Xia Mang's face twitched twice. He suddenly remembered Ning Xiangcao's military background. He was indeed a little too naive. He tried his best to calm himself down and said in a deep voice: "Xiangcao, since I liked you so much in the past, how about we have a good talk? There is no need to make things so awkward. It seems too inhumane."

Ning Xiangcao smiled slightly, and then said calmly: "First, you like me, it's your business, it has nothing to do with me; second, the situation is so tense, it's you who caused it, not me; third, you have no right to say that I am unkind."

Fang Zhicheng sighed secretly, Xia Mang's various behaviors were all childish, and he felt like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Ning Xiangcao had always been very low-key in her business in Yunhai, so low-key that others had forgotten the iron-blooded and murderous nature of the red family.

Xia Mang was scolded so lightly by Ning Xiangcao, and he knew that if he didn't bow his head today, he would be in trouble. Especially since he felt a breath of death coming from Colonel Xie, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Tell me what your demands are." Xia Mang completely lost his previous arrogance and lowered his head.

Ning Xiangcao sighed softly and said, "First, don't interfere with Dongtai's investment promotion work in Yunhai; second, stay away from me in the future."

"I promise you!" Xia Mang's eyes flashed and he answered in a deep voice.

Fang Zhicheng shrugged and reminded: "Words are not enough."

Xia Mang looked up at Fang Zhicheng and said coldly, "Then how can I satisfy you?"

Fang Zhicheng took out an IOU from his pocket, stuffed it in front of Xia Mang, and said, "Sign your name on this IOU. As long as you abide by the agreement, this IOU will never appear."

Xia Mang took a look at the IOU and was horrified, because the string of numbers he glanced at was in the ten digits. If he wanted to repay it, he would be bankrupt and unable to do anything.

Ning Xiangcao added, "Don't think that just because your father is the vice president of Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, you can do whatever you want. Mr. Wen Lan has returned, and Yunhai Chamber of Commerce will soon face re-election. It is still unknown whether your father can continue to serve."

Xia Mang knew that what Ning Xiangcao said was true, and he also knew that she was very close to Jiang Wenlan. If Ning Xiangcao and Jiang Wenlan proposed to revoke his father's position as vice president, the strength of the Xia family would inevitably plummet. The huge pressure forced him to bow his head temporarily. He took the IOU and wrote his name on this unfounded huge IOU with great reluctance.

Fang Zhicheng and Ning Xiangcao looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Even if Xia Mang regretted it, this IOU would not work because it was obtained through improper means. The reason for doing this was to put pressure on Xia Mang so that he would have no way to retreat.

Chapter 0264 Jin Feng Falls to the Bottom

Xia Mang covered his face and staggered into the box. His embarrassed appearance startled everyone, especially Jin Feng, who noticed something was wrong. He walked up to Xia Mang and asked, "Boss Xia, what happened to you?"

Xia Mang shook his hands and forced a smile, "I fell down when I was going upstairs." Xia Mang would not talk about the embarrassing things, otherwise he would become a joke in the circle. Xia Mang seemed reckless and arrogant, but he was actually very clear-headed and was not a puppet who could be bullied by others.

Jin Feng was very suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xia Mang. Xia Mang looked at Jin Feng seriously and asked softly, "Boss Jin, do you know where that assistant came from?"

Jin Feng was slightly startled, thinking to himself, could it be that Xia Mang knew that she had a relationship with Fang Zhicheng? However, even if Xia Mang knew that she had a relationship with Fang Zhicheng, so what? If Fang Zhicheng was in Yinzhou, he might have some strength, but in Yunhai, he was far inferior to Xia Mang. He took a sip of wine and shook his head, saying, "Her family background is very ordinary, she is from Yinzhou. I used to work in Yinzhou, and I saw that she was from Yinzhou, so I accepted her."

Xia Mang remained calm, found ice cubes in the ice bucket, applied them on her cheeks, and had a different opinion of Jin Feng. This incident showed that Jin Feng was a very cunning person. He must have known the relationship between Lu Wanyu and Fang Zhicheng, so he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and use himself to deal with Fang Zhicheng.

Thinking of this, Xia Mang felt that the punch he received tonight was quite unfair. Thinking of the astronomical IOU he had signed, he lost interest in continuing to have fun. He waved his hand and said, "I'm not feeling well. All the expenses tonight will be charged to my name. Everyone should have fun."

Seeing Xia Mang leaving, Jin Feng was about to stand up to see him off, but was stopped by Xia Mang. Xia Mang chuckled and said calmly, "Boss Jin, there's no need to see me off. You're hiding your true intentions. From now on, we are strangers. Let's not have any contact anymore."

Jin Feng frowned and said with a wry smile: "Boss Xia, there is no need to be like this. She is just a woman. If you like her, I will help you find a few better ones tomorrow."

Xia Mang sneered twice and said, "Am I the kind of person who can't walk when seeing a woman? You know what you did." After saying that, he threw his hands and left the box angrily. As for Fang Zhicheng, because he had Ning Xiangcao as his backer, Xia Mang could only temporarily avoid the limelight and suffered a loss, but the matter had an unclear relationship with Jin Feng, so Xia Mang transferred his anger to Jin Feng.

Watching Xia Mang leave, Jin Feng's eyes flashed with disdain. All the flattery in front of Xia Mang was just a disguised expedient. Deep down, Jin Feng did not regard Xia Mang as a real partner. Since Xia Mang had left, he had no excuse to stay, so he took his coat and purse and prepared to go out. At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang, showing Lu Wanyu's cell phone number.

How dare Lu Wanyu call him? Jin Feng was a little confused. He walked quickly outside the box and answered the phone. A man's voice came from the other end.

"Secretary Jin, how are you?" Fang Zhicheng asked in a cold tone, holding Lu Wanyu's cell phone in his hand.

Jin Feng quickly reacted and smiled faintly, "So it's Secretary Fang. Oh, now you should call him Director Fang. By the way, why did you call me using my assistant's phone?"

Fang Zhicheng was extremely disgusted with Jin Feng's wolfish ambition. He sighed and said, "Boss Jin, let's be frank. My sister has some things that are inconvenient to tell you, so I'll say it for her. First, starting tomorrow, she will resign. As for the resignation letter, I think it is completely unnecessary. You must instruct the finance department to pay her this month's salary. I will arrange someone to help her deal with it tomorrow. Second, starting tomorrow, don't get close to her anymore, otherwise, I will use practical actions to let you know the seriousness of the consequences."

Jin Feng was slightly startled, and said in a deep voice: "Fang Zhicheng, why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are? Why do you give me orders?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled coldly and said, "Maybe I am not qualified, but others will be." Fang Zhicheng saw Ning Xiangcao making a gesture and handed over the phone. Ning Xiangcao asked Fang Zhicheng to call Jin Feng. She must have a trick up her sleeve.

This time the phone was transferred to Ning Xiangcao's hands. Ning Xiangcao was calmer than expected. She was a devout Christian, so she was rarely panicked. At this moment, her face was as white as a fairy and her posture was upright, like a saint.

Ning Xiangcao asked softly, "Boss Jin, if DG Investment and Zheng International withdraw their investment from Jincheng Group, what consequences will that bring to Jincheng Group?"

Jin Feng's eyes widened. Jincheng Group had just signed a cooperation agreement with Zheng International and DG Investment. The news was still blocked and only a few senior executives in the group knew the secret.

Jin Feng asked in a deep voice: "How did you know? Who leaked the information?"

Ning Xiangcao smiled faintly and said, "Boss Jin, it seems that you are not familiar enough with Yunhai's financial market. You don't know the history of Huaying Investment Group. Huaying Investment Group started a business ten years ago and split five years ago. The core management team was divided into three teams. One of the teams continued to focus on Huaying Investment Group, and the other two teams entered DG Investment and Zheng's International respectively. Therefore, Huaying, DG, and Zheng's, these three investment companies, are actually from the same source. Although on the surface, DG and Zheng's are competitors in business, from an internal point of view, Huaying Group is the parent of these two companies..."

Ning Xiangcao's words frightened Jin Feng so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He tried his best to remain calm and asked in a deep voice, "You mean to say that DG and Zheng deliberately approached Jincheng Group and then tried to control Jincheng Group in the form of investment?"

Ning Xiangcao nodded, smiled and said, "You finally reacted, but it's too late. Now the two groups control nearly 45% of Jincheng Group's shares, which has exceeded all the assets in the hands of the Jin family. If they buy another 5% of the shares, they will have absolute control over Jincheng Group. Of course, if the current management of Jincheng Group can be obedient, DG and Zheng will not destroy the current situation."

Jin Feng showed bitterness on his face. After a detailed investigation, DG and Zheng Group should be competitors, so the board of directors of Jincheng Group approved the two companies to raise funds at the same time and transfer a large number of shares. Now he encountered an embarrassing situation. It turned out that the two investment companies were connected, and the connection point was Huaying Investment Group, which meant that the initiative was completely handed over.

If DG and Zheng join forces, the Jincheng Group will change hands and escape the control of the Jin family.

As the main executor and promoter of this financing, I am the most directly responsible person after the consequences worsen.

Having already fallen once on the road to official career, is he going to be crushed to pieces again now that he has entered the business world

Jin Feng had just been recognized by his family, and it was hard for him to accept the consequences of failure again. He heaved a long sigh, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Ms. Ning, I admit defeat. If you have any conditions, you might as well tell me directly, I can agree to them."

Ning Xiangcao smiled faintly and said, "I haven't thought of the conditions yet, I just want to remind you of the actual situation of Jincheng Group. I think you should be able to keep the secret and not announce the relationship between DG and Zheng's to the public, otherwise you will only become a sinner of the family. As for the few small requests that Director Fang mentioned just now, I think you can do it."

Jin Feng's mind was blank, he didn't even know when Ning Xiangcao hung up the phone.
