Chapter 89 Who do you think you are?
In the villa's study, Zhou Qing handed several photos to Xiao Jingchen.
"Mr. Xiao, it was Ye Minghua who did it. He somehow obtained information about Madam's whereabouts. This was my mistake."
Zhou Qing lowered her head, trembling.
Ye Minghua was the one who took action this time. He was only trying to stop her, not for any other reason. Otherwise, if anything happened to Lin Ran, he would be held responsible.
Even so, he still couldn't escape punishment this time.
"It seems he's not busy enough with his work."
Xiao Jingchen curled his lips slightly, casually twirling the pen in his hand, his expression indifferent.
"Since that's the case, let's give him some trouble, so he won't be too idle and keep making mistakes."
Zhou Qing was taken aback, then quickly lowered his head and responded.
Xiao Jingchen said that he had never failed in anything he was going to do, let alone this time when he was only going to take action against a small Ye family.
Ye Minghua was unaware of what was happening when his office door was kicked open. He frowned as he looked at the employee who had barged in, his brows furrowed with impatience.
"What are you doing? Don't you know you should knock before coming to the CEO's office?"
"Believe it or not, I'll dock your pay?"
Ye Minghua, relying on being the company's largest shareholder, has always been extremely arrogant, especially towards his employees, where he adopts a condescending attitude.
Normally, whenever he said that, these people would humbly apologize and leave the office.
But this time something seems different.
Those people didn't leave; instead, they slammed the documents they were holding onto his desk.
"Enough, Ye Minghua, I've put up with you for far too long!"
"I'm telling you, I'm not doing this today!"
"And I!"
"Me too, I'm leaving too."
Ye Minghua was taken aback, but he didn't panic. He just glanced at the group and didn't try to persuade them to stay.
"Fine, if you want to get out, then get out of here and stop getting in my way."
Although he didn't attend the party, Ye Chuchu was there. His backer was the Xiao Group. What problem could there be with just a few employees making a fuss about leaving?
"Get out, all of you, get out."
The people who came in were all taken aback by Ye Minghua's attitude. They were so angry that they couldn't speak. After a while, they turned around and left in tacit agreement.
As for the acquisition of the company's shares, let whoever wants to say it say it. Anyway, they are no longer employees of the Ye family, and what happens to this lousy company has nothing to do with them.
After the group left, the office fell silent again. Ye Minghua frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
The moment the idea crossed his mind, his phone, which was lying on the table, rang.
"Hello? What's up?"
Ye Minghua glanced at it, his attitude remaining nonchalant.
The caller was his secretary. Although he didn't approve of her, she was very capable, so he couldn't say anything.
"Mr. Ye, our company is doomed."
"What do you mean 'finished'? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll fire you."
Ye Minghua frowned and said coldly, but the secretary's tone became increasingly flustered.
"It's true, Mr. Ye. Just now, someone bought all of our company's shares at a low price, so the Ye Group is probably going to disappear completely now."
After a string of words was spoken, Ye Minghua could no longer hear anything. His hand loosened, and the phone fell to the ground.
Ye Minghua slumped into the chair, his face pale.
"By the way, Lin Ran, I'll go ask Lin Ran for money. She must have a way to save the company."
Ye Minghua suddenly stood up, grabbed his phone from the ground, and ran away, completely losing his previous calm and composed demeanor.
He arrived at the Xiao Group building, but was stopped by the people at the entrance.
“I am your CEO Xiao’s father-in-law! If you dare not let me in, you can expect to be fired.”
Ye Minghua had never been treated like this before, and immediately started arguing with him.
"I'm sorry, during working hours, you cannot enter without an appointment, no matter who you are."
The Xiao Group is located in the city center, and even during working hours, there are many people around. Ye Minghua clenched his fists, but ultimately did not continue to cause trouble. He turned around and went to the small park next to him.
It doesn't matter if he can't get in; just let Lin Ran out.
Realizing this, he immediately took out his phone.
The first call was disconnected, so he made a second, a third...
The call was finally answered when Lin Ran could no longer bear it.
What are you calling for?
"I'm downstairs at your office. Come down and see me right now."
Faced with this woman, Ye Minghua subconsciously began to give her orders.
Lin Ran frowned slightly, glanced at everyone in the conference room, and decisively hung up the phone.
But before she could even step into the conference room, her phone rang urgently again.
The buzzing vibrations were like a death knell. Lin Ran suppressed her anger, greeted Song Nuan, and went downstairs.
She glanced around and immediately spotted Ye Minghua.
"What do you want from me?"
Ye Minghua was still angry, but when he heard Lin Ran's voice, he was startled and turned his head around, pretending to be calm.
Why did you hang up on me just now?
Lin Ran pursed her lips impatiently, took out her phone and glanced at the time.
"I don't have time for your nonsense. Just say what you have to say."
"If you're just here to see me, then I don't think we have anything to talk about."
Lin Ran's cold and tough attitude displeased Ye Minghua, but considering the reason he came here, he still held back.
"Something's come up at the company. Give me a million to tide me over."
Ye Minghua's attitude was so calm that Lin Ran even doubted whether she had misheard.
"Are you OK?"
Lin Ran sneered, a mocking smirk playing on her lips.
"Why should I give you money, a million?"
"Let me tell you, I don't have a single penny. If you want it, go ask your precious daughter, Ye Chuchu."
Lin Ran said without hesitation, but she didn't expect Ye Minghua to take action directly outside.
With a snap, the two of them froze simultaneously.
Lin Ran covered her slightly numb cheek and stared blankly at Ye Minghua, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Even though she already knew what kind of person Ye Minghua was, she never expected that he would show no respect in public. Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered in the Ye family, she could no longer bear it and turned to leave.
Ye Minghua wanted to stop him, but then he looked at his hands and silently stopped.
After a long while, Ye Minghua cursed under his breath.
"You unfilial brat."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ran suddenly turned around and looked at him with a sarcastic gaze.
"I'm not filial? And who do you think you are?"
"Don't come looking for me again."
Concealing the disgust in her eyes, Lin Ran turned and left without a trace of lingering affection.
