Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Am I the Fool or Are You the Fools?

In the Xia Family’s reception hall, Granny Xia took the seat of honor with Yang Yu and Xia Yu sitting on her left and right, respectively.

The guests Li Chengyang brought were seated on both sides of the long table, which was squeezed with more than thirty people.

Although there weren’t many people compared to last night’s gathering, these were all important figures from influential Yanjing families, carrying much more weight than the group of gentlemen and ladies skilled in arts from the evening before.

Granny Xia smiled at everyone present, "Ladies and gentlemen, I really don’t understand why you’re here today. I didn’t invite you, and neither did Yang Yu. Is this what you call an uninvited visit?"

"Granny Xia, it seems a bit unkind of you to say that," Li Chengyang said with a smile, "After all, I heard that Yang Yu transferred a major contract worth tens of billions to the Xia Family. With such a big benefit, the Xia Family keeps silent. Do you want to isolate yourselves within the Yanjing business circle?"

What Li Chengyang referred to was the isolation of the Xia Family, but the subtext in his words was obvious to everyone.

If the Xia Family wanted to monopolize the deal, they would be isolated by the entire Yanjing business circle.

The others echoed in agreement, "Old Madam, I think Second Young Master Li is quite right. Isn’t it unity that has allowed us influential Yanjing families to grow and become strong?"

"Indeed, our families support and help each other, which is why we can stand tall. For the Xia Family to monopolize this major contract is truly questionable."

Yang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. No wonder these people made big money—their skin was certainly thicker than that of ordinary folk.

They obviously wanted a share of the spoils, yet they spoke as if they were utterly selfless. It was shamelessness taken to the extreme.

However, Yang Yu didn’t care about what they said; after all, it wasn’t his headache—it was the Xia Family’s.

Shen Silin had sent him a message, explaining everything very clearly, so all Yang Yu had to do was follow the procedure.

So, let them make a fuss as they wished, for now.

Facing the accusations, Granny Xia’s expression did not waver as she chuckled, "Last night, Yang Yu stayed in a room with my little Selin. What’s wrong with him giving a contract to our Xia Family alone? Are you saying all of your families have daughters who have slept with Yang Yu, and that’s why you feel entitled to come and demand benefits?"

Yang Yu, who had been calm and composed, shuddered and nearly fell off his chair.

This old lady was truly... unbelievable.

Yang Yu also stole a glance at Xia Yu and found that she was much calmer than himself.

Sigh, he really needed to work on his composure!

The room fell immediately silent, as no one knew quite what to say.

It took a while before Li Chengyang spoke up, "Granny Xia, are you suggesting that Yang Yu, in his private capacity, transferred the Commerce’s profit-making contract to the Xia Family?"

Li Chengyang’s question was deviously clever, clearly laying a trap.

If the old lady nodded, that would indicate Yang Yu, as Chairman of the Commerce, was exploiting his position for personal gain, giving people something to talk about and leaving a permanent stain on his reputation.

If Granny Xia says no, then the notion that benefits come only after sleeping with Xia Yu ceases to exist, and they can shamelessly continue to demand benefits.

Granny Xia, of course, was fully aware of Li Chengyang’s malicious intentions and offered a faint smile, "My opinion isn’t important; what matters is the stance of the Tianhai Commerce. As long as they see no issue, then there is no issue. I believe that Chairman Yang Yu has already discussed this matter with his various partners before making a decision."

Granny Xia skillfully deflected the topic, leaving Li Chengyang powerless to argue.

Li Chengyang wanted to say more, but Yang Yu spoke up, "Ladies and gentlemen, as a spokesperson for the Tianhai Business Alliance, I truly hope to collaborate with the major families of Yanjing. We are all constituents of Xia Country, enhancing our business and growing stronger together to expand overseas and profit from foreigners."

Someone immediately retorted, "You’re right, but why do you only cooperate with the Xia Family and not seek us out?"

"Exactly, you are clearly looking down on us. You say you want to cooperate with us, but in reality, you don’t even make a phone call, and your visits to Yanjing are done sneakily."

"If the Business Alliance of Tianhai City operates like this, we need to seriously consider whether we should continue to support your industries in Yanjing."

"Everyone, please calm down and let me finish," said Yang Yu, "The reason I didn’t dare contact everyone is obvious, isn’t it? Who brought you here today? Who is leading you?"

Someone casually answered, "Second Young Master Li, is there a problem?"

"There is, and it’s a big one," Yang Yu said gravely, "The Li Brothers have caused such a stir in Tianhai City, it’s impossible you haven’t heard about it. You’ve simply chosen to ignore it, but let me have a thorough discussion with you now..."

Yang Yu recounted everything the Li Brothers had done without any emotional bias or exaggeration, narrating strictly from a bystander’s perspective.

With such an objective account, the audience could naturally discern whether Yang Yu was fabricating or slandering the Li Brothers.

After finishing, Yang Yu began to conclude, "Everyone, consider this, if you were me, and someone tried to steal your fiancée, kill your brother, collude with your enemies to besiege you, and divide your family fortune, would you still do business with such a person?"

The crowd was buzzing with various expressions.

Li Chengyang found himself unable to sit still, his face as rigid as that of a corpse, "Yang Yu, if you have evidence, sue us. Spouting nonsense here without proof, do you believe I could sue you for defamation?"

"In our circle, we don’t need evidence," Yang Yu snorted coldly. "Just because the Li Brothers left no evidence of their deeds doesn’t mean they didn’t do it. If you want to sue me for defamation, then bring out your evidence, huh? You didn’t capture it, right? That means I haven’t defamed you, correct?"

Li Chengze was so angered that his face turned ashen, unable to utter a word for the moment.

Yang Yu continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, you follow my enemy the Li Family and yet claim to want to cooperate with me. Do you think I’m the fool, or are you fooling yourselves?"

A middle-aged man asked earnestly, "Chairman Yang, lay out your terms directly. If they aren’t too outrageous, we’re not opposed to considering them."

The others nodded in agreement, "Exactly, Chairman Yang, whatever conditions you have, let us hear them."

"As I said earlier, the ultimate goal of the Tianhai Yang Family Chamber of Commerce is to venture overseas and earn money from the entire world; hence, we indeed need the earnest and robust cooperation of Yanjing’s prominent figures."

Yang Yu slowly stated, "I have only one condition, and that is that no project in collaboration with me shall bear any trace of Li Family involvement. If there is, that would mean a breach of contract by you, and any consequences and losses will be your responsibility."

"If you can agree to this term, I will put forth all the projects I’ve concluded with the Klopus Family and the Xiang Island Business Alliance this time for sincere collaboration with all of you."
