Renovation plans for eighty-five shops?
And they’re under the flags of Tang, Wen, and Zhou, the three great clans?
The people present twitched at the corners of their mouths, and their eyes looking at Luo Ning beca increasingly frightful.
Wu Hao, the Jiang State district manager for the Shangke Hotel, truly regretted his guts by now. How could he have imagined that three of the Four Great Families would co to celebrate Luo Ning’s opening, and that it would be the three young misses who ca.
In Jiangling City, who didn’t know that these three young misses were doted on by their elders? Not to ntion anything else, just take Wen Biyu of Wen Corporation; at only twenty-five or twenty-six, she was already in command of most of Wen Corporation’s assets.
It was rumored that if she were to cash in her shares, she could beco a billionaire in minutes, a genuine beauty with both wealth and looks.
Now, this young miss had actually taken the initiative to congratulate Mo Han, and her first move involved so many projects, which clearly indicated a great relationship between the two.
If it had only been one family, Wu Hao might not have felt so remorseful, but damn, all three families, Tang, Wen, and Zhou, had shown up—how could anyone withstand that?
Regretful alongside Wu Hao were Wu Zhihui of the Dynasty KTV and Dong Yi of the Yipinxiang Restaurant.
Their businesses were mostly concentrated in Jiangling City. On normal days, they had had no shortage of dealings with the Tang, Wen, and Zhou clans, though they were always with so lower-ranked managers. Even so, they had always been extrely subservient to these managers.
If they had known earlier that the three young misses had such a camaraderie with Mo Han, they would never have taken back their blueprints and cooperation agreents.
Alas, there is no dicine for regret in this world, and even if they were to now shalessly seek cooperation, it’s likely that both Miss Luo and Mister Mo would refuse, and they might even anger the Tao Family and the young master Nie.
"Ning’er, what’s wrong with you? Miss Wen is speaking to you."
Seeing Luo Ning dumbstruck, unable to speak, Mo Han hastily reminded her, "The renovation of eighty-five shopfronts—are you taking it or not?"
"Take it! Of course, I’ll take it!"
Luo Ning only then snapped out of it. With a dry laugh, she dispelled the awkwardness from before and said to Wen Biyu, "However, the order really is quite large. Our studio doesn’t have many people at the mont, and I fear we won’t be able to complete it in a short ti..."
"That’s not a problem. The renovation of eighty-five shops won’t be all at once. Just draw up a schedule on your side, Miss Luo. As long as it’s completed within a year, it’ll be fine."
Wen Biyu glanced at Tang Chuchu and Zhou Xintong beside her and smiled slightly, "Chu Chu, Xintong, what do you think?"
Tang Chuchu stole a glance at Luo Ning and couldn’t help but sigh. Such a beautiful girl. No wonder Big Brother Mo doesn’t give the ti of day.
Zhou Xintong also took the opportunity to examine Luo Ning. Her incredibly beautiful face, graceful figure, and the pure, untainted aura she exuded were enough to captivate anyone, even a woman like herself.
"Hey, Chu Chu, Xintong, what are you looking at?"
Seeing her two younger sisters ignore her, Wen Biyu frowned and waved her delicate hand in front of them.
"I’ll listen to Sister Biyu."
Tang Chuchu was the first to recover and pouted, "Our family has so many businesses, and the renovation of over thirty shops can be postponed at any ti."
Zhou Xintong blushed and replied, "My family is pretty much the sa; it all depends on Miss Luo’s plan."
As she spoke, she changed her tone, looking at Luo Ning and asked, "Miss Luo, what skincare products do you normally use? How is your skin so fair?"
Seeing Zhou Xintong steer the conversation towards skincare products, Tang Chuchu also perked up, "Yeah, Miss Luo, I’ve never seen anyone as pretty as you before. What skincare products do you use? Share with us."
Luo Ning gave an awkward smile then briefly introduced the skincare products she used.
Seeing Luo Ning chatting happily with the three young misses, apart from astonishnt, Tao Wenqiang’s face also showed deep wariness.
Although their Tao Corporation would eventually have to confront the Four Great Families in Jiangling due to business, the timing was not yet ripe. Moreover, they had recently been dealt a blow by Park Biotechnologies Group, causing their stock price to plumt.
There was really no need to antagonize Tang, Wen, and Zhou at this point.
Seeing Tao Wenqiang’s serious and stern deanor, Nie Huihuang knew the man had his concerns.
In such a situation, it was ti for him to take action.
With a stern face, he instructed his assistant, "Xiao Zhou, make arrangents on your end to have the relevant departnts in Jiangling conduct a thorough investigation!"
"The Tang Group’s overseas shipping is rumored to involve smuggling illegal goods. Ask customs to look into it."
"Wen Corporation’s chain of pharmacies has repeatedly had tax issues. Have the tax bureau intervene for a thorough investigation."
"And the Zhou Group has recently purchased land at an unusually low price. I suspect underhanded dealings. Notify the housing authority to conduct a rigorous review."
These accusations were actually baseless and even if a real investigation were launched, it would turn up nothing of consequence.
However, just the involvent of these relevant departnts would certainly impact the business of the three clans, and the resulting losses could be significant.
As the heir apparent of the Nie Family, a second-tier family in Dragon City, Nie Huihuang indeed had the connections to mobilize these relationships to intimidate the three clans!
Nie Huihuang’s voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Mo Han, Tang Chuchu, Wen Biyu, and Zhou Xintong to hear.
Mo Han’s expression turned cold; he disliked Nie Huihuang’s underhanded maneuvers the most.
If you’ve got the guts, face off fairly—mano a mano!
What kind of hero hides behind others, setting traps!
Tang Chuchu’s expression also soured as she mumbled, "So so-called big shot of Dragon City playing these trashy gas, pfft!"
Zhou Xintong crossed her arms and said coldly, "Zhou Corporation has always acted uprightly! We have never feared any investigation! But it’s curious how so families resort to despicable ans in their climb to the top!"
"As it goes, what’s done under heaven will be seen by the heavens! I don’t believe certain people and families can continue to thrive unscathed like this forever!"
Wen Biyu nodded, her voice chilling. "Investigate our Wen family pharmacies? Fine! The Wen family will fully cooperate with the investigation!"
"However, it’s only proper to return the favor!"
"From today onward, the Wen Family will spare no effort to investigate the dark secrets of a certain Dragon City big shot!"
