My whole family treats me like a dog, but this time I will never turn back!

Ye Xu's face darkened upon hearing this: "Ye Jianchen, you're fucking lucky!"

He had already set up a trap, so Ye Jianchen wouldn't be able to clear his name no matter what. Who knew this would happen? He didn't know if Ye Jianchen had prepared it in advance or if it was just luck!

Afterwards, Ye Xu felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but to avoid Uncle Wu's nagging, he endured it and dared not show it!

After arriving at Dongxu Group, he called Liu Ruyan, only to find that she had just returned from a night of heavy drinking, having spent the entire night at a bar!

"Ruyan, don't drink so much! There's a dinner party tonight, come over!"

For some reason, Ye Xu's mood worsened, even though he had his bodyguards follow Liu Ruyan closely and prevent other men from getting close!

But he still felt uneasy!

In addition, Liu Ruyan's father, Liu Tai, also ran into some trouble, which was related to gambling. Ye Xu had no choice but to pay off another debt for him!

Upon arriving at the conference room, Ye Xu proceeded with the meeting as usual!

"Let's talk about Tianchen Group first!"

Ye Xu got straight to the point.

"Tianchen Group has been making good profits recently. Apart from Tianyin Group, the brand value of Dichen Clothing has skyrocketed, and the market value of Tianwei Technology has also soared!"

"Conservative estimates suggest that Ye Jianchen's assets have surged to over 300 billion yuan, moving him up two places on the list of China's richest people!"

"Furthermore, according to our investigation, Ye Jianchen has invested in battery research institutes in several cities in the south, seemingly planning to make moves in the new energy sector, with an investment of around 50 billion yuan!"

Leaders from various departments began to speak up!

This is their habit; the primary purpose of the meeting is to keep an eye on Tianchen Group, as if Tianchen Group is a stumbling block for them!

Ye Xu's face darkened even more after hearing this; there hadn't been any good news in the past day or two.

"I need to find a way to stop him from entering the battery industry!"

Ye Xu was unaware of Ye Jianchen's purpose, but he would do everything he could to cause trouble for any business Ye Jianchen wanted to pursue!

"The battery industry? What exactly does he want to do?"

Uncle Wu then interjected, "Could it be that he also wants to get involved in the rare earth industry?"

Batteries are related to rare earth elements, so it's understandable that Uncle Wu would think that way!

"By the way, our rare earth industry project in the south has been halted!"

Uncle Wu seemed to remember something and looked at Ye Xu, saying...

"What? The rare earth industry is extremely profitable! Who has the right to stop it?!"

Ye Xu stood up hurriedly. Dongxu Group was able to dominate the south because many of its industries were related to people's livelihoods, including the rare earth industry!

"It's at the very top!"

Uncle Wu said helplessly, "The order from above has come down, even the tycoons have to make way!"

Ye Xu understood what it meant. It must be a strategic reason; he was just unlucky to have run into this situation!

Even so, he was still very unhappy, extremely unhappy, because Dongxu Group had invested a lot of money in the rare earth industry, and now that it was stalled, all that money had gone down the drain!

"Chairman Ye, also, Kanduoduo is performing exceptionally well on Nasdaq, and its market value has reached 100 billion US dollars!"

Another leader stood up, looking at the tablet in his hand as he reported!

Ye Xu felt a headache coming on, knowing that the gap between Dongxu Group and Tianchen Group was widening and widening, and he was getting further and further away from becoming the richest man in the south!

And this is just the beginning; the gap will only widen in the future!

When the time comes, because he hasn't achieved any results, Ye Xu will have to hand over his position as the top leader, and maybe Ye Ruqing will take over!

"The main purpose of today's meeting is to stop Ye Jianchen's battery development in the south. Those who want to have dinner with him, do so; those who want to give gifts, do so by any means necessary!"

After explaining these matters, Ye Xu rubbed his temples, feeling very tired. He announced the meeting was adjourned and headed to his office!

In the corridor, he also saw Ye Ruqing, who was on the phone, walking towards him!

Ye Ruqing, dressed in a black office suit and with shoulder-length short hair, was talking and laughing into the phone: "Yes, I'm pregnant! I'm so happy, darling. I'm coming to your place tonight. What? You're going to cook for me? That's great! Yes, yes, I know there are many things I can't eat, I understand!"

While they were talking, she noticed Ye Xu's unpleasant expression. She immediately hung up the phone and walked past him with a dark face.

"Ye Ruqing!"

As they brushed past each other, Ye Xu uttered a cold voice!

"What's wrong!"

Ye Ruqing turned around calmly and looked at Ye Xu: "Chairman Ye, what are your instructions?"

This attitude undoubtedly angered Ye Xu. He was already in a bad mood, and seeing Ye Ruqing made him even worse, because Ye Ruqing and Ye Jianchen were both his potential enemies!

"Making a phone call during work hours? What kind of behavior is that? This is a workplace, not home. Can't you talk about it after get off work?!"

Ye Xu reprimanded him, putting on airs of a leader.

Ye Ruqing almost laughed in anger. She wouldn't even make a phone call. Besides, although she worked at Dongxu Group, she had no power whatsoever. Wasn't it normal for her to slack off at work?

Moreover, she didn't actually want to work at Dongxu Group, but Ye Xu insisted, and Ye Kai also wanted her to work there, so she had no choice but to stay!

"Ye Xu, did you not sleep well last night, or did Ye Jianchen upset you again? Why are you taking it out on me!"

Ye Ruqing didn't give Ye Xu any face and addressed him by his name directly!

"Ye Ruqing, I'm your boss!"

Ye Xu corrected him seriously!

"Ye Xu, I'm your older sister!"

Ye Ruqing retorted without backing down: "If you don't like me, then fire me! Honestly, you suffered a loss at Ye Jianchen's hands, so you're afraid to confront him and instead bully us older sisters, right? I won't fall for that!"

"you!"

Ye Xu's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light!

At this moment, Uncle Wu and the others arrived after hearing the news. Ye Ke'er was among them. She quickly rushed over and grabbed Ye Ruqing, saying, "Big sister, what are you doing? Apologize quickly!"

"Ye Ke'er, just because you like to fawn over him doesn't mean I do!"

Ye Ruqing didn't give Ye Ke'er any face either, sneering, "Besides, don't you think it's ironic? When we were kids, he was our little shadow, and now he's bossing us around. I don't believe you can swallow this!"

"Big sister, please stop talking!"

Ye Ke'er's pretty face flushed red with anxiety, then she looked at Ye Xu and said, "Chairman Ye, please don't mind her, she's talking nonsense. I apologize on her behalf!"

"Ke'er, look at the state you're in! He's your brother, and you're apologizing to him!"

Ye Ruqing continued her sarcastic remarks, then turned and walked away in her high heels: "In short, if you don't like me, fire me. If you're too scared, then stop pretending to be a big shot in front of me!"

Ye Xu stared grimly at Ye Ruqing's arrogant retreating figure, then said to Ye Ke'er, "Call Dad. I refuse to believe Dad can't handle her!"

"I'll call right away, Mr. Ye. Don't be angry, go and get some rest!"

Ye Ke'er quickly calmed Ye Xu down and then went after Ye Ruqing!
