A moment later, Auntie Chen led Xiao Wenyao and Xiao Jianren into the living room.
As soon as Xiao Wenyao came in, he saw Ye Jinchen sitting on the sofa. A smile immediately piled up on his face, "Chairman Ye, I'm rudely disturbing today. This little gift is nothing, please accept it with a laugh."
After that, he glanced at Xiao Jianren behind him. Xiao Jianren carefully placed several large gift boxes on the coffee table.
Then a self-perceived elegant smile appeared on her face. She ingratiated herself with Ye Jinmeng, who was playing on her phone on the sofa, "Sister Jinmeng, these are seafood from Jiangcheng. The seafood there is famously delicious. These were freshly caught this morning and flown directly here, absolutely fresh and delicious."
Xiao Wenyao planned that to get Chairman Ye to let up, he must first curry favor with the chairman's sister. This completely caters to her tastes. He's not afraid Ye Jinmeng won't accept.
Ye Jinmeng glanced at the mention of seafood, her eyes calmly sweeping over the gift boxes. Then she glanced at Xiao Jianren with her fake smile, and didn't respond to her at all. She just kept her head down, continuing to play on her phone.
Although she was greedy, she didn't eat just any gift, especially from the person she hated most. She was more afraid of being disgusted than being poisoned.
Xiao Jianren's smile froze awkwardly on her face. She suppressed the anger rising in her heart and continued to ingratiate herself, "What's wrong, Sister Jinmeng? Don't you like it?"
Ye Jinmeng was disgusted. She frowned, "Don't call me sister this and sister that. I only have a brother, not a sister like you."
Xiao Jianren almost lost control of her expression. If it wasn't for her father's repeated warnings before coming not to offend the Ye family, she probably would have slapped this cheap woman by now!
Ye Jinchen was naturally aware of his sister's temperament. Looking at the father and daughter in front of him, his eyebrows ticked up as he politely said, "President Xiao, no need to be polite. Just forget the gifts. I don't know why President Xiao came today?"
Xiao Wenyao didn't expect Ye Jinmeng to not take the bait at all. The corners of his embarrassed mouth twitched as he smiled apologetically, "My undisciplined daughter caused trouble at Yunhai yesterday. As her father I didn't educate her well. I already severely punished her yesterday. Could you please give our XJ another chance?"
Ye Jinchen glanced up at the bandage still wrapped around Xiao Jianren's head. Xiao Jianren also noticed Ye Jinchen looking at her, and immediately put on a grievously wronged expression. She even unconsciously turned her still red and swollen cheek towards Ye Jinchen, hoping Ye Jinchen would pity and cherish her, and let her off because she was injured.
The corners of Ye Jinchen's mouth ticked up as he sonorously said, "President Xiao seems to have forgotten that the contract clearly states shops entering Yunhai Mall must abide by its rules. Those who violate the agreement, the mall has the right to revoke the venue usage rights."
"So President Xiao, it was your XJ who violated the contract first. If I give you another chance, it would set a precedent. If other businesses feel they can disregard the rules and just apologize to continue business as usual after, how could I operate this mall?"
"I'm a businessman. I won't take any risky actions that affect my interests. So President Xiao, let's end it at that."
Ye Jinmeng silently gave her brother a "like" after hearing him speak so decisively! Ah ah ah! Her brother is so cool!
"Chairman Ye..."
Xiao Wenyao's face paled at these words. His voice trembled as if he wanted to argue further, but he heard Ye Jinchen summon Auntie Chen, "Auntie Chen, see the guests out!"
Xiao Jianren also didn't expect Ye Jinchen to be so cold and ruthless. She could no longer maintain her grieved expression. She indignantly said, "Chairman Ye, our Xiao family's XJ brand is also quite famous in the clothing industry. It can also attract a lot of traffic to Yunhai Mall, continuously bringing benefits to the entire mall."
Seeing that Xiao Wenyao didn't stop her, Xiao Jianren grew bolder and more firmly stated, "Chairman Ye, you're a smart man. You should take the long view rather than lose a big fish like XJ for some country bumpkin without a penny."
Ye Jinmeng immediately sat up when she heard this. She jumped up from the sofa, furious that she actually dared to call Wanwan a country bumpkin in front of her. Her little face puffed up, just about to retort, but Ye Jinchen stopped her.
Xiao Jianren thought Ye Jinchen was persuaded and immediately had a smug look on her face.
Ye Jinchen stroked Ye Jinmeng's head to indicate she should keep her cool. Ye Jinmeng pouted. She glared fiercely at the smug Xiao Jianren before unhappily sitting back down on the sofa.
Ye Jinchen's face was no longer as gentle as before. It was a bit cold and his voice carried no warmth either.
"So this is how XJ treats its customers. What a coincidence, Yunhai Mall's philosophy is that all customers are equal, whether wealthy or impoverished. Anyone who comes to Yunhai is our guest."
His tone then shifted, "In the past year at Yunhai, XJ's sales have been negligible at best, not bringing me greater profits as Miss Xiao said."
"So President Xiao, instead of begging me, you'd be better off seriously considering XJ's design aesthetics and future prospects. There's nothing more to say. Please take your things and leave slowly!"
