242 Ninth Base
◎ She raised her head to look at the research institute full of technological texture.◎
Others also saw the mysterious Miss Ye and cast respectful or friendly glances at her.
An elderly shareholder spoke gently and lovingly, "Zhizhi is here to see Director Ye!"
Ye Zhizhi nodded and called him uncle.
"It's been a while since we last met. I heard from your dad that you recently published another SCI paper. You're truly a hero!"
"You're too kind. Zhizhi still has a lot to learn." Ye Zhiyan took over the topic with a smile, while Ye Zhizhi on the side just smiled.
Ye Zhiyan knew that Ye Zhizhi was not impatient with these polite greetings, so he interrupted him directly. Others also came over to exchange a few words, and then dispersed soon after.
Ye Zhiyan checked the time and dismissed the special assistants, leaving only the life assistant to make arrangements. "Are you hungry? I'll take you to dinner."
It was almost eleven when Ye Zhizhi arrived. It was almost time to get off work, so it was just the right time to go. She felt her stomach. Although she had eaten a lot of snacks and drinks, she was still a little hungry, so she nodded.
The life assistant immediately provided several restaurants for selection. After Ye Zhizhi selected one, he quickly went to make arrangements.
Ye Zhiyan took Ye Zhizhi downstairs and went directly to the garage to get in the car. He asked Ye Zhizhi about her well-being and was obviously in a very good mood.
His sister had come to him on her own initiative! How could Ye Zhiyan not be excited? He knew his sister rarely came to him on her own initiative!
Ye Zhiyan inquired about her recent life in detail, occasionally discussing topics within her social circle and lighthearted gossip. Ye Zhiyan spoke little, but answered each question well and listened attentively.
They soon arrived at the restaurant's private room. Ye Zhiyan first fed Ye Zhizhi until she was full, then asked her, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ye Zhizhi rubbed her belly and looked at Ye Zhiyan. She almost forgot about the important matter.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked Ye Zhiyan with concern, "Did something happen at the company?"
Ye Zhiyan frowned slowly, "Why do you ask? But did anyone say anything in front of you?"
Ye Zhizhi shook her head. She carefully observed Ye Zhiyan's reaction and said, "Are you really going bankrupt? If you are, don't hide it from me. Use everything you gave me to pay off your debts."
Ye Zhiyan was speechless and a little amused, "Our family is doing well, how could we go bankrupt?" Even if there were financial problems, they would not need Ye Zhizhi's things to fill the hole.
"Really?" Why was Ye Zhizhi so unconvinced? All those experiences in the past had taught Ye Zhizhi that the plot was irreversible, but it wasn't without a way out.
Her loss was real, but life and death are determined by fate, and she survived on her own. Duoduo and her brother also experienced plot-killing. What was going to happen will still happen, but when it happens, there is still a glimmer of hope. Similarly, she believes that the Ye family's bankruptcy will still happen, and there is also a chance to survive.
"Of course it's true. The company has a good reputation and a healthy financial situation. It has sufficient funds, and everything is running smoothly. Everything is moving in a positive direction. If nothing unexpected happens, the company's profits will increase by several percentage points this year. There is absolutely no sign of bankruptcy."
Ye Zhizhi pondered. This didn't make sense! Could it be that the plot wouldn't happen for several years? She couldn't wait until that day. She had to focus on her career.
Ye Zhizhi thought that if the plot really took place in the future, she would have worked hard in the past few years to develop more patents, and then sell them directly for money, or give the patents to her brothers and others to use, and make a comeback.
There is always a way out.
After Ye Zhizhi figured it out, he was still a little curious and asked, "Brother, under what circumstances would the Ye Group go bankrupt?"
Ye Zhiyan silently looked at Ye Zhizhi. She tilted her delicate, fair face upwards, her bright eyes filled with curiosity. She didn't think her question might be ambiguous. Whose child would talk about bankruptcy all the time? She wasn't afraid of attracting bad luck.
But he still satisfied Ye Zhizhi's curiosity. Ye Zhiyan thought about it carefully. "Major decision-making mistakes? Broken capital chain? Loss of competitiveness of the company's products? Illegal or irregular? All senior executives resigned? Credibility crisis?"
The Ye Group is a comprehensive multinational group with strong capital. If they want to bring down the Ye Group overnight, it will not be so easy to be defeated if there is a problem in just one of its aspects, unless various unfavorable factors accumulate and other people in the business world take the opportunity to stir up trouble and unite to strangle the Ye Group.
But even if they fell into such a situation, Ye Zhiyan believed that the Ye family could still be revived.
The Ye family is not without allies. At least the Yu family will not stand idly by.
The overall strength of the Yu family is stronger than that of the Ye family. If they take action, the Ye family will definitely not fall.
Ye Zhizhi glanced at Ye Zhiyan and suggested something suggestively: "What if a group whose strength is not inferior to the Ye family joins forces with other families and sets up a plan to swallow up the Ye family?"
Ye Zhiyan raised his eyebrows. "Then bring it on." His tone was unusually confident. He believed that even if many wealthy families joined forces, no one would have such a large appetite to swallow the Ye family.
Ye Zhizhi tilted his head and described the hypothetical situation more clearly, "If I hadn't come back, and I couldn't save you in that car accident, there would only be..."
"Nonsense!" Ye Zhiyan interrupted him before he could finish his words. "You will definitely come back. This assumption doesn't exist."
...Okay, seeing that Ye Zhiyan was really anxious and didn't even consider the subsequent assumption of his own death, Ye Zhizhi stopped talking.
After they finished lunch, Ye Zhiyan asked Ye Zhizhi, "Do you want to go back to the office for lunch or go back to school directly?"
"Let's go back to school." Ye Zhizhi came out just to find out some news. If she didn't get any, there was no need to stay here any longer. She should just continue studying.
Ye Zhiyan felt lost for a moment. His sister left so quickly, but he still agreed.
He saw Ye Zhizhi off to the car. Just as he was about to close the door, Ye Zhiyan paused and suddenly said, "If we're gone, my parents will probably lose their fighting spirit."
Ye Zhizhi was silent.
After the door closed, the car drove slowly and merged into the traffic flow.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head to look at the rear window of the car, and Ye Zhiyan was still standing there looking at him.
She waited until she was out of sight before turning her head with a sullen expression.
Perhaps that is the truth behind the original work.
No one is invincible. Even the strongest people have weaknesses. The biggest weakness of parents is their children. When Ye Zhizhi was lost, his parents also lost half their lives. Their happy family was broken. The only one who could support them was Ye Zhiyan.
If he had also died in that car accident, one can imagine the severe trauma his parents suffered. They might have simply lost the will to live and become the walking corpse.
In that case, it is not impossible that the Ye family, which has no successors, will be targeted. Without an heir, the father will no longer have the will to continue running the Ye family, and he probably gave up on the Ye family.
Otherwise, how do you think Ye Zhiyan's business ability came from? He is just a disciple who surpasses his master.
The absence of both siblings was a huge blow to Yu's mother. She remembered that by the end, she wasn't the strong woman she is now, but had mental problems and ended up in a nursing home...
The marriage between the Yu and Ye families was a mess, and the Yu family would definitely blame Ye Lang for part of the responsibility. The Yu family would definitely hate Ye Lang for what they saw. In that case, it is not impossible for the Ye family to be surrounded and attacked, and the Yu family would stand by and watch.
Fortunately, she came back and her brother was still alive.
After that, Ye Zhizhi no longer paid attention to this matter. She stayed in school for a while and, with the support of her teacher, became a member of the Ninth Base Research Institute.
Ye Zhizhi entrusted her private research institute to the management of her father, Ye. His second career was related to scientific research, so that she could directly enter a completely new industry.
She is about to leave, and it is a pity to leave such a large research institute abandoned. She will probably spend most of her time at the Ninth Base in the future. Since it is a research institute, she should just recruit people and run it normally.
During the past few years at school, Ye Zhizhi was not really oblivious to what was happening outside. The professors knew which students and juniors in the school were talented and would mention them to her. She even knew about those seniors who had graduated before and were obviously capable but were not doing well.
Ye Zhizhi's fame was very useful and she soon attracted many people. She had enough wealth to support them in their research without distraction. Ye Lang became the deputy director of the institute and was responsible for managing the institute.
Of course she is the director.
After Ye Zhizhi dealt with all this, he specially set aside a few days before leaving and stayed with his family.
After she went there, she spent less and less time with her family. It was only after she started studying like crazy that she was no longer surrounded by her family all the time, but they could still see each other at any time.
After Ye Zhizhi spent three days with the Ye family, he boarded a plane.
The whole family plus Qian Duoduo came to see her off.
Qian Duoduo's studies have not yet ended. No matter how hard she tries, she cannot keep up with Ye Zhizhi's progress. However, hard work pays off. According to the professors, after she officially graduates, there is a high chance that she will be admitted to the Ninth Base, and then she will be in the same place with Ye Zhizhi again.
Before leaving, Ye Zhizhi thought for a moment and said to Ye Zhiyan in a serious tone, "I think that man named Yuwen Xuan has bad intentions. Brother, you should be careful that he might cheat and target the Ye family!"
Ye Zhiyan was surprised for a moment, but he didn't ask where Ye Zhizhi got the news. Instead, he nodded and replied seriously, "I'll pay attention."
Ye Zhizhi emphasized: "If there is anything, you must tell me immediately! Don't hide it!"
Ye Zhiyan said lovingly, "Okay."
Ye Zhizhi felt a little relieved, and then boarded the plane and left as everyone saw him off.
She sat in her seat, hearing a loud noise in her eardrums, but she was able to remain calm at this moment. Her heartbeat seemed to have drowned out the noise. It had been almost four years, and she was finally about to return to the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi missed everything in the jungle, but for the sake of her belief, she resisted the urge to run back.
Now that she has returned from her studies, she can stay in the jungle for a long time from now on!
Ye Zhizhi has made arrangements for her future. Every year when the ice and snow melt, she goes back to the jungle, and then returns to the base before the rainy season arrives. In this way, her time each year is almost half and half, and her research is not delayed.
Ye Zhizhi's heart began to beat fast when she thought that she would see her companions soon. She was in high spirits and did not close her eyes the whole day on the plane. She turned her head from time to time to look at the clouds outside the window and kept counting the time.
When the plane finally landed, Ye Zhizhi rushed down impatiently with her luggage. The rustling wind blew on her cheeks and lifted her fluffy long hair.
She saw the car coming to pick her up from afar, and the person leaning against the door was an acquaintance.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes brightened even more. She rushed over in two steps, "Qin Fei!"
Qin Fei stood up and took over Ye Zhizhi's suitcase and backpack with a relaxed look on his face. "I was drafted into the army by Grandpa Wu. I'm the driver today. Please get in." After Qin Fei put the luggage away, he opened the car door.
Ye Zhizhi quickly rushed in, fastened his seatbelt, and sat down, saying confidently, "It's my duty. I'm the 'elder', the eldest nephew!"
Ye Zhizhi smiled happily, feeling happy at the thought that he was a generation older than Qin Fei.
After she was accepted as the teacher's last disciple, her generation was directly promoted. Aunt Liang became her senior sister, and Aunt Liang's son, Qin Fei, became her eldest nephew, haha!
Could Qin Fei be taken advantage of so easily? He calmly replied: "We each have our own opinions."
They hadn't seen each other in the past three years. Qin Fei had focused on developing his mercenary group, which was now quite famous, at least in the jungle. But they hadn't grown estranged, and they kept in touch frequently, especially since Ye Zhizhi was a generation older. They would occasionally exchange words about their seniority, which had made them even closer.
Ye Zhizhi heard Qin Fei's rebuttal and said proudly, "Do you dare to say that in front of Senior Sister?"
Qin Fei said stubbornly: "Of course."
"I don't believe it." The teacher and senior sister valued her very much. The moment she was accepted as the closed disciple, the senior sister immediately asked her to change her name and gave her a big red envelope, calling it a fee for changing her name.
Ye Zhizhi was calm and composed, "Don't worry, if Senior Sister beats you up, I will help you."
"Thank you so much."
As the two were talking, the car soon stopped at the gate of the institute.
Ye Zhizhi pushed open the car door and jumped out, looking up at the research institute full of technological texture.
She had been to the Ninth Base twice, both times entering the institute as an outsider. Now she came again, but became a member.
Ye Zhizhi sighed inwardly.
