“By the way, there’s one more thing. A few hours ago, Cao Desheng organized a medical exchange conference, claiming there were issues with our Tiansheng Group’s pharmaceuticals. He gathered reputable figures from Jiang Province’s medical community to denounce you! Cao Desheng is doing this to ruin your reputation,” Ye Yanran said.
Jiang Yi sneered.
It seemed Cao Desheng couldn’t wait any longer and had come to trouble him so quickly.
Cao Desheng’s method of scheming against him showed that even a scoundrel wasn't entirely useless.
“Why don’t you organize an exchange conference as well? You can’t let Cao Desheng spout such nonsense and damage your reputation,” Ye Yanran suggested. “I’ll handle the preparations for the conference.”
“No need! If Cao Desheng wants to slander me, let him make a fuss. I don’t mind,” Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Just as Ye Yanran was about to persuade Jiang Yi, her secretary walked in from outside.
“Madam Chairman, Mr. Yang, Mr. Luo, and Miss He are here. They said they want to see you,” the secretary announced.
Upon hearing that Yang Dawei and the others were looking for her, Ye Yanran’s delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Ye Yanran knew why they were here.
“Madam Chairman, if you don’t want to see them, I’ll go and drive them away,” the secretary offered.
“Tell them to come in and see me!”
Ye Yanran instructed.
The secretary acknowledged and left the office.
“I don’t want to see them. I’m leaving. If anything comes up, give me a call.”
Jiang Yi finished speaking and left the office.
Looking at Jiang Yi’s retreating back, a hint of helplessness and regret appeared on Ye Yanran’s face.
A moment later, a knock sounded from outside the office.
“Come in!” Ye Yanran called out.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Dawei, Luo Gang, and He Meimei walked in from outside. Seeing Ye Yanran, the three of them greeted her with smiles.
“Yanran, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us!” Yang Dawei pleaded with Ye Yanran.
“Yanran, for the sake of our past as classmates, give me another chance…” Luo Gang also quickly said.
Ye Yanran remained silent and had the secretary fetch the contracts.
Upon seeing the contracts, Yang Dawei and Luo Gang’s faces were filled with excitement.
Ye Yanran only intended to teach them a lesson. As fellow classmates, Ye Yanran did not want to push things too far.
“Yanran, thank you!”
Yang Dawei thanked her gratefully.
Luo Gang also thanked Ye Yanran.
After respectfully greeting Ye Yanran, they left the office with the contracts.
“Yanran, I’ve come to apologize this time. I was wrong in the past!”
He Meimei took out a box from her bag and handed it to Ye Yanran, saying, “I went back to our old alma mater to find this and specially brought it to you as a gift. I hope you like it.”
Ye Yanran opened the box.
Inside, she found a photograph.
It was a picture taken during their graduation. It featured Ye Yanran, Jiang Yi, He Meimei, Zhou Mao, and Yang Dawei.
Due to a problem with the photographer’s camera at the time, only one photo was taken.
This photograph held the youthful memories of that year.
The photo was very precious.
Seeing the photo, Ye Yanran fell into thought, and the scenes from her school days flashed through her mind.
Looking at the photo, she felt as if she had returned to those days.
“I’ll accept this photo. I forgive you!” Ye Yanran said.
Upon hearing that Ye Yanran had forgiven her, He Meimei’s face was filled with joy and excitement.
He Meimei understood Ye Yanran well and knew that giving her this photo would surely earn her forgiveness.
“Are you free tonight? Shall we have dinner together?” He Meimei asked.
Ye Yanran nodded.
Meanwhile, as Jiang Yi reached the entrance of Tiansheng Group and was about to drive away, he suddenly saw Yang Dawei and Luo Gang happily emerging from the main gate, holding contracts.
“Jiang Yi, thank you for speaking up for us in front of Yanran. We got the contract!” Yang Dawei said gratefully to Jiang Yi.
“We are truly grateful to you this time. If it weren’t for you, we probably wouldn’t have gotten the contract,” Luo Gang added quickly.
Jiang Yi was a little taken aback!
This matter had nothing to do with him.
It was likely that Ye Yanran had softened her heart and let them off the hook, hence giving them the contracts.
When he went to see Ye Yanran just now, he hadn’t mentioned Yang Dawei and the others at all.
As Jiang Yi was about to speak, the sound of firecrackers suddenly erupted from the opposite street.
Jiang Yi looked up and saw a grand opening ceremony being held by a large company across the street. At a glance, it was a sea of people, with the entire street almost blocked.
Above the company’s entrance, the words “Dasheng Group” were displayed.
Jiang Yi sneered. Sun Shicai opening his company opposite Tiansheng Group was clearly a move directed at Tiansheng Group.
Yang Dawei and Luo Gang had seen the news and knew that Dasheng Group was targeting Tiansheng Group. Their faces immediately showed anger.
“Those scoundrels from Dasheng Group! How dare they cause trouble for Tiansheng Group!” Yang Dawei exclaimed angrily.
“How about we go cause some trouble and teach them a lesson?” Luo Gang suggested.
“That’s a good idea!”
Yang Dawei grinned, “Anyone who opposes Tiansheng Group is opposing us.”
After discussing it, the two headed towards the plaza in front of Dasheng Group and soon squeezed into the crowd.
Jiang Yi intended to stop them, but it was too late.
With their capabilities, causing a scene would be like rushing to an early death.
Jiang Yi decided to go and observe.
The plaza was packed with people. Even if he went over, Sun Shicai might not necessarily spot him.
Besides, he also wanted to join in the excitement.
Upon entering the plaza, Jiang Yi looked up at the elevated stage and saw Sun Shicai and the senior executives of Dasheng Group seated on chairs on the platform.
In addition, there was another person: Bai Zhen!
Jiang Yi was surprised. He hadn’t expected Bai Zhen to appear here.
Bai Zhen was the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in Shangjiang Province. Sun Shicai had invited him, and with such a lineup, Dasheng Group was bound to become headline news in the business world.
Jiang Yi couldn’t quite understand how Sun Shicai knew Bai Zhen.
Bai Zhen, like Zhou Wentian, was an old-fashioned stubborn person, and it was difficult to invite him.
Sun Shicai’s ability to invite Bai Zhen to preside indicated an unusual relationship.
Yang Dawei and Luo Gang, who had originally intended to make a scene, immediately lost their nerve upon seeing Bai Zhen present.
They knew Bai Zhen’s identity, and causing a disturbance in front of him would be akin to courting death.
“Jiang Yi, why are you here too?”
A voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
Jiang Yi turned his head and saw it was Zhou Mao.
Jiang Yi’s brow furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected this scoundrel Zhou Mao to show up as well!
Zhou Mao was wearing a blue suit, and his hair was slicked back, making him look even more handsome.
“I’m just here to wander around!” Jiang Yi replied.
