Seeing Ye Chaoqun leave the meeting room so resolutely, everyone looked at Nangong Chen with helpless expressions.
"Then Chaoqun and I will head out first. See you at the warehouse later!" Ye Chaonan said.
Ye Chaonan also sighed. Although he could understand what Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan had done, it didn't mean that Ye Chaoqun could understand it as well.
But given Ye Chaoqun's personality, this is probably the only way to get him to leave.
"Chao Nan, please help me persuade Chao Qun. I'll go talk to him and explain things later!" Nan Xiangwan said.
Ye Chaonan smiled and said, "It's okay, Ye Chaoqun is just like that. He gets angry easily, but he also forgets things easily. Don't worry, he'll understand. I'll go now, don't think too much about it!"
Unexpectedly, Ye Chaonan was so understanding. Nan Xiangwan smiled and then saw him off from the conference room.
At this point, Ouyang Qian couldn't hold back any longer; Nangong Chen's words were simply too hurtful.
"Nangong, do you even like Chaoqun? How could you hurt me like this?" Ouyang Qian accused directly.
From a woman's perspective, if Nan Haochen treated her like that, Ouyang Qian would definitely hit him with a frying pan.
After all, this feeling was really unpleasant. Ye Chaoqun had always tried his best to help them. Even if Nan Xiangwan didn't allow him to help, he would secretly find someone to help them.
In the end, Nangong Chen said something so hurtful.
Ye Chaoqun is right. It seems that Chao doesn't treat her as one of his own, but always treats her like an outsider.
Nangong Chen let out a breath and said, "If he feels this is hurtful, he can hold me responsible. But if we speak ill of the Ye family in front of him, then we'll hold his grandfather responsible!"
"I think it's better for me to take the blame!"
This was also due to Nangong Chen's considerations from various aspects, after all, for Ye Chaoqun, Old Master Ye was a very, very important family member.
Compared to Old Master Ye, Nangong Chen might be just as important to Ye Chaoqun, but he didn't want to put Ye Chaoqun in a difficult position.
Once these words were spoken, everyone around was speechless and could only sigh helplessly.
Zhan Siyu had long guessed Nangong Chen's purpose, after all, at this time, they had to lay out what Old Master Ye had done.
Nan Xiangwan also sat back in his seat. After the large meeting ended, the few of them sat down for a private meeting to discuss what to do next.
One of the most crucial issues is how to handle the relationship with the Ye family.
"You're right. Chaoqun has been very good to us, and these two siblings have always helped us a lot. It's best not to put him in a difficult position!"
"He can hate us, but it would be inhuman to put him in a difficult position!"
“I agree with Nangong Chen’s approach in this matter!” Nan Xiangwan said.
There was a few seconds of silence in the conference room before Zhan Siyu finally broke it.
"This kind of thing is hard to avoid. It's better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one. Nangong Chen's approach is correct!"
"I'm just sorry to have troubled you!"
Zhan Siyu looked at Nangong Chen helplessly. He had handled this matter well, but for him, both his relationship with Ye Chaoqun and the rift between him and the Ye family would probably only grow larger.
These conflicts will inevitably erupt one day, and then Nangong Chen will have to face them alone.
"What's the big deal? Brother Zhan, although I love Chaoqun very much, I know that if we don't find a place for ourselves, Chaoqun and I will never have a good outcome!"
"The Ye family allowed me to get engaged to Chaoqun simply because I still have skills and abilities!"
"But if I can't even keep this skill and ability, then Chaoqun and I have no future!"
Nangong Chen had already seen through all of this.
If he really wants a future with Ye Chaoqun, he must be clear about his own position and achieve greater success. Otherwise, not only will he lose face, but he will also be unable to provide Ye Chaoqun with the life he desires.
Those present fell silent once again, surprised that Nangong Chen's thoughts were so far-reaching.
Ouyang Qian also felt very sorry. He hadn't even figured out what had happened before he started scolding the other person.
"I'm sorry, just now..." Ouyang Qian said helplessly.
But before he could finish speaking, Nangong Chen burst into laughter.
"It's nothing, Miss Ouyang. Actually, I'm quite happy. With you all here, Chaoqun probably won't be bullied by anyone!"
"Thank you for your concern for Chaoqun!" Nangong Chen said.
Ouyang Qian felt even worse, but since Nangong Chen had said so, there was no point in struggling any longer.
Zhan Siyu ultimately ended the topic, acknowledging that they indeed needed to confront the threat posed by the Ye family.
The Ye family helped them a great deal, but this help did not come without a price.
This includes funding their food street project and helping them deal with the behind-the-scenes manipulators who framed and targeted them; all of this will be repaid tenfold.
Therefore, they must develop contingency plans in advance to prevent Grandpa Ye from suddenly using any tricks.
“I’ve been investigating the person who threatened Ander recently, and I’ve made some progress, but it’s not confirmed yet. It will probably take another half a day to investigate!” Nangong Chen said.
Nan Haochen nodded. During this time, he and Zhan Siyu had been investigating the mastermind behind it all.
Because while they were researching the seed program at the Academy of Sciences, there were always people targeting Nan Xiangwan behind the scenes.
They are currently on vacation for half a month, and they are coming back to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Otherwise, even if they returned to the Academy of Sciences to continue their research, they still wouldn't feel at ease.
"Then let's discuss this issue again tomorrow afternoon. We must keep a close eye on Old Master Ye and not let any clues slip by!"
Zhan Siyu had no choice; he didn't want things to come to this with Old Master Ye.
However, there was no other way. Old Master Ye was also thinking about his family. Recently, it seemed that several major families wanted to join forces to besiege the Ye family, and he had to find a way to hold on.
From the current perspective, the biggest variable is these people from the Blue Planet.
As long as we can acquire these technologies and techniques, we can break the deadlock and regain our family's position.
This is why Grandpa Ye initially provided them with assistance, even lending them a large sum of money; all of this has its reasons.
"We cannot forget the help the Ye family gave us, but at the same time, we cannot let them drive us to a dead end!"
"Favors owed must be repaid, and debts must be settled. However, we must protect what belongs to us and absolutely not cross that bottom line!" Zhan Siyu said very directly.
