Chapter 55 Not Seeking a Killing Sword
The hovercar flew over the eastern district of Graycore City, its shadow like lightning, leaving only a red trail that flashed and disappeared between the skyscrapers.
"Can you give me a break?"
Ye Qinghan rubbed her forehead, then quickly put it down, realizing that she had done this many times today.
Luo Yueli's elder brother is the successor of the [Qingcang Martial Alliance], and he was just at the venue.
The so-called martial arts alliance is similar in structure to a gang. Martial arts schools in various places are considered branches, but they are only similar in structure and completely different in nature. In period dramas, the leaders are all powerful officials who have retired behind the scenes. In this way, they avoid the open hereditary succession of titles and invest a lot of resources to allow their descendants to return to the center of power.
By convention, the various powerful figures in Cangzhou rotate positions in the power chain, thus ensuring the stability of the empire.
Both Qingcang Martial Alliance and Cangyan Power contain the character "Cang".
The faces of those two families were already quite grim; they were preparing for a political marriage.
Wang Qing did not embarrass himself; on the contrary, he highlighted the domineering nature of the Mercury Group. However, such an aggressive attitude was not conducive to business development, as it was being conducted on someone else's turf.
In both the business and political spheres, choosing sides is an art. Such a minor incident would normally be harmless, but Wang Qing not only took the bait but also escalated the situation, truly embarrassing others and himself, just like at a friendly match.
The music also has a hidden meaning, and it was specially commissioned for Lu Yunzhao.
The hovercar driver kept driving honestly, but inwardly he was chuckling, thinking, "You've finally messed up, haven't you? You've really embarrassed yourself."
"I was worried about your personality; I thought you would continue to humiliate others, so I left early."
Ye Qinghan had a stern face. Anyone with eyes could see the relationship between the two families, and this kind of behavior was the most infuriating.
"This isn't humiliation, is it?"
Wang Qing was speechless. Boss Ye was a little unhappy and didn't dare to gamble on online casinos.
This is nothing. He has no intention of arguing with the kid. He's just preparing for future expansion. He just saw what was going on. She's not a boyfriend, but even more intense than a boyfriend. She's practically a fiancé.
Huh? Liu Ziwen was damn right.
The driver glanced back and realized, "So you're the villain."
"Furthermore, isn't Cangyan Power a competitor? Even though it has a strong local presence thanks to policy channels, it would be better to find allies internally, form cliques and eliminate dissidents, sacrifice short-term gains to suppress the enemy, conceal long-term achievements and wait for the right time. After success, we don't seek the sword to kill, but only the priceless jade, to take over Cangzhou and replace it."
Wang Qing stated the simplest logic: in his view, Ye Qinghan would eventually be controlled by him, and the Mercury Group would have to obey his orders.
The driver's tongue is like cooking vegetables, no, you're so ruthless! My aunt really knows how to pick people. If this young man hadn't come to Mercury Group, he would definitely have been a good catch in the underworld.
Little did they know, Wang Qing was already a major boss in the underground shopping district.
Even Ye Qinghan was stunned for a moment. She had been transferred from headquarters to Cangzhou to solve various troubles here, but after several years, the financial report had not improved at all, which was also her pain point. Perhaps it was not as simple as internal adjustment and reshuffling; more radical methods were indeed needed.
Wang Qing realized that something was amiss again.
"I was just talking nonsense. Uncle doesn't know much about business, but we should still promote positive energy."
Wang Qing said in a serious tone that he was indeed not from this field. In the old cultivation world, people were indifferent to life and death and would fight if they were not convinced. Everyone was invincible. It was like the Heavenly Dao refining Gu, without so many twists and turns.
"Uncle? I need to set some rules for you. I already told you before we came that you can't talk without my permission. I'll let you off this time, but don't do it again. Otherwise, I'll have to punish you."
Wang Qing was incredibly arrogant, especially with the things he said before playing the piano. She once thought she might be embarrassed. People like him repeatedly win through their domineering behavior, which creates a path dependency and makes their personality difficult to change. Physical punishment would be necessary.
"corporal punishment----"
Wang Qing almost got into trouble with me. We're supposed to be in a cooperative, boss-employee relationship now, right? Why is she resorting to corporal punishment? I don't know if the closer relationship has made her mistaken, or if this woman is just neurotic.
"Let me take you home first. Where is it?"
Ye Qinghan asked.
Although I investigated his background, there was no need to record these bits and pieces of information.
"South District, Langting Community"
Back in his low-rent apartment costing 800 yuan a month, Wang Qing, who had just been a rising star half an hour earlier, felt wonderful.
Once the navigation pinpointed the exact location, Ye Qinghan glanced at the destination location on the center console. This location was slightly better than the abandoned industrial slums, but in terms of security, it was still worse than the slums.
Ye Qinghan rummaged through her handbag for property ownership cards; there were quite a few vacant properties.
"Here, take this. It's close to your school. I'll have someone pack it up tomorrow morning so you can move over as soon as possible."
In that kind of place, Ye Qinghan was worried that Wang Qing might be stabbed to death by a street urchin without any explanation while walking down the street. Although it was a rare occurrence, it was still a possibility.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye," Wang Qing said without ceremony, accepting the card. "And this outfit—"
Ye Qinghan took a deep breath. Given his behavior today, he was still putting on an act. She reminded him, "You can only wear a formal suit once. Don't wear it to formal occasions anymore. Wear it only when you meet your girlfriend in private."
She emphasized the words "little girlfriend," a sarcastic remark directed at his earlier behavior.
"I understand perfectly."
Wang Qing nodded. This is a good thing.
The driver drove silently, a bad feeling creeping into his mind. His aunt was being a bit too "spoiling" this guy. Not to mention Qi Du, even when they were working at headquarters, the top puppeteers and other assistants didn't receive this treatment. They were all subjected to PUA to the point of becoming withdrawn, and even physical punishment was used. It wasn't a guardian relationship; she was trying to get closer to the master-disciple relationship. This was the truth.
Speechless all the way.
Until the view outside the car window changed drastically, the elevated road was extremely clear, while the ground traffic was congested and became increasingly noisy.
The hovercar stopped outside the garbage-strewn community where Wang Qing lived.
The extremely imposing, angular, floating luxury car attracted the attention of many pedestrians. In the minds of these street kids in the South District, even a slight scratch could cost them their heads, so they didn't dare to take pictures. Rich people are wary of such things.
"I'm leaving now."
Wang Qing opened the car door to say goodbye.
"I'll have Wei Feng contact you if anything happens."
Ye Qinghan in the back seat did not turn her head, but looked straight ahead. Her long, icy-crystal-colored hair and flawless profile gave her an aloof and unapproachable air.
Wang Qing had nothing to say. He still didn't have the woman's phone number or Fetion message. How pretentious! Only allowing one-way summons?
"it is good."
Wang Qing got out of the car and prepared to close the door.
"How many more things are you hiding that I don't know about?"
Ye Qinghan suddenly asked a question, this time turning her head.
Wang Qing was greatly shocked. What kind of domineering CEO plot is this? You've successfully piqued my curiosity.
"There is one, but you probably already know that, right?"
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qinghan found this utterly incomprehensible.
Wang Qing paused for a moment, then his eyes suddenly sharpened. "I have seen dragons."
"There's also a callback option!"
The driver simply couldn't hold back anymore.
Ye Qinghan simply maintained a stern expression, not moving an inch, and used his spiritual power to press the button next to his seat. The car door closed automatically, and he quickly floated into the air, leaving the area.
Heading to our residence in the suburbs.
"Auntie, I really like this kid."
"Use your job title when you are at work."
Because he didn't understand anything, they just gave him a managerial position and made him Dangdang's driver.
"Isn't this what it means to not be working?"
Ye Feng looked miserable.
He was given the surname Ye because his father married into the family.
