Chapter 1199: Take Action Personally
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The project that the Han Corporation and the Mu Corporation had been collaborating on had been terminated because of the shoddy construction materials issue. Qiao Ximin had been racking her brains in order to have the Qiao family take over the project, and she had wanted to discuss it with Mu Feichi personally. However, in the end, Gu Baifan stopped her.
The project fell into the hands of the Qiao Corporation, and when the news was released, it shocked everyone.
Coupled with the mayor’s project that had previously been agreed on, two big projects had now been awarded to the Qiao family. They seemed to be the biggest winners among the families in Jingdu. The Qiao family had been hiding their strength and biding their time. In an instant, they had jumped in front of almost everyone.
The stock price of the Qiao Corporation soared, and, as the Chairman, Qiao Dehao was so happy that he wanted to announce it to the world.
This was especially so because the Han Corporation had been severely damaged. The sudden surge of this once low-profile family made some old foxes sense a change was happening in the capital.
As the Chairman, Qiao Dehao naturally knew that the current situation was an opportunity and a challenge for the Qiao Corporation.
If they kept a low profile, they might miss this opportunity to strengthen their family.
Furthermore, stealing the Han Corporation’s project was undoubtedly a massive blow to the Han Corporation. Once the Han Corporation had the chance to rise again, they would definitely attack the Qiao Corporation. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
In order to completely solve any future problems that could be posed by the Han Corporation, as Yun Xi had predicted, the Qiao family quickly joined the attack against the Han Corporation.
Qiao Dehao, who placed his benefits above everything else, was even more ruthless than the others. He was afraid that the Han Corporation would rise from the ashes and have a chance to take revenge on the Qiao family.
…
Yun Xi sat cross-legged on a rattan chair and turned to look at Gu Baifan, sitting on the sofa opposite her. “Baifan, do you have any spies who have infiltrated the Prime Minister’s camp? The kind who can speak with the Prime Minister?”
Gu Baifan nodded. After pondering for a moment, he said, “There is one. Back in the day, it was the Young Commander who asked their family to take over the post of the Prime Minister so that it would be easier to get information from that camp.”
“That’s good. Get them to report the current situation of the Han Corporation to the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister gets involved, the current predicament of the Han Corporation can definitely be resolved. Furthermore, he can successfully rope in the Han Corporation to his side.”
Gu Baifan adjusted his glasses and shook his head with a smile. “Little Yun Xi, you’re attracting enemies for yourself. Once the Han Corporation rises from the ashes, they’ll be the first to attack you.”
“No, first, they will attack the Qiao family. They hate the Young Commander and me simply because we did not lend them a helping hand. However, the Qiao family is really attacking them. Moreover, the Qiao family has snatched away their project with the Mu Corporation, making things worse for the Han family. Although the Qiao family is on the Prime Minister’s side, the Han family is not going to take this lying down. You will have to work harder. Collect some evidence that the Qiao family is helping to suppress the Han family. When the time comes, send it to the Han family as well.”
Gu Baifan nodded and glanced at the man opposite him. “Okay, I’ll send someone to collect the information. However, once you attend the board meeting of the Han Corporation, Han Yaotian should be able to guess that it was the Young Commander who attacked the Han family. Even if you were plotting behind the scenes, the blame will still be on the Young Commander…”
Just as Yun Xi was about to answer him, the man sitting beside her, who had had no intention of interrupting, suddenly looked up, his eyes dark. “When have I ever been afraid of them? Even if I want to settle the score, I’ll settle it with them myself. Once the Prime Minister interferes, Han Hongbin will be released on bail very soon. I have so many dirty secrets of the Han Corporation in my hands, that if Han Hongbin was smart, he wouldn’t have the guts to make trouble with me.”
Gu Baifan looked at him worriedly. “But there’s no guarantee that he won’t make trouble with Yun Xi.”
“After this incident, if Han Hongbin still hasn’t learned his lesson, it’s useless even if the Prime Minister protects him. I will take action personally.”
Yun Xi and Gu Baifan looked at each other, but they did not say anything.
Even if Han Hongbin was released, Yun Xi had no plans to give the Han family another chance to rise from the ashes.
