The people from the dark web, though living in the shadows, are quite professional in their dealings.
Their praise for Tang Xiaomin’s excellent condition was clearly not unfounded.
The list they provided was limited to individuals who had undergone medical examinations and had their data recorded at specific hospitals.
Ordinary people, if healthy, wouldn't visit a hospital regularly.
Tang Xu thought to himself, given Tang Xiaomin’s temperament, she would never willingly donate a kidney to Tang Yiyi.
With kidney sources so hard to find, what if Tang Yiyi couldn't wait any longer?
Tang Xu, who had just found a glimmer of hope, sank back into confusion.
He had repeatedly assured Tang Yiyi that he could save her.
But in reality, he was utterly powerless.
After a fortunate turn of events, he and Tang Yiyi had a new possibility.
Now, Tang Yiyi was ill.
Everything felt like a cruel joke played on him by fate.
What should he do?
...
Recently, Xianfu Group had sued several experts.
Netizens were also fervently discussing the funeral arrangements.
Some believed that funerals should be simple, with the money saved going to the living family members to live a better life.
Others argued that the loss of a family member was already a source of great sorrow, and a grand funeral was not only a sign of respect for the deceased but also a way for the living to remember them.
Still others suggested that one should act within their means.
If one had the money, what was wrong with a lavish funeral? Was it illegal?
...
At the same time, a thought-provoking topic emerged.
# The first flowers most men in the world receive are at their funerals. #
# What is the true meaning of a funeral? #
Ye Corporation.
Assistant Qiu entered with a grim expression to report the situation.
"Mr. Ye, the incident in Mingdu was investigated. It was not done by people from Xianfu Group. Evidence shows it was Ye Yuxing's doing."
Ye Yuxing was Ye Lingyun's father.
He openly obstructed plans, claiming it was for the group's benefit, and even sabotaged Ye Fengxing's efforts to consolidate the Mingdu market.
Ye Fengxing was facing both internal and external threats, and had been severely undermined by his own kin.
Casually, he broke the steel pen in his hand.
Assistant Qiu continued his report.
"Mr. Ye, Xianfu Group has responded to the online outcry. They plan to livestream a funeral online, claiming to uphold the final dignity of life. On that day, Ms. Tang Xiaomin, Xianfu Group's chief mortician, will personally appear." Su Dan Novel Network.
*Bang!*
Ye Fengxing slammed his hand on his desk in anger.
Assistant Qiu lowered his head, daring not to speak further.
Tang Xiaomin had actually become a chief mortician to salvage Xianfu Group's image.
What was so good about such a profession? Worth her dealing with unlucky corpses.
He flipped through the blueprints Tang Xiaomin had previously designed for Ye Corporation and studied them for a long time.
She was clearly such a talented person; why did she have to be his enemy?
Why did she have to be with that man?
Was she truly willing to touch corpses for that man’s company?
"Get out!"
Not long after Assistant Qiu left, several more men filed into the office.
Led by Ye Yuxing, they were a group of Ye Corporation shareholders united.
Ye Corporation's strength stemmed from the support of the Ye family.
However, their support was not unconditional.
Ye Fengxing looked at them with an inscrutable gaze.
"What, are you trying to rebel?"
His long-held position of power exuded immense pressure.
Although Ye Yuxing and the others had mustered their courage, they were still far inferior in presence to Ye Fengxing.
They exchanged glances, signaling Ye Yuxing to take the lead.
Ye Yuxing, a man in his fifties, had made thorough preparations for this pressure.
"Fengxing, your unilateral actions have caused considerable losses to the group."
"Everyone has seen your capabilities. However, regarding the matter of targeting Xianfu Group, haven't you gone too far and invited unnecessary trouble?"
"Xianfu Group is not to be trifled with, especially after their collaboration with Mr. Pan. Mr. Pan's company has already entered Modu, causing significant impact on many of our group's projects. I'm sure you've seen all the data."
A company with sufficient strength wanting to share in the Modu pie was not something that could be easily blocked.
Originally, Ye Fengxing’s plan was to collaborate with Mr. Pan. In the future, even if traditional industries declined, Ye Corporation's future could successfully transform by riding on Mr. Pan's coattails.
Who would have thought that Tang Xiaomin not only thought along the same lines but also snatched away the cooperation he was determined to secure.
...
Facing the shareholders' accusations, it would be impossible for Ye Fengxing to say he felt no pressure.
"Instead of coming to me, you should use your brains to figure out how to navigate the current situation."
"Even if I were to step down from this position, who has the confidence to do better than me?"
Even a rabbit bites when cornered.
Ye Fengxing was the largest shareholder. At worst, he could cash out and leave, still being the richest man in Modu.
A few words left the shareholders speechless.
"Cough cough..."
One of the shareholders coughed twice.
"We are here to discuss countermeasures, not to force you out. The current situation requires us to address difficulties. We are all in the same boat."
"We don't want to put pressure on you, but with the New Year only two months away, this situation cannot continue."
The New Year was a time for distributing profits.
Given the current circumstances, this year's performance was likely to be far from satisfactory, leading to great disappointment.
The shareholders' primary concern was money.
As for who occupied the position, they didn't really care.
Ye Fengxing gave them a disdainful look. "If you have nothing else to say, leave. I need to work."
The shareholders exchanged glances and departed.
Ye Yuxing expressed his disappointment at their lack of resolve.
When they were out of earshot, he brought up the old matter again.
"Gentlemen, I don't know what Old Master Ye is thinking, but he insists on opposing Xianfu Group. And Ye Fengxing, he insisted on setting up a funeral company, bringing bad luck to Ye Corporation."
"Now that Xianfu Group and Mr. Pan are fighting back, targeting Ye Corporation together and dividing market share, it's all trouble caused by those two."
The shareholders were also helpless.
"Alas, Old Ye, we are investors. According to regulations, we have no right to interfere with internal group matters."
"If we can't see any returns, we can only cash out and run. What we can think of, Fengxing can surely think of as well. Give him some more time."
"However, if you can accomplish a few impressive things, we old fellows will certainly support you."
...
In his office, Ye Fengxing personally called Tang Xiaomin.
This time, Tang Xiaomin answered.
"What is it?"
Tang Xiaomin's tone was as calm as ever, as if they were not adversaries.
Ye Fengxing questioned Tang Xiaomin.
"Mr. Pan quietly opening his company in Modu, that was your plan too, wasn't it?"
