The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 396 - 396 385 Making Dumplings

396: Chapter 385: Making Dumplings 396: Chapter 385: Making Dumplings Pfft…

Li Ruo burst into laughter, her face flushing red as she glared at Ye Chen, “You bad guy, you actually scared her off!”

“I’m only speaking the truth.

Zhang Bufen has evaded taxes worth at least several billion over these years,” Ye Chen replied with a faint smile, “The reason he left without a word is simply because he has something to hide!”

“Can’t you speak more pleasantly?!” Li Ruo glared at him, clearly displeased.

“Hey hey, just a big rough dude here, I’m used to it!” Ye Chen laughed heartily.

Li Ruo got up and walked to the sofa, then sat down, and said to Ye Chen, “You must be aware of the company’s problems now, right?

As the vice president, shouldn’t you take on the corresponding responsibilities?”

“Mm!” Ye Chen nodded gravely, “The Northern City District project really cannot be delayed any longer.”

“Yes, it’s costing us money every day.

If this continues, Tianya Group will collapse!” Li Ruo said with concern, “We’ve already run out of funds.

The billion from the Shanghai Liu Family that was invested last time is already in, and we have no strength to continue.

I’m afraid this will lead to the workers’ lack of motivation!”

“I’ll solve the funding issue, and I’ll take care of the government affairs now!” Ye Chen knew that there was no time to waste, so he immediately got up.

“Ye Chen!” Li Ruo also stood up quickly.

“What’s up?” Ye Chen turned to look at Li Ruo.

Li Ruo, with flushed cheeks, walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek, “If it’s too much, just let it go.

Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Tianya Group isn’t everything to me, but you, you are my everything!”

Ye Chen felt a surge of emotion, he took a deep breath as if filled with strength.

Li Ruo’s words indeed provided him with boundless motivation.

In his mind, he replayed the sincere moment she had just spoken: Tianya Group isn’t everything to me, but you, you are my everything!

“Mm!” Without need for further words, Ye Chen simply hummed a response and then hurriedly left.

Along the way, Ye Chen had a blissful smile on his face as he drove his Infiniti swiftly towards the City Committee.

The security guard at the entrance, recognizing Ye Chen, was so frightened that he quickly opened the door for him, skipping the standard checks.

Ye Chen had certainly left a lasting impression on the security guards of the City Committee.

These guards would probably never forget Ye Chen for the rest of their lives.

City Secretary’s office.

Jiang Zhonggen was holding a meeting.

Since it was Monday, a party committee meeting was called for, and a large group of people gathered in the meeting room.

When Jiang Zhong’s secretary saw that Ye Chen had arrived, he smiled and said, “Mr.

Ye, you’ve arrived!”

“Mm, I’m here to see Secretary Jiang,” Ye Chen glanced at him and asked, “Where is he?”

“Oh, Secretary Jiang is in a meeting right now!” Secretary Liu hurriedly replied.

“Okay, I’ll wait for him in his office.

Go to the meeting room and let him know I’m here,” Ye Chen waved his hand, then headed towards Jiang Zhonggen’s office.

Probably the entire Jianghuai City had only Ye Chen who dared to speak to Secretary Liu in such a manner.

And Secretary Liu, in his heart, had absolutely no complaints.

He simply ran off towards the meeting room.

Jiang Zhonggen forbade anyone from disturbing him during meetings, but Ye Chen was probably the exception.

As expected, as soon as Jiang Zhonggen heard that Ye Chen had arrived, he immediately declared the meeting over.

The officials who were hunched over the table at the meeting also began yawning and stretching, looking as if they had just woken up.

Jiang Zhonggen hurried towards his office.

“Oh, so Secretary Jiang has finished the meeting?” Ye Chen sat in a chair, legs crossed, leisurely smoking a Giant Panda from Jiang Zhong’s desk, and brewing some of Jiang Zhong’s Da Hong Pao tea.

Too bad it wasn’t a premium grade.

If he wanted to drink premium Da Hong Pao, he probably would have to go to the Supervision Bureau’s Dian Ling for that.

“Heh heh, I heard you were coming, so I hurriedly ended the meeting.

Kid, instead of staying put at Tianya Group, what are you running over here for?” Jiang Zhonggen’s attitude towards Ye Chen had become increasingly favorable because Jiang Zhonggen had a vague feeling that Ye Chen definitely had a very powerful background.

Liu Jiangqiu had made a round trip to Beijing, spreading a lot of money to pull a lot of strings, originally thinking that Ye Chen was undoubtedly doomed.

But unexpectedly, that kid turned the tables at the last minute.

And the people who moved out were from the National Secret Department.

Those capable of mobilizing people from the National Secret Department, besides the big shots in the Central government, I guess there’s no one else, of course, not excluding the head of the Secret Department.

Even if Ye Chen’s connections aren’t with the Central government’s big shots, being able to connect with the head of the Secret Department is also a very impressive background.

Therefore, this further convinced Jiang Zhonggen to cling to Ye Chen, this towering tree.

“Tianya Group is about to go under; if I don’t come looking for you, do you plan to target Tianya Group every day?” Ye Chen’s tone was very domineering; it didn’t sound like he came to ask for help, but to threaten someone.

“What’s the situation?” asked Jiang Zhonggen, pretending to be oblivious.

In fact, he was well aware of the situation at Tianya Group and knew that Liu Junyuan had intentionally targeted Tianya Group, presumably to target Ye Chen.

But Jiang Zhonggen didn’t warn or even try to stop it.

And now, Jiang Zhonggen was acting as if he didn’t know.

The first reason was for fear that Ye Chen would blame him for not having helped before, and the second was to deliberately make Ye Chen come to him, so that Ye Chen would owe him a favor.

Although Ye Chen had once saved his life and protected his official cap, he had also helped Ye Chen a lot.

So, Jiang Zhonggen considered them even.

Now, if he could make Ye Chen owe him a favor, he would certainly be able to go further in his official career.

After all, he was only in his forties now, which was the prime of life.

“The government has restricted Tianya Group, so hurry up and approve it for me!” Ye Chen looked at Jiang Zhonggen and didn’t care whether Jiang Zhonggen was playing any tricks.

Anyway, his purpose was to get back the approval document that Tianya Group couldn’t get.

“Ah, this, I will call right now and ask for you!” Jiang Zhonggen ‘suddenly realized,’ then immediately picked up the phone on his office desk and made several calls to the Supervision Bureau and City Construction Bureau.

Both parties immediately expressed their support for the development of Tianya Group.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhonggen said to Ye Chen with a smile, “Alright, your issue is resolved.

Is there anything else?”

“Nothing much else, but do hurry up the bank loan for me!” Ye Chen simply laid out his demands.

“That…

no problem!” Eager to gain Ye Chen’s favor, Jiang Zhonggen decided to follow through on a good deed, extending it to the fullest.

Soon afterward, the banking side also indicated that they would resume the loan services for Tianya Group as soon as possible, and even stated that the second batch of loan funds would also arrive quickly.

Ye Chen stretched lazily, everything had gone too smoothly, which actually made him feel somewhat uneasy.

“Ye Chen, I’ve done so many things for you, I have to ask you for a favor!” Jiang Zhonggen grinned.

“Just say it!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “You’ve been a huge help this time; whatever you ask, just say it!”

“How’s my son doing with you guys?” asked Jiang Zhonggen with a smile.

“Recently, my son barely talks to me and hardly ever comes home.

Can you ask him to come home more often?

It’s not so much about me, I’m alright, but his mother really misses him.

You know, with the age he’s at, plus with the family planning policy back then, us government employees had to lead by example, so we only had this one child, and his mother always has him on her mind!”

“That’s no problem!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “Coming home often is the right thing to do!”

Having settled the matter, Ye Chen immediately headed back to Tianya Group, where the members of Team One sprang into action again.

Subsequently, the staff of the Northern City District project branch office also started a new round of work, and the project on the construction site began.

The restart of the work came in May; time flew by.

To catch up on the schedule, the workers on the construction site had to work overtime, rushing to finish even at night.

Seeing the Northern City District project kicking off, Ye Chen revealed a relieved smile.

In the afternoon, off work, Ye Chen hurried over to the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

At the Heavenly Reversal Gang, Feng Zhixiao and the others had been discussing upstairs from morning until afternoon.

Not until Ye Chen arrived did this bunch of guys stop their discussion about how to strike at the Qiao Gang.

They had deliberated the whole previous night and now another whole day.

“Brother Chen!” Feng Zhixiao immediately stood up, grinning, “You’re here, we have good news to tell you!”

“What good news?” Ye Chen looked up at them with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

“We’ve come up with a way to attack the Qiao Gang!” Feng Zhixiao said joyfully.

“Oh, let’s hear it!” Ye Chen said, without much interest, which somewhat dampened everyone’s enthusiasm.

Nonetheless, Feng Zhixiao excitedly relayed the plan to Ye Chen.

After glancing at the map drawn up by these goons, Ye Chen laughed, “The plan is pretty good, but…

are you sure the plan can keep up with the changes?”

“Uh…” Feng Zhixiao was taken aback.

“Although it’s important to have a plan when doing things, it’s rare to see one as detailed as yours!” Ye Chen pointed at the map, smiling, “You say that Da Hei will lead people from here to reinforce Yilian Bar.

If they are ambushed along the way, or get lost, failing to arrive within ten minutes, then…

wouldn’t all of you be wrapped up like dumplings?”
