My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 816: The Zhang Brothers

The Galaxy Hotel is renowned throughout Huaxia from north to south. Besides its five-star reputation, it is one of the properties under the Tang Family Business. Speaking of the Tang Family Business, it is well-known across Huaxia because the Tang Family is the richest in the country. There’s another name for the Tang Family: Eastern Tang.Speaking of Eastern Tang, one cannot help but mention Western Song.

Western Song refers to the Song Family, ranked second on Huaxia’s billionaire list.

Why these names?

It’s because the Tang Family and the Song Family dominate most of the business territories in the south: the Tang Family to the east, and the Song Family to the west. Other small businesses and companies survive in the gap between them.

This economic forum gathers the top ten billionaires of Huaxia, effectively bringing all the top figures together.

The Tang Family has specially cleared out the Galaxy Hotel to accommodate the various guests. During the economic forum, they do not accept any guests, showcasing the Tang Family’s grandeur.

Inside the hotel, every aspect and field of pleasure and entertainment is covered, with lavishness at its peak.

As soon as Ye Fan and others entered the hotel, a beautifully dressed young woman, disguised as a maid, sent a message in a respectful tone: "Miss, the man named Ye Fan, whom you are concerned about, has arrived."

"Got it." The beautifully dressed woman immediately received a reply.

As for this lady, everyone is familiar with her. She is Song Meimei, the precious gem of the Song Family.

Song Meimei will also attend this forum, but she hasn’t arrived yet. She had already sent someone in advance to keep tabs on Ye Fan’s movements.

Upon receiving the news, Song Meimei rushed over like the wind.

"Ye Fan, I need to have a good talk with you this time. Whatever it takes, I must snatch you away from Mengyao." Song Meimei thought cunningly, as it’s rare for her to acknowledge a man, and she’s willing to go all out for it.

Inside the hotel suite, after Ye Fan and the others tidied up a bit, they began planning their next moves.

"From tomorrow, the first three days are reserved for private gatherings and interactions among elites, with the formal charity gala taking place on the fourth evening. The top ten billionaires will each auction an item, with all proceeds going towards Huaxia’s charitable activities, invested in sectors like disease and education." Du Xueqi reported the upcoming schedule professionally: "It’s currently noon, and in my opinion, we should reach out to neutral parties or businesses that haven’t openly stated opposition to the Chu Group, to establish some connections. After all, this is the Chu Group’s first time participating in such an event. Particularly during the charity auction, if the other billionaires unite to make our auction item nobody bids on or sells it for a low price, it would be embarrassing and make us a target of ridicule."

Speaking from her position, Du Xueqi considered all the potential issues.

"Whether friend or foe, let things take their course. Nothing can be forced, and going the extra mile would only invite disdain." Mengyao calmly said, "Rather than lowering our standing, it’s better to adapt to the situation and remain flexible. Since this is our first time at such an event, we shouldn’t engage in activities that make us the topic of gossip, which could lead to being looked down upon. It’s better for others to approach us to build connections with the Chu Group rather than us lowering ourselves."

"Even so, we must at least make our presence felt," Du Xueqi suggested.

"Participating in such a forum for the first time, it’s wiser to be cautious. Being ignored is better than becoming a subject of gossip. Human hearts are unpredictable, and we can’t determine friend from foe. It’s better to abstain from unnecessary actions," Ye Fan said plainly.

"I will continue to gather information useful to us," Du Xueqi understood.

"You focus on your work. If anyone comes to visit, just entertain them. We’ll step out for a bit," Mengyao said, signaling a glance at Ye Fan, and they both stood up.

"Take a couple of people along, it will be convenient," Du Xueqi suggested, knowing she couldn’t spare any time herself. As President Chu’s secretary, she is the face of the Chu Group. In the absence of the president, she naturally has to hold the fort. Besides, Shen Yaqing couldn’t leave either, as they needed her hacking skills to gather intelligence on the various forces. Being unaware of even the basic information about others would be highly improper.

"Qiu Wen can come along," Ye Fan decided.

Du Xueqi and the others were aware of the Fire Phoenix affair, so they didn’t ask further questions. They simply performed their assigned duties, ensuring their benefactor and president had no worries, unconcerned with anything beyond that.

Thus, Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Qiu Wen left together.

They drove straight to their destination after retrieving the car from the underground garage.

This car had been ready for a long time. When serving as an instructor, Ye Fan had all the transportation handled.

......

The Zhang Family Business, with assets over a billion, primarily engages in the restaurant industry. Within Zhuhai City, it’s not considered a major business, but it is a significant wealthy entity nonetheless.

In the small circle, a rumor is well-known. Zhang Furen, the eldest son of the Zhang Family and the forgotten biological younger brother of the Fire Phoenix, was recently expelled from his family. The reason was quite simple: rumors suggested Zhang Furen made inappropriate remarks and acted indecently towards his second stepmother. There was even a video published of Zhang Furen forcibly hugging his stepmother while she resisted.

Because of this video, the chairman of Zhang Family Business, Zhang Wushan, expelled his eldest son and severed their father-son relationship.

Fire Phoenix’s fate was tumultuous, and Ye Fan and Mengyao could only make a mental note of this. This trip was an opportunity to visit Zhang Furen, and if possible, offer him some help.

At a restaurant during noon, business was thriving.

Due to being kicked out of his family, Zhang Furen had to work as a waiter to make ends meet, living hand-to-mouth as he waited tables and washed dishes.

Zhang Furen’s expulsion caused a stir in the small circle, allowing Ye Fan and the others to gather some information long before. They not only knew Zhang Furen’s workplace but also his residence.

Ye Fan and the two others entered the restaurant and, after sitting down, Zhang Furen hurriedly approached their table, wiping sweat and smiling: "What would you like to eat?"

Seeing the trio’s attire, revealing people of non-ordinary background, Zhang Furen maintained his professionalism as a waiter without any change in expression.

Qiu Wen ordered a few specialty dishes, and after some polite exchanges, Zhang Furen left.

At this moment, Qiu Wen glanced toward a corner and said, "Isn’t it peculiar? How is Zhang Jia’s other son, Zhang Jiren, here too?"
