Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Song Yun picked up Yuan Siyi and returned to the villa, only to find that Ye Qingqing had already arrived home as soon as he opened the door.

At this moment, Ye Qingqing seemed very busy, her phone ringing incessantly.

"Husband! You've made it onto the list of the wealthy! My group of girlfriends are all congratulating me~" Ye Qingqing said with a giggly smile, wrapping her arms around Song Yun's arm, "They all badmouthed you in the past, and now they regret it, but it's too late!"

Song Yun didn't take her seriously and laughed as he stroked Ye Qingqing's head before beginning to prepare lunch.

Meanwhile, within the Ye Corporation.

A senior company executive cautiously made his way to the restroom, checked that it was empty after knocking on each stall, and then sent all the documents related to the company's internal acquisition of the internet company IS to Zhuang Siheng.

After the transfer was complete, simultaneously, his bank account received a deposit of 6 million.

Looking at the string of zeros, he deleted all the chat history, feeling completely satisfied.

Having obtained the inside information, Zhuang Siheng started to contact the upper echelons of IS, expressing his intention to acquire the company.

After learning that the Ye Corporation had offered them an irresistible price, Zhuang Siheng disdainfully said, "I'm willing to offer 10.3 billion, think it over. After all, you haven't signed a contract with the Ye Corporation yet, and it's perfectly normal to have second thoughts!"

10.3 billion, a sum that was 800 million more than what the Ye Corporation had bid. It would be foolish not to earn the extra money!

However, the father of the Ye family, being an old tycoon in the business world, was not someone the IS company could afford to offend at will. They had no choice but to report back to him and see what his stance would be.

At that moment, the father of the Ye family was leisurely lying on the couch, watching a brainless romance drama with his wife. He couldn't understand why women liked this kind of domineering CEO character; after all, he was a real CEO standing right in front of her, yet he was constantly looked down upon by her. It really made no sense.

"Master! Something big has happened!" The assistant Fan Yiru rushed over in a hurry, his expression grave as he said, "The Zhuang family has approached IS, and their offer is higher than ours. The president of IS has called to ask what our stance is!"

Upon hearing this, the father of the Ye family furrowed his brows. This project was supposed to be a company secret; how did the Zhuang family get wind of it?

And to intervene at this critical juncture just before the contract signing was an insult. Did they think he was a clay Buddha to be trifled with?

"Raise the offer! Successfully acquiring IS can fill the last gap in the Ye Corporation and be our boost to take the world stage. No matter what, we must secure it!" the father of the Ye family said earnestly.

When the news got back to him, Zhuang Siheng was internally gloating, making his enemy pay more to buy an ordinary item was like making a killing himself.

Thus, the Zhuang family of Magic Capital and the Ye family fought fiercely over an internet company, with the offer escalating to 18.6 billion.

During this period, both families were under tremendous psychological pressure. The Zhuang family was trying to gauge the limit, afraid that the father of the Ye family would really give up on IS in a fit of anger, while the Ye family was calculating whether their cash flow was healthy enough and how soon they could integrate resources completely after acquiring IS.

A day later, after continuous probing by both sides, the father of the Ye family finalized the deal with an offer of 25.4 billion.

Zhuang Siheng didn't raise the stakes further and let the Ye Corporation get what they wanted.

He knew that this price was the highest the father of the Ye family was willing to pay. Continuing the bidding would risk IS falling into his own hands instead.

"Uncle Zhuang, this is the latest news from within the Ye Corporation. Out of the 25.4 billion to acquire IS, 13.2 billion were borrowed from the bank. If the Ye family can't pay it back, they'll be totally ruined," Nangong Han said, revealing a sly smile like a child who had succeeded in a prank, "The Ye family, greatly weakened, how can they compete with us!"

"Yeah, the Ye family has only risen to wealth for just over two decades and already dares to call itself the richest family in Magic Capital. How arrogant!"

"The next move depends on Uncle Ye. Once we succeed, I'll personally introduce you to some big shots in Forty-nine City, ensuring that the Zhuang family's position as the richest in Magic Capital is solid!"

Nangong Han's words were highly attractive, and Zhuang Siheng had already imagined himself standing under the spotlight, receiving accolades from all around!

The aftermath of the struggle between the Ye family and the Zhuang family continued, with people in both Magic Capital and Forty-nine City discussing these topics after dinner.

But after all, this was news that only the upper echelons would be privy to. Ordinary people, upon seeing the financial experts on the news talk at length about the deeper meanings behind the events, would find it boring and change the channel.

After all, it had nothing to do with them. Spending time listening to experts spout nonsense was less appealing than following a TV series.

Forty-nine City's film and television base.

The drama Xiao Wan was involved in had already completed more than half of its shooting. Sky Entertainment had spent countless resources on this new film, starting a massive publicity campaign.

Suddenly, the internet was flooded with articles about the film, and everyone's expectations were getting higher and higher.

As the second female lead in the drama, Xiao Wan's screen time was almost on par with the female lead. During breaks in filming, she would also join the crew in various cities to do some offline promotion work.

With constant exposure, on top of Xiao Wan's already excellent foundation, her social media followers had exploded in growth, and she now had more than 6 million fans.

And this was far from the peak; after the movie's release, she believed that with her exquisite acting skills, her following would grow by millions more.

By then, Xiao Wan would be well on her way to becoming a famous star, a quasi first-line artist with tens of millions of followers right from her debut.

That day, after the filming was completed, Xiao Wan declined the dinner invitation, dragging her weary body home to rest.

Just as she reached the entrance of the neighborhood, her car was stopped.

Her assistant, specially assigned by Sky Entertainment, thought of stepping out to handle the situation, but Xiao Wan saw that those blocking the car were neighbors from her community, so she told the assistant to go back first and come to pick her up on time tomorrow.

The place where Xiao Wan lived was a new residential area built after demolition, where all the residents were old neighbors from the former alleys. Everyone had several decades of relationship with Xiao Wan's father, and she didn't want to cause a rift.

"Click, click, click!"

Seeing Xiao Wan get out of the car, the neighbors immediately lifted their phones to take photos.

Xiao Wan carefully made her way through the crowd, apologizing with a smile, "Uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, I've been tired all day. Would you let me go home to rest?"

"What's a big star got to be tired about? Isn't it just shooting some scenes and saying a few lines?" a neighbor exclaimed.

"Exactly, exactly. We watched you grow up, and now that you're famous, what's wrong with us taking a few photos?"

"Xiao Wan, I'm the nephew of your next-door neighbor's cousin. I've started a live broadcast, come and say a few words to the audience!"

"Thanks to my Tiger Bro for the cruise ship gift! You want to come to Forty-nine City just to see Xiao Wan in person? No problem, come anytime. How can I lack some influence? Asking her to have a meal with us is definitely possible!"
