"A native of Beijing?"
Zhu Yeqing's answer was far beyond Ye Chen's expectations. He had heard rumors that Zhu Yeqing might be from a wealthy family in the south, but he never expected that she was from the capital.
Seeing Ye Chen's surprise, Zhu Yeqing deliberately spoke a few words in the Beijing dialect.
After listening, Ye Chen couldn't help but say, "That's really authentic."
Zhu Ye Qing is indeed from Beijing.
"Since you're from Beijing, why are you hiding these things when you're developing your career in Shanghai?"
Ye Chen continued to ask.
Zhu Yeqing is a powerful figure in Shanghai's underground scene. For Zhu Yeqing, where she is from doesn't seem to have much impact on her career.
"I had no choice but to do this; my family background is somewhat unusual..."
Zhu Yeqing sighed softly, as if lost in endless memories.
"I come from a wealthy family in Beijing..."
Um? ! ! !
Upon hearing Zhu Yeqing's words, Ye Chen suddenly realized something.
From a wealthy family in Beijing?
bamboo?
Zhu?!
It's the same pinyin.
"Are you from the Zhu family in the capital?"
Ye Chen guessed.
"Yes, my real name is Zhu Yeqing. I changed it to Zhu Yeqing in Shanghai because I didn't want to reveal my identity."
Zhu Yeqing nodded, not surprised that Ye Chen had guessed her identity.
Anyway, she's already planning to announce it.
"Unfortunately, I am not a direct descendant of the Zhu family. My father is the third master of the Zhu family, the third son of the current head of the Zhu family. I am his illegitimate daughter..."
Zhu Yeqing explained to Ye Chen.
Because she was born out of wedlock, Zhu Yeqing was destined not to inherit any of the Zhu family's assets and had to develop on her own, which is why she went to Shanghai.
Back in Shanghai, the Zhu family provided Zhu Yeqing with some resources, and with Zhu Yeqing's own tremendous efforts, he became a top figure in Shanghai at such a young age.
Why are you suddenly telling me this?
Ye Chen asked in surprise.
The relationship between Zhu Yeqing and the Zhu family in the capital, as well as her identity as an illegitimate daughter, were absolutely secrets. Why did Zhu Yeqing suddenly tell me this now?
Something's not right.
"I've run into some trouble, can you give me some advice?"
Zhu Ye Qing speaks the truth.
She is now facing an incredibly difficult choice, and she can't make up her mind for the time being.
That's why she rushed to the capital to ask Ye Chen for help, hoping he could lend her a hand if possible.
Ye Chen is the most powerful and well-connected among her friends.
"No problem, go ahead..."
Ye Chen spoke.
Zhu Yeqing had helped him before, and now that she was in trouble, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
“A few days ago, the Zhu family came to me and asked me to hand over everything in Shanghai to the Zhu family and return to the Zhu family. They have other plans for me.”
The answer came from Zhuyeqing.
This is clearly a case of discarding someone after they've served their purpose, an attempt to sideline them.
"Do you think I should agree to the Zhu family's offer and hand over everything?"
Indeed, the Zhu family helped her in the beginning, but Zhu Yeqing's success today is entirely due to her own efforts.
Now that she has developed everything so well, the Zhu family is trying to steal her away, taking everything she owns with just a word. Isn't that going too far?
Taking half would be acceptable for Zhuyeqing, but everything else...
Zhu Yeqing was unwilling, but he didn't dare to directly confront the Zhu family.
Because she was born out of wedlock, she was neglected from a young age and suffered various forms of discrimination and bullying within the Zhu family. As a result, Zhu Yeqing had no feelings for the Zhu family from childhood.
"They've taken everything away, and now they're making other arrangements for you back at the Zhu family?!"
Upon hearing what Zhu Yeqing said, Ye Chen suddenly had an incredibly daring plan in his mind.
The Zhu family and the Ye family are mortal enemies. Although they haven't reached the point of being irreconcilable and determined to drive each other to their deaths, they both want to bankrupt the other, and there is almost no possibility of reconciliation between them.
If Ye Chen takes control of the entire Ye family later, he will definitely have to take action against the Zhu family to resolve this issue.
But if Zhu Yeqing could take control of the Zhu family and become the head of the family, then everything would be different.
If Zhu Yeqing takes control of the Zhu family, then the Zhu family will become the Ye family's strongest ally, and will stand with the Ye family through thick and thin in any matter.
If Ye Chen could help Zhu Yeqing become the head of the Zhu family, based on his understanding of her, she would definitely be extremely grateful to him. At that time, the Zhu family might even become the Ye family's subordinate, following the Ye family's lead.
To have one of Beijing's eight most powerful families act as your subordinate—that's no small feat!
At that time, the Ye family's status in the capital will rise dramatically again, and it's not impossible for them to become the most powerful family in the capital!
Of course, it would be extremely difficult for Zhu Yeqing, an illegitimate daughter, to become the new head of the Zhu family.
However, doesn't he currently possess a secret about the Zhu family?!
With the help of games, anything is possible.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Noticing that Ye Chen was standing there in a daze and hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhu Yeqing nudged Ye Chen's shoulder.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just thought of a really interesting plan..."
Ye Chen smiled mysteriously, then asked:
"If you were to hand over all your assets and territory to the Zhu family right now, how much would you likely lose?"
"How much? Probably several billion."
The answer came from Zhuyeqing.
"What?"
"Just a few billion?"
Hearing what Zhu Yeqing said, Ye Chen felt a little helpless. He thought it would be hundreds of billions or something, but Zhu Yeqing only said a few billion.
Billions are just pocket change for him for a few days.
"Didn't the Zhu family want all your properties and territory? Give them everything. Billions are nothing..."
Ye Chen waved his hand and asked seriously again:
Do you know what you possess that is most valuable and most important?
