44: Chapter 041 [Walls Have Ears] 44: Chapter 041 [Walls Have Ears] As the youngest deputy director of the Lv Hu Group Jiangnan Company, Xu Weize had an independent office.

His office was right in front of the elevator entrance and next to the general manager assistant’s office.

Perhaps because people often passed by his office door, or because he feared that walls have ears, Xu Weize usually kept his office door closed.

Today was no exception; upon entering, Xu Weize habitually shut the door behind him.

Like Su Yuxin’s office, Xu Weize’s office was also equipped with a small bedroom.

After entering the office, Xu Weize didn’t prepare the speaking materials for this morning’s meeting; instead, he walked up to the small bedroom door, pushed it open, and entered.

To ensure that company leaders like Su Yuxin and Xu Weize weren’t disturbed while resting, the walls and windows of the small bedroom were specially made with excellent sound insulation.

In the small bedroom, Xu Weize opened his briefcase, took out three spare phone cards, selected one, and swapped it into his phone.

Having done all this, Xu Weize quickly dialed a number he had memorized deep in his heart.

“Young Master He, it’s me.” The call connected quickly, and Xu Weize greeted with an awe-filled expression.

“I know it’s you.

Get straight to the point.”

On the other side of the phone, He Fenghua, the future heir of the He Family, sat in an office even more luxurious and grand than Su Yuxin’s, holding a cigar in his hand.

He took a puff and then spoke in an unquestionable tone.

Seemingly already accustomed to He Fenghua’s forceful style, not only was Xu Weize not dissatisfied, he felt even more respect: “Young Master He, today Su Yuxin returned to the company and is preparing to personally take charge of ‘the bidding for the Binhe New District Phase I project.’ In addition, she brought back a man.

It’s said that this man took the exclusive elevator with her and has been appointed the position of an assistant, creating quite a buzz in the company.”

“Oh?”

When he heard this, He Fenghua, with the cigar in his right hand, paused in mid-air, then sat up straight and asked, “Do you know the background of that man?”

“I don’t know the details, 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 it was out of character for Su Yuxin to hire a male assistant.

“Ye Fan?” He Fenghua was slightly startled and then laughed, “I see.”

“Young Master He knows this person?” Xu Weize blurted out.

He Fenghua didn’t answer directly, his voice turning colder: “Xu Weize, this is where you’ve been remiss.”

“He…

Young Master He, I…”

Sensing the shift in He Fenghua’s tone, Xu Weize’s heart skipped a beat, and a trace of panic was evident in his eyes.

As the youngest deputy director of the Lv Hu Group Jiangnan Branch, he was actually a mole planted by the He Family in the Su Family years ago, with the aim of infiltrating the Su Family’s inner circle to provide the He Family with valuable information and help them gradually devour the Su Family.

In such a situation, the fact that He Fenghua knew about Ye Fan’s background while he was clueless constituted a serious dereliction of duty!

“Only this once, it must not happen again.”

He Fenghua extinguished his cigar and spoke coldly, “That man named Ye Fan is just Su Yuxin’s doctor; you don’t need to concern yourself with him.

What you need to do is, at all costs, get your hands on the Su Family’s bid for the Binhe New District Phase I project!”

“Please rest assured, Young Master He, I guarantee the task will be completed!”

Seeing that He Fenghua was not infuriated, Xu Weize secretly heaved a sigh of relief, yet he knew that for both the Su Family and the He Family, the Binhe New District Phase I project was a huge piece of cake.

To fight for this cake, both had employed every possible scheme, not only edging out other competitors but also exerting governmental influence.

This led to the officials responsible for the project’s tender process fearing becoming the sacrifice in the clash between the two powerful clans and adopting the “lowest bid price” rule for selecting the winner.

The lowest bid price method involves preliminarily and thoroughly reviewing the bids that are not less than the cost price in ascending order and recommending the bidder with the lowest evaluated bid price as the winner.

As a result, it avoided the possibility of opaque operations—the construction company’s bid would determine whether they won the bid!

As long as the He Family knew the Su Family’s bidding 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, projects worth tens of billions were hard to come by, let alone highly profitable national key construction projects?

Ending the call, Xu Weize carefully removed the SIM card, snapped it in two, then walked quickly into the bedroom’s en suite bathroom and dropped it into the toilet.

“Su Yuxin, oh Su Yuxin, you say you barely escaped with your life, and instead of enjoying your life, you insist on competing with Young Master He—aren’t you asking for trouble?” Watching the SIM card being flushed away, Xu Weize let go of his worries and sneered non-stop.

Should he tell her about this?

In the office next door, where the general manager’s assistant was downloading the ‘League of Legends’ game, Ye Fan pondered everything he had just heard, a contemplative expression on his face.

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

After all, he couldn’t produce concrete evidence to prove Xu Weize’s misdoing, and to rashly tell Su Yuxin would not be convincing!

Although Ye Fan nominally held the title of the general manager’s assistant, he was just a figurehead, which was why Su Yuxin didn’t ask him to attend this morning’s meeting.

This caused some confusion among the meeting participants.

Ye Fan, unaware that he had not only become a mysterious figure in the minds of the grassroot employees but also caught the attention of the company’s leaders, spent the entire morning engrossed in the “LoL” game, climbing the hero rankings steadily.

As twelve o’clock approached, the meeting concluded, and Yang Miaomiao returned to the office with a pile of documents and files.

“Assistant Yang, is the meeting over?” Seeing Yang Miaomiao return to the office, Ye Fan, who felt a little embarrassed about playing games, greeted her with a smile.

“Mhm.” Yang Miaomiao nodded, then, seeing Ye Fan exit the game, she smiled and said, “It’s okay, Doctor Ye, play your game, don’t mind me.”

Huh?

At her words, Ye Fan was initially startled, but then he understood that since Yang Miaomiao was Su Yuxin’s assistant, she naturally was Su Yuxin’s most trusted confidante in the company; therefore, it wasn’t strange for Su Yuxin to tell her the real situation.

Moreover, if Su Yuxin hadn’t told Yang Miaomiao the real scoop, it might even lead Yang Miaomiao to mistakenly think that he wasn’t doing his job well.

“Ah—I almost forgot, Mr.

Su asked me to tell you that she has to continue the meeting with a few 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 in her hands, Yang Miaomiao slapped her forehead, her expression apologetic.

Such a workaholic indeed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan worried internally about whether Su Yuxin could sustain such hard work without affecting her health, but he chose not to express this concern in front of Yang Miaomiao and simply smiled, “Just grab something casual in the cafeteria.”

When Ye Fan followed Yang Miaomiao to the company cafeteria, it was already packed with people, with employees dining in groups of threes and fives everywhere you looked.

Whoosh!

Upon the appearance of Ye Fan and Yang Miaomiao, the company’s employees, as if they had discovered a new continent, immediately turned their gazes toward Ye Fan.

“That must be Ye Fan, right?”

“It should be, otherwise Assistant Yang wouldn’t be having lunch with him.”

For a time, the cafeteria was awash with employees eating while also chattering amongst themselves.

“I’ve only been here for half a day; how come it seems like they all know me?” Ye Fan curiously remarked, hearing the surrounding conversations.

Unable to help but laugh, Assistant Yang replied, “Mr.

Ye, you might not be aware, but Mr.

Su is known as the Cold-faced President in the company, and everyone is quite afraid of her.

Not only did you arrive on your first day with Mr.

Su, but you also took her exclusive elevator upstairs, and later, you were appointed as her assistant.

With all these events combined, it’d be hard for you not to become famous!”

“So that’s how it is.” Ye Fan joked with a laugh, “Maybe some people will mistakenly think I’m a kept man that Lady Su has under her wing.”

“Uh…”

Perhaps not expecting Ye Fan to joke so casually about Su Yuxin, Yang Miaomiao was momentarily taken aback, unsure of how to respond.

Just like in the morning, Ye Fan spent the entire afternoon playing the game “LoL.”

As dusk fell, Su Yuxin called Ye Fan on the company’s internal phone: “Divine Doctor Ye, work is over, wait for me at the elevator.”

“Okay.”

Ye Fan exited the game, shut down the computer, and stood up to leave the office.

“Mr.

Su, you’ve just recovered from a serious illness, and your body is still weak.

Don’t overwork yourself; you need to rest more.” As soon as Ye Fan walked out, he heard a familiar voice and immediately looked in its direction.

What Ye Fan saw was a man in casual business attire, around thirty-something years old, with rimmed glasses, a face full of friendly smiles, and an aura of a corporate elite emanating from him.

“Thank you for your concern, President Xu.”

Facing the man’s concern, Su Yuxin nodded slightly as a response.

Although her expression wasn’t too cold, she still gave off an unapproachable vibe.

The man seemed to be accustomed to Su Yuxin’s indifference and didn’t take it to heart.

After exchanging a few courtesies, he left.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan emerged from the office and went straight to Su Yuxin’s side, casually asking, “Is he one of the company’s vice presidents?”

“Yes.”

Perhaps surprised that Ye Fan showed an interest in the company’s affairs, Su Yuxin appeared a bit astonished but explained truthfully, “His name is Xu Weize, the youngest vice president in the company, thirty-four years old, quite famous in the real estate industry, very capable.

Many companies wanted to poach him, but we managed to keep him with a high salary.”

Xu Weize.

Ye Fan had wanted to remind Su Yuxin, but seeing how highly she thought of Xu Weize, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He simply made a mental note of the name.
