching Ye Xingchen leave, Chen Qian quickly dialed her father's number.
Chen Changye is now retired. He drinks tea every day and fishes in his spare time, living a rather pleasant life.
He was shocked by the news and it took him a good while to react.
When Ye Xingchen mentioned this to him before, he found it somewhat unbelievable.
After all, the Liang family had been entrenched in Jinling for many years, and it would be extremely difficult to uproot them and replace them.
But he did not expect that the Liang family would be in such great turmoil. An internal strife and a fire wiped out almost all of the Liang family's direct descendants.
"Dad, are you still listening?" After not hearing her father's reply for a while, Chen Qian asked tentatively. She knew that this news was too shocking for anyone.
"I'm listening." Chen Changye composed himself and said, "Listen to Mr. Ye's words, be prepared, but try not to infringe on the Liang family's interests."
“Since Liang Chenghu dares to kill even his own family, he must be a mad tiger now. Even if there are some things he doesn’t want, if anyone dares to reach out, they will definitely die.”
“I know, Dad. Mr. Ye said the time isn’t right yet, but I want to know when the best time will be,” Chen Qian said.
“The best time will be when Liang Chenghu dies,” Chen Changye said. “I think Mr. Ye must have his own plan, so we cannot confront the Liang family head-on before Liang Chenghu dies, otherwise the consequences will be severe.”
"I understand, Dad. Is there anything else I need to be careful about?" Chen Qian asked.
"Do what you can. Also, Qianqian, how's your relationship with him going?" This was still the question Chen Changye was most concerned about.
“This…” Chen Qian blushed: “There’s no progress so far.”
"Sisi," Chen Changye sighed, "sometimes, you have to fight for what you like."
“I know Dad, but he… is too outstanding, and someone as outstanding as him must have no shortage of outstanding women around him, so I feel that I… am not good enough for him.” Chen Qian lowered her head and sighed.
"Huh, my daughter thinks that way too?" Chen Changye chuckled. "You're excellent enough, but you lack initiative."
"It's easy for a woman to pursue a man, so as long as you take the initiative, everything will fall into place naturally." Chen Changye said with a smile, "Go and try your best. Happiness is something you have to fight for, understand?"
"I understand, Dad. I will try my best to achieve it." Chen Qian nodded heavily.
"Alright, get ready. Call me anytime if you have any questions," Chen Changye said with a smile.
"Okay, Dad." Chen Qian hung up the phone, staring blankly at it for a long time.
Ye Xingchen had just arrived downstairs when she ran into Chen Wenhao.
Upon seeing Ye Xingchen, this guy excitedly ran over: "Brother-in-law, what brings you to the company today? You're here to see my sister, right? How far have things progressed between you two?"
"I'm talking to your sister about business today, nothing personal, understand?" Ye Xingchen was speechless. His brother-in-law was now practically trying to lock him and Chen Qian in the same room to make things happen between them.
"Oh, business? My sister is so disappointing." Chen Wenhao said dejectedly, "Can't she be a little more proactive?"
"What, are you in such a hurry to marry off your sister?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
"No one else will do, it has to be you." Chen Wenhao got excited.
"Alright, alright," Ye Xingchen said, "Why didn't you go to school again today?"
