Chapter 33 (2/2)
The other three people turned serious. Su Chen started to talk first, “Big brother, the news of you returning to Beijing has a huge impact in the business world. LSA Group holds huge power, and it’s eyeing covetously at the market now. Recently, the companies all around, including Qiao Group and Yu Group are stirring up a commotion.”
“Yu Group?” Li Yan smirked, “My uncle really raised a capable woman who is doing such a great job with the family business!”
The corners of Lu Jingzhi’s lips curved into a smile, “Yu Tingyun is also considered to be an extraordinary character. She is the major shareholder of both Qiao and Yu Group. In these few years, these two companies are also slowly merging into one!”
Ling Xi snorted disdainfully, “Regardless of how brilliant she is, she is still just a woman. She only has one daughter who joined Qiao Group not long ago. She came to discuss a collaboration with Ling Group, and she’s practically a bimbo! If Qiao Group and Yu Group are passed on to her, both companies will soon go bankrupt!”
Su Chen stole a glance at Li Yan before he casually said, “Isn’t there a second young mistress in the Qiao family?”
Ling Xi seemed to be thinking otherwise. “Second young mistress? Oh, that illegitimate daughter? The rightful first young mistress is already a mess, how is it possible for the illegitimate daughter to gain a foothold? It’s already a surprise that Yu Tingyun allowed the illegitimate daughter into the Qiao family. As for inheriting the Qiao family’s assets, that’s another matter entirely!”
As Ling Xi dove into his analysis he did not notice Li Yan’s expression slowly turning gloomy.
On the side, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi exchanged a glance. Both of them felt that Ling Xi’s blabbering mouth had gotten him into trouble again.
Li Yan’s finger was tapping against the couch’s armrest and his voice was ice cold when he spoke, “I said let’s discuss business. Is this business?”
Ling Xi was at a loss. He had simply said something, why did the iceberg suddenly change his expression?
Most importantly, Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi seemed like they were rejoicing in his misfortune when they stared at him, as if he had gotten himself into trouble.
Soon after, Li Yan once again spoke with a nonchalant tone, “Ling Xi, since you’re so bored and fond of gossiping about the family affairs of others, you can handle those few batches of goods in Africa before you return.”
He had once again addressed Ling Xi by his full name!
Ling Xi was stunned, “Big brother, I’m sorry!”
This punishment was far too severe!
