I just got divorced, and the female CEO is already clinging to me.

Chapter 108 It’s rude to come and not return.

Ye Cheng frankly said, "It's not exactly that, but my original intention was indeed for those fifty million."

Of course, if I could actually meet Chairman Cheng, I would ask him what benefits the Cheng Group would gain from doing this.

Aren't the Chen Group our common enemy?

Gao Xingye reassured Ye Cheng: "Brother, forgive my bluntness, but the overall direction of our Cheng Group will not change."

We also know that when the Cheng Group and the Shen Group engage in a business war, the Chen Group benefits the most.

Although I didn't experience the falling out between the two families firsthand, I know the reasons.

It is said that after the Shen Group brought down the Chen Group, their next target is the Cheng Group.

At that time, the Shen Group was indeed very powerful, and its strength was definitely superior to that of the Cheng Group.

In order to protect himself, Chairman Cheng had no choice but to take the initiative.

As a result, the two sides fought fiercely, giving the Chen Group a chance to catch its breath.

In the end, it was only through the intervention of Gray Tower that the dispute was resolved.

Otherwise, the two sides would have to fight to the death, resulting in mutual destruction.

Although Chairman Cheng later realized he had fallen for a divisive tactic.

However, the business battle with the Shen Group did indeed escalate, leading Chairman Cheng to vow an irreconcilable feud with the Shen Group.

Ye Cheng gained a deeper understanding of the business war from the Cheng Group.

Gao Xingye continued, "But as long as we have a grudge against the Shen Group, our chairman knows that the two groups are evenly matched. If we start another war, the Chen Group will only benefit from it."

The Qingyuan Mountain project isn't a big project, but I heard that the Chen Group deliberately created this trouble.

Wu Hao only provided an assist, so Chairman Cheng just let it go.

Seeing that Gao Xingye was a sensible person, Ye Cheng said, "To be honest, I am in charge of the Qingyuan Mountain project."

Now that such a big problem has arisen, I have to find a way to solve it.

"I see..." Gao Xingye said thoughtfully, "So, you came to the Cheng family to collect the debt in order to gain merit and offset the pressure from the Qingyuan Mountain project?"

Ye Cheng nodded: "President Gao can think that way."

However, this trip wasn't entirely fruitless; at least I made a friend, Mr. Gao.

After saying this, Ye Cheng wheeled himself away, preparing to leave.

He didn't ask Gao Xingye to do anything for him, he just told him the purpose of his trip.

As for what Takahoshino will do, that depends on his opinion.

"Wait a minute." Gao Xingye stopped Ye Cheng. "I'll make a call to the chairman."

Ye Cheng shook his head, looking as if he was thinking of Gao Xingye: "I don't want to put President Gao in a difficult position."

Gao Xingye patted his chest: "No problem, I've already figured out how to talk to the chairman."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and dialed Cheng Xiufang's number.

"Xiao Gao, what's up?" A slightly androgynous voice came from the phone.

Gao Xingye said, "Chairman, I have something to report to you."

"Go ahead and tell me, I hope it's a good thing."

Gao Xingye said apologetically, "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the chairman. The Shen Group has sent people to urge us to pay the 50 million yuan in outstanding payments."

"Heh, that's interesting. What's wrong with that idiot Shen Qianfeng? Why is he asking for that 50 million now? Is he so poor that he can't even afford to eat?"

Have you met them?

Gao Xingye did not hide anything: "Yes, that person's name is Ye Cheng. President Wu lost a bet with someone and attracted a lot of people in the lobby. I happened to be passing by, so I brought him to my office and found out what happened."

Only then did I realize that General Manager Wu had given the Chen Group a boost, creating some trouble for the Shen Group on the Qingyuan Mountain project.

Chairman, I think Mr. Wu's actions are somewhat inappropriate.

When the Shen Group and the Chen Group clash, we should stand aside and watch the show. Taking action rashly might only backfire.

The Shen Group can't do anything to the Chen Group, but they still have the ability to cause us some trouble.

If they start making baseless accusations, not only will we not gain any benefit, but we will also become a laughing stock for the Chen Group.

I think Mr. Wu's decision was too impulsive, and I hope the chairman can extricate Mr. Wu from this matter as soon as possible.

"So, the Shen Group sending people to collect the debt is an expression of their dissatisfaction?"

"The chairman is wise."

"Wouldn't withdrawing now make the Shen Group think that the Cheng Group is afraid of them?"

Gao Xingye said, "This is exactly what I was worried about. Right now, the chairman is unwilling to let the Shen Group off easily just because of his pride."

Once we get deeply involved, I'm afraid we'll get angry again and let the Chen Group lead us by the nose.

Don't worry, I've already thought of a way to deal with them this time.

I will send them away and then send someone to the Shen Group to demand the 30 million they owe us.

It is impolite not to reciprocate.

Of course, demanding repayment is just a formality and won't provoke them.

"As long as our Cheng Group makes its stance clear, that's enough."

"I trust you to do things, but I will issue a warning to Wu Hao."

Send someone to the Shen Group this afternoon to collect the debt.

Tell the people you sent to the Shen Group that as long as they repay the 30 million, the Cheng Group will immediately give them 50 million.

"The Chen family is currently sanctioning them, so let's give them another promise: our Cheng Group will secretly help them."

Gao Xingye laughed: "The chairman is wise."

To show our sincerity, I'll go there myself this afternoon.

"Okay, I believe you understand my intention."

Gao Xingye hummed in agreement, then said in a affected manner, "The person who understands the chairman best is still me."

"Alright, get this done."

Gao Xingye said a few more sweet words before hanging up the phone.

Hearing this, Ye Cheng felt a chill run down his spine and got goosebumps all over his body.

After placing his phone on the table, Gao Xingye said smugly, "I've already taken care of the Qingyuan Mountain project for you."

As for the 50 million, it concerns the Cheng Group's reputation, so it's definitely not something we can ask for.

It would be kind of us if our chairman didn't swindle 30 million from your Shen Group.

If you can't make it at the Shen Group, you can come to the Cheng Group to find me.

I will certainly treat you as an honored guest and with the utmost courtesy to repay your kindness in giving me a second chance at life.

Ye Cheng politely declined, saying, "I appreciate Mr. Gao's kind offer."

However, I must remind you, Mr. Gao, that getting too close to me will displease Wu Hao, and he will definitely complain to Chairman Cheng about you.

Wu Hao is, after all, Chairman Cheng's nephew. I'm worried that Chairman Cheng might favor his own family over reason and become suspicious of General Manager Gao.

Gao Xingye said confidently, "Don't worry, I became the group president through my abilities. I have made many contributions to the Cheng Group over the years and am Chairman Cheng's most trusted confidant. She will not suspect me."

Ye Cheng suddenly asked, "With such great talent as Mr. Gao, have you ever considered becoming independent?"

Gao Xingye was taken aback, then shook his head: "I'm doing quite well at Cheng's, I haven't thought about these things."

Ye Cheng said: "It's all good now. It's because General Manager Gao fits Chairman Cheng's tastes."

But once Mr. Gao becomes a real man, how do you think Chairman Cheng will treat you?

Gao Xingye's expression changed drastically: "Brother, what do you know?"

Ye Cheng smiled and said, "I know far more than President Gao imagines."

This is just a reminder for Mr. Gao.

I will be waiting for Mr. Gao at the Shen Group this afternoon.

After saying that, Ye Cheng wheeled himself out the door.

Gao Xingye asked urgently, "Brother, what position do you hold in the Shen Group?"

Without turning his head, Ye Cheng said, "I am Shen Qingrou's assistant."

Gao Xingye suddenly realized what was going on, and looking at Ye Cheng's departing figure, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
