The Sweetest Marriage (2)

Ch. 319: Called Dad

Jiang Ye's visit this time wasn't just for a meal. After dinner, he headed straight to the study with Wei Chen; it seemed there was something they needed to discuss.

As Wei Chen and Jiang Ye's collaboration unfolded over the past two years, their joint projects increased significantly. This time, in the study, they delved into some business matters. Both had remarkable business acumen and shared similar interests, so their discussions were naturally fruitful.

"I just returned from Shanghai yesterday," Jiang Ye mentioned after concluding their business discussions. "I met Chen Shihuai and Chen Yunsheng at a banquet."

The Chen Shihuai and Chen Yunsheng at this banquet were vastly different from their past selves.

Previously, whether it was at Shanghai's banquet or any other event, Chen Shihuai and Chen Yunsheng used to be the center of attention, the focal points. However, the Chen Shihuai and Chen Yunsheng at the recent banquet attended by Jiang Ye were meek and humble, attempting to forge connections, seeking assistance from those they once belittled and looked down upon, hoping for a helping hand to revive their fortunes.

However, the world operated as such: adding icing on the cake was easy, but extending help in times of need was much more challenging. Moreover, considering the way the Chen family had behaved previously, there were few willing to extend a helping hand to them in their time of need.

Wei Chen raised an eyebrow, not showing much interest in these two individuals. Deep down, he had an inkling of what fate awaited these two.

Two months prior, the Chen Corp. in Shanghai had ceased to exist as the Chen Corp. Chen Shihuai and Chen Yunsheng, unable to resist Wei Chen's pressure in their bid for a fresh start, had sold off all of Chen Corp.'s shares at a low price. At that moment, the Chen Corp. had been renamed as 'Dawn' and was no longer under the umbrella of the Chen family's enterprises.

To this day, the people in Shanghai were unaware of the true manipulator behind Dawn. They only knew that this individual controlled over sixty percent of Dawn's shares, wielding absolute power within the company.

While the people in Shanghai were oblivious, Jiang Ye knew the truth. The one with significant control over Dawn was Wei Chen. However, the sixty-three percent of shares weren't under Wei Chen's name; most likely, they belonged to Chen Li.

Moreover, Jiang Ye speculated that Chen Li probably remained unaware of this situation. He had unwittingly become the largest shareholder in a company, and with a mere flip of his hand, he could bring about significant turmoil within that enterprise.

Nevertheless, even though Jiang Ye knew, he was certain that Wei Chen hadn't informed Chen Li. Naturally, Wei Chen wouldn't spill the beans to Chen Li. This was Wei Chen's way of compensating for Chen Li. Considering how the Chen family mistreated Chen Li for so many years, Jiang Ye didn't find Wei Chen's actions too excessive.

The conversation between the two didn't linger on the Chen father and son but shifted to the Chen family in Beijing.

While this blow might not have struck at the fundamental roots of the Chen family, it had severed several of their pathways, resulting in substantial losses.

Furthermore, the ongoing large-scale operation targeting dr*g traffickers had forced the Chen family to tone down their activities. However, it was certain that the Chen family wouldn't take this lying down. With Wei Chen and him teaming up to cut off their routes, how could they simply let it pass?

Jiang Ye and Wei Chen were not individuals who easily slackened. They didn't let the success of the Changfeng Group's Transportation Department make them complacent; instead, they remained vigilant. They understood that once the Chen family caught their breath, they would retaliate.
