Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite. Ai Xiangming knows more or less about the situation of the Ye family. Before the ceremony, he had seen the family situation of the winning student. At that time, she did not know that Ye Yu was Meng Xionghua's granddaughter. At that time, he was curious about why she could take the college entrance examination in Chengdu.
"I remember Mr. Ye's wife is from the overseas Yan family. How come his daughter is Mr. Meng's granddaughter?"
After receiving a distinguished guest, Ai Xiangming had some free time and sat aside, looking at the documents handed over by his assistant. From time to time he looked in the direction of Ye Bowen and Meng Xionghua, with the assistant and Ai Hao following closely behind.
"I checked this before. Mr. Ye's ex-wife was Mr. Meng's daughter. Later, his ex-wife passed away and took the Yan family's daughter. After that, the Ye family went to a higher level in the business world and almost became one of the top three in the Beijing circle in the past few years. One of the big tycoons, all thanks to the Yan family. There is very little information about this daughter in the Beijing circle. Most of them are about how outstanding his sons are. This is probably the reason why this ex-wife’s daughter is raised in her ex-wife’s house.”
The assistants were basically investigating business-related information. Naturally, they would not pay too much attention to an insignificant person like Ye Yu. If it weren't for Ai Hao taking the college entrance examination and getting the top score, they probably wouldn't pay too much attention to the Ye family's family information in this life.
The assistant reported the information about other people one by one. Several of the students' families had relatively successful businesses, but most of them had no business cooperation with the Ye family. They might have met them at some business meetings, but they all Not much contact. Ai Xiangming is a businessman and does not make friends without benefits.
Ai Hao sat aside and listened quietly, silently looking in Ye Yu's direction.
Ten minutes before the ceremony started, the governor arrived, and everyone gathered around him. Meng Xionghua was no exception. Although he was not the governor's teacher, the two of them had met many times.
After some greetings, the ceremony began. Various leaders made speeches and important figures spoke. It took nearly an hour. Then came the awarding session. The top three were awarded by the governor in person. In addition to bonuses, there were also various certificates for good students.
Most of the students who won the prize this time were from Chengdu, so the prizes from the province and the city were awarded together. When the students returned, there would also be prizes from the school.
Ye Yu calculated the bonus she could get. Although it was not as much as the top prize, it was nearly two million in total. This was the first time she had made money based on knowledge, and she was very happy.
The whole ceremony took nearly three hours to end. The province and city paid great attention to this award, as did the reporters and media. After all, the son of the richest man was the top pick, and such big news was enough for them to write articles for several months.
After the ceremony, almost all the people in the political circles left quickly. After all, if they stayed longer, they were afraid that someone would write something maliciously. Entrepreneurs who come to make connections are different. It's rare to attend an award ceremony that brings together big figures in politics, business, and academia, so they must seize the opportunity.
Meng Xionghua here was originally planning to take his family back when he was done, but he couldn't bear the number of people who came to ask for help.
Ye Yu was leisurely calculating her bonus. Although she was outstanding, outstanding people like her had long been commonplace in the eyes of adults, and she had long been forgotten in a corner.
Meng Yanchen, on the other hand, was very busy. He had met countless figures from the education and political circles in various competitions before and today.
"Ye Yu, come with me!"
Ye Yu was happy when Ye Bowen came with a serious look on his face, not showing the slightest joy that his daughter had taken the second place in the province.
"What are you doing, Mr. Ye? If you don't want to discuss business, why are you looking for someone like me who has nothing to do?"
Ye Yu's face turned dark. She didn't want to say another word to him. If possible, it would be best if she never saw this man who never gave her father's love.
"Is this the way you talk to your dad? Even if you move your household registration, I will still be your dad."
Ye Yu rolled her eyes at Ye Bowen, got up and walked out. There were too many people around. If the two of them got into an argument later, she would get her grandparents into trouble, so it was better to find a place where no one was around.
The two of them left the banquet hall, entered the corridor, and climbed two more floors.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Ye Yu looked impatient.
"You can't tell, Ye Yu, she's hiding it very deep!"
Ye Bowen didn't know that his daughter's grades were so good. After junior high school, she came back with almost zero points on the test paper, which gave the teachers a headache. If the Ye family hadn't been a bit powerful, she would have been expelled from the school long ago. Today was also the time to award awards, and he found out that his daughter actually ranked second in the province.
"I'm not hiding it at all, it's just that you never pay attention to me. It's better to pay more attention to your sons. They are excellent and will definitely bring glory to your Ye family in the future."
She had excellent grades since childhood and skipped a grade. She was so outstanding that she was considered a genius in the eyes of her teachers and the envy of her classmates. But she was never praised by him or her grandparents when she came home. It was just because she was a daughter and no one cared about her. No one praised.
"Haha, I thought you had changed after living with your grandparents for a while, but you are still so ignorant of your elders. Ye Yu, pay attention to the attitude of your words."
Ye Bowen was very dissatisfied with Ye Yu's attitude. Ye Yu used to be so angry with him. She would talk like this to all the elders in the family, and even sometimes did so on important occasions. After that, he would never take her to any need. Important business gathering with family.
During the award ceremony, she behaved very generously and appropriately. Whether she was speaking or communicating with the governor, her calmness and casualness reminded her of her mother. She was so outstanding that everyone focused on her. But when it came time to talk to his father, he turned back into the boy who only knew how to cause trouble, and the anger in his heart rose instantly.
"Do you need to pay attention? Have you respected me? Respect is mutual. If you have something to say, I have to leave. Grandpa will not be able to find me in a while!"
Ye Yu didn't expect to see Ye Bowen and Yan Shiyu here. She was angry when she thought about how Yan Shiyu had just pretended to be a gentle stepmother in front of others, and no one secretly warned her not to covet the Ye family's things. She has nothing to do with the Ye family anymore, so why does that woman still think that she is interested in the Ye family's property?
Is getting good grades and becoming better just to prepare for fighting for family property in the future? These people are full of conspiracy theories.
Now Ye Bowen came to see her. Ye Yu thought it was probably because of her grandfather. This was the first time she had seen such a domineering and arrogant grandfather. The governor respected him very much. Ye Bowen probably wanted to repair the relationship as well.
"When you're free, go back and see your great-grandmother. She's getting worse and worse, and she keeps talking about you. And all the inheritance in her old man's hands is going to be left to you. A will has also been made. Among her properties is a portion of the group. I hope you just give up the shares and regard it as the kindness the Ye family has given you in raising you over the years."
Grandma-in-law is the only elder in the Ye family who has ever felt sorry for Ye Yu. She is now over ninety years old. Unfortunately, the Ye family has a large population and complicated relationships, so they did not give her too much care. If there was anyone else Ye Yu could visit after returning to the Ye family, it was only her great-grandmother. However, she didn't expect that Ye Bowen came to her not for family affection, but for property.
Ye Yu knew that Ye Bowen couldn't hold back his farts.
"Of course I don't care about property, but you really can't hide your ugly face. I really think everyone is like you, only money and interests are in their eyes. It's really disgusting!"
"Snapped!"
Before Ye Yu could finish her words, Ye Bowen gave her a crisp slap in the face.
