Chapter 1154 Wang Xingyi takes advantage of the situation
But the situation was stronger than him. Even though he knew Wang Xingyi was taking advantage of the situation, he could only swallow his anger:
"Brother Wang's difficulties, I understand! The Wang family helped my Ye family overcome difficulties. I, Ye Wenyuan, will always remember this kindness. The Ye family... will naturally not treat the Wang family unfairly!"
He paused, as if he had made some great decision, and spoke the concession word by word:
"This is it! In Shan Province, regarding the large coal mining area jointly developed by the Ye and Wang families, all of the Ye family's shares and future profits...will be unconditionally transferred to the Wang family!"
"This is a token of gratitude for the Wang family's generous assistance! It can also be considered as... a strong explanation to you, Brother Wang, within the family!"
"The mountain province mining area? All the profits?!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xingyi's eyes instantly burst into an unconcealable brilliance. Although he quickly suppressed it, the slight, almost imperceptible upward curve of the corner of his mouth still exposed his inner ecstasy!
He originally thought that even if Ye Wenyuan was prepared to offer some benefits to impress him, the two sides would still have to engage in some tug-of-war.
I didn't expect that he agreed so easily. It seems that the three alliances really put a lot of pressure on him. They actually asked him to take out the cooperation project in Shan Province.
You have to know that the mining area is of great value and has broad prospects. The two companies took great efforts to acquire it and agreed to jointly develop it, with each taking half of the profits.
The half held by the Ye family means stable income for decades to come, and its value is conservatively estimated at 500 billion!
Now, in exchange for the Wang family's support, Ye Wenyuan is willing to hand over this huge piece of fat meat! This means that the Wang family can enjoy all the profits of the entire mining area alone!
The huge benefits made Wang Xingyi's heart beat violently.
He knew that this was the greatest sincerity Ye Wenyuan could show at the moment!
Forcing it any further will only backfire.
Moreover, Ye Wenyuan was right. If the Ye family fell, the Wang family would indeed be in dire straits.
This deal can not only bring in huge profits, but also ensure the future strategic security of the Wang family. It is a sure win!
After getting the benefits he wanted, the embarrassment on Wang Xingyi's face melted away like ice and snow, and was instantly replaced by a false expression of "righteousness".
He slammed the table and feigned anger, "Brother Ye! What are you talking about?! Our families have been friends for generations, and we are as close as brothers!"
"Now that the Ye family is in trouble, it is only natural for my Wang family to lend a hand!"
"What are you talking about in return? Isn't this just a slap in my face?!"
After that, he stood up, walked to Ye Wenyuan, patted Ye Wenyuan's shoulder vigorously, and said in a "sincere" tone:
"However... since Brother Ye has said this, this 'explanation' can indeed shut up those ignorant people in the clan!"
"Well, Brother Ye, don't worry! I'll rush back right now and gather the core members of the family for another emergency meeting!"
"With this 'explanation' in hand, I will definitely argue with them and convince them! I'll try to... give you good news as soon as possible!"
Looking at Wang Xingyi's hypocritical and ungrateful face, Ye Wenyuan felt a wave of nausea in his stomach.
He resisted the urge to vomit, but had to put on a grateful smile. He held Wang Xingyi's hand tightly, his voice choked with sobs:
"Brother Wang! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! The Ye family...I am leaving it to you!"
"Sure! Sure! Brother Ye, wait for my news!"
Wang Xingyi patted Ye Wenyuan's hand hard again, with a heroic attitude of "Leave it to me", then turned around, strode out of the study with a satisfied smile.
The moment the study door closed, the false gratitude on Ye Wenyuan's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by endless humiliation, anger and ice-cold murderous intent!
He stared at the direction where Wang Xingyi left, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound, his nails digging deeply into his palms, and he was completely unaware of the blood oozing out.
"Wang Xingyi...good! What a opportunist! I, Ye Wenyuan...will remember today's humiliation!" His gritted teeth whispered, like the roar of a wounded beast, echoing in the empty study.
Just as Wang Xingyi's disgusting figure disappeared outside the door, the study door was gently pushed open again.
Hearing the noise, Ye Wenyuan quickly suppressed the murderous intent and humiliation on his face, suppressed the boiling anger, and turned to look.
The one who came in was his wife, Lin Menglan.
She walked in softly, holding an exquisite white porcelain bowl.
Seeing her husband's face, which was still ashen but trying to calm down, and the document on the desk that had obviously been tightly grasped and had fingerprints on it, a trace of barely perceptible heartache flashed in her eyes.
"Wenyuan," Lin Menglan's voice was gentle and soft, with a soothing power. "I see you haven't slept much these past two days, so I made you a bowl of calming soup. Drink it while it's hot."
As she spoke, she gently placed the steaming bowl of soup in front of Ye Wenyuan.
Looking at his wife's concerned eyes and the bowl of soup with a faint medicinal aroma, Ye Wenyuan's cold anger was slightly dispelled and a hint of warmth appeared in his heart.
He pinched his brows tiredly, took the bowl, and sat back in his chair: "Well, thank you for your hard work."
He sipped the warm soup, trying to calm his inner anxiety.
Lin Menglan did not leave immediately, but stood quietly aside.
After Ye Wenyuan drank half a bowl, she spoke softly, with a hint of worry in her tone:
"Wenyuan, are you...really determined to join forces with the Wang family and confront them head-on?"
Ye Wenyuan paused while drinking his soup, then looked up at his wife with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Did you hear everything?"
Lin Menglan nodded slightly and did not deny it.
Seeing this, Ye Wenyuan put down the soup bowl and sighed deeply, the sigh full of helplessness and heaviness:
"It's not a head-on confrontation, Menglan. It's about showing our fangs and demonstrating our determination to fight to the death!"
His eyes became sharp again, with a fierceness that came from being forced into a desperate situation:
"That bastard Lu Feng is ruthless, and Shen Muyun and Li Zhengjun are taking advantage of the situation!"
"Do they think our Ye family is a lamb to be slaughtered? Humph! I want to let them know that even though we are in an absolute disadvantage this time, the Ye family is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be squeezed by anyone!"
"If they dare to push us into a desperate situation, we have the ability and determination to drag them down with us! The Wang family's intervention is a clear warning to them!"
"Before they take action, let them consider the cost and whether they can afford it..."
