Shen Lang ignored Zhao Zesheng's mockery and asked into the phone, "Whose property is Tianxiang City?"
"Tianxiang City belongs to Jianglin Group. The chairman of Jianglin Group is Song Dajiang, who has some business dealings with our group."
Shen Lang said, "Contact this guy named Song Dajiang and tell him I'm waiting for him at the toy store on the first floor of Tianxiang City. You can come over too."
"Okay, honey! I'll be right there!" Xia Bingyan replied playfully.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zesheng stood there and laughed, "Clown, stop trying to put on an act. I saw through your clumsy trick at a glance. Look at the clothes you're wearing, they don't even have a brand name. They're probably cheap stuff you bought for twenty yuan on Taobao."
Shen Lang ignored him and instead said to the waiter, "Can I wait for someone in your shop?"
Looking at Shen Lang's almost otherworldly good looks, the waiter had no intention of refusing: "Of course, I'll go get some chairs for the three of you."
Ten minutes later, a glamorous career woman in a business suit appeared at the entrance of the toy store. When she saw Shen Lang, she ran straight to him and threw herself into his arms: "Honey, I missed you so much."
Shuang'er clicked her tongue twice from the side: "Little Bingyan, are you ignoring the two of us?"
Xia Bingyan broke free from Shen Lang's embrace and greeted Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er with a slightly respectful tone: "Sister Xian'er, Sister Shuang'er."
Yu Xian'er smiled gently at Xia Bingyan.
Shuang'er walked up to Xia Bingyan, stretched out her hands, and, in full view of everyone, climbed onto the bulge in her white shirt: "Little Bingyan, you've gotten even bigger in just a few days! Have you been secretly taking some kind of medicine?"
Xia Bingyan blushed and said in a sweet voice, "Sister Shuang'er, we're still outside."
Although only Shen Lang could see this scene, Xia Bingyan was still very shy.
"Shuang'er, be serious." Yu Xian'er said coquettishly.
Xia Bingyan then looked at Shen Lang and asked, "Honey, why did you suddenly remember this place?"
Shen Lang waved his hand helplessly and said, "I had nothing to do, so I took Xian'er and Shuang'er for a stroll, but I didn't expect to run into a mouse."
Xia Bingyan then noticed Zhao Zesheng standing to the side: "Zhao Zesheng from Shanhe Group? Is this the one who offended my husband?"
Only then did Zhao Zesheng see Xia Bingyan's face clearly, and his tone immediately became stammering: "You...you are...Xia Bingyan from Canglang Group?"
Jiang Lin Group Chairman Song Dajiang was originally meeting with Yao Tang Group's son Xu Zhenzhen in the reception room to discuss the acquisition of Tianxiang City.
But suddenly his secretary told him that Xia Bingyan, the chairman of Canglang Group, had invited him to Tianxiang City.
Song Dajiang originally wanted to decline, but Xu Zhenzhen was eager to go.
Urged on by Xu Zhenzhen, the two rushed to the toy store on the first floor of Tianxiang City.
As soon as Xu Zhenzhen entered the store, she saw Shen Lang showing affection with three beautiful women.
"Young Master Shen!" Xu Zhenzhen walked up with a smile.
When Shen Lang saw that it was Xu Zhenzhen who had come, he asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Xu Zhenzhen smiled obsequiously, "Young Master Shen, my father asked me to go to Jianglin Group to discuss the acquisition of Tianxiang City with President Song. On the way, I heard that President Xia was meeting with President Song, so I came along. I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"Brother Zhen?" Zhao Zesheng's voice rang out from behind Xu Zhenzhen.
Xu Zhenzhen looked up at the sound: "Zhao Zesheng? What are you doing here?"
Zhao Zesheng could now tell that Shen Lang's identity was definitely extraordinary.
Xu Zhenzhen is the undisputed heir among the rich second-generation in X City.
This shows his attitude towards Shen Lang, and at this moment he vaguely sensed that he was in trouble.
Shen Lang put his arm around Xu Zhenzhen's shoulder and pointed at Zhao Zesheng, saying, "Zhenzhen, this young master Zhao insists that I give him my two wives. Do you know how hard it is for me to get married? I get bullied just for going out for a stroll."
Xu Zhenzhen grinned, then quickly distanced herself from Zhao Zesheng: "Young Master Shen, I'm not familiar with this Zhao Zesheng, we just know each other."
"Hey! Shouldn't you two be good brothers?" Shen Lang asked, feigning curiosity. "I saw him call you 'brother'."
"No, no, no, Young Master Shen, you've misunderstood. This person has mental problems; he's probably mistaken for someone else," Xu Zhenzhen hurriedly waved her hand in denial.
"Oh! I see." Shen Lang nodded as if he understood, and then continued, "Since it's none of your business, you can go now. By the way, ask Brother Xu if the two koi I gave him have gotten fat."
"Yes, Young Master Shen, I'll go home and contact my father right away." Xu Zhenzhen said solemnly, then walked out of the toy store.
Back in the car, Xu Zhenzhen couldn't wait to call her father, Xu Tianying, and told him exactly what she had seen and what Shen Lang had told her.
Upon hearing Xu Zhenzhen's words, Xu Tianying on the other end of the phone immediately decided to take action against the Zhao family and their Shanhe Group.
Xu Zhenzhen may have only partially understood Shen Lang's implication, but Xu Tianying understood it perfectly.
The two koi fish he brought back from Baiyun Manor represent the two remaining major families in X City, the Zhao family and the Lin family.
After Xu Zhenzhen left, Song Dajiang, the chairman of Jianglin Group, entered the toy store.
When he first saw Shen Lang, he suddenly felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Given the attitude of Xu Zhenzhen, the young master of Yaotang Group, towards this person, and the fact that Xia Bingyan, the chairman of Canglang Group, was standing next to him, Song Dajiang knew that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with.
"Hello, I am Song Dajiang, the chairman of Linjiang Group." Song Dajiang extended his right hand with neither servility nor arrogance.
Shen Lang also extended his hand, shook hands with Song Dajiang briefly, and then let go: "Hello, Mr. Song, it's nice to see you again."
Although Song Dajiang didn't recognize Shen Lang, Shen Lang recognized Song Dajiang at a glance.
This person was none other than General Manager Song, whom I had met at the Wangshanhe sales office.
"Have we met before?" Song Dajiang asked, puzzled.
Shen Lang laughed and said, "President Song really has a bad memory. We met at the Wangshanhe sales office a month ago. I even took your seat back then."
Shen Lang's words were like a wake-up call, and Song Dajiang suddenly recalled the farce that had happened at the Wangshanhe sales office a month ago.
He immediately said with shame, "I'm so sorry, I've been very busy with business lately and didn't think of you for a moment."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "It's alright."
"I've called Mr. Song here today to discuss something."
“Please speak, Young Master Shen,” said Song Dajiang.
"I heard you're considering selling your Celestial City, is that right?" Shen Lang asked with a smile.
Song Dajiang nodded: "Recently, the company has been preparing for a new project, but we don't have enough working capital, so we're thinking of selling the mall to get some cash back."
Unlike other shopping malls, Tianxiang City is a large, six-story mall where all the shops are operated by Jianglin Group. In other words, Song Dajiang is the real owner of this toy store.
“Since President Song is willing to sell, then let’s sell it to Canglang Group,” Shen Lang said with a smile.
"If Young Master Shen wants it, then of course there's no problem," Song Dajiang said with a smile.
Jianglin Group and Canglang Group have a relatively close business relationship. If Canglang Group is interested in taking over, he would not mind selling to Canglang Group.
Shen Lang nodded: "Alright, you can discuss the rest with Bingyan. I don't know much about business."
Then Shen Lang said to Xia Bingyan, "It's up to you. The three of us will wait for you at the hot pot restaurant on the top floor."
"No problem, leave it to me." Xia Bingyan smiled playfully.
