At his words, Liu Yanran's expression faltered.
Even the security guards at the door were all baffled.
However, they soon burst into raucous laughter.
They sent looks of disdain and mockery toward Ye Feng.
"Haha... Where did this lunatic come from?"
"I'm dying of laughter, he actually dares to say he's here to take over as president, do you even know what nonsense you're spouting?"
"Kid, you sure can talk big!"
...
Ye Feng took in the security guards' contemptuous expressions, a cold glint passing through his eyes.
It was then that Liu Yanran looked at him with a peculiar expression.
"What exactly are you here for? If there really is something important, I can speak to them and let you in!"
Her willingness to speak on his behalf stemmed entirely from feelings of guilt over what had happened the night before.
"I am truly here to take on the role of president!"
Ye Feng spread his hands to show he was not lying.
"Forget it, I can't be bothered with you!"
Liu Yanran clearly did not believe Ye Feng's words.
She also felt a surge of contempt for him in her heart,
believing Ye Feng to be someone who loved to boast.
The traces of guilt she had felt instantly dissipated into nothingness.
Turning to the security guards, she said, "He's a friend of mine, let him come in!"
The security guards were certainly aware of Liu Yanran's identity.
"Since Miss Liu has spoken, we brothers definitely need to show that respect!"
A security guard leered at Liu Yanran with a lascivious smile and said.
He then turned to glare at Ye Feng.
"Kid, you better behave yourself once you're inside. If you break anything, not even selling you would cover the costs, got it?"
Ye Feng couldn't be bothered with the condescending security guard.
Following Liu Yanran, he walked into Longxiang Group.
While waiting for the elevator, Ye Feng curiously asked Liu Yanran, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Yanran didn't want to pay him any attention, but couldn't stand his persistent questioning.
So, somewhat annoyed, she replied dismissively, "I'm here to discuss a collaboration."
"Discuss a collaboration?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
Internally he sneered, "Maybe I'll give her a hand later!"
Although Liu Yanran's temper was nothing great and she wasn't kind, she did possess an "extremely Yin body"!
If he were to befriend her, he could manage his Yang Poison.
His master had once said that the Yang Poison could be kept at bay as long as he spent a long time with a woman with an extremely Yin body.
Deciding on his course of action, Ye Feng smiled and said, "What kind of collaboration are you looking to discuss? Perhaps I can help you with it!"
"You?"
Liu Yanran turned her head suspiciously to look at him.
After scrutinizing him, her face showed an unmistakable flash of disappointment.
Today, she was here to negotiate a collaboration with the vice president of one of Longxiang Group's subsidiaries.
Although just a vice president of a subsidiary, in terms of status, he was still much more significant than herself.
Moreover, many other companies were eying this collaboration greedily.
Successful negotiations would be extremely difficult.
Clearly, this was not something Ye Feng could influence.
"What? You don't believe me? I really am the new president of Longxiang Group!"
Ye Feng laughed.
But his words only provoked a roll of the eyes from Liu Yanran.
"Pfft, whatever, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I'm here to talk about a partnership with the vice president of the subsidiary, Yang Cheng!"
"Yang Cheng?"
Ye Feng silently noted the name in his mind.
"Don't worry, your collaboration will definitely be successful today!"
As they were speaking, a "ding" signaled that the elevator had arrived.
Then, both of them entered the elevator, Liu Yanran pressed the button for the tenth floor, while Ye Feng pressed the button for the top floor!
Longxiang Group's top floor! Only a few top executives of the company were allowed on that floor.
Seeing this, Liu Yanran sneered internally.
"Hmph, acting pretty convincingly, but the top floor is guarded by specialized security, even if you make it up there, you won't be able to enter the offices!"
With a disdainful snort in her heart, Liu Yanran left the elevator.
Ye Feng followed closely behind and arrived at the top floor.
"Ding"
The elevator doors opened.
Before him, in the brightly lit corridor, a beautiful young woman in an OL style skirt suit was bowing along with a group of people toward the elevator.
When Yan Ruyu appeared, the stunningly beautiful woman's cheeks revealed an enchanting smile.
"Ru Yu is honored to welcome Young Master Ye!"
"Honored to welcome Young Master Ye!"
The senior executives behind her also echoed loudly in greeting.
Ye Feng, seeing this, nodded with satisfaction and looked at the seductive beauty, asking, "Are you Yan Ruyu?"
The gorgeous woman immediately nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, Young Master Ye! I am Yan Ruyu, just calling me Ru Yu is fine."
Yan Ruyu said this while extending her fair, lotus-like arm in a gesture of invitation, leading Ye Feng to a luxurious office.
Surrounding the office were expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.
Standing by the window, one could take in the entire vista of East Sea City.
This place was a symbol of wealth.
At the moment, in the office, there were just Yan Ruyu, oozing maturity and allure, and Ye Feng.
Yan Ruyu held out some documents, which she had already prepared, toward Ye Feng and softly said, "Young Master Ye, this is the appointment letter. Please sign here!"
As the stunning woman bent forward, a tempting arc of snowy whiteness was revealed.
An unfathomably deep career line was laid bare before Ye Feng's eyes, its magnitude comparable to "Mount Everest"!
The full, moon-like curves of her hips, her straight stockings-clad legs, and her slender waist sketched the outlines of her sultry and exquisite figure.
She was a top-tier beauty that could drive one mad.
Ye Feng's gaze lingered on Yan Ruyu's alluring figure for a few seconds, his eyes betraying a hint of admiration.
Then he picked up a pen and signed his name on the document.
She was the Vice President of Longxiang Group.
The person his master had arranged for him to take over from.
She was also the young widow who all the successful men in East Sea City lusted after.
Noticing Ye Feng's gaze, Yan Ruyu's cheek suddenly blushed with a coquettish red.
"Young Master Ye, since you're new here, let me introduce the situation of Longxiang Group to you!"
Just as Yan Ruyu was about to begin the introduction, Ye Feng waved his hand to interrupt her.
"No need. You'll continue to manage the company. If there's any decision you can't make, come to me. I need to go and propose marriage now!"
"Propose marriage? May I ask which family's daughter has caught Young Master Ye's eye?"
"The Liu Family, Liu Yanran!"
Ye Feng told Yan Ruyu without hesitation.
"The Liu Family?"
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.
As the business queen of East Sea City, she certainly knew of the third-rate Liu Family.
If Young Master Ye fancied their daughter, it seemed the Liu Family was destined to ascend swiftly.
Thinking this, Yan Ruyu also secretly began to plan in her heart, deciding to personally prepare a gift and send it to the Liu Family.
After a brief chat with Yan Ruyu, Ye Feng turned and left.
But just as he was about to exit, something suddenly came to mind, and he asked, "Isn't there a guy named Yang Cheng in the subsidiary company?"
"Yes, Young Master Ye! Yang Cheng is the vice president of the subsidiary."
"Oh, I have a friend who is now talking to him about a partnership. Tell him to agree to it."
"Certainly, Young Master Ye!"
"Mm... And those security guards downstairs who just said 'no dogs or me allowed,' fire them too."
"What! Hmph, those lowlife bastards dared to insult Young Master Ye? Rest assured, Young Master Ye, I will personally supervise this matter thoroughly and set an example for others!"
Yan Ruyu's pretty face turned frosty.
Pleased with her response, Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and then left the office.
After he had gone, Yan Ruyu hurriedly picked up the phone and called Yang Cheng.
"Yang Cheng, did someone come to you to discuss a partnership?"
"President Yan? Yes, absolutely!"
Yang Cheng's voice came through from the other end of the phone, excited as if just talking to Yan Ruyu was a great fortune for him.
"Agree to the partnership with him!"
"Ah? President Yan, the one discussing the partnership is from the Liu Family, Liu Yanran, and considering the strength of the Liu Family, I'm afraid..."
Yang Cheng was cut off before he could finish his sentence by an abrupt interjection from Yan Ruyu.
"You said who?"
"The young miss of the Liu Family, Liu Yanran!"
"Her? Agree to all of Liu Yanran's terms immediately, and additionally, give the Liu Family a contract worth 50 million."
After giving instructions to Yang Cheng, Yan Ruyu immediately hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, Yang Cheng stood there dumbstruck, unable to comprehend for a long while.
He didn't understand why a mere third-rate family could garner such respect from Yan Ruyu.
...
Before long, Ye Feng stood with a marriage proposal outside a luxurious villa.
The villa's entrance was adorned with a wooden plaque that read "Liu Residence."
Seeing this, Ye Feng cracked a grin and chuckled.
"Not bad, it seems my fiancée comes from a well-off family too!"
Having said this, he strode confidently into the villa and called out, "Liu Yanran, I, the Young Master, have come to marry you!"
