My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 516: Chapter 515: Slap in the Face On the Spot (First update)

Commercial Management organization.

Ye Wenhan is organizing a meeting on the reconstruction of the old city district.

All the key figures of Commercial Management are in attendance, except for the Chief.

The Chief position is somewhat exceptional, serving primarily as an independent department. Ye Wenhan is currently managing the daily operations of Commercial Management, so the Chief does not typically attend.

Moreover, there are only two out of the original four Chiefs left in Commercial Management.

Rumors are circulating that the position of Chief in Commercial Management has become a mere figurehead. Everything is now being handled by Ye Wenhan, the leader of Commercial Management. The power of the Chiefs in Commercial Management is fading, as Ye Wenhan progressively reduces their rights and consolidates everything under his control.

Public opinion of Ye Wenhan is currently very high, with many people believing that he is an exceptionally capable person. There are even those who anticipate revolutionary changes in the Commercial Management organization under his leadership. Amid such high praise, Ye Wenhan has grown increasingly confident in his work. Perhaps confidence really does lead to progress because Ye Wenhan’s recent efforts in the reconstruction of the old city district have showcased his remarkable capability.

Song Zhizhi merely watches Ye Wenhan, observing his somewhat excessive displays.

His spirited meeting concludes, marking the end of the gathering.

Ye Wenhan appears to pace himself, helplessly immersed in his own accomplishment.

Only now does he realize that managing a Commercial Management organization is not as difficult as he thought.

He returns to his office, still caught up in the excitement.

He has taken quite a liking to holding meetings recently, almost as if meetings have become a crucial way for him to flaunt his abilities.

His assistant heaps lavish praises on him.

There is a knock from outside the door.

Ye Wenhan composes himself, his mood still bright. He says, “Come in.”

Song Zhizhi walks in.

Seeing Song Zhizhi fill Ye Wenhan with more self-satisfaction.

Song Zhizhi respectfully hands him a document for review and signature.

Ye Wenhan takes one glance at it but deliberately does not sign it.

Song Zhizhi raises an eyebrow. “Does Mr. Ye have any questions?” she asks.

“Song Zhizhi, don’t you regret your decision now?” Ye Wenhan asks.

Song Zhizhi lets out a cold laugh.

At the sight of her smile, Ye Wenhan’s face darkens. “What are you laughing at! Let me tell you, it won’t be long before I make you cry!”

Song Zhizhi remains unreactive.

“Don’t pretend to be indifferent. Song Zhizhi, we were once in love with each other. If you truly regret your decision, tell me. Maybe I could reconsider and get back together with you,” Ye Wenhan adds.

Song Zhizhi simply looks at Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan rises from his office chair.

He approaches Song Zhizhi, asking, “Tell me, why did you suddenly break up with me back then?”

“Is there a need for a reason?”

“Certainly.” Ye Wenhan seems confident.

“Because you’re scum.”

“Song Zhizhi!”

“Using me as a stepping stone to gain power, sacrificing our families… Why would I want to stay together with someone like you?”

“How would you know? How could you possible know what I was thinking!”

“Ye Wenhan, people’s actions eventually reveal their intentions. Nothing can be kept a secret forever.”

“Fine. I admit that I once used you for personal gain. I did use you to gain power. But now, I already have plenty of power. It’s enormous, in fact. I no longer need you to build my connections…”

“So?”

“So, would you want to get back together with me?” Ye Wenhan speaks slowly and clearly.

Song Zhizhi just looks at him.

She really does not understand why Ye Wenhan is suddenly saying these things.

Seeing Song Zhizhi’s reaction, Ye Wenhan smiles inwardly. “Aren’t you honored? Even though you are married and cannot be considered ‘new’ anymore, I am still willing to be with you. Aren’t you feeling ecstatic inside?”

“Ye Wenhan, where do you get the confidence to assume that I want to be with you? Do you think you are better than Ji Baijian?”

“No matter how good Ji Baijian is, does he have as much power as I do? Song Zhizhi, men should not be judged by their looks. Ji Baijian may be handsome, but what can he provide you with? I heard that Ji Baijian isn’t even going to work these days. He has become so unmotivated. What do you even find attractive about him?”

Song Zhizhi retorts, “If we’re talking about lack of ambition, Mr. Ye, you should reflect on yourself first!”

“Seeing you defend Ji Baijian like this… I am giving you another chance, the last chance. If you would consider divorcing Ji Baijian, I could forget the past and get back together with you.” Ye Wenhan speaks as if he is obliging her. Despite everything, he still believes that Juan Zhizhi’s being with him is a mark of distinction, something she should feel extremely fortunate about.

Instead of responding to his other words, Song Zhizhi asks him, “Mr. Ye, are you feeling better?”

Ye Wenhan’s face falls immediately.

Of course, he understands Song Zhizhi’s sarcasm.

He had been suffering from a physical disability for a while. However, after receiving therapy from a psychologist, his condition, which was predominantly mental, had improved significantly. If it hadn’t been for the recovery, he wouldn’t have considered winning Xin Zaozao by those means.

The thoughts of Xin Zaozao sparked anger within Ye Wenhan.

However, he feels that it would be better to win Song Zhizhi back directly than going through the same process with Xin Zaozao.

Song Zhizhi had loved him before. He still had no idea why Song Zhizhi abruptly broke up with him. Now that he has heard her explanation about discovering his schemes, it just makes more sense for the woman to be with him given that he no longer need to use her.

Aren’t all women pragmatic? At present, his status and power far exceed that of Ji Baijian, and unless Song Zhizhi is foolish, she should choose to be with him.

He does treat Song Zhizhi differently from other women. He does have feelings for her. Whether it is the desire to conquer her or unwillingness to let go, he has intentions to be with Song Zhizhi.

Of course, that’s not just it.

Currently, Song Zhizhi holds an abundance of resources which he has overlooked until now. Over the years, Song Zhizhi has done so many things covertly that the entire Jin City consortium is essentially under her control. Once he wins her over, he will be able to utilize the Jin City consortium to his advantage.

All calculations went pretty well.

Ye Wenhan wears a smirk, “Wouldn’t we know once we try?”

Song Zhizhi’s laugh was full of sarcasm.

Ye Wenhan’s face darkened, “Song Zhizhi, you’d better show me some respect!”

“I just feel that Mr. Ye is really a bit too confident. Confidence is a good thing, but too much of it can lead to loss.”

“I don’t want to argue with you anymore, you can go back and think about it. I’ll give you three days, three days is enough to clear your mind, whether you want to follow me or Ji Baijian!”

“No need for three days, I’m telling you now, I reject.” Song Zhizhi said emphatically.

Ye Wenhan’s anger surged.

Song Zhizhi said, “Setting aside my disgust for you, I love Ji Baijian.”

Wenhan’s face instantly turned black.

“Yes, it’s love.” Song Zhizhi said, “I’d love him even if he has nothing. As for you, even if you have great power, you’re just a disgusting existence in my eyes, I won’t degrade myself for a lifetime.”

“Song Zhizhi!” Ye Wenhan’s rage was uncontrollable. He yelled at Song Zhizhi.

The woman always knows how to make him suffer.

“One day you will regret it! One day you will regret rejecting me! Song Zhizhi, this is your last chance. If you discard face, we’ll see!”

“Not later.” Song Zhizhi said, “Mr. Ye is now basking in his own joy, why not watch the news? There are some murmurs about Mr. Ye on the news, you should spend more time on crisis public relations.”

“What did you say …”

“What I said, Mr. Ye, you’ll know if you look at the news.” Song Zhizhi remained indifferent, she turned around. “Since Mr. Ye doesn’t want to sign, I’ll leave the document here with you. When Mr. Ye has signed, please let your assistant notify me, I’ll come and get it.”

With that, she turned on her heels and left.

Looking at Song Zhizhi’s back, Ye Wenhan wished he could kill her.

Since.

Since you throw away face when given, wait and see what’s coming to you.

The Song family was overdue for stepping down.

More precisely, in the future, he will dominate the Commercial Management organization. All so-called chiefs will be dismissed by him!

He glanced at his phone, recalling what Song Zhizhi had just said.

One headline read, “Renovation of the old city area, suspected of jerry-building.”

Wenhan’s heart twinged.

He read the content.

An informant revealed that the renovation cost of the old city area is clearly lower than the market price. Isn’t such a renovation of the old city too rash? The most important thing about urban renovation is safety. Will this result in a tofu-dreg project if materials are reduced in houses, bridges, streets etc?

Ye Wenhan’s anger flared up.

He didn’t even have to think about it, it must be Song Zhizhi slandering him.

Now, was he so easily scared by Song Zhizhi?

He didn’t even think about it, just told his assistant, “I want to hold a press conference.”

“Mr. Ye?”

“Today at 4pm.”

“What’s the topic?”

“I want to positively respond to the doubts about me in today’s news.”

“Understood.” The assistant didn’t dare to challenge Wenhan too much.

Those who were previously loyal to Qian Guanshu are now watching Wenhan ascend to power and can’t handle criticism and suggestions. They all closed their mouths. Wenhan is really doing whatever he wants now, freely, and he is truly enjoying the thrill of power!

This unprecedented feeling is very exciting to him.

He even regretted the two years under Guanshu’s control!

Four o’clock in the afternoon.

Ye Wenhan appeared in front of the press conference.

When the main helmsman holds a press meeting, many people naturally came. Reporters from almost every media in Jin City were present.

Ye Wenhan said, “The only purpose of meeting all the press is to make the construction of the old city transparent to the public. The old city is an idea I’ve had for a long time and is now under construction. Every detail of the project, from material selection, is personally supervised by me. I just want to give my best to everyone, to the public. However, someone now doubts that there are shortcuts in the renovation of the old city. Indeed, the budget for the renovation of the old city is lower than the market price. The money saved is linked with the contractors who aren’t seeking much profit due to patriotic sentiment. That’s why you see the current situation where the budget is small but the project is proceeding at a brisk pace!”

Ye Wenhan’s powerful and forceful voice echoed through the conference room.

After he finished speaking, the reporters began to inquire, “Mr. Ye, do you mean that the current construction cost of the old city is lower than the market price because you negotiated everything?”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Ye, what do you want to say to the person who slandered you?”

“Those who are clean are clean. I really don’t want to waste time on the person who stirs up trouble. I know in my heart that I’m innocent. Besides, is the reporter from the Milky Way here?”

“Here.” A reporter quickly raised his hand.

Wenhan said coldly, “Go back and tell your chairman, it’s best to have substantial evidence when publishing news. If you slander me once or twice, I take it as a profit operation by your media. But if you keep smearing me, I will also pursue legal liability!”

The reporter said nervously, “Yes, I’ll convey your message.”

“My time is very precious, I have a lot of things to do, I don’t want to waste time clarifying things to the public. Please verify the authenticity of the news before reporting. Your waste of my time is also a waste of the public’s time. Please understand. We’ll stop here. This press conference is over.”

That time.

Turn to leave.

However, the next moment, the door of the press conference was suddenly opened, and several uniformed staff walked directly towards Ye Wenhan.

The whole room… was in an uproar.
