The smoke from the tea was thick and the fragrance of the tea was in the air. The fragrance was one that was fleeting, yet elegant.
At this time, someone knocked on the door of the tea room.
Zhou Huiyan answered the door. The old man who previously led the way for Wen Xinya was holding a box. He slowly walked in and said, “The owner said that there are friends who have come from afar, it is a joy indeed. This box of Biluochun is for Miss Wen, it has a unique taste.”
After which, he handed the box over to Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya was surprised and called for Zhou Huiyan.
Zhou Huiyan smiled and said, “The owner of the tea room is an eccentric person. He has spent his life cultivating numerous tea of high quality. However, not many people have the opportunity to taste them. In the community, his tea is as rare as gold. However, if you manage to catch his eye, he would gift his exquisite tea to you. Since he has good intentions, do accept it!”
Wen Xinya did not expect to have the opportunity to catch his eye.
She was pleasantly surprised and took the box courteously. “Please help me thank the owner for the gift and for the honor.”
Previously, Wen Xinya had learned from Aunt Zhou that the owner here was a highly respected man, and she did not dare live up to the honor of receiving a gift from such a man.
***
After meeting Aunt Zhou, Wen Xinya’s heart felt heavy.
Wen Xinya massaged her temples and said, “We have underestimated Boya Pavilion. Boya Pavilion’s owner’s ambition is larger than I expected. It seems like the fate of the capital city is about to change.”
Even Zishan Club found it hard to manage on their own, let alone the Wen Corporation.
Si Yiyan replied thoughtfully, “The waters in the capital city are deep, like the power of Boya Pavilion. There seems to be danger lurking, and as long as everyone should take care of one another, and not look out for themselves only, as well as abide by the unwritten rules, they would not cause trouble.”
The more it involved personal benefit, the more important it was to abide by the rules.
In particular, he controlled the Jiayuan Club and came to power in the Capital City. His identity, however, was sensitive. His actions were influential. For example, when he was in control of Black Sunday, his actions shook the entire core of the Capital City, and it seemed as if the city lost its power for a while.
As such, although he once conducted an investigation on Boya Pavilion, to abide by the rules, he did not delve further, because Boya Pavilion and Wen Xinya did not actually have any conflict. Hence, he did not interfere.
Wen Xinya knew this as well. “The greater one’s power, the more restrained they are.”
No matter what country Si Yiyan was in, all his actions were watched closely. It was as if he was being watched by those in power at all times.
His every action was able to influence the overall situation.
Si Yiyan smiled and remained silent.
“I don’t know why Boya Pavilion is so daring to openly cause trouble in the Capital City, and I’m not sure what its plan is.” Wen Xinya was not sure why she felt a sense of unease in her heart, as if something major was about to happen.
“Actually, once you see past the surface of some things, it may not be that difficult to guess what they’re up to,” Si Yiyan said.
Ever since Boya Pavilion came into contact with Wen Xinya, he had been investigating Boya Pavilion and the information relevant to them, so as to be able to analyze its motive, and he finally discovered some useful information.
Wen Xinya opened her eyes wide and asked, “What did you find?”
Since Si Yiyan had already said that, it meant that he found what he had been looking for and possessed valuable information.
Si Yiyan said slowly, “I’m guessing that Boya Pavilion is a part of the Korean-Chinese Alliance and is working from the heart of the Capital City.”
Boya Pavilion’s secrecy made him suspicious.
At this moment, he held in his hands several pieces of information regarding the Korean-Chinese Alliance. When he investigated the banquets over the years, he found that those related to the Korean-Chinese Alliance were also more or less related to Boya Pavilion.
This was not a coincidence.
The Korean-Chinese Alliance probably thought that nobody would be able to gain possession of their secret information. Otherwise, they would not cause so much trouble in the Capital City.
Wen Xinya opened her eyes wide and calmed herself down after her shock subsided. “If they are a part of the Korean-Chinese Alliance, then Boya Pavilion’s secrecy and their actions would have an explanation.”
Boya Pavilion operated for many years in the Capital City and had a status like no other. Because of the banquet, they seemed to have multiple connections with several wealthy families in the upper-class society. They sure had a wide network.
However, Wen Xinya was still in shock.
She never would have expected that the Korean-Chinese Alliance would have infiltrated Zishan Club and made use of the club to enter Country Z’s circle of rights. Upon seeing their Plan S, it seems as if their plan had yet to be improved.
“During this time, be it the Xiao Family’s conflicts or Boya Pavilion’s owner watching over you and the secrets of Zishan Club, all of it seems irrelevant and unconnected, but everything is closely related to you. It seems that the Korean-Chinese Alliance is targeting the Wen Family.”
Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya wished to control the Xiao Corporation to defeat the Wen Corporation.
Boya Pavilion’s owner also watched over her and aimed to involve Wen Xinya in political conflict and use her to defeat the Wen Family.
The Korean-Chinese Alliance had penetrated Zishan Club, and it would be difficult for her to survive on her own.
“It looks like in the Korean-Chinese Alliance, Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya are very confident in taking over the Xiao Corporation. They have not gained control over the Xiao Corporation, yet they have begun to attack Wen Corporation to open up new opportunities for the Xiao Corporation and Li Corporation to expand their scale of influence in the Capital City.”
If Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya managed to gain control of the Xiao Corporation and combine both the Li and Xiao Corporations, they would gain dominance in the corporate world of Country Z, with one specializing in home electronics and one specializing in luxury brand items. Furthermore, with the support of the Boya Pavilion and Zishan Club, they would be undefeatable.
It was no wonder Boya Pavilion was able to cause trouble so openly in the Capital City.
“You have to be careful, the war between you and Xia Ruya has already begun.”
It was now the critical period in Plan S, and he could not reveal his identity at this time. Hence, he could only rely on Wen Xinya to fight Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan, while he continued perfecting the Plan S in secrecy.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Don’t worry! Although Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan planned their moves well, and although they have the help of the Korean-Chinese Alliance, they missed out Lanxin Company.”
This was her greatest weapon in her fight against Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan.
Today, Lanxin Company had entered the Country M’s market, and their sales had been good. They were slowly progressing into entering the European Market, and it was believed that it wouldn’t be long before Lanxin Company truly developed into an empire.
