Da'an's best son-in-law

Chapter 16 The Swordsman

Seeing the tall figure at the door, Wei Yanran couldn't help but have a look of shock in her beautiful eyes. Didn't she tell the steward to let Ye Chen go back? Why did he come here?

In Wei Yanran's impression, Ye Chen didn't seem to have enough enthusiasm for anything. With the former's indifferent attitude, he would definitely not get involved in this fight.

But now, Ye Chen was really standing in front of her.

Everyone in the hall started whispering when they saw Ye Chen arriving.

This is a meeting held by representatives of various families. The Wei family no longer appears because Mr. Wei is old, so it makes sense to send Wei Yanran. But Ye Chen was just the son-in-law of the Wei family, so where did he get the qualifications to participate in the meeting?

Someone from the Chen family immediately scolded:

"This is a business alliance meeting in Jizhou. Anyone else please leave!"

Ye Chen ignored the person who had just spoken, walked straight to Wei Yanran's seat, and sat down slowly under the puzzled eyes of everyone.

"Didn't I tell you not to come? Why did you come anyway?" Wei Yanran said angrily.

Ye Chen shrugged helplessly and replied, "In name, I'm still your husband. I can't let you, a girl, take the lead."

Seeing that he was being ignored by Ye Chen, the person who just spoke suddenly felt that he had lost face, and he still said aggressively

"Didn't you hear what I said? Come here! Get this son-in-law out of here!"

The servant next to him got the order and walked towards Ye Chen. The former was still sitting on the chair immaculately, looking at the people coming quietly.

Just when the two of them were about to come into contact with Ye Chen, they were shocked by a loud shout.

"Go away!"

Wei Yanran looked coldly at the two people in front of her who had retracted their hands angrily, and said to the person who had just spoken:

"I'm a member of the Wei family, it's not your turn to discipline me! Ye Chen is my husband, I will give him the qualification to participate in the meeting!" After saying this, he glanced around the room coldly and said

"Which family head doesn't agree?"

Seeing Wei Yanran's anger, everyone immediately did not dare to touch the former's bad luck again. Today they were just the helpers of the Chen Yue family, so they had to give up their doubts about Ye Chen.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

In the hall, crisp applause sounded. Chen Moqun, who was sitting in the first place on the left, looked at the two people on the right with a faint smile and slowly said.

"I have long heard that the third young lady of the Wei family and the young master of the Ye family are married. Now I see that the couple is really in love and they can advance and retreat together. It is really rare."

"But..." Chen Moqun's smile suddenly disappeared and he said coldly

"Do you two think that being so messy can change today's outcome?"

Just now, he had suppressed Wei Yanran in terms of momentum and appearance. If Ye Chen hadn't suddenly arrived and disrupted his steps, he would have now entered the final step he expected.

After all, the Chen Yue family spent half a year on this plan...

"Why is Mr. Chen so aggressive?"

Beside Wei Yanran, the man from the Ye family who had remained silent now slowly spoke.

"It's not pushy, just discussing the matter."

Chen Moqun glanced at the man who had just spoken, and replied calmly.

"Ye Wenyuan, if you, the Ye family, want to change your mind now, it's still too late, lest the Wei family will be eliminated and you will end up with a bad end."

Hearing the threat in the former's words, Ye Wenyuan smiled incredulously and did not take the threat to heart. The alliance with the Wei family is what the old man of the Ye family wants, and he will not change it easily because of any threats.

Seeing that Ye Wenyuan did not accept the threat in his words, Chen Moqun turned to look at everyone in the hall

"Actually, my Chen family is not so unkind. If the Wei family is willing to join the Jizhou Business Alliance founded by my Chen family and be headed by the Chen family, then there is no need to leave."

Hearing this, Wei Yanran's pretty face condensed and she said coldly

"dream!"

Although the Wei family's foundation is not as good as that of the Chen family, in recent years, relying on waterways, their business has been booming, and they have great potential to catch up with the former.

If you agree to join, you will definitely lose control of the waterway in the future. I am afraid that the Chen family will step on it and never stand up again.

As if he had expected the former's answer, Chen Moqun didn't have much surprise in his eyes. He slowly shook his head and said with an indifferent expression.

"Then just play by the rules."

Yue Shan beside him understood and said:

"If you are willing to join the business alliance, and exclude those from the Wei family, the conditions agreed to by our two families will remain unchanged."

Hearing this, everyone who had maintained a wait-and-see attitude became a little shaken. The conditions proposed by the Chen and Yue families were too tempting. If they could really do business in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the family's profits would probably increase several times.

"The Wang family and others are willing to join the business alliance" "The Su family is willing!"

As everyone's voices of approval rang out in the hall, more and more supporters came to the Chen Yue family, and even several families that originally supported the Wei family began to defect.

“What’s the use of having many supporters?”

Ye Chen looked at Wei Yanran, whose pretty face slowly turned serious beside him, and said. That section of waterway was developed by the Wei family, and the ownership and management rights are in the hands of the Wei family. What is the use of these people's attempts to deprive it of it?

"The Wei family does have the initiative over the waterway in front of them, but that is only temporary. If more than two-thirds of the families agree to eliminate the Wei family's possession rights, then according to Da'an's decree, the Wei family will no longer be able to occupy it in the future." Wei A rare hint of worry flashed through Yanran's eyes as she replied.

Ye Chen nodded understandingly. He didn't expect that Da'an's laws were so detailed. Even the ownership of waterways had special laws and regulations. According to the current situation, two-thirds of the target will probably be reached soon.

"A share of the pie? With the way your Chen Yue family behaves, these small families may not even be able to drink the soup."

"Don't you understand the principle behind dying lips and cold teeth?"

Ye Chen played with the teacup in his hand and said lightly

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was in high spirits suddenly became quiet. Ye Chen's words woke them up. The temptation of profit just now was so great that they were all a little too excited.

The pie painted by Chen Yue's family is very beautiful, but participating in business in Suzhou is not that simple. How can they believe it without some convincing conditions?

"Ye Chen, what do you mean!"

Seeing that the originally one-sided situation had stabilized due to Ye Chen's words, Yue Shan said angrily.

"It's nothing, I just don't want everyone to be used as a gunman. In the end, not only will they not get a share of the pie, but they will also lose the family fortune that they have worked hard for for decades." Ye Chen replied calmly.

"After all, every inch of land is precious. Although the benefits are high and you don't have to pay any price, it's not easy to participate..."

These words were like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of those present. The Chen and Yue families must have paid a heavy price to establish relations with the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, but what was the price?

If it is the interests of many families in Jizhou, then they will never agree.

The negotiation reached a deadlock again due to Ye Chen's interruption.
