Chapter 40: Two Intrepid Men

Cheng Anya’s heart thumped and she felt a little uneasy.

Ye, Yang, Tang, and Lin were the four big families and they divided City A into four parts: north, south, east and west. They formed four powerful influences and never interfered with each other.

Even though they were world-renowned and had a great impact in City A, they might not have had any interactions with each other.

Just like Ye Chen and Yang Zekun, they had been fighting to outdo each other for the past two years. Although it was not the first time they met, it was the first time they were formally shaking hands with each other!

Yang Zekun, Yao Hua Group’s general manager, was a modest gentleman with graceful disposition. He was the most ideal dream lover of many upper-class society’s socialites.

Although Yang Zekun and Ye Chen belonged to different types, both of them were matched in strength, capable, courageous, and charming.

There was a saying spreading around the upper-class society.

All the madams wanted their daughters to marry Yang Zekun, and they themselves wanted to marry Third Young Master Ye.

“There was insider news spreading long ago that Master Yang would most certainly get the tender for the construction site at Bei Gang. MBS admits defeat convincingly.” Ye Chen smiled slightly.

“Third Young Master Ye is speaking too seriously. You gave up on Bei Gang because you’ve set your sights on the sweet spot, Repulse Bay. I just happened to pick it up cheaply thanks to you showing mercy.”

“Master Yang is being too humble.”

“Likewise!”

…

Both men had smiles on their face as they downplayed the two projects that caused the stock market crash and many companies go bankrupt in City A for the past three months.

Successful men had a charm. They could always hide their real thoughts and showed an elegant smile.

Just like Yang Zekun.

Just like Ye Chen.

MBS and Yao Hua Group had been fighting for these projects since the beginning. Both parties devoted all their resources, undermined each other, manipulated the stock market’s transactions, and disorganized the market’s equilibrium price. They made a tremendous mess and gained profits from it eventually.

Even though Cheng Anya only caught the last train, she could feel the thrill of the fights. The smell of smoke was thick.

In the end, the two of them smiled as if it did not matter.

This must be what they called powerhouse!
