Ti flies quickly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, many things changed.
The Hongqing Group within the Hongn suffered significant setbacks, and Yuan Huai hired another business elite, soone who was also famous in the business world. But he had never handled such a battlefield before.
This was a battlefield of both white and black, which ordinary people couldn’t adapt to.
Ultimately, the result was a strategic shift by the Hongqing Group, shrinking its sphere of influence and consolidating its business.
This action had so effect, but their inco shrank considerably. If things continued like this, the Hongqing Group’s economy wouldn’t be able to support such a large Hongng.
Yuan Huai called everyone together, hoping to hear their opinions.
But they were outsiders to the economy and couldn’t offer any good suggestions.
Yuan Huai was sowhat anxious; if this matter wasn’t resolved, the Hongn would be ruined at his hands.
"Since nobody has any idea, let’s adjourn. Poison Rose, please stay." Yuan Huai said sowhat disappointedly.
Seeing this, the others also drifted away. A cloud hung over their hearts, always obscuring the hope for the future.
Jin Guozhong heard that Poison Rose stayed, so he stayed as well.
After the others left, Yuan Huai said, "I’ve got a task for you; send soone to kill the general manager of the Qinglu Group."
Yuan Huai was left with no choice; he was resorting to desperate asures.
Jin Guozhong had already thought of these things, then said, "I think we should wait. The competition between the two sides is fierce now. If their general manager dies now, they’ll definitely suspect us, which could trigger chaos."
Jin Guozhong’s concern is not unfounded. Behind the two major groups are two factions; for now, it’s just economic competition. If it really involves the forces behind, it would be a life-or-death struggle.
Poison Rose also frowned, not out of fear, but because if they acted, it would escalate the problem.
"Xiang Yu once said not to involve economic matters with the underworld; they should develop in parallel," Poison Rose said.
"We can’t worry about that now. If we don’t take action, the Hongqing Group is done for," Yuan Huai insisted.
"How about we wait until Xiang Yu cos back?" Poison Rose suggested.
"He’s been missing for a month. We don’t know when he’ll be back; we can’t wait any longer," Yuan Huai insisted.
Jin Guozhong and Poison Rose exchanged a glance before saying, "How about we wait another week? If he’s not back in a week, we can rethink it?"
Yuan Huai was no fool; he could judge from their tone that they were reluctant.
The two in front of him were key figures in the Hongn; the Hongn still needed them.
Yuan Huai could only nod and say, "A week’s ti. If there’s no better solution, we’ll proceed with this plan."
After speaking, he left. At this mont, he hoped Xiang Yu would return quickly.
Now that the Hongn was in his hands, the pressure was imnse. He was truly afraid of causing the fall of the Hongn with a misstep, which would make him a criminal for ages.
anwhile, the Yuran Group was thriving under Sun Bo’s leadership. They were surviving in a gap.
The two major economic entities were at war, and many businesses worried about being affected, so so left while others hid.
Sun Bo used this opportunity to silently expand the Yuran Group.
Having been in the Hongqing Group, Sun Bo knew a lot about their internal information and had specifically investigated the Qinglu Group, which facilitated Yuran’s developnt.
During this period, Xiao Xuan had been quietly observing these things. With Xiang Yu not around, many things had factors of instability.
He had already linked up with Wu Jing, preparing the Tianlong squad to be on standby for tily intervention.
What he worried about was a rebellion within the Hongn. In the Hongn, Xiang Yu was the Sect Leader, and he had to ensure Xiang Yu’s position.
From the current situation, this possibility was not absent. Economic recession made many people eager to move.
In addition to these preparations, he often went to sit by the beach. Long Wu appeared there every day; he needed to ensure Long Wu’s safety.
Over this month, Xiao Xuan had grown a lot.
Sitting from afar, he reminisced about his days with Xiang Yu. Without Xiang Yu, he wouldn’t be where he was today, nor would he have avenged his parents.
"I wonder how Zhuzi is doing?" Xiao Xuan sighed as he looked at the sky.
At that mont, Tie Zhuzi was cooking in his little house. His life was very regular; after eating, he sat on a big rock, waiting for Xiang Yu to return.
During this period, people from the Wolf Fang approached him, hoping he would join them, and hinted that Xiang Yu was dead, without hope of return. The end result was that Tie Zhuzi beat them away with a flurry of blows.
A month may not be long or short. For those waiting for Xiang Yu, it’s undoubtedly long, as every day felt like a year as they awaited Xiang Yu’s return.
For Xiang Yu, however, this month passed swiftly. Living in the forest, he had a steady routine.
Every morning, he woke up and circled the mountain. The mountain air was excellent, without the smog or automobile exhaust of the city.
After exercising, he conversed with Wang Qian for a while, then played with Xiao Fei.
Xiang Yu’s health was steadily improving; he could jog but still couldn’t perform strenuous actions.
"Why don’t you two just stay here?" the woman said, looking at Wang Qian.
During this ti, they had gotten along well, especially Xiao Fei, who lived happily every day.
This made the woman very grateful to Xiang Yu and Wang Qian.
Wang Qian also wished to live in such a place. She sat and watched Xiang Yu and Xiao Fei play happily in the distance, then said, "You don’t know him; although he seems happy now, he’s burying a lot in his heart and just doesn’t express it."
The woman could guess but couldn’t understand what could mold Xiang Yu into such a person.
"Big brother, can I follow you forever?" Xiao Fei said innocently with wide eyes.
"I’m willing, but your mom would beat ," Xiang Yu said casually.
"Why?" Xiao Fei asked innocently.
"No particular reason," Xiang Yu coughed lightly; he couldn’t pass on his wicked thoughts to this child.
Xiao Fei, living in this isolated place, knew nothing. Xiang Yu didn’t want to prematurely taint her thoughts.
However, looking at Xiao Fei, who at thirteen already showed traces of beauty, she would surely beco a beauty.
"No way, I want to follow you my whole life; don’t think of tricking , my mom will agree," Xiao Fei pouted.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu could only smile wryly, unable to help but lant how won are naturally beguiling without anyone teaching them...
