“I don't drink tea!” Jiang Yi stated.
“Alas!” Changsun Xiong sighed, “The Vice President returned from abroad specifically targeting me. I didn’t expect his sudden return and it caught me completely off guard.”
“How dare a Vice President disrespect me? If I find an opportunity, I will definitely kill him!”
With that, Changsun Xiong’s face was filled with rage. Changsun Xiong was grinding his teeth with hatred.
“Tomorrow, a tourist group from Eagle Country will be arriving in the capital. Everyone in this group consists of nobles from Eagle Country, as well as some major bosses and elites from Eagle Country’s business circles.”
“I had originally planned for the Royal Hotel to host them, but the Vice President led people to oppose me, providing all sorts of infuriating reasons,” Changsun Xiong said.
“I came to find you today precisely for this matter!” Jiang Yi stated.
“I can’t help you this time!” Changsun Xiong said helplessly, “The Vice President contacted the leader of this group in advance, and the leader agreed to let Ye Yanran’s hotel host them.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yi felt a bit disappointed. He had promised Dongfang Mei, but failed to deliver. Jiang Yi knew that Changsun Xiong truly couldn't help him this time.
“Ye Yanran only arrived in the capital a year ago, and the Vice President hasn’t returned to the capital in years. Logically, the Vice President shouldn’t even know Ye Yanran! Why is the Vice President helping Ye Yanran? This matter is too strange,” Changsun Xiong said doubtfully.
“There's only one explanation!” Jiang Yi said, “The Vice President and Ye Yanran are both backed by the same person, which is my uncle!”
“That’s right, the Vice President is definitely your uncle’s subordinate. Your uncle must have instructed him to return to help Ye Yanran deal with you,” Changsun Xiong said with a solemn expression.
“I’ve also figured something out now,” Jiang Yi said.
“What is it?” Changsun Xiong asked.
“This morning, I was preparing to deal with Dongfang Xun and Liu Yuan, when a middle-aged man from the Capital Chamber of Commerce rushed in and rescued Dongfang Xun and Liu Yuan.”
“If I’m not mistaken, it must have been the Vice President who sent that middle-aged man to save them. The Vice President is not only targeting me, but also targeting you,” Jiang Yi said with a cold smile.
“So what should we do now? Their collusion is greatly unfavorable,” Changsun Xiong frowned.
“This is very simple, we just need to eliminate the Vice President!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile, “The Vice President is your uncle’s subordinate, and he must be eliminated.”
Hearing this, Changsun Xiong smiled slightly. “Mr. Jiang, if you personally take action, the Vice President will surely be finished. By removing the Vice President, we’ll have one less enemy,” Changsun Xiong said.
“Precisely!” Jiang Yi nodded.
“Then, Mr. Jiang, do you have a specific plan?” Changsun Xiong asked.
“Regardless of anything else, the Vice President is a high-ranking official of the Capital Chamber of Commerce. If we directly eliminate him, it will surely cause great chaos in the capital’s business circles, and perhaps lead to even greater trouble!” Jiang Yi said, “Therefore, the best approach is to deal with the Vice President openly and aboveboard.”
“That might be a bit difficult!” Changsun Xiong took a deep breath.
“It’s not difficult!” Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. “This Vice President is your uncle’s subordinate and is certainly not a good person. We just need to send people to secretly track him. Once he commits any wrongdoing, we will immediately seize his weakness, and then magnify his wrongdoings, making everyone in the capital aware of them.”
“Then, we can use this as an excuse to expel him from the Capital Chamber of Commerce. Once he is no longer the Vice President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce, it will be very easy to deal with him!”
“This method is good, but it also has loopholes. Unless he commits a major offense, there’s no way to expel him from the Capital Chamber of Commerce!” Changsun Xiong said.
“We don’t need him to commit a major offense!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile, “I know the leader above you. As long as we catch a minor slip-up, we can use it to stir up trouble.”
Hearing this, Changsun Xiong was stunned on the spot!
“You know my superior?” Changsun Xiong couldn't help but ask.
“That’s right!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile, “If I didn’t know your superior, how could it be so easy for you to become the President of the Capital Chamber of Commerce?”
Hearing this, Changsun Xiong finally showed a happy smile. He now knew that Jiang Yi knew the superior, and he didn’t need to worry at all. Since that was the case, eliminating the Vice President would be effortless.
“I will send people to secretly keep an eye on the Vice President shortly!” Changsun Xiong said with a grin.
“Mhm!” Jiang Yi nodded, then asked Changsun Xiong, “Is Changsun Hao alright?”
Seeing Jiang Yi ask about Changsun Hao, Changsun Xiong was stunned for a moment. After a moment, Changsun Xiong recovered his senses.
“That scoundrel is still in the hospital, seriously injured. He will likely have to stay in the hospital for several months,” Changsun Xiong said. He continued, “I have already investigated the matter from that day. Although Mr. Jiang was present, it had nothing to do with you. That scoundrel was arrogant and provoked a fighter, and was severely beaten by that fighter.”
“He suffered a great loss being beaten like this this time. I hope he will behave himself in the future and stop causing trouble for me!”
Jiang Yi did not speak. In fact, Jiang Yi knew that the fighter was arranged by Dongfang Mei. However, Jiang Yi did not intend to tell Changsun Xiong. Changsun Hao’s predicament was his own doing.
“By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask for your help with!” Jiang Yi said to Changsun Xiong.
“Mr. Jiang, please speak freely,” Changsun Xiong said.
“I want the list of that tourist group,” Jiang Yi said with a smile. “I don’t have any other purpose; I just want to see if there’s anyone I know on it.” He had spent several years in Eagle Country with his master and knew quite a few big figures in Eagle Country’s business circles. If there was someone he knew in this tourist group, perhaps he could still turn the situation around and have the Royal Hotel be responsible for hosting this tourist group. Jiang Yi didn’t hold out much hope. After all, there were so many influential figures in Eagle Country, and it was unlikely he would know anyone in this tourist group.
“Alright, I’ll give you the list right away.” Changsun Xiong then began searching on his desk. After a few minutes, Changsun Xiong finally found the list among a pile of messy documents and handed it to Jiang Yi.
After taking the list, Jiang Yi left Changsun Xiong’s office. In the car, Jiang Yi opened the list. There were quite a few people on the list, each with a passport photo, their names, and brief identity information. After Jiang Yi reviewed it, he had an unexpected discovery. Unexpectedly, a familiar name appeared in this tourist group: Stephen.
