My Perfect Female CEO

Li Chenggui, Zheng Zhonghai, Chen Tiande, Huang Jingwei, and Ma Qianqiu have arrived.

Also, the five eldest sons from each of the five great families—Li Yang, Zheng Junxian, Chen Xiangsheng, Huang Feipeng, and Ma Junqing—have come.

A group of people drove luxury cars to the doorstep, causing quite a stir among the crowd.

"Who are these people?"

"It seems each one has a very prominent background!"

"I’ve seen them in magazines; they’re the five great families of the Northwest business community."

"My goodness, they’ve all come together, what’s going on?"

"Are they all here because of Ye Fan?"

"No way, Ye Fan doesn’t have that kind of influence. They must be here for President Chu instead."

"Even President Chu wouldn’t have the face to invite the leaders of the five families to all show up, wouldn’t he?"

"The Chu Group is big, but not as wealthy as the five families, is it?"

"It’s too strange, why would the five great families all appear together to offer congratulations?"

"Moreover, they’ve brought their sons, possibly the successors of their families, which makes it a significant occasion."

"I don’t understand, truly baffling."

The crowd was stunned, with questions flooding their minds that they couldn’t figure out, not understanding what the situation was.

In fact, the current five great families no longer hold such an unattainable image in people’s minds.

The Chu Group has already dominated the Northwest business world, and the five great families have become vassals of the Chu Group, showing how powerful the Chu Group is. But this information is known only to the upper echelons of society, and the families of the five great families are well aware that in front of Ye Fan and Chu Biyao, they are nothing.

After Li Erye’s death, the pride and glory of the five great families died with him.

Now, the leaders and their descendants of the five great families have come to visit to curry favor with Ye Fan. They know the opportunity to win Ye Fan’s favor is rare, so at this moment, they are here to lend Ye Qingping’s family plenty of face, indirectly flattering Ye Fan.

They fear they might not qualify to attend Ye Fan and Mengyao’s engagement ceremony, so such a great opportunity for flattery would not be missed. Even if they can get Ye Fan to look favorably at them just slightly, their efforts will not have been in vain.

If their feelings towards Mengyao were of apprehension, then towards Ye Fan, it is pure fear.

The crowd present did not have the privilege to know the current plight of the five great families; thus, seeing the leaders of the five families appear, they naturally were shocked. In their minds, anyone from the five families is a terrifying existence comparable to the Chu Group, so how could they not be amazed?

Li Chenggui and the others led, while Li Yang and the others followed behind carrying gifts.

At this moment, Li Chenggui and the others, having endured the death of Zheng Guodong, the discord between the five families and heavy losses, now no longer exhibit any arrogance, each being rather cautious and honest.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the group walked into Ye Qingping’s house.

"Chairman Zheng, hello, my son works as a project manager in the Zheng Family Business. I’m quite familiar with you; what wind brought you here? The old Ye family is truly honored by your presence," Aunt Wu stepped forward, smiling broadly. Her son works at the Zheng Family Business, so she naturally knows the leader of the Zheng family well.

"Hello, and you are?" Zheng Zhonghai paused slightly, holding an inquisitive expression.

This is Ye Qingping’s home, also Ye Fan’s family, so he naturally has to give face to everyone present, thereby gifting Ye Qingping’s family some face, not daring to offend anyone. Yet the discontent in his heart had already arisen.

"What a lack of insight; I’m here to present gifts, indirectly currying favor with Ye Fan. This comes from my shamelessness. You say the old Ye family’s honored by my arrival? It’s smoke rising from my ancestral grave instead. What qualification do I have to be considered noteworthy by the Ye family? Saying this, aren’t you setting me up? If it weren’t for this special occasion, I’d ignore you. I would certainly make you understand the consequences of causing trouble for me," Zheng Zhonghai looked at Aunt Wu, with very sharp displeasure in his heart.

After the family upheaval, it wasn’t easy for Zheng Zhonghai to reach his current status.

Ye Fan killed Zheng Guodong; instead of hatred, Zheng Zhonghai felt a sense of gratitude towards Ye Fan. It is precisely because of Ye Fan that he could rise to power in the Zheng family; otherwise, he would be nothing.

It’s from this standpoint that he both fears and respects Ye Fan.

Having patiently listened to a few of Aunt Wu’s words, his interest vanished. Aunt Wu’s son is merely a small manager in the expansive business of the Zheng family, a role among many, and it’s something Zheng Zhonghai couldn’t bring himself to care about.

Li Chenggui, Chen Tiande, Huang Jingwei, and Ma Qianqiu also looked at Aunt Wu with displeasure. The idea that their visit brings honor to the old Ye family – how is that possible?

They are here thick-skinned; it’s a privilege beyond their desires.

For Aunt Wu to say so, isn’t it causing them trouble?

How could they not bear grudges?

"You should be careful with your words; given this special occasion, we disregard your ignorance. If you continue spouting nonsense, beware. In your eyes, your son might seem highly capable, but in ours, he’s just a small fry, daring to belittle the old Ye family – seems like you don’t value your life," Zheng Zhonghai said, showing anger and lowering his voice.

Now, he could see that Aunt Wu wasn’t on good terms with the Ye family, so he didn’t hold back.

But he still showed politeness; to a small fry, he couldn’t be overtly rude and merely issued a warning.

Aunt Wu suddenly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant.

She slunk away, her heart pounding wildly.

"Don’t start trouble if you don’t want trouble; am I not inviting disaster for my son by doing this? How could I be so foolish?" Aunt Wu, pale-faced, felt her heart thumping like a drum.

She shivered in thought: "How did Ye Fan become so capable and formidable? Why is this? To make the leaders of the five great families mention his name as if he’s revered like a god, what for?"

Her eyes cunningly discerned, from the brief interaction earlier, she saw the fear towards Ye Fan in the eyes of the leaders of the five great families, which made her feel her heart trembling.

"I foolishly spoke ill of Ye Fan, attacking Ye Qingping’s family—isn’t this courting death?" Aunt Wu wished she could slap herself a few times.
