Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

According to Ye Shaolong's words, Second Uncle's company ran into trouble with an order, and after spending a large amount of money and resources, an unexpected incident led to significant damage to the production items. This resulted in the inability to deliver on the contract's specified date.

If there's a breach of contract, a hefty penalty must be paid. Of course, the goods won't be wanted anymore, so manpower, resources, material costs, and other expenses would add up to enough to topple a company worth tens of millions.

There's only a week left until the deadline. It's simply too late.

"Zhang Yuxuan is the eldest grandson of Zhang Yuan, the patriarch of the Four Great Families in the Capital City. Their financial backing is very strong, although not as large as the Ren Family. But compared to my family, it's significantly bigger."

"What else?"

"That's all. This incident at your Second Uncle's company is entirely due to someone's manipulation behind the scenes. Without evidence, there's no way to point fingers at the other party."

"What can be done?"

"The solution is simple. Help him pay the fines. Or, use our production line to collaborate and rush out that batch of goods within a week."

"Rush the goods."

"Are you footing the bill?" Li Kuo said casually.

"Ask my Second Uncle for forty-nine percent of their company's shares," Xiaofan said calmly.

"Really?"

"Come on, are you short on cash? Stop acting like a business person, will you? Get him to issue a promissory note."

"A promissory note? Fine, at least owe us rather than the bank. The bank isn't willing to lend it anyway. Plus, borrowing our money means no interest."

The casual chit-chat ended, leaving them to investigate the Four Great Families.

The reason they became the Four Great Families is due to their powerful corporate wealth accumulated over the years, and their family members are incredibly talented.

In other words, trying to easily let Zhang Yuxuan face defeat is impossible.

"The one collaborating with your Second Uncle is a subsidiary of the Zhang Family."

"Aircraft models? Electronic control?" Xiaofan asked casually, looking at the computer data.

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence. What your Second Uncle's family produces isn't finished products but important components, which are finally turned into finished products by the Zhang Family's subsidiary and then sold to the next buyer. And this next buyer happens to be an industry under our family's name, heh heh..."

"Oh? Such a coincidence?"

"No, Zhang Yuxuan must've done it deliberately. Because he also signed a contract with our subsidiary. If he doesn't deliver to us on time, he's breaching the contract as well," Li Kuo stated with a faint smile.

"If he included the breach clauses of cooperation with your family's subsidiary into the contract with my Second Uncle's company, if my Second Uncle doesn't deliver, he'd have to pay fines for two contracts. Truly ruthless."

"However, moving our production line over would also cause significant losses," Li Kuo said, furrowing his brow.

"Is the penalty enough?"

"Just a bit short. Around thirty million."

"This thirty million is on me."

"Tch, the company is originally yours, you're the boss, and you've spoken up, what else can I say?"

"Now, call and notify my Second Uncle."

"Now? It's so late?"

"Time is tight. There's only a week left, and if discussed tomorrow, it'll just waste another day on the contract and such."

"Seriously, give me your Second Uncle's phone number."

Meanwhile, in the independent villa where Zhang Yuxuan resides.

"What? Ye Shaolong's brother? Ye Xiaofan? How did this kid end up there? Damn it, he's hitting so hard, don't worry, I'll give you every cent, and I'll handle the medical expenses too. I want to see what tricks Ye Xiaofan has up his sleeve. I've got my eyes on Ye Shaolong's family company."

Although Zhang Yuxuan knows the news, he's helpless. This matter seems about to succeed, and Ye Shaolong's family company is already meat on the chopping board. He refuses to believe Ye Xiaofan has such great abilities.

Back to the other side. At Ye Daqiao's home, there's no peace to sleep. The matter is crucial, and there's truly no turning back at this point.

"Mom, you go to sleep first, don't stay up," Ye Weiwei said slowly.

"How can I rest when none of you are asleep?"

"Things have reached this point, it's my fault for not letting you live a good life," Ye Daqiao said calmly.

"Having you here is my life; the money doesn't matter regardless of more or less. Daqiao, I have something valuable that might hold up for a while if sold," Liu Yun said as she walked into the bedroom and took out an exquisite box.

"Oh come on, keep those jewelry pieces, they're worth at most thousands or tens of thousands, it's not enough," Ye Daqiao said, waving his hand.

"No, this is different."

Upon saying this, Liu Yun gently opened the box, revealing a dark green jade bracelet that immediately caught everyone's eye.

"This, I don't remember gifting you a bracelet," Ye Daqiao said curiously.

"I got this authenticated, it's genuine, the market value is over twenty million..."

"What?"

Liu Yun's words surprised both Ye Weiwei and Ye Daqiao, causing them to stand up instantly.

"Twenty million? Are you kidding?"

Joking? No, the wife never jokes, especially not during such important matters.

"Where did you get this bracelet from?"

"Last week... wasn't it my birthday? Xiaofan had someone send it over. At the time, he said on the phone not to tell you, nor did he say how much the bracelet was worth. But that day I wore it out, a mahjong friend happened to see it, and from her words, it sounded very valuable, so I specially had it appraised. Jade, Hetian, top quality. An initial estimate, twenty million. If auctioned, twenty-five hundred would definitely fetch a sale."

Twenty million; Xiaofan actually gave her a gift worth twenty million. What's going on? Was she mistaken, or did the expert get it wrong?

Consequently, Liu Yun specifically called Xiaofan to inquire. Xiaofan didn't say its worth, ambiguously expressed that it doesn't matter as long as Aunt likes it.

From this sentence alone, the bracelet's high value is not hard to guess.

"Mom, are you sure it's the Ye Xiaofan we know?"

"What are you talking about? Who else would it be? Do you think I'd mistake Xiaofan's number?"

"Dad, this kid must've picked it up somewhere, otherwise, how could he have given it away so easily..." Ye Weiwei still doubted Xiaofan's kindness.

"Enough, even with twenty million, it's hard to ensure the company's stability. However, if we can persuade the other side to extend a few days, perhaps... You all go to sleep. Weiwei, don't worry about it, focus on your studies. Even without the company, your education is necessary." After saying this, Ye Daqiao returned to his study, evidently unwilling to retire so early.
