What was Ye Zhi's status now? Did she care about entering the Cen family's door?
Hearing Ni Na's ridiculous statement, he felt as if he saw himself back when he said he would invest in Taoxun.
His mother and sister trusted Ou Minghan wholeheartedly, even preferring to believe Ou Minghan over him, their own relative.
Now, they were so easily instigated by Ou Minghan and stood so firmly on his side.
Originally, he didn't want them to be harmed, which was why he exposed Ou Minghan's lies, hoping they would see through his true colors. But they didn't believe him at all.
It was just that the Cen family no longer had much of its fortune left to allow them to continue trusting Ou Minghan like this.
"Mom! The money invested by the Cen family must be recovered," Cen Xiucheng's face darkened as he said firmly, "I will withdraw all investments from projects related to Ou Minghan! I've already booked my flight. You and your sister pack your bags, and we'll return to the country tomorrow!"
"Brother, I am not going back!" Cen Ya stepped forward, her expression resolute, "And I will not let you withdraw your investment. Don't forget, the Chairman of Shanjin Jewelry right now is me! You are just a shareholder of the company. If you want to withdraw your investment, withdraw your own share!"
"Xiaoya, you..." Cen Xiucheng stared at Cen Ya with wide, disbelieving eyes.
When the Cen family first came here to develop, for convenience and to compensate Cen Ya, they gave her the most shares and even the nominal position of Chairman.
At that time, Cen Ya was very touched and promised them she would behave well, not interfere with company management, and listen to Cen Xiucheng on everything.
But he never expected that his most trusted sister would stab him in the back at this moment!
"Xiucheng, I support Xiaoya this time! I'm not going back to Country K, I'm staying!" Ni Na said petulantly, "Only when you give up pursuing Ye Zhi will I consider going back with you!"
Ou Minghan was extremely smug, looking provocatively at Cen Xiucheng.
Cen Xiucheng suddenly felt it was so ironic. He was trying his best to save the Cen family, but his mother and sister were doing everything they could to hand the Cen family over to someone else!
"Fine then," Cen Xiucheng said coldly, "I will reclaim what belongs to me and my father! And I will also make you recognize Ou Minghan's true face!"
After speaking, Cen Xiucheng snorted and turned to leave.
"Brother..." Cen Ya, feeling guilty, wanted to chase after him but was stopped by Ni Na.
"Don't go! Let him calm down! My good son has gone mad over a woman, why are you bothering with him?" Ni Na said unhappily.
"But..." Cen Ya said worriedly, "What if Brother insists on withdrawing the investment, and Father supports him, then what?"
"Your father will never support him. Your father has always doted on me the most, he will definitely be on my side!" Ni Na said proudly, "Xiaoya, don't worry. I'll talk to your father properly and have him manage your brother!"
"Alright then, thank you, Mom..." Cen Ya finally felt at ease.
However, Ou Minghan, standing nearby, had a dark expression. Cen Xiucheng would absolutely not stop there and would continue to investigate his background. Furthermore, Cen Ya's father might not necessarily side with this mother and daughter.
It seemed he had to find other ways to stop Cen Xiucheng from continuing to investigate him!
Ni Na was furious and kept scolding Ye Zhi, repeatedly calling her insidious, a vixen, someone who wanted to climb the social ladder by marrying into their Duke's family, and so on. Even if she thought Cen Xiucheng was interested in Ye Zhi, it was still Ye Zhi's fault for corrupting her good son.
"No! I can't let this vixen off just like this!" The more Ni Na thought about it, the angrier she became. She said to Ou Minghan, "Ye Zhi's greatest pride is her career, right? What new projects does Taoxun have? Ruin her for me!"
Ou Minghan was speechless. Why were they back to confronting Ye Zhi?
However, merely blackening Taoxun's projects was something he could manage with a few perfunctory efforts.
Thinking this, Ou Minghan quickly agreed.

At Taoxun, Ye Zhi, who was in the game department, sneezed several times in a row.
"President Ye, are you catching a cold?" Yun Shi asked solicitously from the side.
Although Bai Xuan said nothing, she considerately handed over a cup of hot water.
"I must have caught a chill last night," Ye Zhi took the cup and then smiled suddenly, "Perhaps someone is scolding me behind my back!"
"Why don't you go rest, President Ye? We can keep an eye on things here," Yun Shi advised.
"No need, I'm not that delicate," Ye Zhi shook her head slightly and said lightly, "Moreover, today is the official launch day for 'Renovation Simulator.' I must be here to watch."
Seeing her insistence, Yun Shi and Bai Xuan didn't say anything further.
"Is the sales website ready?" Ye Zhi asked.
"It's ready," Yun Shi replied, "As soon as it turns ten o'clock, players can purchase it directly. President Ye, this game is entirely according to your requirements. The standard edition is digital, downloadable directly from Taoxun or through major game platforms. Additionally, the two thousand deluxe editions prepared are already in the Taoxun warehouse and will be delivered to players as soon as possible."
Ye Zhi nodded.
She had only prepared two thousand deluxe editions for this game, partly due to a lack of confidence.
After all, she had people investigate the sales situation of deluxe editions of domestic single-player games. Most of them sold around ten to twenty thousand copies.
Although the game's popularity was currently very high, players could experience the game by purchasing the standard edition. The deluxe edition was for the true fans.
For the deluxe edition of 'Renovation Simulator,' Ye Zhi had personally contacted a well-known building block brand to launch a co-branded set of building blocks as a gift for the deluxe edition. Therefore, the price was not cheap. After their discussion, it was set at 999.
Precisely because she understood the consumption level of domestic single-player game players, Ye Zhi did not dare to prepare too many sets.
The game officially went on sale at ten o'clock. Shortly after ten, the sales figures began to climb rapidly.
Yun Shi suddenly screamed, "President Ye! Our game's deluxe edition has already sold out!"
"What?!" Ye Zhi looked bewildered. She glanced at the time; had it not just started selling?
"President Ye, the deluxe edition sold out in ten seconds!" Yun Shi excitedly hugged Bai Xuan, then hugged Ye Zhi, and then jumped up and down with joy.
Ye Zhi came back to her senses. She felt a sense of emotion, realizing she had been wrong this time and had underestimated the players' love for 'Renovation Simulator.'
"What about the digital edition?" Ye Zhi asked.
Seeing Yun Shi still excited, Bai Xuan could only say herself, "We don't know about the digital edition yet, but judging by the situation, we should be able to sell a million copies."
