Ye Tianmingâs eyes flashed. Suddenly, he smiled faintly and asked, âBrother Bing, do you need me to peel oranges? Or cut some apples? â
Xiao Bing asked, âWhy donât you give me a direct answer?â
Ye Tianming took out an orange out from the bag, peeled it with his hand, and said softly, âIn the Ye Family, there are three people in my generation, namely Ye Xinyi, Ye Tianming and Ye Xiaoxi. I am the only male descendant so the position of chairman belongs to me. There wonât be any competition between me and my sister.â
Xiao Bing sighed emotionally, âYou are right. Normally, you will be the heir of the Ye Family enterprise and the backbone of the entire Ye Family. However, Ye Xinyi is almost as good as you and Ye Xinyi is very ambitious. Do you think your sisters will let you take over the position of chairman so easily? â
Ye Tianming would definitely understand what Xiao Bing was trying to say. Although Ye Tianming appeared to be standing aloof from worldly affairs, Xiao Bing knew that he was hiding his true feelings. Ye Tianming kept his cards close to his chest and no one could read his mind.
Compared to Ye Xinyi, Xiao Bing hoped that Ye Tianming could become the head of the Ye Family. After all, he had a good relationship with Ye Tianming and Ye Tianming treated Yezi better. It seemed that he treated others more sincerely and kindly. Therefore, Xiao Bing wanted to remind him.
Ye Tianming put down the orange peel and handed the orange to Xiao Bing. He smiled and said, âAs what you have said, Iâm unlikely to let my sister take up the position of chairman because I am the only male descendant in my family. This guarantees that the family business will still belong to the Ye Family in the future. Even if my elder sister is very capable, she doesnât have any say. Also, even if there are some setbacks, it doesnât matter to me. When I become chairman, my elder sister will still be my elder sister and I will still be her younger brother. Our conflict will cease to exist. â
Xiao Bing said emotionally, âTianming, I actually underestimate you. You fight for your own rights. You are more confident than I have imagined.â
Ye Tianming smiled, âThe head of a family and the chairman of a large corporation should be wise, tolerant and confident.â
âWell, I believe you have all these merits.â Xiao Bing sighed. âYe Bancheng has indeed raised excellent children. Even though your sister is more cunning, all of you are smart and confident. What do you think your elder sister will do next? â
Ye Tianming said, âShe will collaborate with the directors on her side of the company and try to intimidate other directors so to win the selection. Well, this is just one of them⊠On the other hand, she will work on my father, who is very important. To be honest, I canât think of any way that she can use to influence my father to support her. I guess she will sweet-talk my father, but it wonât be of much help.â
âTo put it bluntly, your elder sister has lost?â
âYou can say so.â
Ye Tianming wiped his hands and smiled slightly. He said, âThere is no winning or losing, per se between family members. If my father doesnât mind having his company falls into the hands of other people, I might as well directly give my elder sister the position of chairman.â
Ye Tianming looked at Xiao Bing and asked, âBrother Bing, do you think there is anything more important than human feelings in this world?â
Xiao Bing shook his head. He looked at Ye Tianming and said with a wry smile, âTo be honest, Ye Tianming, I canât tell whether you are speaking the truth.â
Ye Tianming stared at Xiao Bing and said seriously, âI will prove to you one day that I am not the kind of person who sets my sights on my fatherâs legacy. To me, relationships are more precious than anything else.â
Ye Tianming walked towards the window slowly and opened it. Looking at the gloomy weather outside, his tone was also full of melancholy. He said, âItâs going to rainâŠâ
The status of Yeâs group in Jiang City resembled or even surpassed the status Li Jiacheng had in Hong Kong. Although Li Jiacheng was the richest man in Hong Kong and was the richest Chinese, Hong Kong was a place where rich and powerful families gather. Although no one was richer than Li Jiacheng, some were catching up to him.
Jiang City was different. Ye Bancheng was a household name in Jiang City. Half of the wealth in Jiang City belonged to the Ye Family. The Ye Family had businesses across multiple industries, such as entertainment, real estate, manufacturing, retail, etc. Ye Family had branches all over Jiang City, Province H and even in the outskirts of Province H.
It could be said that the status of the Ye Family even exceeded that of the municipal party committee secretary of Jiang City. If Ye Family collapsed, the economy of Jiang City would inevitably retrogress to its former state a decade ago. This was also the reason why Master Hou feared a little of Ye Bancheng.
Since Ye Family was a joint-stock company, Ye Bancheng held 51% of the shares and the rest were distributed among the six shareholders. The second largest shareholder was Zhang Mingzhi. He was a pioneer who fought alongside with Ye Bancheng. Zhang Mingzhi is now very ill, so he had given all his shares to his son, Zhang Haide.
Zhang Haide had 15% of the shares, but this 15% was nothing in the eyes of Yeâs family. 20% or 30% of the shares were nothing in the eyes of the Ye Family, let alone 15%. Zhang Haide had to listen to Yeâs family as Yeâs family owned 51% and the vast majority.
However, the situation now had become somewhat intricate. Ye Bancheng gave Ye Xinyi 10% of the shares and Ye Xiaoxi 5% of the shares when he was seriously ill. He probably wanted to make plans for the future. If he died, Ye Tianming would inherit the legacy. However, in this way, the rest of Ye Xinyiâs and Ye Xiaoxiâs life would be secured.
However, with the support of all other shareholders and her 10% of the shares, Ye Xinyi would then occupy the majority. She would then become the chairman of the Ye Family.
Ye Bancheng could not have imagined this. The reason why he dared to give the shares to Ye Xinyi was that Ye Xinyiâs surname was Ye. Also, he didnât think that the shareholders would go against his will. After managing the company for so many years, no one dared to challenge the Ye Banchengâs authority. These shareholders would choose the chairman as per Ye Banchengâs decision.
This was the confidence of a king. However, regardless of how capable the king was, his will, authority and everything would vanish after he died.
Although Ye Bancheng was still alive, he had collapsed. This was Ye Xinyiâs only chance, although it seemed slim.
When Ye Tianming was talking Xiao Bing, Ye Xinyi had left the company secretly. She arrived at Zhang Haideâs personal villa.
Ye Xinyi disguised herself and was escorted by masters into Zhang Haideâs villa. A servant came over and said respectfully, âThe owner just had a guest. Please proceed to the ownerâs room.â
Ye Xinyi left her bodyguards in the hall and walked to the second floor alone. She found Zhang Haideâs room easily. She pushed open the door and went in.
Zhang Haide was watering the pot in the room. When he saw Ye Xinyi coming in, he immediately smiled and said, âBig Missy is finally here.â
Ye Xinyi took off her hat, glasses and mask. She walked towards Zhang Haide and stood by the window. She had a charming smile on her face. She said, âBrother Zhang is in a good mood.â
âYes. I think growing plants and living a rich manâs life are far better than scheming against one another.â
Zhang Haide put the watering can down and looked at Ye Xinyi. He said, âLike father, like daughter. The chairman didnât know that he had raised such a good daughter. After the chairman fell ill, she began to go against the chairmanâs will.â
Ye Xinyi said, âThroughout the ages, winner takes all. Although Ye Tianming is excellent, he is kind and soft. He is not suitable to be the chairman of the company. He canât push the company to greater heights. Hence, I should take over.â
Zhang Haide smiled and said, âIn any case, Big Missy is ambitious. You are a heroine. I admire you. Just that⊠my father has always been loyal to the chairman. Although he has transferred all the shares to me, if I really do it, I am afraidâŠâ
Zhang Haide sighed. âI am afraid that I will send him to an early grave.â

âEveryone is bound to die.â Everyone would be fascinated by Ye Xinyiâs charming smile. Upon listening to Ye Xinyiâs words, Zhang Haide was not angry.
Ye Xinyi placed her tender, soft hands on Zhang Haideâs body. She looked at Zhang Haide seductively and provokingly. She said in a rapturous manner, âIf you have me, who do you think it is more important, an old man who is going to die or a beautiful woman like me, who is standing in front of you?â
Zhang Haide became breathless. He started to breathe heavily and his eyes reddened. He looked at Ye Xinyiâs smug smile. He shook his head vigorously and stepped back. He looked away and said loudly, âBig Missy, You are a terrible person. After this transaction, I think we should mind our own business. So⊠Big Missy, donât tease me anymore. I am afraid I canât control it.â
Ye Xinyi grinned and pulled out a pink satchel. She took a document out and gave it to Zhang Haide.
