Seeing Old Madam Su behave so coldly and mercilessly, Su Ruoxue clenched her fists, a blazing anger burning within her.She understood that simply because she was a daughter, she couldn't earn Old Madam Su's approval.
Now that Old Madam Su had received the invitation for the Marshal's grand ceremony, Ruoxue had lost her value and Old Madam Su could oppress her at will. Stay connected through M V L
Standing by, Su Yue echoed, "Did you hear that? Su Ruoxue, our Su Family doesn't need trash. If you can do it, do it; if not, get lost quickly!"
"You want my Ruoxue to get lost? Do you still remember how you all begged her to come back last time?" Ye Fan sneered.
Old Madam Su's gaze narrowed as she said in a deep voice, "It's not about expelling Ruoxue from the Su Family. As the general manager, it's her responsibility to collect the payment. If the payment can't be recovered, it's merely a suspension. You don't need to worry. The twenty percent share I promised before is still valid!"
After Su Tianhao was severely injured and hospitalized, Old Madam Su schemed against Su Ruoxue. She had to find a way to suppress Ruoxue's arrogance within the Su Family.
In recent times, as Su Ruoxue served as the company's general manager, she had won people's hearts, and many veterans began to support her, which endangered Su Tianhao's position.
Therefore, she prepared to suppress Su Ruoxue using the Xu Family's debt of eighty million to Su Family as an excuse, to suspend Ruoxue from her position as general manager until Su Tianhao recovered and was discharged, then allowing Su Tianhao to continue serving as the general manager.
Before the Su Family officially became a first-rate clan, Old Madam Su would not openly tear her face with Ruoxue.
Otherwise, if the Tianba Group ended their cooperation with the Su Family again, they would have to beg Su Ruoxue to return in a pathetic state, a loss outweighing the gain.
"Is that so?" Ye Fan's expression was ice-cold; he could see that Old Madam Su was up to no good.
Old Madam Su snorted coldly, "The matter is settled just like that, Ye Fan. I will personally seek a statement from you about hitting Tianhao later!"
"Hmph!" Su Yue also showed disdain.
Led by Old Madam Su, Su Yue and Cao Xuan both left the scene with mocking faces.
Once the three had left, Su Ruoxue sighed helplessly, "Grandma just wants to curb my influence in the Su Family. It's not so easy to demand payment from the Xu Family!"
"Ruoxue, what's the background of this Xu Family? Why are they defaulting on the Su Family's payment?" Ye Fan asked.
Su Ruoxue sighed, "The Xu Family is one of the few super family clans in Central Plains. It is said that last month, the Xu Family's assets broke through fifty billion. In the clan circles, that's a colossal presence. Why the Xu Family defaults on the Su Family's payment, I'm not entirely clear!" seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"But I know that Xu Ruoxuan, the heiress of the Xu Family, is now in charge. Xu Ruoxuan and I attended the same university. She is the pride of heaven. During university, Xu Ruoxuan and I had a conflict. Grandma is asking me to collect the payment from the Xu Family, but getting past Xu Ruoxuan alone is going to be difficult!"
"What kind of conflict?" Ye Fan asked.
He knew Su Ruoxue well; other than her dealings within the Su Family, she was non-confrontational. How could she possibly have had a rift with the Xu Family heir?
Speaking of the past, Su Ruoxue forced a bitter smile, "It wasn't really a conflict, just that back at Central Plains University, someone decided to rank the school's goddesses, and I, along with Xu Ruoxuan, ended up at the eye of the storm, eventually tying for first place in the votes!"
"Xu Ruoxuan is a talented woman, capable and strong. Not long after, she was sent abroad to study. But I heard that she harboured resentment about tying for first place!"
"There was such a thing?" Ye Fan couldn't help but smile wryly.
Su Ruoxue nodded, "Yeah! I've encountered Xu Ruoxuan once in school, she didn't spare me a glance, and at that time, neither did I!"
"Alright then!"
Ye Fan was both amused and astonished; he truly hadn't expected that Su Ruoxue had such history with Xu Ruoxuan.
Su Ruoxue continued, "Although Xu Ruoxuan is somewhat proud, she is well ordered in her affairs. Over the years, under her leadership, the Xu Family's market valuation has skyrocketed. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be withholding payment from the Su Family because of me—it's strange!"
"Ruoxue, why don't you reach out to Xu Ruoxuan? I'll help you try to see if I can get the payment back!" Ye Fan suggested.
Su Ruoxue was surprised, "Aren't you supposed to go to work at Dihao Group?"
"I took the day off today!" Ye Fan said offhandedly.
Now that his identity as the chairman of Dihao Group had been exposed, there was no need to go to Dihao Group anymore. If he visited too frequently, Vice Chairman Guan Yue might end up dumping all the work on him and he would definitely have a headache.
Upon hearing this, Su Ruoxue said, "Alright, I'll contact Xu Ruoxuan to test the waters!"
"Mhm!" Ye Fan said with a smile.
Su Ruoxue returned to the office, found the Xu Family's phone number, and didn't hesitate to call.
A few minutes later, Su Ruoxue came to Ye Fan and said, "I've made contact. Xu Ruoxuan said we can meet at the Fleeting Luxury Car Club at one in the afternoon!"
"Sure, I'll go there at one!" Ye Fan said softly.
After leaving Su Corporation, Ye Fan hurried to Yaozhen Pavilion. Kong Xuan had said that she would have the other medicinal ingredients ready by noon. Zhuang Jingwen had suffered severe Qi damage and needed a large amount of medicinal materials to replenish her vital energy.
On the way, Ye Fan opened a webpage and entered the three characters "Xu Ruoxuan." To his surprise, he actually found a Baidu Baike entry about her.
Xu Ruoxuan, female, twenty-four years old, born in Central Plains, is nationally recognized as a daughter of heaven.
She grew up studying the Four Books and Five Classics, knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and excelled in her studies from a young age. At eighteen, she was admitted to Central Plains University as the top scorer in the province. At nineteen, she was directly promoted to The Imperial Capital's College, and at twenty, she was accepted into the world's number one Harvard University. At twenty-one, she completed her graduate studies, a legendary graduate!
At twenty-two, she finished her doctorate, also graduating legendarily, breaking several world records with her appearance!
At twenty-three, she returned to Central Plains and took the lead at the Xu Family, growing their hundred billion assets to five hundred billion within just two years, directly transitioning the Xu Family from a top-tier wealthy family to a Super Family Clan.
According to tests, Xu Ruoxuan has an IQ of 165, equal to the great scientist and physicist Einstein, and is globally recognized as a genius with high intelligence.
After reading Xu Ruoxuan's Baidu Baike page, Ye Fan was shocked and said, "This Xu Ruoxuan really is something!"
Ye Fan also realized that under the shrewd leadership of Xu Ruoxuan, it was impossible for the Xu Family to owe Su Family eighty million in goods for no reason; there had to be more to the story.
Arriving at Yaozhen Pavilion, Kong Xuan had already prepared the medicinal materials he needed. After settling the bill, Ye Fan quickly returned to Tianhu Mountain Villa.
"Back so soon?" Zhuang Jingwen was surprised to see Ye Fan return.
Ye Fan said with a smile, "There wasn't much to do outside, just took a little stroll and came back!"
"Hmm!"
Zhuang Jingwen hummed in acknowledgement. Her sexy red lips parted slightly, as she seemed to have something to say but was too embarrassed to speak out.
"What's the matter, Sister Jingwen? Just say it, don't be polite with me!" Ye Fan prompted.
Hearing this, Zhuang Jingwen's complexion flushed with a swoosh, and she said shyly while avoiding Ye Fan's gaze, "I... I have an injury on my waist, and it's inconvenient for me to get up. Can you carry me to the restroom?"
"To... to the restroom?" Ye Fan was taken aback.
Yes, Zhuang Jingwen had injuries on her waist and right arm, which indeed made it inconvenient for her to go to the restroom.
If he were to carry Zhuang Jingwen to the restroom, given the serious injury on her right arm, she certainly wouldn't be able to take down her pants conveniently.
Wouldn't it mean that...
Thump!
In an instant, a daring idea popped into Ye Fan's mind.
