"Who is this? Walking around so arrogantly, don't they know tonight's reception is Young Master Zhao's territory?"
"Such a strong aura, they don't look like an ordinary person. I wonder what a grand scene it will be when Young Master Zhao appears."
A young master who didn't recognize Zhao Yunhai, perched on the second-floor corridor, looked down at the person below and chuckled gleefully.
"Hush! You better shut up. That person is Young Master Zhao."
A young master beside him, who didn't recognize Young Master Zhao but did recognize Yu Manlou, quickly said.
If Yu Manlou, such a defiant business genius, was honestly standing behind that person, then that person must be Young Master Zhao.
The one who was still gloating froze and quickly shut his mouth, becoming quiet.
"That person is the young master Zhao Yunhai."
"It is rumored that Yu Manlou of the Yu family has a close relationship with Young Master Zhao."
A member of the Fu Yun Chamber of Commerce said meaningfully to Zhang Yunyi.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunyi couldn't help but look at Zhao Yunhai. For some reason, he felt that the reception was held to target him.
He was truly surprised that Yu Manlou had such a close relationship with Zhao Yunhai.
He believed that Uncle Qian must have omitted this information to prevent him from attending the reception.
In that case, did his plan to annex the Yu Group need to be revised?
If Zhao Yunhai was Yu Manlou's savior, then he had to act decisively and crush the Yu Group before Zhao Yunhai could react.
The Yu Group had repeatedly targeted him. If he didn't retaliate, wouldn't that make him seem easily bullied?
Even if Zhao Yunhai made a move, he wouldn't be afraid. His golden finger gave him this confidence.
"I thought Zhao Yunhai was no different from other rich second-generation heirs in Haizhou. I didn't expect him to be so elegant and refined. I just don't know about his character."
Qian Lin'er looked at Zhao Yunhai with immense curiosity and whispered.
Qian Yuanhui also knew about the relationship between Yu Manlou and Zhao Yunhai, but he didn't know their true connection. He hoped that Zhang Yunyi could replace Yu Manlou and gain Zhao Yunhai's favor.
At that time, Zhang Yunyi could leverage Zhao Yunhai's network to expand his business empire across Kyushu in the shortest possible time.
This was Qian Yuanhui's true intention, and he genuinely cared for Zhang Yunyi.
"What's wrong? Jealous?" Qian Lin'er teased Zhang Yunyi, who was spacing out.
"How could I be." Seeing her misunderstanding, Zhang Yunyi smiled bitterly and rubbed his nose. He was just thinking about company matters.
"Hmph." Qian Lin'er, however, felt that Zhang Yunyi was indeed jealous, and let out an arrogant snort, a smile appearing on her lips.
Zhao Yunhai's opening remarks were ordinary, but everyone listened intently. If it were anyone else, it wouldn't be the same. Given Zhao Yunhai's status, everyone present would naturally show him respect.
"I wonder who Zhang Yunyi is. My friend Manlou mentioned that there seems to be some misunderstanding between the Yu Group and Yunmi Company."
Zhao Yunhai's gaze shifted towards Zhang Yunyi's direction, and he spoke calmly into the microphone.
The microphone amplified his voice throughout the venue. Everyone present turned to look at Zhang Yunyi, their eyes filled with schadenfreude.
At this moment, Qian Yuanhui stepped forward to support Zhang Yunyi, saying loudly, "Young Master Zhao, the Yu Group has been acting domineeringly in Haizhou, repeatedly suppressing emerging companies."
"The Yu Group has been indiscriminately attacking Yunmi Company, and Yunmi Company has only fought back in self-defense."
"Is there something wrong with that?"
Qian Yuanhui's words were only met with agreement from his own people in the Fu Yun Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone present was a business magnate in Haizhou. While they appeared to be watching, they sneered inwardly. Qian Yuanhui himself had engaged in such activities frequently.
Suppressing new companies was a common practice for them. Mergers and acquisitions, financing – these were all normal business practices.
Some influential figures in the private rooms on the second floor listened with great interest, swirling their wine glasses and discussing secret topics.
These topics invariably revolved around the Zhao family.
In the eyes of these influential figures, Zhao Yunhai was someone even they dared not offend. In fact, many of them had questionable ties to the Zhao family themselves.
Zhang Yunyi swept his disdainful gaze over everyone and looked at Zhao Yunhai, raising his head confidently and saying.
"There's nothing to say. It's all about the victor taking all. The Yu Group has repeatedly attacked my Yunmi Company, and there is now no possibility of reconciliation between us."
"If you intend to mediate, I advise you to abandon that idea. I will never back down unless my Yunmi Company goes bankrupt."
"However..." Zhang Yunyi looked at Yu Manlou behind Zhao Yunhai and sneered, "I don't think the Yu Group will live to see that day."
Zhao Yunhai smiled at Zhang Yunyi. The 'double down' in his mind was finally activated. Indeed, only by engaging in dialogue with the protagonist could the 'double down' be triggered.
Finally, the number displayed by the 'double down' was three.
This meant he had gained three times Zhang Yunyi's abilities. Feeling an unprecedented clarity in his business acumen, it seemed Zhang Yunyi did possess some business talent.
However, this was not the most important thing. Zhao Yunhai looked down and opened his palm, gazing at the black card in his hand with a smile.
As expected, this black card was Zhang Yunyi's most crucial ability.
Meanwhile, Yu Manlou's father, standing beside him, looked anxious. If Young Master Zhao was here to mediate, then the Yu Group's losses would be irreversible.
Yu Manlou signaled his father to remain calm, stating that everything would be at Young Master Zhao's discretion.
Moreover, based on his understanding of Brother Yunhai, a reconciliation with Zhang Yunyi was absolutely impossible.
"I am not here to mediate," Zhao Yunhai said with a chuckle, putting the black card into his pocket. He looked up at Zhang Yunyi and said calmly.
"From what I understand, the source of your initial funding is highly unusual. I have already notified the relevant authorities to investigate you."
"Everyone present here is a businessman of integrity. I will not allow anyone to tarnish the commercial development of Haizhou."
"Well said!" Someone who had long resented Yunmi Company's rapid growth immediately applauded.
"Young Master Zhao speaks well. We are of clean conduct and will not allow such a parasite to stain the future commercial development of Haizhou."
"Exactly, exactly."
"I've suspected him for a long time. How could an ordinary programmer like him develop to this extent in such a short period? There must be something wrong."
Zhao Yunhai's words immediately garnered widespread agreement. Regardless of right or wrong, siding with Young Master Zhao was the correct choice.
"This..." Qian Yuanhui's face showed concern. He hadn't expected Zhao Yunhai to suddenly target Zhang Yunyi.
"Heh heh ---- the innocent will remain innocent."
Zhang Yunyi appeared unafraid of an investigation.
Although he couldn't explain those two sums of money, the other party wouldn't be able to find any fault with them.
Zhao Yunhai smiled without speaking, watching him. This was just the beginning. Protagonist, are you ready?
