NOVEL NEXT Chapter 213 Resignation
The response, though sounding somewhat comical, was delivered with unwavering conviction when it came from Hong Du.
After saying this, Hong Du's voice weakened, and with an almost pleading tone, he spoke to He Lei, "Director He, I only have tens of thousands now. When the bomb exploded, my leg was crushed by a boulder that fell, and I want to get proper treatment for my legs. Could I possibly..."
He Lei hung up the phone directly.
If Bana Distillery were still around, He Lei might have considered helping Hong Du for old times' sake.
But now, not only did Hong Du lose Bana Distillery, but he also had no use to anyone.
He was not willing to spend even a little money on a crippled man.
After hanging up the phone, the office fell into sudden silence.
The self-assured expression on He Lei's face vanished, and Lu Xing, with a grave look, advised, "Director He, Wang Ye is very skillful."
"The old Family Head dominated the business world, and before Wang Ye came into the picture, he was almost undefeated. Ever since Wang Ye arrived, the old Family Head has suffered losses under his hand repeatedly, to the extent that all of Yun City's Four Great Families' heads were forced to step down by Wang Ye."
"For one individual to force the heads of Yun City's four major families to step down, I fear only the combined efforts of provincial city people suppressing the Yuncheng Four Great Families could exhibit such capability."
After speaking, Lu Xing stared at He Lei.
"Are you saying that I shouldn't target Wang Ye and that I should also apologize to Wang Ye for today and past issues?" Lu Xing looked at He Lei with a grim expression.
"Yes," Lu Xing nodded.
"Bullshit!"
He Lei stood up from his seat, eyes filled with rage: "What makes him, Wang Ye, worthy?"
"I don't believe that I can't deal with just one Wang Ye. He's not a god!"
"If I can't handle him alone, then I'll directly seek out those provincial city people, find provincial families to unite against him. I refuse to believe that I really can't handle him on my own!"
He Lei appeared almost deranged, his eyes radiating a wild fury.
At first, He Lei's struggle with Wang Ye was solely over Fang Feifei. But after several rounds of conflict and failures,
the thought of taking Wang Ye down had become an obsession in He Lei's heart.
"Sigh."
Lu Xing sighed. He knew that no matter what he said next, it would be of no use.
Rising to his feet, the fifty-something Lu Xing had always projected an image of agelessness to the public, but at that moment, he seemed profoundly weary.
Lu Xing looked at He Lei and began, "Director He, I, Lu Xing, joined the He Family thirty years ago."
"What are you trying to do?"
Lu Xing didn't immediately respond to He Lei's question, but continued on his own, "For thirty years, I've worked diligently and faithfully for the He Family. I won't claim to have made huge contributions, but I've never made a mistake during my tenure."
"Now that I'm over fifty, although I'm not yet of retirement age, I'd like to start living a retired life early. Go fishing. Watch square dancing."
"I hope you'll grant me this request, Director He."
Lu Xing knew that if He Lei continued to offend Wang Ye and proceeded blindly, the entire He Family might be doomed.
Even though Wang Ye had not made his move yet.
The He Family had the support of provincial families to fall back on.
But Lu Xing just had this feeling.
Better to retire now when he could still leave with a clean slate before his retirement.
...
In the next few days, Wang Ye busied himself with resolving the issues surrounding Bana Distillery.
The trusted confidants from Hong Du were directly dismissed, allowing Tan Long's trustworthy and capable subordinates to manage the Bana Distillery.
As for those who still wanted to continue working, the original employees of Bana Distillery could also stay on at the distillery.
Additionally, there were many orders for liquor, so in the past few days, Wang Ye had basically been working overtime non-stop to deal with the distillery issues, hardly resting at all.
It wasn't until today that all the issues with the distillery were finally resolved.
"All the issues with the distillery have finally been resolved."
Wang Ye lay on the sofa, and even though he had developed a strong physique under the guidance of his master from a young age, days of intensive work had still left him feeling very weary.
"Wang Ye, come soak your feet."
Fang Feifei placed a wooden tub filled with hot water on the floor, submerged Wang Ye's feet in the water, and looked at him while asking, "How's the temperature?"
"Just right."
"Then that's good."
Only then did Fang Feifei submerge Wang Ye's entire feet into the tub, slowly massaging them with her small hands.
Su Wanqing stood behind Wang Ye, kneading his shoulders, and seeing the weariness on his face, she felt very distressed.
Since knowing Wang Ye, Su Wanqing had never seen such a look of exhaustion on his face.
Now, Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei were able to be together by Wang Ye's side and got along very harmoniously.
However, neither Su Wanqing nor Fang Feifei had taken the final step with Wang Ye.
After all, Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei couldn't possibly take care of Wang Ye together on the first night, could they?
But for them to take the initiative didn't seem quite right either.
It would hurt their harmony.
So, Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei were waiting for Wang Ye to take the initiative and to do… what needed to be done with the two of them.
But Wang Ye was just too much of a straightforward man.
He seemed completely unaware of it.
"I said a few days ago that I would take you to look at houses, and yet until now, I still haven't taken you to see any." Wang Ye spoke apologetically to Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei.
"It's okay, the Suye Group has just started, there are many things to be busy with, and looking at houses isn't urgent," Su Wanqing said.
Fang Feifei also added, "Besides, none of us are short on houses, so there's no need to insist on buying another one."
Both Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei didn't see much need for it.
But Wang Ye shook his head: "No, buying a house is a must, after all, ever since I came down from the mountain, I still don't have a house of my own."
"Moreover, only when I have my own house can I truly feel like I've settled down in the secular world."
Although Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei both had houses to spare, Wang Ye saw it as a different matter altogether.
Listening to these words from Wang Ye, Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei didn't say anything further.
They simply nodded in agreement.
They agreed to go house hunting together the next day.
Dinglingling.
Wang Ye's phone rang.
Su Wanqing reached over to hand Wang Ye the phone, which displayed the name "Liu Na."
