Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Zhu Bajie Looks in the Mirror_1

Tao Donglai couldn’t make sense of it, and neither could anyone else in attendance.

In Jiangling City, Shengtian Group is the only company with a market value exceeding one hundred billion.

The origin of Shengtian Group is quite mysterious, with industries spread throughout Jiangling City, and even in Jiangnan City, there are also industries invested by Shengtian Group.

As the General Manager of Shengtian Group, Ling Yuzhu is widely recognized as a powerful woman, not only for her exceptional work capabilities but also for being incredibly low-profile, rarely attending opening ceremonies, weddings, funerals, and the like.

But now, Ling Yuzhu personally attended, and her opening move was to give a gift worth over ten million—how could anyone not be curious?

Luo Ning didn’t know how much the one hundred Laighton tulips specifically cost, but hearing from her assistant Xiao Li that they were air-shipped from the Netherlands, she knew they must be expensive.

She hurriedly waved her hands and said to Ling Yuzhu, "Sister Ling, how can this be, these items are too precious, I can’t accept them."

"Ning’er, you’re my sworn sister, why are you being formal with me?"

Ling Yuzhu gave a slight smile, her gaze swept over Mo Han, and then she continued, "Your new store is opening, and of course, I should come to support you."

"As for these flower baskets, your sister Ling can certainly afford them."

Seeing Luo Ning about to speak, Mo Han intervened, "Ning’er, since President Ling is so enthusiastic, you should just accept it."

"After all, flower baskets are such celebratory items; we can’t return them, can we?"

Assistant Xiao Li chimed in at this point, "Yes, Miss Luo, these are all real flowers with a bloom time of only ten to fifteen days."

"Fine... fine then."

Luo Ning laughed awkwardly and then arranged for the staff to move half of the flower baskets to the 16th floor, while the other half was placed on both sides of the stage.

The sudden appearance of Ling Yuzhu made Tao Wenqiang’s face slightly displeased.

Listening to her previous conversation with Luo Ning, it seemed their private friendship was quite good.

Shengtian Group isn’t some inconsequential business like Yipinxiang Restaurant, Dynasty KTV, or Shangke Hotel; in Jiangling City, it’s a major taxpayer and an absolute leading enterprise.

If Ling Yuzhu firmly sided with Luo Ning, his banishment order would become a complete joke.

With this thought, his tone became heavier as he spoke, "President Ling, I am Tao Wenqiang of Tao Corporation!"

"You’ve delivered your flower basket, isn’t it time you left?"

"So it’s President Tao of the Tao Corporation from Jiangnan City."

Ling Yuzhu turned around, her gaze cool as she looked at him and said slowly, "I’m chatting and catching up with my sworn sister, could it possibly affect President Tao?"

"Why insist on making me leave?"

"Because of him!"

Tao Donglai pointed a finger at Mo Han, saying coldly, "Just now, our Tao Corporation issued a banishment order against him!"

"Anyone who cooperates with him is an enemy of Tao Corporation!"

"I trust Miss Ling is wise, having led Shengtian Group for such a long time, she would not make a wrong decision."

Ling Yuzhu didn’t speak; she smiled faintly and slowly approached Tao Donglai, but then her expression turned cold, and in an icy tone, she asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Compared to Tao Donglai, who directly inherited his family business, Ling Yuzhu built Shengtian Group from scratch. She had experienced far more than him and emitted a more commanding aura.

Her eyes narrowed, a cold light flickering within, making Tao Donglai unable to maintain eye contact.

"Miss Ling, you misunderstand, it’s not a threat, it’s a suggestion!"

Fortunately, at this moment, Tao Wenqiang spoke up to defuse the situation for his son, "Miss Ling is so astute, having developed Shengtian Group into Jiangling City’s leading enterprise in just a few years, Donglai wouldn’t dare threaten you."

"However..."

He paused, his gaze intently fixed on Ling Yuzhu, "Personal relationships should not be mixed with business matters."

"Mo Han’s Fuyuan Pharmaceutical Factory recently had a significant conflict with our Tao Pharmaceuticals."

"At the Wen Family herbal auction, he also provoked my son He Pingui several times and even injured several of my men."

"If possible, I would ask Miss Ling to finish presenting the gift and leave, so as not to get involved in the conflict between me and Mister Mo!"

His words sounded right and proper, but they were actually out of fear of Shengtian Group’s influence.

If Ling Yuzhu truly stood by Mo Han representing Shengtian Group, Tao Corporation did not have the strength to banish Shengtian Group.

On the contrary, in Jiangling City, Shengtian Group could trip up Tao Corporation, for this was Shengtian Group’s stronghold.

"Heh heh."

Ling Yuzhu let out a light laugh, her tone teasing as she said, "Is President Tao teaching me how to conduct business?"

"Miss Ling misunderstands..."

Just as Tao Wenqiang was about to explain, Ling Yuzhu interrupted him, "What misunderstanding!?"

"President Tao, let me tell you something!"

"Miss Luo is my sworn sister, and Mo Han is my good friend!"

"If you dare to lift a finger against them, you’re lifting it against me, Ling Yuzhu!"

"Your Tao Corporation might be powerful, but that doesn’t mean Shengtian Group is afraid of you—you’re welcome to bring it on, I, Ling Yuzhu, will be waiting!"

At her words, the room fell into silence.

The owner of Yipinxiang Restaurant, Dong Yi, trembled slightly at the corners of his mouth; for a moment, he regretted making a decision too soon. If he had known that President Ling of Shengtian Group and Mo Han were so closely allied, he would have never been so rash in his choice.

Although Tao Corporation and the Nie Family of Dragon City had a remarkable relationship and significant power, the most prominent presence in Jiangling City was Shengtian Group. If Shengtian Group issued a banishment order, Yipinxiang Restaurant might as well close its doors for good.

Wu Hao of Shangke Hotel massaged his temples, sighing continuously, "Wu Hao, oh Wu Hao! How could you be so foolish to turn down the hotel conference on Qiongzhou Island and get involved in this mess?"

"Now nice job, caught between a rock and a hard place like Zhu Bajie looking at his reflection—neither human nor pig..."
