"Enough nonsense, come in."
As Ye Zixun passed by Lan Baobao, he stopped and whispered, "You better behave yourself!"
Am I not behaving? They are the ones at fault, okay? I haven't done anything!
Lan Baobao dared not voice her anger and bit her teeth, swallowing the reprimand down.
After they all entered the room, Lan Baobao, as the assistant, naturally had to serve them. She carefully prepared Ye Zixun's coffee and poured two cups of instant coffee for the other two guys.
After delivering the three cups of coffee, just as she was about to leave, Ye Zixun suddenly said, "Lan Baobao, stay here and sit beside me!"
In the company, he was the president; no one could go against his words, including Lan Baobao.
Chen Huanya watched as the opportunity slipped away and secretly resented Lan Baobao, her teeth itching with anger.
A man like Ye Zixun, as long as she could get even a little closer to him, would mean a bright future. If she could successfully charm him this time, she could turn her life around.
This Lan Baobao looked average and seemed unimpressive; she had no status or background. How could she possibly succeed in climbing up?
Lan Baobao glanced at Chen Huanya and saw the hatred and jealousy in her eyes, realizing that this woman was plotting something.
She rolled her eyes and silently cursed Chen Huanya.
If you want to scheme against Ye Zixun, a woman of your caliber should just give it up. Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to hurry home, lie in bed, and get some sleep. Who knows? Maybe dreaming might be more realistic.
Pan Ya was in the building materials business. In recent years, Ye Group's real estate business had been thriving, collaborating with many building material suppliers. Although Pan Ya's company wasn't their largest partner, they were still collaborators. Recently, due to Gu Feng's recommendation, Ye Zixun planned to transfer the building materials contract to someone introduced by Gu Feng after the current contract expired.
If Pan Ya lost such a significant client as Ye Zixun, it would not only cause losses for the company but also damage their reputation. This deal could not be let go.
"President Ye, we have collaborated on two contracts, and over these two years, there have been no unpleasant moments; our cooperation has been quite pleasant. The new building developed by the Ye Family is also made with the materials we provided, and there have been no issues. This building is just a small matter for you. Do you think we can continue our collaboration?"
Ye Zixun remained silent, his long fingers holding a fine ceramic coffee cup as he sipped his coffee, his narrow eyes seemingly unable to discern anything.
Pan Ya exchanged a glance, and Chen Huanya playfully nudged her upper body forward, revealing a narrow gap in her low-collared shirt that even Lan Baobao, sitting at the farthest distance, could see.
As a woman herself, she felt ashamed for these disgraceful women.
"President Ye, think about it; our cooperation has always been pleasant. Suddenly halting it would be quite abrupt. We all make money together; everything else is secondary, isn't it?"
She leaned slightly towards Ye Zixun, her ample bosom shifting restlessly in her clothing as she spoke in a sweet voice, "President Ye, you are wealthy; a building is nothing to you. It's just a contract; it's merely a matter of your word, right?"
Is that so? You make my skin crawl...
Fortunately, Lan Baobao was wearing long sleeves today; otherwise, the goosebumps dancing on her skin would surely make Ye Zixun laugh.
"Baby, do you have any opinions on this matter?" Ye Zixun suddenly turned his head, his narrow gaze landing on Lan Baobao, startling the goosebumps on her skin into stillness.
Pan Ya and Chen Huanya focused their attention on Lan Baobao with expressions that were half surprised and half threatening. She appeared dazed and foolish; at best, she was just a woman who could use her wits to climb into a man's bed. Such women usually weren't very bright; with a little temptation, they would easily follow along with others' intentions.
Pan Ya immediately directed her words at Lan Baobao: "Baby, let me tell you, our products are worth far more than their price. Collaborating with us will definitely not cause you any worries; it's a win-win situation!"
Lan Baobao smiled faintly, already feeling disgusted to the core. She mentally cursed Pan Ya from head to toe. Chen Huanya had never liked Lan Baobao; their first meeting had already seen her humiliated several times. The score had yet to be settled for that. Yet Pan Ya still dared to flirt with Lan Baobao—she shouldn't forget that Chen Huanya had contributed significantly to where she was now!
Ye Zixun observed the expressions of the three women coldly, a faintly indifferent smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he continued calmly: "Baby, what do you think?"
His glance conveyed clear displeasure to Lan Baobao. Even if he no longer wanted his woman, no one else was allowed to touch her without his permission. Lan Baobao was his fiancée; this fact was well-known. He could pretend not to see when Pan Ya had grabbed her hand earlier.
But now he is acting as if he is very familiar with Lan Baobao, which makes Ye Zixun even more displeased. What is Pan Ya? Just a contractor, yet he dares to flirt with my woman. Hmph, truly someone who doesn't know his place.
Lan Baobao chuckled twice and said humbly, "I am just an assistant; this kind of issue falls under decision-making. President, you should make the call yourself!"
"You are my fiancée, and you will inevitably be involved in business matters in the future. From now on, you need to start learning slowly. This matter isn't a big deal and doesn't involve much money; you should make the decision for now!"
Not a big deal...
That statement might pass for others, but Lan Baobao knows that this matter is not that simple.
Last night at the dinner table, Gu Feng already brought this up. The person he introduced is a classmate of his who is not doing well. He runs a factory that produces decent quality goods, but sales are poor and it's on the verge of bankruptcy. He specifically came to ask Gu Feng for help.
Ye Zixun intends to give this contract to him out of respect for Gu Feng, but he doesn’t want to be the bad guy, so that role must fall to Lan Baobao. Remembering how Assistant Lin was waiting for her this morning and handed her the materials with instructions to read them immediately, it seems Ye Zixun wanted to use her hands to get rid of Pan Ya and his group.
If he wants her to be the bad guy, then so be it; calling it family business exposure over this measly contract is nothing significant to him!
Ye Zixun's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light sweeping across her face, emanating a sense of danger and warning.
Lan Baobao is no fool; even if she has to play the villain in this situation, at most she would gain a reputation for being ruthless, which is better than offending Ye Zixun.
She lowered her head and said, "Since President Ye insists, I will take care of it. Although this contract project isn't large, it won't have much impact on us regardless of who gets it."
"Exactly! That's right! Baby is correct!" Pan Ya laughed without noticing Ye Zixun's tightly clenched jaw.
"Continue!" Ye Zixun's voice suddenly turned icy. Lan Baobao dared not challenge his limits any further and immediately continued.
"Although that's true, the other company may not compare financially to Ye Family, but their reputation must also be good, especially since they are a publicly listed company. Mr. Pan's company went public two years ago; their stock has actually been quite good and is well-regarded by the public."
Pan Ya nodded repeatedly, but cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Lan Baobao remained expressionless, staring at the coffee cup as she continued, "However, there is some information indicating that Mr. Pan has not been living a proper life recently. It's not just Mr. Pan; more than half of the company's executives are also not very upright. I'm not referring to personal misconduct, but rather issues related to business affairs.
Recently, Mr. Pan's company invested in two projects in H City, and suddenly the funds were misappropriated. There are also issues with reselling goods. If these matters are not exposed, they will affect the company's image. Just one failure could lead the company to face bankruptcy. Our Ye Family is not heartless; after all, we have been cooperating for such a long time.
If Mr. Pan insists on securing this contract, then I ask Mr. Pan to first have the executives of your company cover the financial shortfall from the misappropriation in H City, and once the issues with reselling goods are resolved, we can discuss further!"
Lan Baobao almost finished her statement in one breath, about seventy percent of which was based on the information she had gathered. During her previous work in planning, she had encountered some unscrupulous partners looking to take advantage, and Lan Baobao knew their strengths and weaknesses and how to negotiate with them.
However, Ye Zixun actually wanted to push her out as the villain; Lan Baobao couldn't help but want to curse his ancestors.
With such a sinister, perverted, and scheming boss who was also her husband, it was no wonder that she, as his subordinate and part-time wife, would become twisted and perverse herself...
"Lan, Lan Baobao, you’re talking nonsense! I tell you, our company operates with integrity; there are no issues with our finances. If you slander us like this, I won’t be polite!"
Having been exposed, Pan Ya felt his fury rise in embarrassment and jumped up from the sofa, pointing at Lan Baobao's nose and cursing.
Lan Baobao blinked her eyes and revealed a slight smile as she said, "I'm not lying; this is the report from the investigation company. I merely read what was on the report; the last two sentences were added by me. Mr. Pan, please don’t be angry with me; if you’re upset, take it out on the investigation company!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ye Zixun's mouth, and his eyes sparkled brightly.
