The next day, Ji Linran was not at ease with Ji Yunsheng's situation. After work, she immediately left, leaving Di Shaoyan, who came to find her, empty-handed.

”What's wrong with this woman in the past two days?” Di Shaoyan looked at the empty office, doubt flashing past his eyes.

Since that's the case, young master, you …

Qiao Yushu was her best friend, her former friend. Their friendship was mostly established on the basis of the partnership between Madam Qiao and Ji Shi. With the Ji family's bankruptcy, the two gradually broke off their relationship.

Why would she come here to look for her brother at this time of day?

Suspicion flashed in her eyes as she made up her mind to eavesdrop.

For the first time, she thanked the wooden door for its incongruity with the frame, allowing her to clearly hear the conversation inside.

The two of them sat across from each other with a glass of water beside each of their hands.

There was a touch of awkwardness on Qiao Yu Shu's face. Her hands intertwined together, and it was Ji Yunsheng who finally opened her mouth.

”Yushi, I know that you never visit the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. Just speak frankly if you have anything to say. There is nothing that I am currently afraid of.” Ji Yunsheng's tone was indifferent, and did not contain the slightest hint of the happiness of an old friend. He raised his cup and took a sip, with an indifferent expression.

Qiao Yushu's face flashed an unnatural look before she smiled. ”Big Brother Ji, you've changed a lot.”

”I'm fine.” Ji Yunsheng remained indifferent, the meaning behind his reply was dense.

Qiao Yushu gritted her teeth. ”Big Brother Ji, I'll be frank! A new round of bids began! For a small residential area, it is necessary to build a comprehensive shopping mall. There are a lot of people competing, and the Qiao family's opponent is only the Zhao! ”

When the word ”Zhao” came out of Qiao Yushu's mouth, Ji Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. The fingers holding the cup of water tightened up a little, but his expression was as if he had only heard of a stranger's words and it had nothing to do with him.

Looking at Ji Yunsheng's expression, Qiao Yushu was somewhat disappointed. She bit her lips: ”But, Zhao has the help of Di’s, so my Qiao family's chances are slim.”

”Di’s and Zhao have a long-term cooperative relationship, and it's even a trade. The previous big project of the Di’s had just ended, and the new project has already begun. Therefore, at this time, the two projects started at the same time, causing the funding for the project to be extremely tight, and the Zhao provided the funds to the Di’s in exchange for helping the Zhao create the most elite construction team, and helped the Zhao create a construction plan that is consistent with the financial resources of the Zhao! ”

”In other words, with Di’s here, the Zhao will definitely win. Our Qiao Family only has one path, and that is to not follow in the Ji Family's footsteps and once again get ruined by the alliance of these two families!” There was a common hatred in Qiao Yushu's voice. It was obvious that he wanted to rely on Ji Yunsheng's dissatisfaction towards the Di’s and Zhao to achieve his goal.

How could Ji Yunsheng, who had been traversing through the entire shopping mall for more than ten years, not see through her intentions? Thus, he only said indifferently, ”Yushi, whether it's the Di’s or the Zhao, none of them are things that I, as of today, have access to. So, you came to find me and said all this, don't tell me you want me to help you deal with the Di’s?”

His tone was indifferent, with a hint of self-mockery.

She did not expect that after speaking so much, the other party would actually not be moved at all. After all, whether it was the Di’s or the Zhao, both of them were the Ji Family's bankrupt, the main culprit behind Ji Yunsheng's fall to his current state!

She was somewhat unhappy, but she could not show it. After all, this was the time to beg for help.

She lowered her posture and said, ”Big Brother Ji, I would like to ask if you have any close friends, young masters of influential clans, or anything like that …”

Ji Yunsheng smiled and looked at Qiao Yushu. ”If I did, would I still be able to reach where I am today?”
