Indeed, the city of Dachang is a huge pit!
Chu Lingtian thought about it, and it made sense. Otherwise, the Dragon Lord wouldn't have needed him to personally handle this matter if it weren't significant.
It turned out that before Chu Lingtian returned to Dachang, the Ninth Princess had come to the city incognito on a private visit, and then mysteriously disappeared.
The Dragon Lord immediately ordered a search for the Ninth Princess's whereabouts. However, despite turning Dachang upside down, there was no trace of her.
The Ninth Princess was the Dragon Lord's beloved daughter, his pride and joy.
The Dragon Lord was left with no choice but to ask Chu Lingtian to come to Dachang to help find the Ninth Princess and, incidentally, to sort out the city's underground order.
The fact that the Ninth Princess disappeared in Dachang and the Lord of the Dragon Kingdom's men, who investigated her whereabouts, found nothing was enough to indicate the problems within Dachang.
After arriving in Dachang, Chu Lingtian had also been investigating the matter secretly, but with little progress.
Now that he knew this person named Long Yue was the underground emperor of Dachang, things would be much easier.
Chu Lingtian opened his computer and reviewed the emails sent by Mei Gui.
Within tens of seconds, Chu Lingtian had a clear understanding of the situation of the Wu family in the capital.
"No matter who you are! If you want to get your hands on Bao Xue Company, you're blind!"
Chu Lingtian closed his computer and drove home to see Liu Bingxue.
Liu Bingxue was still worried about the company at home, so she secretly called Qin Li to inquire about Chu Lingtian's situation at the company.
Upon hearing about Chu Lingtian's actions at the company, she was also surprised.
Had Chu Lingtian been hiding this from her all along?
Did he have another identity?
Otherwise, Nine Stars Company wouldn't have been so accommodating. She had tried many times before, and they hadn't paid any attention to her.
As for inviting a top cosmetic research and development team from the capital, Liu Bingxue had also considered it but had never managed to achieve it.
Chu Lingtian had just taken over her position, and he had already managed to get it done.
In just one day, Chu Lingtian had accomplished two major tasks and, in the process, resolved the trouble with Bai Yun Company.
Liu Bingxue planned to call him and have a good talk with Chu Lingtian.
As she picked up her phone, she immediately put it down.
Because Chu Lingtian and Zhang Ping were walking in from outside.
Zhang Ping was holding a bowl of nourishing soup to replenish qi and blood, which was for Liu Bingxue to support her pregnancy.
"Mom, put the soup down and go out. I need to talk to Chu Lingtian!" Liu Bingxue said.
She was very curious about how Chu Lingtian had managed to get Nine Stars Company to come to them and wanted to ask him about it personally.
Zhang Ping nodded, understanding her intention. Seeing Liu Bingxue and Chu Lingtian's relationship growing closer made her happy as a mother.
"Ling Tian, feed Bingxue the soup, and I'll head out!"
Chu Lingtian smiled and nodded, took the soup from Zhang Ping, and sat down beside Liu Bingxue.
After Zhang Ping left, Liu Bingxue immediately said, "I heard you've been doing well at the company!"
"You don't have to hear about it. Just say Qin Li told you. I've indeed done quite well, but this is just the beginning!"
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "Now you can rest at home and focus on your pregnancy. When you give birth to the child, I'll give you a world-renowned cosmetics company!"
"Stop right there!"
Liu Bingxue had originally wanted to praise Chu Lingtian, but seeing him getting so inflated, she immediately changed her mind and decided to rein him in.
"Do you know what the most important thing in running a business is?"
Liu Bingxue said with a serious expression, "It's being down-to-earth, proceeding cautiously step-by-step, and maintaining a calm demeanor!"
"A restless person cannot run a company well!"
Chu Lingtian put on an expression of sudden realization.
Not bad, he could take her words to heart so quickly!
Liu Bingxue was pleased with Chu Lingtian's behavior.
However, she soon realized she had misunderstood.
Because Chu Lingtian delivered a blow to her, leaving Liu Bingxue stunned.
"So this is why Bao Xue Company hasn't grown bigger!"
Liu Bingxue said indignantly, "What are you talking about? Bao Xue Company is my lifelong effort. How could I have done it badly?"
"You've done alright, but you're still a long way from true success!"
Chu Lingtian, fearing he would severely impact Liu Bingxue's mood, spoke tactfully.
"You... then I'd like to hear your brilliant insights!"
Chu Lingtian said calmly, "In my opinion, doing business well comes down to two words: connections!"
"As long as you have connections, everything becomes clear and easy!"
"Without connections, most efforts are thankless!"
The words were crude, but the logic was sound!
Liu Bingxue found it difficult to refute what he said. After all, this society was ultimately a world of human relationships.
With connections, one could get by anywhere!
"Fine, I can't argue with you. But I'd like to hear how you managed to get Nine Stars Company to come to us?" Liu Bingxue said with a smile.
Chu Lingtian said unhurriedly, "It's nothing much. The boss of their company happened to owe me a favor, so he returned it."
"Do you expect me to believe your nonsense?"
Chu Lingtian, too lazy to explain, directly dialed the number of Liu Tianfeng, the president of Nine Stars Company.
"Hello, Mr. Chu!"
When Liu Tianfeng saw it was Chu Lingtian's call, she immediately became alert.
Chu Lingtian said nothing and put the phone on speaker.
"Hello, Mr. Chu, are you still there? Are you unhappy with our proposal? Please don't worry. I'll have them work overtime immediately to create a new proposal for you!"
Liu Bingxue looked at Chu Lingtian in shock.
She hadn't expected Chu Lingtian to be able to reach Liu Tianfeng. After all, his phone number was confidential.
"Mr. Chu? Are you listening to me?"
Liu Tianfeng thought Chu Lingtian was angry and hurriedly said, "I'm in a meeting in the capital right now. I'll come to Dachang later to see you!"
Hearing Liu Tianfeng's panicked reaction, Chu Lingtian finally spoke.
"It's fine, you don't need to come back. We are very satisfied with your proposal. Thank you very much this time. I'll treat you to a meal in Longdu City another day!"
"Mr. Chu, you jest. You saved my life, so this is a small matter. When I return, I will visit you in Dachang!"
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "Okay, you get back to work then. I won't bother you further!"
After that, Chu Lingtian hung up the phone.
"Wife, do you believe me now? From now on, just mention my name, and Nine Stars Company will listen to you!"
It turned out that Chu Lingtian had saved Liu Tianfeng's life two years ago while on a mission, and they had maintained contact.
Coincidentally, Liu Tianfeng's Nine Stars Company was a top sales company. Chu Lingtian, wanting to promote Bao Xue Company's products, contacted Liu Tianfeng.
"Do you admire your husband? I've saved countless people, and many of them are influential figures!" Chu Lingtian said with a chuckle.
He wasn't speaking carelessly.
When Chu Lingtian was in the military, he and his subordinates acted as a rapid response team.
Wherever there were insurmountable difficulties, they were there.
"I admire you a little bit!"
