Chapter 2659

Zhou Andong said in disbelief: "You're not being sarcastic, are you? No matter how many beastly things Ye Jun does, he's still the root of your Ye family. If I really cripple him, are you sure your old man won't come after me to fight to the death?"

"You can rest assured about that." Ye Zhen said: "My grandfather has four grandsons; he doesn't lack Ye Jun. If you really cripple him, I'll even have to thank you. Otherwise, he'll keep causing trouble, and if one day the family can't handle it, we'll all get dragged in."

"Makes sense!" Zhou Andong nodded: "But..."

Ye Zhen said dissatisfied: "Zhou Andong, don't push your luck. I've agreed to all your conditions. If you won't even agree to this small thing, then we can only part ways."

"No no no!" Zhou Andong glanced at the cigarettes and tea on the table, shook his head, and said: "Just three cigarettes and two boxes of tea, and you want me to rack my brain and labor to bring your kids to play? Is my labor really that cheap?"

Ye Zhen raised a slender finger: "One cigarette per month; as for the tea, I can't guarantee it, but getting you a box in three months is definitely no problem."

"Oh!" Zhou Andong rubbed his finger against the short stubble on his chin.

Seeing Zhou Andong's sly and crafty look, Ye Zhen snorted: "Zhou Andong, I warn you—this is already my bottom line. If you dare to open your lion's mouth again, we'll just part ways."

"Deal!" As soon as Ye Zhen's words landed, Zhou Andong slapped the table and readily agreed.

Ye Zhen was stunned by Zhou Andong: "You... you just agreed like that?"

"Ah!" Zhou Andong exclaimed: "Since Ye Four Elder Sister has put it this way, if I don't agree now, I'd really be too ungrateful.

Besides, I, Zhou Andong, can give no face to anyone, including your old man, but I must give face to you, Fourth Elder Sister. Who made me find you pleasing to the eye?"

Ye Zhen is straightforward and not the type to be coy; in modern terms, she's a domineering female CEO through and through. But whenever Zhou Andong's words go off track, she understands he's just joking—yet her face still flushes and her heart races.

"Don't drag me into this useless talk." Ye Zhen couldn't stay any longer, afraid she'd sink deeper: "Alright, I'm leaving. Ye Jun will come out in these few days; I'll notify you then."

Zhou Andong asked: "When are you going to Yangcheng? We've taken the pharmaceutical factory's shares—we can't just eat the meat and not do the work."

Ye Zhen pulled back her stepping foot: "Because of Ye Jun's matter, I can't leave yet, but I'll arrange people to go check the situation first and keep them safe.

You also need to arrange things here quickly. Since we've raised the knife, we must cut through the chaos swiftly, chop the opposition into pieces, and absolutely not give them a chance to linger."

"I think the same way." Zhou Andong nodded: "As long as you keep them safe, I can let loose here and swing my knife down."

Ye Zhen asked: "What do you plan to do?"

Zhou Andong had already prepared a plan, and without hesitation replied: "I'll immediately form a lawyer team and a financial audit team to go to Yangcheng, audit the pharmaceutical factory's finances as shareholders, and simultaneously investigate that incident from back then."

"As long as you have it figured out." Ye Zhen waved her hand: "I'm leaving."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "What's the rush? Finish lunch here before you leave."

"Not eating!" Ye Zhen walked out of the office somewhat flustered.

"Pa pa pa..."

Ye Zhen had just walked out less than two minutes when the door to Zhou Andong's office was knocked again.

"Come in!" Zhou Andong was reading the newspaper until the door was pushed open, then he slightly raised his head—only to see Zhou Qianyi walk in, followed by Kong Weimin and Mu Gao Yu.

Zhou Andong asked: "All settled?"

Zhou Qianyi nodded: "I've already contacted Little Aunt; Mu Changzhang can come whenever."

Zhou Andong asked: "Since everything's settled, why are you looking for me again?"

"Nothing!" Zhou Qianyi said: "You're not signing the contract with that Zhou leader tonight, are you? I came to confirm the banquet specifications."

Zhou Andong said: "Just follow the specifications from yesterday noon."

"Alright, I got it." Zhou Qianyi nodded at Kong Weimin and Mu Gao Yu: "Factory Director Kong, Factory Director Mu, you're busy—I'm heading up."

"You're busy!"

"You're busy!"

Zhou Qianyi is not only a shareholder representative of the woolen mill but also a director, with power far greater than those two factory directors. Because Zhou Qianyi holds one veto power, no matter what decision the factory makes, if she opposes it, it cannot be pushed through.

Back when Zhou Andong sought this veto power, it was for future planning. After all, Jiangzhou Textile Mill only holds ten percent of the shares; once he leaves the woolen mill, who knows what monsters and ghosts the city will arrange to come up.

If someone like Shi Guoqiang and Hu Damu—those scoundrels—were to come, all his painstaking effort and the huge funds invested in the textile mill would go to waste.

Therefore, this veto power is meant to check those monsters and ghosts. No matter who you are, as long as you dare to cause trouble, I'll just veto it—you won't be able to do anything.

Zhou Andong looked at Mu Gao Yu: "When are you leaving?"

Mu Gao Yu replied: "Tomorrow!"

Zhou Andong said: "No need to rush like that—first get your household affairs in order."

"I have my wife at home; I don't need to worry about anything."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Is it that you don't need to worry, or that you simply can't call the shots?"

Mu Gao Yu straightened his waist: "A real man, a true hero—how could he possibly not be in charge of his own household?"

"Hey!" Zhou Andong laughed: "Afraid of your wife? Just admit it—what's there to deny? As the saying goes, only with love comes the fear of loss; fearing your wife isn't shameful—for example, I'm afraid of my wife."

Kong Weimin's mouth twitched: "Factory Director, when are the models coming?"

"Soon." Zhou Andong glanced at the time: "They're not far from here; in another ten or eight minutes, they should arrive."

As Zhou Andong's words fell, the door was knocked: "Come in!"

The office door was pushed open again, and the one who entered was Liu Chunhua.

"Factory Director, I've brought the people for you."

"Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives." Zhou Andong laughed: "Since you're here, let them come in."

Liu Chunhua turned and came to the door: "Come on, Factory Director lets you in."

Three men and three women entered nervously in single file, then stood neatly in front of the desk, all bending at the waist in unison: "Hello, Factory Director."

This made Zhou Andong stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but laugh: "Not bad, your images are all good—just you guys then."
