270: Chapter 265: Young Master En, I hope you’ve been well.
“Honey, this waterlon is really tasty.
Are you sure you don’t want to try so?” Ye Tian asked with a chuckle while driving.
Yun Xinyan sighed.
This trip to the provincial city was dood to fail; how could she be in the mood for waterlon?
What worried her the most was not the inability to et Mr.
Fei but rather the fear that Mr.
Fei, upon seeing the large waterlon, would kick them out, which would be utterly embarrassing.
The McLaren, truly a top-notch sports car, soon soared to 200 mph under Ye Tian’s crazy driving and was still accelerating.
Yun Xinyan yelled to stop multiple tis, but Ye Tian completely ignored her, saying, “Don’t worry, honey.
Your husband here is a car god, what’s 200 mph?
It’s just the beginning.”
The journey from Jiangcheng to the provincial city takes three hours, but Ye Tian made it in 40 minutes; one could only imagine what terrifying speeds he must have reached during the trip.
When the car ca off the highway, Yun Xinyan swore to herself never to ride in Ye Tian’s car again.
Driving the McLaren through the bustling provincial city and finally arriving at the quiet and peaceful villa district, it only took Ye Tian three minutes to stop the supercar in front of Mr.
Fei’s ho.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, Old Man Fei lives in such a large villa all by himself.
He sure knows how to enjoy life.
With this location and the decoration, this villa must be worth at least 50 million—a real rich guy, huh, heh heh.”
Ye Tian looked at the villa, clicking his tongue in amazent.
“Keep your voice down!
If Mr.
Fei hears you, it would really be terrible,” Yun Xinyan wished she could gag Ye Tian’s mouth.
“Afraid of what?
Let him hear, I don’t care,” Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Yun Xinyan really wanted to smack him to death.
Was he here to help or to cause trouble?
Who talks like that?
She couldn’t understand what had co over her to engage in such tomfoolery with him; her good reputation was ruined in an instant.
Ye Tian, with the waterlon in his right hand, knocked on the door loudly and rudely, as if it were his own ho.
Yun Xinyan felt like crying without tears, thinking to herself whether he was knocking or smashing the door.
All hope was lost; Yun Corporation’s image in Mr.
Fei’s eyes was completely destroyed.
The luxurious carved solid wood door soon opened, and the sa old lady who had received them last ti peeked out.
The old lady frowned and asked, “Young man, who are you looking for?
Just knock on the door, why do you have to knock so hard?”
She was obviously irritated by Ye Tian’s violent knocking.
Yun Xinyan quickly went over to explain, saying they were there to visit Mr.
Fei and wondering if he could et with them.
Her attitude turned unexpectedly respectful and her tone surprisingly gentle, afraid of leaving a bad impression.
However, Ye Tian was quite nonchalant, saying, “Hurry and let Old Man Fei co out.
I’ve even brought him a waterlon; this thing should be eaten while it’s fresh.”
The old lady frowned imdiately and asked, “Do you have an appointnt?”
“Appointnt?
What appointnt?” Ye Tian said carelessly.
Yun Xinyan felt a surge of despair, thinking it was all over; it would be more dignified to leave on their own than to be swept out.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.
Upon hearing Ye Tian’s comnts, the old lady looked visibly annoyed and closed the door right then, adding, “Mr.
Fei has a rule, no appointnt, no eting.”
The hardwood security door slamd shut, leaving Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan standing foolishly outside.
Ye Tian tilted his head, touched his nose, and murmured to himself, “Ah, man, that Old Man Fei really puts on airs, doesn’t he?”
Seeing the door closed in their faces left Yun Xinyan without face, and she could only pull Ye Tian away, saying she knew this would happen.
But Ye Tian didn’t leave; instead, he was touching the security door as if contemplating sothing.
“What are you thinking about?
Let’s go,” Yun Xinyan asked.
“Nothing,” Ye Tian said while touching the wooden door.
“I was just thinking, how much force would be needed to break through this security door without hurting my own fist.”
As he said this, he slowly raised his right hand and clenched his fist, about to strike the door, but Yun Xinyan quickly grabbed his hand to stop his rash action.
“Ye Tian, have you lost your mind!?” Yun Xinyan exclaid.
Just then, the hardwood security door suddenly opened, and the old lady who had just shown disgust was now smiling as she ca out, speaking with an apologetic and respectful tone, “Mr.
Ye, I’m really sorry about just now.
I didn’t know you were the person Mr.
Fei was waiting for.
Please don’t take offense if there was any; it was all my fault.
Please co in, Mr.
Fei has been waiting for a long ti.”
Seeing the old lady’s change from dismissive to deferential left Yun Xinyan utterly stunned.
What was going on?
The old lady had turned as quickly as flipping a book.
Just a mont ago, she had been so cold, saying they couldn’t enter without an appointnt, but now it was as if she had beco a completely different person, which was astonishing.
Ye Tian comnted nonchalantly, “So now you know to invite in?
I’m sorry but Mr.
Fei has a rule; he doesn’t et without an appointnt, so I can’t go in.”
Yun Xinyan nearly fainted.
They were allowed to enter and yet Ye Tian refused; what was he playing at?
The old lady’s face turned bright red at once, and she hurriedly explained, “Mr.
Ye, such an esteed visit from you, how dare I ask for an appointnt.
Without an appointnt, Mr.
Ye can still go in.”
“I won’t go in.” Ye Tian stood his ground.
To get Ye Tian inside, the old lady pleaded in every possible way, short of kneeling before him, but Ye Tian simply wouldn’t budge.
Left without options, the old lady had to enter the villa alone.
After the old lady left, Yun Xinyan tried to persuade him, “Ye Tian, let’s go in; don’t be stubborn like a child.
Handling the important matter at hand is what’s crucial.”
Settling matters with Elder Fei was of the utmost importance; Yun Xinyan really couldn’t afford to play gas.
Ye Tian shook his head, explaining, “Negotiations require this kind of imposing attitude; otherwise, what’s there to talk about?
I won’t bother going in unless Elder Fei cos out personally.”
Hearing this, Yun Xinyan stomped her feet in frustration, thinking to herself that this demand was way too arrogant.
Who was Elder Fei?
He was a renowned entrepreneur in the provincial city, and seeing him was difficult enough.
How could he possibly co downstairs to et them?
They weren’t the governor.
Ye Tian’s various actions were truly vexing to Yun Xinyan, and just as she was in a quandary, the villa’s security door opened again.
This ti, it wasn’t the old lady who ca out but a ruddy-faced old man.
The elder wore a neatly pressed Zhongshan suit and held a jade-dragon-carved cane.
His hair was white but combed neatly and shining; his face was rosy, and he wore a slight smile, naturally exuding an aura of authority.
Yun Xinyan imdiately recognized the man; it was the very Elder Fei she had been so eager to et.
Elder Fei didn’t co out alone; following behind him, apart from the old lady, was a dium-built elder, dressed in an expensive traditional Chinese garnt, with a smile playing on his lips.
He greeted Ye Tian first, “Mr.
Ye En, arriving without even a phone call, you kept and old Fei waiting.”
This smiling elder was also well-known to Yun Xinyan; he was none other than the Taishan Beidou of Jiangcheng’s business community, a legend in his own right, Elder Lai, Lai Dongming!
Yun Xinyan knew that whether it was the seldom smiling Elder Fei or the ever-smiling Elder Lai, each was a legendary figure.
To et either one of them, the waiting fee alone would be an astronomical figure.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that anyone who had the support of these two elders would find it impossible not to beco wealthy; with a re flick of their fingers, they could turn a declining company into a thriving one and vice versa.
Seeing the two elders so close and chummy, it turned out they were good friends.
Yun Xinyan was genuinely excited to et two business elders at once.
However, what shocked her most was not the above, but Lai Dongming’s term “Mr.
Ye En.” Yun Xinyan was completely bewildered; how had Ye Tian beco Lai Dongming’s savior?
He had never ntioned this.
Upon hearing Lai Dongming’s words, Ye Tian chuckled, “Elder Lai, you’re quite sothing, sitting comfortably in the villa, making stand at the gate and endure the cold north wind!”
Lai Dongming’s face flushed red, and he coughed.
Glancing at Elder Fei in front of him, he said, “For that, you’d have to ask old Fei.”
Elder Fei quickly explained, “Actually, I’ve been waiting for Mr.
Ye’s call.
I didn’t realize you would arrive so quickly.
We really didn’t know you were here.
This is all Auntie Zhang to bla.”
At this point, his expression hardened, “Auntie Zhang!”
“Master!” Auntie Zhang was trembling, aware of the misfortune coming her way.
Being a nanny in a wealthy household wasn’t easy.
Who should be let in and who shouldn’t was a delicate matter.
A small mistake could lead to serious consequences, as today’s events illustrated.
“Do you realize your mistake?” asked Elder Fei.
“Yes, Master,” Auntie Zhang said, her head lowered.
“This ti I’ll let it go.
You’ll lose this month’s salary.
If it happens again, you won’t need to work for anymore,” Elder Fei said sternly.
Yun Xinyan thought to herself that the rumors were indeed true; Elder Fei was strict with people.
After scolding Auntie Zhang and assigning her to clean the rooms, Elder Fei approached Ye Tian with a smile, “Mr.
Ye, I sincerely apologize for making you wait.
Co, let’s go inside.
I’ve prepared so excellent Longjing tea harvested after the rain.”
Ye Tian said nothing and strutted into the villa, with Elder Fei and Lai Dongming closely following, looking like his attendants.
Not a hint of reluctance could be seen, only respect.
“What on earth is going on?” Yun Xinyan was completely baffled.
Seeing the respectful Elder Lai and Elder Fei, she even began to doubt who was seeking whom.
It seed like the roles had been reversed.
“Am I dreaming?”
But the reality was there, right before her eyes.
Yun Xinyan couldn’t harbor any doubts.
No matter what, as long as Ye Tian could resolve things with Elder Fei, that would be a resounding success.
She had to reward him handsoly when they got ho.
This involved a multimillion-dollar project that affected the happiness of the entire populace of Jiangcheng.
If completed, not only would Yun Corporation earn a substantial profit, but the lives of the common people would also see a significant improvent.
She had to carry on, no matter how difficult it was.
Walking shoulder to shoulder with Ye Tian, Yun Xinyan entered Elder Fei’s villa for the first ti under unprecedented courtesy, chest out and head held high.
Ye Tian’s silhouette seed to grow taller, almost forcing her to look up at him.
Elder Fei’s ho was very large, lavishly furnished and decorated in an antique style.
