A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 800 Everything Changed

Before leaving, Qin Feng looked at Ye Tian and shook his head as he sighed, "My friend, you did something stupid. If you didn't drive him away, the Ye family would probably become the most powerful family in Jingzhou, and you would have a smooth and spectacular political career. But... forget it. Good luck, my friend."

Qin Feng deeply sighed as he patted Ye Tian's shoulder before he turned to leave.

Only a house filled with desolation stood behind him.

The first day of the Lunar New Year was undoubtedly the Ye family's bleakest day.

Everything that Ye Tian, Ye Ya and Ye Xi-Lan held dear to them were completely destroyed today.

Although it was the first day of Lunar New Year, and the table was laden with food, no one was in the mood to eat while the Ye family sat at the table.

The family was clearly still filled with fear over the events that transpired today.

"Tian, take my advice. Bring your siblings with you and apologize to Fan. Although he is proud, he is a sentimental child. If you apologize sincerely, you might still stand a chance to change things." Old Master Ye couldn't bear to see how tragically his children ended up.

So he attempted to persuade them.

"Sentimental?"

Ye Tian immediately laughed when he heard what Old Master Ye said.

His voice was filled with mockery.

"Dad, if Ye Fan were sentimental at all, he wouldn't have cornered us! Didn't Ya kneel and apologize to him? He wasn't moved at all!"

"But..." Old Master Ye wanted to convince Ye Tian otherwise but was interrupted.

"Dad, stay out of this. There's no way I will apologize to him. Moreover, we don't know for sure whether Secretary Ji will really remove me from my post. I simply don't believe that Ye Fan is important enough to make them fire me with just one word. Ya, Lanlan, don't worry. I think they were just scaring us, and nothing will happen. Let's not forget there is such a thing as the law. If we haven't broken any laws, what can they do to us? I don't think a young brat like Ye Fan holds so much power in Jiangdong," said Ye Tian indignantly.

Although he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke Ye Fan, it was impossible to make him apologize.

"Tian, you're right. Maybe it was just a false alarm. I just got a call from a client who wants to sign a contract with our factory," Ye Ya chimed in.

"Yup. Everything is going on normally for my husband too. Even the company's Lunar New Year gift has just arrived as per normal," said Ye Xi-Lan as she nodded.

"Fine. I'm too old to control you. You can do as you please. If anything bad happens, don't come begging me!"

Old Master Ye instantly blew up and left angrily when Ye Tian and the others refused to heed his advice.

Ye Tian and the others weren't too worried.

After all, Old Master Ye always had a temper.

"Don't bother him. Just save him some food. Come everyone, let's eat before the food gets cold," said Ye Tian as he started eating.

The night went by swiftly.

Everything was normal the next day.

Ye Ya's factory continued to deliver goods and receive goods.

Neither Ye Tian nor Jiang Yang received any notification of termination from their workplaces.

Just as Ye Tian and the others thought it was all a false alarm, a car came on the third day of the Lunar New Year and pulled up at their front door at night.

The disciplinary committee took Ye Tian away for investigation after that.

On the same night, the fire department, environmental protection agency, and many other government departments turned up to spot check Ye Ya's food factory. In the end, they were closed indefinitely because their sewage was a safety hazard.

Ye Xi-Lan's husband, Jiang Yang, received a termination letter from his company that night too.

Overnight, everything changed.

The entire Ye family instantly fell.

And it was all because they offended Ye Fan.

Ye Tian and the others were stupefied.

This slap in the face came so quickly that they were caught completely unaware!

Only now did they realize that everything Ye Fan said had come true.

Bad news always had the knack of traveling far with little effort.

Everyone in Yeyang quickly learned of the Ye family's demise.

Their neighbors couldn't help feeling sorry forthem.

No one would have guessed the reputable Ye family would end up collapsing so swiftly.

Ye Tian was removed from office and was under investigation, Ye Ya's company had been shut down, and even Ye Xi-Lan's husband lost his job.

Their good days were completely over.

"And who can they blame for their predicament?"

"They asked for it."

"Fan, was such a good kid. Instead, they didn't treasure him and picked on him ever since he was a child."

"They were too snobbish and don't deserve any pity for what befell them!"

"I just feel sorry for Old Master Ye for suffering such a tragic change at his age."

"It must be hard on him to have children like them..."

Some of them were sympathetic, while others rejoiced or gloated.

It was simply the ups and downs of life.

A few days later, another piece of shocking news reached Yeyang.

"Hey, Li. Have you heard? The nephew whom Old Master Ye's dumb kids drove away, opened a company!"

"What on earth? Are you for real? When did this happen?" "Of course, it's for real. My son just went over to support them yesterday. Their company is called Mufan Group. Its headquarters are in Yunzhou and it's managed by his wife. He just opened a branch office in Jingzhou yesterday, and his mother will be that branch's CEO."

"The fat boy from the Shin family, Shin Yu-Xiang, is the company GM and now drives a mil I ion-dollar luxury car. Can you believe that? My son said this company is worth a few hundred billion."

"What?"

"A hundred billion dollar company?"

"His mother is now a CEO?"

"His childhood friend is the GM?"

"And his wife is the CEO of the head office?"

"Everyone is successful because of how well connected he is!"

"Oh wow, the eldest nephew of the Ye family is amazing!"

"He transformed from an unloved abandoned child into an entrepreneur who started a company now worth hundreds of billions. God, he's good!"

The more the townsfolk gossiped, the more inconceivable it sounded to them.

They didn't think that such a dragon would really exist in their tiny little Yeyang.
