Chapter 74 Tyrant
When Qi Xing's WeChat message came in, Ye Xingzhou was attending the listing bell ringing ceremony of Xingneng Technology at the Huaicheng Stock Exchange.
"Did my dad give you a good look today?"
The founder of Xingneng was giving a speech on the stage. Ye Xingzhou leaned back in his chair and replied casually, "Just barely."
Qi Xing: "The project you led him to invest in made him so much money, and it's still just barely enough?"
Xingneng Technology was officially listed today after multiple rounds of financing. The capital market is optimistic and the return on investment is promising in the future. Qi Ronghua is satisfied, but it is impossible for him to treat Ye Xingzhou as his own.
Ye Xingzhou: "After all, I took his priceless treasure."
Qi Xing: "...Don't learn these glib words, they are not suitable for you."
Ye Xingzhou: “Yeah.”
Qi Ronghua was actually sitting next to him. Apart from a forced smile and a greeting when he just sat down, there was something quite awkward. Of course, it was one-sided on Qi Ronghua's part.
Ye Xingzhou seemed quite at ease, messaging Qi Xingzheng back and forth, and not trying to avoid him.
Qi Ronghua naturally wouldn't be so tasteless as to deliberately peek at his phone, but his eyesight was too good, and he saw the chat background picture on Ye Xingzhou's phone screen in a flash. It was the picture that Ye Xingzhou had casually taken after the first time. It was a picture of Qi Xing's back, half-naked, with his head down to put on his pants.
Qi Ronghua: “…”
Qi Ronghua's face turned green, and he instantly imagined his naive and foolish son being coaxed into nude chat by a beast, a restricted scene.
He couldn't help but take another look, and saw that Ye Xingzhou's WeChat note for his son was "baby", which made him even more unhappy.
What baby? That’s mine and my kid’s fucking baby!
At the end of the ceremony, Ye Xingzhou took the initiative to call Qi Ronghua and said to him, "Uncle Qi, I plan to attend Qi Xing's graduation ceremony next week."
His tone was not questioning, but he had already made a decision and just wanted to inform Qi Ronghua.
Qi Ronghua snorted coldly: "You are not allowed to go early."
Ye Xingzhou: "Okay."
Out of sight, out of mind. The old man didn't feel like staying here and chatting with this guy any longer, so he just left.
In the car, Qi Ronghua asked his assistant awkwardly: "Did you see the subordinate who came with Ye Xingzhou just now? Why is he bringing someone so young? He just has a good face. Do you think he is doing something shady outside without my son's knowledge?"
Assistant: "...He seems to be the assistant of Ye Shao's secretary. Ye Shao has never spoken to him."
And in terms of face, he is far inferior to their young master. Not to that extent, really not to that extent.
Qi Ronghua was skeptical: "Last time I met him at a business dinner, he was chatting and laughing with other people, all men, good-looking young men."
The assistant said helplessly: "They should all be talking about business. If Young Master Ye didn't chat and laugh with men, but with women..."
"Even women can't do that," Qi Ronghua glared, "He's a family man, doesn't he know how to be more careful?"
Assistant Mingzhi shut up.
Qi Ronghua was also deflated and leaned back in his chair, feeling sad that the cabbages he had grown would eventually be eaten away by pigs.
The assistant looked back at him, hesitated, and then said, "I heard that Ye's and Chaohai Group reached a strategic cooperation agreement a few days ago, and the news should be announced soon."
Qi Ronghua frowned when he heard this: "Chaohai? Isn't that mainly engaged in industry? Is Ye's cooperating with them?"
But this is not the point. The point is that Chaohai Group used to have a deep cooperative relationship with Boshun. Lin Hongfei was taken away by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the police for investigation and was later imprisoned. Boshun also collapsed, and Chaohai was implicated and almost went bankrupt due to capital turnover. When they asked Ye for help, Ye Xingzhou ignored them. Although they survived in the end, it is said that someone in their family died because of this. It is no exaggeration to say that they have an irreconcilable hatred for Ye Xingzhou.
Therefore, Qi Ronghua has always felt that Ye Xingzhou is a troublemaker. He has offended too many people and has enemies everywhere. But now Ye’s family wants to cooperate with Chaohai?
The assistant said, "Didn't Chaohai have a major board change a while ago? It was the result of their internal struggle. Young Master Ye should have been targeting not only Boshun but also Chaohai from the beginning, but the previous person in charge of Chaohai seemed to be quite arrogant. It is said that he was unwilling to lower his posture and make concessions when he went to ask Ye's for help. Young Master Ye simply supported other people in their company to seize power. Young Master Ye should have contributed a lot to the internal struggle of Chaohai this time, so the new person in charge cooperated with Ye's as soon as he took office."
Qi Ronghua was speechless. He had thought that Ye Xingzhou would restrain his behavior, but not only did he not do so in the past year or so, he became even worse. He used to pretend in front of others, but now he simply made it clear that those who obey me will prosper and those who disobey me will perish. He also tried to divert hatred, such as Chao Hai, by turning the hatred against him into an internal conflict of the other party and letting them fight it out slowly. This was his way of solving problems.
This was not the first time that Ye Xingzhou had done such a thing. Although Qi Ronghua did not show it on his face, he had actually been paying attention to all kinds of news about his "son-in-law". Ye Xingzhou was fighting this one today and dealing with that one tomorrow. Now not only was everyone in the Ye family afraid of him, he had also become a bully in Huaicheng, even more powerful than his father back then. Qi Ronghua could not help but look sideways every time he heard about it.
Before, he had gone to Mr. Chen with a worried look on his face to complain, but after listening, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Although being patient, yielding, and keeping a low profile is the way to success for most people, if you are really capable of doing the opposite, being so high-profile that most people are willing to flatter you, and the rest are afraid of you even if they are not convinced, then that is not impossible."
Qi Ronghua thought to himself that this was not what you told me back then. He felt unhappy that he was outdone by that kid Ye Xingzhou in front of Old Chen, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. He is old and doesn't want to play the tyrant.
Finally, Qi Ronghua waved his hand weakly at his assistant: "Forget it, let him be."
Maybe that kid really has the ability and can do what he couldn't do back then. He just watches.
After finishing work in the afternoon, Ye Xingzhou went to the hospital. His uncle had suffered a stroke two days ago and was still in the hospital.
The ward was crowded with people who were noisy and noisy. They were all relatives of the Ye family. They were arguing about the division of the inheritance, even though the person on the hospital bed was clearly still hanging on.
When Ye Xingzhou walked in, everyone in the ward fell silent at the same time, and looked at him cautiously with their own thoughts.
Ye Xingzhou is now a living devil, especially among the Ye family, no one is not afraid of him.
He walked in and ignored everyone. He first went to the bedside to check on his uncle. He was awake, but his eyes were slanted, his mouth was crooked, and he could not stop drooling. He could not speak, and could only make "ahhh" sounds from his throat. No one knew what he was saying, and of course, no one cared.
Ye Xingzhou was equally uninterested in this half-dead uncle. He sat down on the sofa, raised his chin arrogantly, and gestured to his uncle's eldest son, his eldest cousin, who was standing beside the bed: "Have you told them about my previous proposal? What do you think about it?"
Everyone in the ward had different expressions, and no one spoke first.
Their uncle is the chairman of the Ye family foundation. Most of the Ye family members don't even have shares in the company and rely on the living expenses from the family foundation every month. Uncle Ye can have a say in the Ye family because of this, but apart from being older and more arrogant, his ability is really limited. Over the years in his hands, the foundation has not only seen an increase in assets and wealth, but has even been running out of money.
Now that he has passed away, the foundation has to be taken over by someone else. Ye Xingzhou only gave them two options to choose from: one is to cancel the foundation and divide the remaining assets among everyone, and the other is that he will take over the foundation and find someone else to manage it. He cannot guarantee how much money each person will receive in the future, and it may be possible that no money will be received.
Of course the Ye family members are unwilling to do so. They would rather take over the foundation, but Ye Xingzhou will not give them a chance.
In fact, Ye Xingzhou didn't care about this foundation itself. He had used various methods to dilute the shares of the Ye family's parasites in the company until there was little left. Letting these people get some money every month really didn't affect him at all. He just hated the name "Ye family". Once the family foundation was gone, these people would soon become a mess, and the Ye family would no longer exist.
If it's a choice between two, he will only give them that one option.
"...Ye Wanyao died in a fight in an American prison. Did you know about this?" someone asked bravely.
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyes indifferently: "Really?"
His tone and demeanor were extremely cold, leaving no clues to be discovered. No one dares to say for sure whether he knew, how much he knew, or whether he was the one who did it.
But the more unpredictable it is, the more frightening and even terrifying it is. With Ye Wanyao’s precedent as an example, this is the fate of anyone who dares to offend Ye Xingzhou.
When I came out of the hospital, it was raining outside and the sky was gray.
The endless sticky rain made people feel annoyed, until Qi Xing’s WeChat message came in: “I’m up.”
Ye Xingzhou replied: "I stayed up late again last night. How many hours of sleep did you get?"
Qi Xing: "Don't worry about it."
Ye Xingzhou, who originally planned to go to the company, went straight home and made a video call as soon as he entered the door. Qi Xing answered slowly, put his face in front of the camera, and called him listlessly: "Ye Xingzhou..."
Ye Xingzhou: "You've already passed the thesis defense, why are you still so listless?"
"Don't mention it. I thought I was free, but last night the professor sent me an email saying that he would hold the last forum the day after tomorrow and asked us to form groups and decide on our own topics. They had to be new and creative. I can't think of that."
Qi Xing was so depressed that he almost rolled his face onto the keyboard, but Ye Xingzhou smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Qi Xing glared at him angrily.
Ye Xingzhou: "Nothing. Didn't you say a few days ago that your internship, test scores, and essays were all excellent and invincible? How come a mere activity theme stumps you again?"
"Can't I brag to you?" Qi Xing snorted, "I've got an idea. Let's call the theme "On the inheritance and spread of the pretentious phenomenon in modern corporate culture."
Ye Xingzhou: "It's up to you."
Qi Xing: "You are just trying to make fun of me."
Ye Xingzhou: "You want me to help you?"
"No," Qi Xing moved closer to the camera, "Let me think about it myself. This is the last time. Ye Xingzhou, what did my dad say to you today?"
"After a few words, I asked him about attending your graduation ceremony next week, and he agreed." Ye Xingzhou said.
Qi Xing was a little skeptical. Could his father be so easy to talk to? But it's okay if Ye Xingzhou can come over.
After some calculations, I found that I would be able to see the person in five days, and my previous depression was instantly swept away.
"When you come, we will fight for three days and three nights."
Ye Xingzhou reminded him: "Your parents will be there too."
Qi Xing: "Don't worry about them."
He finally got to see someone but he still had to hold it in. He was really about to suffocate to death.
Ye Xingzhou nodded indifferently: "Yeah."
Qi Xing felt itchy when he saw his lazy and arrogant look. He felt that he couldn't wait for five days: "Ye Xingzhou——"
Ye Xingzhou raised his eyelids: "Hmm?"
"Don't make any more noises," Qi Xing's eyes wandered, "Go back to your room..."
Ye Xingzhou: "Now?"
Qi Xing urged him: "Go back."
The light in the room was dim at dusk on a rainy day. When Ye Xingzhou drew the curtains, Qi Xing whispered, "It's raining here, too."
Ye Xingzhou: “I heard it.”
Qi Xing stared at his movements. Ye Xingzhou had already started to take off his clothes. On the screen, he unbuttoned his shirt one by one, gradually revealing his smooth and firm chest and abdominal muscles. Qi Xing's voice rolled around in his throat, and when it came out again, it was a little vague: "I want to touch you."
Ye Xingzhou untied his belt slowly, and his intentionally lowered voice was particularly sexy: "Where do you want to touch?"
Qi Xing: "Your body."
Ye Xingzhou chuckled: "Close your eyes and feel it."
Qi Xing closed his eyes reluctantly, trying to recall the warmth and touch he had felt in his palms every time he hugged Ye Xingzhou. Unfortunately, it had been too long, and describing it countless times still felt not enough. No matter how much he recalled it, it could not compare to the real touch, which made him feel frustrated.
"Qi Xing," Ye Xingzhou's voice was even deeper than before, "What did you touch?"
Qi Xing licked his lower lip. Even though he felt vague, Ye Xingzhou's voice was enough to make his blood boil, gradually awakening those physical memories: "Your lower abdomen is very hard."
Ye Xingzhou's throat rolled: "What else?"
Qi Xing: "And... it's also hard."
The two words in the middle sounded like mumbling, but Ye Xingzhou heard them clearly, and his low and hoarse laughter became even more joyful.
Qi Xing felt a little unbearable because of his laughter, he opened his eyes and looked over, his eyes were timid and seductive.
Ye Xingzhou lit a cigarette, leaned back naked on the sofa, and stared at him puffing away smoke. The smile in his eyes showed his undisguised desire for him, and he looked particularly evil.
The muscles in his arm rose and fell as his shoulder pulled him, indicating what his other hand was doing. The scene before him made Qi Xing so excited that his breathing stopped, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Ye Xingzhou said: "Baby, do it with me."
"Um……"
Qi Xing's voice also became hoarse. He leaned back in his seat and gently unbuttoned his jeans.
