2405 Chapter Zhou Andong, the Best at Making Money

"Are we Ye family still afraid of Zhou Andong?" Ye Jun, blinded by rage, roared with a ferocious face: "If the family really wanted to get me out, would they still need Zhou Andong's approval? What the hell is he? Once I get out, I'll definitely kill him."

"Slap!" Ye Zhen stood up and without hesitation slapped Ye Jun across the face.

Visibly, five red marks appeared on Ye Jun's face. This guy felt his head buzz, saw little stars, and after a while came to, then saw Ye Zhen's icy face.

Ye Jun involuntarily shivered, the scattered rationality quickly returning, instantly calming him down, because he knew his little aunt was angry, and very angry—if he dared to argue again, getting beaten would be minor, but getting out would be hopeless.

"Who do you think you are?" Ye Zhen's tone was icy, her gaze at her nephew devoid of any warmth: "Do you think our Ye family can really cover the sky with one hand?"

At this moment, Ye Zhen was pondering a question: whether getting Ye Jun out was truly the right choice.

"Ye Jun!" Ye Zhen stared at Ye Jun, her face so cold it made him somewhat afraid: "You know, what height has Zhou Andong reached nowadays?"

Ye Zhen spoke gently, yet with strong pressure—Ye Jun, who had been shadowed since childhood, shrank his neck: "Don't say it's you, Ye Jun; even your grandfather couldn't move Zhou Andong.

Besides, you've forgotten how you got in, haven't you? With your IQ, Zhou Andong's methods could send you in the first time, and he could send you in the second. If you provoke his true wrath, Zhou Andong absolutely has the capability to make you eat a peanut."

Ye Zhen said it all in one breath, turned back, and sat down again: "Don't think the family will protect you when that time comes. Now our family is allied with Zhou Andong—even if he sends you to the execution ground, the family won't side with you against him. Because the benefits Zhou Andong brings to our family, eight hundred of you couldn't match."

Ye Zhen's words were like arrows, puff puff piercing Ye Jun's heart, leaving his heart full of holes.

"Little—little aunt!" Ye Jun, utterly disbelieving, gritted his teeth: "What virtue or ability does that country bumpkin Zhou Andong have to become our Ye family's ally?"

Seeing her obstinate nephew, Ye Zhen laughed in anger: "One mouthful of country bumpkin, one mouthful of country bumpkin—how noble are you, Ye Jun? That country bumpkin Zhou Andong acquired Sony Entertainment, founded the Yu Gong Group, developed VCD high-tech products, mastered cutting-edge technology patents—even Sony has to pay him royalties.

And noble comrade Ye Jun, you broke the law and are still serving time in prison. If it weren't for me begging that country bumpkin Zhou Andong, if it weren't for the family paying a considerable price, even if you got out in three years, he could still send you back in—do you believe that?"

Ye Jun opened his mouth; he considered his feud with Zhou Andong irreconcilable. But he never imagined that in just one year inside, so much had happened outside, and the family had actually become allies with Zhou Andong.

Could it be, could it be that the sun outside is already rising in the west? Otherwise, how did the world become so magical? Also, why do I feel that whenever I curse Zhou Andong, little aunt's anger suddenly spikes? This feels unreal. Is it just because we're allies that she reacts this way?

"Enough, I won't waste words with you anymore." Ye Zhen hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to get Ye Jun out. She worried that after his release, not knowing his limits, he'd cause trouble for Zhou Andong.

But then she thought: with Zhou Andong's methods, handling this dimwit Ye Jun is as easy as pinching. Besides, I'm here too. If Ye Jun really doesn't know good from bad, I don't mind slapping his face swollen.

"Your conditions for release, besides apologizing over drinks, also include the two shop lots given by Husky—one for Jian Qiu, one for An Jing."

"Impossible!" Upon mentioning giving away those two shop lots, Ye Jun became agitated again. It was precisely because of those two shop lots that the subsequent chain of events occurred, landing him here.

Ye Zhen was nearly out of patience: "Ye Jun, I warn you, my patience is limited. If you oppose again, I'll leave immediately."

Ye Jun immediately straightened up. Ye Zhen coldly snorted: "Now Zhou Andong is the woolen mill factory director, and the woolen mill is about to be reformed, with its subsidiary Jinshi Guang Nian Woolen Clothing Factory being top priority. So, Zhou Andong proposed a third condition: I must invest in Jinshi Guang."

Ye Jun was stunned, because in his view this is a good thing—it's Zhou Andong's condition for releasing him, and he couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Ye Jun's bewildered look, Ye Zhen sighed: "The woolen mill is the Yin family's backyard garden; Zhou Andong serving as its director has already put him at odds with the Yin family like fire and water.

Moreover, since Zhou Andong took office, he's swept the mill's leadership, including the secretary and factory director, arresting over forty people big and small, and possibly more will be arrested later.

So, if I invest in Jinshi Guang, it's equivalent to boarding Zhou Andong's ship. In the future, Zhou Andong's conflict with the Yin family will inevitably see our Ye family siding with Zhou Andong, fighting side by side."

Ye Jun stared blankly at Ye Zhen, struggling to digest her words, and after a while his face turned somewhat pale.

Seeing Ye Jun's state, Ye Zhen's icy expression softened slightly: "Now, we and Zhou Andong are no longer merely allies—we're in the same boat. At least, when facing the Yin family, we have no choice."

Saying this, Ye Zhen stood up, approached Ye Jun, and patted his shoulder: "So, after Jinshi Guang's reform, you will go to Jinshi Guang to serve as a director."

Hearing he was to serve as director of Jinshi Guang, Ye Jun felt dazed, then quickly sobered, his face full of ecstasy: "Little aunt, you said let me serve as director of Jinshi Guang?"

"Yes!" Ye Zhen nodded: "But this director position of yours has no management rights, no voting rights."

"Huh?" The Ye family was dumbfounded: "No……no, little aunt, no management rights, no voting rights—what's the point of making me this director? Even as a figurehead, you should at least check my appearance—I'm not even worth a dog holding a flower."

"Pfft!" Ye Zhen couldn't hold back her laughter, also her first laugh upon entering the interview room: "You still have some self-awareness."

Ye Jun pouted: "At home, I'm too lazy to even look in the mirror."

"Not at all!" Ye Zhen's mood inexplicably improved: "My great-nephew still has room to be ugly enough to be unseeable."

Ye Jun muttered: "You'd have been better off not saying that."

Ye Zhen didn't hear clearly, nor did she bother, but continued earnestly: "Jun'er, making money is not blameworthy; nowadays with reform and opening up, many people go into business, including not a few bureau- and division-level leading cadres.

"But we must understand one principle: every penny should be earned cleanly and purely. Only then will we spend money with a clear conscience.

And on this land beneath our feet, the best at making money is Zhou Andong. So, letting you serve as director at Jinshi Guang will let you follow Zhou Andong to learn properly—just learn a bit, and becoming a multimillionaire in the future won't be difficult."
