Chapter 115 Ye Xinyi, the Undercurren (1/2)

Ye Tianming's eyes flashed. Suddenly, he smiled faintly and asked, ”Brother Bing, do you need me to peel oranges? Or cut some apples? ”
Xiao Bing asked, ”Why don't you give me a direct answer?”
Ye Tianming took out an orange out from the bag, peeled it with his hand, and said softly, ”In the Ye Family, there are three people in my generation, namely Ye Xinyi, Ye Tianming and Ye Xiaoxi. I am the only male descendant so the position of chairman belongs to me. There won't be any competition between me and my sister.”
Xiao Bing sighed emotionally, ”You are right. Normally, you will be the heir of the Ye Family enterprise and the backbone of the entire Ye Family. However, Ye Xinyi is almost as good as you and Ye Xinyi is very ambitious. Do you think your sisters will let you take over the position of chairman so easily? ”
Ye Tianming would definitely understand what Xiao Bing was trying to say. Although Ye Tianming appeared to be standing aloof from worldly affairs, Xiao Bing knew that he was hiding his true feelings. Ye Tianming kept his cards close to his chest and no one could read his mind.
Compared to Ye Xinyi, Xiao Bing hoped that Ye Tianming could become the head of the Ye Family. After all, he had a good relationship with Ye Tianming and Ye Tianming treated Yezi better. It seemed that he treated others more sincerely and kindly. Therefore, Xiao Bing wanted to remind him.
Ye Tianming put down the orange peel and handed the orange to Xiao Bing. He smiled and said, ”As what you have said, I'm unlikely to let my sister take up the position of chairman because I am the only male descendant in my family. This guarantees that the family business will still belong to the Ye Family in the future. Even if my elder sister is very capable, she doesn't have any say. Also, even if there are some setbacks, it doesn't matter to me. When I become chairman, my elder sister will still be my elder sister and I will still be her younger brother. Our conflict will cease to exist. ”
Xiao Bing said emotionally, ”Tianming, I actually underestimate you. You fight for your own rights. You are more confident than I have imagined.”
Ye Tianming smiled, ”The head of a family and the chairman of a large corporation should be wise, tolerant and confident.”
”Well, I believe you have all these merits.” Xiao Bing sighed. ”Ye Bancheng has indeed raised excellent children. Even though your sister is more cunning, all of you are smart and confident. What do you think your elder sister will do next? ”
Ye Tianming said, ”She will collaborate with the directors on her side of the company and try to intimidate other directors so to win the selection. Well, this is just one of them... On the other hand, she will work on my father, who is very important. To be honest, I can't think of any way that she can use to influence my father to support her. I guess she will sweet-talk my father, but it won't be of much help.”
”To put it bluntly, your elder sister has lost?”
”You can say so.”
Ye Tianming wiped his hands and smiled slightly. He said, ”There is no winning or losing, per se between family members. If my father doesn't mind having his company falls into the hands of other people, I might as well directly give my elder sister the position of chairman.”
Ye Tianming looked at Xiao Bing and asked, ”Brother Bing, do you think there is anything more important than human feelings in this world?”
Xiao Bing shook his head. He looked at Ye Tianming and said with a wry smile, ”To be honest, Ye Tianming, I can't tell whether you are speaking the truth.”
Ye Tianming stared at Xiao Bing and said seriously, ”I will prove to you one day that I am not the kind of person who sets my sights on my father's legacy. To me, relationships are more precious than anything else.”
Ye Tianming walked towards the window slowly and opened it. Looking at the gloomy weather outside, his tone was also full of melancholy. He said, ”It's going to rain...”
The status of Ye's group in Jiang City resembled or even surpassed the status Li Jiacheng had in Hong Kong. Although Li Jiacheng was the richest man in Hong Kong and was the richest Chinese, Hong Kong was a place where rich and powerful families gather. Although no one was richer than Li Jiacheng, some were catching up to him.
Jiang City was different. Ye Bancheng was a household name in Jiang City. Half of the wealth in Jiang City belonged to the Ye Family. The Ye Family had businesses across multiple industries, such as entertainment, real estate, manufacturing, retail, etc. Ye Family had branches all over Jiang City, Province H and even in the outskirts of Province H.
It could be said that the status of the Ye Family even exceeded that of the municipal party committee secretary of Jiang City. If Ye Family collapsed, the economy of Jiang City would inevitably retrogress to its former state a decade ago. This was also the reason why Master Hou feared a little of Ye Bancheng.
