My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 815: Fire Phoenix’s Relatives

Zhang Lu and Fu Huixia had dined together, and as night fell, they bid farewell and drove away.Inside the car, Fu Huixia asked, "President Chu is one of the wealthiest people in Huaxia, ranked fifth on Huaxia’s millionaire list. Why does he live in an average villa that isn’t particularly luxurious?"

"What do you know?" Zhang Lu had her own explanation for this question and replied without hesitation, "This villa is the place where Ye Fan and Mengyao met and fell in love. For them, every corner and view of the villa is filled with memories of love. It’s their home, a refuge for their souls. No matter how good the location or how luxurious the residence, it can never compare to the villa where they’ve spent every moment together."

In a world overflowing with material desires, finding a deep sense of belonging in a home is truly not easy. It’s a place where the heart resides, surpassing material possessions.

Fu Huixia was accustomed to being alone, and because of this, Zhang Lu’s words deeply resonated with her. She understood better than anyone the growing loneliness as one ages. Finding someone to rely on for life among the vast sea of people is incredibly difficult, as hard as reaching the heavens.

"Do you know the two of them well?" Fu Huixia asked seriously.

"They hadn’t known each other long when I first met them. As time passed, I naturally got to know them better," Zhang Lu answered honestly, with nothing to hide.

Fu Huixia commented curiously, "Ye Fan is quite peculiar. In front of Mengyao, he’s as gentle as spring water, but in front of others, especially women, he’s like a block of ice, wearing a label that keeps people a thousand miles away."

"Ye Fan is naturally like that, shaped by his experiences and background. It’s a life of bitterness, but Mengyao is the one who makes him open his heart and connect with her. That’s why you see such a scene," Zhang Lu said wistfully. "Actually, Ye Fan is much kinder now; when I first began interacting with him, he was truly aloof."

"What kind of background and experiences does he have?" Fu Huixia was extremely curious.

"It’s top secret, so it’s better not to ask too much," Zhang Lu knew what to say and what not to say, especially about Ye Fan’s identity, which she kept strictly confidential.

"How top secret can it be that you can’t tell?" Fu Huixia was frustrated.

"It’s of the highest confidentiality," Zhang Lu blurted out.

"..." Fu Huixia was stunned, wisely choosing to remain silent, although a strong curiosity surged within her.

After pondering momentarily, she profoundly desired, "If I could meet a man like Ye Fan in this lifetime, I’d be content for life."

"Don’t harbor unrealistic desires; you’d only end up hurt," Zhang Lu warned.

"..." Fu Huixia’s expression changed, grew dim. She clearly understood Zhang Lu’s implications.

She considered various possibilities, but none seemed feasible or realistic.

......

Inside the villa, after everyone had left, only Ye Fan and Mengyao remained, chatting.

"Where did Biyao go? Why haven’t I seen her?" Ye Fan asked proactively.

"She went out of town to capture some scenes," Mengyao laughed, "Without that girl, it indeed feels a bit quiet. I thought you wouldn’t ask about this."

"Oh, that’s why she’s not here," Ye Fan said softly, feeling much more relieved. Otherwise, he might discuss some out-of-tune topics in front of Fu Huixia, causing embarrassment only for Fu Huixia, while potentially leading to misunderstandings, which wouldn’t be good.

After all, just with cucumbers alone, he and Fu Huixia had lived under the same roof for half a month, having some encounters with Fu Huixia’s personal life. If he exposed someone’s privacy publicly, it would indeed be quite awkward.

After finishing personal matters, Ye Fan turned the conversation to business, asking blandly, "What are the company’s next steps?"

He only knew that Mengyao was busy with the company’s next expansion, but the specific situation was unknown to him.

"There’s an economic forum to attend, which includes the top ten richest in Huaxia. It’s indeed very important for opening up new industries and fields for the company," Mengyao stated concisely. "However, I also have certain concerns. After all, the Chu Group has risen relatively recently, and compared to established companies, whether in human resources or commercial achievements, Chu Group is different. Business competition is more than fighting and killing. Ranked fifth, Chu Group already has a very distinguished figure, but we may inevitably be underestimated, and those ranked lower may also seek to trouble us."

"We’ll block soldiers with generals and cover water with earth. If they come openly, we’ll resolve it naturally; if they come with schemes, don’t blame us for being unfriendly," Ye Fan said.

"For now, the only path before us is to take it step by step," Mengyao replied, "After receiving the invitation, I immediately started investigating the dynamics of various forces. Some forces even brazenly stated their intentions to suppress the newly risen Chu Group, not to mention the hidden turbulence. With the help of Shen Yaqing, I’ve indeed obtained a lot of intelligence."

Mengyao continued, "What concerns me most is the relatives of Fire Phoenix, and this time the forum’s location is precisely in the city where Fire Phoenix’s relatives live, Zhuhai City."

"Zhuhai City, Zhang Family enterprises?" Ye Fan repeated.

"I thought, this time going to Zhuhai City, I might as well solve this matter too," Mengyao shared the information she had obtained. "Fire Phoenix’s father has already taken a third wife, and Fire Phoenix’s younger brother seems to be facing some difficulties recently. Because the third wife gave birth to a boy, his position as the heir to the Zhang Family enterprises is challenged, resulting in the younger brother being driven out of the Zhang Family."

"Then let’s take the opportunity to pay a visit," Ye Fan said seriously.

Although Fire Phoenix had long forgotten about her so-called relatives, not to mention any feelings, the blood ties remained.

Taking this opportunity to help Fire Phoenix’s brother whom she hadn’t seen or remembered for over a decade was also an important task.

As for the father who abandoned Fire Phoenix and her mother, he naturally deserved some punishment.

Fire Phoenix had faced unfortunate events and numerous changes, but if it’s within their power, helping Fire Phoenix’s brother would also be fulfilling some of Fire Phoenix’s responsibilities as an older sister.

On the morning of the next day, after everything was prepared, Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Qiu Wen, along with seven other girls, boarded the plane bound for Zhuhai City.

Upon arriving at the Galaxy Hotel, which had already been booked, the group of nine checked in.
