Chapter 111: Do not miss, do not think, do not search!

"Chairman Ye!"

Bai Yanfeng stepped forward and called out respectfully.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, they also stood up one after another, cupped their fists, and shouted in unison: "Chairman Ye!"

Hearing these shouts, Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Although he had not wanted to take over this mess before, after thinking about it carefully, if he did not develop his own power, it would be truly difficult for him to gain a firm foothold in Tianhai on his own.

And the White Phoenix Society was precisely a breakthrough point!

Relying on the position of Chairman of the White Phoenix Society, he could easily establish himself in Tianhai!

But wanting to sit firmly in the position of Chairman would certainly not be that easy.

When he arrived, he had realized that there would definitely be people who were unconvinced.

And today's little performance was aimed at establishing his own prestige!

Only in this way could he smoothly carry out his work!

After returning to the conference room, everyone sat quietly in their seats, waiting for Ye Feng, the new Chairman, to speak.

Ye Feng sat at the very front, first cleared his throat, and then asked: "What are the pillar industries of the White Phoenix Society?"

As soon as his voice fell, that middle-aged man at the Qi Strength Peak Stage stood up and replied respectfully: "Chairman Ye, our White Phoenix Society's main industries are lending, gambling dens, and entertainment."

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded, waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then continued: "Starting from today, stop all gray industries!"

Once these words were spoken, a look of shock appeared on the faces of everyone in the conference room.

If the gray industries were stopped, wouldn't only the entertainment industry be left?

And how could this one industry support such a massive White Phoenix Society?

Ye Feng seemed to see their worries and immediately added: "I am not asking you to give up gambling dens and lending, but all of this must be conducted on the basis of complying with the law!"

"Things like violent debt collection and treating human life like grass—these are absolutely not allowed to happen!"

The people in the conference room heard this, and the shock on their faces eased slightly, but some still couldn't help asking: "Chairman Ye, if we don't collect debts violently, what should we do if those who owe money refuse to pay?"

Ye Feng glanced at the man, his tone carrying a hint of coldness: "Debts must be repaid; it is a matter of natural justice!"

"This is now a society ruled by law. If someone refuses to pay, we can resolve it through legal channels, not by using violent means!"

"From today on, the White Phoenix Society must walk the righteous path, not live by fighting and killing!"

Hearing this, everyone perked up.

Having worked in gray industries for so long, turning over a new leaf was truly a first-time thought!

This young man had truly given them too many shocks today!

Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Feng continued: "I know you might feel that doing this will lose you a lot of profit."

"But I want to tell you that the future of the White Phoenix Society can never be supported by gray industries."

"What we must do is build a legal, formal enterprise and let the White Phoenix Society become an influential presence in Tianhai City and even the whole country!"

His voice was resonant and powerful, full of confidence and determination.

The people in the conference room were infected by his momentum and nodded in agreement one after another.

Bai Yanfeng stood up, his tone carrying a hint of respect: "Chairman Ye, we support your decision, but as for how to transform specifically, we still need you to give us clear instructions!"

Ye Feng nodded, his tone carrying a hint of composure: "First, we must establish a legal department to specifically handle debt disputes and legal issues."

"Second, gambling dens must be transformed into formal entertainment venues, and lending business must also be conducted within the framework of the law."

"Finally, we must vigorously develop the entertainment industry and strive to gain a firm foothold in Tianhai City!"

The people in the conference room heard Ye Feng's plan and nodded in agreement one after another.

Seeing no one refute, Ye Feng spoke again: "If no one has any objections, we will move on to the next topic—strength!"

"Only strength is the key for a gang like ours to gain a firm foothold!"

"Judging from today's battle, your strength... is really pathetic!"

As soon as his words fell, everyone in the conference room showed a hint of embarrassment and shame on their faces.

Indeed, today Ye Feng had easily defeated all challengers with his own power; their strength was simply vulnerable before Ye Feng!

Ye Feng continued: "Therefore, I have decided that after the reforms are completed, I will take you for special training, striving to raise your strength by one level within a year!"

As soon as his voice fell, the whole room suddenly boiled over.

Everyone looked at Ye Feng excitedly, their eyes full of anticipation.

If they could really raise their strength by one level, their strength would certainly not be weaker than the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, and it was not impossible to even surpass them!

At the very least, in the next Territory Contention Battle, they would definitely not be ranked at the bottom anymore!

Seeing everyone's reaction was so intense, Ye Feng waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down: "Alright, today's meeting ends here. Everyone, follow what I said and complete the reforms as soon as possible. Meeting adjourned!"

After speaking, he walked straight out of the conference room.

Just as he walked out of the conference room, a stunningly beautiful woman walked toward him.

She was wearing a long white dress, her temperament was cold and detached, and there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

The moment the two brushed past each other, Ye Feng frowned, always feeling that this woman looked familiar, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"Forget it, I won't think about it."

Ye Feng shook his head, walked straight to the parking lot, and drove his car home.

After returning home, Ye Feng pushed the door open, only to find that the house was empty.

His mother, Shen Yurou, was not at home, but there were three sweaters, a letter, and a Jade Pendant on the table.

Ye Feng frowned, walked over, and picked up the sweaters, discovering that these were the very sweaters his mother had been knitting for the past few days.

Afterward, he picked up the letter on the table, opened it, and saw only a few short sentences inside: "Feng'er, Mom is leaving!"

"Ling'er is still young; as the eldest in the family, you must take good care of Ling'er!"

"Besides, Xiao Ran is a good girl; you must treat her well. If I find out you dare to bully her, see how I deal with you!"

"Finally, do not miss me, do not think of me, do not look for me!"

"Signed: Your loving mother!"

Seeing the contents of the letter, Ye Feng's heart sank abruptly, and his fingers tightened involuntarily on the letter paper.

In his mind, his mother's unusual behavior over the past few days instantly surfaced—knitting a sweater, strange words, urging him to take good care of himself and Ling'er...

"Mom... where exactly did you go?"

Ye Feng whispered to himself, his heart filled with unease and doubt.

He immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed his mother's number, but from the other end of the line came a cold prompt: "The user you have dialed is powered off..."
