“Judging from your current posture, I’m sure you’ll teach me a lot.”
Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi calmly.
“Hey, isn’t this a very normal posture? Although I’ve never tried it before, there doesn’t seem to be any problem with doing it in the bathtub, right?”
“As expected, people like you from the compound are still my favourite type.”
“Screw you.” Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, then pulled up her swimsuit, trying her best to block the waves her chest was creating.
“What did my mother say? How’s the situation now? What’s the progress? Tell me quickly,” Liang Ruoxu asked.
“Didn’t your mother tell you?”
“She told me not to ask around, so I don’t know what’s going on either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come over to ask you.”
“I don’t know either. My mother-in-law said that she’ll handle the rest. I don’t have to worry about it, so I’m waiting for the news.” Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu.
“You know Yanjing better than I do. What do you think?”
Liang Ruoxu shook his head. “The level of the parties involve is too high. I can’t guess this either, but the netizens this time are very supportive. After you spread the news, they actually took the initiative to accuse the opposing party of treason. This is a very big crime. I can guarantee that the Wang family won’t be able to withstand it. Even if they don’t fall from their position as the number one family, they will be greatly affected.”
Lin Yi pondered for a moment.
“If you rank all the families in Yanjing, where would your Liang family rank?”
Liang Ruoxu frowned slightly. It was obvious that she had never thought about this question before.
Because there were too many dimensions involved in this ranking, and she had yet to get involved in the real power dynamics, it was very difficult for her to guess this.
“There are two families that our Liang family can’t compare to. One of them is the Wang family and the other is the Lu family. However, don’t misunderstand. It’s not Lu Xuan and the others. They just have the same surname.”
“How powerful is this Lu Family? How different is it from the Wang Family?” Lin Yi asked.
“Actually, there’s not much of a difference between the two families in terms of power. The main difference is in their business,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“You should know about the four major corporations in Huaxia, right?”
“Huarun, Paulie, Citic, Merchants Bureau?”
“That’s right. The Merchants Bureau Group is in the hands of the Wang Family.” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Although the market value of the Merchants Bureau is not as great as the other three, the actual profits are greater than my mother’s Huarun. Therefore, controlling the Merchants Bureau is of great help to the Wang family’s status.”
“Because they sell war supplies.”
Liang Ruoxu nodded. “Therefore, among the four major corporations, the Merchants Bureau is a very special entity. Even Huarun can’t compare to it.”
“Then why didn’t the Lu family get involved?” Lin Yi asked.
“With their influence, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to take them down.”
“That’s for sure,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“But the Lu family has never had such intentions; they have always been self-sufficient. The true pillar of the Lu family is Lu Beichen, my grandfather’s former commanding officer. Just like Old Yang, they were both his subordinates.”
Hiss…
Inhaling sharply, Lin Yi exclaimed, “Your grandfather and Old Yang have reached such a high position today. Their status in Huaxia is probably already at its peak.”
“That’s pretty much the case. His status is about the same as Wang Zhongmin of the Wang family. He’s one of the top few individuals in the country.” Liang Ruoxu said.
“By the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you. The true leader of your Central Guards Brigade is Old Master Lu.”
“No way. There are only a few people in the Central Guards Brigade. He’s such a big shot. It’s a little overkill for him to manage such a small organization.”
“I don’t know about that.” Liang Ruoxu revealed a helpless expression. “He’s in charge of the Central Military Brigade. My grandfather didn’t tell me about anything else.”
Previously, Liang Ruoxu did not know about the Central Guards Brigade.
It was because Lin Yi had joined that he had deliberately asked around.
Initially, Liang Xianghe did not want to tell her, but Liang Ruoxu was smart enough to find out everything from her grandmother.
Her grandmother scolded Liang Xianghe and then told her about it.
However, he only said some superficial things and did not mention anything about the core structure.
Liang Ruoxu was tactful enough not to ask any more questions. This was because she was not qualified to know about the central matters. Otherwise, he would have to bear legal responsibility.
“Continue, other than these two families, where can your Liang family be ranked?”
Hmm…
Liang Ruoxu pondered for a moment. “There are approximately three other families that are slightly stronger than us but not to the extent of overpowering us. Meanwhile, there are about four to five families that are on par with us. However, if we consider families from other provinces, the ranking of the Liang family might be pushed back three to five positions. But their capabilities are similar to ours. Even if they are strong, it is limited. That should be the realistic situation.”
“I feel that with my mother-in-law’s intelligence, she should be able to rope the Lu family in.”
Before this, Lin Yi didn’t know anything about Yanjing, so he didn’t know how Shen Shuyi would handle this matter.
However, after hearing Liang Ruoxu’s explanation, he could vaguely tell what was going on.
The Wang Family and the Lu Family were the only two families that stood at the top. Naturally, only the Lu Family could keep the Wang Family in check.
Other than that, the person called Ye Futian was also Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather’s old class monitor. They had been through life and death together, so it was understandable for them to ask him for help.
Lin Yi also believed that Shen Shuyi must have been promised help if she dared to gamble on this opportunity. Otherwise, the risk would be too high. She definitely wouldn’t do it.
Lin Yi’s guess was very accurate. Shen Shuyi had indeed sought out the other party. Moreover, the family of three had met in secret and chatted in secret for a few hours.
However, apart from that, Shen Shuyi had also done a lot of homework. She had also asked Yang Guangxia to intercede.
The most important goal was to drag the Wang family down. The Lu family was the number one family in Huaxia, and no one could shake that!
However, the reason why he agreed was not only because of this, but also because of Lin Yi.
He already knew that Lin Yi was Lin Jingzhan’s son, but he didn’t take Lin Yi seriously.
It was not until Lin Yi achieved an unprecedented test result that he paid more attention to him.
Not long after, Lin Yi secretly uncovered the spy’s scheme and successfully captured Jimmy. He even obtained the genetic serum. This showed Lu Beichen the future hope of the Central Guards Brigade!
If he could uncover the secrets of the Tilia civilization in his lifetime, even if he passed in the future, no one would be able to ever shake the Lu family’s status!
Other than that, there was another factor that affected his decision.
Back then, Lin Jingzhan had caused a storm in Yanjing. Countless people had seen him as a thorn in their side, and he had helped to smooth things over.
Now that his son is in trouble, Lu Beichen recalls the past friendship and, coupled with the presence of so many people gathered here to discuss this matter, naturally chooses to offer assistance.
“Actually, 1 think that’s the case too,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Although my mother isn’t as good-looking as me, she’s still very steady in her work. If she wasn’t more than 50% confident, she probably wouldn’t have done this.”
“Hehe…”
“Huh? What are you laughing at?” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Am 1 wrong? You’ve known my mother for so long. You should know her temper.”
“There’s no need to talk about my mother-in-law’s intelligence. In any case, I’m impressed.” Lin Yi said.
“But you said that you’re prettier than my mother-in-law. Hehe, I can’t agree with you on this.”
“Hehe, my *ss!”
Liang Ruoxu pounced on Lin Yi and attacked his face for a while.
“Your eyesight isn’t good, is it? Open your eyes wide and take a look. With my figure and looks, which part of me is inferior to my mother?!”
Lin Yi wanted to cry.
He felt even more wronged than a matyr.
He could compare their facial features, but he didn’t know what his mother-in-law’s figure was like.
“Stop, stop, stop. You’re the prettiest. You’re prettier than Ji Qingyan.”
“I like the sound of that.”
Lin Yi patted Liang Ruoxu’s butt. “Let’s go. We’re almost done relaxing. Let’s go for a massage.”
When they arrived at the private room, Liang Ruoxu enjoyed a facial mask while Lin Yi was busy thinking about the Liang family.
Even though the discussion with Liang Ruoxu was in full swing just now, he was still unsure if this matter would succeed.
Therefore, he could not let his guard down.
However, according to what Liang Ruoxu had just said, if the Wang family could really be brought down, then the Liang Family’s status would definitely rise.
They would definitely become the top family second only to the Lu family.
Even if there were other families that were stronger than the Liang family, it would not be by much.
On the other hand, things would be much easier for him in the future.
As he thought about it, Lin Yi felt tired and fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already noon, and Liang Ruoxu had already left quietly.
After getting up and stretching, Lin Yi was in no hurry to leave. He fiddled with his phone for a while before calling the temporary number Shen Shuyi used to contact him.
“How’s the situation?”
“Everything is going well.”
“Okay.”
Shen Shuyi’s answer made Lin Yi lose his breath.
Although the matter had not been completely resolved, there should not be any big hurdles. Otherwise, Shen Shuyi would not have given him such an answer.
As expected, Shen Shuyi never fought an unprepared battle. Although there was a risk in this matter, the chances of winning were higher.
However, it was still unknown when this matter would come to an end. He might have to wait for a while.
In short, there was no need to worry about this anymore.
Lin Yi got up and stretched before giving Ma Huaiyang a call.
“President Lin, you were looking for me?”
“Help me make an appointment with the people in Sacred Farm Development. I want to see them.”
“Got it, President Lin. I’ll arrange it now.”
After hanging up Ma Huaiyang’s call, Lin Yi went to Chaoyang Group to have lunch with Ji Qingyan. At the same time, he shared the good news with her.
After learning that everything was going smoothly, she hugged Lin Yi’s face and kissed him a few times.
“That’s great. I knew it would be fine.”
“Actually, I didn’t do much. 1 was helped by others.”
“But the key to this matter is you. If you hadn’t settled the matters in Meiguo, all of this would have been empty talk.”
“You were still the one who supported me all the way.” Lin Yi said as he caressed her face.
“No, Mr. Lin is just too outstanding.”
Ring ring ring!
Lin Yi’s phone rang at this time. It was a call from Ma Huaiyang.
Ji Qingyan climbed off Lin Yi’s body. “You go ahead with your work. I happen to have work to do too. Let’s not delay each other.”
“Go on.”
When Ji Qingyan returned to her desk, Lin Yi picked up Ma Huaiyang’s call.
“President Lin, we’ve already agreed to meet at Huangjiang Clubhouse at 7 pm.”
“Huangjiang Clubhouse?”
“This is a Huaxian Chamber of Commerce. The members are all famous entrepreneurs in the coastal area. It’s equivalent to a rich foreign club.”
“These guys are always a case of being all talk and no action, always trying to show off. Always messing around with these formalistic things,” Lin Yi said.
“You should get ready too. Come with me tonight.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up Ma Huaiyang’s call, Lin Yi lay on Ji Qingyan’s sofa and played games. When he was tired, he went downstairs to play with Wang Ying for a while. Before he knew it, it was already five o’clock.
Sigh, daily life was just like that. It was boring and dull.
“Are you going out to socialize tonight?”
After a day of work, Ji Qingyan asked as she packed her things.
“I’m going out to meet someone at 7 pm. Let’s go eat first. It’s nothing urgent.
“Uh-huh.”
After leaving the company, the two of them found a Sichuan restaurant and finished their dinner. Then, they drove to Huangjiang Clubhouse.
Ji Qingyan looked on from outside. “Are you meeting someone here?”
“You know this place?”
“It’s one of the four major chambers of commerce in Huaxia. It’s said that the total net worth of the members here exceeds 1 trillion.”
“That’s not small at all. Do you want to come with me to take a look?”
“I won’t be going,” said Ji Qingyan.
“This is the Bund. It’s a good time for me to eat and shop. As it happens, it’s the turn of the season, so I’ll go shop for some new clothes.”
“You have so many clothes at home. You can’t even wear them all.”
“Well, I don’t have many stockings left. I want to buy some and a few more sets of underwear. Since you’ve said this, I won’t go.”
“Cough, cough, cough… Actually, you don’t have to buy clothes, but you can buy more of those lingerie. After all, you have to change often, don’t you think so?”
Ji Qingyan glanced at Lin Yi. “I think you have your own selfish motives.”
“You’re using your own narrow-mindedness to judge a gentleman’s character. I’m only saying this for your health.”
“Don’t think I don’t know that my mind is constantly filled with those filthy thoughts.”
With that, she unbuckled her seatbelt. “I’ll make a move first. Call me when you’re done.
“Go on.”
Ji Qingyan carried her bag and walked away from Lin Yi’s sight. She was like a carefree young girl, innocent and lively.
Not long after, Ma Huaiyang also drove over to meet Lin Yi.
“I’m really sorry, President Lin. I’m late.”
“I got here early.”
Lin Yi opened the car door and got out. “Let’s go. It’s faster if we just go straight up to look around.”
On the sixth floor of the Huangjiang Clubhouse were four private rooms.
The renovation style of each room was different. Although in the eyes of many people, this renovation style was a little outdated, the renovation cost was as high as too million yuan.
It may not necessarily be the most visually appealing according to mainstream aesthetics, but it is certainly the most expensive.
“This Lingyun Group is quite interesting. Even though the boss has been arrested, they still want us to come for a meeting. Is this some kind of trick or deception?” Xu Tianjun said..
