Chamber of Commerce Alliance.
Simon stood in front of the oversized floor-to-ceiling window, his shadow blending into the light outside.
"Is it Qiao Nian who intervened?"
"President, it's her."
"I see."
Simon's eyes darkened and he pursed his lips.
"You can get out now."
After a brief hesitation, his men quietly retreated, closing the door for him before leaving.
The office fell into complete silence.
Simon stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-rise building.
The sun had already come out at ten in the morning, and the sunlight shone through the glass window onto him. It should have been warm, but he felt freezing cold.
He stood there for a while, not knowing whether the choice he was making was right.
But he remembered that he had chosen to stand on the side of the hidden family in Ji Zinyin's matter, and had already offended that person.
Even if he wanted to turn back, I'm afraid that person would at most not cause him trouble, and it would be impossible for him to help the Chamber of Commerce Alliance make further progress in the Independent Continent.
Therefore, wealth and honor must be sought in danger.
Simon finally walked back, picked up the intercom, and called through the IP-erased phone.
"beep."
There was a ring on the other end and I picked up the phone.
Simon's still handsome face was now clouded with gloom and his eyes were dark.
"I've thought about it."
"We work together."
"According to the conditions we have agreed on before, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will take over all of the Ji family's southern branches after success! If there is no problem, then cooperate. If there is a problem, then just pretend I didn't make this call."
What he wanted was a bit too much, which was twice as much as what the other party had offered him before. However, the alliance took such a big risk to provoke Qiao Nian this time, it was impossible that they only wanted the three branches of the Ji family.
If the talks failed, he would rather give up this opportunity. There was a rustling sound of electricity coming from the other end of the receiver.
The person on the other end didn't think for long at all, and said with a click of the tongue: "Deal."
Simon put his nervous heart back, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Happy cooperation."
“It’s been a pleasure working with you.”
The voice on the other end was exactly the same as the young man who had spoken in his office before, as if they were the same person!

"Is it done?"
The wind was strong at the bay pier.
A young man in a long windbreaker, with his hood covering his face and a mask on his mouth, was strolling leisurely in the busy pier.
He looked unremarkable.
In fact, it was extremely strange to appear in a place like Bay Pier at this particular time.
The man just wandered around the dock and then walked into a small alley made of piled goods.
These alleys are interconnected and each one is so narrow that only one person can pass through. Usually, only dock workers pass through here.
Unlike the scorching sun outside, these narrow alleys are dark all year round. They are pitch black and you can only see the road when the sun comes out. On a cloudy day, you may not even be able to see the road clearly when walking through them.
But he was very familiar with the path here, turning left and right.
As I was walking, I met the person who was waiting there.
The visitor was not a stranger.
With inconspicuous facial features and dressed in black, he looked like a shadow.
Who else could it be but the shadow of Nie Qingru's right-hand man
Shadow seemed to be very familiar with the young man. After meeting him, he immediately asked him: "The Queen is still waiting for your news."
The young man still had his hood covering his eyes so his emotions could not be seen. He looked up as if he had just seen a shadow, and said slowly, "Most of the traces on the dock have been cleaned up, but I was lucky enough to find a few bullet holes and burn marks left by a small gadget."
