As long as you have status, you have status, you have a backer, and you stand firmly at a certain height, those who used to find you pleasing to the eye and wished for you to be utterly defeated will also compliment you with a smile.
She didn't stay in the design department for long. She grabbed her things and was about to leave when she accidentally bumped into Liang Feifan, who had just walked into the CEO's private elevator.
His back flashed by. Bai Lu opened her mouth to call him, but the elevator doors were already closed. She thought about it and walked back into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.
When she reached Liang Feifan's floor, she wanted to give him a call first, but his phone was turned off.
Bai Lu knew this was his private number, but it was unlikely that he would turn off his phone at this time. The more she thought about it, the stranger she felt. She decided to go directly to his office to find him. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was surprised to see a short, fat middle-aged man walking into the office with Liang Feifan side by side.
Bai Lu had been on the Internet for so many years, so she naturally knew very well that in City A, the companies listed on the stock exchange were all big names.
So just by looking at the man's back, she could already tell that he was Ye Zijie.
The current CEO of Ye Group was over middle-aged, but because he had no children, he hadn't retired yet.
Ye Group had been developing rapidly in the past few years, and had always had a lot of business dealings with the Liang Clan.
Bai Lu didn't know that Ye Zijie had a daughter, Ye Lian. She also didn't know that Ye Lian and Liang Feifan had a long history.
But now she knew very well, so she felt even more strange. Ye Zijie took the initiative to look for Liang Feifan... It shouldn't be about work. So, was it because of Ye Lian?
Bai Lu stood hesitantly at the elevator door. She didn't know why, but the feeling of uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
She knew that eavesdropping was really immoral, but the curiosity in her heart was completely aroused. She couldn't just turn around and leave.
Bai Lu couldn't help but lift his feet and slowly walk towards the heavy oak door.
There were only two offices on this floor. The one she used to use was now empty. She stood at the door of the CEO's office and unnaturally brushed her hair behind her ears. Although the conversation wasn't very clear, it still reached her ears intermittently …
"Nephew Liang, you've done a good job here." Ye Zijie sat on the sofa and gave Liang Feifan a thumbs up. He didn't hide his admiration for him at all. "Under your leadership, this EC has helped the Liang Clan earn a lot of money, right?"
Liang Feifan took out a cigarette and toyed with it between his fingers for a while before putting it in the corner of his mouth. He narrowed his eyes, lit the cigarette, and took a puff.
"Uncle Ye, you rarely take the initiative to look for me. Today, you shouldn't just be here to praise me, right?"
Ye Zijie chuckled. "Nephew, you're one of us, so I won't beat around the bush." He sighed and his tone was a little sad. "That darling of mine has been in low spirits recently. She refuses to do anything and stays in her room all day. She's lost a lot of weight. You know, I only have one darling. Seeing her like this, I really … Sigh, my heart hurts so much. Even if I earn a few billion, it won't make up for this kind of pain. You and Lianlian grew up together. That girl listens to you the most. Feifan, you should've helped Uncle Ye at that time and gone to see Lianlian. "
Liang Feifan had already guessed that Ye Zijie taking the initiative to look for him definitely had something to do with Ye Lian. He inhaled and exhaled clouds without batting an eyelid. A large cloud of smoke curled up and covered most of the expression on his handsome face.
Ye Zijie was a cunning old fox. He knew very well that this Liang Feifan was much more difficult to deal with than his father, Liang Jiannan.
If it weren't for his daughter's appearance, Liang Jiannan's lack of movement, and Liang Jingxiao's wedding being a mess, he only felt that he had been set up and couldn't do anything at all. Even if he had evidence against Liang Jiannan in his hands, he couldn't use it carelessly.
Helpless, he could only choose to take the initiative to look for Liang Feifan.
Seeing that he didn't move, Ye Zijie suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to put on a weak smile. "Feifan, I've seen the gossip headlines recently. You also know that Lianlian has been devoted to you since she was young, so those news have a great impact on her. Now, she doesn't want to eat or drink, but she can't bring herself to look for you, so I …"
"Uncle Ye."
Liang Feifan suddenly spoke, his deep voice interrupting Ye Zijie's words. He reached out and flicked the ash from his cigarette lazily. "You know very well the current situation. If I look for Miss Ye again, I'll only give her false hope. It won't do her any good."
Ye Zijie didn't expect him to reject him so bluntly. His face stiffened. He wanted to flare up but couldn't. After pondering for a moment, the fake smile on his face disappeared and he went straight to the point. "Previously, the Liang Clan and the Liang Clan collaborated on a project. Originally, the Ye Clan had six points. Now, I'm willing to give up three points to your Liang Clan."
Everyone in the business world knew how much Ye Zijie valued power. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was an unscrupulous businessman. Whenever Ye Zijie was in charge of a project, he had to carefully plan and never let the Ye Clan suffer a loss.
A person who wouldn't be happy if there were no profits was actually willing to give up three points. When the time came for profits, it wouldn't be a small sum.
Liang Feifan narrowed his deep eyes and calmly inhaled and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
Ye Lian was probably really haggard. Otherwise, Ye Zijie wouldn't have been able to do this.
"Uncle Ye, let's talk about the project on the table." Liang Feifan raised an eyebrow and reached out to crush the cigarette butt. His tone was flat and distant. "The Ye Clan and the Liang Clan have collaborated on more than one or two projects over the years. Everyone supports each other, so Uncle Ye, you don't have to make such a big concession. I know Uncle Ye dotes on Miss Ye a lot, but this matter … I really can't comply with your wishes. I — "
"Liang Feifan!"
Ye Zijie stood up in anger out of humiliation and fiercely interrupted Liang Feifan. "Are you still unwilling to see Lian Lian even if I give you three points? You're still calling her Miss Ye? How many years have you known her? That's not what you used to call her. Tsk. "
Faced with Ye Zijie's anger, Liang Feifan was still as stubborn as ever. He raised his eyebrows. "Uncle Ye, it's not a matter of profit."
"Then what's the problem?" Ye Zijie liked to use his own way of thinking to measure other people's thoughts. He paused as if he was reluctantly parting with something precious. "Alright then, how about this? If you're willing to see my baby, I'll give up all the profits from the project to the Liang Clan. I won't even take the last three points. How about this?"
Liang Feifan pushed away the ashtray in front of him and slowly stood up from the sofa. His slender fingers gently fiddled with his tie as he said expressionlessly, "Uncle Ye, I'll still say the same thing. It's not a matter of money. Sorry, I can't help you. "
Ye Zijie couldn't believe it.
He had already said so much, but Liang Feifan was completely indifferent.
Was this person … still Liang Feifan?
Didn't he use to value profits as much as he did in the past? In the past, he would occasionally meet Liang Feifan at the negotiation table. At that time, he would rack his brains just to fight for that one percent. But now, he was actually so indifferent. All he wanted was for Liang Feifan to see his daughter …
"Feifan, do you have to do this?" Ye Zijie wasn't willing to give up. He asked again, "I gave in so much just to let you see my daughter. Are you unwilling?"
"There's nothing I can do."
Ye Zijie's chubby cheeks trembled. He was obviously furious. He pointed at Liang Feifan and said "you" for a long time without saying anything. After a while, he sneered. "Good! Good! You're really promising! Liang Feifan, I'll definitely make you pay for what you did to me and Lianlian today! "
Ye Zijie stormed off in a huff. Unexpectedly, the moment he opened the door, he saw Bai Lu standing at the door with an equally shocked look on her face.
He had seen Bai Lu's true colors in the newspapers before. Now that they had met face to face, both of them had different expressions on their faces.
Bai Lu didn't have time to hide. She stood at the door, feeling a little awkward.
Ye Zijie, on the other hand, had a look of ridicule on his face after the initial shock.
Some words were stuck in his throat. However, this was EC after all. Liang Feifan was in the office. Ye Zijie had been in the business world for most of his life, so he at least knew how to avoid taboos. He swallowed the vicious words that filled his stomach. In the end, he just snorted at Bai Lu and walked past her to the elevator.
…
Bai Lu pursed her lips and looked down. Her fingers were tightly clenched together.
"Why are you here?" Liang Feifan was a little surprised to see her. However, when he saw her stiff expression, he guessed that this girl had probably heard his conversation with Ye Zijie. He walked up to her, pulled her into the office, and closed the door behind him. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"…" Bai Lu instinctively bit her lower lip. After a pause, she had no choice but to speak. "Feifan, just now … I heard your conversation with Chairman Ye."
"Oh." Liang Feifan responded nonchalantly. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "Did you eat before you came out? Are you hungry now? "
He was obviously trying to change the topic. Bai Lu furrowed her brows. She wouldn't allow him to avoid the topic just now.
"… Actually, you don't have to do this. I've been in EC for so many years. Although I'm not considered part of the headquarters of the Liang Clan, EC is still a subsidiary of the Liang Clan. I know very well that the Liang Clan and Ye Group are inextricably linked. I saw that Chairman Ye was very angry. I was very afraid …"
"What are you afraid of?" Liang Feifan chuckled and reached out to pinch her cheeks. He also helped her smooth out the loose strands of hair around her ears. "Are you afraid that our Liang Clan will go bankrupt without Ye Group?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that I-I'm worried …"
"If that's not what you meant, then you don't have to worry. Although the Liang Clan was founded by my dad, its foundation has been very stable all these years. Besides, your man isn't that useless. Or do you really want me to meet Ye Lian? "
