"Dad, I like your car too. Can you let me drive it?" Ye Zhi said with a smile.
Ye Yongxian chuckled and replied, "Sure, if you like it, you can take it for a drive."
"Thank you, Dad!" Ye Zhi said happily.
Ou Minghan's expression grew even gloomier. This Ye Zhi had ruined his plan again!
He had tampered with the car, and as long as Ye Yongxian got into it, something would happen sooner or later. He would either be crippled or die.
Once Ye Yongxian, the pillar of the Ye family, was gone, even if Ye Zhi had some capabilities, she wouldn't be able to do much without a foundation in such a short period!
But Ye Zhi had taken the car?
If Ye Zhi had died in an accident, it would have been fine. But if she hadn't, wouldn't he have wasted such a good opportunity? Then he would have to re-plan how to kill them!
The thought of this possibility made Ou Minghan feel extremely depressed. He hated it when things got out of his control.
"Uncle, Aunt, I have some matters to attend to at my company. I'll be leaving now," Ou Minghan said with a stern face.
Ye Yongxian exchanged a few pleasantries with him and did not detain him.
Ye Qinya chased after him to see him off. She sensed that her boyfriend was a bit unhappy today, but she couldn't figure out why.
In the living room, Liu Lingyu chatted with Ye Zhi for a while longer. Ye Zhi seized the opportunity to assert her older sister's authority and sent Ye Yuzhe to do his homework. Afterward, Ye Yongxian called her into his study.
"Xiao Zhi," Ye Yongxian asked curiously, "Did you know Ou Minghan before?"
"No, I didn't," Ye Zhi shook her head.
"Then why were you deliberately targeting him just now?" Ye Yongxian was even more puzzled.
Hearing his question, Ye Zhi was not surprised. After all, her performance just now was quite obvious. She figured everyone except Ye Qinya could tell.
"Because he doesn't look like a good person!" Ye Zhi said with displeasure. "Dad, Qinya's slap mark hasn't completely faded yet. As Qinya's boyfriend, has he shown her any concern from beginning to end? I think he's not sincere at all. He must have ulterior motives for approaching Qinya!"
Ye Yongxian was caught between laughter and tears. "Didn't you slap her yourself?"
"I did it to save Qinya. Besides, that's a different matter!" Ye Zhi pouted. "If he treated Qinya sincerely, I would be happy even if he scolded me for this!"
After speaking, Ye Zhi looked at Ye Yongxian. Ye Yongxian also had a good impression of Ou Minghan, and he fully supported the marriage between Ou Minghan and Ye Zhi. It was precisely because of this that he would later fall into Ou Minghan's trap.
Therefore, she had to start influencing Ye Yongxian from now on, to change his impression of Ou Minghan, or at least make him vigilant.
"He's actually a good person, and quite capable," Ye Yongxian said with a smile. "Moreover, your sister likes him very much. Next time, at least save some face and don't make things too ugly. Otherwise, your sister will be in a difficult position caught between you."
"I understand, Dad." Ye Zhi sighed helplessly in her heart. It seemed that changing Ye Yongxian's opinion would take time; she couldn't force it.
"You should go back to your room and rest to adjust to the time difference," Ye Yongxian said affectionately. "Tomorrow, you'll come to the company with me. You said you wanted to take over the company, and I took you seriously."
"Okay~" Ye Zhi agreed with a shallow smile.
Back in her room, Ye Zhi lay on the soft, large bed and let out a long sigh of relief. The memories that had appeared in her mind gave her a much better understanding of this world.
The Ye family treated her well. Furthermore, according to the memories, she had gone abroad at fifteen and completed her high school, university, and master's degrees overseas, which was about ten years ago.
So, when interacting with them, she just needed to be herself and didn't have to worry about them seeing through her.
As for her attitude towards Ou Minghan, it wasn't intentional. She hadn't pretended to be polite with him simply because there was no need.
The era of this world was a few years earlier than her own. It was still in the period of wild growth of the internet and the golden age of real estate.
After Ou Minghan's parents passed away, he was adopted by a wealthy man with the same surname. After growing up, he used his adoptive father's resources to open an online company specializing in online shopping. He engaged in extensive mergers and acquisitions, becoming a popular new online magnate.
However, the Ye family was in the real estate business and was well-known in the industry. Many residential areas in the capital were developed by their family.
It was precisely for this reason that if Ou Minghan wanted to deal with the Ye family, he could only play the dating game with Ye Qinya first. He used her as an entry point to set up a series of schemes and tricks to swindle the Ye family's assets.
Therefore, Ye Zhi saw no need to give him a pleasant look. Of course, it was also quite difficult for Ye Zhi to directly bring down Ou Minghan's company.
It wasn't that Ou Minghan's company had developed to a point where the Ye family couldn't touch it, but rather that Ou Minghan was very good at charming women.
Besides Ye Qinya, he was ambiguously involved with several rich young ladies. And like Ye Qinya, those rich young ladies were infatuated with him and pursued him relentlessly. If Ou Minghan were in trouble, these women would surely try their best to get their families to help.
Ye Zhi was indeed not afraid of Ou Minghan, but there was no need to make enemies for the Ye family everywhere. To bring down Ou Minghan, she had to proceed slowly.
Ye Zhi's mind gradually formed a complete plan.
*
The next day, after breakfast, Ye Zhi went to the Ye Group with Ye Yongxian.
She didn't bother with the usual routine of starting from the bottom. With so little time, she had no mood for promotion games. Therefore, she directly asked Ye Yongxian to give her the position of intern president.
Ye Yongxian spoiled her indeed and actually granted it. Moreover, he specifically instructed the company's management to cooperate with Ye Zhi's work.
Ye Zhi spent the morning familiarizing herself with everything in the company and focused on a cooperation project that the Ye Group was about to undertake.
In the afternoon, she took that cooperation proposal to Ye Yongxian's office to find him.
"Dad, I want to talk to you about the Feng Le Ju development project," Ye Zhi said with a serious expression.
"What's wrong with this plan?" Ye Yongxian asked curiously.
What's wrong with it? It was gravely wrong!
The Feng Le Ju residential project was a cooperative project between Ou Minghan and the Ye Group. Ye Yongxian had agreed to it for his second daughter's sake.
However, Ou Minghan had used this cooperation to bribe the Ye Group's partners, who then replaced a batch of high-quality building materials with construction waste of very poor quality, which also contained radiation.
Ou Minghan then hired the media to expose the matter, causing the Ye Group's stock price to plummet. Not only that, he orchestrated forced demolition incidents, causing loss of life, but blamed it all on the Ye Group.
