Chapter 429: April 30th, Fools Rush In (First Update)

Longjia Building.

After taking call after call, Shen Mengchen couldn’t help but beam with joy.

One piece of good news after another reached her, filling her long unsmiling face with smiles instantly.

"How did this guy do it? In just one day, the leaders of the business associations from all over have actually started calling me, trying to curry favour with me," Shen Mengchen felt an uncontrollable excitement in her heart. Previously, this was something she couldn’t have imagined—the hostility and endless obstacles from the business associations towards Longjia, and in just one day, there had been a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

The higher-ups at Longjia were confused, stunned by the sudden influx of news.

Could it be that these people had suddenly become kind-hearted?

Some thought so, but Shen Mengchen, who knew the truth, was clear that things were not so simple. Those leaders of the business associations were tough characters. There had been those who declared that they would never allow Longjia to develop locally no matter what, but now, they were suddenly calling to apologize with great courtesy.

Huang Ya, as a high-ranking official in Longjia and now Shen Mengchen’s right-hand woman, received the apology gifts sent by the business associations from all over, each accompanied by a card expressing their apologies to Longjia Group. When first receiving these gifts, Huang Ya was bewildered. She remembered how much effort she had put into expanding the external market and even drinking continuously with others to gain the business associations’ favor at the time, yet she could not change the outcome. But today, countless business associations sent gifts, taking the initiative to express their apologies to Longjia.

She couldn’t understand what Director Shen Mengchen had done to make these fierce rivals back off.

Huang Ya stepped out of the office, and Shen Mengchen’s confident demeanor caught her eye, causing her to pause. The director today seemed full of vitality, no longer wearing the tired expression of the past.

"What method did the chairman use to make these people submit?" Huang Ya wondered but could not figure it out. However, the result was positive. As long as the local business associations were no longer targeting Longjia, the company’s external market expansion could be rapidly realized.

The changed attitudes of the business association leaders were circulated among the company employees, sparking discussions, with offices filled with excitement and curiosity.

"The reputation of the ’Mu Guiying of the business world’ is well-deserved indeed. Our chairman seems to have made a move, truly impressive."

"I’m proud to be working at Longjia. Good thing I didn’t give up at the time."

...

Shen Mengchen called Ye Qiu to relay how the leaders of the various business associations had been reaching out with goodwill, eager to understand how Ye Qiu had managed it.

Ye Qiu was evasive, dodging her questions, which frustrated Shen Mengchen. She huffed, vowing to deal with Ye Qiu harshly when she returned to the Goddess Villa.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu smiled, feeling the return of the Shen Mengchen he knew from the conversation, with a smile curling up at his lips.

The "King Yan’s Invitation" had taken effect!

Ye Qiu’s eyes twinkled. This was not surprising to him. Even though these business association leaders were linked with the Condor-Gir family and even joined forces against Longjia, they valued their lives even more.

King Yan’s post may be unknown to the ordinary person, but these leaders of the commercial guilds are no ordinary citizens. Having had contact with the darker aspects of the world, they naturally have heard of the name of King Yan.

Compared to the benefits offered by the Kondgil family, one’s own life is naturally more important. No one wants to have their head fall to the ground the next day.

The situation had improved, which was good news for Ye Qiu, but even after smiling, there was still a trace of worry in his eyes.

According to what Shen Mengchen meant, although the majority of the commercial guilds had proactively shown goodwill, not all had done so.

Ye Qiu knew that there must be some who did not take his King Yan’s post seriously, and to be safe, he had to give these indifferent people another warning.

Ye Qiu intended to resolve this matter thoroughly before going to watch the Martial Barrier, for although the Kondgil family’s influence was vast, their main impact was outside of Huaxia, they dared not extend their reach too far. Still, he could not rule out some guild leaders, out of sheer madness, continuing to trouble Longjia, or even playing dirty tricks.

He had to prepare for the worst.

"If nothing unexpected happens, those still fixated on Longjia will surely make a move today," Ye Qiu thought to himself, halting his cultivation and heading to Longjia Tower to see if there really were those fearless enough to continue targeting Longjia.

In fact, three of the commercial guild leaders had, just as Ye Qiu had speculated, not taken the King Yan’s post too seriously. The perks given by the Kondgil family were too significant; they had claimed that they would offer a hefty sum of money as long as they could limit Longjia’s influence. Furthermore, after the King Yan’s post incident, the Kondgil family had increased their stakes, intending to capture Longjia’s director, Shen Mengchen.

Although they did not understand why Longjia, a company not yet listed, had attracted such attention from the Kondgil family, it was just a matter of dealing with one woman. What was this damn King Yan’s post? Wasn’t it just a threat from an assassin? In the minds of some commercial guild leaders, this wasn’t a significant issue, and they even scoffed at the other guild leaders for being timorous as mice, frightened by nothing more than a card.

In front of Longjia Tower, several figures blended in with the passersby. Some were dressed as security guards, others lingered in the parking lot. These people all had one thing in common: their eyes were filled with a cold frost.

To deal with Longjia and the person behind the King Yan’s post, the guild leaders had hired many experts and had them strategically positioned at Longjia Tower well in advance.

They had two targets, one was Shen Mengchen, and the other was a very young man in the photos.

For those who spent their lives in the shadows, this task was too easy. In their view, inviting so many top assassins to deal with just two people meant the employer was being excessively cautious.

Before long, Ye Qiu’s figure appeared in front of Longjia Tower. He did not enter but looked around with a sweeping gaze. In an instant, he felt several unusual presences emanating from a few seemingly ordinary people.

"It looks like I guessed right," Ye Qiu thought with a cold laugh. Things were indeed as he had imagined; several guild leaders had completely disregarded the King Yan’s post and chosen to proceed with their plans.

"Once I finish off these guys and dig out their employer from their mouths, I really want to see which one of them is so audacious." Ye Qiu had made up his mind; these assassins lurking at Longjia Tower were already dead in his eyes. No matter how they tried to hide, they could not escape Ye Qiu’s notice. With a strength at the pinnacle of True Qi, attempting to remain unseen with only the capabilities of the people before him was simply impossible.

Ye Qiu made a phone call, telling Shen Mengchen not to rush downstairs, he would go up to get her. Although Shen Mengchen was somewhat surprised, she obediently agreed, and after hanging up, a warm current of secret delight flowed through her: "You’re quite considerate, aren’t you?"

Ye Qiu could not hear Mengchen’s words. His mind was fully focused on locking onto the assassins hidden in the shadows, waiting for the sky to darken a bit more before making his move.

The employees of Longjia were about to finish their work for the day, and once they left, it would be Ye Qiu’s time to act.
