Now only Ye Fang, Xiaozhuang, Qi Gege, and Ye Fang's bodyguard and driver Su Long are left in the room.

Xiaozhuang saw that he couldn't finish his meal, so he waved the waiters away, and then brought a pot of tea.

"Dear guest, please take a seat!" Since Qi Gege bought the membership of Xiyuan, he is a distinguished guest of Xiyuan. Xiaozhuang did not dare to neglect and gestured politely.

"Are you..." Qi Gege looked at Xiaozhuang and asked.

"She is the boss of Xiyuan." Ye Fang asked Qi Gege to sit down, and then poured a cup of tea for himself and Qi Gege respectively.

There were fewer and fewer people in the yard, and many people went directly to their rooms to eat. It snowed heavily at some point, and Xiyuan in the snow was uniquely beautiful. Especially sipping tea and looking at the snowy scenery is a rare beauty in life.

Hearing that the woman in front of him was the boss of Xiyuan, Qi Gege looked at Xiaozhuang, and then at Ye Fang. A trace of shock flashed in his eyes, and he asked Xiaozhuang directly, "What is the price of keeping him?"

This was the second time today that Ye Fang almost spit out the tea, and said angrily to Qi Gege, "Is this all this nonsense in your mind?"

Xiaozhuang slowly took a piece of paper and handed it directly to Ye Fang, and then naturally stood behind Ye Fang, expressing everything with his actions and attitude.

"Didn't you say you don't have a job? Is it possible that you also signed up as a member?" Qi Gege is also a young lady from a wealthy family. When he saw Ye Fang's calm demeanor and Xiaozhuang's humble look behind him, he immediately understood that Ye Fang He is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He is basically a rich young man. I heard Qi Gege ask, "Who are you? The person behind is the boss of Xiyuan. Are you her boss?"

Ye Fang was noncommittal, but did not directly answer Qigege's question. Instead, he asked, "Even if we have only met twice this time, apart from your name, I don't know who you are?" Ye Fang knew that he could step in. The person who can afford the membership card at Xiyuan Gate is definitely not an ordinary young lady.

Chigge smiled and said in a mysterious manner, "I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I tell you."

"I'm so scared, please tell me quickly." Ye Fang said angrily, but at the same time he also had a premonition in his heart.

"Do you know the Eight Families in the Capital?" Qi Gege said with a smile.

"I only know the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties." Ye Fang said casually.

"That's not the same thing at all." Siegge explained, "The Eight Families in the Capital refer to the eight big families in the capital with a history of a hundred years. Each family is a business giant and controls the world's wealth."

"Repay the world's wealth? According to you, the entire country belongs to these eight families." Ye Fang said deliberately.

"These eight major families not only refer to the wealth they own. Although the wealth in the world is a bit exaggerated, each family is indeed very rich and has a historical background. Unfortunately, my family is one of these eight families." Siegge He proudly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. The faint fragrance of tea left a scent on his lips and teeth, and he was full of praise.

Xiaozhuang looked at Qi Gege and thought to himself that he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him had such a big background.

"Qi family?" Ye Fang asked tentatively.

"You still have some knowledge!" Qi Gege put down his tea cup and said to Ye Fang, "Ruling the country and bringing the family together to bring peace to the world is the Qi family!"

"Is this the meaning of this poem?" Ye Fang asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course that was not the original intention. The ancestor of the Qi family was first a lieutenant of Zuo Zongtang and a fierce general who conquered the east and west. Later, the Qing court declined and was finally overthrown, and the descendants of the Qi family slowly abandoned the military Being in business is what makes the Qi family what it is today,” said Qi Gege.

"How dare I ask Qi Wenbin who you are?" Ye Fang asked.

"He's my eldest brother. Why, do you know him?" Chigge asked.

"How could I not know about such an influential person?" Ye Fang said with a smile. Siegege's words indeed confirmed his suspicion.

"My eldest brother is a man who has made great changes in the capital and will be the head of the Qi family in the future. If there is a chance, I will introduce you to him and let him guide you. How much money can you make by running a restaurant by collecting membership fees?" Qi Gege was a little confused. He said proudly.

"I heard that Qijia is a large institution in the capital market and all its projects are worth hundreds of millions. I'm just a restaurant owner, so I can't afford it." Ye Fang said with a deliberate sigh.

"You definitely can't afford big projects, but you can still participate in some small projects." At this time, Chigge looked around, and then deliberately whispered, "I heard that my elder brother is planning to acquire a listed company. Company, you can take the opportunity to buy some shares of that company now and sell them directly when the news comes out, ensuring that you can make money."

"Oh, is there such a good thing?" Ye Fang said in surprise.

"I also overheard it when I passed by his study. I don't know if it's accurate, but you can pay attention first. What is it called Qumei International? My elder brother doesn't let me get involved in his affairs. If I hadn't eavesdropped, I can't help you either." Chigge said carelessly.

"Okay, I'll pay attention first. To express my gratitude, all your consumption in the garden today will be mine." Ye Fang patted his chest and said to Qi Gege.

"Okay, that's disrespectful. I'm going to go find my sisters now and tell them that someone has invited me to dinner today." Chigge chuckled and left the room.

Xiaozhuang looked at Qi Gege's leaving figure and wondered, "Is this little girl really innocent, or is she just pretending to be confused? Isn't it another trick of the Qi family?"

"It's a set, not a set. You have to step on it to find out." Ye Fang drank tea and lowered his head in thought. Xiaozhuang did not dare to disturb Ye Fang's thoughts, but looked back at the scenery outside the window and remained silent.

The opening of Xiyuan officially opened Ye Fang's territory of power, and also announced to the outside world that another force was quietly rising in the capital.

By the time Wang Junhe and Bi Xingfa returned to the room, the snow had stopped, the hustle and bustle of Xiyuan had gradually subsided, the sky had darkened, and the business of Xiyuan had gradually returned to calm.

"That little girl is gone? Her surname is Qi too?" Wang Junhe knew very well that he was alone now, but he still wanted to gossip.

"She is Qi Wenbin's sister, dear." Ye Fang said directly.

"Then she came to declare war today?" Bi Xingfa asked.

"What kind of war are you declaring? You think it's a medieval martial arts contest, and she's here to deliver news." Ye Fang then relayed Qigege's words to Wang Junhe and Bi Xingfa.

"Qumei International, I know this company. It has been on the market for more than three years. The market is not big, less than one billion, and its main business is a home decoration chain store. Nowadays, people are still used to going to the building materials market to buy furniture and building materials. No one He has the habit of going to large shopping malls for consumption, so the company's profits are average and the stock price is tepid. Qijia really wants to acquire this company?" Bi Xingfa seemed to be unable to think of a reason for Qijia to acquire this company. If it was like the previous Haijia The crow-turned-phoenix case like Cheng Iron and Steel was pretty much the same, but Bi Xing found that the acquisition of Qumei International was a thankless task for the Qi family, both horizontally and vertically.
