Not only that, but the sponsors also called one after another, insisting on withdrawing their sponsorships.
Ou Minghan tried his best to appease the sponsors, telling them the competition would continue, but these sponsors weren't buying it. After all, even if the competition continued, with no audience, wouldn't their sponsorships be for nothing?
In addition to the sponsors, Ivan from YD also came to join the fun. Ivan was furious on the phone, blaming him for not handling the national server competition of Star Conquer according to the contract.
Ivan's implied meaning was that he wanted money. Ou Minghan was extremely annoyed, so why would he indulge him? The two had a big argument and parted on bad terms.
With so many troublesome things already happening, Ou Minghan abandoned them all and returned to the Ou residence early, hoping to see Cen Ya and get her to think of a solution.
But to his surprise, as soon as he returned, Cen Ya asked him about the shutdown of Feilong Live, saying that Ni Na already knew and was very angry, demanding an explanation from Ou Minghan.
Ou Minghan immediately deflated like a pricked balloon and unleashed his anger on Cen Ya, scolding her for not considering him at all and only putting pressure on him.
Cen Ya was startled by him, and seeing her tearfully wronged, Ou Minghan quickly sobered up. xxs
No, Cen Ya was his last straw, he absolutely couldn't fall out with her.
The next moment, he stepped forward, pulled Cen Ya into his arms, and said with a pained tone, "Ya Ya, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get angry at you! It's just that Ye Zhi has been targeting me lately. She's jealous of your good background and wants to leave the Cen family with nothing! But she knows she can't do anything to you, so she's turned all her anger on me. I thought I could protect you and bear all this for you, but who knew her methods would be so despicable..."
"Minghan..." Cen Ya looked up at him, her eyes full of emotion, "So, you're doing all this for me?"
"Ya Ya, I am your husband, this is what I should do. I haven't done well enough..." Ou Minghan said guiltily. Seeing Cen Ya's moved expression, clearly persuaded, Ou Minghan sighed, "But Ya Ya, this can't go on like this!
A strong dragon can't suppress a local snake. Besides wealth, the Cen family is too constrained domestically. If this continues, Ye Zhi will start targeting the Cen family! You and Ye Zhi are sisters, can't you ask her to persuade her out of sisterly affection?"
"I..." Cen Ya choked. It wasn't that she hadn't tried to persuade her.
The last time Ou Minghan complained to her, she had humbled herself and gone to see people from the Ye family, but they refused to see her, and Ye Zhi even extorted five million from her.
Her sisterly affection with Ye Zhi? Now even she didn't believe such a thing had ever existed.
"Ya Ya, why don't you go find her and talk to her properly," Ou Minghan persuaded again, "Ye Zhi is ruthless, but look how good she is to her own family. You used to be part of the Ye family too, she couldn't have no feelings for you, right?"
Cen Ya became even more conflicted, "Minghan, we don't get along..."
"Ya Ya, don't be willful," Ou Minghan's face darkened, "This is about the survival of the Cen family, you should at least try! You two lived together and were sisters for so many years, just apologize to her, satisfy her vanity, and strive for our two families to mind their own business in the future!"
Cen Ya bit her lip, "Minghan, you mean... I should beg for peace?"
Ou Minghan's expression was a little embarrassed. Cen Ya's words had undoubtedly stripped him of his fig leaf.
However, Ou Minghan quickly regained his composure and said sternly, "Ya Ya, this is for our future!"
"Alright," Cen Ya reluctantly agreed.
The next day, Cen Ya went directly to the Taoxun building.
The receptionist saw her and put on a professional smile.
Before Cen Ya could speak, the receptionist politely said with a smile, "I'm sorry, madam, no matter what your status is, without an appointment, you cannot see CEO Ye!"
Cen Ya immediately felt her face burn with embarrassment.
The last time she came to Taoxun, this same receptionist had received her. At that time, she was angry and anonymously exposed the matter online, but in the end, she was ridiculed by everyone.
That receptionist even appeared as a witness, announcing online that she had been rewarded by Ye Zhi and got a raise for this matter. Cen Ya, the daughter of a duke, had directly become a laughingstock.
Seeing her again, Cen Ya naturally felt incredibly ashamed. However, thinking that she was here for Ou Minghan, Cen Ya suddenly felt filled with courage.
Cen Ya gritted her teeth, "Tell your CEO, I'm here to deliver money."
The receptionist was speechless. Many people rushed to Taoxun to deliver money to CEO Ye, why would it be the turn of this 'noble' duke's daughter?
"I'm sorry, no appointment means no meeting with CEO Ye." The receptionist maintained a professional smile.
Cen Ya clenched her fingers tightly. She had anticipated this situation before coming. However, this time she was here for Ou Minghan, and no matter what happened, she wouldn't back down!
"Then I'll wait here. I don't believe Ye Zhi won't come out!" Cen Ya said, then turned to the lobby's resting area, looking like she was prepared to wait indefinitely.
The receptionist was stunned for a moment and became even more speechless.
Who said Ye Zhi would use the lobby? Ye Zhi usually used the CEO's private elevator, which led directly to the underground parking lot. Besides, Ye Zhi wasn't even here today.
Cen Ya really waited for the entire morning, but as people came and went, she didn't even see a shadow of Ye Zhi.
At noon, Ou Minghan called her to ask how things were going. Cen Ya cried aggrievedly, saying that Ye Zhi didn't want to see her at all.
Ou Minghan immediately contacted Feng Jie and asked him to find a solution.
Feng Jie was speechless. As an undercover agent, he really had no control over his own actions.
Finally, Feng Jie called Ye Zhi and explained the situation to her.
Ye Zhi was currently at the construction site of the Taoxun Technology Park. After hearing Feng Jie's explanation, she felt a wave of confusion.
Cen Ya had given her five million last time, and now she wanted to see her again so soon? The Cen family was indeed wealthy, needing such an expensive ticket to see her, yet Cen Ya was ready to pay again without batting an eye.
Feng Jie said, "CEO Ye, if you don't want to see her, I'll find an excuse to brush her off..."
"No need. Tell her to transfer five million directly. Once it's in the account, you can tell her my location," Ye Zhi said calmly.
To earn five million for a meeting, why wouldn't she take this money?
Feng Jie agreed.
Shortly after hanging up the phone, five million yuan was deposited into Ye Zhi's account. She mused, thankfully Cen Ya's surname was Cen now and not Ye, she was grateful to the Cen family!
