Chapter 238: Are we still needing people here?

She was not without greed, but she understood the principle of 'slicing meat with a small knife' better than An Baoxu. Cutting too much at once would definitely not work, so she directly lowered the amount to 200,000.

"This…" An Yimo originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that the two of them would not give up until they achieved their goal, she finally sighed and said, "I'll try. I'll see if I can borrow this money."

An Baoxu said, "There's no discussing this. Lowering it from 1,000,000 to 200,000 is already very lenient. Don't be insatiable."

Thinking of what Ye Bufan had just said to her, An Yimo hesitated and said, "I'll try my best to find a way for this money, but Xiao Mo, you're not a child anymore. Shouldn't you find a job? You can't just stay at home like this forever…"

An Baoxu shouted, "An Yimo, you ask me to go out and work just because I asked you for a little money? What do you mean?"

An Yimo said, "I don't mean anything else, it's just that staying at home like this isn't a solution. Do you mean you want me to support you for the rest of your life?"

Zeng Yurong immediately said discontentedly, "How can you talk like that, girl? He's your biological younger brother. What's wrong with you supporting him for the rest of his life? Shouldn't you?"

An Baoxu said righteously, "Exactly, I'm the only man in our Tang Family, and I'm counting on me to carry on the family line. How tiring is it to go out and work? What if it affects my ability to have a son?"

Zeng Yurong said, "Alright, no more nonsense. Hurry up and find a way to get us money. We'll come pick it up when you get off work tonight."

After she finished speaking, she took An Baoxu and left.

An Yimo arrived at the General Manager's office, and the thought of 200,000 immediately gave her a headache.

After a moment of silence, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out her phone to call Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan had just arrived at Xinglin Garden. He picked up the phone and said, "What's wrong, Xiao Mo? Is something going on at the company?"

"No, everything's fine at the company." An Yimo hesitated and said, "It's just that I want to overdraft some more money from the company. Do you think that's possible?"

Ye Bufan said, "How much do you need?"

"200,000."

When she said that number, An Yimo herself felt ashamed.

"Why do you need so much money? Are they asking you for money again?"

Ye Bufan now understood An Yimo's temperament very well. She was a very frugal girl, and now that her housing was settled, she simply didn't have such a large expense.

An Yimo originally didn't want to say anything, but she couldn't hide such a matter, so she could only say, "Yes, they just stopped me at the company (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) entrance and demanded 200,000 from me."

"No." Ye Bufan said decisively, "I've already said, you can't give them a single penny. This is a bottomless pit that can never be filled, and it will only drag you into an abyss."

"But…"

An Yimo was about to say something when Ye Bufan interrupted her and said, "There are no 'buts'. As long as you open a loophole, they will endlessly ask you for money in the future. Today it's 200,000, tomorrow it will be 400,000. No matter how much you earn, you will never be able to satisfy their greed."

"Then… then alright!"

An Yimo also knew that Ye Bufan was right. She hung up the phone, stopped thinking about it, and began to work intensely.

Ye Bufan put away his phone. He Pengfei walked over with a cup of brewed Tieguanyin tea: "Ye Ye, please have some tea."

He nodded and began to change his clothes, preparing for a house call.

He Pengfei said with a fawning expression, "Ye Ye, what do you think I should do here at Xinglin Garden?"

Ye Bufan thought for a moment, "You can be in charge of sweeping the floor!"

"Understood, Ye Ye!"

He Pengfei agreed happily without any dissatisfaction.

For him, being able to follow Ye Bufan was a great fortune. As for what he did, it didn't matter at all; even scrubbing toilets would be good.

Just as Ye Bufan was about to go out, several people walked in in a hurry.

Leading them was Tang Feng, followed by Bald Liu, Iron Crutch Li, Xu Yang, and several other major figures of Jiangnan City's underground world. And behind each of these people, without exception, was a Young man.

He said with some surprise, "Why are you all here? Did something happen?"

"No, nothing." Tang Feng said, "Brother Ye, we're here because we have something we'd like to discuss with you."

Bald Liu and the others nodded in agreement, "Yes, Ye Ye, we have something to ask of you."

Ye Bufan was baffled by their attitude and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Tang Feng thought for a moment and finally said, "Brother Ye, are you still short of people here?"

Ye Bufan said, "What do you mean?"

Tang Feng pulled the Young man behind him forward: "Brother Ye, this is my nephew, Tang Kui. Among the third generation of the Tang Family, he is considered very outstanding. Do you think he could follow you from now on?"

Ye Bufan said, "What, is he a doctor?"

"No, he's not a doctor." Tang Feng said, "Does your medical hall need someone to do odd jobs or sweep the floor, or are there any other odd jobs (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)? Anything is fine, as long as he can follow Brother Ye."

Ye Bufan understood a little. He turned to He Pengfei and said, "You two bigmouths, did you say something?"

He Pengfei's expression changed, and he immediately said nervously, "Actually, it's… it's… nothing much. I just showed off a bit to them last night, saying that we're already Yellow Level Warriors."

He spoke somewhat subtly. In fact, last night, he and Ma Kun had indeed shown off quite a bit.

He said that he had only followed Ye Ye for half a day and had already Broken Through to Yellow Level Warrior, and that Breaking Through to Profound Rank would be just around the corner!

The circle in Jiangnan City was not large, especially among those who had good relations with them. Upon receiving the news, they immediately exploded.

As a Martial Artist family, Tang Feng was very clear about how difficult it was for ordinary people to enter the threshold of the Yellow Rank. But being able to easily cross this threshold by following Ye Bufan was simply a golden opportunity.

So, after receiving the news, he brought his nephew without hesitation, wanting Tang Kui to also benefit from it.

He was not the only one with this idea. Besides the He Family and Ma Jiuye, who had already benefited, the other major figures also brought their sons and nephews to Xinglin Garden.

Their goal was the same: they all wanted their children to follow Ye Bufan.

Hearing him say this, Ye Bufan immediately understood their intentions.

At this moment, Bald Liu said, "Ye Ye, this is my son, Liu Mao. Do you think he could follow you…"

Iron Crutch Li said, "Ye Ye, this is my son, Li Fengshan…"

Xu Yang said, "Ye Ye, this is my son, Xu Lei…"

Several people eagerly rushed to introduce the Young man beside them, striving to leave a good impression on Ye Bufan.

"Hello, Ye Ye!"

The Young man greeted him in unison, their eyes filled with respect as they looked at Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan said, "I understand your feelings, but this is a medical hall, and they won't be able to do anything here."

Seeing that he had no intention of taking in their children, Tang Feng said, "Brother Ye, Tang Kui can do anything. I see your place is being renovated. How about letting him move bricks?"

Ye Bufan said in surprise, "Is that appropriate?"

"It's very appropriate. Anything is fine as long as he can follow Brother Ye."

Tang Feng was afraid that he would refuse again, so he immediately added, "Brother Ye, as long as you take in this boy, our Tang Family will donate 1,000,000 to Xinglin Garden every month."
