Ye Yuzhe was speechless, "Dad, my brother-in-law has been calling for days, okay?"
"Who told you to change your address?" Ye Yuzhe hit him on the head in anger.
"Dad, I've made up my mind." Ye Zhi's smile faded slightly, and she said seriously, "Actually, Qi Xuan and I were very compatible in our lives, and our thoughts were in sync. I also enjoyed spending time with him. However, I am well aware that marriage is different.
A long marriage can wear down a person's passion and patience. I'm not entirely sure how our lives will turn out in the future.
But, this time when Qi Xuan and I went to N City, when we were facing Ou Minghan's gun, in such a dangerous moment, he didn't hesitate to shield me. At that very moment, I suddenly felt that I could try with him, and challenge a long marriage."
Liu Lingyu and Ye Yongxian exchanged glances. Ye Yongxian was completely speechless at this point.
"Alright then..." Ye Yongxian sighed, "That young man dared to step forward at such a dangerous time, he is indeed responsible and worth entrusting. Then we will discuss your engagement with the Qi family..."
"Dad, don't tell Qi Xuan about this yet." Ye Zhi said suddenly.
"Ah?" Ye Yongxian was bewildered, "You want us to keep the engagement a secret from the male protagonist of the engagement?"
"No, I want to give him a surprise~" Ye Zhi smiled faintly, "He was the one who confessed first, so it's my turn to be proactive this time, right?"
"Alright, alright, I'll go with your plan." Ye Yongxian agreed.
The next morning, Ye Zhi was still sleeping in when her phone kept ringing.
Ye Zhi opened her phone and found that it was Zhan Ruoqing calling.
She drowsily pressed the answer button and heard Zhan Ruoqing's excited voice, "Ye Zhi! Hurry, hurry! Get up! I'm treating you to shopping! I'll cover your expenses, and I want to hear the story!"
Ye Zhi couldn't help but laugh and cry. She truly lived up to her reputation as the number one gossip queen of the capital!
She yawned and got up, "Okay, you said it. I'm going all out with my shopping today."
"Story, story, story~" Zhan Ruoqing repeated anxiously.
"You'll be satisfied!" Ye Zhi promised.
Soon, the two met. Ye Zhi was not polite and bought quite a few things. Zhan Ruoqing also kept her promise and paid for everything.
When the two were resting, Zhan Ruoqing couldn't wait, "Story, story~"
"Look at you, so impatient," Ye Zhi said humorously, "Don't worry, I've prepared a special version for you."
With that, Ye Zhi took out her phone.
She knew that Zhan Ruoqing loved to hear gossip, so every time there was gossip, she would secretly record it.
She took out her earphones, shared one with Zhan Ruoqing, and they started listening to the live version.
While listening, she kept asking about the situation at the time, and Ye Zhi answered in detail.
Zhan Ruoqing was extremely satisfied. She hugged Ye Zhi tightly, "Ye Zhi, you're so good to me!"
"Alright, I prepared this for you because I need your help with something." Ye Zhi said with a smile.
"What kind of help can I provide for General Manager Ye?" Zhan Ruoqing asked curiously.
"Can you help me contact company J? I want to cooperate with them." Ye Zhi said with a frown.
"Ah?" Zhan Ruoqing was even more confused, "If Taoxun comes forward, company J will definitely agree to cooperate. Why do you have to go through a detour?"
"Uh... because I don't want Qi Xuan to know." Ye Zhi said somewhat awkwardly.
"Ye Zhi, your words are making me more and more confused!" Zhan Ruoqing was very bewildered, "It's just cooperation, why hide it from Qi Xuan?"
"I'll tell you, and you keep it a secret for me." Ye Zhi thought for a moment and whispered a few words into Zhan Ruoqing's ear.
"It's actually like this..." Zhan Ruoqing's eyes widened, "As expected of the two of you, you play really wild! But Ye Zhi, I still don't understand, Taoxun can cooperate directly with company J!"
"Because I mentioned this idea to Qi Xuan a few days ago," Ye Zhi sighed, "If Taoxun cooperates directly, I'm afraid Qi Xuan will guess something, and then I won't be able to give him a surprise."
"Hahaha, I get it! Leave this to me!" Zhan Ruoqing patted her chest and guaranteed.

Upon returning to the capital, Cen Xiucheng immediately began to tally the current assets of the Cen family. As for those that could be sold, he found ways to sell them, and those that could minimize losses, he promptly did so.
However, he contacted Ye Zhi again.
"General Manager Ye, can we meet?" Cen Xiucheng asked.
Ye Zhi was very confused, "Why do you want to see me again?"
Cen Xiucheng gave a wry smile, "My mother is returning to Country K. She wants to see you before she leaves. Don't worry, we have already prepared the liquidated damages."
Ye Zhi: ...
Although she didn't mind the Cen family sending her money, the Cen family had already severed ties with Cen Ya, so was the contract still valid?
"Then let's meet." Ye Zhi thought for a moment. The Cen family had shown enough sincerity, and she had no reason to refuse.
Soon, ten million yuan was deposited into Ye Zhi's account.
Ye Zhi was surprised, but she immediately understood. It was Ni Na and Cen Xiucheng meeting her this time, two people, five million each.
However, this also truly made Ye Zhi experience what it meant to have the heritage of a hundred-year-old family. Even at this point, they could still produce so much money without batting an eye.
The two parties agreed to meet at a coffee shop. When Ye Zhi arrived, she found that Cen Xiucheng and Ni Na had already arrived.
Cen Xiucheng looked haggard, clearly exhausted. Ni Na, on the other hand, did not seem well.
Upon seeing Ye Zhi, Ni Na elegantly stood up and politely said, "General Manager Ye, thank you for gracing us with your presence."
Her attitude changed so quickly that Ye Zhi found it difficult to adapt.
"Ahem, Mrs. Cen, you're too kind," Ye Zhi sat down opposite them and asked, confused, "You two, what do you need me for?"
"It's like this," Ni Na said slowly, "General Manager Ye, the Cen family has caused you a lot of trouble over the years. I know you don't mind, but we have indeed done wrong. So before we leave, I want to express our apologies to you. We apologize for our rashness and for offending you. And we also want to express our gratitude..."
Ye Zhi's eyes flickered. Although she didn't mind what happened before, were they meeting her today just for this?
What was the difference between this and specially sending her money?
"Thanks to you, you saved Xiucheng and you saved me. Our Cen family owes you a great debt," Ni Na said sincerely.
"Mrs. Cen, you don't need to be so polite." Ye Zhi said indifferently.
"General Manager Ye, we asked you to come today for another matter," Cen Xiucheng said, "Do you still remember Qian Bai?"
"Of course I remember." Ye Zhi nodded slightly. xxs1
She had stepped onto the throne on the corpse of Qian Bai, so she naturally wouldn't forget.
Later, Ou Minghan sold Qian Bai to Cen Ya, and Qian Bai, in name, became the property of the Cen family.
Upon learning that Cen Ya had bought Qian Bai, Cen Xiucheng was furious. He tried to resell it, but when he found no buyers, he formed a team to manage it themselves, but he didn't hold much hope for them.
