“What do you mean outsiders? They are people from our family too. They just happen to be more distant.”
Ye Ling laughed. “So you’re telling me that I should pass the entire business in Golden City to the European side for them to handle?”
The old lady said, “The business in your hands is still business in your hands. You just hand it over to others to deal with it. The profit of the company is still your profit. Golden City is not your territory. It is not convenient for you to do things. The European family had been dealing with the matters in Golden City for so many years. In terms of qualifications and contacts, you are of no match to them. Even if you get the two ore mountains, you can’t do much with close to no connections with the people there. In South Africa, any business needs the cooperation of the local police. If not, you will not have many advantages. Do you get what I mean?”
The old lady looked sincere, and she seemed to be bearing with Ye Ling. This was the first time she was bringing up the topic to Ye Ling. It was hard to get anything from Ye Ling. If it did not benefit him, he would never agree.
“There is only one Ye Family in the entire world. The European branch is the main family, and we have to follow them in many businesses. We need their help. No matter what, a single tree does not make a forest. We need their help. You’re the eldest one, and this is all I have for you.”
Ye Ling laughed. “Grandma, I’m curious. What did you talk about with people from Ghost City yesterday? Or should I say… Who did you look for from Ghost City? You seem to be on very good terms with the people in Ghost City. I have known them for so long, but we come into very little contact. If you want the business in Golden City, no problem, I can give it to you. However, you have to agree with one thing. Give me contacts from Ghost City. How about that?”
The old lady’s facial expression changed drastically, and it looked bad. Her face really darkened a lot, and she squinted. She was really unhappy. “Elder one, I have no close relations to the people in Ghost City. Do not overthink.”
“Then there’s nothing for us to discuss.”
“Hold up. How did you know that I met people from Ghost City?”
“There are no such things as secrets in this world. No matter what, no one can hide everything. Even I am unable to do that. If you want to know anything, there’s always a way to find out with a little bit of effort. It’s nothing hard.” Ye Ling pushed his wheelchair away slowly. He was unwilling to continue with the conversation.
The old lady said, “Look at your stubborn self, you’re just like…”
Ye Ling retorted. “Watch your words!”
The old lady jumped in shock. She knew that the person was someone he hated terribly. He really hated his mother and everyone from the Ye Family. Back then, she should not have let him follow Luther. She felt that he was just a child who was incapable of causing any threat, but she did not realize that the child was raised to be a tiger. Now, she was being controlled by him.
Missed!
The old lady was extremely unhappy. “Elder one, you are our eldest grandson. Since the moment you entered the Ye Family, you are one of us. In the future, you will be in charge of AG. Yifan and Tingjun agree as well. Although I am biased to your second uncle, I just wish that he could survive well. I do not wish for ties to be severed. Listen to me. If you patch up with the European Ye Family, you will not lose out. It would be good for Tingjun as well. It would be easier for him to handle things. He really needs power for the European side.”
Ye Ling scoffed. “So this is all for Tingjun?”
“I am saying this for you three brothers and for your deceased father.”
Ye Ling clenched his fist, and his voice was really discontented. “What a joke. You have always thought that I killed them, huh?”
