Wang Jinfeng was getting tired of standing, so he pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Ye Linyan.
"I think the most important thing for you right now is the year-end board meeting! Put Nan Qing'an aside for now, you still have a trump card up your sleeve!"
Ye Linyan: "What card?"
"The third young lady of the Cheng family, Cheng Ying!"
Wang Jinfeng's voice tinged with amusement: "I still remember back in college, you two had a thing going on! If it weren't for what happened to you later..."
"That's all in the past!" Ye Linyan subconsciously didn't want to continue the topic.
"You think it's all in the past? I don't think Cheng Ying thinks so! She came to see you twice yesterday! If I remember correctly, she was the one who pursued you back in college, right?"
"Can we please stop talking about this? Are you that bored?"
Wang Jinfeng leaned back against the desk, resting his hand on it: "You have no idea how busy I am! I'm practically sleeping in the office!"
Reaching out to take Ye Linyan's cigarette, he lit one for himself as well: "I feel I need to remind you, if you want to secure your position as the head of the Ye Group, Cheng Ying is the best choice! It's a business marriage, after all. As long as the other person's conditions and background are suitable, it doesn't matter who it is! But you're lucky, Cheng Ying is beautiful and is your first love. Where else can you find such a good thing!"
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Wang Jinfeng looked at Ye Linyan's somewhat cold face through the mist and continued:
"That kid Xu Nuo broke the arm of that minor celebrity who tried to get into your bed the other day! Your assistant was so scared that she quit! I told you before, he's a nasty character! Keeping him around is like raising a wolf cub!"
“If he had gone to school like a normal person, he wouldn’t be like this now!” Ye Linyan pinched the bridge of his nose.
“You know how difficult it was when I first returned to the Ye family. Apart from my maternal grandfather, I had never even met my uncle! That year, his eyesight had just recovered, so he went to Myanmar for me and found my uncle! He grew up there and knew a lot of people!”
At this point, Ye Linyan sighed softly and lowered his hand: "You can imagine what that place is like, right? Over the past few years, in order to help me, I've watched him transform from a boy who would only tug at my sleeve and cry into a worldly, smooth, and sophisticated person!"
"You're wrong, Lin Yan! He didn't become like this; he was always like this!"
When Wang Jinfeng met him in college, he was still called Lin Yan. Although he has added the surname Ye in recent years, Wang Jinfeng still prefers to call him by his college name.
"He was a very well-behaved child! He was especially cheerful!"
"He's well-behaved? Then how did you two end up in bed?" Wang Jinfeng sneered. "Are you born gay?"
"Of course not!"
Ye Linyan's eyes darkened.
"That's settled then! I know you feel he's helped you a lot these past few years, but you have to understand, times have changed. He's no longer your biggest support; he might be the biggest obstacle to your progress! It's best to remove him as soon as possible!"
As Wang Jinfeng spoke, he observed Ye Linyan's expression.
"I read through the ledgers of the casino in the east of the city overnight. The amount is so large that it can't be erased! If someone with malicious intent uses it, you'll be ruined!"
Ye Linyan pursed her lips: "I've also sent you the detailed information about Yun Duan. What do you think?"
Wang Jinfeng straightened up and said calmly, "There's nothing seriously wrong with Yunduan. There were just a few accounts that weren't done perfectly and involved the East City Casino, but I've already taken care of that! Yunduan is currently very profitable and safe!"
"Um."
Ye Linyan seemed to be deep in thought.
"There are still some shady dealings, aren't there? You have to clean those up, Xu Nuo! Ye Zhen isn't blind. If he catches something, he'll definitely make a big deal out of it! You know what will happen to you then!"
Ye Linyan looked up at Wang Jinfeng. He knew that his old classmate was thinking of him, which was why he said so much!
"I have a plan! I'll arrange for him to go abroad, and I'll handle the rest!"
Wang Jinfeng chuckled, shook his head helplessly, and after a long while, stared at Ye Linyan and asked:
"What's your relationship? Lovers? Friends with benefits? Or just bed partners?"
Ye Linyan was taken aback by the question. He went through all the relationships Ye Linyan had just mentioned in his mind. None of them were the right ones, yet it seemed like any of them would be a suitable description.
Seeing his changing expression, Wang Jinfeng asked again, "Let me put it another way: Do you like him? Or, do you love him?"
A look of confusion crossed Ye Linyan's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:
"Love? What does love feel like?"
Wang Jinfeng chuckled and laughed out loud: "Oh dear~~~~ Xu Nuo, that bad boy... he's really shameless..."
Ye Linyan looked at the person in front of her who was laughing without any regard for appearances, and her expression turned angry.
Realizing this, Wang Jinfeng slowly stopped smiling: "Alright, alright! I won't laugh at you anymore!"
After getting up and straightening his clothes, Wang Jinfeng's expression turned serious.
"Lin Yan, money can corrupt people! Xu Nuo won't listen to your ideas or plans! You'd better be prepared!"
As he reached the office door, Wang Jinfeng turned back to Ye Linyan and said:
"You should have a real relationship! Cheng Ying is great! She's the best choice!"
Ye Linyan stared blankly at the doorway where Wang Jinfeng had left for a long while.
He suddenly realized that he had never truly faced his relationship with Xu Nuo over the past few years, and it was only after Wang Jinfeng pointed it out today that he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Opening the first drawer under the desk, there were three sets of information on foreign universities. Ye Linyan had spent more than a month selecting these three sets from dozens of universities.
Originally, I planned to let Xu Nuo choose a school he liked after a while, and then send him to study!
But Wang Jinfeng's words today cast a shadow of doubt in Ye Linyan's mind.
The ringing phone interrupted Ye Linyan's thoughts. He looked down and saw it was Cheng Ying!
Not wanting to answer, Ye Linyan flipped his phone face down on his desk, pretending he hadn't heard a thing!
He never imagined that the girl he dated in college would be a rich second-generation heiress, and that five years later, the two of them would have a blind date arranged by their parents!
He deliberately avoided coming to the company yesterday, not wanting to talk to Cheng Ying! Every time he glanced at her, he felt like Xu Nuo's fox-like eyes were staring at him from behind, and he felt a chill down his spine!
