X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 257 - 252: Mr. Fei Lao

"Ye Tian, do you know?" Bai Lan turned her head to look.

Yun Xinyan was also somewhat surprised. Ye Tian never involved himself in company matters. Even though he was the head of the security department, he only issued orders occasionally. Regarding the company’s major decisions and other matters, Ye Tian had hardly ever inquired.

But now, at a time when nobody knew what was going on, Ye Tian actually stepped forward, which was indeed surprising to Yun Xinyan. Moreover, by the look of him, it seemed he had known all along but had simply concealed it without saying anything.

"I didn’t mean to hide it from you intentionally, don’t overthink it," Ye Tian explained simply and then said, "Actually, refusing to sign the contract was not the original intention of those provincial officials; they were being instructed by others."

"Instructed by others?" Bai Lan and Yun Xinyan were shocked at once.

This simple statement from Ye Tian allowed them to see the manipulation behind the scenes.

"Yes, they were being instructed by others," Ye Tian continued, "Yun Corporation is the most outstanding enterprise in Jiangcheng. Apart from our Yun Corporation, they can’t find a better partner in the entire Jiangcheng. Those old folks from the province certainly know this."

"If that’s the case, why would they still want to break the contract?" Bai Lan asked.

Yun Xinyan sighed; she didn’t need to listen any further to understand. There definitely was a reason behind the other party’s actions. On the business battlefield, everything revolved around interests. They must be acting for their own benefit.

"As I said before, they were being instructed," Ye Tian stated.

"By whom were they instructed?" Bai Lan asked.

Ye Tian shook his head, "This is also what I am considering. I don’t know yet. However, we could ask someone who might know."

"Ask who?" Bai Lan questioned further.

Ye Tian smiled without a word. Yun Xinyan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, having understood what Ye Tian meant.

"Let’s go, to the restaurant," Yun Xinyan said as she headed downstairs.

"The lady boss is indeed smart, hitting the nail on the head," Ye Tian thought to himself, following Yun Xinyan downstairs. Bai Lan was still in the dark, not understanding what they were planning to do until they returned to the restaurant.

The corporate restaurant.

Yun Xinyan returned with a smile and quietly took her seat again. However, to Bald Wang, her smile seemed to carry a hint of helplessness and loss. After all, it was a project worth several hundred million yuan. Losing it so suddenly would make anyone feel dejected.

"Are you satisfied with this meal, Mr. Wang?" Yun Xinyan asked with a smile.

"Satisfied, of course," Bald Wang beamed with joy, speaking truthfully, "I can tell that President Yun is a straightforward person. So, I won’t keep secrets. Honestly, I didn’t expect you to be so welcoming. I even prepared myself to be scolded, considering it was our company that breached the contract. And yet, you treated me so kindly; I really feel quite embarrassed."

"Business might not succeed, but goodwill remains. That’s always been the way of Yun Corporation; it’s what we ought to do," Yun Xinyan replied.

"The more polite you are, President Yun, the more embarrassed I feel," Wang Qingshan sighed, "Let me give you the inside story. Without your corporation joining in, this project simply can’t succeed."

Ye Tian smiled slightly, knowing Bald Wang had let down his guard and would soon reveal everything he knew. Then, he would learn what he wanted to know.

Hearing Wang Qingshan’s words, Yun Xinyan showed a puzzled expression and asked, "If that is the case, why would your company still want to break the contract? I really don’t understand this."

Wang Qingshan hesitated for a moment, looked at his young colleague, pondered for a while, and finally decided to speak.

He said, "Since President Yun has asked, I won’t hide it from you. The company’s board of directors is also under a lot of pressure. Jiangcheng is not like the provincial capital; no matter the size of our company, there are some entities we simply can’t afford to provoke. If we don’t do as they say, the entire company could be in danger."

Yun Xinyan immediately asked, "Who exactly is making things difficult for our corporation? Please, Mr. Wang, be frank. I won’t let you speak in vain."

Everyone was an old hand in the business world; Yun Xinyan’s words couldn’t have been clearer. As long as you reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, President Yun would certainly reward you handsomely, a gift that was sure to be in the six figures.

"I understand what you mean, President Yun, but even if you ask, it’s in vain. I’m simply out of reach with such a high and mighty presence," Wang Qingshan said, "Not to mention that I truly don’t know, even if I did, I wouldn’t dare to say. Isn’t that a fair point?"

Yun Xinyan immediately frowned.

She could tell that Wang Qingshan wasn’t lying; he really didn’t know the mastermind behind the scenes.

Sighing, she turned her head to glance at Ye Tian, seeing that he seemed unconcerned, as if indifferent, and yet also as if he had a well-thought-out plan. He really was inscrutable.

From what Bald Wang said, it was clear that everything Ye Tian had mentioned was completely true.

It seemed that someone in the provincial city really had an issue with Yun Corporation, and although Yun Xinyan couldn’t figure out who it was yet, she believed that sooner or later they would meet face to face.

Since its inception, Yun Corporation had been through continuous ups and downs. Yun Xinyan had struggled to keep it afloat by herself, and now that the company had grown so big, the sudden appearance of a formidable enemy was truly worrying and threatened the future.

Yun Xinyan felt as though she saw a huge mountain, pressing down on the corporation’s head, making it impossible to rise again; they could only wait silently for death.

The meal had reached this stage and was coming to an end. Old Wang had said all he could, and Yun Xinyan had nothing else to ask. Even if she did, he wouldn’t know the answers.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Chen, continue dining with Mr. Wang. Then take Mr. Wang around the city for a tour—all expenses will be covered by the company," Yun Xinyan promptly arranged before standing up and saying, "Mr. Wang, if you’ll excuse me. There’s a lot I have to take care of. Take your time and enjoy your meal, no need to be polite."

She smiled slightly and confidently left the restaurant with Bai Lan and other close generals.

"Ms. Yun, please wait!" Mr. Wang suddenly stood up.

Yun Xinyan stopped and turned to ask, "Does Mr. Wang have anything else to mention?"

Bald Wang said kindly, "Ms. Yun, since I think highly of you, I’ll give you a tip. If you want to pursue the contract, why not take a trip to the province to seek Old Fei’s blessing? As long as Old Fei nods, there’s still a chance to turn this around."

"Old Fei? Are you referring to the founder of Xuanwu Group, Mr. Fei Yusong?" Yun Xinyan asked, full of reverence for the name; Old Fei was a renowned business tycoon in the province.

"So you know about Old Fei. Well, the rest is up to you. That’s all I can remind you of," Bald Wang said.

Yun Xinyan was very grateful for Bald Wang’s kind advice. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would not give up.

"Finance, prepare a generous red envelope for Mr. Wang and his colleagues. From now on, all expenses of Mr. Wang’s family members who visit Jiang City will be covered by the company," Yun Xinyan instructed on the spot.

Bald Wang’s eyes shone; the strong-willed woman had not disappointed him. If she could really persuade Old Fei and save the benevolent project, not only would both companies profit, but he would also earn immense merit.

Yun Xinyan led her entourage out of the restaurant and headed straight back to the corporation’s headquarters. She immediately called for an emergency meeting, which had a straightforward agenda—to collect detailed information about Old Fei, including his hobbies and interests, his family members’ interests, even down to his preferred brand of toothpaste; these became the focus of the employees’ work.

Having fought in the business world for many years, Yun Xinyan understood well that to succeed in some matters, one had to encounter key individuals. If you could win over a key person, all problems would be solved.

Without a doubt, Old Fei was that key person.

"Tell the motorcade to be on standby. As soon as we have a plan to convince Old Fei, we’ll set off for the provincial city immediately. This matter cannot tolerate any delay," Yun Xinyan commanded decisively.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone take action! Use all connections at your disposal to dig out detailed information about Old Fei. Don’t skimp on the phone bills—if this matter is handled, the company will reimburse you double," Bai Lan urged his subordinates nonstop.

To gather information about Old Fei, the entire Yun Corporation was in an uproar; every staff member, men and women alike, were making phone calls. They didn’t just reach out to family members—they also contacted old classmates who hadn’t been in touch for years, new friends from training classes, and buddies from driving school. The first thing they said when the call connected was, "Have you heard of Old Fei? You know, Fei Yusong from the provincial city."

In front of the corporation’s floor-to-ceiling windows, Yun Xinyan looked out at the beautiful scenery of Jiang City, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Every day that the project isn’t signed, the corporation loses a six-figure sum; ten days without a contract, and the losses amount to millions!" Yun Xinyan sighed inwardly, "No matter what, I must secure this project! The contract must be signed!"

Not to mention the daily terror of interest on bank loans; though Yun Corporation was quite wealthy, it couldn’t endure such wastage.

This project was something Yun Xinyan was determined to win!

Ye Tian’s security department was also mobilized, but Ye Tian himself wasn’t involved. Instead, he sat in his office smoking, his brows furrowed as if he was dealing with something troubling.

"Damn it, I really need to make a trip to Miaojiang after this, keeping this thing in my body isn’t the solution; I must find a way to get rid of it," he muttered while smoking, his face looking rather grim.

Just now, the Golden Silkworm Gu inside him had wriggled again—more noticeable than before. He could easily feel the Gu turn over in his body.

Thinking of the disgusting parasite within, Ye Tian felt annoyed and nauseated. If there were a way to remove it, he would have done so already.

Ye Tian didn’t know how many times the Gu had wriggled, but judging from the frequency, it wouldn’t be long before it fully awakened. By then, it would start gnawing on Ye Tian’s flesh and breeding wildly inside him.

"Damn it, once I deal with Wang Qingshan, I must make a trip to Miaojiang and find a way to remove this vermin," Ye Tian stubbed out his cigarette and resolved to visit Miaojiang sooner or later.
