Yun Xi shrugged as if the incident did not trouble her or that she wasn’t even the victim.

“I know this has nothing to do with you. I’m just letting you know. It will be hard for you to become the next head, but if you want it that bad, I could help you.”

“R-really? Are you really going to help me?”

That was what Han Yaotian had been hoping for—that Yun Xi would help him.

No matter her schemes, her plans, or even her connections—they were all top-notch. They were all valuable resources to Han Yaotian.

Not only that, but Yun Xi also had the Young Commander’s support. If Mu Feichi were to help him, the possibilities would be endless.

“It’s not that I can’t help, but…”

“I understand. I’ll agree to any condition as long as it’s within my power.”

Yun Xi smiled innocently. Only Team Leader A was able to see the ruthlessness in her eyes, one that was on par, or even more vicious than the Young Commander.

“This is the trade I’m going to talk to you about, Mr. Han. It seems like you are still single, right?”

“W-what do you mean?”

Han Yaotian was confused as to why Yun Xi would suddenly change the topic. He tried to study her expression but couldn’t read her pretty face.

“Do you want your family to become one of the Big Four Conglomerate Families again?”

The man’s eyes widened upon the mention of that. That was what he had been fighting for over the past few weeks. However, as long as the Young Commander continued to oppose them, they would never be able to achieve that.

To be more precise, as long as Yun Xi still wanted the Han family to fall, they would never be able to climb back up.

In the end, Yun Xi was the one who had the say in everything.

Seeing that Han Yaotian remained silent, Yun Xi continued, “Well, Qiao Ximin is still single too, and both of you are already adults. If you can make her yours, it would create a tie between the Han family and the Qiao family—wouldn’t that be great for you? In the end, people will still respect the Qiao family.”

“But, how is that possible? The Qiao family and we are enemies now. How am I supposed to marry an enemy? Even if I wanted to, there’s no way the Qiao family would agree to it, nor will the Han family!”

“Looks like Mr. Han still has no idea the benefits that a marriage between two conglomerate families could bring. Looks like I’ll have to give you a thorough explanation.” Yun Xi turned to sit down on the chair and crossed her legs. “First, you’ll be able to help your family recover in the shortest amount of time. Second, when the children of two big families get married, the interest of both families will become one. You’ll be able to use that chance to strengthen yourself. Third, if you marry Miss Qiao, you might even have the chance to make the Qiao family yours. And fourth, once the Qiao family is gone, you’ll be able to control both the Qiao family and the Han family, which will be more than enough to make your family one of the Big Four Conglomerate Families again. You might even become the strongest among the four.”

“This…” Han Yaotian did not expect to hear such an elaborate plan come out of the mouth of an eighteen-year-old lady.

Not only did it make him look at Yun Xi with new eyes, but it also terrified him.

The wild ambition that Yun Xi had just mentioned was something that he wouldn’t even dare to think of.

Yet, Yun Xi brought the idea up without a slight change in her expression and even came up with a plan.

It was then that Han Yaotian knew that he was right, that Yun Xi was not as simple as she seemed.

Even one of the four benefits that Yun Xi had mentioned was more than enough to convince him.

Among the mentioned benefits was one that he had never even thought of, which was to control both of the families.
