Today is the day to go to Bìshuǐ Villa.
The client opposite was the number one figure that the Dong family had to show respect to, so Dong Ye naturally did not dare to be negligent.
She had gotten up early in the morning to prepare.
"Are the materials ready?"
A voice, stern and murderous, came from nearby. The secretary, holding stacks of documents, immediately replied, "Director Dong, I've brought everything you asked for."
"Very good. But this time it's different. This client is no small matter, and we must be extremely cautious. We absolutely must secure this deal, so later, you will help me go over everything meticulously again."
Dong Ye was decisive and swift, now like a decisive emperor.
"Yes!"
The secretary quickly nodded in agreement.
"Mom," at this moment, a voice reached Dong Ye's ears.
While applying her makeup, Dong Ye turned her head upon hearing this. Seeing Dong Hua, a hint of suspicion appeared on Dong Ye's face.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to prepare things?"
Dong Hua's face was now calm, with a slight smile. "Mom, the matters you entrusted to your son, your son has already completed them. You know me."
After pausing for a moment, Dong Hua continued, "Besides, we reconciled yesterday. I don't have any other ideas. In the days to come, I will do my own work. If you find me an eyesore, you can kick me out, or let me stay, I have no objections. These are not issues I should consider. I only have one thing: to do my job before leaving. If you want me to leave, just give me some money so I can live comfortably for the rest of my life."
The further she spoke, the more absurd it became, and the conversation took a strange turn. Dong Ye quickly said, "What are you talking about? What? Aren't you my son?"
Dong Ye did indeed want her biological son to return to the family, but she was unwilling to give up on Dong Hua either.
Before Dong Hua could continue, Dong Ye quickly said, "Alright, why are you talking such nonsense? Go and confirm the itinerary. We'll be leaving soon."
"Yes."
After Dong Hua walked away, Dong Ye couldn't help but murmur to herself.
"I didn't expect this kid's mindset to change so quickly. I thought it would take at least a month or two. Now it's all good."
As she was contemplating, a voice entered her ear, interrupting her thoughts.
"Director Dong, the items are ready, and it's almost time."
Looking up, she saw her secretary. "Okay." Dong Ye did not hesitate at all.
A short while later, a high-end commercial vehicle drove out of the underground garage of the Dong family group, heading straight for Bìshuǐ Villa.
After the car drove out of the garage, Dong Hua immediately called Liao Heyun.
Upon learning that Dong Hua had everything prepared and was just waiting for the right moment, Liao Heyun on the other end of the phone let out bursts of sinister and cold laughter. "Good, I understand. You go ahead and do it boldly. I guarantee that this time, it definitely won't go wrong."
"When the control of the Dong family falls into your hands, you better not forget to join me in dealing with Lü Feng."
"That's for sure. As long as this kid Lü Feng is still in Southeast City, do you think this chair I'm sitting on can be stable?"
Although things had not yet unfolded, Dong Hua's tone suggested that everything was already falling into place, and he had already become the de facto head of the Dong family.
"Good," Liao Heyun nodded slightly.
A short while later, a group of people soon arrived at Bìshuǐ Villa.
This place was a manor-style hotel used for receiving distinguished guests.
Those who came here were either discussing major business deals or were prominent figures and dignitaries.
Not long after arriving, Dong Ye was arranged in a high-class private room.
"Director Dong, you've had a tiring journey. The other party will only arrive at dinner time, so during this period, Director Dong should eat first and then rest well. I will notify Director Dong when they arrive."
"Mm."
Dong Ye nodded slightly.
A short while later, a specially prepared grand meal was presented before Dong Hua.
After eating, Dong Ye quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up, the sky outside the window had already darkened.
Realizing that no one had come to call her, a sense of strangeness involuntarily arose in her heart.
What's going on? Wasn't it agreed for today?
These businessmen are too unreliable.
With this thought flashing through her mind, she quickly spoke up.
Hearing Director Dong's voice from inside the room, the secretary waiting not far outside immediately pushed the door open and entered.
"Director Dong, you're awake?"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Dong Ye's brows immediately revealed a chilling gaze that was difficult to defy.
"Didn't you say it was six o'clock? It's already half past six, why hasn't that person arrived yet?"
Asking the secretary this question, she was not a fortune teller who could predict everything. How could she know?
The secretary could only say with extreme embarrassment, "Director Dong, I'm also very puzzled. Logically, this situation shouldn't have occurred. Although those people are also major clients, they have always kept their word."
This explanation was not what Director Dong wanted to hear.
"Alright." Quickly interrupting the other party, Dong Ye ordered, "Go and check now to see if that person has arrived and what the situation is. Once you've figured it out, tell me immediately."
"Yes!"
The secretary nodded like pounding garlic.
She thought this trivial matter would be figured out quickly.
But in reality, after waiting for a full half hour with no news, a surge of anger rose in Dong Ye's heart.
Before long, this anger was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
"What's going on?"
People nowadays are becoming increasingly useless.
"It seems I have to go myself."
With this thought, Dong Ye immediately got up and pushed the door open.
She had been to Bìshuǐ Villa before, and she knew where the reception hall was.
A short while later, she arrived at the place along the corridor.
However, the scene before her made her eyes widen even further in disbelief.
The reception hall was now empty, looking as if no one had been there.
Seeing a security guard approaching, Dong Ye quickly asked.
However, the person looked at Dong Ye as if she were a plague god. Before Dong Ye could even utter a second sentence, the person had already fled as if avoiding a disaster, disappearing from sight.
This made her, who was already suspicious, even more puzzled.
What was going on today? Why was everyone acting so strangely?
Helpless, she had to take out her phone and call Dong Hua.
"Son, where are you? I seem to have encountered a problem here. Come over."
"Okay, I'm coming right away."
After hanging up the phone, Dong Ye was about to return to her VIP room when suddenly, someone dressed as a waiter quickly approached her and stopped her.
"May I ask if you are Director Dong?"
