Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, thinking that there was a deep rift between the father and daughter of the Ye family, which could not be smoothed over with just a few words. In order to prevent Ye Qingrou from getting too excited, Fang Zhicheng changed the subject and said, "From now on, you are no longer alone. If you encounter any problems, I will help you."

"Really?" Ye Qingrou smiled.

Fang Zhicheng nodded and promised: "I promise!"

The two talked for a while, and Fang Zhicheng peeled some apples for Ye Qingrou. At about 6:30 in the evening, Ye Meizi walked into the ward slowly with a small pink bag. Seeing Fang Zhicheng was also there, she looked relieved, and glanced at Ye Qingrou again, and her complexion also looked much better.

Ye Meizi placed her bag on the table and said with a smile, "The power of love is indeed strong. Xiaorou's health has improved a lot after just one day of not seeing her."

Ye Qingrou showed shame on her face, and snorted softly, "Sister Meizi, you laughed at me as soon as we met, that's too much."

When Fang Zhicheng saw Ye Meizi coming in, he thought it was time for dinner, so he asked Ye Meizi to accompany Ye Qingrou and went to the cafeteria to get food. When Fang Zhicheng left the ward, Ye Meizi sighed deeply and said, "You are so stupid. How could you do such an outrageous thing? When I got off the plane and heard the news, I almost had a heart attack."

Ye Qingrou stuck out her tongue and said self-deprecatingly: "I was just impulsive. If I were given another chance, I would never do anything like this."

Ye Meizi placed Ye Qingrou's hand in her palm and rubbed it carefully, and said seriously: "Xiao Rou, promise me that no matter how difficult things are in the future, remember not to give up your life as the price."

Ye Qingrou smiled happily and said, "You're so nagging. I know everything. From now on, I must live happily. Brother has promised me that he will stay with me forever."

"Did he promise you?" Ye Meizi looked puzzled.

Ye Qingrou nodded and said, "Yes. Although I suffered a little, I know that my brother has me in his heart. If I leave now, wouldn't it be a big loss, and it would be a waste for others?"

Ye Meizi smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of muddled logic is this. Are you living for Fang Zhicheng?"

Ye Qingrou tilted her head, blinked her eyes, and said, "Isn't it possible to live for Fang Zhicheng?"

Ye Meizi advised softly: "Why should you let others become the protagonist of your life?"

Ye Qingrou's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "I am a woman, and I need a male protagonist in my life. Fang Zhicheng is destined to be that male protagonist. Why can't I live for him?"

Ye Meizi was slightly stunned, with all kinds of thoughts in her mind, because she could not deny Ye Qingrou's point of view. Although Ye Qingrou was younger than her, she had a thorough understanding of love.

Is this what love feels like

Chapter 0254: Going Out and Bringing In

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Ye Mingjing came to the ward again before Ye Qingrou went to sleep. Ye Qingrou turned her face away, and Ye Mingjing smiled bitterly, knowing that his daughter had not forgiven him yet, and slowly pushed the door and walked out of the ward.

Seeing Ye Mingjing's gloomy expression, Fang Zhicheng followed Ye Mingjing out, stood side by side with him, took out a cigarette and handed it to him. Ye Mingjing was slightly startled, holding the cigarette, borrowed a light from Fang Zhicheng, then looked at the night view in the sky, with a trace of imperceptible loneliness flashing in his eyes.

Fang Zhicheng did not break this atmosphere and smoked a cigarette with Ye Mingjing. Ten minutes later, Ye Mingjing walked to the trash can, pinched off the cigarette butt, and whispered, "I heard that you registered an investment company in Dongtai."

Fang Zhicheng guessed that Ye Mingjing must have investigated him behind his back, so he couldn't hide many things from Ye Mingjing. He nodded and said, "I want to change the previous investment promotion model. Now many governments outside the province are doing this, and I want to try it too."

Ye Mingjing smiled and said, "I have never heard of a government outside the province that dares to take such a big step. It is a big risk to use the government as the main investor. If you fail, your career will be ruined."

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said softly: "If you don't dare to try, how can you do what others can't do?"

Ye Mingjing heard the confidence in Fang Zhicheng's tone and nodded, "You are a man with ideas. If one day you can't make it in the government, why not come to my company and give me a hand? How about it?"

Ye Mingjing extended an olive branch, which was rare. After all, from a political perspective, the Ye faction and the Song faction were now fighting fiercely in Yinzhou. Fang Zhicheng was Song Wendi's confidant, and it was a big challenge for Ye Mingjing to use Fang Zhicheng.

Fang Zhicheng shook his head gently and said, "Boss Ye, you think too highly of me. As for me, I am prepared to eat the big pot meal in the system in this life. I am afraid it will not be my turn to make a lot of money in this life."

Ye Mingjing's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "You are stubborn. I want to do a business with you, are you willing?"

"Oh?" Fang Zhicheng shrugged. "I wonder what aspect Mr. Ye wants to seek cooperation from?"

Ye Mingjing stared at Fang Zhicheng and knew that this guy had probably guessed it in his heart a long time ago. He smiled and said, "If Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. wants to truly become an incubator for enterprises, it still needs two conditions. The first is a bank, and the second is a guarantee company. Yunhai Group has a guarantee company that should meet the qualifications. If you are willing, we can form a strategic partnership."

Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, obviously he did not expect Ye Mingjing to be so helpful. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Are there any preferential policies for cooperating with you?"

Ye Mingjing laughed loudly. Seeing Fang Zhicheng bargaining, he said, "Then there will be no preferential policies. I might as well tell you straight, there is no other powerful guarantee company in the whole Huainan Province except mine."

Fang Zhicheng had some knowledge of the guarantee companies in Huainan Province. As Ye Mingjing said, Yunhai Group's Jiayu Guarantee Company had a registered capital of 306 million, making it one of the largest and earliest guarantee companies in the province. If it was really possible to cooperate with Jiayu Guarantee Company, then it would be much easier to negotiate cooperation with the bank. In 2006, guarantee companies were rare in the country, especially high-quality private guarantee companies like Jiayu.

However, why did Ye Mingjing take the initiative to show his good will to me? He is a businessman, and it is hard to believe that he would give such a big gift just for his daughter.

Fang Zhicheng pondered for a moment and said softly: "Boss Ye, I guess you have other requests, right?"

Ye Mingjing secretly thought that Fang Zhicheng was smart, and said frankly: "If Jiayu Guarantee Company is willing to become a partner of Dongtai Merchant Investment Service Co., Ltd., then you need to give up a certain proportion of shares."

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "So Mr. Ye wants to play with us?"

Ye Mingjing nodded and smiled: "Xiao Fang, don't you have the courage to play with me?"

Fang Zhicheng whispered, "I wonder how many shares Mr. Ye wants?"

Ye Mingjing frowned slightly and said, "Twenty percent of the shares, of course, I won't take it for nothing, I will invest in it as capital, I wonder if ten million is enough?"

Ye Mingjing's proposal was very tempting. Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. was still in its infancy. Although according to the original idea, the government would inject all the rewards from Dongtai Merchants Bureau last year into the company as operating funds, it has not been in place in the actual operation process. If Ye Mingjing is willing to invest 10 million, it will quickly activate the company's capital chain and enable the entire company to take shape quickly.

However, capital operation is very risky. If 20% of the shares are handed over to Yunhai Group, it means that Yunhai Group will become the second largest shareholder of Dongtai Merchants Investment Service Co., Ltd. The company's various decisions will be constrained by it. If things go wrong, it will make wedding dresses for others. During the operation, it will be led by Ye Mingjing and lose a lot of freedom.

Fang Zhicheng smiled and said, "Boss Ye, isn't 20% of the shares a bit too much?"

Ye Mingjing chuckled and said, "This is already a big concession from me. As far as I know, the Dongtai government has only injected more than 20 million yuan, and it has not yet arrived. If Yunhai Group is willing to inject 10 million yuan, it will be able to solve your urgent needs, and it will be easier for you to negotiate with the bank. I won't force you to make a decision now. Go back and think about it carefully. If you are willing, call me again."
