Chapter 75: Who Is Ye Tianlin?

On the other side.

Li Jiaojiao swiftly sought out Zhang Kun, the vice president. As soon as she saw him, Li Jiaojiao decisively lodged her complaint in person.

Upon learning the whole story, Zhang Kun was momentarily stunned, then his expression revealed an unusual excitement.

"Vice President Zhang, you must stand up for me this time, settle this matter for me, and make the entire Su Rulan family get out of Yunhai Chamber of Commerce!" Li Jiaojiao demanded.

Zhang Kun raised a smile, stood up and patted his chest, laughing confidently, "I've been worrying about not having a chance to teach Ye Tianlin a lesson, and who would have thought the opportunity would come so quickly!"

"You have a grudge against Ye Tianlin?" Li Jiaojiao asked curiously.

"My brother-in-law, Chen Zhigang, used to be the deputy manager in the business department, remember? But Ye Tianlin fired him as soon as he took office, relying on his authority and showing me no respect at all!" Zhang Kun snorted coldly.

"Then I'll stay here and wait for you to handle it personally. This time, I must see with my own eyes the Su Rulan family being expelled from the chamber!" Li Jiaojiao said, her face full of anticipation.

"One must repay those who hire them and solve their troubles. Even without my personal grievance, I would surely help you deal with this. Rest assured," Zhang Kun promised with conviction.

With a clear answer, Li Jiaojiao stayed in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce to wait.

As for Zhang Kun, he immediately headed straight for the president's office, determined to give Ye Tianlin a hard blow this time!

Though Ye Tianlin indeed had authority, perhaps even some special backing, this issue had escalated enough to seriously harm the interests of the Shangjing Consortium. No matter how powerful Ye Tianlin's connections were, it would be useless now!

So, Zhang Kun arrived at the president's office and promptly knocked and entered.

At this moment, inside the office, a stern-faced, square-jawed middle-aged man sat upright in the main seat, meticulously reviewing the documents on his desk.

"President Shen, I have a very important matter to report!" Zhang Kun hurried forward, bending slightly. President Shen was not only the head of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, but also a senior executive in the Shangjing Consortium.

Due to his special status, President Shen was not always present at Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, as he also had to handle affairs for the Shangjing Consortium, constantly traveling between locations.

Therefore, most of the time, Zhang Kun as vice president managed the chamber's affairs, unless the problem escalated to a certain level, requiring President Shen's personal involvement.

This was also why Zhang Kun could simultaneously serve as the director responsible for all departments of the chamber!

Reporting to the president's office was essentially equivalent to reporting directly to the Shangjing Consortium!

"What problem has arisen?" Shen Wanjun put down his pen and glanced up.

Seeing this, Zhang Kun immediately assumed a solemn demeanor, "President Shen, do you recall the Wang family of Yandu I mentioned before? They're planning to expand their business in Jiangnan, and I've already agreed and signed the contract."

Midway through his speech, Zhang Kun put on an indignant expression and continued, "But unexpectedly, Ye Tianlin, the general manager of the business department, tore up the contract directly. This seriously damages the interests of the chamber, and the Shangjing Consortium's interests as well. He must be dealt with strictly!"

Shen Wanjun's face changed slightly at these words. He beckoned Zhang Kun over with a wave, "Come here!"

Zhang Kun's heart leaped with joy, and he eagerly leaned in.

But in the next instant, Shen Wanjun slapped Zhang Kun across the face.

Smack!

The sound of the slap echoed around, and Zhang Kun fell to the ground, utterly shocked.

"President Shen, what are you doing?" Zhang Kun staggered to his feet, clutching his face, utterly disheveled.

Shen Wanjun's anger was evident as he slammed his hand on the desk and rebuked, "Though you are the vice president and head of all departments, and manage Yunhai Chamber of Commerce most of the time, regarding the Wang family in Yandu, haven't you used your brain to think?"

"I mentioned it to you a few times before, and I thought you agreed, so I went ahead. Besides, what's wrong with cooperating with the Wang family?" Zhang Kun was at a loss.

"The problem is huge! Do you think the Shangjing Consortium is unaware? If there were a need for cooperation, would it be left to you? The consortium would have signed the contract long ago. What the consortium wants is to wait for the Wang family to collapse and then acquire their assets at a low price, not to waste time on cooperation!" Shen Wanjun said angrily.

Hearing this, Zhang Kun's face turned pale, feeling deeply embarrassed. He had never expected the consortium's plan to be like this—it was entirely beyond his anticipation.

"Since you've said so, President Shen, I admit it was my oversight. But Ye Tianlin didn't even notify me beforehand; he tore up the contract in public, humiliating me in front of everyone. How am I supposed to face anyone in the chamber after this?" Zhang Kun was full of resentment.

Shen Wanjun replied sternly, "Tearing up the contract was the right move. Besides, do you even know who Ye Tianlin is? Do you know why Yunhai Chamber of Commerce was founded in the first place?"

"Who is Ye Tianlin?" Zhang Kun shrank his neck, suddenly sensing an ominous feeling, his heart pounding uncontrollably.
