Chapter 496 - 496 Trash
However, all of this was because of a sentence from the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation. He didn’t even need to do anything to make the Ye family fall. He just said, “I want to cut off the Ye family’s means of livelihood.” These simple words were like an imperial edict. In just a few hours, billions of the Ye family had evaporated into thin air.
Moreover, he did not even use the power of the Dinglong Corporation. How simple was this sentence, but how effective was it?
Was that so-called misfortune really misfortune, or was it retribution?
Old Master Ye didn’t know, and he didn’t want to know either. He thought that he wasn’t in the wrong. He thought that his mistake was that he didn’t investigate Ye Xuan’s identity earlier and didn’t control many things, resulting in such a big mistake now.
However, what was done was done. There was no room for negotiation.
The Old Master let out a long sigh and retracted his mind. He raised his tired and old face and looked at his relatives with a sad expression. After thinking for a moment, he spoke seriously.
“Everyone, raise your heads and recover your mood. We must not panic. No company can continue smoothly. I believe that with all of us working together, we can still make a comeback.”
“Make a comeback?”
The descendant of the main family asked in return and snorted.
“Do you know who’s standing opposite us? It’s the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation. That’s the chairman of the leading Chinese company, the Dinglong Corporation, Old Master. Do you know what this means? It means that from now on, the Ye family will no longer exist in the entire business world!”
“If you hadn’t insisted on Ye Wan marrying into the Lei family, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s a family business of several generations. Billions have evaporated in just a few hours. There will be even more in the future. Old Master, do you know what you’re doing?”
“I told you not to do this a long time ago, but you refused to listen. I don’t know what you’re thinking. Even if she doesn’t marry into the Lei family, the resources we have are enough to feed us for several generations. The juniors are all starting their own businesses now. Sooner or later, they will become a big family. Why do you have to get along with the Lei family for that little bit of resources? In order to raise the status of our Ye family, what happened next? Then, it became like this! Are you still unwilling to give up after having so much money? Are you still unwilling to live a good life? Do you still want status? Why are you so greedy? Good, good, good. Hahahaha, this is the outcome. Hahahaha, this is the outcome. Are you satisfied?”
“You never ask for our opinions when you do anything. We have to obey you unconditionally. Great, great. It’s fine if your dignity is used on the main family, but why do you have to use it on the collateral relatives? Is Ye Hongliang a good person? Old Master, are you used to being respected at home and think that you’re really a local emperor? Are you satisfied with this outcome? Can you afford to offend the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation? Can all of us afford to offend him?”
“Hahahaha, good, good. That’s great. The Old Master is really straightforward. There are so many juniors in the family who rely on their family’s connections to survive outside. Now that their respective businesses have improved, those who know the Ye family will give the juniors respect. This is great, Old Master. However, because of the marriage that you suggested, you provoked the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation. Do you know that the juniors won’t be able to stand out anymore? They’ll be forever far away! For the rest of their lives! They won’t be able to step into the business world for the rest of their lives!! They won’t even be able to take half a step!! They won’t be able to rely on the word ‘business’ to become rich for the rest of their lives! They won’t be able to do it for the rest of their lives! F*ck!!!”
“This is the good result you chose. You chose really well, Old Master. Hahaha…”
“Hahahahaha…”
The sad laughter of the main family filled the hall, making the entire atmosphere even more oppressive.
Their laughter was half-filled with crying. It was extremely sad, making one feel pity for them. However, after knowing the truth, one would feel that they really deserved it.
When Old Master Ye heard the juniors reprimanding him, he did not say a word. His deterrence had already been completely lost in this muddle-headed decision. No one would respect him anymore, and no one would take him seriously.
Not far behind, a group of collateral relatives were also furious. Now, other than Ye Xuan, the collateral branch of the chairman of the Dinglong Group, all the Ye family members could no longer take half a step into the business world because of Old Master Ye’s immature marriage decision.
Hence, they all spoke up to vent the unwillingness in their hearts.
“I don’t know what an old man like you is thinking. You can just stay by yourself when you’re old. If you have nothing to do, you can just walk around and play. Why do you have to manage the family’s matters? Is this good? Are you satisfied now?”
“You’re happy just because you insisted on playing with the future of the entire family. My father really died early and left all his assets in your hands. I’m really depressed.”
“Hmph, it’s true that you’re a pest if you don’t die from old age. All of our elders have died, but you’re the only one left. You still care about family matters all day long. You’ll feel uncomfortable if you don’t care about the family for a day. Hehe, what can you do?”
“Sufen! What are you saying to the Old Master?!”
“What’s wrong with me saying that? Oh my god, why are you still respecting him as the Old Master at a time like this? Don’t you know what he has done? He has been doing business for so many years and has always sought our help. In the end, did he give us any benefits? We worked so hard and offended countless people. All the benefits have been obtained by the main family. He didn’t even leave you any benefits. Don’t you understand? Do you still respect him as the Old Master? Are you a man, Ye Anguo?
“Oh, I didn’t get any benefits, and now, he’s ruined all of our futures. My son’s company has just improved. The day before yesterday, he even called us and told us that there was a deal that would give us a few hundred thousand yuan at the end of the year. Do you still remember how happy my son was? Do you still remember, Ye Anguo? Boohoo, now, my son’s company can’t continue. You fool, you’re really not a man. You’re still respecting him, the Old Master. Boohoo, Boohoo, you’re still speaking up for this old fart. I was really blind to take a fancy to a coward like you! Boohoo…”
