Ye Chaoqun also learned about what happened in Xingfu Community. He came to ask Grandpa Ye in a hurry. As soon as he rushed in, he saw Grandpa Ye and several merchants discussing the contract.
"Grandpa, I have something to tell you!" Ye Chaoqun said.
Grandpa Ye frowned. Ye Chaoqun's arrival at this time was a complete disregard for his grandfather's dignity.
"You silly child, can't you see that Grandpa is busy?" Grandpa Ye said.
Ye Chaoqun said helplessly, "Grandpa, I have something very important to tell you!"
Old Master Ye let out a breath, and the people who had come to discuss business with him chuckled silently.
"How about this, sir? We've already talked enough for today, so let's continue next time!" one of them said.
Old Master Ye felt somewhat apologetic, but there was nothing he could do. After all, judging from Ye Chaoqun's expression, he definitely wouldn't give up until they talked to him today.
Grandpa Ye made shrewd decisions his whole life, but he made a very obvious mistake in his grandsons' education: he spoiled them too much.
However, we can't entirely blame Grandpa Ye. Ye's parents also spoiled Ye Chaoqun and his sister, which led to their current lawlessness.
Grandpa Ye politely saw off his business partners, then looked at Ye Chaoqun with a helpless expression.
"Chaoqun, what are you doing again?" Grandpa Ye asked.
Ye Chaoqun said excitedly, "Grandpa, have you heard about what happened in Xingfu Community?"
"I wonder if Sister Nan and the others are alright? Who attacked Happiness Community? How could they do such a thing?"
"Sister Nan and the others have never done anything hurtful or unreasonable. They just want to establish themselves on this planet and be self-reliant. What's it to them?"
"Grandpa, do you know who's behind this?"
Ye Chaoqun was furious. He knew he couldn't find out the truth on his own, which was why he came to ask Old Master Ye for clarification.
Old Master Ye said helplessly, "You don't need to worry about this matter. It's something that the other major families are planning behind the scenes, and even we can't shake it!"
"We can help the people in Xingfu Community from behind the scenes. If we help them openly, wouldn't that be the same as going against the other major families?"
"Although our Ye family has some ability, it doesn't mean we can directly oppose the major families!"
Grandpa Ye kept advising Ye Chaoqun and his family to stop meddling in other people's business.
Previously, it might have been just small-scale activity, but starting now, the major families behind them have begun to exert their influence.
They are determined to stop Nanxiangwan's food street project, Zhan Siyu's home and seed projects. The old general is still watching them, so it's highly unlikely they will move.
However, if this food street project succeeds, the major companies in Rose Star that produce nutrient solutions will go bankrupt instantly. Nan Xiangwan's project has touched the very foundation of their interests, so how could they possibly let him go?
Ye Chaoqun said, "Just because of that? That's because they're incompetent!"
"Grandpa, do you also agree with what they're doing?"
Seeing Ye Chaoqun's indignation on behalf of Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu, Old Master Ye couldn't help but laugh.
As an elder, one would certainly hope that their children could be more innocent, kind, and sincere. However, as the heir to the family business, Grandpa Ye was still somewhat worried about their current state.
After all, the Ye family only has two children, Ye Chaoqun and Ye Chaonan. If they continue to be so naive, they might get taken advantage of in the future.
Grandpa Ye let out a breath, unsure how to help Ye Chaoqun face this cruel truth.
"Chaoqun, do you really want to hear the truth?" Old Master Ye asked.
Ye Chaoqun nodded. He wanted to know whether it was truly possible to betray even one's own friends for the sake of business interests.
He always felt that Grandpa Ye and his parents were very upright and kind people who used their own methods to uphold the Ye family's business and bottom line.
But now, this belief has made Ye Chaoqun a little doubtful.
Grandpa Ye said, "Chaoqun, some things are not as simple as you think!"
"If Nan Xiangwan's project threatens the Ye family's business, I will take the same action!"
"You're too naive. You need to understand that if our business is even slightly tilted or on the verge of collapse, the major families will devour us in an instant, understand?"
This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and both Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu should understand this very well.
However, Nan Xiangwan's project does not conflict much with the Ye family's business, so Old Master Ye is happy to help them out.
This way, not only can they use Nan Xiangwan's project to crush the other major families, but even Old Master Ye can get a share of the profits. Why wouldn't they do that?
Hearing that Old Master Ye's cooperation with Nan Xiangwan actually had an element of exploitation, Ye Chaoqun seemed a little unable to accept it.
When he heard Ye Chaonan say those words, he thought Ye Chaonan had misunderstood what Old Master Ye meant.
But now, hearing his grandfather say these words in person, Ye Chaoqun's entire worldview was about to collapse.
She froze on the spot, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"Grandpa, is what you said true?" He wanted to confirm it again.
Ye Chaoqun desperately hoped that everything he had just heard was a lie, that it was just Old Master Ye joking with him.
However, Old Master Ye nodded, looking at Ye Chaoqun with a very firm and sincere gaze, meaning that what he had just said was not a lie, and that was exactly what he thought.
Ye Chaoqun was stunned. He silently shook his head and took two steps back in disbelief.
Two seconds later, Ye Chaoqun turned around and ran out of the Ye residence.
He didn't know how he could help, but at that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he had to help his friend.
When Ye Chaoqun arrived at Xingfu Community, Nan Xiangwan and his group were gathering people to head to the warehouse.
"Those of you who came to the warehouse with me, who may not be able to return to Xingfu Community for the next three months, have you explained this to your families?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
What Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan needed were some people who could stay at the warehouse to prevent other families from damaging the food inside.
