Back in the room, Ji Ruoyu's door was tightly closed.

Ye Chen went up and knocked on the door, saying, "Wife, I have something good for you."

Inside the room, Ji Ruoyu heard Ye Chen's voice and said angrily, "I don't want to!"

Ye Chen sensed the displeasure in Ji Ruoyu's tone, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Honey, you really don't want this? It's a really good thing!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu immediately thought of Ye Chen giving her the amulet in the car earlier.

His tone grew even colder as he said, "I said no, and that's final."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's smile deepened, and he said, "Then if you don't want it, I'll just throw it away."

Inside the room, Ji Ruoyu pouted and said, "If you want to throw it away, then throw it away. Nobody's stopping you."

"I really threw it away," Ye Chen said again.

Ji Ruoyu pouted in the room, but didn't say anything.

Outside, Ye Chen sighed and said, "What a pity, this invitation to the Wucheng Investment Promotion Conference."

Upon hearing the words "Wucheng Investment Promotion Conference" in the room, Ji Ruoyu's eyes widened instantly.

He quickly got up and opened the door, only to see Ye Chen throwing something into the trash can.

"Wait a minute!" Ji Ruoyu quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Ye Chen smirked, withdrew his hand, and turned to look at Ji Ruoyu with an innocent expression.

"What's wrong, honey? Didn't you say you didn't want it?"

Ji Ruoyu paused, unsure how to respond.

At this moment, he also saw clearly that Ye Chen did indeed have two invitations to the Wucheng Investment Promotion Conference.

"Where did you get this?" Ji Ruoyu asked, changing the subject.

Ye Chen chuckled inwardly, but casually said, "This was given to me by Boss Liu. He was going to give it to you, but you left in a huff, so he asked me to pass it on."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu immediately said, "Since they've already given it to us and helped us so much today, it would be really impolite to throw it away."

As she spoke, Ji Ruoyu grabbed the two invitations, checked them, and confirmed that they were indeed for her. A look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

Seeing Ji Ruoyu's happy expression, Ye Chen thought to himself, "Sure enough, everything is subject to the 'it's actually good' law."

Once Ji Ruoyu came to her senses, she immediately realized that Ye Chen had done it on purpose.

She turned and snorted coldly at Ye Chen, then took the invitation and stomped back to her room.

With a "bang!", Ye Chen slammed the door shut, then looked at the closed door and rubbed his nose.

This woman's face changes faster than flipping through a book. Shaking his head, Ye Chen went to wash up by himself.

A night without words...

The next day, early morning.

Ye Chen continued practicing his boxing in the courtyard. After finishing, he went back to his room to wait for Ji Ruoyu to go to the main house for breakfast together.

Ji Ruoyu was so excited about the invitation last night that she didn't sleep well.

He had some dark circles under his eyes and looked somewhat listless while sitting at the dining table.

When Grandma Ji saw this, she gave Ye Chen a reproachful look and said, "Young people should be more mindful of self-control."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and almost dropped his chopsticks on the table.

He wondered why he hadn't been able to control himself, then looked at Ji Ruoyu, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, and at his dark circles.

Ye Chen immediately understood that the Ji family's great-grandmother had misunderstood.

"Ahem, Great-Grandma, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."

The great-grandmother of the Ji family smiled gently; in her mind, the day she would hold her great-grandson was not far off.

The expressions of the Ji family members were indeed different, while Ji Ruoyu was so embarrassed that she almost dug a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with her toes.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out: "Your own company has such a huge deficit, yet you still have the mind to party every night."

The speaker was none other than Ji Ruoyun, the apple of the eye of the eldest branch of the Ji family.

At this moment, Ji Xiaoren chimed in, "Yes, I work tirelessly for the head office every day, but some people only care about their own enjoyment and completely disregard the big picture."

Ye Chen frowned, and Ji Ruoyu also looked unhappy, but it wasn't appropriate to break off relations at the dinner table.

Ji Ruoyu could only coldly reply, "Uncle is right, but I don't need Uncle to worry about my company's affairs. I will handle them myself."

Seeing Ji Ruoyu's unfriendly attitude, Ji Xiaoren coldly said, "You think you can handle this? I'd like to see what kind of result you can come up with. Don't expect the Ji family to clean up your mess later!"

Ji Ruoyun chimed in, "That's right. Because of certain people, Wangcheng Pharmaceutical wants to terminate our contract. I heard that Young Master Wang had his hand crippled yesterday. That's quite an achievement."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's expression changed, and Ji Xiaoren, who was standing next to her, seized the opportunity to add, "Yes, the cooperation with Wangcheng Pharmaceutical has always been a key project for the head office."

“Now that Wangcheng Pharmaceutical wants to terminate the cooperation, I heard that they have already started negotiating with our competitors. I think someone must be held responsible for this.”

As he spoke, Ji Xiaoren glanced meaningfully at Ji Xiaojun.

In his view, Yan Ruyu Company was like a grasshopper in autumn, it wouldn't last much longer.

On the contrary, the position of project manager Ji Xiaojun is a lucrative one. If we could take the opportunity to remove him and replace him with one of our own people.

For the main branch of the family, this would undoubtedly further increase their power.

When Ji Xiaojun heard that Wang Shao had lost an arm, his expression changed drastically, and he turned to look at Ye Chen and Ji Ruoyu.

Seeing Ji Ruoyu's unpleasant expression, Ji Xiaojun immediately had a bad feeling.

"Ruoyu, what exactly is going on?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu looked aggrieved and said, "Dad, yesterday Young Master Wang had someone drug my drink, trying to..."

Although Ji Ruoyu didn't finish her sentence, everyone was an adult and naturally understood what she meant.

Although Ji Xiaojun felt sorry for the girl, he was still somewhat disappointed and said, "Even so, you can't cripple Young Master Wang's hand. Do you know what the cooperation with Wangcheng Pharmaceuticals means to me?"

Ye Chen then spoke up, "Father-in-law, this is not Ruoyu's fault; I was the one who did it."

As he spoke, Ye Chen looked at Ji Xiaoren and said coldly, "A mere Dynasty Pharmaceutical is not as important to me as a single hair on my wife's head."

"Besides, cooperation is about mutual benefit and win-win results. It's not about assigning responsibility to anyone."

"I think some people should ask themselves who is to blame for the termination of the cooperation agreement."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoren's expression changed, and he coldly said, "What do you mean, you surnamed Ye!"

Ye Chen said calmly, "It doesn't mean anything, it's just a reminder to certain people."

Ji Xiaoren didn't know if Ye Chen had really found out anything, and he didn't dare to continue dwelling on this topic.

Ji Ruoyun said unwillingly, "Even if we put aside the matter of Wangcheng Pharmaceutical, the fact remains that Yan Ruyu Company is losing money."

"If Yan Ruyu Company goes bankrupt at that time, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the head office."

“I propose that Ji Ruoyu be removed from her position and replaced with someone capable of recovering the debts.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaojun's expression changed. It seemed that the eldest son's family wouldn't let the matter rest today.

Judging from the current situation, the father and daughter had already planned this all along.

Ji Ruoyu said coldly, "I admit that Yan Ruyu Company does have some problems, but I will handle them myself."

"As for the final payment, I will definitely be able to get it back within three days. If I can't, I will resign."

Now that the die is cast, Ji Ruoyu has no choice but to make a guarantee.

However, Ji Ruoyu was unsure of what to do and could only stall for time to think of a solution.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun's expression changed, and then she looked at Ye Chen and said, "Some people shouldn't forget our bet. I've already made arrangements with the reporters."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget. I just hope that some people won't renege on their promises."

Ji Ruoyun sneered, "Some people just won't shed a tear until they see the coffin. I'm waiting to see you run naked!"

Ye Chen seemed completely unconcerned. He glanced at the time and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I think the money from Tianchen Company should be arriving soon by now."

Ji Ruoyun scoffed, "I think you're still dreaming, haven't you woken up yet?"

Ye Chen calmly replied, "Whether I'm dreaming or not, we'll find out soon enough. I just don't know if you've prepared your bet."

Ji Ruoyun sneered, "You still want to bet? I think you'd better beg me, and when you run around naked, I'll let you wear underwear."

Just then, Ji Ruoyu's phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Ji Ruoyu answered the phone, and her secretary, Xiao Yao, answered with a delighted voice.

"President Ji, Tianchen Company has delivered the outstanding payment, and even paid extra interest!"

Xiao Yao's voice was loud on the phone, and everyone in the restaurant could hear it clearly.
