After saying this, Ning Zheyuan opened the car window, and instantly the noise outside disappeared.
The sound insulation of this car is quite good.
"Yes... okay."
The younger brother felt helpless and wanted to say something more, but seeing the rolled-up car window, he realized that Ning Zheyuan was not in the mood for conversation. If he said anything more, he might anger his boss.
Fortunately, Ning Zheyuan's arrangements were quite thorough, so the brothers' trip wasn't in vain.
The younger brother relayed the message back, which unsurprisingly sparked cheers from the crowd. After all, opportunities to enjoy oneself without fighting are truly rare.
Amidst the surprise and delight, even though some people had doubts about Ning Zheyuan's decision, these doubts were overshadowed by the joyful atmosphere of the majority.
"well……"
Unlike the sea of joy outside, Ning Zheyuan lay on the car seat with his hands clasped together, seemingly asleep, lost in thought, before letting out a heavy sigh.
Even if what Huang Meigui said is true, just think about how arrogant the Yan Yun Gang was before.
At its peak, it was more than capable of crushing all of the Xing family's action teams!
But what about now?
Time has passed, and circumstances have changed.
The Yan Yun Gang is no longer capable of directly confronting the Xing family.
This disparity was undoubtedly most profound for Ning Zheyuan, who witnessed the Xia family's rise and fall.
...
Seattle-style restaurant.
The setting sun hung in the sky, shining on people, but the sunlight, which should have been warm, brought a chill to passersby.
It's almost evening...
Li Junyang remained seated in his previous seat, glanced at the sky outside, then turned to look at the calm roadside and the Xing family action team members who were squatting on the ground, bored and starting to play cards. He held back for a long time, but the words he was about to say were swallowed back down.
He secretly glanced at Xing Zhicheng beside him and noticed that his godfather's expression was quite unpleasant.
His already gloomy face became even more somber, like a cold coffin lid.
The teapot in front of them had already been filled three times with fresh tea leaves. The once fragrant tea was now as bland as plain water.
After waiting all afternoon, the Yan Yun Gang, whom Xing Zhicheng was so certain of, still hadn't arrived.
"It's almost evening, are we still going to wait..."
This question had been on Li Junyang's mind for a long time, but he didn't dare to ask it and swallowed it back down.
never mind……
After all, it was my godfather's idea. He was willing to wait, so what could I do?
Stay with me...
Who told him he couldn't afford to offend the Xing family?
"Why wouldn't he come? Knowing Ning Zheyuan's personality, he should be flying over here... How could he tolerate such provocation? It shouldn't be like this..."
Xing Zhicheng's confidence gradually evaporated as time passed.
He suddenly had a ridiculous feeling that his old rival, with whom he had fought before, seemed to have grown up.
No longer acting impulsively as before, the calmness he displays now is frightening.
He admitted that as it got later and later, the probability of Ning Zheyuan choosing to come was becoming increasingly slim.
Xing Zhicheng's plan to exploit Ning Zheyuan's personality weaknesses to cripple the Yan Yun Gang was, though he was reluctant to admit it, but...
It seems the miscarriage can already be declared.
An old rival who has fought for many years is not scary; what is scary is an old rival who is constantly growing. This will cause Xing Zhicheng to lose all judgment about Ning Zheyuan. All the experience he has accumulated in his past battles with Ning Zheyuan will be rendered useless because of the opponent's growth.
From then on, this old rival became a complete stranger in Xing Zhicheng's eyes.
Strangers are the most terrifying word.
"It seems... I need to get to know you all over again, my old friend."
Xing Zhicheng looked up, and at that moment the setting sun disappeared from the sky, replaced by a crescent moon.
"Zhuo Lu".
Suddenly, Xing Zhicheng spoke calmly.
"boss."
Hearing Xing Zhicheng call her, Zhuo Lu hurriedly came from the doorway, then bent down and looked at Xing Zhicheng, "What is it?"
"Release Mr. Liu. Since you didn't catch the fish you wanted, there's no need to keep the bait. Leave some money to help Mr. Liu get proper medical treatment, and then tell him..."
"The Xing and Li families will be invited to participate in the next Jiang City Chamber of Commerce selection."
Xing Zhicheng spoke calmly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"OK."
Zhuo Lu nodded. As she worked for Xing Zhicheng for longer and longer, her work style became more mature. As long as it was something Xing Zhicheng asked her to do, she just had to do it. She had to do it well and quickly.
Unlike before, I won't be an intern who asks about everything anymore.
"Godfather, is this... possible? I just went to the back and saw that Liu Bing was beaten up horribly. Will he hate us? Can he support our entry into the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce?"
Li Junyang reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Zhuo Lu's slender back, then looked at Xing Zhicheng with some worry.
If we had treated each other with courtesy from the beginning, things might have turned out well.
But to use someone as bait right from the start, and then treat them so badly, their face covered in blood, this...
Can you agree?
"He will."
Xing Zhicheng smiled confidently. Although he had guessed wrong about Ning Zheyuan, he was confident that he would not be wrong about Liu Bing.
"Coercion and enticement are the most effective ways to break down the other party's psychological defenses. If the benefits offered are large enough, then no one will care about the previous coercion. Don't forget how much weight I, Xing Ju, carry."
“Let’s go. There’s no point in staying here any longer. When we get back, let’s tell Li Qingshan that our two families are going to join the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce. We should make some preparations in advance.”
"Presumably... Liu Bing, that fatso, will forget today's unpleasantness once he learns that there might be a future collaboration with my Xing family."
After speaking, Xing Zhicheng stood up and walked outside without looking back.
With Zhuo Lu around, he believed that she could handle this matter quite efficiently.
His little secretary has gradually grown from being green and inexperienced to a reliable person who can stand on her own.
Xing Zhicheng admired her very much.
"Really...?"
Li Junyang muttered something to himself, feeling somewhat skeptical, but he still followed.
Not long after, just as the two got into the car and were about to leave, Zhuo Lu brought good news.
"It's done, boss."
Looking at the message sent by the other party, Xing Zhicheng smiled faintly and showed the text message to Li Junyang.
"Wow! It actually worked? Amazing, Godfather. I never thought everything would go exactly as you planned. You really made a fool of that idiot Liu Bing."
Li Junyang held his phone, showering Zhuo Lu with flattery, but his eyes darted around furtively, noting down her phone number.
