"I can't believe Song Qiao is this kind of person, it's simply unreasonable."
"No, I must tell Yuqing about this and make sure this scumbag faces the consequences he deserves."
With that thought, he picked up his phone, ready to call Xia Yuqing and have her rush over to catch him in the act.
But then he reconsidered. His own job prospects were still uncertain. If he exposed Song Qiao now, even if Song Qiao's power was limited, it could still cause him considerable trouble if he decided to retaliate.
"Forget it. Once I'm settled and become the chairman's secretary, I'll expose this jerk thoroughly."
"Until then, it's best to endure and strike a fatal blow later."
...
Song Qiao quickly broke free from the embrace, glancing somewhat awkwardly at Xia Xueqing.
Xia Xueqing was in her prime, beautiful and so forward. Though he was trying his best to restrain himself, he had almost crossed the line just now.
However, Xia Xueqing showed no embarrassment. She calmly slid off Song Qiao, as if nothing had happened, and smoothly changed the subject.
In her heart, she was already secretly delighted. Her brother-in-law hadn't rejected her this time; success seemed within reach.
During this period, it would be best to create some misunderstandings between her sister and brother-in-law, leading to a major fallout, after which she could reap the rewards.
Just as Song Qiao was awkwardly unsure what to say, Ye Zhiwei's call finally rescued him from his predicament.
"Song Qiao, I heard Mo Ling has raised a large sum of capital and is now aggressively targeting our Blue Sea in the stock market."
"Furthermore, the Li family has also openly announced their involvement. The real attack is probably imminent."
"Do you have any solutions right now?"
Ye Zhiwei's voice was anxious, clearly overwhelmed by the situation.
Song Qiao, however, showed no panic. He smiled calmly and reassured Ye Zhiwei, "Zhiwei, don't panic. I've anticipated this for a long time."
"For now, let these two families have their fun. We just need to consolidate our funds. At the crucial moment, I will deliver a fatal counterattack."
"Then you can just watch us reel them in, and I guarantee a complete victory."
"But..."
As Ye Zhiwei was about to say more, Song Qiao continued to reassure her:
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Don't lose your composure now and give these people an opportunity."
Seeing Song Qiao's confidence, Ye Zhiwei finally managed to calm her own emotions.
As soon as the stock market opened this morning, Blue Sea's stock began to plummet, which had unsettled her.
Now, Song Qiao's words were like a shot of reassurance, allowing her to regain her usual composure.
After hanging up, Song Qiao hesitated for a moment, then dialed another number on his phone.
When the call connected, there was silence on the other end, no sound at all.
Song Qiao got straight to the point:
"Continue to play the long game. Don't make a move now. Wait for my notification."
"Understood, boss. I'll be ready."
A strong, resonant male voice replied from the other end of the line.
Song Qiao nodded slightly, not wanting to waste any more words, and hung up.
...
Coincidentally, Wu Meng had also finished her interview. Song Qiao drove the two women back to Xia Yuqing's company.
"Yuqing, get ready to consolidate our company's funds."
"I expect a tough battle in the next few days."
As soon as Song Qiao returned, he informed his wife about the situation.
"What? You're really going to help Ye Zhiwei fight against those three families head-on?"
"Are you crazy? When gods fight, why are you jumping into the fray? We don't have that kind of wealth."
As expected, Xia Yuqing strongly objected upon hearing the news.
"This is a last resort. I don't want to confront them, but if I don't help, Ye Zhiwei might not make it through this."
Song Qiao hesitated before explaining to his wife.
"But that doesn't mean we should risk our entire fortune! What happens if we lose? What's your relationship with Ye Zhiwei that you're so eager to help her?"
Xia Yuqing was so angry she was trembling.
"Do you realize we can't even contend with just the Li family from the capital, let alone add a behemoth like Glorious Group?"
"You're an adult, yet you always act on impulse."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but throw the financial statements into Song Qiao's hands.
"I have a high degree of confidence in this matter. We don't necessarily have to lose. I still have New Kai Capital."
Seeing his wife's emotions about to spiral out of control, Song Qiao quickly tried to placate her.
"You're just a puppet they installed, really thinking too highly of yourself. If things truly get out of hand, you'll probably be the first to be sacrificed."
Xia Yuqing became more and more indignant, until she was so angry she could barely breathe.
"But Ye Zhiwei is my friend, and she has helped us before. Tianhong's biggest partner is still Blue Sea. We can't just stand by and do nothing, can we?"
Repeatedly rejected by his wife, Song Qiao couldn't help but feel a bit angry.
He wasn't a heartless person, and he couldn't believe his wife had so quickly forgotten that kindness.
"Can't you be more rational? I'm saying that even if we help, it won't make a difference. You're thinking too highly of yourself."
"I've felt for a long time that there's something off about your relationship with Ye Zhiwei. I didn't expect you to throw yourself into the fire for her. Do you even care about me anymore?"
"Anyway, you're the chairman of Tianhong. If you want funds, take them. I don't care anymore. If you continue to be stubborn and end up losing everything, don't come crying to me."
Xia Yuqing finished speaking and began to gather her belongings, preparing to go home.
"I told you, I will help Ye Zhiwei, and I will win."
Song Qiao gritted his teeth and continued.
"Go tell that to ghosts. I'm not believing a word of it."
Xia Yuqing finished speaking, turned around, and walked out of the office.
"Brother-in-law, don't be anxious. I support you in this. We'll definitely beat that Li Bingqing, and then we'll see how arrogant she can be."
Xia Xueqing saw that Song Qiao and her sister had parted on bad terms. She stuck out her tongue and comforted Song Qiao.
Song Qiao took a deep breath. He would not compromise on this matter, regardless of his wife's obstruction. He had to help Ye Zhiwei overcome this crisis.
