Chapter 1186 Changes within the Ye Family
As he spoke, he raised two fingers and said in a firm tone:
"The first is 'trust'! Without trust, a man cannot stand, and without trust, a business cannot prosper!"
"Director Lu has given us a life-saving grace! He kept his promise and saved us from dire straits."
"He needs us now. No matter who the opponent is, no matter how great the cost, if we retreat out of fear of difficulty, and betray our promise out of fear of disaster, then what difference will we make from those who took advantage of our misfortune and betrayed us in the past?!"
"The second is 'righteousness'! Even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring!"
"Not to mention the life-saving grace and the virtue of rebirth? Seeking profit and avoiding harm is instinctive, but repaying kindness is human nature!"
"If we only know how to take, without knowing how to give back, and only care about gains and losses, without considering friendship and loyalty, then our path will become narrower and narrower, and one day we will be deserted by our friends and family!"
He paused, his eyes scanning the list. There was no more hesitation in his eyes, only a desperate determination and an almost tragic resolve.
"Yan Shuo, you're right. If we attack, we might suffer heavy losses, or even be injured again."
"But if we don't take action, we will lose the foundation of our existence, the soul of our business! Something more important than money and the company—reputation and backbone!"
"Without Mr. Lu, there would be no Hengtai today, and there would be no chance for you and me to stand here!"
"So, don't hesitate any longer!"
Hu Yintang waved his hand violently, his voice rising suddenly, filled with unquestionable majesty and determination to burn his boats:
"Pass my order! Gather all senior officials immediately! Initiate the highest level emergency response!"
"Use all the resources we can! Funds, connections, channels, public opinion! Follow the list given by President Liu!"
"Go all out! No matter the cost! I must complete the task assigned by President Liu perfectly and satisfy President Lu!"
"Let the Ye family see who owns Guang Province! And let Director Lu know that his original choice was not wrong! I, Hu Yintang, and Hengtai Group are worthy of his trust!"
Wang Yanshuo looked at the chairman in front of him, who seemed to have suddenly become ten years younger and whose eyes were burning with fire. All the doubts and fears in his heart were dispelled by this resolute momentum.
He straightened his back, his eyes lit with fighting spirit, nodded vigorously, and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Yes! Chairman! I understand! I'll do it right away!" After saying that, he no longer hesitated, turned around and walked away quickly, his steps firm and powerful.
Hu Yintang turned to the floor-to-ceiling window again, looking at the land under his feet where he had fought for half his life, his eyes complex and deep.
He knew that this battle was a gamble for Hengtai's future. But he also knew that some things were more important than the future.
Such a dilemma also happened to Didu Hanzi Tiaodong and Zhang Tianyi.
When Liu Ruyan's order was conveyed to the point where the Chinese characters jumped, Zhang Tianyi, who was always decisive, hesitated for a long time, which was unusual.
Although he was very willing to help Lu Feng in his heart, he had to consider reality.
The headquarters of Hanzi Dancing is located in the imperial capital. If he listened to Liu Ruyan and joined the war, it would be equivalent to offending the Ye family and the Wang family at the same time, and even the Zhao family and the Lin family.
If the Shen family and the Li family were defeated at that time, what would be waiting for him would be the tremendous anger from the four families.
Although Hanzi Jump is now ranked as the third largest Internet group in China, it is a household name in China with a market value of trillions of dollars.
But facing four ancient families at the same time is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, which is beyond one's ability.
What's even more unfortunate is that he has nowhere to run, after all, the Chinese character jumps and he himself are in the imperial capital.
Unlike his hesitation, after receiving the notice, Lei Zheng joined the war without any hesitation and successfully swallowed up a small cooperation of the Zhao family.
Of course, Lei Zheng’s loyalty is part of the reason, but the more important reason is that Lu Feng holds 90% of the shares of the Rice Group, which means he has absolute control. It is useless for Lei Zheng to oppose it.
The participation of these major groups made the Ye family, which was already surrounded by enemies, even more chaotic. Although they fought hard, they were still defeated.
The old house of the Ye family.
Ye Wenwu, Ye Wenyuan, and the three most powerful people in the Ye family gathered in the inner hall.
Among them, Ye Wenyuan still sat in the main seat, while Ye Wenwu sat on Ye Wenyuan’s left.
But what’s interesting is that there is only one person in power sitting on Ye Wenyuan’s right, while there are two people in power sitting next to Ye Wenwu.
Ye Wenyuan's eyes swept across the seating arrangement below, and a trace of gloom and anxiety that was difficult to conceal flashed across the depths of his eyes.
His younger brother, Ye Wenwu, was currently sitting on his left, seemingly respectful in his posture. However, his slightly leaning back posture, as well as the two core leaders of the Ye family sitting on his left and right—Ye Hongyuan and Ye Qiming—silently demonstrated an invisible power.
On his right, sitting alone was Ye Zhenhai, who was quite loyal to him.
This sharp contrast was like a thorn that pierced Ye Wenyuan's heart.
It's only been a few days? Under the immense external pressure and the drag of Ye Tian, the "disaster star", so many of the elders and powerful figures who originally relied on him have turned to Ye Wenwu!
He could clearly feel that the morale of the family was draining away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If this trend continues, let alone maintaining his dignity as the head of the family, it won’t be long before his position becomes a mere formality, or even... the owner may change!
Ye Wenwu keenly caught the suppressed anger and anxiety in his brother's eyes. He sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm and reserved as usual, even with a hint of "confusion" just right.
He leaned forward slightly and broke the silence in the inner hall. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone:
"Brother, why are you calling us all here so urgently? Is there some new major incident on the front line?"
He deliberately used the term "big brother" instead of "head of the family", and his tone seemed intimate, as if he was just a younger brother who cared about family affairs.
Ye Wenyuan forced himself to suppress the turmoil in his heart, took a deep breath, and tried to make his voice sound steady and powerful, but the fatigue and heaviness could not be completely concealed:
"Guys, the situation is worse than we expected."
"Lu Feng...he's no longer just a small-time guy."
"His Fengyuan Group, Lu Group, as well as the forces controlled by the Shen and Li families, have launched a full-scale attack on us!"
"This isn't just a commercial competition; it's an all-out war! In the past day alone, our industries across the country have suffered targeted attacks. The losses... are incalculable!"
"I called everyone here to pool our wisdom and see if you have any good ideas to turn the tide."
"Our Ye family has reached a critical juncture of life and death!"
As he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the inner hall became more solemn.
Ye Zhenhai frowned, as if he was racking his brains for a solution.
Ye Hongyuan, who was sitting below Ye Wenwu, suddenly snorted undisguisedly, breaking the silence.
