"What?" Ye Zhouyang looked at Pan Yang with some confusion. "What am I hiding from you? No, why would you think that? I swear I'm absolutely not hiding anything from you."
Pan Yang blinked, deleted what he had typed on his phone, and said, "Fine, say whatever you want, but I'm not going to believe you. Oh no, my heart is cold. Zhou Yang has actually learned to lie."
001 took a deep breath: "Although, it seems that the hidden person doesn't hide anything from you, and based on experience, even if he does hide something, it's probably because he's afraid you won't like it, or he'll be angry or worried."
Pan Yang: Let me ask you if you're hiding something.
001: "It seems so."
Pan Yang: That's it!
001: "Hmm?"
The banquet incident passed quickly, and Ye Duan rarely appeared in front of Fan Yang afterward.
About a month later, Ye Zhouyang had completely established himself, while Yun's father happily retired, leaving all the company's affairs to Fan Yang.
Pan Yang said, "Don't retire yet, I'll retire first, then we can talk." Of course, he still continued to be the president, evolving from Xiao Yun Zong to the real CEO.
He did run into Ye Duan a few times while he was doing business. Ye Duan was wearing a suit and looked much more disheveled than before. It was probably because of the suppression from the Ye family and the Yun family that almost no one dared to cooperate with him.
As a result of the failed negotiation, Ye Duan got so angry that he slammed the prepared contract onto the table and knocked over the coffee.
Then he looked up and saw Pan Yang standing not far away. His expression was like a palette of colors. Finally, he gritted his teeth and picked up the document from the table. The waiter saw this and quickly came over to help wipe the coffee off the table.
Ye Duan took a deep breath and walked step by step to Huan Yang, suppressing his anger and maintaining basic rationality: "Young Master Yun, you've come to see me make a fool of myself. Thanks to you and Ye Zhouyang, not a single company in the entire capital dares to cooperate with me."
Looking at him with no emotion in his eyes, Pan Yang slowly typed: "If that's the case, why don't you go somewhere else to develop your career?"
“Those places…” Ye Duan frowned. How could those places compare to this place? Moreover, he looked down on those small businesses and companies. How could they compare to these companies? The reason he couldn’t reach an agreement on the contract was because of the Yun family and the Ye family. If they hadn’t suppressed him, the contract would have been finalized long ago.
The more Ye Duan thought about it, the angrier he became. Even though there was no emotion in Pan Yang's eyes, he felt that Pan Yang was mocking him, mocking him for being incompetent compared to Ye Zhouyang.
"You have great ambitions, but you lack the ability to live up to them. Ye Duan, the Yun family and the Ye family haven't suppressed you much. If you really have the ability, you can persuade them." Huan Yang shook his phone, which slowly played a mechanical voice.
Ye Duan sneered, all traces of gentleness vanishing, his eyes revealing undisguised resentment.
Pan Yang withdrew his gaze from him and left without hesitation, bypassing him.
Upon returning to the Yun family home and opening the door, Pan Yang was puzzled to see Yun's father and Ye Zhouyang standing in the living room, locked in a staring contest. What was going on between these two?
When Yun's father saw that Pan Yang had returned, his eyes lit up and he instantly showed a kind smile.
“Pan Yang is back.” Ye Zhouyang spoke first, then walked to Pan Yang’s side, took his hand and sat down on the sofa with him. “My uncle and I are discussing the bride price.”
"What dowry? I never agreed to your marriage," Yun's father immediately said sternly.
Pan Yang nodded, and Yun's father thought that Pan Yang agreed with him. Just as he was about to feel smug, he didn't hear the mechanical voice coming from Pan Yang's phone.
"No dowry is fine too, since the final amount is the same anyway."
The smile on Yun's father's face froze instantly. He looked at Huan Yang in disbelief and raised his voice: "What? That's fine too. No dowry is fine, but you must announce to the public that you are marrying into the Yun family!"
After a two-second silence, Ye Zhouyang said, "I've decided on the bride price: 10% of the Ye Group's shares, a villa, and for the money, to bring good luck, 88.88 million. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Yun's father reluctantly nodded, "Seeing how sincere you are, I'll reluctantly agree." But then he realized something was wrong. Wait a minute, he hadn't agreed to the marriage between these two yet. This kid, Huan Yang, was siding with outsiders.
Pan Yang shrugged. He really didn't care about the bride price. He didn't care about the bride price or who married whom.
"The bride price shouldn't be taken lightly," Ye Zhouyang suddenly said.
“Since you’re paying the bride price, it’s definitely not something we can be indifferent to.” Yun’s father widened his eyes as he looked at Ye Zhouyang: “Why are you bringing this up? Didn’t we just agree on the bride price? Let me tell you, if you want to change the bride price, it can only be increased, not decreased!”
"No, that's not what I meant." Ye Zhouyang realized he had accidentally let something slip: "The bride price will definitely be more than expected, so don't worry."
Yun's father snorted coldly: "It's good that you understand, kid. I'm going out for a bit. Let me tell you, there are surveillance cameras in the house, so don't lay a finger on Huan Yang." After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Ye Zhouyang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Huan Yang, only to see Huan Yang clasping his hands together and looking at him with eyes that seemed to say, "See, I've caught you doing something wrong."
Pan Yang just looked at him quietly, his face expressionless.
“Okay.” Ye Zhouyang lowered his head and didn’t look at Huan Yang. His voice was calm: “I can hear your thoughts. I didn’t mean to, I just can’t ignore them. I can hear them when I’m close to you. I know you should have a friend named 001. I know you usually vent and chat with him. I’m sorry.”
Pan Yang blinked, his eyes instantly turning serious. Had his persona crumbled? The aloof, powerful figure was actually a chatterbox. Hmm, what to do? Should he get rid of Zhou Yang? No, no, if all else fails, should he just lock him up? Hmm, I think that's a good idea!
001: "Hey host, it seems the hidden persona has heard your thoughts, but you even know your own persona..." It's unbelievable. In fact, as long as his host doesn't speak, he does have the image of a cold and aloof big shot.
However, this person's peculiar thought process always leads him to say things that are shocking without any expression. What is that? Is it considered a repressed pervert?
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhouyang quickly grasped Huan Yang's hand: "No, I definitely won't tell anyone. In my eyes, no matter what, it's always you. I'm also glad that this allows me to understand you better."
At this point, Ye Zhouyang's tone lowered: "Of course, if you're very angry, let me make it clear first that it's impossible to annul the engagement! You can do whatever you want, as long as you can calm down."
