Chapter 241: Stars in Finery (2nd update)
Ye Wenjun's gaze merely paused on Fang Yu for a moment before looking forward.
Outside the villa, luxury cars, bodyguards, and drivers were all ready.
After Ye Wenjun got into the car, Fang Yu followed.
He sat beside Ye Wenjun somewhat awkwardly.
Scratching his head, he said, "Uh..."
"You look beautiful today."
Ye Wenjun's gaze was cold and her expression calm, she indifferently replied, "Oh."
"How about, we discuss it tonight?" Fang Yu suddenly tilted his head and said.
"..."
Discuss it?
Seeing the malicious smile on Fang Yu's face, Ye Wenjun frowned and ignored him.
...
Yanjing Commercial Union Center.
Outside the grand venue, row upon row of luxury cars were neatly arranged.
The red carpet, red balloons, and red flags fluttered in the wind.
At the entrance stood uniformly dressed handsome men and beautiful women, welcoming each important guest.
At this moment, several women walked out of the venue and looked outside.
"Zhu Hui, do you think Wenjun will come today?" the woman on the left said.
Zhu Hui, who was Ye Wenjun's best classmate.
She crossed her arms and said, "She will definitely come... Yanjing's business layout urgently needs restructuring, and as the president of Ye Corporation, how could she not come?"
"Aren't you her best friend? Why don't you go to her house?"
Hearing this question, Zhu Hui's face soured, remembering the scene of being kicked out that day, she felt annoyed.
"Just wait and watch the drama unfold," Zhu Hui indifferently said.
Hearing Zhu Hui speak like this, the woman next to her curiously said, "Are you serious? Ye Wenjun brought home a sloppy and shameless rogue as a son-in-law?"
"I'm Ye Wenjun's best friend, could my words be false?" Zhu Hui snorted softly.
"Oh my, this really blinds my values… Today, us sisters also want to see, which lucky rogue it is!"
"Exactly, Sister Zhu Hui, don't be upset. If she doesn't listen to your advice, it's her loss. Today is a big day, not to mention, business-wise, my dad and your dad are definitely on the same page!"
"Me too!"
"We all stand with Sister Zhu Hui."
Hearing this, Zhu Hui couldn't help but show a smug expression.
Year after year.
This group of women had always been dominated by Ye Wenjun, who held them down with her proud stance!
Indeed, whether it was beauty, talent, status, or power… none of the people in their circle could compare to even one-tenth of Ye Wenjun.
Now the Jin Family was destroyed.
The Zhao Family was gone.
The Ye Family was in turmoil, wanting to seize this opportunity to revive its glory!
But...
Limited resources, numerous wolves. Others wouldn't agree, obviously!
...
Various bigwigs arrived one by one.
Zhu Hui and her sisters only watched for a while, then said, "Let's go... There are more important people we need to connect with, let's not focus on one person."
"You're right."
"Let's go!"
Ever since being driven out by the Ye Family that day, Zhu Hui had harbored resentment.
Just because it's a Martial Arts Family?
The Jin Family and Zhao Family didn't manage to destroy you, the Ye Family, you were just lucky!
Now as Yanjing's situation changes, the absence of the Jin and Zhao families doesn't mean the Ye Family can dominate Yanjing alone!
As Ye Wenjun's best friend, Zhu Hui was very aware of the Ye Family's situation—Ye Xingkong was seriously injured, Old Master Ye was aging, the Hidden Dragon guards betrayed, and Zhong Long and Zhong Hu were in their twilight years!
Anyone with clear eyes knew, the Ye Family could last at most two more years!
How could a weak woman support the entire Ye Corporation?
Zhu Hui sneered inwardly, murmuring, "Ye Wenjun, I treated you like a sister, and you really treated me like a bug... Don't be too proud now, you'll see what's coming!"
During the conversation,
a portly man dressed solemnly, slowly approached. Numerous bodyguards wearing sunglasses followed him.
The man, upon seeing Zhu Hui, couldn't help but be dazzled and greeted her: "Little Hui…"
Zhu Hui smiled brightly, greeted her sisters, and went over to him: "Mr. Mu graces us with his presence, Zhu Hui apologizes for not welcoming you sooner, please forgive me!"
"Your tongue has gotten sweeter in the few days we haven't seen each other, and you look even more radiant! So, has the girl from the Ye Corporation arrived yet?" Mr. Mu squinted and smiled.
"She should be arriving shortly… This restructuring of Yanjing's commerce, Mr. Mu must seize the opportunity!" Zhu Hui said.
"Naturally! I have an unbreakable friendship with Zhang Feifan, the Chairman of Yanjing Commercial Union… Initially, three major families dominated Yanjing's commerce, and our Mu Family, being stuck in Jin City, could not get in! Now that the three major families have fallen, how could I miss this opportunity?" Mr. Mu's eyes glinted like fire.
"Mr. Mu truly has foresight."
As she said this, Zhu Hui stepped forward and took his arm, "Let's go to the meeting."
"Mhm, once that girl arrives, I'll defend your honor!"
"Thank you, Mr. Mu."
As they spoke, Mu Yun's large hand pinched Zhu Hui's buttock.
…
Approaching ten in the morning.
Various big shots gathered.
Those who were talking business did so, and those discussing cooperation did the same.
However, they all knew that today's meeting would determine Yanjing's future commercial layout.
"Chairman Zhang Feifan of the Commercial Federation has arrived!"
Various company bosses rushed over.
Handing out business cards, greeting, recognizing godfathers…
Soon after, prominent CEOs and bosses from major companies in Yanjing also arrived.
The scene was bustling with energy.
As Chairman, Zhang Feifan wore a calm expression, his gaze sweeping over everyone. When he noticed Mu Yun among the crowd, he paused momentarily, then squeezed through.
Everyone just watched.
"Brother Mu, how come you are here?" Zhang Feifan exclaimed in surprise.
"Brother Zhang, since you're hosting this meeting and welcoming talents, of course, I had to come show my support!" Mu Yun said with a beaming smile.
"That's great! With you here, our Commercial Federation has gained more weight!"
A murmur of surprise sounded in the crowd.
"That person seems to be from the Mu Family of Jin City!"
Many people gasped, admiringly saying: "The Mu Family from Jin City! That's a Martial Arts Family…"
"Who would bother competing now? With a major family stepping in, these important resources have to be handed over to them!"
"Don't be so pessimistic! The Ye Family isn't just sitting idly by!"
"Oh, come on, just a young girl, a family of the old, weak, and sick, how long can they hold out?"
"Even without Ye Wenjun, there are still others. I have a feeling, anyone who can attend today is competent."
"I agree with that."
Everyone nodded.
While everyone was actively discussing —
A clear voice rang out.
"Ye Wenjun has arrived!"
Swish, swish, swish!
All eyes followed and turned to gaze.
Regarded to be an unrivaled beauty according to rumors…
At the entrance door, on a long red carpet,
As if from centuries past, Ye Wenjun in her full regalia walked slowly, neither rushed nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant…
Her fair face bore determination and persistence that belied her age.
Her beautiful eyes held unimaginable calm and composure.
This, was Ye Wenjun!
Like the brightest star among the stars in the sky!
Upon her arrival, Ye Wenjun immediately drew everyone's attention.
Among the presence of socialites, beauties, princesses, ladies… By comparison, all seemed to pale!
