Almost overnight, the dramatic changes in Yunfeng Group spread throughout Liancheng City.

Especially the mysterious death of Xiao Jun, which was officially declared by Yunfeng Group as a result of depression and unbearable pressure, leading him to leap from the top of the company building, ending his young life.

However, the families in Liancheng speculated that Xiao Jun's death might be the result of corporate struggles.

But in Liancheng, who would dare to lay a hand on Xiao Jun, who had the backing of the Ye family?

Due to Yunfeng Group's information lockdown, many people were unaware of the true events that transpired inside yesterday.

They could only gather bits and pieces from rumors, while the rest remained shrouded in mystery, leaving everything to speculation.

This made many families feel a sense of crisis, like a dark cloud looming over Liancheng.

Especially the Chen family, who had been on edge ever since Xie Haisheng was taken down.

Now, as the year draws to a close, every faction is shocked by the upheaval at Yunfeng Group.

To Ye Feng, these messy affairs were nothing. Xiao Jun's death was deserved in his eyes.

The Ye family's power.

To him, it was something to be eradicated as soon as possible.

His target was not just the death of Ye Xianhai; his goal lay in the distant provincial capital.

That deep and secluded Ye family compound.

Some people there were even more deserving of death.

Ye Xianhai, a minor branch member, was merely a pawn for Ye Feng to make a statement.

Only the matriarch, Ye Xianru, Ye Xianhui, and others sitting high in the Ye family compound.

Their heads would be the only thing to ease Ye Feng's deep-seated hatred.

In Ye Feng's eyes, not even all their blood could bring back his mother's life.

These days, Ye Feng's time was not abundant; he needed to replan Yunfeng Group's development strategy for the coming years.

In the past year or two, without Ye Feng's previous planning, Yunfeng Group had gradually declined.

Now that Ye Feng was back in control, he naturally wanted to grow the company.

In Ye Feng's business vision, with Yunfeng Group's current advantages, developing into a trillion-yuan enterprise in the coming years was not a difficult task.

As Ye Feng was about to leave, Luo Yan came to his home, and upon seeing Ye Feng, she immediately smiled.

"Brother Feng, will you go out with me today?"

In her mind, Ye Feng had just returned and wasn't working yet, so he must have plenty of time.

Ye Feng helplessly spread his hands and said, "Xiao Yan, I really don't have time today."

"How about this, call Qiu Hong and go shopping."

"Brother Feng, what have you been up to these past two days? You haven't had any time."

"I've made appointments with friends to see if there's a good job for me."

Ye Feng didn't mention anything about Yunfeng Group to her.

After all, it was still a confidential stage, and he didn't want to reveal too much.

Upon hearing that Ye Feng was looking for a job, Luo Yan's face lit up with joy.

"Really?"

"Then you must work hard, Brother Feng."

In fact, over the past two days, she had heard a lot of gossip about Ye Feng from neighbors.

The most common was that Ye Feng had been in prison and had a criminal record, making it difficult for him to find a job.

Every time Luo Yan heard this, she felt indignant and wanted to speak up in defense.

But she felt powerless, as the others had reasonable arguments.

Besides, Ye Feng was indeed currently unemployed.

If Ye Feng's life could smoothly get back on track, Luo Yan would be genuinely happy for him.

"Really, when have I ever lied to you?"

Ye Feng showed a faint smile.

Ye Feng was always like this, treating those close to him with a smile.

For those familiar with Ye Feng, it was hard to imagine that people like Xie Haisheng and Ye Xianxian were almost all killed by him with a single blow.

"Brother Feng, you don't know, but when you came back, everyone was saying..."

"Alright, enough talk, let's go. People can say whatever they want; you can't sew their mouths shut, can you?"

With that, he walked towards the door.

Luo Yan hurriedly followed, weakly asking, "Brother Feng, do you really not care?"

"You little gossip, hurry up and get in the car."

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Ye Feng dodged the question, playfully scolded her, and got into the car.

Ye Feng drove the Lexus he got from Zheng Guozhong, speeding down the road.

Once in the city, he dropped Luo Yan off at Liancheng Mall, telling her to wait for Qiu Hong there.

Ye Feng then headed straight to Yunfeng Tower.

The security guards outside had been replaced, not the same faces as yesterday.

Zheng Guozhong must have temporarily reassigned them from somewhere, and the previous guards were likely dismissed.

The Lexus Ye Feng drove wasn't considered a luxury car and didn't attract attention. Ye Feng simply mentioned Zheng Guozhong's name.

They didn't even ask Ye Feng to leave any information.

After parking the car, Ye Feng took a dedicated elevator to the top floor.

This elevator was previously reserved for Xiao Jun, and no employees were allowed to use it.

"Chairman Ye!"

"Chairman Ye!"

As soon as he arrived at the office, Zheng Guozhong and Li Song, who were waiting at the door, greeted him in unison.

Their suits were immaculate, and they looked full of energy and delight.

"Chairman Ye, it's a good thing you came yesterday; otherwise, I wouldn't have known what to do."

Li Song was still shocked by the events of the previous day.

Because he had confronted Xiao Jun, he was dragged outside by the Ye family's thugs, and someone was about to attack him.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Feng arrived at the company and saved him.

"Old Li, you're a brave man, commendable courage."

Ye Feng praised him.

Li Song wasn't very old, about the same age as Zheng Guozhong, in his early thirties, just slightly older than Ye Feng.

He was also one of the founding members who started the business with Ye Feng back in the day, and Ye Feng had always called him Old Li.

Hearing this, Zheng Guozhong also gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Old Li, to be honest, if I weren't following Chairman Ye, I wouldn't have had your courage."

Li Song smiled awkwardly and said, "Even if it killed me, I wouldn't have agreed to Xiao Jun's reform plan. At that moment, I was so fired up, I didn't care about anything else."

"Alright, enough talk, let's go inside."

Ye Feng led the way into the office.

This chairman's office was originally Xiao Jun's.

Spacious and bright, it was luxuriously decorated, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Standing in front of the window, one could overlook most of the bustling commercial district, a magnificent view.

It was like a king standing in mid-air, overlooking all of Liancheng, giving a sense of supremacy.

Ye Feng glanced around; although the decor was lavish, it didn't suit his taste.

Zheng Guozhong, a seasoned businessman, was adept at reading people and immediately understood Ye Feng's thoughts.

"Chairman Ye, I'll arrange for someone to come and redecorate this place in a few days. You can decide on the style then."

Ye Feng nodded; it was necessary to change it since everything here belonged to Xiao Jun before.

Just looking at it made him uncomfortable, so it had to be replaced.

"Alright, sit down, and let's discuss the company's plan for next year."

.......

At that moment, downstairs, a business car drove into Yunfeng Group, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the secretary named Xuanxuan, who worked for Liu Yingying.
