I gave Ye Juan'er five minutes.
Ye Juaner's expression shifted slightly, looking particularly unsightly!
It would be one thing if everyone had arrived and was simply waiting for Zhou Cheng alone.
She was, after all, Zhou Feiyu's wife, which meant she was Zhou Cheng's sister-in-law.
Yet he now had the audacity to demand that she go down personally to welcome him. Did he really not take her seriously at all!
"Are you certain he asked me to go down and welcome him personally?"
"Yes. Assistant Li, who is in charge of reception downstairs, called me to say so! Zhou Cheng is at the entrance right now, and he's even driving a beat-up domestic car."
"Assistant Li told him that you were busy and didn't have time, and that he could bring him up, but he still wouldn't budge!" Song Wanfeng replied!
Upon hearing this, Ye Juaner's Face darkened!
"Juaner, Xiao Cheng was probably just speaking casually. Don't take it to heart. I'll go down and welcome him right now." Seeing Ye Juaner's unsightly expression, Zhou Feiyu spoke up hurriedly.
But this did not earn him any favor with Ye Juaner; instead, he was met with a fierce glare.
"Zhou Feiyu, I told you yesterday to go back early and communicate well with Zhou Cheng. But now, not only is he late, he actually expects me to go down and welcome him. Does he take me for a receptionist, or what?"
"He doesn't have me, his sister-in-law, in his eyes at all! He doesn't take me, his sister-in-law, seriously in the slightest!"
"Is it that in the Zhou Family, Zhou Cheng is the head of the household, and he is your Eldest Brother?!"
These words made Zhou Feiyu feel extremely uncomfortable!
On one side was his wife, and on the other was his own younger brother; caught in the middle, he didn't know what to say!
"Juaner..."
"Call me Chairman Ye!" Ye Juaner said mercilessly, venting all her Qi over Zhou Cheng's tardiness and refusal to come up on Zhou Feiyu!
"Chairman Ye, please do not have Life Qi. Let me represent you and go down with President Zhou to welcome him. That should be enough to show your sincerity!" Song Wanfeng said leisurely from the side.
He knew Ye Juaner's personality and temper, and he knew that Ye Juaner cared a lot about Face, so she certainly wouldn't go down. That was why Song Wanfeng made this suggestion!
Upon hearing this, Ye Juaner pondered for a moment and nodded.
Song Wanfeng was her secretary and assistant, as well as her sworn younger brother. He always represented her within the Group, so having him go down to welcome him was enough to show how much importance she placed on this!
After seeing Ye Juaner nod, Zhou Feiyu and Song Wanfeng immediately walked toward the elevator!
Once inside the elevator, Song Wanfeng's originally humble and gentle demeanor changed.
"Zhou Feiyu, you have truly disappointed Chairman Ye."
"That's right. In the Zhou Family and at Chenyang Group, you are the Eldest Young Master, and he, Zhou Cheng, is the Second Young Master! You are supreme, but you must remember, this is the Ye Group now!"
"Chairman Ye is the Chairman; she is the person with the highest status in the entire Ye Group. Yet your younger brother, Zhou Cheng, expects Chairman Ye to come down to welcome him? Is he trying to see Chairman Ye lose Face?"
"Let me tell you, Chairman Ye can do without you, and the Ye Group can do without Chenyang Group! Do not try to throw any young master tantrums here at the Ye Group!"
Song Wanfeng said in a low voice, words that made Zhou Feiyu knit his brows in deep disgust.
Zhou Feiyu had long understood Song Wanfeng thoroughly.
His ability to flatter and fawn was strong, but in areas like business management, he had almost no ability!
Previously, he had mentioned to Ye Juaner that he hoped she would replace her secretary!
Replace him with someone with more comprehensive abilities to hold this position!
But the result was that it was rejected by Ye Juaner on the spot, and she even called Song Wanfeng over to tell him about it in public.
It was that very day that Zhou Feiyu was slapped across the Face by Song Wanfeng!
At the time, he felt his Face burning with pain, and he swung a punch back!
But in the end, he was stopped by Ye Juaner!
A secretary actually dared to hit him, the CEO. In any other place, this would be grounds for dismissal or even legal action!
But with Ye Juaner, she just said a few light words, telling him to apply an ice pack and calling it a day!
She even accused him of being jealous and said he shouldn't interfere in matters between her and Song Wanfeng!
She said they were just in a normal superior-subordinate relationship, just a normal sworn brother relationship!
Was he jealous? Zhou Feiyu didn't think so; he had always trusted Ye Juaner!
His asking Ye Juaner to replace Song Wanfeng was also out of consideration for the Group!
But it ended up being treated by Ye Juaner as him being narrow-minded and jealous!
Zhou Feiyu glanced at Song Wanfeng. Disappoint Chairman Ye?
Had she never considered that many of her actions would also disappoint him and make him feel uncomfortable?
"Clang."
The elevator arrived on the first floor!
After the elevator doors opened, Song Wanfeng walked straight out.
It was as if he were the CEO of the Ye Group and Zhou Feiyu were his subordinate!
Seeing this, Zhou Feiyu was long accustomed to it, and he followed in silence.
...
At this moment, Zhou Cheng's car was parked at the main entrance of the Ye Group, and he was leaning against his car, standing in a casual and lazy manner.
Early this morning, Zhou Feiyu had called him to come to the Ye Group together.
But Zhou Cheng had refused directly, telling Zhou Feiyu to come first!
Because he still needed to arrange many things!
For example, having Chenyang Group prepare for a press conference! And so on!
Assistant Li of the Ye Group stood beside Zhou Cheng; as the receptionist for today, he was responsible for welcoming everyone attending the meeting!
He had just called Song Wanfeng and explained Zhou Cheng's request.
Since this was Zhou Cheng's first time here, he couldn't quite gauge Zhou Cheng's temper.
But just from the conversation they had just had, he could sense the sharp Aura emanating from this Second Young Master of the Zhou Family before him.
This Aura was completely different from Zhou Feiyu's!
It made one feel that he was full of majesty!
Assistant Li glanced inside the building, and upon seeing Song Wanfeng arrive, he hurried up to meet him!
"Secretary Song, you've come down. Second Young Master Zhou just arrived, and he..." Assistant Li looked behind Song Wanfeng and discovered that only Zhou Feiyu had followed him down, while Ye Juaner had not. He thought he hadn't conveyed Zhou Cheng's words clearly enough.
"Chairman Ye is very busy right now, so she sent me to welcome him on her behalf!" Song Wanfeng replied casually.
Then he went straight to the entrance, reached out his hand, and welcomed him:
"Second Young Master, welcome to the Ye Group. Our Chairman Ye has something to attend to right now, so..."
Upon seeing this, Zhou Cheng glanced at Song Wanfeng and chose to directly ignore his reaching hand.
Do you not weigh what your own status is? Are you even worthy of reaching out to shake my hand?
At this moment, I, Zhou Cheng, have come to the Ye Group in the capacity of the controller of Chenyang Group. So, the entire Ye Family didn't come to welcome me, and they just arranged for a lousy secretary to come down?
One must know that Chenyang Group is not only the second-largest shareholder of the Ye Group but also the Ye Group's provider of food and clothing.
So, is this how the Ye Family treats their provider of food and clothing?
Just because his Eldest Brother is spineless, it doesn't mean he is spineless!
Song Wanfeng stood before Zhou Cheng, and seeing that Zhou Cheng had directly ignored him, his Face darkened, and he felt humiliated in his heart.
Counting the time before at the Zhou Family Manor, this was already the second time he had been humiliated by Zhou Cheng!
He withdrew his hand in extreme embarrassment.
"Ye Juaner is busy, is she? As it happens, I am also busy today, so I will leave immediately."
Zhou Cheng said indifferently!
He then turned to look at Zhou Feiyu behind Song Wanfeng!
Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Zhou Feiyu hurried forward.
"Xiao Cheng, don't have Life Qi. Isn't it the same if I come to welcome you?" Zhou Feiyu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cheng felt Qi rise just looking at his Eldest Brother's spineless appearance.
He did not pay attention to Zhou Feiyu!
He raised his hand to check the time, then looked at Song Wanfeng.
"It is now 9:45 AM! I give Ye Juaner five minutes. If she does not appear within my line of sight within five minutes, then I will not step even half a step into the Ye Group today!"
After speaking, Zhou Cheng immediately pulled open the car door, sat into the driver's seat, and simultaneously started the car!
Ready to leave at any moment!
