Chapter 41

As the youngest vice president of Green Lake Group's Jiangnan branch, Xu Weize had his own independent office.

His office was directly opposite the elevator entrance and next to the assistant to the general manager's office.

Perhaps because many people often passed by his office door, or perhaps to prevent eavesdropping, Xu Weize often kept his office door closed.

Today was no exception. When he entered, Xu Weize habitually closed the door.

Like Su Yuxin's office, Xu Weize's office also had a small bedroom.

After entering the office, Xu Weize did not prepare the materials for the morning meeting but instead walked to the door of the small bedroom and pushed it open.

To ensure that company leaders like Su Yuxin and Xu Weize were not disturbed during their rest, the walls and windows of the small bedroom were specially made with excellent soundproofing.

In the small bedroom, Xu Weize opened his leather bag, took out three spare SIM cards, and inserted one into his phone.

After doing this, Xu Weize quickly dialed a number deeply etched in his heart.

"Mr. He, it's me," the call was quickly answered, and Xu Weize greeted with a look of reverence.

"I know it's you, get to the point," came the reply from the other end.

On the other end, He Fenghua, the future heir of the He family, sat in an office even more grand and luxurious than Su Yuxin's, holding a cigar in his hand. He took a puff and spoke with an unyielding tone.

Seemingly already accustomed to He Fenghua's domineering style, Xu Weize not only felt no resentment but was even more respectful: "Mr. He, Su Yuxin returned to the company today and is personally in charge of the bidding for the 'Binhe New District Phase I Project.' Additionally, she brought a man back with her. It's said that the man rode the exclusive elevator with her and was assigned the position of assistant. The company is buzzing with speculation about this."

"Hmm?"

He Fenghua, upon hearing this, paused his hand holding the cigar in mid-air, then sat up straight and asked, "Do you know the man's background?"

"I don't know his specific background, only that his name is Ye Fan."

Xu Weize was somewhat puzzled. In his memory, there was no such person as Ye Fan in the Jiangnan real estate industry, and given Su Yuxin's character, there was no reason for her to hire a male assistant.

"Ye Fan?" He Fenghua was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "I see."

"Mr. He, do you know this person?" Xu Weize blurted out.

He Fenghua did not answer the question directly, his tone turning cold, "Xu Weize, this is your negligence."

"Mr. He... Mr. He, I..."

Sensing the change in He Fenghua's tone, Xu Weize's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes showed a hint of fear.

As the youngest vice president of Green Lake Group's Jiangnan branch, he was actually a spy planted by the He family in the Su family years ago, with the aim of infiltrating the Su family's inner circle and providing useful information to the He family to help them gradually swallow up the Su family.

Given this situation, if He Fenghua knew about Ye Fan's background and he did not, it was a serious dereliction of duty!

"Only this time, no more," He Fenghua extinguished the cigar and said coldly, "The man named Ye Fan is just Su Yuxin's doctor, you don't need to worry about him. What you need to do is, at all costs, get the Su family's bid price for the Binhe New District Phase I Project!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. He, I will complete the task!"

Seeing that He Fenghua was not angry, Xu Weize secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the Binhe New District Phase I Project was a huge piece of cake for both the Su family and the He family. Both sides had used all their resources to compete for it, not only squeezing out other competitors but also leveraging political power.

As a result, the official in charge of the project's bidding was afraid of becoming a pawn in the struggle between the two families and adopted the "lowest bid price" rule.

The "lowest bid price" method involves evaluating the bids in ascending order of price, recommending the bidder with the lowest bid price that is not below the cost price as the winner.

This method avoids the possibility of backroom dealings—whether a construction company wins the bid depends on its bid price!

If the He family knew the Su family's bid price, they could win the bid with a lower price!

If the He family won the bid, it would be a significant blow to the Su family!

After all, a project worth billions is rare, let alone a highly profitable national key project?

After ending the call, Xu Weize carefully removed the SIM card from his phone, broke it in half, and quickly walked into the independent bathroom in the bedroom, throwing it into the toilet.

"Su Yuxin, Su Yuxin, you managed to save your life, but instead of enjoying life, you insist on competing with Mr. He. Isn't this just asking for trouble?" Watching the SIM card flush away, Xu Weize felt relieved and sneered.

Should he tell her about this?

In the adjacent office of the general manager's assistant, Ye Fan, who was downloading the game 'LoL,' recalled everything he had just heard, with a thoughtful expression.

After some thought, Ye Fan decided not to tell Su Yuxin about it.

After all, he could not provide concrete evidence to prove that Xu Weize was problematic, and telling Su Yuxin without proof would lack persuasiveness!

...

Although Ye Fan held the title of assistant to the general manager, he was actually a figurehead. Therefore, Su Yuxin did not call him to attend the morning meeting.

This left the attendees somewhat puzzled.

However, Ye Fan was unaware that he had become a mysterious figure in the eyes of the lower-level employees and was also being watched by the company's leadership. Throughout the morning, he was immersed in the 'LoL' game, with his hero ranking steadily rising.

As the clock approached twelve, the meeting ended, and Yang Miaomiao returned to the office with a stack of documents.

"Assistant Yang, the meeting is over?" Seeing Yang Miaomiao return to the office, Ye Fan felt a bit embarrassed about playing the game and smiled as he greeted her.

"Yes." Yang Miaomiao nodded and then, seeing Ye Fan exit the game, smiled, "It's fine, Doctor Ye, you can keep playing, no need to worry about me."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan was initially taken aback but then understood. Since Yang Miaomiao was Su Yuxin's assistant, she was naturally the top confidant in the company. Therefore, it was not surprising that Su Yuxin had told her the real situation.

Moreover, if Su Yuxin did not tell Yang Miaomiao the truth, it might make Yang Miaomiao think that she was not doing her job well.

"Ah— I almost forgot, General Manager Su asked me to tell you that she will continue the meeting with several vice presidents and asked me to take you to lunch. Do you want to eat in the cafeteria or go out?" After putting down the documents, Yang Miaomiao patted her forehead, looking apologetic.

She really is a workaholic.

Hearing this, Ye Fan was somewhat worried about whether Su Yuxin could handle the stress but did not say it in front of Yang Miaomiao. Instead, he smiled, "Let's just eat in the cafeteria."

When Ye Fan followed Yang Miaomiao to the company cafeteria, it was already crowded with employees eating in groups.

Whoosh!

Seeing Ye Fan and Yang Miaomiao appear, the employees looked at Ye Fan as if they had discovered a new continent.

"Is that Ye Fan?"

"It must be, otherwise Assistant Yang wouldn't be eating with him."

For a moment, the employees in the cafeteria chatted and speculated while eating.

"I've only been here for half a day, how do they all seem to know me?" Hearing the chatter around him, Ye Fan was curious.

Assistant Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Ye, you don't know, General Manager Su is known as the 'cold-faced president' in the company, and everyone is afraid of her. On your first day, not only did you come to the company with General Manager Su, but you also rode the exclusive elevator with her and were appointed as her assistant. With all these things happening, it's hard for you not to become famous!"

"Is that so?" Ye Fan smiled and joked, "Maybe some people will mistake me for a kept man."

"Uh..."

Perhaps not expecting Ye Fan to joke about Su Yuxin so casually, Yang Miaomiao was taken aback and didn't know how to respond.

Like in the morning, Ye Fan spent the entire afternoon playing 'LoL.'

At dusk, Su Yuxin called Ye Fan on the company's internal phone, "Doctor Ye, it's time to go home, wait for me at the elevator entrance."

"Okay."

Ye Fan exited the game, shut down his computer, and left the office.

"General Manager Su, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is still weak. Don't overwork yourself; you need more rest." As soon as Ye Fan stepped out of the office, he heard a familiar voice and looked in the direction of the sound.

What met his eyes was a man in his thirties, wearing a casual suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his face filled with a warm smile, exuding the aura of a business elite.

"Thank you for your concern, President Xu."

In response to the man's concern, Su Yuxin nodded slightly, her expression not cold but still giving off an air of inaccessibility.

The man seemed to be used to Su Yuxin's coldness and did not mind, exchanging a few pleasantries before leaving.

At the same time, Ye Fan walked out of the office and casually asked Su Yuxin, "Is he a vice president of the company?"

"Yes."

Perhaps not expecting Ye Fan to care about the company, Su Yuxin was somewhat surprised but explained honestly, "His name is Xu Weize, the youngest vice president of the company, 34 years old, quite famous in the real estate industry, very capable, and many companies want to poach him. The company had to offer a high salary to retain him."

Xu Weize.

Ye Fan wanted to warn Su Yuxin but, seeing her high praise for Xu Weize, swallowed his words.

He just silently remembered the name.
