"You..."
"You damn scoundrel."
When it came to passive-aggression, ten Mo Ling couldn't match one Song Qiao. In just a few words, she was almost driven to jump.
"Useless trash, you have no ability, you only know how to talk nonsense here."
Mo Ling trembled with anger. After thinking for a long time, she finally retorted.
She couldn't understand why she had to take someone like Song Qiao as seriously as Ye Zhiwei.
Originally, according to her plan, she was going to concentrate all her strength to deal with Song Qiao and cripple his "Xiang Piaopiao" completely.
This would also allow her to vent her anger from the resort.
However, this plan was met with strong opposition from her elders at home. They unanimously believed that Song Qiao was difficult to deal with and required careful consideration.
This greatly angered Mo Ling, forcing her to change her original plan.
"What's wrong, Lingling, who made you so angry?"
Just as Mo Ling was hopping with rage, a stylishly dressed young woman got out of the car.
Seeing this person emerge from the car, Ye Zhiwei froze on the spot, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
"It's you?"
"Li Bingqing!"
Upon hearing this name, Ye Zhiwei felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Song Qiao, this person is from the Li family in the capital. Their strength is much greater than our Ye family's. Now that she's with Mo Ling, perhaps the two families have already joined forces."
"Coupled with the Qingyuan Group from earlier, we might be in big trouble this time."
While the other party was walking over, Ye Zhiwei quickly introduced Song Qiao.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Bingqing appeared before them with an air of superiority.
"Ye Zhiwei, is it you who angered my friend?"
"I didn't expect your Ye family to become so bold these days, daring to provoke the friends of our Li family."
Mo Ling also did not expect Li Bingqing to appear so ostentatiously. She had originally intended to use her as a trump card.
"Li Bingqing, are you representing the Li family to declare your stance to me? I'll tell you, our Ye family is not to be trifled with."
Upon seeing the other's attitude, Ye Zhiwei's stubborn temper was ignited, and her tone became even more assertive.
"Heh, I didn't expect that after two years, you've become more arrogant. Could it be that the little nobody next to you gave you the courage?"
Li Bingqing said, laughing openly with Mo Ling without any pretense.
"Sister Bingqing, you guessed correctly. He's just a piece of trash who got lucky by chance, and Ye Zhiwei treats him like a treasure."
With the support of two forces, Mo Ling now seemed to see victory within reach.
"Alas, some people truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. The competition hasn't even begun, and they're already celebrating with champagne."
Although Song Qiao was somewhat shocked that Mo Ling could gain the support of the Li family, he still calmly began to mock and satirize.
"I think it's you who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Three families have joined forces against your two, and you're dragging them down. I worry for your fate."
"Just wait and see. I believe that it won't be long before your two families are completely divided and devoured by us."
"Lingling, let's go. Let them deceive themselves here."
After speaking, Li Bingqing calmly took Mo Ling's hand, and the two returned to the car together.
"Song Qiao, the situation might really be a bit bad this time. Why don't you just withdraw quickly?"
"Mo Ling's primary target is actually me. Your 'Xiang Piaopiao' is merely caught in the crossfire."
"If you choose to withdraw now, you might be able to stay out of trouble."
After the two left, Ye Zhiwei's expression immediately changed. She looked at Song Qiao with a worried face and advised him.
Song Qiao found himself in a situation that was both comical and exasperating.
He didn't expect the usually bright and confident Ye Zhiwei from his past life to have such a pessimistic side.
He gently flicked her nose and smiled, saying, "If I don't stay, perhaps our two families will still have a chance to win. But if I leave, Lan Hai will truly be in danger."
"Furthermore, with Mo Ling's vindictive nature, after dealing with Lan Hai, she'll likely turn her attention to me."
"When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. I absolutely cannot retreat at this time."
"But..."
Just as Ye Zhiwei was about to say more, Song Qiao waved his hand and interrupted her.
"But what? Even if Mo Ling has the support of the Li family, with me here, I still have a considerable chance of defeating them."
As Song Qiao spoke, he inadvertently displayed all the dominance he had accumulated from his years in the business world, creating an aura around him.
This instantly restored the courage of Ye Zhiwei, who had been filled with pessimism.
For some reason, she just believed that Song Qiao would help her achieve victory.
...
Meanwhile, inside Mo Ling's car.
"Sister Bingqing, why did you get out of the car so suddenly? Wouldn't that give them advance warning?"
Mo Ling asked Li Bingqing with some concern.
"Oh my, Lingling, you're too cautious in your actions."
"I simply couldn't stand that fellow surnamed Song mocking you, nor that shrew Ye Zhiwei pretending to be so high and mighty all day."
Li Bingqing waved her hand nonchalantly, completely unconcerned with any plans.
"Lingling, do we really need to act like we're facing a formidable enemy just to deal with Ye Zhiwei and a nobody?"
"I think it's just that group of elders at home who don't understand the situation and are treating that fellow surnamed Song as an expert."
"This time, let's sisters prove to them that Ye Zhiwei and Song Qiao are both garbage."
As Li Bingqing spoke, she clenched her fist tightly, clearly having harbored dissatisfaction with Ye Zhiwei for a long time.
"That's true. This cooperation is practically a sure thing. They won't be able to make any waves."
After Li Bingqing's persuasion, Mo Ling unconsciously lowered her guard.
...
As soon as Song Qiao returned to his car, Secretary Gao suddenly called.
"Secretary Gao, what instructions do you have for me so late at night?"
Their relationship had grown closer, and their interactions had become more casual.
"Xiao Song, I've heard recently that many companies from other provinces have been capturing a significant portion of our city's market. If this continues, it will be detrimental to our local enterprises."
"After careful consideration, I'm planning to establish a Commercial Alliance Conference here. All companies operating within our city are welcome to join. What do you think?"
Song Qiao's eyebrows immediately shot up upon hearing this, a sense of pleasant surprise filling his heart.
He had been worrying about not finding good partners, and Secretary Gao had just sent him a savior.
He chuckled and praised the secretary.
"That's wonderful! I'll be the first to participate then."
"Oh, you can't just participate. With my guarantee, the first chairman of this chamber of commerce will be you, Song Qiao."
"Tomorrow is the ribbon-cutting ceremony. As the chairman, you must be there on time and absolutely cannot be late."
After Secretary Gao finished speaking, before Song Qiao could fully react to his surprise, he hung up the phone.
