Ye Chen walked into the coffee shop, and Zhu Yeqing, who was inside, saw him and waved to him.
Ye Chen walked over and sat opposite Zhu Yeqing. Zhu Yeqing had arrived in Beijing the night before last and had been staying in the Zhu family compound. This was because Zhu Yeqing had handed over all her businesses in Shanghai to the Zhu family, who were very satisfied with this illegitimate daughter and had now accepted her.
"Did you call me out because there's something you need?"
Ye Chen inquired and learned that Zhu Yeqing had messaged him last night, saying she hoped to meet and talk today, and that it wasn't safe to do so over the phone.
"The old man gave me a task, and I think this might be my first test after joining the Zhu family..."
Explanation of Bamboo Leaf Green.
Yesterday, the current head of the Zhu family, who is also Zhu Yeqing's grandfather, found her and gave her a task that seemed very important, but was not so important. Zhu Yeqing guessed that this was the old man's test to see her ability to handle things.
"The first test, what test?"
Ye Chen was somewhat curious.
"It's this..."
As he spoke, Zhu Yeqing placed a note on the table.
Ye Chen looked down and saw two big characters at the top of the note: "IOU".
"An IOU, is this to send you to collect the debt?"
Ye Chen asked in surprise.
"Yes, this IOU is from Yu Weize, a wealthy businessman in Beijing, who borrowed 6 billion yuan from Zhu Chengbin of the Zhu family three years ago..."
Zhu Yeqing explained the details to Ye Chen: Zhu Chengbin was the old man's second son, making him Zhu Yeqing's second uncle.
"An IOU from three years ago?"
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, realizing that something was amiss. The IOU itself wasn't unusual; the Zhu family was one of the eight most powerful families in Beijing, so it was perfectly normal for someone to owe them money. However, the fact that this IOU hadn't been repaid for three whole years was quite unusual.
"Could it be that Yu Zewei went bankrupt and is completely broke, or that he has passed away?"
Ye Chen guessed that if he had guessed this, then there was probably no way to make a decision.
"No, Yu Zewei is alive and well, and his business is getting better and better. He is fully capable of repaying the 6 billion yuan IOU."
Zhu Yeqing shook her head. After receiving the task from the old master of the Zhu family, Zhu Yeqing learned about Yu Zewei's current situation from the other members of the Zhu family.
He is fully capable of repaying this debt, yet he has dragged his feet for three whole years. To dare to owe the Zhu family money and not pay it back, this Yu Zewei is no ordinary person.
"I'd like to ask you to come with me to meet this Yu Zewei and see if there's any way we can get this debt back."
Zhu Yeqing explained the purpose of inviting Ye Chen.
She had just arrived in the capital and had no connections, so she could only rely on her old friend Ye Chen. Moreover, the two had an agreement that if she could successfully complete this task, the Zhu family patriarch would be satisfied with her and give her more power.
"Can."
Ye Chen nodded. This was the first test that the Zhu family patriarch was giving Zhu Yeqing. Zhu Yeqing had to complete it. Only by completing it could she demonstrate her abilities and gain the Zhu family patriarch's favor. Only then would he and Zhu Yeqing have a chance to achieve their goals.
If they fail the first test, who knows how long the Zhu Yeqing gang's plan to take over the Zhu family will be delayed.
"Walk................."
Without further ado, Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing left and headed straight for Yu Zewei's villa.
Time passed slowly, and around 3:30 pm, Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing arrived at their destination.
Seemingly very worried about his safety, Yu Zewei's villa was surrounded by many bodyguards. As soon as Ye Chen got out of the car, several bodyguards surrounded him.
Who are you?
The lead bodyguard asked cautiously.
“We are from the Zhu family in Beijing. We need to speak with Chairman Yu.”
What is Zhu Ye Qing making clear?
The moment the four large characters "Zhu Family of Beijing" appeared, the fierce-looking bodyguards immediately became humble.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the boss right away..."
After saying that, one of the bodyguards quickly turned around and headed towards the villa.
Two minutes later, the bodyguard returned and invited Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing inside, while Yu Zewei did not personally come out to greet them.
Noticing this detail, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. His creditor had come to his door, and it was none other than a member of the prestigious Zhu family. It was unusual that Yu Zewei, the debtor, didn't come to welcome him.
Upon entering the villa, they saw Yu Zewei lounging on the sofa, smoking a cigar and comfortably reading a newspaper.
"Boss, these two are from the Zhu family."
After entering, the bodyguard introduced him to Yu Zewei.
"Oh, I was busy and couldn't come out to greet you. Please forgive me..."
Yu Zewei replied dismissively.
Moreover, while speaking, Yu Zewei was still holding a cigar and a newspaper, and didn't even look up at Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing, displaying an extremely arrogant attitude.
Are you busy?
Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing were amused by Yu Zewei's excuse.
When Yu Zewei said he had something to do, did he mean leisurely smoking a cigar and reading the newspaper? Goodness, this matter must be extremely important.
"Chairman Yu..."
Just as Zhu Yeqing was about to get down to business and ask Yu Zewei to pay back the money, Ye Chen stopped her before she could even open her mouth.
Ye Chen gestured to Zhu Yeqing not to speak yet, then swaggered off to sit on the sofa opposite Yu Zewei, and poured himself and Zhu Yeqing a cup of tea as if they were at home.
Although she didn't know what Ye Chen was up to, Zhu Yeqing sat down as well.
On the other side, seeing Ye Chen so relaxed, Yu Zewei and his bodyguard were dumbfounded.
"The tea is quite good..."
After taking a sip, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Zhu Ye Qing also took a sip and agreed, saying that Yu Zewei knew how to enjoy himself; this was definitely top-grade tea, priceless.
Seeing Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing actually tasting it, Yu Zewei was completely unsettled!
Why aren't these two following the script?
Why would debt collectors come to my door for tea?
Yu Zewei was extremely puzzled. He felt that he was at a disadvantage, especially since it was on his own turf. This was unacceptable.
We can't just sit here and wait to die!
Having made his decision, Yu Zewei prepared to take the initiative!
