Rong Qi’s voice was slightly cold as she spoke, “Prepare for the return of our Merica branch to the country in the coming days, and handle all the necessary paperwork. Keep monitoring all channels and notify me immediately of any developments.”
“Understood,” said Shangguan Ze.
After hanging up the call, Rong Qi closed the webpage and switched to the classroom surveillance, observing Class 7’s situation.
Meanwhile, having received the call, Duan Qianming finally felt the largest stone weighing on his heart lifted.
“How did it go? Did Ms. Rong say anything? Can our family continue to live in the capital?” Mrs. Duan asked as she looked worriedly at Duan Qianming.
Duan Shujie sat on the sofa, also gazing at Duan Qianming with nerves tense.
Duan Qianming nodded and took a deep breath. He said, “Ms. Rong has continued to assign me tasks, which means Shujie’s incident has been put behind us.”
“That’s a relief. As long as she does not take out her anger on our family, everything is negotiable,” Mrs. Duan said as she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then with a puzzled expression, Mrs. Duan looked at Duan Qianming and asked, “Who exactly is this Ms. Rong? Why do you fear her so much? She seems so young, did our family really rise up with her support?”
Duan Qianming took a sip of water and said, “I can’t reveal her identity. Just know that she’s not as simple as she appears. Apart from anything else, just her company in Merica alone is powerful enough to compete with the head of the four great families, the Ye family.”
“What?” Mrs. Duan and Duan Shujie both gasped in shock.
Duan Shujie said, “Such a young woman, and you’re saying she can stand against the Ye family? The Ye family is someone even the other three great families combined can’t surpass!”
Duan Qianming shook his head and said, “That was the past. Although the Ye family remains vast, its inner structures have long since crumbled. Otherwise, how could a mere Jingsheng Corporation have suppressed the most vigorous Ye family so decisively?”
“So you’re saying Rong Qi is planning to come back and grab a piece of the pie from the Ye family?” Mrs. Duan asked.
“I don’t know. Maybe she just wants to develop her business back home. But her return will certainly stir up a storm of blood and violence. When that time comes, the power dynamics of the capital will shift once again.”
If it were merely a commercial competition, no one would care so much. But this involved more than just business. For three years, Jingsheng Corporation had single-handedly suppressed the rising Ye family, leading the capital to a certain level of balance.
However, at the end of the day, Ye Nanshen was from the Ye family too. Too much dominance by one family is not always a good thing. Rong Qi’s company’s return might even allow the other three families to expand. With the reshuffling of the capital’s powers, the Duan family might not necessarily decline.
Duan Qianming’s gaze was distant as he became even more determined to align with Rong Qi. As people used to say, when two parties fight, the third party wins.
These days, Rong Qi and the Seven Sinisters had been locked in a heated battle, and neither side had gained an advantage. She felt mentally exhausted. Since founding her company, she had never encountered such a tough opponent.
The stand-off with the Seven Sinisters meant that many cooperative projects had been directly snatched by the competition, with both parties suffering losses. Yet neither side was willing to admit defeat. Whether the opponent was too strong, or if her own energy was lacking due to her pregnancy, Rong Qi couldn’t tell.
Rong Qi rubbed her temples and her appetite had diminished recently. Ye Nanshen had also been returning home late recently, looking worn with dark circles under his eyes. The two were concerned for each other.
Watching one project after another being taken away, Rong Qi felt weary. She frowned, opened her laptop, and located the people she had been clashing with these past few days, her fingers twitched slightly, and she managed to black out their company’s network.
At that moment, in one of Jingsheng Corporation’s branch buildings, a “whoosh” enveloped the building in darkness, leaving everyone in silence..
