Ye Tianyu crossed his arms and frowned deeply.
"Hong Guoliang is going to such lengths to help Liu Qingyao rise to power so that the Hong Group can return to Jiangnan. Isn't he afraid that she will turn against him later?"
"You have to understand, the Liu Group originally belonged to Liu Qingyao. It was acquired by the Hong Group for a pittance, and she was resentful at the time. If Hong Guoliang hadn't considered this, and if Liu Qingyao had seized power and taken the opportunity to retaliate, he wouldn't even have time to regret it!"
Fang Xueqing raised her eyebrows slightly: "If she really retaliates against the Hong Group, it would actually be a good thing!"
“After Liu Qingyao regains power, she cannot compete with me without the support of the Hong Group.”
"Therefore, I don't think the chances of her retaliating against the Hong Group are very high!"
"I was just saying 'what if,' I didn't say for sure that Liu Qingyao would do that!"
Ye Tianyu waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. Let's take it one step at a time. We'll talk about how to compete with Liu Qingyao for the Blue Star Building project in three days!"
"It's noon, let's go out for lunch!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xueqing immediately picked up her LV handbag.
She hadn't eaten with Ye Tianyu in a long time, so without saying a word, she followed him out.
Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Liu Group.
Liu Qingyao is on the phone with Hong Guoliang.
"Chairman Hong, rest assured, I will still spare no expense to secure the Blue Star Building project."
"Even if I lose ten or twenty billion, I will not let Fang Xueqing succeed..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xueyan, who was standing to the side, suddenly rushed up, snatched her phone, and held it to her ear.
"Chairman Hong, we can't let Liu Qingyao mess things up like this."
"The projects she secured before either didn't make a profit or resulted in losses for us."
"If we take over the Blue Star Building project and then lose a huge amount of money, it will be a huge loss for the Hong Group."
"If we let her continue like this, the Hong Group will be finished sooner or later!"
Liu Qingyao's expression changed, and she snatched the phone back, speaking to Hong Guoliang on the other end of the line.
“Chairman Hong, don’t listen to her. I know what I’m doing. To destroy the Fang Group, we have to make some sacrifices.”
"I guarantee that once we secure the Blue Star Building project, we'll make our money back very quickly!"
"Um!"
Hong Guoliang said calmly, "I believe you. However, I recently heard that you and Lin Xueyan have had some conflicts. You both work for the Hong Group, so please don't hurt your relationship, understand?"
"Understood, we were just joking, Mr. Hong, don't worry!"
After Liu Qingyao finished speaking, she hung up the phone, then her face darkened: "I was on the phone with Chairman Hong, why did you snatch my phone?"
As he spoke, he slapped Lin Xueyan across the face.
"Smack!"
It was crisp and clear.
Lin Xueyan received a solid slap across the face.
"You...you actually dared to hit me?" Lin Xueyan covered her burning face, her eyes blazing with fury. She never dreamed that Liu Qing would dare to lay a hand on her.
"So what if I hit you?"
"Who told you to be so disrespectful and dare to snatch my phone!"
As soon as Liu Qingyao finished speaking, she slapped him again.
"laugh!"
Lin Xueyan tilted her head, and Liu Qingyao's palm brushed past her ear.
"Liu Qingyao, you wretched bitch!"
Lin Xueyan screamed, "What do you mean by disrespectful? We're both CEOs, equals, with the same status!"
"You dare hit me, but I won't hit you back?"
After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped her back.
Liu Qingyao was prepared and took a step back, avoiding the slap.
"On equal footing?"
She sneered, "You wish! I'm the project president, and I call the shots on all of Liu's Group's business."
"I hold real power. If you dare to disrespect me, I can control you anytime!"
Lin Xueyan was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode. She gritted her teeth and said, "Liu Qingyao, you've become arrogant just because you're being kept by Chairman Hong and now that you have some real power, haven't you?"
"Yes, I've gotten arrogant because I'm being kept by Chairman Hong, so what can you do about it?"
Liu Qingyao sneered, "From now on, you must call me President Liu. If you have any complaints, I'll make you suffer!"
"Liu Qingyao, you..."
Lin Xueyan was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she couldn't even utter a curse.
"What?"
Liu Qingyao said coldly, "We're about to have dinner with two important guests. Hurry up and get ready. If you're too slow and the two guests are dissatisfied, causing us to lose the cooperation, I'll report to Chairman Hong that you messed it up!"
"you……"
Lin Xueyan's face turned a deep purplish-red. Liu Qingyao was clearly taking advantage of Hong Guoliang's backing and was deliberately trying to suppress her.
At this moment, she was filled with deep regret. She should have been ruthless enough to eliminate Liu Qingyao before, leaving herself with future troubles.
She stomped her foot hard, turned around, and walked out.
Liu Qingyao watched her retreating figure with a cold smile on her lips. When I was down on my luck, you took advantage of my misfortune and used any means necessary to seize my Liu Group, making my life almost worse than death.
Now, I'm going to transfer everything I've suffered in the past onto you, so you can also experience what it's like to be worse than dead.
Without waiting for Lin Xueyan, she left the company alone and drove to meet the two important clients.
The five-star Katie Hotel was where Liu Qingyao met with two important clients.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, Liu Qingyao made a phone call.
Soon, a waitress came up to her and whispered, "Ms. Liu, you've arrived!"
"Shh!"
Liu Qingyao put her index finger to her lips, signaling her not to be too loud.
Then he pulled her to a corner, handed her a small paper packet, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Then he took out two bundles of cash: "This is your reward, twenty thousand yuan!"
The waiter took the two bundles of cash, extremely excited, and nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we'll make sure you're satisfied!"
Liu Qingyao patted her shoulder: "Hurry up and go! President Lin will be here soon!"
The waiter turned and left, and Liu Qingyao also arrived at the reserved private room.
Two middle-aged men in their fifties were already sitting inside.
Liu Qingyao smiled brightly, shook hands with them, sat down, and chatted for a few minutes before Lin Xueyan arrived.
Liu Qingyao specially reserved a seat for her near two customers.
Lin Xueyan glanced at her coldly, said nothing, turned her head, forced a smile, and greeted and shook hands with the two customers.
After exchanging pleasantries, the waitress brought in the drinks and secretly winked at Liu Qingyao.
Liu Qingyao quickly looked outside, pretending to be nonchalant.
Serving food and drinks is the most common etiquette for greeting guests.
However, halfway through the meal, Lin Xueyan suddenly felt dizzy and involuntarily slumped onto the table, becoming still.
One of the guests chuckled and said, "Really? Ms. Lin is already drunk after only two drinks. She used to have a really high alcohol tolerance!"
At this moment, Liu Qingyao stood up and said with a smile, "President Lin deliberately got drunk. In order to make our cooperation go smoothly, she told me before she came that she wanted to keep you two happy, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she had to get drunk so that it wouldn't be awkward!"
He then pulled out a room key: "I've prepared a guest room for you two. Mr. Lin, you're the ones I need..."
