The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 500 - 500 485 Taking Offense

500: Chapter 485: Taking Offense 500: Chapter 485: Taking Offense For this kind of argument, most of those in agreement were employees, while those who disagreed were naturally all cadres, especially among the lower ranks.

For instance, the supervisors or business managers, whose titles were involved.

They were right on the boundary between ordinary employees and cadres.

If they ate at the employee cafeteria, it couldn’t possibly reflect their status; thus, their reaction was the most intense.

Nevertheless, the department heads had not a word of complaint.

However, as the reform of the cafeteria continued, the controversy soon passed, and the funds from the cadre cafeteria were used in the reform of the entire cafeteria, which naturally improved the food.

The cafeteria hired a new head chef, and with the two head chefs controlling the kitchen, the quality of the food improved.

Whenever someone at Tianya Group mentioned the cafeteria, people always remembered Ye Chen, who, in a burst of anger, had smashed the glass of the cadre cafeteria.

Even years later, a portrait of Ye Chen in a black suit, holding a cigarette, still hung in the cafeteria.

Ye Chen became the first person to break the corporate hierarchy at the company.

As such, he became an object of admiration for everyone at Tianya Group.

Although Liu Shang, Fang Fei, and others did not get to eat at the cadre cafeteria, they were happy.

From that act of Ye Chen, they saw his sincerity and also saw that he was someone who considered issues from the perspective of ordinary employees.

Perhaps this had to do with Ye Chen’s roots in the grassroots level.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am truly sorry that you didn’t get to eat at the cadre cafeteria today!” When they returned to the office, Ye Chen looked apologetic.

“Vice President Ye, you’re too polite!” Little Ai giggled, “Today was the happiest we’ve been eating cafeteria food!”

“Yes, Ye Chen, you are really great!” Fang Fei smiled, the little girl had adjusted her feelings, but deep down, she couldn’t forget Ye Chen.

She liked Ye Chen, and it was the kind of deep-seated affection.

The last time Ye Chen killed Liu Junyuan for her, she had fallen deeply in love with this righteous man, even though he wasn’t hers.

“Alright, I’ll treat you all next time when we go out!” Ye Chen smiled and said, “We’ve had our fill, so let’s rest up and ready ourselves for work!”

“Yes!” Group one was the most enthusiastic under Ye Chen’s leadership, and their performance was the highest in the Tianya Group.

The once ordinary group one started undergoing unusual changes in its data from the time Ye Chen joined.

While everyone was resting, Lin Ziwen suddenly came to group one, informing Ye Chen that Li Ruo had requested his presence.

Ye Chen could only hurry along with Lin Ziwen to the twentieth floor.

Ye Chen asked cheerily, “Assistant Lin, what does Mr.

Li want from me?”

“Don’t worry; it’s definitely not to criticize you!” Lin Ziwen smiled at Ye Chen, “You did great today.

You’ve earned everyone’s good opinion.

Although some will resent you, they are just a minority.

I support you!”

“Hehe, Assistant Lin, if those people heard you say that, they’d hate you to death!” Ye Chen laughed.

“What’s there to be afraid of!” Lin Ziwen frowned, “If I were in the cafeteria, I’d say the same, full of righteousness!”

“Okay, I’ll give you that chance later!” Ye Chen grinned.

Afterwards, Ye Chen entered Li Ruo’s office.

Li Ruo was holding a coffee and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window looking out into the distance.

“Cough, cough…” Ye Chen gave a dry cough.

Li Ruo’s body shook slightly, then he turned around, smiling at Ye Chen: “You scared me with that cough, just come in next time!”

“You asked for me?” Ye Chen casually sat down on the couch.

“I called for you this morning, why didn’t you come?” Li Ruo said with a playful anger.

“I had more than a month’s worth of work piled up that I had to deal with!” Ye Chen said somewhat helplessly, “Who else would pay me besides Tianya Group?

Sigh…”

“Hehe, who told you to go out and have fun!” Li Ruo chuckled.

“What’s the matter exactly?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“The North District project is now entering its middle and final phases, and the scale of the Central Business District is exactly as you envisioned!” Li Ruo spoke with slight excitement, “Already, a third of the business buildings and economic center have been sold, and furthermore, the down payments from the buyers have been received.

I believe this time Tianya Group will definitely soar!”

“Great news!” Ye Chen replied softly, “Can we pay off those hundreds of billions in bank loans now?”

“Mmm, I’ve already instructed the legal and financial teams to start negotiations with the banks,” Li Ruo said with a light smile, “To reduce the accumulation of interest, we’ll try to pay off the debt early to avoid burdening Tianya Group.”

“The Tianya Group is now like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger!” Ye Chen, holding Li Ruo, said, “In the future, Tianya Group will be able to enter the global top 500!”

“I hope so!” Li Ruo nodded and said, “But the road ahead is still long.

However, I’ve already planned to take the first step!”

“Let’s hear your thoughts!” Ye Chen smiled.

“I plan to purchase the Hong Kong Futei Group!” Li Ruo took a deep breath and said, “There have been negative news about the Hong Kong Futei Group, causing their stocks to fall sharply.

Moreover, I have analyzed Futei Group’s information, and there are internal divisions.

Some people want to disband.

I think this is a good time to step in!”

“To Hong Kong?” Ye Chen was startled.

“Exactly!” Li Ruo nodded and said, “Domestic development has many limitations, so after buying Futei Group, I plan to immediately use its shell to list in Hong Kong.”

“Using their shell to go public?” Ye Chen smiled, “That’s not a bad idea.

It’s worth a try!”

“But we are completely in the dark about Hong Kong!” Li Ruo sighed helplessly.

“If you trust me, I can handle these things for you!” Ye Chen smiled faintly.

“Really?” Li Ruo was startled and said, “Although Futei Group is failing, there are many people who want to acquire it.

I’m afraid…

I’m afraid it’ll be hard for us to succeed!”

“Don’t worry, with me here, I’ll make sure it gets handled!” Ye Chen smiled.

“No boasting!” Li Ruo looked at Ye Chen.

However, she saw no deception in Ye Chen’s eyes.

“I wouldn’t lie to my Xiao Ruo!” Ye Chen held Li Ruo, then the two lay on the sofa, Ye Chen kissed Li Ruo, and they embraced each other tightly.

Li Ruo was almost suffocated by Ye Chen’s kiss, but fortunately, they soon parted.

Li Ruo, panting, said, “Ye Chen, Tianya Group doesn’t have much funds on its books, so there’s about a five billion gap in funding to acquire Futei Group.

Can you think of a way to help?”

Ye Chen was slightly startled, then immediately patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, there’s no problem!”

“That’s great!” Li Ruo immediately tackled Ye Chen onto the sofa and kissed him passionately; Ye Chen immediately laughed and reciprocated Li Ruo’s kiss.

The two shared a fervent kiss on the sofa.

This long kiss made Ye Chen understand what a sweet kiss was.

Tianya Group decided to expand into the international market, and acquiring the Hong Kong Futei Group was the first step.

The next step would be to go public using the shell, to become a member of the Asian stock market.

After stabilizing the first step, they would start planning the second step.

To acquire Futai Group, with a funding gap of five billion, Tianya Group could only provide thirteen billion.

Ye Chen had to grit his teeth and find a solution himself, for the sake of Xiao Ruo.

Although drawing funds from within the family was possible, it would mean owing a favor to the Rothschild family.

Helplessly, Ye Chen had to look for other solutions.

In just a few days, on the national day, a troubling message came from Tongzhou City.

The Qiao Gang seemed ready to make a move and prepare to counterattack the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

This message returned to Jianghuai City, leaving Ye Chen feeling a bit depressed.

Why did everything come at once?

He had just returned from the Golden Triangle not long ago.

Tianya Group had a heavy responsibility, and the Qiao Gang was planning a counterattack.

“Big brother, bring back Zhi Xiao and the others!” Ye Chen urgently said.

“No rush!” Ye Chen immediately waved his hand, “Let’s see what Qiao Gang is planning to do first, and we’ll head to Tongzhou City tonight!”

“Yes!” Da Xia and Haozi immediately nodded.

That evening, the three men drove with more than fifty well-trained underlings towards Tongzhou City; each of these fifty men was elite, selected that day and highly trained.

In Tongzhou City, Chen Gang of the Heavenly Reversal Gang had always been overseeing the province.

As a former leader of Radicals among the Alliance Gang, being entrusted with such responsibility by the Heavenly Reversal Gang and trusted so deeply, Chen Gang gradually integrated into the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

Despite being insulted by the people of Qiao Gang as a traitor and a lackey, he was unaffected.

He felt a familial atmosphere within the Heavenly Reversal Gang and saw its bright future.

He believed the Heavenly Reversal Gang would surely not be limited to just Z province.

“Brother Chen!” Chen Gang immediately greeted him with his underlings.

At the entrance of the entertainment city, Chen Gang had already gathered more than a hundred underlings, ready to meet any offensive.

According to insiders from the Qiao Gang, the Qiao Gang was planning to launch a counterattack against the Heavenly Reversal Gang at dawn.

Chen Gang had already started making arrangements once he received this message.
