Chapter 132: Plans for Rebuilding the Ye Family

"Huh?"

"You trust me that much?" Liang Yue looked shocked. She never expected that, having only recently reunited with her junior brother, he would be willing to entrust such significant military power to her.

"Besides, never mind me, you're actually willing to entrust it to that idiot Gu Qingcheng too!"

"You really are bold!"

"Try saying that one more time?" Being insulted by her sister in front of so many people, Gu Qingcheng was instantly furious enough to explode, and she swung a fist, knocking Liang Yue onto the bed.

"I’m just saying, she’s an idiot. She can eat a lot and has strength, but she’s single-minded and even a bit crazy." Liang Yue clutched her shoulder, wincing in pain.

As sisters who had known each other for years, although Gu Qingcheng and Liang Yue were the weakest in terms of cultivation, they were the closest and often bickered.

Without further ado, the two women started scuffling on the spot.

"This..."

Ye Tian shook his head helplessly. He naturally knew that Senior Sister Gu was neurotic and couldn't manage an organization, which was why he had her work alongside Senior Sister Liang Yue, who seemed more intelligent.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to find something for his senior sisters to do.

"Stop messing around, I still have things to say."

Ye Tian said sternly, stopping them from continuing their commotion. He then looked at Ye Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, from now on, you are in charge of security and intelligence for the Ye family. I am granting you the authority to recruit and dismiss personnel."

"For the safety of the family and future expansion, the staff can be as large as possible; don't worry about funding."

"Yes, Master!"

Ye Xiaomei’s eyes lit up, filled with excitement.

Previously, within the Ito family in Japan, she was ostensibly the "Eldest Senior Sister," but due to Ito Junin’s precautions, she actually had no power at all.

Every time they acted, she simply followed the family head’s arrangements like a machine, executing tasks.

By saying this, Ye Tian was clearly granting her considerable authority and freedom!

This was exactly what she, a woman of ambition, hoped for most.

It made her feel valued, and she was very happy!

"Good. Next is Mu Qing."

Ye Tian continued.

"Starting today, Mu Qing will be in charge of all the Ye family’s finances, as well as the revenue statistics for all our current family industries. Furthermore, you have the authority to directly intervene in the operations of any of our subsidiaries."

"This... isn't that a bit much?"

Li Muqing was somewhat overwhelmed by Ye Tian’s arrangement.

The entire Ye family’s finances, plus the operational rights to all their industries!

During this time, Ye Tian had plundered and taken over at least a hundred billion in assets from the shattered three great tycoon families, and many large enterprises were still operating smoothly!

Good heavens, letting her manage a hundred billion in funds!

She wasn't his wife, and it was hard to say if her abilities were sufficient; how could she shoulder such a heavy responsibility...

Could it be that Ye Tian wants to marry me?

Thinking of this, Li Muqing’s face turned crimson, and for a moment, she dared not look into the man’s eyes.

Annoying man, when did she ever agree to marry him!

This stubborn man just likes to be full of himself!

"There’s nothing 'too much' about it. Mu Qing, don’t underestimate yourself. As early as five years ago, I witnessed your economic acumen at a banquet."

"Besides, I don't believe an Ivy League female Ph.D. in economics can't even balance a family’s books."

"Oh, stop it. Who is 'a family' with you..." Li Muqing’s face turned even redder.

"You will be soon enough." Ye Tian grinned, not giving her a chance to refuse.

In his heart, Li Muqing would sooner or later be one of his own, someone worth trusting.

After settling these matters, Ye Tian finally turned his gaze toward the Zhou sisters: "As for you two, I would like to entrust the future social relations between the Ye family and the major clans of Zhongdu to you."

"No problem, we accept." Zhou Manyun nodded without hesitation, but quickly added:

"However, you can't just have us sisters do the work without giving us any benefits."

Hearing this, Ye Tian felt it was reasonable:

"Whatever salary you want, I can offer it."

"We don't want a salary, but I haven't decided on the specific terms yet. I'll tell you once we've thought about it."

"Fine."

"Alright, the meeting is over. You may all return to your homes."

After finishing what he had to say, Ye Tian dismissed the women, leaving Gu Qing'er behind amidst a flurry of curious glances.

"You called me over but didn't give me any tasks. What kind of twisted scheme are you plotting?"

Seeing Ye Tian’s feigned inscrutable expression, Gu Qing'er was instantly furious.

During her time at the Ye family, she had done no less work than any of them.

Yet, that man had distributed all those important positions to others, leaving none for her!

"Have you stayed at my house so long that you’ve gone dim-witted and forgotten your own identity?" Ye Tian looked at her as if she were a fool: "Big sister, you are the young lady of the Gu family, not my subordinate!"

"Oh, right!" Gu Qing'er suddenly realized. She had forgotten that she still had a home to return to. As the daughter of an ancient martial arts family, why was she so focused on working for Ye Tian!

"I kept you behind, of course, for that matter."

Ye Tian suddenly said seriously:

"You’ve helped me so much that I’ve long considered you a friend, so I can agree to the matter of 'borrowing seed'."

!!!

She looked at him with shocked eyes.

"Why are you suddenly like this?"

"Why?" Ye Tian was a bit confused. Hadn't this girl been clamoring for it? Now that he had finally agreed, why did she look so disappointed?

"I get it."

Gu Qing'er’s face sank. She turned and pulled open the door: "You think that just because I’ve worked hard helping you manage the family for so long, I only did it to 'borrow seed'? You think so shallowly of me!"

"And you have the nerve to say you consider me a friend."

"Hmph!"

With that, Gu Qing'er left without looking back.

This woman is really something else. Why is she acting crazy for no reason?

Watching her slam the door and leave, Ye Tian was completely baffled and didn't know where to begin to figure it out.

A woman’s heart is truly hard to guess!

...

Gu Qing'er stormed out of the Ye family’s front gate, turned into an alley, and started punching the wall in frustration.

"Jerk, jerk, jerk!"

"Ye Tian, you are such a dense, tactless man!"

A line of clear tears fell.

Dense men are truly annoying; they don't understand a girl’s heart at all!

All these days, she had been showing concern, preparing his breakfast, handling chores, and tidying up the rooms; she had fulfilled almost every responsibility a wife would have.

She had been so obvious!

But this dense man hadn't reacted at all and had even started treating her like one of the "guys."

Moreover, the reason he offered to do that thing with her was apparently to fulfill a "friend's request"!

What kind of twisted logic is that!

"Can't you just take the initiative and ask me to stay... Besides, I'm not the only child in my family; even if it meant being by your side like Gu Qing'er and the others, I would have been fine with it!"

After venting, Gu Qing'er leaned against the wall, pouring out her frustration.

For a moment, she didn't know where to go.

Should she shamelessly stay, or just pack up and head back to the capital?

"Are you... Gu Qing'er?"

At this moment, a strange voice asked in broken Mandarin.
