Chu Nianxue frowned slightly, her eyes showing a hint of worry: "You may not have heard of how their Xu family operates. Anyone who cooperates with them, if they can't display their own strength, will be slowly devoured by them."
"Many people are willing to join voluntarily, but in the end, those industries will also become part of the Xu family. Although they can eventually become a member of the Xu family, that's not what we want."
"You don't understand their power, and their assets are spread across all industries. They are a true behemoth."
"If there's a conflict with them, the consequences will be very serious."
"I even suspect they already know we obtained the Jiuzhou Ding. It's normal for such a treasure to be targeted by them, which is why they've invited us repeatedly."
Ye Xiaotian's smile became more pronounced: "Wife, you can rest assured. Leave this matter to me. If they dare to have any ulterior motives, I will definitely make them regret it."
"Trust my strength. If I want to deal with them, it's easy."
"Besides, they've already set their sights on our company. If we don't fight back, they'll take advantage of us. It's better to slap them back the moment they try to get ahead."
Chu Nianxue hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Alright then, I'll call them now. If you want to attend the banquet, it's best not to be too impulsive. Do you need me to accompany you?"
She knew Ye Xiaotian was telling the truth. Some things were destined from the start.
Even if their company didn't provoke the Xu family, since the other party had set their sights on them, they would definitely take a piece of them, perhaps even seeing them as a cake.
If they didn't cooperate, the consequences were unimaginable. The Xu family was using diplomacy first, and this step was unavoidable.
Moreover, to become a truly large company, the difficulties and opponents faced would gradually appear as their strength increased. After all, as long as they developed, they would occupy the market.
The market cake was only so big. The cake they ate was equivalent to snatching it from others, and those people would naturally not stand idly by. This was how business worked.
After contacting them, Chu Nianxue's face showed a look of surprise.
Ye Xiaotian asked with a smile: "Wife, is the time set?"
In fact, he had already heard the content of the phone call, but he still asked.
Chu Nianxue nodded: "The time has been set. They seem very eager and want to meet tonight."
"They are staying at the Blue Sky Hotel and said we can go over anytime. It's best to rush there now, as they seem to have something important to leave for."
"I already regret making this call. If they have something to leave for, they might temporarily give up attacking us, and we could gain more development time."
"We are still too weak to confront the Xu family. Even if the Xu family's business is not primarily developed here, just a branch company is enough for us to struggle."
Ye Xiaotian's smile remained brilliant: "Wife, just leave this matter to me. I will handle it perfectly and ensure they don't dare to plot against us again, and they will retreat."
"If they want to cooperate with us later, they will have to offer sufficient benefits."
After speaking, he turned and walked out: "Wife, wait for my good news!"
Chu Nianxue frowned slightly, always feeling that Ye Xiaotian was hiding something from her. But now that Ye Xiaotian had left, he didn't give her a chance to ask.
After Ye Xiaotian walked out of the villa, he glanced at the time. It was only a little past six in the evening.
It only took him more than twenty minutes to drive to the Blue Sky Hotel. He was informed of the room number for the reserved private room. When he arrived, he gently knocked on the door.
A man's voice immediately came from inside, and a few seconds later, the door opened.
This was not a dining private room at the hotel, but a guest room.
The man who appeared at the door looked to be around forty years old, wearing only a bath towel. He was a little over 1.7 meters tall, with a look of obvious astonishment on his square face.
He was waiting for Chu Nianxue here, but Ye Xiaotian was the one who arrived.
"Who are you?" Xu Cheng frowned.
His eyes also showed strong displeasure. He wasn't in a hurry to leave, but rather eager to get Chu Nianxue.
Since he had met her, he had been captivated by her beauty.
He was unaware of the events that had occurred in their families. Currently, as the general manager of the branch, he was attracted by Chu Nianxue's beauty and wanted to get his hands on her first, and then slowly take over Chu's Group.
At that time, he would have both wealth and pleasure.
Ye Xiaotian glanced at the man's appearance and understood what he was thinking. His smile became even more pronounced: "I'm here today to talk about the issues between our two companies."
"You've been calling my wife, wanting to invite her over, but when we get here, you directly lead her into this guest room, and judging by your appearance, your intentions are impure, right?"
Xu Cheng sneered: "President Chu really looks down on me. She didn't come herself and sent you instead."
"But it doesn't matter if I tell you. I am indeed interested in your wife. Your wife is very beautiful. Even though she's a married woman, I don't care. As long as I can get her, it will be enough for me to have fun for several years."
"After I'm done playing, I can give her to other family members. I believe with Chu Nianxue's beauty, she will definitely satisfy our other family members..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xiaotian raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.
Xu Cheng was stunned, seeing stars and involuntarily taking a few steps back.
The burning pain on his face made his anger surge.
"You little bastard, how dare you hit me!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Even Chu Nianxue has to be respectful in front of me. Inviting her here is giving her face."
However, as soon as his words fell, Ye Xiaotian kicked him again, sending him flying and smashing into the coffee table, which fell to the ground.
The shattered coffee table's glass shards pierced his body, and screams of pain came from his mouth.
Ye Xiaotian smiled and closed the room door. The soundproofing in this room was excellent, as it was a star-rated hotel. Even if someone screamed inside, no sound could be heard outside.
