CHAPTER 1591: CHAPTER 1591: DEFEATING YE QILAN (1)

Du Qingyu couldn’t close her eyes for the entire night, staring at the ceiling until dawn.

In the end, nothing happened, which surprised her. She felt like a prisoner waiting for execution, knowing she was going to die, but unaware of the exact day she wouldn’t wake up.

She regretted not having taken more direct action against Ye Qilan back then, and even more for not having killed Ye Qilan outright; otherwise, she wouldn’t be in such an untenable position now...

Ye Qilan had just started work when Assistant Luo informed him that Bei Mother had come early and wanted to see him.

Ye Qilan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, roughly guessing that Bei Mother was there because of the Northern Group and Beichuan.

He met Bei Mother in the office.

As soon as Bei Mother saw Ye Qilan, she displayed a kind smile: "Sisi, you’re here, made me wait."

"Auntie, please have a seat." Ye Qilan smiled slightly and personally poured her a cup of tea.

Bei Mother couldn’t take her eyes off the dignified Ye Qilan. If only Beichuan were half as sensible and stable as Ye Qilan.

"When you were young, you were particularly cold-hearted. But as you’ve grown, you’ve become more and more humane, and I think your wife deserves a lot of credit." Bei Mother’s words deepened Ye Qilan’s smile.

"Auntie, you noticed it too?" Ye Qilan asked with a smile.

"Auntie has been through it and watched you all grow up. How could I not know your character? If Beichuan was half as sensible as you, I wouldn’t be worried. This time he upset you again, and you only gave him a minor punishment—I’m aware. He was the one who first stole your business, and you just retaliated. You’re in the right; he doesn’t know his limits and deserves a lesson!" Bei Mother did not spare Beichuan from criticism.

Given Ye Qilan’s methods, he could have been harsher. This time, he only exerted pressure on Beichuan in the secondary market, showing that he still left some leeway for the Bei Family and Beichuan.

"Auntie, I respect you. As for my grudge with Beichuan, to be honest, I don’t want to alarm your elder generation. To be frank, my business rival now is Xiao Ji. Beichuan insisted on cooperating with Xiao Ji, and therefore, I must treat Beichuan as my opponent."

Of course, Ye Qilan respected Bei Mother greatly.

Bei Mother is a heroine in the business world, with both courage and capability, far surpassing Beichuan.

Upon hearing Ye Qilan’s explanation, Bei Mother immediately understood the stakes. It turns out Xiao Ji was using Beichuan as a pawn, which is why Beichuan abruptly took over Ye Qilan’s business?

"Sisi, Auntie understands that this matter is not your fault. I’ll talk to Beichuan, and if he insists on being obstinate, I’ll revoke his authority. The Northern Group’s decades-old reputation cannot be ruined by his idleness." Bei Mother said, standing up: "Auntie won’t disturb your work any longer."

"Auntie, I’ll see you out." Ye Qilan did not try to retain her, escorting Bei Mother to the elevator.

After leaving Jufeng Group, Bei Mother headed straight to the chairman’s office of the Northern Group.

Beichuan was teasing his pretty secretary in his office, and as the door was suddenly pushed open, he was about to lose his temper when he saw the angry face of his own mother.

"Look at yourself, what have you become?! Beichuan, you’re already in your thirties, and besides fooling around with women, can you tell me about any accomplishments you’ve achieved? The Northern Group has been incurring losses year after year; are you aware of the recent economic losses?" Bei Mother couldn’t hide her disappointment witnessing Beichuan’s lack of progress.
