Chapter 512: Meeting Between Father and Son


The two girls looked at He Xiyan at the same time and there was a strange twinkle in their eyes.


“h.e.l.lo, Mrs. Ye!” they said in unison.


He Xiyan didn’t know what to say.


She stood frozen to the spot and stared at the two girls in surprise. She didn’t understand why they would address her in this way.


“h.e.l.lo,” she still greeted them and shook their hands in spite of her bewilderment.


“I’m He Xiyan,” she said and introduced herself.


The two girls nodded.


The biracial girl said with a smile, “We know. The Human Resources Department has already informed us. Welcome to our team.” Her smile seemed very elegant and friendly.


This was not He Xiyan’s first job but she felt unusually excited.


She sat down, turned on her computer and started to work.

At the same time, Ye Hao entered his office. His office was extremely s.p.a.cious and it was at least 80 square meters.


His complexion didn’t look too good and also seemed a little fatigued. He had taken some flu medication the night before and although he felt slightly better, he was still a little exhausted.


Someone was already in his office and this person had once been extremely influential within the corporate circles of Ye City and he was still widely regarded in those circles as a venerated elder.


“Dad… what are you doing here?” Ye Hao looked at his father who was browsing through a medical journal on the sofa. He was surprised to see his father here because he had not informed him that he would be visiting and had not called him before he swung by.


Ye Zhiyuan patted the empty s.p.a.ce beside him on the sofa and gestured for his son to take a seat.


Ye Hao looked a little hesitant but he still went over.


“Dad…” he started and he had already guessed the reason behind his father’s visit.


Ye Snr. coughed a couple of times and his complexion seemed terrible and there was a black-purplish tinge to his skin. He no longer looked as energetic as he did before, so it was clear that his condition had worsened.


The doctor had predicted that he had about three to five years left to live more than a year ago. It had only been slightly more than a year but his physical condition had worsened and he didn’t seem as animated as before.


“Ah Hao…” Ye Snr. patted his son’s sleeve and said weakly. “I came to see how the company was doing under your care and also to speak to your about your brother.”


Ye Snr. coughed again and his voice had already grown hoa.r.s.e. It wasn’t clear whether his throat was irritated because of his illness or because of something else.


Ye Snr. paused for a moment before he said, “Your brother came to visit me yesterday and threw a huge tantrum at Qin Gardens. I know that he blames me for being biased and for not lending him support since I didn’t give him the shares and a.s.sets that he deserved.”


Ye Snr. went straight to the point. He already had one foot in the grave and did not want to see any internal conflict within his family.


“So, do you want me to lend him the 300 million US dollars he wants?” Ye Hao said. He had already known that this had to be the reason behind his father’s sudden visit.


Ye Snr. pursed his lips and his eyes were no longer as sharp or authoritative as they were in the past. Instead, under the ravages of time, his eyes were now filled with regret.


He looked at his son and finally nodded without any hesitation after a while.
