Chapter 978: 966 Scumbag Girlfriend Match (End) Late Night

After receiving congratulations from many of his business partners, Old Master Xu finally learned of these matters.

He had never paid attention to Ye Tao, especially after Ye Tao had chosen politics in college.

Upon hearing about this, he immediately had someone fetch Ye Tao’s stock portfolio.

These moves, hailed as those of a stock market legend, had long since spread across the internet.

After thoroughly reviewing the information several times, Old Master Xu ultimately had to admit that his grandson was more outstanding than he could ever have imagined.

As he stared at the glaring print in financial magazines and on the news, the old man was frozen for several minutes, unable to snap back to reality.

In the end, he just leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

It seemed that he had personally pushed away the very person who could have rejuvenated the Xu family.

**

Ye Tao took over Bai Zhe’s company and took the lead in the IT field within two years.

Everybody thought Ye Tao was next in line to become the richest man in Asia.

However, to everyone’s surprise, he transferred the company under his mother’s name and, without taking a cent for himself, dived into officialdom during his junior year of college.

The world of officialdom was not like the business world; it was a place where people were consumed without a trace.

Without cunning, means, and connections, one simply couldn’t survive, and there had been no news of Ye Tao since he entered.

Xu Hongfei had just started to feel relief from the pressure of being compared.

That year, the list of new secretaries was announced.

For ordinary citizens, this meant little, but for businessmen, it was an indicator of the direction the wind was blowing.

Both Xu Hongfei and Old Master Xu were stunned to see the name of the new secretary.

Xu Yunsheng.

It took just two years for him to climb to this position. Nobody knew how many achievements he had made in secret, but just his overt accomplishments were beyond reproach.

The most frightening thing was that he was still so young, yet he had reached such a level in less than two years.

"Good!" Old Master Xu, staring at the live news broadcast for quite a while, could only force out this single word in the end.

To create a business empire in two years, only to inexplicably abandon it and then forge a new political legend.

When Old Master Xu saw the news about Ye’s mother attending business events, he questioned himself countless times.

He indeed knew that both Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu had kept in contact with Ye Tao.

But he had always clung to the prejudice in his heart and never softened his stance. He could almost imagine that if he had not adopted that attitude at the start, perhaps now all of these achievements could have been his.

It was only at this moment that he truly recognized what an extraordinary character his young grandson was.

The young man’s intelligence was beyond everyone’s imagination.

In a fit of frustration, the old man fell ill.

The Xu family also suffered as Bai Zhe’s company expanded, deteriorating day by day.

He had to start calling upon friends from his college days.

"How did Jian Wen’s experiment turn out?" After graduation, Luo Fei went straight to the Military District and hadn’t seen Xu Hongfei for two years.

The two were close friends who had been through life and death together. Now that Xu Hongfei wanted to meet his cousin, of course he would help him arrange a meeting.

The cousin was at his grandfather’s house.

This was a sensitive area, and even Luo Fei’s influence was limited here.

The two were crossing an intersection.

A black car slowly approached from the end of the road.

The guards at the intersection, recognizing the license plate, immediately withdrew their weapons.

Luo Fei, out of the corner of his eye, saw his cousin approach with a smile to greet them and whispered to Xu Hongfei, "This is a big shot from around here; let’s move back a bit."

Xu Hongfei naturally knew that those living here could shake the foundations of Imperial City with a mere stomp of their feet.

He had just taken a step back when he and Luo Fei saw the person getting out of the car and were stunned.

Ye Shaohua.

Since their graduation, there had been no news of Ye Shaohua. They occasionally saw news about her or heard about her legendary brother Ye Tao in group chats among classmates. They had almost forgotten about Ye Shaohua.

Although Jian Wen’s experiments hadn’t made significant progress in recent years, they had garnered some reputation, and even Xu Hongfei had nearly forgotten that he once had such an ex-girlfriend.

"Luo Fei, you’re here. Come on in, Grandpa was just looking for you," Luo Fei’s cousin said, having escorted Ye Shaohua inside before noticing the two standing outside.

"Cousin, Ye Shaohua... why is she here?" Luo Fei finally found his voice again.

"How do you know Miss Ye?" His cousin was momentarily stunned before laughing and remembering, "I almost forgot you were from the same school. As for Miss Ye’s status, it’s inconvenient for you not to know, although it’s known abroad by now. However, she is still a state secret. Alright, let’s go inside."

Xu Hongfei didn’t know how to process everything.

Battered by Bai Zhe’s company and Ye Tao’s successive blows, he was in agony.

To encounter Ye Shaohua unexpectedly added complexity to his feelings, his heart heavy with melancholy.

His hereditary disease was already fairly evident, with frequent attacks. After consecutive setbacks, his physical condition had seriously declined.

Jian Wen, who had become his fiancée, urgently fed him a new drug she had developed.

The effects were not very pronounced.

After such a heavy blow, and busy with various matters, Xu Hongfei’s health plummeted.

When Jian Wen saw that her drug was ineffective, she panicked and started calling hospitals.

At that moment, Mr. Xu pulled out a pill bottle from his pocket, poured out the last pill, and had Xu Hongfei swallow it.

Within ten minutes, as if by American magic, Xu Hongfei’s symptoms completely disappeared.

Xu Hongfei was very aware of his own body.

He knew how long it usually took to recover from an attack, often ending up in the hospital. But this time, the effects were so rapid.

In Jian Wen’s presence, he was too embarrassed to ask, but once alone, he inquired of Mr. Xu about the source of the medication and whether they could order it in bulk.

"No," Mr. Xu immediately shook his head, "This medicine was given to me by Xiaosheng. His sister specially concocted it for him. I once had doctors analyze it, but they said there were several ingredients they couldn’t identify. You know my position; it’s awkward for me to ask for these things from them. Today was the last pill Xiaosheng gave me."

Xu Hongfei sat in the study room, sleepless all night.
