The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 531: Chapter 514: Friendship Relations

Zhang Lang seemed to regret it. He regretted that Ye Chen hadn’t pushed her down. Speaking of Liang Yingqi, she had a great figure and a pretty face, damn, like Fan Bingbing herself, even more beautiful than Fan Bingbing. What a beauty! And yet Brother Chen didn’t seem to appreciate her. Zhang Lang felt sorry for Ye Chen.

"Go on, you know jack shit!" Ye Chen glared at him unexpectedly, saying, "Nurse Liang and I are just ordinary friends!"

"Hehe, what about you and Miss Gongsun then?" Li Ke, who walked in, grinned and chuckled.

"Also friends!" Ye Chen replied.

"That bastard Ye Chen, I’m no friend of yours!" Gongsun Yue huffed and puffed as she ran in from the outside. Li Ke shrank back, giving Ye Chen a very wronged look, suggesting that he was coerced by Gongsun Yue into acting like this. Ye Chen was startled and asked, "If not friends, then what?"

"Hmph, I declare from today onward you’re my boyfriend!" Gongsun Yue pouted.

"Uh..." Ye Chen was so troubled, muttering, "Another one, another one has thrown herself at me..."

"Ye Chen, what are you mumbling about? What ’another one’?" Gongsun Yue glared at Ye Chen, who quickly waved his hands, saying, "Nothing, nothing. I mean, when do you plan on securing Futai Group for me?"

"That’s easy to say!" Gongsun Yue grinned, "We’ll go sign the contract with the people from Futai Group today!"

"Great, great!" Ye Chen immediately nodded, eager to get this matter settled sooner rather than later. He literally jumped to his feet and followed Gongsun Yue out. At the door, a black Benz waited, flanked by two bodyguards.

"Get in!" Gongsun Yue called. Ye Chen then noticed that today, this little Nizi, Gongsun Yue, was actually wearing a black uniform, office lady attire, with a black skirt and a small black suit, wrapping her figure to perfection—it was an absolute delight to the eyes.

Ye Chen got into the Mercedes and then started to smoke. Gongsun Yue frowned, and despite his protests, snatched the cigarette right out of Ye Chen’s mouth, saying, "No smoking in the car. Each smoke shortens your life by five seconds and can also trigger various diseases. You’re slowly committing suicide."

"Which man doesn’t smoke?" Ye Chen felt very aggrieved.

The car slowly drove off towards Futai Group.

Futai Group was located in Hong Kong Kowloon Bay, with a prime location. The car slowly entered Futai Group, the company situated on the top floor of this skyscraper. Futai Group wasn’t as strong as Tianya Group, and given the price of land in Hong Kong, they had only bought the top floor of the building as their business base.

At the moment, Futai Group was semi-closed, its finance department was clearing assets. People in charge were also busy receiving representatives who were interested in Futai Group. One group left and another arrived.

"Welcome to Futai Group!" The hostess still stood her last post.

Everyone entered, the receptionist at the front desk hurriedly ushered Gongsun Yue and Ye Chen’s party into the VIP room. Gongsun Yue possessed an outstanding presence; in such an occasion, she instantly dropped her hip-hop sexy persona and put on a cold and aloof demeanor, which genuinely surprised Ye Chen. How could this little Nizi suddenly seem like a completely different person? Was she, like Xiao Ruo, also dual-personalitied?

Just then, the person in charge of Futai Group rushed out, panting and saying, "Miss Gongsun, I’m so sorry for not personally greeting you!"

"Mr. Zhang, no worries, we’re not here for a visit, we’re here to discuss the acquisition of Futai Group’s business!" Gongsun Yue’s voice was very cold, the epitome of business as usual, which would make it impossible for anyone to guess that this little Nizi had a hip-hop character behind her.

"Yes, yes, I’ll have someone prepare right away!" With that, Mr. Zhang immediately had someone prepare for the business negotiation.

While the preparations for the negotiations were underway on this side, Hong Kai walked in with a group of people. Mr. Zhang didn’t stop for a moment and went to greet the newcomers.

"Boss Zhang, such a pleasure to meet you!" Hong Kai laughed heartily. Mr. Zhang hastily smiled, "Sect Leader Hong, you must be exhausted, why did you come personally? You could have just sent a business representative. Look, why go through the trouble?"

"Ah, isn’t Mr. Zhang refusing to give Mr. Hong face by doing this?" Hong Kai sighed, saying, "I was also afraid that my subordinates wouldn’t handle things well, so I had no choice but to personally come and discuss the acquisition with you, Mr. Zhang."

A conflict was immediately ignited on the scene. The two sides were sworn enemies. Mr. Zhang knew that Ye Chen was the Gang Leader of the Heavenly Reversal Gang, and as a new gang in Hong Kong, there naturally existed unresolved tensions with Hongmen. Therefore, Mr. Zhang became somewhat anxious, uncertain of what to do. After all, both parties were not to be offended. The support of the Gongsun Family from Hong Kong behind the Heavenly Reversal Gang made it even harder for Mr. Zhang to make a decision.

"This..." Mr. Zhang looked at Hong Kai awkwardly and said, "Sect Leader Hong, this is just a small business of mine; I’m afraid it can’t accommodate such a great Buddha!"

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Zhang?" Hong Kai looked at him coldly.

"No, no, I just meant that my Futai Group is just one of many companies in Hong Kong, not worth such a scramble!" Mr. Zhang became somewhat tangled. If he offended Hongmen or the Heavenly Reversal Gang and the Gongsun Family by selling the Futai Group, it would be a loss not worth the gain.

At that moment, Ye Chen stepped forward leisurely, smiling and saying, "Mr. Zhang, that’s not how you should put it. We need to look beyond appearances to see the essence. Think about it, who is the biggest responsible party for the situation that Futai Group is in now? Who has been playing tricks behind the scenes?"

"Ye Chen, what do you mean by that?" Hong Kai immediately challenged him.

"You know very well what I mean. Do you think I’m unaware of the seeds of discord sown by Hongmen?" Ye Chen said, with a smirk: "As a man, if you want something, you should go about it openly and honestly. Why resort to sneaky tactics? Now that Futai Group has fallen, you’re busy trying to acquire it. I think Hongmen might as well change its name to the Shameless Gang!"

"You’re courting death!" Hong Kai immediately charged at him.

"Hmph, do you think I’m afraid of you?!" Ye Chen snorted coldly and immediately pounced as well. Their fists collided instantly. Ye Chen, quite steadily, didn’t seem phased at all, while Hong Kai, the burly man, staggered backward several steps. His face turned beet red, a clear indicator that Ye Chen’s punch had struck him hard. Grinding his teeth, Hong Kai snapped, "Good kid, you’ve got some strength."

"Now you know how formidable I am, don’t you?" Ye Chen said with a cold smile. "Now scram, or do you want me to beat you into running away? If that was to happen, you’d probably find it impossible to get by in Hong Kong ever again!"

"Humph, let’s go!" Hong Kai bit his teeth—now was not the time to remain; was he really going to wait to be beaten into leaving? Before departing, he didn’t forget to threaten Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Zhang, analyze the situation for yourself, think carefully about who you sell the Futai Group to. Don’t do anything stupid, or you’ll regret it too late!"

After finishing his words, Hong Kai led his entourage and turned to leave. Mr. Zhang, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, hastily escorted Hong Kai out.

"Mr. Zhang, you don’t have to take Hong Kai’s words to heart, feel free to sell the Futai Group to us!" Ye Chen waved his hand.

"This..." It seemed the man had been intimidated by Hong Kai, so he was hesitant, very conflicted, and quite frustrated.

"Mr. Zhang, you have the protection of the Gongsun Family; what are you afraid of?" Gongsun Yue immediately stood up, looking at Mr. Zhang coldly, and said, "What counts as Hongmen? Besides, if we’re talking about strength, is the Heavenly Reversal Gang not stronger than Hongmen?"

"Ah, forget it, it’s yours!" It seemed Mr. Zhang had also been worn down by these matters, so with a wave of his hand, he said, "In the end, I have to sell it anyway, it makes no difference who it goes to. Just take the money and let’s all leave quickly!"

Subsequently, both parties immediately signed the agreement. On behalf of the Tianya Group, Ye Chen inked the acquisition deal with the Futai Group. From the moment their signatures were laid on the document, the Futai Group had become a subsidiary of the Tianya Group.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you!" Ye Chen smiled broadly and then said, "The funds will be in your account within three days!"

"All right!" Mr. Zhang nodded.

"How about we have a PARTY to celebrate?" Ye Chen suggested with a smile.

"No need, I have to go home to pick up my child!" Mr. Zhang had no mood for it. He just wanted to quickly take the money and split, leaving Hong Kong, this godforsaken place. Being caught in the middle was unbelievably uncomfortable. He was well aware of Hongmen’s targeting of the Futai Group. Forced by circumstances, he could only choose to leave. Selling the Futai Group to Ye Chen was also a way to harshly retaliate against Hongmen—denying them what they sought.

Ye Chen had successfully seized control of the Futai Group, and this news echoed back to the Tianya Group, instantly prompting cheers throughout the company. Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. As the Futai Group had become a subsidiary of the Tianya Group, this meant that Tianya Group had officially expanded beyond China’s borders and was venturing onto the global stage. Although Hong Kong is, in some sense, Chinese territory, in terms of business significance, setting foot in Hong Kong meant being able to list on the Hong Kong stock exchange and start substantial fundraising.

Moreover, now that the Futai Group was already a publicly listed company, using it for a backdoor listing was a very straightforward affair.
