Logically speaking, with Shang Yao's status, she shouldn't come to Xinao Gate frequently. Especially when the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly...
Lin Chaotian and Shang Jingtian are the most eye-catching rivals in Yanjing. Although they did not shout at each other in public, even though they did not imitate the third-rate insults at each other. But in the eyes of insiders, these two most famous and influential businessmen in the Chinese business community are destined to be unable to seek common ground while reserving differences.
In this case, it is surprising that Shang Yao frequently appears in Xinao and appears twice in a row in the most crowded canteen.
"Actually, you can go to the Dragon and Phoenix Tower to find me." Xiao Zheng said helplessly in the box. "I go there every day for a spin."
"I really can't control my excitement." Shang Yao smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement on her face that looked like a royal sister. "I also want to thank Mr. Xiao very much."
"There's no need to thank you. We're just like-minded in this matter." Xiao Zheng hurriedly cleared the air.
The merchant and Xiao Zheng had a lot of old grudges in the past, and Xiao Zheng was not generous enough to be friends with someone who once tried to kill him. No matter how many reasonable reasons the other party has, it won't work.
Shang Yao didn't care about Xiao Zheng's hot and cold attitude, pursed his lips and smiled: "Mr. Xiao has dealt with Prince Ling Lainei, right?"
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Regarding this matter, I am very dissatisfied with Miss Shang's arrangement. To a certain extent, it also caused damage to my soul -"
"If there is harm, there will be compensation." Shang Yao narrowed his eyes and asked. "Mr. Xiao, no matter what you need from me, you can just say it."
"Help me pull Lin Chaotian down from the altar." Xiao Zheng said lightly.
Shang Yao's expression changed slightly, and then he said in a dumbfounded voice: "Mr. Xiao, you think too highly of me."
"I have always admired Miss Shang." Xiao Zheng said intriguingly.
Shang Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Xiao for your appreciation." After a pause, she continued. "Two days ago, His Royal Highness the Prince called me and asked me to express my most solemn respect to Mr. Xiao. He also said that he must inform her next time he has the opportunity to go to Tokyo."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "If it is not necessary, I may not want to go through it in this life."
Shang Yao asked unexpectedly: "Why?"
"Prince Ling Lai is a woman who makes people awe and fear." Xiao Zheng said casually.
"We are just friends, not lovers." Shang Yao joked. "Why should Mr. Xiao care about His Highness the Prince's character? At least in terms of moral character, I don't think His Highness the Prince is worse than anyone else."
They all killed their mothers. Still somewhat virtuous? Xiao Zheng disagreed.
Shaking his head, Xiao Zheng picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "It seems that Miss Shang Yao admires His Highness the Prince very much."
"She is the woman I admire most. She is also a role model for me to learn from." Shang Yao praised without hesitation.
Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Shang Yao up and down: "You mean killing your mother?"
Shang Yao paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "My mother has passed away."
According to common sense, Xiao Zheng should say "Sorry, I mentioned your sadness" at this time, but he knew that Shang Yao was not an ordinary woman, so he was too lazy to say some polite words, and instead asked sharply and sharply: "So Are you going to use what Prince Ling Lai did on your brother?"
Shang Yao's eyes flashed, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but with an intriguing smile on his face, he said: "Mr. Xiao, you are really a gossip."
Xiao Zheng's expression calmed down and he reflected on himself: "It's a bit nosy."
After a pause, he raised his eyes and asked, "Miss Shang, are you just talking to me about chatting?"
Hearing this, Shang Yao smiled slightly and asked with interest: "Mr. Xiao, what do you think of the underground organization of Hunting Fox?"
Xiao Zheng asked rhetorically: "It is well-organized and rich. It can be called the largest underground kingdom in the world."
"Hunting Fox alone has more than 10,000 official members worldwide." Shang Yao said slowly. "It can be said that whoever controls the lifeblood of fox hunting will be the underground king."
Economy, politics, war, and even global gangs, Fox Hunters are pervasive, and they are present in every field. And they all did pretty well. Whoever can control the lifeline of fox hunting, as Shang Yao said, can indeed become the underground king.
"What did Miss Shang want to say?" Xiao Zheng asked cautiously.
"As expected, Miss Sophia will lead the fox hunting forces around the world in the near future. In other words, Miss Sophia will soon become the true underground king. Or rather - the queen." Shang Yao said slowly. "Mr. Xiao, congratulations."
"Congratulations?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"The relationship between Mr. Xiao and Miss Sophia is actually not a secret." Shang Yao said with a smile. "What's more, Mr. Xiao deserves the most credit for making Miss Sophia what she is today."
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "I just want to do a good job in Xinao. I have no interest in other things."
"Standing in Mr. Xiao's current position, you may not be interested in many things. But you will still have it naturally." Shang Yao said with a slight smile. "So it can be said without humility that Mr. Xiao's tentacles have now reached all over the world."
Xiao Zheng said with a solemn expression: "Miss Shang, I don't like people who beat around the bush. What you want to say, please be direct."
"Chang Yishan has his machinations, and Mr. Xiao also has his own powerful power. Why should he follow the rules and use his side that he is not good at to fight against him?" Shang Yao said with a heavy look. "As long as Mr. Xiao is willing, Fox Hunter's global resources can be used by you. How can a mere Changyi Mountain compete with you?"
Xiao Zheng glanced at Shang Yao meaningfully and asked: "Miss Shang, is this your intention or your father's?"
"This is the general trend." Shang Yao said word by word. "In this battle, Mr. Xiao can only win, not lose. If he wins, there will be a road ahead. If he loses, Mr. Xiao may lose everything."
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly and said, "I know."
Yes.
He couldn't lose this battle.
If you lose, how can you gain a foothold in Yanjing in the future
Just like Lu Dashan and Bai Wuxia, once they lose to Lin Chaotian, they will be forced to leave the battlefield. Return home sadly.
this is the truth. Maybe it's a bit extreme, but isn't Xiao Zheng, like Lu Dashan and Bai Wuxia, a man who only wants to be number one and never wants to be put on top of others
If you lose and stay in Yanjing, you will live in the shadow of the other party for the rest of your life. Instead of doing this, it's better to go back to your hometown and do whatever you have to do.
Otherwise, every encounter in the future will be a trampling on the soul. I wonder which man can bear such humiliation
