At this moment, Li Song was on pins and needles. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to confess the matter to Ye Feng.

"Chairman Ye, it was with my approval that He Chunqing was transferred back to Liancheng City. I misjudged him!"

After speaking, he carefully observed Ye Feng's reaction.

Ye Feng merely smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "I don't blame you for this!"

Ye Feng understood Li Song quite well, even though they hadn't seen each other for years. The fact that Li Song maintained his principles even under the threat of life and death was something Ye Feng greatly admired.

Li Song breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed again and continued, "It's all my wife's fault. She nags me every night before bed. Otherwise, I would never have chosen him!"

Ye Feng chuckled knowingly and said, "I understand!"

Everyone has a bit of selfishness like Li Song, and Ye Feng naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

Ye Feng could overlook these details when employing people, and he could tolerate certain things.

However, the ability to get things done and basic principles must be adhered to.

This time, he needed to remove He Chunqing, not to hold Li Song accountable.

"It's getting late. You should go home and spend a good New Year with your families. Take your two flashy cars away; they're too eye-catching!"

Ye Feng spoke, ushering them out.

The two CEOs of billion-dollar companies looked helpless.

They had originally wanted to stay a little longer, but seeing that Ye Feng seemed unwilling, they hurriedly got up.

Ye Feng escorted them downstairs.

"Chairman Ye, why not let the company arrange a better house for you after the New Year? This place is too simple!"

Zheng Guozhong suggested as they went downstairs.

"Let's talk about it later, there's no rush."

Ye Feng replied calmly.

Hearing this, Zheng Guozhong had to drop the subject.

The two of them then said goodbye to Ye Feng at the door.

Two expensive luxury cars left one after the other.

Ye Feng turned back into the house and organized the gifts the two had prepared.

There were quite a few items, including tea, wine, a lot of nourishing supplements, and traditional Chinese medicine.

The tea was a special Da Hong Pao from Wuyi Mountain, costing tens of thousands per pound. Without fancy packaging, it looked rather plain and not like something valuable.

It was hand-fried by an old tea farmer at the place of origin, making it hard to find on the market. People who don't understand tea would find it difficult to see its value.

There were a few bottles of foreign wine, Louis XIII, each priced around 30,000 yuan.

There were also some supplements like deer antler and wild ginseng, with two particularly precious golden bear gallbladders.

Wild bear gallbladders have long been banned, with many being artificially farmed, which greatly reduces their medicinal value.

Such bear gallbladders are hard to come by!

The two bear gallbladders brought by Zheng Guozhong were clearly from the wild, entirely golden, which Ye Feng could tell at a glance.

Then there was a rare fish maw, about one foot long, extremely rare, with a market price of at least six figures.

Ye Feng divided these gifts into three parts: one part with tea, wine, and the fish maw was prepared for Tu Yongheng.

Then he prepared a part with deer antler and one bear gallbladder to give to Liu Po later.

The remaining bear gallbladder and some supplements were left for Mr. Tu.

Ye Feng made a call to Tu Yongheng, and after notifying him, he picked up the bag of gifts and prepared to go out.

After thinking for a moment, he also stuffed the red envelope left by Tu Yongheng earlier into the bag.

Ye Feng's home was at the front of the alley, while Tu Yongheng's was at the end, about a hundred meters apart.

Tu Yongheng's home was also an old building from decades ago, without any decoration.

The grandfather who adopted him had passed away a few years ago, leaving only this house.

Tu Yongheng and his wife had already bought a house in the provincial capital, where they worked and lived.

They only returned during holidays to pay respects to his grandfather.

When Ye Feng arrived at the door, he saw a woman clearing the clutter piled up at the entrance.

This should be Tu Yongheng's wife.

Ye Feng hadn't met her before, so he didn't recognize her.

He couldn't help but take a look. She was wearing pink fleece pajamas, about 1.6 meters tall.

She wasn't particularly pretty, but not unattractive either, the kind of woman who grows on you.

She had a gentle and graceful air about her, looking somewhat elegant.

The woman also saw Ye Feng and was visibly startled, asking, "Who are you?"

Before Ye Feng could speak, Tu Yongheng poked his head out from inside and said, "Fengzi, you're here, come in and have a seat!"

He then hurried out to invite Ye Feng in.

He then shyly introduced, "This is my wife, you can just call her Wanling!"

"So, you're the girl!"

"I'm a buddy of Ah Heng's since childhood."

Ye Feng grinned and said.

Hearing Ye Feng's words, the woman was clearly taken aback and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ye Feng, looking surprised.

She had been back for two days and had often heard the neighbors talk about Ye Feng.

They all said Ye Feng was a murderer, extremely vicious, with many cases of murder and crimes on his hands.

Some even advised her not to let their family Yongheng associate with Ye Feng, saying he was a real villain.

When she heard these words, Wanling imagined the person to be burly, with a fierce and menacing appearance.

Seeing him today was a complete surprise; he was tall and upright, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a gentle and refined demeanor.

It was truly shocking, as this person was completely different from what others had described.

Indeed, rumors are not to be trusted!

Wanling thought to herself.

After a slight daze, Wanling quickly reacted, smiling warmly, "I've heard Yongheng talk about you a lot before, come in and have a seat!"

Ye Feng nodded and then walked inside.

The interior was also very simple, but relatively tidy, likely cleaned thoroughly after Tu Yongheng returned.

"Fengzi, you didn't have to bring so many things!"

Tu Yongheng said, looking at the bag Ye Feng was carrying.

"These are gifts from some friends, I have more on my side, so I thought I'd bring you a share. Just keep them!"

Ye Feng placed the packages on the table.

There were quite a few items, including a box of tea, two bottles of wine, and the yellow fish maw.

Aside from the two bottles of wine, the tea and fish maw didn't look like anything valuable.

They didn't even have packaging, looking like homemade local specialties.

Seeing this, Tu Yongheng didn't say much, assuming they were just some inexpensive items.

As a teacher, Tu Yongheng didn't know much about wine and wouldn't know that those two bottles of foreign wine were worth half a year's salary.

As for the fish maw, it was even more priceless, something money couldn't easily buy.

Soon, Wanling brought Ye Feng some tea. Despite hearing many rumors about Ye Feng, she was still very hospitable.

After chatting with Tu Yongheng for a while, Ye Feng said his goodbyes, as he still needed to visit Liu Po and Mr. Tu.

Watching Ye Feng's departing figure, Wanling finally said after a long pause, "Honey, he doesn't seem like what the neighbors say. He carries himself with great poise, not like a bad person at all."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. I grew up with Fengzi; I know what kind of person he is!"

"Oh!"

Wanling responded softly and walked over to the table, examining the items Ye Feng had brought.

When she saw the fish maw, she was instantly stunned.
