Ye Tianyu frowned slightly. Since the last time he thwarted the Hong Group, Liu Qingyao, Hong Guoliang, and Lin Xueyan had all disappeared without a trace, and he hadn't seen them for a long time.
Today, Liu Qingyao suddenly appeared, and she headed towards the Liu Group.
Could it be... that Hong Guoliang is about to make a move again?
Thinking of this, a hint of disdain flashed across Ye Tianyu's lips. If they want to go against me, then let's have a grand showdown to settle all grudges.
He didn't pay any more attention at the moment, and drove through the intersection as soon as the green light came on.
Ye Tianyu's guess wasn't entirely correct this time.
At the next intersection, Liu Qingyao turned the steering wheel and turned onto the right-hand ring road.
She didn't go to the Liu Group, but to the villa where Hong Guoliang was keeping her.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Hong Guoliang, who had just come out of the pool and was wiping the water droplets off with a white towel, spoke casually.
"It's been so many days since I've seen you, let's go in and grab a drink!"
Liu Qingyao remained silent and followed him into the living room.
Hong Guoliang poured two glasses of whiskey and handed one to her.
Liu Qingyao took it, took a sip, and then spoke.
"Why did you call me back in such a hurry? Is there something important?"
"The matter is indeed important, but there's no rush!"
Hong Guoliang put down his wine glass and pulled her into his arms: "Relax first, I'll tell you later!"
After saying that, he picked her up by the waist and carried her directly into the inner room.
The door was not opened until two hours later.
A few minutes after Man Guoliang came out, Liu Qingyao came out with disheveled hair and staggered steps, almost hugging the wall as she entered the living room.
"Why are you being so freakish this time..."
Liu Qingyao looked unhappy and began to scold Hong Guoliang.
He swallowed his words halfway through, and his expression changed.
Lin Xueyan was sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a strange expression.
When did she arrive?
Liu Qingyao felt a sudden panic and hurriedly tidied her hair.
Lin Xueyan said with a half-smile, "No need to panic, I'm not an outsider!"
“That’s right, there’s no need to feel awkward in front of Lin Xueyan.”
Hong Guoliang sat with his legs crossed, leisurely sipping his red wine, completely ignoring Liu Qingyao's disheveled state.
Liu Qingyao dragged her tired body to the sofa and sat down, gritting her teeth inwardly. "Lin Xueyan, just keep laughing. One day, I'll make you suffer an even worse fate than me."
She pretended to be nonchalant and looked at Hong Guoliang.
"Didn't you say you had something important to say? Now you can tell me!"
Hong Guoliang took another sip of red wine, swallowed it, put down the glass, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and slowly spoke.
"I didn't tell you earlier because I was waiting for Lin Xueyan to come over."
"Alright, now that she's here, I'll explain things to you!"
"Xiao Chen sent a message from Binzhou that the Hong family forces across China have been assembled."
"We can start planning our revenge against Ye Tianyu and the Fang Group!"
After listening, Liu Qingyao looked unconvinced and said indifferently.
"The Hong Group no longer has a presence in Jiangnan, so what's the plan?"
"Isn't there the Liu Group?"
Lin Xueyan raised an eyebrow: "Liu Qingyao, you must remember, once the Liu Group is acquired by the Hong Group, it will forever belong to the Hong Group!"
"Hmph! Mr. Lin, don't use those words to mock me!"
Liu Qingyao snorted: "The problem is, Liu's is just a shell company now, with no clients and only a few dilapidated buildings. What's the point?"
"hehe!"
"You two stop arguing, I haven't gotten to the point yet!"
Hong Guoliang laughed and looked at Liu Qingyao.
"With enough money, reviving the Liu Group is absolutely no problem!"
"I urgently wanted you back because I wanted to entrust you with this important task!"
"You are very familiar with the business community in Jiangnan. It won't be difficult for you to negotiate with new clients!"
As he spoke, he took a check out of his pocket and tossed it over.
"Here is a check for one billion dollars in cash. I'm giving it to you. I'm confident you'll find new clients soon."
"After the Liu Group reopens, you and Lin Xueyan will take control of it together."
"In other words, one of you will be the CEO and the other the Marketing Director. Working together, you will build up the Liu Group, just like before, making it the Hong Group's base in Jiangnan!"
Hearing Hong Guoliang's words, Liu Qingyao's heart pounded, but she didn't show it on her face.
She had endured more than two months of humiliation and was almost at the end of her rope.
The fact that Hong Guoliang dared to entrust her with 1 billion yuan to restart the Liu Group and make her one of the two controllers shows that he already trusts her.
Hong Guoliang was right. With her years of experience in the Jiangnan business world, finding new clients would be no problem at all.
She previously faced a crisis and bankruptcy because of financial problems; she couldn't raise funds, which led her to a desperate situation.
But things are different now. She has the 1 billion yuan that Hong Guoliang gave her, making things much easier.
Without money, everything is difficult; with money, nothing is a problem.
She felt as if she could already see the light at the end of the tunnel.
She was secretly excited and delighted, while Lin Xueyan was very unhappy.
After the last acquisition of the Liu Group, she was in complete control. Apart from Hong Guoliang, she was the king of the Hong Group in Jiangnan.
However, when restarting the Liu Group, Hong Guoliang entrusted her with an important task, asking him to work with her to oversee the Liu Group.
On the surface, the two are equals in status and position.
But Liu Qingyao is the president of the marketing department, and she controls all external business; she truly holds real power.
She began to feel uneasy.
She had a vague feeling that Liu Qingyao was very good at being patient, as if she was waiting for some opportunity.
At the same time, it seemed that she had achieved her goal.
She couldn't figure out what the purpose was.
In an instant, she regretted it, regretting that she should not have recommended Liu Qingyao to Hong Guoliang for financial support.
Liu Qingyao must be very good at pleasing Hong Guoliang, otherwise, she couldn't have risen to power so quickly.
Just now, for example, her disheveled hair and exhausted appearance clearly showed that she had endured various perverse tortures from Hong Guoliang.
She finally realized how terrifying Liu Qingyao was.
However, Liu Qingyao has already won Hong Guoliang's favor and is now his favorite. If I were to object, it would definitely arouse Hong Guoliang's resentment.
For now, we can only take it one step at a time, keep an eye on Liu Qingyao's behavior, and guard against her suddenly using dirty tricks against us.
Liu Qingyao looked at the check in her hand, remaining calm and composed.
"Alright, with this funding, I'll take care of restarting the Liu Group!"
"Okay, I believe you can do it!"
"The day the Liu Group restarts will be the day it takes revenge on Ye Tianyu and Fang Xueqing."
"Wishing you all the best, cheers!"
Hong Guoliang smiled broadly, raised his glass, and clinked it against the two men's...
Ye Tianyu arrived at the jade market and had just entered the appraisal hall when Jiang Lin stepped forward and said with a solemn expression.
"Mr. Ye, there's a problem with the batch of rough stones we received yesterday; most of them are just ordinary, low-quality stones!"
"What? Trash rocks?"
Ye Tianyu's eyes flashed with a cold light: "I personally identified each of these rough stones, one by one. How could most of them be problematic?"
