At the Su household, the old patriarch held the Eight Steeds Picture, loving it too much to let it go. He respectfully helped Ye Ling to the seat of honor and then raised his hand to the crowd, saying, "This banquet is not only to celebrate my seventieth birthday, but I also plan to announce the candidate for the general manager of the Su Corporation!"
The old patriarch spoke in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the Su family members.
All the young members of the Su family excitedly gathered around Su Jun.
"The position of general manager is definitely Su Jun's, our eldest grandchild. Having served as the deputy general manager for a long time, his ability and experience are beyond reproach!" Su Ya winked, her face full of congratulatory expression.
"Hehe, I'm just trying to make a contribution to the Su Corporation." Su Jun smiled proudly, waving his hand to the others: "Don't worry, once I become the general manager, I will definitely promote all of you insiders."
"As for Su Rou and Ye Ling, these two outsiders, I will definitely drive them out of the Su Corporation!" Su Jun said coldly, a venomous look flashing in his eyes.
A mere son-in-law, daring to oppose him, the eldest grandson, was utterly ignorant of life and death!
Just then, the old patriarch bowed to Ye Ling, saying, "Mr. Ye, I plan to appoint you as the general manager of the Su Corporation!"
"What?" Everyone stunned, with wide eyes, they were speechless.
A son-in-law with the lowest status in the Su family was going to become the general manager of the Su Corporation.
Su Jun, in his urgency, jumped up and shouted, "Grandfather, why him? He is just a son-in-law, and I am your eldest grandson. How can this position be given to him?"
"Yes, grandfather, Ye Ling is just a powerless waste. If you promote him to general manager, our Su family will go bankrupt!" Su Ya huffed, unsatisfied, as several direct descendants of the Su family also showed dissatisfaction.
"What do you know!" The old patriarch's face darkened. He stood up, slamming the table, "Mr. Ye serving as the general manager is a blessing for our Su Corporation. There's no need to discuss this further. The matter is settled. Whoever dares to utter another word, do not blame me for enforcing family law and driving them out of the Su family!"
Everyone shook with anger, their eyes resentfully fixed on Ye Ling, but he seemed unconcerned, busying himself with picking up food.
"Mr. Ye, what do you think about this?" The old patriarch stooped to pour him wine.
Su Jun was so angry his eyes nearly burst, he, the eldest grandson, had never received such treatment, yet Ye Ling, a mere prospective son-in-law, dared to have the old patriarch pour wine for him, which was simply turn the world upside down.
Ye Ling took a sip of wine, then indifferently waved his hand, saying, "As you know, I'm not interested in this kind of thing."
"I was presumptuous, Mr. Ye. What kind of person are you to condescend to be the general manager of our Su Corporation?" The old patriarch showed a trace of shame on his face, wishing he could slap himself.
Mr. Ye was the Northern Liao King, after all, worldly wealth was nothing more than numbers to him.
He frowned as he scanned the young members of the Su family. Su Jun's face showed delight, and he exclaimed, "Haha, grandfather has finally come to his senses. Now he should realize that the position of general manager of the Su Corporation should be held by me..."
Before he could finish, he heard the old patriarch loudly declare, "The general manager of the Su Corporation will be Su Rou from now on; show her the same respect you show me!"
"Me, becoming the general manager?" Su Rou was bewildered, merely a granddaughter picked up by her grandfather. Her status within the Su family was not even comparable to collateral relatives, and now she was suddenly appointed as the general manager, it felt like a dream.
"No!" Su Jun vomited blood in anger, charging forward like a madman, and roaring, "Ye Ling, you bastard, it's all because you fed the old man some kind of witch's brew, I'm going to kill you, you bastard!"
He rushed forward with his teeth bared and claws out, only to be slapped fiercely back by the old man.
With a smack, witnessed by all the Su family members, Su Jun staggered to the ground, as disgraceful as a dog.
"Step back, you fool, who gave you the courage to raise your hand against Young Master Ye, get lost immediately, and if you dare to disrespect Young Master Ye again, I'll kick you out of the Su family!"
The old man spoke gravely, his gaze sweeping sternly across the Su family members, "Listen well, anyone who dares disrespect Young Master Ye in the future, I will not let them off!"
The Su family members, reluctant, bowed their heads, and gave Ye Ling a fist salute, "Don't worry, Old Master, we will definitely respect Young Master Ye."
After the banquet, Su Jun slammed the table in fury, "A son-in-law dares to shit on our necks, if we don't kick him out of the Su family, we won't have good days ahead!"
"Brother Jun, why don't we contact Young Master Chen, find an excuse to trick Su Rou to Kaihuang KTV? The boss there is a man from the Chen family, and then we can do whatever we want to that bitch Su Rou!" Su Ya said hatefully, her teeth clenched as if she wanted to devour someone.
"Good, I'll handle that," Su Jun nodded, then sneered, "Su Rou wants to be the general manager, right? I'll arrange for her to discuss a contract at Kaihuang. We'll send the company's bodyguards away, then have her call Ye Ling, and let her useless husband watch her being abused by Young Master Chen!"
"Ha ha, Cousin Jun is so clever, now they, as a couple, for fear of the scandal leaking, will have to serve us like dogs!" Su Ya laughed triumphantly, and immediately made a phone call to connect with Young Master Chen.
Meanwhile, Su Jun went to Su Rou's office, raising his hand, "Manager Su, our business partner has a billion-dollar deal they want to discuss with you at Kaihuang KTV."
"Kaihuang KTV, that kind of place?" Su Rou hesitated, she as a married woman, going to KTV to discuss a contract somehow didn't seem appropriate.
"Manager Su, this is a deal worth a billion, and we'll be there with you, no problem!" Su Jun urged eagerly.
"Alright, I'll call Ye Ling and tell him I'll be back late," Su Rou nodded and took out her phone, "Ye Ling, I have to go to Kaihuang again to discuss a contract with a client, Su Jun and his cousins are with me, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Su Jun?" Ye Ling felt a twinge of doubt, as Su Jun was the one who disliked their couple the most, why would he be so kind to act as a bodyguard for Su Rou.
He said nothing more, only telling Su Rou to be careful, then called Ye Jiu over to inquire.
"Help me check, is this Kaihuang KTV connected to the Chen family?"
Ye Jiu called his subordinates right away, then immediately nodded, "Sir, I have found out, the owner of Kaihuang KTV is Uncle Chen of the Chen family."
"As I suspected," Ye Ling nodded and his eyes flashed coldly, he waved his hand to Ye Jiu, "Let's go, we're heading to Kaihuang KTV immediately."
"Yes, sir!" Ye Jiu stood up abruptly, fire almost shooting from his eyes.
Chen Renjie, that trash, dared to lay hands on Mrs. Su Rou, he truly deserves to die!
