Yuan Gang emerged from the shadows, his brow furrowed. "Qi Mingdao is a man of deep schemes and ruthless methods. The attacks on the Dragon Observation Bureau and Lin Tian'ai must have been arranged by Qi Mingdao."
If he could see it so clearly, how could Ye Longlin not?
Ye Longlin let out a wry smile. "Alright, it's just Qi Mingdao, he's irrelevant. The important thing is, who is behind him?"
Yuan Gang scratched his head. "Isn't he one of the Nine Young Masters of the capital?"
Ye Longlin rolled his eyes and retorted, "Do you know who it is?"
Yuan Gang then coughed lightly. "Ahem, no."
"Alright, since Qi Mingdao has surfaced, the following matters will be easier to handle. This Wang Xu could be the Nine Young Master behind Global Group. He might make a move, but the Wang family might not."
Ye Longlin looked at the scenery below and spoke slowly. For the Wang family, this was an irresistible force, but for Wang Xu, it was a matter of pride.
Men value their pride above all else. However, for true leaders, pride is even more important.
"How do you know? A behemoth like the Wang family cares about nothing more than pride. They have little else they can care about. Pride is one of them. You sent Ye Lin away this time, and Ye Lin is a necessity for the Wang family's marital alliance. She is an extremely important link for both families."
Yuan Gang didn't understand this aspect and felt very confused. Shouldn't they seek revenge? Why didn't the Wang family act?
Ye Longlin shook his head. "You still need to improve your understanding of human relationships and social etiquette. For the Wang family, Ye Lin is important, but for the Ye family, she is not that important. This requires careful consideration. The Wang family has a fallback, and who do you think their fallback is?"
Yuan Gang pondered for a moment, finally understanding the Wang family's fallback. The Ye family was not important because the Ye family had reached its limit. It was like a large tree that could no longer grow, at most, it could only sprout more branches.
But Ye Longlin?
Who could predict his development ceiling?
At less than thirty years old, he could already influence the highest departmental directives. His existence even held more sway than so-called rotating consuls.
After all, he also held the position of Master of the Dragon Pavilion.
"Alright, let's go back. Tell Mu Hanqi to speed up recruitment. Many positions are still vacant."
Yuan Gang nodded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tian'ai called.
"There was an incident at your construction site? I heard the military was dispatched and tanks appeared. What exactly happened? Was anyone injured? Are you all alright? Where is Mu Mu? Isn't Mu Mu at the construction site?"
As soon as Lin Tian'ai's call connected, a barrage of questions poured out, her tone extremely anxious.
Ye Longlin waited for her to finish before calmly replying, "Nothing serious, just a minor issue. It's already resolved."
Lin Tian'ai's words got stuck in her throat, making her extremely annoyed. However, since Ye Longlin had already said so, what else could she say? She could only force herself to swallow them and huffed, "The new president of Meihua Group is holding an investment promotion conference tonight. This is a project for external investment attraction, with the group acting as an intermediary to attract more enterprises to invest and build factories here."
"It is said to be for the aquatic product export trade of the new city district in the north. Minister Cheng Kunpeng has already arrived in Xingcheng. Tonight at 8 PM at the Red Star Hotel, with the group's recommendation, successful applicants will receive policy support, cash rewards, and other benefits."
Ye Longlin wasn't particularly concerned about these matters. After all, as long as this project could make money, it would be enough for the Dragon Pavilion to use for many years. There were tens of billions, and the funds would certainly be sufficient.
Thinking of this, Ye Longlin gritted his teeth. "Others receive budget allocations, but for us, we have to earn money ourselves!"
It was the same when he was overseas, forced to accept mercenary missions.
However, if he really needed money, he could still gather at least over a hundred billion, but it would cost him a lot of favors.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiulan and Mu Ye also called to talk about this matter. In the end, he could only say, "Alright, I will go. The main reason is to see who this new president of Meihua Group is."
He wasn't interested in investment promotion and disliked trouble, so he would only go to see who the new president was, as he was quite curious.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Mingdao returned to his villa, his face extremely grim. Opposite him sat a young man in his thirties with a buzz cut.
"Brother-in-law, what exactly happened? Why did the military come? I lost three hundred engineering vehicles, that's hundreds of millions! What is going on?" kuAiδugg
"All the vehicles from my company were dispatched. You were the one who told me to go. Now that this has happened, whose loss is it? Although you are my brother-in-law, how can this be settled? I rely on these people for a living, and now the tools of my livelihood are gone!"
"Brother-in-law, did you provoke those lunatics in the military?"
Qi Mingdao took a deep breath and slowly said, "Xiao Luo, haven't I treated you well all these years?"
Hearing this, Sun Luo's heart skipped a beat, as if he had already guessed something. His expression slowly turned grim, yet he shook his head. "No, brother-in-law has treated me very well."
Qi Mingdao nodded. "I will arrange for someone to transfer the compensation for today's losses to you. It was my brother-in-law's mistake. I didn't expect the other party to have connections with the military. It is precisely because of this that he must die."
Sun Luo's eyes turned grim. "Brother-in-law, I've never done anything illegal. I'm a good citizen."
Qi Mingdao rolled his eyes and retorted, "I didn't ask you to make a move. Tonight, at the investment promotion conference, I will arrange for you to serve Young Master Wang. Your task is to instigate a conflict between Ye Longlin and Young Master Wang. As for other matters, you don't need to worry about them."
With Ye Longlin's temper, once he clashed with Young Master Wang, the two would be irreconcilable. Then... Qi Mingdao could already imagine Ye Longlin's miserable state.
The Wang family was a true behemoth, a top existence in Daxia. Dealing with a mere Ye Longlin would be effortless.
Sun Luo breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you asked me to... Okay, I understand. I will definitely handle it well."
Qi Mingdao waved his hand, and Sun Luo left. It all depended on tonight.
"Ye Longlin, Ye Longlin, I hope you can last a few more days against Young Master Wang, otherwise it will truly be uninteresting."
Watching Sun Luo's retreating back, he narrowed his eyes.
"There's no other way, Xiao Luo. It's not that your brother-in-law is willing to abandon you, but you are not suited for the business world. If you can get through this, you will thank your brother-in-law. This is an opportunity to soar to the heavens."
