Chapter 1350 - 1350 Collaboration? Impossible!
1350 Collaboration? Impossible!
Jian Ai nodded slightly. This matter came to an end so far. Although there were some problems with a few targets, fortunately, everyone resolved them in the end and completed them successfully.
However, when she thought of Lei, Jian Ai couldn’t help but look at Xiao Zhen and ask, “Lei probably already knows the cause of this matter. Can we ensure nothing goes wrong?”
When Xiao Zhen heard this, he smiled helplessly and nodded. Then, he looked at Mingzui and said, “Lei revered Brother Ming Zui and insisted on taking him as his master.”
“He wants to become Ming Zui’s disciple?” Jian Ai couldn’t help but blink in surprise.
At this moment, Ming Zui said, “Perhaps he’s very interested in my power of space and time. He’s also shocked by the power of space and time and wants to acknowledge me as his master.”
The others smiled when they heard that. Xiao Zhen continued, “However, our ancient sect’s mental cultivation techniques are fundamentally different from ability users like them. Brother Ming Zui knew he could not impart the power of space and time to Lei, so he rejected him.”
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. Their ancient sect’s cultivation method differed completely from ability users. They were two fundamental things that could not be interconnected.
“However, in the end, Brother Ming Zui still acknowledged Lei as his younger brother. He’s no longer a threat to us now, and he will completely keep this series of things a secret,” Xiao Zhen said.
Jian Ai was relieved.
“The mercenary group is watching Prince Qi Ye’s every move. Moreover, all the experts he gathered were dealt with before the mission. It’s undoubtedly a huge blow to him. He shouldn’t do anything in the near future,” Yu Wuyuan slowly analyzed.
Prince Qi Ye was anxious to kill Bai Zhou, but his repeated failures would make him reevaluate this matter. Moreover, these powerful ability users could not be gathered just because they wanted to. Yu Wuyuan’s words were reasonable, and Prince Qi Ye should stop for a while.
“Everyone has worked hard during this period.” Jian Ai looked at everyone and said in relief, “Although this is the first collaboration between the mercenary group and us, the process is still very smooth.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but look at each other and smile. In this operation, the mercenary group had established a deep revolutionary friendship with the ancient sect. After all, they had gone through life and death together.
“Sect Master, is there anything else we need to do next?” Luan Qingyang looked at Jian Ai and asked.
Duo said in a deep tone, “The other party is starting to fall silent. We might as well strike first. Only by killing Qi Ye can we help Bai Zhou avoid future trouble.”
The others nodded, thinking that Duo was right.
They had been in a passive situation from the beginning. This mission was the beginning of their counterattack, and it went so smoothly. They should pursue the victory and kill the culprit, Qi Ye, in one go.
Jian Ai already had a plan in her heart. She shook her head slightly and said, “Although Uncle Duo is right, this is not a simple matter.”
Bai Zhou also said, “That’s right. Firstly, my brother is in the Qiusi royal family. This year, the number of people entering Qiusi is already saturated. If everyone wants to enter Qiusi, they will need various complicated approvals. This will take a lot of time.”
“It’s even more difficult to kill him in Qiusi. Moreover, once he dies, it’ll be even more difficult for everyone to leave Qiusi!”
In short, because of the special laws of Qiusi, all kinds of obstacles were obvious. Even if they entered Qiusi, it would be very difficult for them to find an opportunity to kill a prince who was protected at all times.
Even if they succeeded, escaping was a problem.
Jian Ai stood up and said, “It’s almost the new year in China. Everyone has just completed their missions. Let’s rest for the time being.”
Hearing the Sect Master’s words, everyone nodded obediently. Bai Zhou’s matter was not something that could be resolved easily.
It was almost the end of the year, so they did not have to be anxious. In China, the New Year was the most important holiday in the year, and this was also the first year since Jian Ai’s rebirth.
Not mentioning this anymore, everyone started to drink and chat. Jian Ai was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she drank two glasses with everyone.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Bai Zhou walked forward and said to Jian Ai, “The last round of bidding for South City’s reconstruction project ended yesterday.”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows. “The results are out?”
Bai Zhou nodded gently.
“It landed on the Jian Group?” Jian Ai had long guessed.
Bai Zhou nodded again. “Although Hongxiang Group is not weak, the Jian Group has always been the favorite of the Baiyun government. It’s not surprising that this project fell into their hands.”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but sneer. “The Jian Group received two projects for South City’s demolition and reconstruction. They’re quite biased. The Jian Group wants to rely on these two projects to increase its market value again.”
“Of course,” Bai Zhou said. “Now, the real estate industry in Baiyun City is gradually becoming clearer. The Jian Group is dominant, followed by Hongxiang and Century Group. A few years ago, the scale was completely tilted on the Jian Group’s side.”
“The survival situation of dozens of small and medium-sized real estate companies like our East Sea Real Estate is getting more difficult.”
Jian Ai nodded. Their East Sea Real Estate still had a six-star project and an amusement park construction project. They were already outstanding among small and medium-sized companies. Many companies were already struggling at death’s door under the Jian Group’s pressure.
“However, it’s not easy for the Jian Group to handle such a big project like rebuilding South City. Recently, I heard that many real estate companies have extended an olive branch to collaborate with the Jian Group, including Hongxiang Group,” Bai Zhou said and couldn’t help but lower his voice. “Boss, do you think we should too…”
Although he didn’t finish speaking, Jian Ai understood what Bai Zhou meant. He also wanted East Sea Real Estate to take a share of the South City reconstruction project.
Jian Ai said without thinking, “No need. I don’t want to eat this cake.”
To be honest, if Jian Changsheng wasn’t her father, Jian Ai might have fought for the benefits of the company’s development.
However, because of their father-daughter relationship, Jian Ai had long sworn in her heart that she would never have a benign relationship with the Jian Group in business.
Collaboration? Impossible! Never!
Bai Zhou nodded in understanding. Looking at Jian Ai’s attitude, he knew he did not need to ask Jian Ai for her opinion in the future. He could just deny it.
“Boss, everyone is gathered beside you this time. I can tell that they don’t want to leave you anymore.” Bai Zhou changed the topic and looked at the people from the ancient sect who were talking and laughing.
