After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 244 I Don't Owe You Anything

Wei Yunmei was also torn between two conflicting emotions.

This... something she had never dared to even dream of in decades, was about to be decided by Ye Yifan with just a few words on this ordinary New Year's Eve dinner?

In fact, Wei Yunmei did have shares.

When Tang Jinkun was in power, he gave her a portion of the money because he believed that while his family was responsible for earning money outside, someone should also take care of things at home, and Wei Yunmei's contributions to the family deserved to be recognized.

As a result... after Tang Jinkun passed away, Ye Zheng wanted to take back power, and Wei Yunmei transferred her shares to Ye Zheng.

She was a traditional woman who put her husband first, and for most of her life she dared not go against Ye Zheng's wishes, plus she felt that no matter what, they were family...

Sometimes, Wei Yunmei feels a little lost, thinking about how men are the priority... Is that really the right thing to do?

Especially seeing that Tang Jinkun, who defied tradition, achieved real success, and that Ye Yifan, whom she taught, was no less capable than any man.

Her two daughters also don't listen to her at all.

Ye Jianghe is single-mindedly focused on her research and doesn't consider personal matters at all, but can we say she isn't a successful person?

Ye Xi is doing well, she's always dating. If you really try to get her to settle down, she'll just laugh it off.

But... can we say they're unhappy? Obviously not.

Wei Yunmei's gaze fell on Han Jingchun, the only person in the family whose situation was similar to hers.

Back then, she was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law, thinking that while the eldest son's family was earning money outside, the second son's family and the elders would be responsible for taking care of the household. Han Jingchun also provided a lot of help in this regard.

Until Ye Yanyu appeared, the other party seemed like a completely different person.

From then on, Han Jingchun outwardly obeyed them, but she was completely lifeless, as if this home was a cage for her.

As a woman living close to Han Jingchun, Wei Yunmei could certainly sense Han Jingchun's dissatisfaction.

But she doesn't regret persuading Han Jingchun not to divorce for the sake of family stability.

"I……"

Wei Yunmei was about to say, as usual, "You can arrange it, what do I, an old woman, know?" when she suddenly noticed Ye Zheng giving her a suspicious look.

She suddenly became angry.

For decades, Ye Zheng has remained the same!

He was always afraid that Wei Yunmei would make any money off him, even though it couldn't be called "making money" at all.

She has always lived a simple life; is that something she chooses to do?

If it weren't for the fact that everyone later felt she was too frugal and it made the Ye family lose face, she might still be wearing clothes from ten years ago.

While being thrifty is certainly admirable, they are already the richest people in the world. Does the concept of being thrifty still exist for them?

I, Wei Yunmei, don't want to make money off you, but I don't owe you anything either!

“I think it’s great,” Wei Yunmei said with a smile.

Ye Zheng and Ye Tian stared at her as if they had seen a ghost.

What's going on? Has some virus spread? She, who never fights or grabs anything, actually wants to sit at the table today?

Ye Yifan tapped on the table.

“Okay. Then Grandpa’s share will be divided among Grandma, eldest aunt, youngest aunt, second aunt, Fei Hua and San Qing, one percent each.”

She announced.

Ye Zheng was utterly shocked, forgetting all about maintaining his composure. "You're asking for an exorbitant price!"

Ye Yifan was too ruthless; he only left him two percent of the shares.

He originally had more than that, but after dividing it among his children and grandchildren, he now only has eight percent left.

"Didn't you set a precedent?"

Ye Yifan wasn't in a hurry, he just raised an eyebrow and said.

Since it's to be shared among everyone, Ye Zheng should be the one to pay.

In reality, she believed that Ye Zheng should only hold a maximum of one percent of the shares, as a way to support him in his old age.

Moreover, he himself wanted to give one percent to his grandson, so what's wrong with giving one percent to his granddaughter?

Besides, if we leave him too much, what if he gives it to Ye Wanyin? Wouldn't that be even worse?

Ye Hai found it quite amusing. His calculation was based on the family unit, which made him think that his family had gained an extra 2% of the shares.

"..." Ye Zheng and she stared at each other for a while.

His biggest concern wasn't the issue of diluted shares. Even if everyone had shares, they wouldn't be able to unite, and there was no need to worry about them being a disorganized mess.

And he's getting old... He originally intended to leave his will only to his sons and grandsons... but now it seems there's no way to do that.

Of course, committing suicide now would allow the already written will to take effect immediately, but Ye Zheng clearly wouldn't go that far for his children and grandchildren.

His biggest concern was that Ye Yifan had so many shares.

He originally thought that Ye Yifan only had 58% left, and that with a little more effort they could reach the dangerous line of controlling stake. He never expected that she would give Ye Yanyu's shares to Ye Sanqing!

That means she actually still has 60%...

If she gets married, the Ye family will have to change its surname.

"you……"

As if knowing what he was going to say, Ye Yifan waved his hand, "I won't get married. Even if I do, it will be the other party marrying into the family. Are you satisfied now?"

The latter explanation was naturally her way of comforting them, because as someone Ye Zheng's age, he simply couldn't understand that there was such a thing as not getting married.

"Besides, getting married means giving up everything... I don't have that kind of morality."

Ye Yifan suddenly stared at Ye Tian and Ye Zheng and said.

They naturally knew she was referring to Tang Jinkun, and for a moment they all felt a little guilty.

"I'll talk about my business later. Let's talk about Dad first. Yours is simple; just give Sanqing one percent."

Ye Yifan said to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he still had 5% left. Thank goodness they weren't married!

Wait a minute, is not getting married a good thing now?

Little did they know that this was also part of Ye Yifan's plan.

First, they proposed that the marriage partner also need to hold shares, creating the impression that as elders, they had to contribute something to their child's marriage partner, so that Ye Tian would not urge them anymore.

Actually, that's how it should have been done, but Ye Zheng is really stingy, and his two sons naturally followed his example.

As for her own shares, she had already settled the matter with them years ago during the battle for equity.

"As for Second Uncle..." Ye Yifan stared at him for a while, until Ye Hai felt a little sweat on his back before saying, "Just give Second Aunt and Fei Hua one percent each."

Ye Hai was actually quite dissatisfied because he felt it was his family matter, and he could simply choose not to give it to them if he didn't want to.

But how to say it?

Ye Yifan's plan actually means their total income is already more than before. So what if he distributes the profits? If he raises objections now, what if Ye Yifan comes up with a plan that's unfavorable to him?

It's tough on Yanyu, since she originally had shares to back her up...

Unfortunately, he signed an agreement, which Han Jingchun made him sign after the incident to protect his rights. The agreement prohibited him from transferring his shares to Ye Yanyu.

"Okay, I'm fine."

Ye Hai deliberately acted differently from his father and older brother, putting on a smile that said, "You're in charge, I'll listen to you."
