"Don't you all want to know what happened?"
Zhou Mao walked over with a chuckle, grinning.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zhou Mao.
Jiang Yi also couldn't help but look at Zhou Mao.
Judging by Zhou Mao's demeanor, the matter seemed to be closely related to him.
However, Jiang Yi was puzzled. Zhou Mao was not part of the Tian Sheng Group, and it was his first day here. How could he possess such capabilities?
"What happened?" Jiang Yi asked Zhou Mao curiously.
"I just went to find Ye Yanran!"
Zhou Mao said with a grin.
"I told Ye Yanran that Tao Shen was causing trouble for you just now. I thought she wouldn't intervene, but to my surprise, after hearing this, she directly called the HR manager and had Tao Shen fired!"
Jiang Yi was speechless upon hearing this!
Zhou Mao had actually gone to find Ye Yanran for such a trivial matter.
He wondered what Ye Yanran was thinking to actually fire Tao Shen!
He Meimei, Luo Gang, and Yang Dawei all sneered. They didn't believe Zhou Mao's words at all.
They were unaware that Ye Yanran was married to Jiang Yi.
Nor did they know that Ye Yanran was the chairperson of Tian Sheng Group.
"Zhou Mao, your and Jiang Yi's ability to put on a show is truly impressive. Ye Yanran was the campus belle back in our school. How could she possibly marry Jiang Yi, this beggar? Are you treating us like idiots?" He Meimei said with a cold laugh.
"Besides, how could Ye Yanran, with her capabilities, be the chairperson of Tian Sheng Group..." Yang Dawei also chimed in.
"You people are too short-sighted!"
Zhou Mao was displeased.
"Enough!"
Jiang Yi stopped Zhou Mao.
"Stop messing around. I'm here for business."
Zhou Mao, who had intended to continue embarrassing them, had to give up upon hearing this.
Zhou Mao was increasingly annoyed by them and wanted to teach them a good lesson.
Just then, Ye Yanran came downstairs with her secretary.
When He Meimei, Yang Dawei, and Luo Gang saw Ye Yanran, they were taken aback.
Soon, Ye Yanran walked over.
Seeing He Meimei and the others were also there, Ye Yanran smiled slightly.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect the three of you to be here as well. We haven't seen each other since graduation. How have you all been?"
Upon hearing Ye Yanran's voice, He Meimei and the other two snapped back to reality.
"You... you are the chairperson of Tian Sheng Group?" He Meimei asked in disbelief.
"Yes!"
Ye Yanran nodded, "I can only be considered a temporary chairperson."
After speaking, Ye Yanran glanced at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi had given Tian Sheng Group to Ye Yanran. Without him, she would still be in that small town in Jiang City, and she would never have had the chance to come to Lidu City.
Seeing that Ye Yanran had become an important figure, He Meimei, Luo Gang, and Yang Dawei immediately crowded around her, greeting her with utmost respect.
"Yanran, you are so capable. I always thought you would achieve great things when we were studying."
"Of course, Yanran is the most accomplished among all our classmates."
"Yanran, we are so proud to have you as our classmate!"
...
He Meimei and the others' attitude towards Ye Yanran was worlds apart from their attitude towards Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao.
Ye Yanran did not put on airs and chatted with He Meimei and the others.
In fact, Ye Yanran was not foolish.
From what they had said earlier, she could tell that He Meimei and the other two were snobs.
However, as they were classmates, Ye Yanran did not dwell on it.
"Yanran, I heard you married Jiang Yi. Is that true?" He Meimei asked Ye Yanran.
"Yes!"
Ye Yanran forced a smile.
"We divorced later!"
Upon hearing He Meimei mention this, Ye Yanran's expression became complicated.
"Yanran, your choice was absolutely right!"
He Meimei said, "Jiang Yi is a good-for-nothing, a beggar. He only knows how to rely on women for a living. How could he be worthy of you? We all support your divorce from Jiang Yi!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Ye Yanran's face faded.
Fearing that Jiang Yi might be angry, Ye Yanran secretly glanced at Jiang Yi before quickly looking away.
"I have a lot of things to handle. Let's talk another day!" Ye Yanran's attitude suddenly turned cold.
He Meimei sensed Ye Yanran's coldness and did not understand what she had said wrong.
"I warn you, don't ever call Jiang Yi a good-for-nothing in front of me again. If he's a good-for-nothing, then you are worse than good-for-nothing. Do you know who founded Tian Sheng Group?" Ye Yanran said coldly.
"Could it be Jiang Yi?" He Meimei couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, he founded it!"
Ye Yanran stated.
Upon hearing this, He Meimei, Yang Dawei, and Luo Gang were all stunned and couldn't help but look at Jiang Yi.
The tables had turned so quickly that they couldn't react.
They found it hard to believe, but the facts were right before their eyes.
"What? You still don't believe it?"
Zhou Mao grinned, "Do you still think Jiang Yi and I are beggars? If you think so, then so be it. We are not like you snobs."
"What happened before was a misunderstanding!"
Yang Dawei was the first to react, saying to Jiang Yi with a smile.
"I didn't intentionally mock or insult you earlier; I was forced by He Meimei!"
"I was also forced by He Meimei. She made us humiliate you together. Please be magnanimous and consider our previous words as nonsense!" Luo Gang also quickly added.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh.
These two individuals were truly shameless.
In just a moment, they had shifted all the blame onto He Meimei.
"You're talking nonsense. I didn't intend to humiliate Jiang Yi..." He Meimei quickly said.
"We are not talking nonsense!"
Yang Dawei sneered, "You just told me and Luo Gang personally that you weren't sincerely helping Jiang Yi find a job, and you just wanted to play tricks on Jiang Yi and humiliate him."
Luo Gang also said, "That's right, I heard it too."
He Meimei was furious.
"You are more detestable than me. You just said you wanted to sever all ties with Jiang Yi, and you even advised me to do the same. As classmates, how could you do something like this?" He Meimei said.
The three of them started to argue.
Just a moment ago, they had been cooperating seamlessly to humiliate Jiang Yi, and now they had fallen out.
Ye Yanran frowned upon hearing their words.
"Do Yang Dawei and Luo Gang, as well as He Meimei, have any business dealings with our company?" Ye Yanran asked her secretary.
