History
Acquisition by the Ye Family
The Ye Family acquired Dihao Group in full and placed every share in Ye Chen’s name. Tang Sihai informed him of the transfer while offering him ten billion yuan in living expenses. After learning that the Xiao Family desperately wanted a Dihao partnership, Ye Chen decided to use the company to improve Xiao Churan’s standing within her family 2.
Ye Chen arrived the following morning to take over. Wang Dongxue, whose work had contributed substantially to the company’s success, remained in office to assist him. His first public announcement disclosed only that the new chairman’s surname was Ye 3 4.
Termination of Existing Partnerships
Wang Yunfei and Xiao Weiwei mocked Ye Chen outside the company, unaware that he was its new owner. When Ye Chen learned they had come to visit Wang Dongxue, he ordered all ongoing and planned cooperation with the Wang Family terminated. Security expelled the pair, and Wang Yunfei was barred from returning 3 4.
The Wang Family had earned more than half its profits through Dihao Group. Losing that business reduced its strength by more than half, dropping it from near first-tier standing to the bottom of Jinling’s second-tier families. Ye Chen rewarded Wang Dongxue’s handling of the matter by doubling her salary 4.
Ye Chen later ordered the Zhang Family excluded from the new hotel project and all future cooperation. Although Zhang Wenhao claimed his family could secure work for Xiao Churan, his father had no such influence over Dihao’s decisions. By the time of the Xiao Family banquet, the Zhang Family had learned that its dealings with Dihao had been suspended 7 8 18.
Hotel Project and the Xiao Group Contract
Dihao announced a two-billion-yuan investment to build a six-star hotel in Jinling, opening bidding to construction and renovation companies throughout the city. The announcement attracted widespread interest, including from Old Madam Xiao, who offered a director’s position to anyone who secured a thirty-million-yuan share 4 5.
Acting on Ye Chen’s instructions, Wang Dongxue welcomed Xiao Churan and offered a prepared renovation contract worth sixty million yuan—twice the Xiao Family’s target. Dihao’s verified public account confirmed Xiao Churan as the project’s first partner representative, disproving her relatives’ accusations that she had forged the agreement 8 9 10.
At the celebration banquet, Old Madam Xiao instead appointed Xiao Hailong to oversee the partnership. Following Ye Chen’s intervention, Wang Dongxue publicly canceled the agreement because Xiao Churan had been replaced. Cooperation resumed only after the family agreed to put Churan in charge; Old Madam Xiao then publicly appointed her director 20 21 22.
Dong Ruolin’s Arrival
Dong Ruolin joined Dihao ostensibly to work in administration. Her family’s actual objective was for her to approach the mysterious chairman, whom they knew to be the Ye Family’s rediscovered young master, and potentially establish a marriage alliance 28 32.
Ye Chen asked Wang Dongxue to investigate Ruolin’s background. When Ruolin requested a meeting with the chairman during onboarding, Wang Dongxue warned him of her interest, prompting him to limit contact and protect his identity 28 32.
Wang Donghai’s Dismissal
At Wang Daokun’s restaurant opening, Wang Tengfei boasted about his father’s authority at Dihao and his own plans to obtain building-material supply contracts. After Wang Tengfei mocked him, Ye Chen privately instructed Wang Dongxue to dismiss Wang Donghai 39 41.
Wang Donghai was subsequently found to have used his position for personal gain. Dihao’s legal department sued him, and the police arrested him 43.
