After a few rounds of competition between Mrs. Yang and Bai Hui, it reached a point where either one of them had to go.
Bai Hui’s remarks indeed offended the circle of ladies, and later on, unless necessary, everyone privately avoided interacting with her.
However, Bai Hui seed to be doing quite well in the Zhang Group.
Mrs. Yang sighed slightly as she spoke.
"Bai Hui doesn’t even consider why she could enter the company after marrying into the Zhang Family; wasn’t it because her husband helped her? But she, she doesn’t care about her husband at all."
"Really?" Lin Zhiyi said in surprise.
Mrs. Dai nodded: "Yes, I’ve talked business with her husband, and she was also present at the ti. She was very outspoken in her rebuttals. If it weren’t for her husband covering for her, who knows how many people she would have offended."
Mrs. Wei continued: "Back then, when the Bai Family went bankrupt and fled abroad, it was her husband who protected her so she could remain esteed in Hai City as Mrs. Zhang. But she spared no effort in seizing her husband’s power."
Mrs. Yang took a sip of tea and said lightly, "When her husband died unexpectedly, her first response wasn’t to deal with the incident but to stay put at the Zhang Group with the will. Even though everyone knew the company was vulnerable at that ti, she was just too cold-hearted as a wife."
Mrs. Wei pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I heard so rumors that President Zhang’s accident was very coincidental. It was just that the evidence was cut off then, and the Zhang family had no way to deal with Bai Hui. Moreover, Bai Hui had already obtained a lot of power before, so they could only watch her take control of the Zhang Family."
Lin Zhiyi was listening intently.
She always thought Bai Hui’s marriage was forced, but hearing all this, it seed like the Zhang Family treated Bai Hui well.
Then why does Bai Hui, without any enmity, beco so aggressive?
Mrs. Dai, who was the behind-the-scenes person in her family company, revealed so information with her next words.
"Bai Hui is an ambitious woman, but I don’t think her ambition lies in the Zhang Group. It’s just that later on, the Bai Family kept running into trouble, and even though she married out, she still got implicated. Recently, the Zhang Group hasn’t been peaceful."
"I’ve heard about this too. The affair with the Bai Family was so huge that even Mr. Sang got involved, though Mr. Sang was upholding justice. As for Bai Hui... who knows if she was involved in the Bai Family’s matters? If anything gets uncovered in the future, everyone cooperating with her would be dood." Mrs. Yang said.
Gossip-loving Mrs. Wei chuckled: "Just because you won’t cooperate with her doesn’t an she can’t find a way out. Just think about it, she’s managed to take the company from the Zhang Family; she certainly won’t sit idly by."
Mrs. Yang asked curiously, "What’s going on?"
Even Mrs. Dai seed not to know what had happened.
Mrs. Wei smiled with her cup in hand: "I heard Bai Hui has been roping in small and dium-sized companies."
"No way, right?" Mrs. Yang exclaid in surprise.
"Hai City is a big trading tropolis. You may not care for one small or dium-sized company, but if you put together a dozen or so, it’s enough for a full al. People without ambitions wouldn’t stay in Hai City. Besides, there are quite a few ruthless individuals in these companies who will do anything. Who knows what will happen in Hai City’s circle in the future, but hopefully, it won’t affect us," Mrs. Wei implied.
Lin Zhiyi thought, Mrs. Wei is indeed impressive; she’s practically an intelligence agent.
In her previous life, she had read a lot of news but hadn’t heard about Bai Hui or Sang Li.
So, it must be so changes or advancents in events caused by her rebirth.
Lin Zhiyi already felt sowhat indebted to Sang Li and maybe could use her social connections to help him.
Lin Zhiyi pondered for a while and gave a clueless smile to the three ladies.
"I may not understand business matters, but I see that all three of you are bold and smart won. What this President Bai is doing indeed poses many hidden dangers. You could totally unite with other ladies to prepare early. Ruthless people are bound to be greedy. We don’t know the current target, but anyone could beco a target in the future. Healthy competition is fine, but what if they’re aiming for sothing else?"
The three remained silent, but their raised teacups stayed untouched.
Evidently, they took Lin Zhiyi’s words to heart.
The business world is unpredictable, with shifting alliances.
If Bai Hui is gathering people, Lin Zhiyi can also use different thods to gather people.
Mrs. Dai perceived the deeper aning and looked at Lin Zhiyi: "President Lin doesn’t seem like soone who doesn’t understand business, rather soone who’s been advised."
Lin Zhiyi smiled and explained: "Since I want to grow my studio, I naturally have to learn. But this is just my personal opinion. After all, I believe we won are no less capable than n. If we unite, we can also achieve sothing."
"You’re right, but this matter requires soone to take the lead and find a strong support, otherwise all our efforts would be in vain," Mrs. Wei said helplessly.
Mrs. Yang said: "Old Yang said recently the situation in Hai City isn’t great; we need to protect ourselves to go far."
Mrs. Dai said nothing, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Lin Zhiyi then used the words she learned from Gong Chen.
"When the situation isn’t good, that’s when there’s opportunity. From what you’ve all said, if this Bai Hui truly is an ungrateful woman, would she let the big piece of at around her grow bigger? Wouldn’t it be too late to unite then?"
A crisis can also be an opportunity.
Though these ladies aren’t sitting at the negotiation table, this tea table before them could still determine the outco.
Mrs. Dai put down her teacup and said: "I agree. Don’t forget, Bai Hui has always looked down on us idle ladies. After the Bai Family’s arrest, many laughed at her. Although she didn’t say anything, she’s certainly not soone to forget."
Hearing this, Mrs. Yang pursed her lips.
"I might have said a few things about her, but she hasn’t been short of sarcastic remarks towards either."
Mrs. Wei said: "Since we’ve talked this far, let’s go back and make so efforts."
The other two nodded.
Lin Zhiyi quickly changed the topic: "This topic’s a bit heavy. The rest you can discuss privately; let’s continue talking about jewelry."
After finishing their conversation, Lin Zhiyi saw the three ladies out.
Just as she was about to sit down to drink so tea, her phone rang.
It was a ssage from Mrs. Dai.
"I found out from Mrs. Wei, I know you must have soone backing you, tell your backer that I’m willing to lend a hand."
Lin Zhiyi showed it to Chen Jin beside her.
Chen Jin said: "Mrs. Dai is trying to show goodwill, she probably also wants to confirm your intentions today."
Lin Zhiyi nodded: "She truly is an impressive woman, likely having already perceived changes in Hai City’s business circle and simply waiting for to say sothing."
Chen Jin said seriously: "This might also be a way to connect with more ladies."
Lin Zhiyi agreed, noticing that Mrs. Dai clearly thought further ahead than others.
The other ladies enjoyed watching her reactions; perhaps she could use this to build connections.
Lin Zhiyi imdiately replied to the ssage.
"Thank you, Mrs. Dai, I’ll pass on your ssage."
Mrs. Dai sent a smiling emoji; it seed the two would be working together.
...
Lin Zhiyi imdiately had Chen Jin take her to Sang Group.
Unexpectedly, Gong Chen was there too.
"What are you two planning now, sneaking around?"
