Chapter 9 The Plaintiff

Ye Zhi was truly disgusted. How could such a beautiful girl be so brainless, with an extra mouth to speak? If Ye Qinya was a saint herself, why would she drag others into being bullied along with her?

"If you can't speak, you can shut up," Ye Zhi coldly interrupted her. Then, she walked into the conference room, closing the door behind her and leaving Ye Qinya outside.

To be safe, Ye Zhi directly locked the door.

After all, if that pig teammate Ye Qinya was allowed in, she might apologize to the Zhang father and son without a word, or unconditionally agree to the Zhang family's series of unequal treaties, which would be even more disgusting.

"Old Ye, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm done with you..." Inside the conference room, Zhang Dan Ni's father, Zhang Yicheng, was furious. They were arguing heatedly and didn't notice the commotion at the door.

"Chairman Zhang," Ye Zhi said in a deep voice, "I think it's you who should give our Ye Corporation an explanation first!"

Hearing her voice, several people turned around in unison.

Ye Yongxian was startled. He immediately put on a stern face and said, "What are you doing here? I can handle this. You go out."

Knowing that Ye Yongxian was concerned about her and afraid she would be bullied, Ye Zhi felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She walked directly to his side and said, "Dad, don't worry, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Yicheng and Zhang Dan Hai on the side suddenly looked enlightened.

"So you are Ye Zhi, the eldest daughter of the Ye family?" Zhang Dan Hai said disdainfully. "It's just a minor traffic accident, and you're making a big deal out of it, framing my sister, and having her locked up by the police?! I'm telling you, if you don't get my sister out, our Zhang family will never be done with you..."

"Why don't you look at this first!" Ye Zhi glanced at him indifferently and directly took out a stack of photos, throwing them onto the conference table.

Zhang Dan Hai had no intention of looking. He said with a look of contempt, "What's there to see? Aren't you just anxious to take over the Ye Corporation, trying to establish your authority by targeting our Zhang family, and using my sister as a scapegoat? Do you really think our Zhang family is easy to bully..."

Ye Yongxian picked up the photos with some confusion. When he saw the contents clearly, he became furious. "Zhang Yicheng! I've always treated you as a friend, a partner I could trust forever. I never expected you to scheme against me like this! Now, it's not about whether you give the Ye Corporation an explanation, our Ye Corporation is done with you!"

Seeing his sudden outburst, Zhang Yicheng picked up the photos on the table with some confusion.

Zhang Dan Hai, however, didn't take it seriously at all. He sneered, "Uncle Ye, you are too biased towards your daughter..."

"Who is your Uncle Ye? We are the plaintiffs, and you are the defendants. What are you trying to get close for!" Ye Yongxian interrupted him impolitely.

"You..." Zhang Dan Hai was furious, but before he could say anything, he heard Zhang Yicheng say in shock and anger, "Dan Hai! What's going on?!"

Zhang Dan Hai picked up the photos blankly. When he saw them clearly, his face instantly turned pale with nervousness!

These photos were of the building materials from Fengle Residence. Ye Zhi had people print them out before she arrived to confront the Zhang father and son. Seeing his guilty look, Ye Zhi, who had been staring at him, had a vague guess.

"Mr. Zhang Dan Hai, you were responsible for the cooperation between Ye Corporation and Chengan Company this time, weren't you?" Ye Zhi asked in a deep voice. "President Zhang, I'd like to ask, why is it that our Ye Corporation ordered high-quality building materials, but your Chengan provided us with such construction waste?! Could it be that you, who just took over Chengan Company, are trying to establish your authority by targeting our Ye family?!"

"You, you are slandering me!" Zhang Dan Hai's expression became more flustered. He gritted his teeth and said, "Our company has always provided high-quality and reliable building materials. Don't think that just a few photos can be used to smear us!"

Seeing that he was still being stubborn, Ye Zhi sneered, "Very well. I have already taken samples of this batch of building materials for testing. I believe all the test results will be out by tomorrow at the latest. I have also preserved all the evidence of our transactions with your company. President Zhang, there's no point in saying more. Please wait to sit in the defendant's dock!"

Seeing that the father and daughter were determined to take them to court, Zhang Yicheng immediately panicked. He quickly said with a fawning smile, "Old Ye, don't rush. There must be some misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstanding?" Ye Yongxian retorted, "Zhang Yicheng, we have been friends for so many years, and you have truly disappointed me! Do you remember why you named your company Chengan? You said it was because you wanted to be sincere in dealing with people and provide reliable supplies. But now, you are selling these inferior building materials, passing off the inferior as the superior, to your partners. If my daughter hadn't discovered this early, do you know how serious the consequences would have been?! Where is your original intention? Have you forgotten it all?!"

Zhang Yicheng was lectured like a grandson and lowered his head in embarrassment. Of course, he knew how serious the consequences would be. If an accident really happened, not only would the Ye Corporation be in trouble, but their company, which provided these building materials, would also be ruined!

"Dan Hai! What exactly is going on?!" Zhang Yicheng roared in frustration.

Seeing that his own father was angry, Zhang Dan Hai quickly said, "Dad! This has nothing to do with me! It's Dan Ni. Dan Ni said she wanted to learn how to manage things, so she asked me to hand over the Fengle Residence cooperation to her. I don't know why it turned out like this..."

Ye Zhi was speechless. It was Ye Dan Ni again. Like Ye Qinya, she was a filial daughter who brought misfortune to her father. Although Zhang Dan Hai's words could only be half-believed, his quick blaming of Ye Dan Ni showed their "brotherly and sisterly affection"!

"You, you... you two are really going to kill me with anger!" Zhang Yicheng trembled with anger. How could he not see that Zhang Dan Hai's words were half true and half false?! The replacement of building materials was indeed done by Ye Dan Ni, but Zhang Dan Hai definitely knew about it! He didn't expect to have a daughter who was a disgrace to her father, but he also had a son who was a disgrace to his father!

"Dad, I know I was wrong," Zhang Dan Hai said quickly. "Don't worry, Dan Ni is already locked up by the police and won't be able to interfere with the company anymore..."

Zhang Yicheng took a deep breath, swallowing the blood that was about to spurt out.

"Old Ye, this time, it was indeed our fault," Zhang Yicheng said with a fawning smile. "Please give me a few days. I will investigate the truth of the matter and come up with a satisfactory answer!"

"Three days," Ye Yongxian snorted. "If it exceeds three days, we can only discuss it in court!"

"Alright," Zhang Yicheng agreed dejectedly and turned to leave.

"Chairman Zhang, please wait," Ye Zhi suddenly called out to him.
