Chapter 160 of Volume 4: Your seating position is incorrect

  This sentence hit Ye Changfu's heart, and he was most proud of this point. He smiled with pride and said in a very subtle tone: "Secretary Li is overpraising me, I'm just doing my job honestly." His words were simple, but the sarcasm was still audible. He meant that other corporate leaders didn't do their jobs honestly. Liu Fei somewhat agreed with this, but Ye Changfu's tone and the arrogance between his eyebrows made Liu Fei uncomfortable. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he thought no one in Xishan County had any ability except for him, Ye Changfu.

  At this time, Wu Yongde also chimed in: "What Director Ye said is right. Director Ye is the most serious person I've seen among these companies. Unlike some company leaders who only care about appearances and don't pay attention to product quality."

  Liu Fei smiled and nodded, suddenly asking: "Director Ye, what are the main products your company is producing now?"

  When Liu Fei asked this, Ye Changfu furrowed his brow. The implication of these words was that County Chief Liu seemed to have a tone of giving orders, which made him somewhat dissatisfied. So when he spoke, he also had some emotions: "Oh, actually it's nothing much, mainly we use the special product of Xishan County - chestnuts as the main raw material to produce canned chestnuts, dried chestnuts, and chestnut powder."

  Liu Fei also heard the dissatisfaction in Ye Changfu's tone, but he didn't mind and just smiled faintly: "Oh, that's okay, as long as there's a market for it. I heard from someone in the provincial government recently that the Provincial Science and Technology Department has identified a new project related to chestnuts. The name of the project is 'Research on extracting nutritional substances from chestnuts using solid-state negative pressure distillation and separation technology to produce chestnut wine'. This project was unanimously approved by a panel of experts, who believed that this technology fills a gap in domestic fruit wine production and is at an advanced level internationally. It aligns with the country's sustainable development strategy, opens up new areas for deep processing of chestnuts, and has significant social benefits." After finishing speaking, Liu Fei fell silent again.

  However, after Liu Fei's words fell, Ye Changfu suddenly fell into deep thought. Liu Fei's words were like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly cutting through the single pattern of chestnut processing that had troubled Ye Changfu for many years and was fundamentally unsolvable.

  Looking at Ye Changfu falling into deep thought, Wu Yongde was a bit dissatisfied. In his eyes, Liu Fei was just a boy who hadn't even grown a decent beard, and yet he dared to point fingers and draw pictures in front of him. It was simply unreasonable. So he stood up and said: "Well, Director Ye, I've finished eating, I'll take my leave first."

  Ye Changfu was originally thinking about what Liu Fei had just said, when he suddenly heard Wu Yongde's unhappy tone and knew that something was going to go wrong. He must have been too carried away with his words to County Magistrate Liu earlier and offended Manager Wu, so he hurriedly apologized. However, Wu Yongde insisted on leaving. Wu Yongde's attitude was very clear - he was extremely displeased with Liu Fei's appearance and thought that he should be the center of attention for the entire dinner party. But he hadn't expected that after Liu Fei came out, one sentence would pull Ye Changfu's attention away from him.

  It's clear that this meeting is going to end in failure. This made Liu Fei and Ye Changfu extremely angry. Neither of them had expected that Wu Yongde would give up on the cooperation they had previously agreed upon just because of such a small incident. Wu Yongde was really too arrogant. At the same time, Ye Changfu's dissatisfaction with Liu Fei had reached a boiling point. He glared at Liu Fei angrily, thinking to himself that if it weren't for Liu Fei's insistence on attending this meeting, things wouldn't have ended up in such an impasse.

  At this moment, the door of the private room opened and a stunning beauty walked in. Behind her, several deputy county magistrates led by Zhang Qunshu, vice governor of Xishan County, followed closely, surrounding the beauty as she approached Liu Fei's side.

  Everyone in the room suddenly turned around.

  Liu Fei didn't turn around, because smelling the familiar body fragrance coming from behind him, Liu Fei knew that Xue Lingyun had entered.

  Xue Lingyun came in and smiled at everyone, saying: "Hello everyone, I'm here to toast County Magistrate Liu."

  After finishing, Xue Lingyun came to Liu Fei's front, holding a glass of red wine and throwing a flirtatious glance at Liu Fei, smiling and saying: "County Magistrate Liu, thank you for the trust and support from you and the leaders of Xishan County towards our Xin Yuan Group. In the future, our Xin Yuan Group will closely unite around County Magistrates Liu and Zhang to make efforts for the economic takeoff of Xishan County."

  Liu Fei also stood up with a smile, and couldn't help but find it amusing that Xue Lingyun was being playful at times. However, in this situation, he didn't want others to know about his relationship with Xue Lingyun, so he raised his glass and clinked it against hers, saying: "Well, let's toast to a successful cooperation between our county and the Xin Yuan Group, and may our county's economy enter a new era."

  At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Liu Fei, the young county magistrate.

  Wu Yongde, who was originally full of pride in the room, disdainfully ignored Ye Changfu's persuasion and didn't even put Liu Fei, the young county magistrate, in his eyes. However, after seeing Xue Lingyun walk in, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise, almost disbelieving his own eyes. He stared at the stunning beauty standing not far away, thinking to himself: "How did she come here?" When he saw that this beauty actually personally toasted Liu Fei and expressed her intention for the Xin Yuan Group to develop in Xishan County, he was so shocked that he almost became stupid. He even thought about banging his head against the wall. Now he has started to regret it, regretting his rash decision.

  After drinking a glass of wine, Liu Fei smiled and asked Xue Lingyun: "Director Xue, I don't know what the relationship is between Xinyuan Supermarket Group and Xinyuan Group?"

  Xue Lingyun was also stunned by Liu Fei's question, staring at him with her big, bright eyes full of doubt and asking: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

  Xue Lingyun was very clear in her heart that the new Yuan Supermarket Group was established under Liu Fei's suggestion, and the reason why it could develop so quickly was fundamentally due to Liu Fei's overall planning for the supermarket. How could he not know? Moreover, Liu Fei owned 20% of the shares of the new Yuan Supermarket Group. However, looking at Liu Fei asking herself like this, Xue Lingyun knew that there must be a deeper meaning behind his words, so she cooperated with him.

  Liu Fei smiled and said, "That's right, Director Xue. Let me introduce you to this gentleman. He is Ye Changfu, the well-known entrepreneur from our county of Xi Shan." Then Liu Fei turned to Ye Changfu, who was still in a daze, and said, "Director Ye, this lady next to me is Miss Xue Lingyun, the CEO of Xin Yuan Group of Hebei Province and the Chairwoman of Xin Yuan Supermarket Group. Come on, let's get acquainted!"

  Ye Changfu was so shocked that his mouth was agape. Who doesn't know about the Xinyuan Group? It's the leading enterprise in the entire Henan Province! And this girl in front of him is actually the CEO of Xinyuan Group, and also the chairman of Xinyuan Supermarket Group. Oh my god, compared to this girl, the general manager beside him is basically just a boss and an employee.

  At this moment, Xue Lingyun's face was cold and expressionless. She raised her cup and said to Ye Changfu: "Director Ye, I originally came here today to tell you that your cooperation with the Xin Yuan Supermarket Group is invalid. However, since Mayor Liu has introduced us without holding any grudges, I will give him some face. From now on, as long as the products from Chunhui Canned Food Factory meet quality standards, our Xin Yuan Supermarket Group will prioritize purchasing them uniformly. But you must be clear that everything our Xin Yuan Group does in Xishan County is under the command of Mayor Liu Fei. Whatever he says, we will resolutely and unhesitatingly execute." After finishing her words, under everyone's astonished gaze, Xue Lingyun turned to Wu Yongde and said coldly: "President Wu, you can go back to the headquarters in Nanping City to submit your resignation letter. The group will give you all your shares, bonuses, and salary without deducting a single penny, and we will also pay you an additional year's salary!"

  Wu Yongde was stunned at that moment. Then suddenly his face was filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth to ask: "Director Xue, why?"

  Xue Lingyun coldly looked at him and said: "Because you're standing in the wrong position!"

  Wu Yongde was now furious and trembling with rage, his voice shaking as he asked: "What's wrong with where I'm sitting?"

  Xue Lingyun said coldly, "Why are you sitting in the host's seat and letting County Mayor Liu sit in the guest's seat? Do you think your status is more noble than County Mayor Liu's? If outsiders find out that people from Xinyuan Group can't even distinguish between host and guest, how will they look at us? Do you think being a small general manager of Xinyuan Supermarket Group makes you very powerful? I'm telling you, it doesn't matter how powerful you are in other counties or even in Hengyang City, but in Xishan County, in front of County Mayor Liu, doing this is asking for death! Alright, I don't want to say more. You can leave."

  Wu Yongde's forehead bulged with blue veins, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. In a hoarse voice, he bellowed: "Xue Lingyun, how dare you? I'm a veteran of the Xin Yuan Supermarket Group! I've made huge contributions to its development. How can you just kick me out with one sentence? How can you do this? I won't accept it! I, Wu Yongde, won't accept it! I'll go find Chairman Xue and complain!"

  Xue Lingyun smiled lightly: "Wu Yongde, what you said is not wrong. You are indeed a veteran of the group and have made great contributions to its development. However, don't forget that the group has also treated you well, giving you 3% of the shares, and every year giving you tens of millions in dividends. In addition to the tens of millions you embezzle from the group each year, your annual income is over ten million. Are you still not satisfied?"
