Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 495
495 Almost Bankrupt
CEO Zhang raised a paper cup-sized glass and drank it in one gulp. Then, he poured another glass and spoke to Ye Hongliang.
“CEO Ye, we can be considered to have met once. At that time, I felt that you looked familiar. Now that I’ve compared Chairman Ye to you, you’re simply carved from the same mold. Come, I have to toast you. I wish you good health, prosperity, and a harmonious family. I’ll drink my entire glass. Please do as you please!”
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp, making all the CEOs exclaim, “CEO Zhang is magnanimous!”
Ye Hongliang did not hesitate. He picked up his wine glass and downed it in one gulp. Sun Xiaoqin’s heart ached when she saw this, but she could not say anything. After all, this was a major occasion.
After two glasses of wine, CEO Zhang did not feel uncomfortable at all. He still smiled and filled another glass before speaking to the sisters.
!!
“Miss Ye, you are really as beautiful as a fairy. Your temperament is also poetic and artistic. You’re dressed appropriately and are elegant. You’re simply indescribably beautiful. I must toast all of you. I wish you eternal youth and youthful looks. I’ll drink up. Everyone, please do as you please!”
“Thank you.”
The sisters looked at one another and smiled. They raised the cold freshly squeezed fruit juice in their hands and toasted CEO Zhang in the air. Then, they downed half a glass in one go and exclaimed in their hearts.
After CEO Zhang finished drinking, his skills shocked everyone. Even Ye Xuan was slightly surprised. He had drunk at least half a catty of baijiu in these three rounds. Could he really be so amazing?
At the same time, he glanced at his father, Ye Hongliang’s face. Seeing that it was already slightly red and that there were so many CEOs holding wine glasses behind him, Ye Xuan was speechless. He quickly stood up and took a small cup the size of a thumb from the wine cabinet and placed it on the table.
“Come, come, come. Everyone, drink with this. It’s just drinking. It’s not worth it to drink too much and harm the body.”
When the CEOs saw this, they all revealed grateful gazes. This was because CEO Zhang had directly downed a paper cup. Then, the smallest cup they would use to toast in the future would be a paper cup. It was the old rule at the wine table. Everyone understood.
Now that Chairman Ye had brought over a small cup, they heaved a sigh of relief. Then, they smiled and poured a small cup for each of them. They enthusiastically toasted Ye Xuan, Ye Hongliang, Sun Xiaoqin, and the sisters.
The entire private room was filled with a happy atmosphere. Under the diagonal sunlight at noon, an intoxicated atmosphere appeared. It was extremely lively.
After about two hours, they finally reached the end of the meal after 1 p.m. Everyone drank to their heart’s content and chatted happily with Ye Hongliang. They even signed two deals while chatting and laughing, making Ye Xuan happy.
After sending the CEOS off, Ye Xuan, his parents, and his sisters returned to the presidential suite. The moment they entered, his mother, Sun Xiaoqin, scolded them with a look of disdain.
“It stinks. You reek of alcohol. Go to sleep on the sofa during your afternoon nap. You’re not allowed to go back to your room, do you hear me? It stinks so much that I can’t sleep.”
Ye Hongliang scratched his head in embarrassment and spoke awkwardly.
“I had no choice. There were so many people. If I didn’t drink, wouldn’t I be disrespecting them? Fortunately, my son brought a small wine glass over. Otherwise, I would have suffered today.”
“Hmph, then you can drink less. I think you’re just craving wine. Why are you still looking for an excuse? You don’t cherish your body at all. You can just drink a few glasses.”
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Ye Hongliang smiled honestly and muttered.
“Hehe, I was craving wine a little.”
“You!”
Sun Xiaoqin immediately widened her eyes, making the sisters cover their mouths and laugh secretly.
However, while they were laughing, their sisters also looked at the weak and helpless Ye Xuan. The previous incident had shocked them so much that they had yet to recover. Now that they finally found an opportunity, they naturally had to ask him.
“Little Brother, are you the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation? What’s going on?”
“That’s right, Little Brother. How can you be the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation? You’re still so young.”
“Did you get someone to work together to put on an act? Tell me the truth.”
“That’s right. I was so surprised.”
When his parents heard their daughters’ questions, they stopped fooling around and stuck their heads over. They looked at Ye Xuan expectantly, wanting to hear his explanation.
After all, this was simply unbelievable. A seven or eight-year-old child who was in his second or third year of primary school was actually the chairman of the Dinglong Corporation!
It was the Dinglong Corporation, the leading company in China!
It was unbelievable. It was really unbelievable.
However, when Ye Xuan heard everyone’s question, he only shook his head slightly and spoke calmly.
“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you slowly when I have time in the future.”
After saying that, he got up and went to the rocking chair on the balcony, leaving behind a proud back view.
His parents and sisters instantly deflated. However, after hearing Ye Xuan’s words, his sisters suddenly recalled what had happened in the past and suddenly realized that in the past, when they encountered problems, they usually survived them safely. It was probably their little brother who did it.
After realizing this, his sisters were touched. Their noses immediately turned red, and their clear and bright eyes were filled with tears. Their mother, Sun Xiaoqin, quickly comforted them and hugged them one by one.
The scene changed. Meanwhile, in the banquet hall of the Ye family’s villa.
So much time had passed in the hall, but it was still as silent as death. There was no sound at all. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The people from the main family were all stunned. They sat on the ground and stared blankly at the dirty and messy flower-shaped wooden floor. No one said anything.
After a long while, a young man in formal attire suddenly ran in with a large stack of documents in his hand. He looked like a junior of the Ye family.
“Old Master, the companies of the Zhang, Ma, Gu, Wang, and other aristocratic families, as well as the Norton Corporation and other companies, have all cut ties with us. CEO Liu has announced to us that he will never cooperate with us. CEO Ma, CEO Zhao, CEO Li, and all the business giants have announced that they will never cooperate with us!”
“Moreover, the projects we’re working on have been announced to have stopped. The projects, factories, and so on have all stopped. The shares have fallen to the limit. We’ve lost billions! If we continue to lose money, we’ll go bankrupt! What should we do, Old Master?!”
Hearing the young man’s roar, the Ye family slowly came back to their senses. They felt like they a group of rats leaving a sinking ship. It was as if everyone had hit them when they were down.
They had never thought that such a thing would happen to them. This most unfortunate thing, which was like being hit by a thunderstorm and then calling 119 for a fire service without any signal, actually landed on their heads.
They thought that everything was in their hands. Their offline and online businesses, factory projects, real estate, and other projects were all developing steadily. With everyone’s good operations and the business brought about by the marriage alliance with the Lei family, Old Master Ye could imagine what the future would be and how powerful the Ye family would be.
But now, they were suddenly close to bankruptcy overnight.
