Mansion Nine.

"Acheng, why did you stop me just now?" Wan Tianyuan said with a gloomy face, sitting on the sofa in the private room. At this time, there were only Wan and his son and Miyagi in the whole private room. Wan Feng was sitting on the sofa covering his face. Corner was silent, seeming to still be complaining about Wan Tianyuan's slap in the face.

"Uncle Yuan, something is obviously wrong with the situation today. It's not that the other party doesn't know your identity, but they still dare to be so domineering. They must have something to rely on. It's really unwise to have a conflict at this time. The capital has been a place where winds and water gather since ancient times. , it’s not an exaggeration to say it’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, we don’t know anything about the other party, and once we make a mistake, it’s really not worth the loss.” Miyagi analyzed.

"Beast, do you know who you have offended?" Wan Tianyuan shouted at Wan Feng.

"Times Media has been gaining momentum recently. I saw that the person in charge was a woman, so I just wanted to scare her. I didn't want to do anything to her." Wan Feng said with a dull head.

"Who can work in the entertainment industry without some power behind them? You dare to come and threaten people without knowing the situation clearly. I think you are becoming more and more brainless as you live." Wan Tianyuan cursed.

"Aren't I anxious too? Times Media has a lot of A-list celebrities in Hong Kong, and its resources are incredible. All the artists under the company want to jump in and get a piece of the pie," Wan Feng said.

"I've told you many times that the entertainment industry is too deep and returning to industry is the right path. But you just like the entertainment industry and have sex with those third-tier actresses every day. Sooner or later, I will fall for you. Die from exhaustion." Wan Tianyuan cursed.

"This business is still very profitable if you do it well." Wan Feng said harshly.

"Without the group's blood transfusion for Lehua these years, you don't know how many times it has gone bankrupt. From today on, you go home and stay with me for a while to avoid the limelight. You don't have to worry about the company's affairs." Wan Tianyuan snorted coldly.

"Dad, isn't this thing over? I just don't have to go to Times Media to cause trouble in the future." Wan Feng rushed to say.

"You still want to cause trouble for others, and you don't know whether to live or die. If Acheng hadn't notified me in time today, you would have died without knowing how." Wan Tianyuan said solemnly.

"Okay, I listen to you." Wan Feng said.

"Acheng, can you find a way to find out who Ye Fang is so that I can have a countermeasure in advance. I always feel that this matter is not over yet." Wan Tianyuan said.

"Okay, I know, I will take care of this matter tomorrow." Miyagi replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Wan Tianyuan said.

The next morning, as soon as Miyagi came out of Mansion No. [-] and wanted to go home to rest, he saw a black business car parked at the door, and one person got out of the car. Miyagi recognized this person at a glance as the person who followed Ye Fang to the mansion last night. Miyagi frowned. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse. The only thing he was sure of was that this person came to see him.

"Our boss wants to see you." Leng Chuan said as he made an inviting gesture.

Although Miyagi didn't know why Ye Fang wanted to see him, he couldn't say no until the current situation, so he nodded and agreed, and then got in the car.

From the outside, Miyagi is very beautiful. At best, he is called Boss Miyagi, but at worst, he is actually the lobby manager of the nightclub. Such a person is no different from a slave in the eyes of the rich. After all, Miyagi This is what I do. From this point of view, Miyagi and Zhao An are somewhat similar. The difference is that Zhao An faces all business owners, while Miyagi faces everyone from all walks of life. To put it bluntly, in terms of decency, Miyagi and Zhao An can't do anything. Compare.

Miyagi originally thought that he would be dragged to some high-rise building, but he did not expect to go directly to a courtyard on the west side of the Forbidden City. The word "Xiyuan" was written on the door of the courtyard.

"Xiyuan!" Miyagi vaguely remembered that someone who had been to No. [-] Mansion mentioned this place. It is a high-end membership-only club. Although it is not as big as Chang'an Club in terms of history and area, you can go to Xiyuan to eat. Everyone is either rich or noble.

"Is this Ye Fang also a member of Xiyuan, so he arranged to meet here." Miyagi followed Leng Chuan's footsteps and just entered Xiyuan. When he looked up, he saw the inscription "The No. [-] Garden in the Capital". When he saw the signature, his heart suddenly changed. Startled.

Leng Chuan led Miyagi through the front hall, passed through several courtyards and arrived at the inner courtyard. Seeing this posture, Miyagi immediately understood that Ye Fang was not a member of Xiyuan, but the boss of Xiyuan.

Thinking of this, Miyagi's heart immediately shuddered, and he followed Leng Chuan directly to the pavilion in the middle of the inner courtyard, where Ye Fang was having breakfast.

"Brother Ye, we're here." Leng Chuan said and then retreated, leaving only Miyagi standing in front of Ye Fang.

Ye Fang looked up at Miyagi and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Oh, not yet... I just got off work and haven't had time to eat yet." Miyagi said truthfully.

"Let's sit down and eat together." Ye Fang then asked Aunt Yun to add a pair of bowls, chopsticks and some food.

"Sit down." Ye Fang said to Miyagi with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye." Miyagi said, taking two steps and sitting opposite Ye Fang.

Miyagi originally thought that Ye Fang would chat with him while eating, but obviously he was wrong. Ye Fang and he really just had breakfast. This was probably the most uneasy breakfast that Miyagi had ever eaten. After eating, Aunt Yun removed everyone's tableware and brought tea to the two of them. Miyagi habitually played the role of serving tea and water. Ye Fang didn't say anything and allowed Miyagi to serve him.

"My garden needs a manager, and I want to leave it to you." Ye Fang said directly without any warning.

Hearing Ye Fang's words, Miyagi almost lost his grip on the teapot in his hand. Miyagi calmed down a little and said, "Mr. Ye and I didn't speak more than three sentences in total. Why do you think I can take care of it?" Where is this garden?”

"My garden has been in need of someone like you since..." Ye Fang paused, and then continued, "Since last year, I have been missing someone like you. I have been looking for it, but I haven't found the right one. Until I saw you yesterday, I thought you were better. Suitable."

"You think too highly of me." Miyagi smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "To put it nicely, I am the person in charge of Mansion No. [-], and to put it badly, I am just the lobby manager. Until I can reach your level, The people who come to eat in the garden are all rich or noble, so I'm afraid I won't be qualified."

"Whether you are qualified or not, you will know after doing it. I want to know now, are you willing to come?" Ye Fang asked directly.

"Well..." Miyagi glanced at the surroundings out of habit, and said after a moment of thought, "Of course I am willing, but I...the boss behind me may not let me go."

"The owner of Mansion No. [-]?" Ye Fang said nonchalantly, "Just tell me who he is, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Ye, I can't say this, I really can't say it." Miyagi looked embarrassed.

"Is there anything you can't say? Does this boss have a special status, or is it inconvenient to appear in public? You can say it directly with me, and no one else will know that it was you who said it. You said it, if I can't offend this boss , just pretend that this incident never happened, and you can go back to Mansion No. [-] and be your lobby manager. If you say so, and by chance I can say a few words to him, you can stay in Xiyuan. I know You don’t want to just be a lobby manager your whole life, do you?” Ye Fang asked with a relaxed look.

Miyagi's eyes flickered, and he was obviously having a fierce ideological struggle. On the one hand, he was worried that the boss behind No. [-] Mansion would not let him go. On the other hand, Miyagi was indeed very moved by Ye Fang's proposal. Just because of Xiyuan's current reputation in the business world. Status, if you can manage Xiyuan, your social status will skyrocket, and Miyagi will no longer be an ordinary lobby manager.

"Okay, I'll say it." Miyagi then told Ye Fang the information about the boss behind Mansion No. [-]. After hearing it, Ye Fang frowned and finally understood why Mansion No. [-] was able to rise to the capital in such a short period of time. It turns out that the character "Nine" in Mansion No. [-] has a special meaning, representing nine people and the forces of the nine directions.

These nine people are actually an interest group composed of nine second-generation officials, second-generation rich people, and even second-generation red people in the capital. This nine-person interest group includes the children of housekeepers from various key departments in the capital, and is headed by the second-generation officials. Open up all government departments to ensure that the operation of No. [-] Mansion is not restricted. In other words, they can be informed in advance when there is an inspection to ensure that Mansion No. [-] is operating as usual, and the rich second generation is responsible for paying, and the subsequent profits will be shared equally by each family.

Four of the eight out of the nine people are the second or third generation officials, and the other four are the second or third generation rich people. The eight people have a clear division of labor, work in unison, and have extremely clear goals. Whether these eight people contribute money or effort, all are negotiated. None of them participate in the management, but they all obey the instructions of the ninth person. In fact, this ninth person is the real boss behind Mansion No. [-], but This person never showed up, and all orders were implemented through Miyagi.

Since its opening more than half a year ago, No. [-] Mansion has become the number one best-selling nightclub in Beijing, especially after the closure of [-] Supreme. Its daily revenue is even worse than that of [-] Supreme. Fortunately, there is no such thing as forcing girls into prostitution or raising thugs in Mansion No. [-]. These people really treat this as a business, but because the people behind Mansion No. [-] are all invisible due to their special status, there are almost no people in the capital. Know who the real boss behind Mansion No. [-] is.

"Have you seen all these eight people?" Ye Fang asked.

Miyagi shook his head and said, "No, I just heard the boss mention it."

Ye Fang nodded and said, "Let's talk about this ninth person. I want to know who is the boss behind Mansion No. [-]!"

Miyagi glanced at Ye Fang cautiously and whispered, "The boss of Mansion No. [-] has the same surname as you, and his surname is also Ye!"

After Miyagi finished saying these words, he clearly felt a sharp gaze coming directly from Ye Fang, which frightened Miyagi. He did not expect that Ye Fang, whose emotions were changing, could actually give people such a sense of oppression. .

"Go on, what's your name?" Ye Fang's face gradually turned gloomy.

"His name is Ye Chengan. According to him, he is from the Ye family in the capital and is very powerful!" Miyagi lowered his head and said.

Hearing Miyagi's words, Ye Fang suddenly stood up from his seat, looked at Miyagi and asked, "Are you sure he is from the Ye family in Beijing?"

"That's what he said. There are too many things that I don't know about. I've only met him once. The rest of the time, I contacted him through phone calls." Miyagi felt that beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead and his back was already wet. Totally soaked.

Ye Cheng'an, first of all, Ye Fang has never heard of this person. In fact, Ye Fang doesn't know any of the three generations of current Ye family descendants. Aunt Ying has never told him, and he has never asked. If Miyagi is right and this Ye Chengan is really from the Ye family, then whose child is he? During the chat with Zhang Xiuying, Ye Fang learned that the eldest of the second generation of the Ye family, Ye Youli, has no descendants. The second eldest, Ye Youzhi, is said to have a son and a daughter, and the third eldest, Ye Youxin, has a son. However, the specific names of these people are What, Ye Fang didn't know.

Ye Fang paced back and forth in the stone pavilion. If he wanted to know whose son this Ye Chengan was, Ye Fang could only ask Zhang Xiuying.

"Wait for me here. I'll come back as soon as I go." Ye Fang said this and went straight to Zhang Xiuying's room. Half an hour later, Ye Fang returned to Shiting with a frown on his face and saw Miyagi still standing respectfully. It seemed like it hadn't moved at all for half an hour.

"Go back first, and don't mention anything about meeting me to anyone." Ye Fang said in a deep voice.

"I understand." Miyagi replied.

"Everything will be as usual after you go back, but try to find a way to give me the information on the other eight people. I will handle the matter at Mansion No. [-]. You go back and wait for my news." Ye Fang said.

"Yes, Mr. Ye." Miyagi left Xiyuan without staying too long.

Ye Fang was sitting quietly in the stone pavilion at this time. Leng Chuan stood not far away and looked at Ye Fang who was thinking deeply in the pavilion. He rarely saw Ye Fang being so indecisive. At this time, Ye Fang recalled the news he had just inquired about Ye Chengan, and unexpectedly learned that this Ye Chengan was actually Ye Youxin's son.

The matter of Mansion No. [-] is neither a big deal nor a small matter. For these second and third generation officials and businessmen, they have their own private small businesses. Although there is a suspicion of using power for personal gain, it will not cause too much trouble. The problem is that the other eight people in Mansion No. [-] pushed Ye Chengan to the front desk, and seemed to be suspected of taking advantage of Ye Chengan. Although Ye Chengan did not pay, he acted on the basis of the reputation of the Ye family, and no matter which big boss in the capital saw him, he Give it some thin noodles.

Although in everyone's eyes, the Ye family is no longer what it used to be, and there are even signs of decline, only Ye Fang knows that the power of the Ye family is now at its peak, but the existence of the Ye family is too low-key. I almost forgot about the Ye family.

If Ye Chengan wasn't Ye Youxin's son, Ye Fang wouldn't bother to care about it. But since Ye Chengan is Ye Youxin's son, Ye Fang can't watch Ye Youxin's weakness being pinched by his own son. Maybe one day he will It was used as a weapon to attack Ye Youxin.

After much thought, Ye Fang decided to pull Ye Chengan out of Mansion No. [-], for Ye Youxin, for Zhang Xiuying, and for the Ye family.

Of course, all this could only be done in secret, and Ye Fang didn't want to alarm anyone.
