As soon as Ji Ruoyu stepped out of the elevator, she saw a group of company people standing in the corridor.

Ji Ruoyu frowned and asked, "Xiao Yao, what happened?"

When Secretary Xiao Yao saw Ji Ruoyu, she quickly stepped forward and said, "President Ji, you've finally arrived."

"Early in the morning, the young lady came to the company with a group of people, demanding an explanation from you."

Ji Ruoyu frowned and asked, "What explanation does he want?"

Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I don't know, he didn't say, but he seemed very aggressive."

Ji Ruoyu frowned, wondering what was wrong with Ji Ruoyun this time.

Just then, Ji Ruoyun seemed to hear the commotion outside and came out with her entourage.

Upon seeing Ji Ruoyu, Ji Ruoyun immediately said coldly, "Ji Ruoyu, this is all your doing. Come with me to the head office to receive your punishment!"

Ji Ruoyu frowned and said, "What did you say? What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"

When Ji Ruoyun saw that Ji Ruoyu dared to speak to him like that, his face turned even uglier.

He snorted coldly and said, "How dare you do it but not admit it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by 'daring to do it but not daring to admit it'?"

Ji Ruoyu was somewhat confused, while Ji Ruoyun coldly snorted, "This morning, the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Tax Bureau jointly conducted a surprise inspection of the head office."

"At the same time, people from the cosmetics association came to us, asking us to re-evaluate our cosmetics."

“These problems are not major. The most troublesome thing is that the bank came to our door to collect our previous loan of 500 million yuan.”

"You know the current situation at headquarters. If the loan is recalled, the cash flow will immediately break down."

"I think you should know what the consequences will be then."

Ji Ruoyu became more and more confused as she listened, and frowned, saying, "What do you mean by all this? I didn't find them."

“It has nothing to do with you. Let me tell you, the reason so many departments came to our door is because of you.”

"The Zheng family has spoken, saying that since you failed to reach an agreement on cooperation, they had Zheng Qiufeng injured."

"From today onwards, the Zheng family will completely sever all cooperation with the Ji family. Anyone who dares to cooperate with our Ji family will be an enemy of the Zheng family."

"Now you know how these things relate to you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's expression changed. He hadn't expected Zheng Qiufeng to distort the truth.

Zheng Qiufeng was the one who started the fight, yet he said such things.

However, things have come to this point, and even if Ji Ruoyu speaks out, it will probably be of no use.

Moreover, the investment companies controlled by the Zheng family span the three major cities of Wucheng, Echeng, and Xiangcheng, and countless companies rely on them for their livelihood.

Their words were a huge blow to the Ji family.

"The Zheng family also said that if you want them to lift the blockade, you must come to their door and apologize."

"And we also have to hand over the formula for Ji's Whitening Cream."

"Otherwise, the Zheng family will never lift the blockade. Now you know how much trouble you've caused."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu turned pale. He hadn't expected the Zheng family to make such a decision.

However, Ji Ruoyu soon realized that Zheng Qiufeng was just an excuse; their real goal was the formula.

What happened yesterday gave them the perfect excuse to make trouble.

Even though Ji Ruoyu understood the ins and outs, she still had no solution.

Just then, a calm voice rang out: "I was the one who hit him, it has nothing to do with my wife."

"Since the Zheng family wants an explanation, then I'll go and give them one."

Ji Ruoyun sneered when she saw Ye Chen in his security guard uniform.

"Go and give me an explanation. Who do you think you are?"

"You're just a lowly security guard, not even qualified to enter the Zheng family's gate. Do you think you're worthy of playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress?"

Ye Chen said calmly, "It's just a loan, right? I'll go there and it'll be settled in no time. I might even be able to get a larger loan."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun scoffed, "Do you think you own the bank and can handle it in a minute? You're just bragging without thinking."

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you, Ji Ruoyu. Now come back with me. All the board members are waiting for your explanation."

As she spoke, Ji Ruoyun waved her hand, and four tall and burly bodyguards immediately stepped forward.

Seeing this, Ye Chen coldly said, "What do you want to do? Let's see who dares to touch my people!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen's aura surged forth, and an invisible pressure spread out.

The bodyguards felt a weight on their shoulders and looked at Ye Chen with serious expressions.

Seeing this, Wang Ergou and the others quickly stepped forward and stood behind Ye Chen, each with their heads held high and chests puffed out, giving off a feeling of being a bully borrowing the tiger's might.

"Ye Chen, do you want to rebel?" Ji Ruoyun asked coldly.

"I don't care, no one can take my people away from my territory."

Ye Chen stood there, protecting Ji Ruoyu behind him.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyun was at a loss for what to do.

Even Wang Qinglong was no match for Ye Chen, so these four bodyguards were even less likely to be a match for him.

Just then, Ji Ruoyu stepped forward and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Ye Chen frowned upon hearing this and looked at Ji Ruoyu, only to find that Ji Ruoyu's expression was resolute. He immediately understood what was going on.

Hearing this, Xiao Yao became anxious and stepped forward, saying, "President Ji, you can't go. If you go, I'm afraid..."

Xiao Yao didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

Ji Ruoyu spoke up, saying, "We are all adults and must be responsible for our own actions."

"Since this matter originated from me, I naturally have to give everyone an explanation."

"Even if I am unable to work with you all in the future, I am grateful for your help during this time."

As she spoke, Ji Ruoyu bowed slightly to everyone, and everyone was deeply moved by her gesture.

After getting up, Ji Ruoyu glanced at Ye Chen, said nothing, and followed Ji Ruoyun outside.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyun sneered and glanced at Ye Chen with disdain.

It's as if it's saying, no matter how awesome you are, your wife still has to obediently come with me.

Watching President Ji walk away, everyone in the room felt pessimistic and decided to leave things as they were.

Ji Ruoyu will likely not only have to resign, but will also be severely punished.

Wang Ergou looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Brother, what do we do now? Should we make a move?"

Ye Chen frowned. Ji Ruoyu had gone along voluntarily, so there was no point in stopping her.

"Don't do anything yet, maintain company stability, I'm going out for a bit."

Ye Chen then took the elevator, changed his clothes on the first floor, and sent a text message to Du Haijun.

If Du Haijun were to step in, he could probably resolve this matter in no time.

However, that would be too easy for the Zheng family, and Ye Chen is not one to suffer losses.

Soon a text message popped up with an address.

Ye Chen flagged down a car at Zheng Qiufeng's current location.

"Master, to the Red Leaf Club."

Red Leaf Club is a private club.

Although not as luxurious as the Bajing Tower, it is safer.

It operates on a membership system, and there is no surveillance footage inside the entire club.

Body searches and security checks are required to enter and exit the clubhouse, and no communication, recording, or video recording devices are allowed inside.

As the saying goes, once you enter the museum, you don't ask about things outside; once you leave, you don't recognize anyone who was inside.

It is because of this motto that this place is a favorite of many high-ranking officials and nobles.

In a private room on the fourth floor, two beautiful women dressed in light gauze lay on the middle of a huge square table.

Various dishes were arranged all over their bodies, a perfect blend of beauty and delicious food.

Zheng Hong, the current head of the Zheng family, was holding a wine pot and pouring wine for a middle-aged man who was overweight and wearing an executive jacket.

"President Wang, I'm sorry to have troubled you with this matter. This toast is for you."

Zheng Qiufeng, standing nearby, quickly raised his glass and said, "Uncle Wang, let me have a drink with you. It all started because of me."

"That son-in-law of the Ji family is too much of a bully. I just refused to cooperate, and they actually hit me."

Bank Manager Wang, holding his wine glass, said with a smile, "You're too kind, you're too kind. I should be thanking you more."

"With just a few phone calls, we completed six months' worth of targets."

"And I didn't do anything special, I was just handling my work normally."

“For a bad company like the Ji family, such a large loan is inherently risky. I’m doing this to help the bank mitigate that risk.”

The middle-aged man's name was Wang Baolong, and he was the vice president of the Wucheng Longguo Industrial and Commercial Bank.

He was the one who approved the Ji family's loan before, and he took a lot of benefits in the process.

However, now that the Zheng family, his cash cow, has spoken, he naturally knows which side to stand on.

As for the fate of the Ji family, it was naturally irrelevant to him.
