Chapter 702: Cutting Off the Wrist to Survive

~7 min read 1,385 words

"Secondly!" Ye Ning stood up and bowed to Jian Qiu, "I apologize to you on behalf of Ye Jun and my second brother and second sister-in-law, sorry."

Jian Qiu sat there without moving, her face still without any expression.

Ye Zhen's eyebrows twitched. After going back last night, she found many people to understand Jian Qiu. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, you can win a hundred battles. Meeting today, sure enough, it was about the same as what she understood. Beautiful, temperamental, and another thing was that her personality was cold and not easy to talk to.

Facing the indifferent Jian Qiu, Ye Ning's eyes twitched, but after sitting down, a smile remained on her face.

"Another thing is the compensation problem, five million US dollars, equivalent to nearly thirty million RMB..."

"Wrong!" Jian Qiu spoke, "This compensation cannot be calculated according to the official exchange rate, otherwise use US dollars."

The smile on Ye Ning's face stiffened, but it returned to normal in an instant: "Even if the compensation is calculated according to the official exchange rate, the Ye family cannot take out so much money."

"Then you came to find me today just to apologize?" Jian Qiu smiled, "Fine, I accept it." After speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Ye Ning was a bit angry, but still remained calm. After all, she was a soldier, and her determination and willpower were not comparable to ordinary people.

"Such a huge compensation, we definitely cannot take it out. By then, Xiangjiang Qiudongfang will withdraw investment and expose this matter, which will form a negative impact on the overall situation of reform and opening up that cannot be recovered.

We Ye family cannot bear such consequences, but you are a shareholder of Dicos, and also a stakeholder. For private interests, not caring about the overall situation of reform and opening up, how can you stay out of it?

More importantly, your surname is Jian. Some things, you don't want to do, but you can't help it. After all, once this matter is exposed, it will also bring no small negative impact to your Jian family."

"Are you threatening me?" Jian Qiu sneered.

Ye Ning said very seriously: "This is not a threat, but an exposition of facts. You are a smart person, you cannot be unclear about the pros and cons here."

Jian Qiu shook her head: "I am just a small shareholder, it is impossible to influence the decision of the Xiangjiang side."

Ye Ning said very certainly: "I don't need to waive the compensation, just lower it to a reasonable range. I think you must have a way to convince them."

"You can go find my grandfather." Jian Qiu said very simply: "As long as my grandfather agrees, I can convince them, and not want a cent of compensation."

Ye Ning's brows furrowed, including Ye Zhen, full of doubts in her heart. Why go find Jian Zhao Hongzhang? Could it be that the shareholders of Dicos are not Jian Qiu, but the Jian family? Otherwise, Jian Qiu's words were really a bit hard to understand.

"Fine!" Ye Ning hesitated. She didn't expect that the result would be like this. Although she was unwilling, she had no other way, "I will tell the old man after I go back."

Jian Qiu sent Ye Ning and Ye Zhen out the door, watched them get into the car, and turned back to the second floor.

"How is it?" An Jing asked eagerly.

Jian Qiu told the conversation process: "I didn't expect that they would give up on Ye Jun."

"Cutting off the wrist to survive." Zhou Andong sighed, "It seems they have already seen our purpose. Wanting to drag the entire Ye family into the water and stink the Ye family's reputation is really not that easy."

Jian Qiu smiled and said: "Even if we can't stink the Ye family, this time it will make them uncomfortable for a long time."

The Audi 100 was driving at high speed, and no one in the car spoke.

Arriving at the old man's place, parking the car in the courtyard, Ye Zhen looked at Ye Ning.

"Ye Ning, she asked us to find Jian Zhao Hongzhang, what is her purpose?"

Ye Ning pondered and shook her head: "I didn't figure it out either. The only explanation that makes sense is that the shares in Jian Qiu's hands should belong to the Jian family."

Ye Zhen pulled her hair fiercely, then sighed to the sky, "Why do I feel like I'm a fool, knowing there's a problem here, but I can't figure it out no matter what."

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it." Ye Ning pushed open the car door and got out, walking quickly up the steps in front of the gate.

"Wait for me!" Ye Zhen got out of the car and chased after her.

Ye Tuan was looking at documents in the study. Hearing the knock on the door, he didn't even raise his head and said. 【702

"Come in!"

Ye Ning and Ye Zhen walked in; seeing the old man working, they did not disturb him.

Ye Zhen rummaged through boxes and cabinets until she found a box of tea, poured herself a cup first, and then put the rest into her personal bag.

Ye Ning rolled her eyes, went to the bookshelf to pick out a book, and then sat on the sofa to start reading.

Ye Zhen held the teacup, walking around and looking here and there; I don't know how much time passed before Ye Tuan raised his head.

"As soon as you enter my study, you act like a bandit. What did you take from me again?"

Ye Zhen gave a cheeky smile, wandered behind the old man, and diligently massaged his shoulders and back.

"They say a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket, so why do you guard against me like a thief?"

"Hmph!" Ye Tuan snorted, "I guard against you like a thief every single day, and I still can't stop you."

Ye Zhen immediately changed the subject: "Our negotiations with Jian Qiu went very poorly."

"Hmm?" Ye Tuan asked: "How did it go poorly? Did you not explain the stakes involved to her clearly?"

"We did!" Ye Ning said: "But she told us to go find Jian Zhao Hongzhang."

Ye Tuan was stunned, then reached out, picked up his teacup to take a sip, and fell silent for a moment: "This girl is extraordinary."

Ye Ning and Ye Zhen exchanged a glance, looked at Ye Tuan, and asked simultaneously: "What is her goal?"

Ye Tuan looked at his two daughters: "You didn't see it at all?"

Ye Zhen shook her head: "On the way back, I was thinking about this question the whole time."

Ye Ning blushed: "I thought about it the whole way; the most likely possibility is that the Dicos shares don't belong to Jian Qiu personally, but to the Jian family."

"Sigh!"

Ye Tuan sighed: "This time, the price we have to pay might be much greater than just handing over five million US dollars."

Ye Zhen became anxious: "Dad, what exactly is going on?"

Ye Tuan patted Ye Zhen's hand, which was kneading his shoulder: "That girl from the Jian family knows we can't come up with that much money, but for the sake of the Ye family's reputation, we have no choice but to compromise, so she is forcing us to trade other things."

Ye Ning and Ye Zhen realized it, and then both of them shivered simultaneously.

"I didn't expect that little girl to be so insidious." Ye Zhen stared with wide eyes, her teeth-gritting expression looking very fierce, but not at all scary; instead, it was somewhat indescribably cute.

Ye Ning took a deep breath: "Dad, could it be that we..."

"How many years has it been since I sat down calmly to drink tea and play a game of chess with that old thing, Jian Zhao Hongzhang?"

Ye Tuan smiled, "After fighting for decades, I have never suffered a loss, yet in the end, I've been schemed against by that old thing's granddaughter. I hope that old thing doesn't push his luck and make an exorbitant demand."
