Ye Feng glanced at Zheng Guozhong, his expression calm as he said, "Yes, it's still in my hands."

Hearing this, Zheng Guozhong looked as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and he breathed a sigh of relief before excitedly saying, "Chairman Ye, you're welcome to return to the company anytime and lead us to new heights."

Indeed, the 55% shareholding was still in Ye Feng's possession, with the share agreement stored in a bank's underground vault years ago.

Whenever needed, he could retrieve it. This was his leverage to return to Yunfeng Group and one of the tools to bring down Xiao Jun.

"My return is inevitable. If you had wavered even slightly just now, everything you have today would soon be lost, leaving you with nothing."

"You've passed the test."

Ye Feng said with an air of nonchalance.

This statement made Zheng Guozhong break into a cold sweat. Luckily, he made the right choice, or he knew his fate would be as Ye Feng described.

"Alright, when are you holding the board meeting? I'll give Xiao Jun a surprise then."

Ye Feng revealed a slightly mischievous smile.

"Now that it's the end of the year, the board meeting will be held in a few days. We look forward to Chairman Ye's return to Yunfeng to take charge!"

Zheng Guozhong's expression was filled with excitement.

"Very well, I'll give everyone a surprise then."

Ye Feng nodded.

Having understood the situation, Ye Feng felt more confident and knew it was time to make some preparations.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Keep me updated on any developments."

Ye Feng stood up, ready to leave.

"Chairman Ye, how about joining me for a meal?"

Zheng Guozhong hurriedly suggested.

"No need, my classmates are still waiting for me."

Ye Feng left directly, but as he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "Remember, don't leak the news of my return, and make sure to prepare a decent set of clothes for me."

With that, he quietly closed the door.

Zheng Guozhong was momentarily stunned. Chairman Ye seemed very confident this time. If things went smoothly, his position in the company would surely rise to a new level.

Over the years, Xiao Jun had always suppressed him. Otherwise, with his ability and experience, how could he only be a small mall manager? If it weren't for the other shareholders' support, he might have been relegated to guarding the company's gate by now.

If Xiao Jun could be removed, his position would be more secure, and he had more faith in Ye Feng's ability for the company's future development.

With excitement, Zheng Guozhong began preparing for the upcoming board meeting, when that man would officially return.

What an inspiring event this was.

Chairman Ye was still the same as before, perhaps even more unpredictable now...

At this moment, Ye Feng had already left the office area of Liancheng Plaza and returned to the dining area on the second floor.

Luo Yan and Su Weiwei were still there. Seeing Ye Feng return, Luo Yan pouted and said haughtily, "Brother Feng, where did you run off to for so long?"

"Nowhere, just catching up with Manager Zheng. It's nothing, just old friends, and he helped a lot, so I had to be patient."

"Alright, we still need to buy some things, so let's go."

Ye Feng didn't let Luo Yan continue her endless questioning and quickly changed the subject.

"Weiwei, if you need to attend to your shop, you should go back. If your little shop keeps getting messed up by your staff, it might go under."

Su Weiwei thought for a moment, then flashed a charming smile, "Alright, let's keep in touch."

She waved her phone as she spoke.

Ye Feng nodded.

The two parted ways in the corridor outside.

He carried the large bags like a porter with Luo Yan, left the mall, and rode a small electric scooter home.

After returning home and seeing Luo Yan off, Ye Feng's expression gradually became serious. He still needed to make some arrangements.

With the shares he held, bringing down Xiao Jun in the company wasn't a difficult task.

The key was, Xiao Jun likely had the backing of the Ye family, so he needed to act with caution.

The Ye family, as the leading family in Lingnan Province, had unimaginable power. Otherwise, Ye Feng wouldn't have been inexplicably thrown into a prison with almost no chance of getting out.

The Ye family not only had a powerful commercial presence on the surface but also had a more terrifying hidden strength.

Ye Feng vaguely remembered that five years ago, he had almost no ability to resist when he was captured by a family enforcer of the Ye family.

He needed to make comprehensive preparations to prevent their counterattack. When the time came, his revenge would be swift and furious...

Meanwhile, in one of the buildings in Liancheng's most prosperous commercial district, Liu Yingying sat in her office, carefully reviewing documents.

Coco sat quietly on the sofa, holding a large photo and staring at it blankly, her big eyes unmoving, as if the little girl had something on her mind, looking listless.

Liu Yingying glanced at her daughter, feeling a headache coming on. Ever since returning from school to the company, her daughter had been staring at that heartless photo non-stop.

Sometimes Liu Yingying wanted to throw that annoying photo far away, but she couldn't help feeling sorry for her daughter's longing for her father.

She put down her work and walked over to Coco, speaking softly, "Coco, what's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Little Coco pointed to the photo of Ye Feng, her small face very serious, "Mom, I saw Dad today."

Liu Yingying was taken aback, not taking Coco's words to heart. She patted Coco's head and asked deliberately, "Dad hasn't come back yet, how could you have seen him?"

"Mom, I really saw Dad, Coco isn't lying to you."

Liu Yingying sighed, feeling helpless, thinking it was just a child's nonsense, and reached out to hide the photo frame.

But Coco held it tightly in her arms, not letting go, her clear, adorable eyes filled with helplessness.

Liu Yingying smiled bitterly. This was the plight of a child without a father, growing up filled with longing.

In her heart, her father was always a figure of fantasy, a silhouette in a photo, visible but untouchable.

Seeing this pained Liu Yingying, who could only blame everything on the man who made her grit her teeth in hatred.

Just as she was about to comfort little Coco, a commotion sounded outside...

Outside the door.

"Young Master Liu, you can't go in."

A well-dressed, pretty secretary in a LO outfit shouted at a young man.

The young man's name was Liu Yuan, the eldest young master of the Liu family in Liancheng, and also Liu Yingying's cousin.

The Liu family was a significant family in Liancheng, ranking in the top ten with assets in the billions.

Liu Yuan was a notorious playboy, skilled in all vices, and apart from pleasing the Liu family patriarch, he was nothing but a wastrel.

Seeing a mere secretary daring to stop him, Liu Yuan said angrily, "Get out of my way."

He pushed the secretary aside and barged into Liu Yingying's office.

Coco, seeing Liu Yuan, showed a frightened expression, instinctively shrinking back and hiding in the corner of the sofa.

Liu Yingying's expression changed upon seeing Liu Yuan, her brows furrowing as she said, "Liu Yuan, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yuan was in a good mood today because the Liu family patriarch had promised him that after the New Year, he would take over Liu Yingying's cosmetics company.

This was a company worth over a billion, and the thought of it falling into his hands made Liu Yuan excited.

So this time, he didn't speak harshly to Liu Yingying as usual, but instead smiled and said, "Liu Yingying, Grandpa said you must attend the family banquet this year."

He was smart enough not to mention the patriarch's decision to hand over the company to him in advance.

At the mention of the family banquet, Liu Yingying's face turned pale. She had no desire to return to that cold-hearted family, not even for a moment.
