"From what I've gathered, Yichen Investment Company currently has just pure capital—a total of ten billion in funds—but they haven't invested in any projects yet.

They've just been established and are at the point where they're ready to spread a lot of money around. Whoever gets their investment will certainly land a big sum of money!" Ye Jianfei said with excitement.

"What?"

"They haven't invested in a single project?!"

"This, this, this... This is indeed a golden opportunity!"

"Right, we must secure the first investment from Yichen. The first investment is bound to be the largest!"

"Secure it, we must secure it!"

The members of the Ye Family were red-eyed and shouting loudly.

"Family Head, let us go!"

Suddenly, from the corner, Ye Jianchang's eyes lit up, and he stood up shouting loudly.

Ye Jianzhong glanced at Ye Jianchang with a trace of contempt in his eyes and spoke indifferently, "You? You think I would let two fellows, who were kicked out of the Ye Family in Jinhai, handle such an important matter?"

"Exactly, someone who couldn't even keep the position of Family Head of a collateral branch still wants to negotiate such an important investment—it's a pipe dream!"

The other Ye Family members also sneered.

Ye Jianchang's face changed, and he pursed his lips, unsure of how to retort.

"Family Head, you can't say it like that."

However, Tian Ming saw an opportunity and stood up to speak loudly, "Back in Jinhai, we managed to attract investment from The Four Seas Group, but unfortunately, that stinking bitch Ye Jingyi and a son-in-law, who joined forces with the Sun Family, framed us, causing even grandfather to lose trust in us. That's why we were driven out of the family.

Not only were we expelled, but the investment we attracted from The Four Seas Group was credited to that son-in-law!

If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have fallen to our current state.

However, our ability to bring The Four Seas' investment to Jinhai proves our capacity. Therefore, we can certainly secure investment from Yichen Company in Dingjing.

Please trust in us, Family Head!"

At this point, Ye Jianfeng, a clan cousin on good terms with Ye Jianchang, stood up and spoke out for the father and son, "Yes, Family Head, let Jianchang and Tian Ming have a try. They were able to attract investment from The Four Seas with just the background of that small branch in Jinhai, so now with the support of our family's headquarters, securing investment from Yichen Company should be no problem!"

Ye Jianfeng knew that with his status in the Ye Family, he would never get such an opportunity, so he thought of giving Ye Jianchang a push. If Ye Jianchang succeeded, he would also be able to bask in the reflected glory.

Ye Jianzhong pondered upon hearing this.

The other Ye Family members gave Ye Jianchang and his son a look, considering fighting for the opportunity, but after some thought, they realized that Ye Jianchang had after all once been the head of a family, and they didn't seem to have any great achievements to match the feat of attracting investment from The Four Seas. Disheartened, they closed their mouths.

"Fine, go and give it a try!"

After some thought, Ye Jianzhong nodded and said, "If you can negotiate an investment project, and as long as it's big enough, our main family will assist you in returning to the Ye Family in Jinhai and leave the branch in Jinhai under the management of you, Ye Jianchang."

"Great! Thank you, Family Head!" Ye Jianchang's eyes shone, and he nodded emphatically.

All the members of the Ye Family looked at Ye Jianchang with envy; in their eyes, this trip to negotiate with Yichen seemed almost certain to secure a project.

There are only so many great families in Dingjing, and although the Ye Family isn't the strongest, it's still first-rate. Given that Yichen Investment Company has settled in Dingjing, they must be aware of the local families. Considering the status of the Ye Family in Dingjing, attracting an investment shouldn't be a difficult task!

"That's right!" Ye Jianzhong had another thought and spoke again, "When you go, take some of the younger ones with you. It'll be a good opportunity to show them the ropes and let them learn something."

Ye Jianchang promptly agreed, "Sure, Family Head, I'll make sure to take good care of them."

Bringing along the younger generation could enhance his own prestige, so Ye Jianchang was certainly willing to accept this task. Moreover, he was convinced that with the Ye Family's strength, securing the investment would be like a fish taking to water.

Yè Tiānmíng was so excited when he saw Yè Jianzhong agreed and even promised to help him and his son return to the Yè Family in Jinhai that he almost jumped for joy.

"Haha, Jiang Chen, Yè Yùwǎn, just wait until I come back and see how I'm going to deal with you!"

...

The morning sunshine streamed through the curtains onto Jiang Chen's face, waking him up.

While he was washing up, there was a knock at the door. Jiang Chen quickly rinsed his mouth and, wiping his face with a towel, quickly walked to the door and opened it.

"You're up? I was just thinking of calling you," Gong Lin said with a light laugh as she stood at the door.

"I'm good, are you done with washing up?" Jiang Chen asked with a slight smile.

Gong Lin nodded gently.

"Alright, then let's go," Jiang Chen said as he turned, closing the door behind him.

The two of them had agreed to visit the new office space at Yichen today; the company had already started up, and it was time for the leading figures of the two companies to make an appearance.

After leaving his home, Jiang Chen drove Gong Lin to the Yichen Company.

"Jiang Chen, do you really want to leave this company in my hands?" Gong Lin asked for confirmation as they drove.

Jiang Chen smiled; "Yes, you know my personality. I can't possibly sit in the office all day sorting out paperwork, so please help me out."

"Alright, I suppose I'll reluctantly help you out," Gong Lin said playfully.

"Heh, you can do it, I believe in you."

"Giggle, then I shall accept your thanks."

The two exchanged glances and both laughed. Gong Lin felt an immense sweetness in her heart.

Yichen Investment was located right in the middle of Dingjing's busiest financial district.

At the moment, all the senior executives of the company had gathered at the plaza in front of the office building. Everyone was aware that the President and Chairman of the company were visiting today, and each of them was dressed sharply, ready to welcome the two leaders.

"Hey, I heard that our company's Chairman and President are both young people!"

"Really? Which family has the guts to give their offspring a hundred billion to practice with?"

"What practice? Maybe they're just capable!"

"Yeah, let's hope these two leaders are easy to get along with!"

The group of executives chattered amongst themselves, their eyes never leaving the entrance of the plaza. A middle-aged man standing in front of them turned around to look, and the executives immediately fell silent.

This middle-aged man was sent by Elder Master Jiang to assist Jiang Chen and his partner. A company as big as this, even if truly handed over to them, needed someone who could hold authority.

The sound of braking was heard, and a car stopped at the plaza entrance.

"Hello, please register," the security guard at the entrance said politely.

The passenger door opened, and Gong Lin stepped out of the car.

"Hello, I am..."

"President!" Gong Lin didn't finish her sentence before a shout erupted, and the middle-aged man leading the Yichen company's executives walked over to Gong Lin.
