Everyone in Haicheng knows that Qiao Chu is the woman Mr. Zhi hates the most, but to everyone's surprise, he married Qiao Chu!
Marrying Mr. Zhi is like being a widow?!
Qiao Chu, who...
That scumbag has no shame!
Qiao Nuan despised him.
Qiao Nuan also glared fiercely at Li Yiting.
He threatened, "Let go right now! You can't afford the consequences of messing with me. My sister is Qiao Chu, and Jiang Zhi is my brother-in-law. I'll have them deal with you!"
Jiang Zhi is definitely not someone to mess with!
Now, he's the one who calls the shots at Dongyang Group.
Even though he was unhappy and extremely annoyed, Li Yiting didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Just then, the footsteps grew closer; someone was coming.
In an instant, Li Yiting wisely released Ye Sheng.
"It's a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!"
Qiao Nuan, still brandishing the wooden stick, shouted loudly, "Get out!"
Reluctantly, Li Yiting glanced at Ye Sheng and left.
Someone came over, and Qiao Nuan and Ye Sheng thanked them.
Seeing that everything was alright, the kind person left.
...
Qiao Nuan threw away the wooden stick and clapped her hands.
He asked, "Sister, are you alright? If you need to file a report at the police station, I can testify for you."
Ye Sheng smiled faintly as she looked at Qiao Nuan.
Miss Qiao is very kind!
That's really brave!
"I'm fine, thank you so much! No need to go to the police station to file a report, I'll be more careful next time."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
Ye Sheng nodded.
Qiao Nuan left, and Ye Sheng stood there watching her retreating figure.
There are still kind-hearted people in this world!
There are still people willing to offer help!
******
Ye Sheng and Jiang Zhi's talks went smoothly, and they reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation.
Subsequently, the public relations director of the Yip Group held a press conference.
At the meeting, it was announced that the Yip Group is preparing to cooperate with the Tung Yeung Group, and the relevant details are already under discussion.
Upon seeing this news, the Rong father and son were furious.
Rong Zhan spat in annoyance: "That woman is really ungrateful, she deserves to be cheated on!"
Rong Sheng pursed his lips, his expression solemn and serious.
Not uttering a single word!
From a broader perspective, this marks the beginning of the gap between Rong's Group and Dongyang Group.
Rong Sheng was also very unwilling to lose the Ye Group.
...
After a moment of silence, Rong Sheng asked, "How many shares does Jiang Zhi hold?"
"Dad, it's about 5%."
Rong Sheng sighed, his eyes deep and thoughtful. "We lost!"
"Dad, can't we just sabotage their cooperation?"
"Tell me, what kind of sabotage are you talking about? Murder and arson? You still have hopes for Li Yiting?"
Rong Zhan remained silent.
Rong Sheng continued, "Ye Sheng holds 35%, Ye Huai holds about 10%, Jiang Zhi holds about 5%, and what about Jiang Chi? What about Qiao Chu? As long as they each hold a small portion, their combined holdings will exceed 50%, making them the absolute controlling shareholders. Even if the other shareholders sell their shares to us, it won't matter."
After thinking for a moment, Rong Zhan said, "Dad, why don't we sell Joe's stock?"
"No way! Holding shares in each other can keep each other in check. Besides, if they can make money, then we can make money too."
"Then... are we just going to watch the Ye Group and the Dongyang Group cooperate? To lose like this, without even having used all our strength, I'm not willing to accept it!"
Who would be willing to accept this?
There's no other way, is there?!
Rong Sheng sighed and said calmly, "Son, let's wait for the next opportunity. Sometimes, business isn't always smooth sailing. When facing adversity, we should remain calm and take each step steadily. It's not about admitting defeat, but about becoming stronger."
Rong Zhan was still quite angry, and his eyes held a hint of resentment.
“Dad, let’s try to merge ZOE with us. I’ve heard that Jiang Zhi has been thinking about this.”
After thinking for a moment, Rong Sheng nodded.
"Rong Zhan, go to Country Y in person and talk to the owner of ZOE. Offer them generous terms and try your best to secure the cooperation. That way, even if we lose the Ye Group, we won't feel it's a pity."
"Yes, I'll negotiate personally. Relatively speaking, ZOE is a much bigger prize!"
"With Mark around, I'm quite confident that next year's fall/winter collection will be on par with Joe's."
"If we acquire ZOE, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. We can still beat Dongyang Group and our Rong Group as the number one fashion kingdom in the country."
Rong Sheng smiled and patted his son on the shoulder.
He was quite pleased that his son had made progress.
...
Unable to persuade Ye Sheng or obtain her forgiveness, divorce seems inevitable.
Li Yiting certainly didn't want to leave empty-handed; he would get back what he was owed.
He called Rong Zhan.
“You only paid me 30% of the deposit, and you haven’t given me the rest yet. I’ve done everything you asked me to do, so you can’t break your promise.”
Rong Zhan sneered and said disdainfully, "You've ruined everything, and you still have the nerve to ask me for the rest of the money? Li Yiting, why don't you just make yourself a pie in the sky!"
Li Yiting was furious, his eyes blazing with anger.
"Bastard! You flattered me when you wanted to use me, but then discarded me after you were done. You people surnamed Rong are indeed notoriously despicable! If you hadn't made me lie and anger my wife, would I be in this miserable state now? You people surnamed Rong are the worst!"
"You can't win a woman's heart because you're incompetent, and you still blame me? You're shameless! You're just greedy for money and don't even care about your wife and children. You're shameless and immoral. God should take you away!"
"I'm warning you, if you piss me off, we'll part ways. If I'm not doing well, none of you surnamed Rong will be doing well either."
"Li Yiting, you're rotten to the core. Just start afresh. Cheating is a stain on your reputation forever, and no one can save you. Good luck! You're only good for making a living off women, so don't make yourself look so pathetic. If you walk down the street, you'll probably get more people cursing you than cursing me."
"Rong Zhan, you really aren't going to pay?"
"Our cooperation ended a long time ago. Your skills are only worth 30% of the deposit. From now on, you'd better watch your step!"
Li Yiting's anger subsided, and he asked in a sinister tone, "You really won't pay?"
"You've become obsessed with money? How despicable!"
"Fine, you've got guts!"
...
Not long after, Rong Zhan and Li Yiting both became trending topics.
Li Yiting not only posted the recording of the phone call online, but also gave an exclusive interview to Haicheng Daily.
He not only exposed Rong Zhan's despicable and shameless true colors, but he also admitted that the words he had said to the media before were all scripts written for him by Rong Zhan. He was only responsible for carrying out the mission of slandering Ye Sheng in order to create a scandal and cause the stock price of Ye Group to drop.
Li Yiting also revealed that the Rong Group originally intended to use despicable means to attack the Ye Group in order to acquire the Ye Group at a low price.
Li Yiting also responded directly to the scandal involving him and Lan Xiao.
He deserved it. He got arrogant and let down his family, Ye Sheng and the children, and everyone who cared about him.
Lai Yat-ting also sincerely apologized to the public.
He is willing to accept everyone's criticism.
...
Upon seeing this news, and seeing it still trending on social media, Rong Sheng was furious and flew into a rage!
"I was just feeling relieved that I could hand over the Rong Group to you, but before I could even enjoy it for a day, you're already driving me crazy!"
