Taoist Master Leaves the Mountains: All My Senior Sisters Love Me

Meanwhile, onlookers gathered around the big screen, having heard the conversation between Wang Ye and Fang Cunshan, came to understand why they had gathered there.

"The four major families are offering Wang Ye such great treatment—he only needs to hang around the company and still gets paid. What great treatment that is."

"I'm so envious of Wang Ye for getting such treatment, it's something I wouldn't even dare dream of."

Some pedestrians spoke, their faces full of envy.

In the meeting room of the Yun City Business Association, upon hearing the words from Fang Cunshan's mouth, both Wang Ye and Xia Qingxin looked at Fang Cunshan and the other three family heads with an expression as if they were staring at fools.

Next to Wang Ye, Xia Qingxin spoke, "Patriarch Fang, I respectfully address you here as Director Fang, you cannot bully my junior fellow. You should know that the wealth involved is massive, and just one percent of it would set my junior fellow up for life without worry about food or drink. So why then must that portion of the wealth be shared with you, making it seem like you're bestowing charity on my junior fellow?"

Outside, the pedestrians watching the big screen reacted immediately upon hearing Xia Qingxin's words.

"Indeed, such a huge fortune—I was just thinking that corporate families are ruthless. How could they possibly be so kind-hearted? So, it turns out, in the end, they're just deceiving us, right?"

"The heads of the four major families, ganging up to deceive Master Wang? Can't the heads of these four major families have some shame?"

These pedestrians began to vocally criticize the family heads of the four major families, and in Xia Qingxin's office, a smile appeared on Li Ying's face upon hearing them.

But, worry also appeared on Li Ying's face.

The heads of the four major families had gathered together and called Wang Ye over.

Though his senior sister, Xia Qingxin, had also gone, Li Ying knew that Xia Qingxin's status was not especially high in front of the heads of the four major families.

Li Ying wondered whether his junior fellow and senior sister could properly resolve this issue.

...

In the meeting room of the Yun City Business Association.

Xia Qingxin, eyeing Yang Xing and the others, spoke to them, "The four major families can still develop well without the Wang family's profits, and, moreover, Wang Ye is inherently a member of the Wang family, so these matters are rightfully his. You have no right to this fortune."

"How could it be considered demanding?" Fang Cunshan said with a smile, "We are just negotiating terms with Wang Ye, simply making a trade."

"Ha!"

Xia Qingxin scoffed, "A trade? Are you truly sincere, willing to offer fair profits to make this exchange?"

"Enough, Xia Qingxin!"

The scolding voice of Yang Xing rang out directly, his eyes fixed on Xia Qingxin as if he wanted to devour her:

"Xia Qingxin, do you really think you are so formidable just because you have a relatively large group in Yun City?"

"The Xia Qing Group was able to rise in Yun City precisely because we tacitly agreed to it behind the scenes. Without our consent, your group would have fallen in Yun City in no time!"

When Yang Xing said this, the underlying meanings in his words were almost palpable.

Threat!

Xia Qingxin, however, was not intimidated by Yang Xing, staring back into his eyes without any sign of retreating, "So, are you threatening me?"

"Director Xia,"

He Guang spoke from the side, "The status of the Xia Qing Group, compared with that of the four major families in Yun City, I hope you can understand your place and not maintain such an attitude from the moment you walked in here. Otherwise, whether the Xia Qing Group can continue to develop in Yun City is really a question."

Mei Yu also spoke, "Director Xia, you should know, many operations inside the Xia Qing Group are related to our four major families."

With Yang Xing, He Guang, and Mei Yu speaking one after another, the atmosphere of the place became tense in just a moment.

There was a palpable sense of swords drawn and bows bent.

"Enough already." Fang Cunshan said with a smile, playing good cop, "What does this have to do with the Xia Qing Group? We're just discussing terms, not talking about corporate development."

Fang Cunshan then turned to Xia Qingxin, his face friendly as he said, "Director Xia, but you surely know that the four major families do indeed hold a part in the Xia Qing Group."

"Here's the deal—if Wang Ye agrees, then the four major families will also properly support the Xia Qing Group going forward, fostering further development of the Xia Qing Group in Yun City."

Among the heads of the four major families, three played bad cop while one played good cop.

If it were someone else here alone, they might have fallen into their trap by now, thinking Fang Cunshan a good person.

But neither Xia Qingxin nor Wang Ye were ordinary people.

Thus, upon hearing Fang Cunshan's words, Xia Qingxin retorted directly, "Director Fang, don't insult our intelligence. Who can't see through your playing good cop here?"

"No matter how well you act, you're just a clown performing for us."

Fang Cunshan's lips twitched when he heard Xia Qingxin's words.

He was indeed playing good cop.

But he hadn't expected Xia Qingxin to point it out so directly and rebuke him harshly.

Having their act of good cop, bad cop exposed, Fang Cunshan knew that continuing this way would be of no use, so he simply stopped playing good cop.

Instead, he looked at Xia Qingxin and Wang Ye, his expression turning icy in a blink:

"Let me be frank with you. The fortune that Wang Ye holds is something we must have."

"The disappearance of the Wang family was also driven by us."

"Now, any remaining assets of the Wang family must be ours, whether you agree to it or not, we are set on taking this fortune!"

"If you don't agree,"

"then the Xia Qing Group had better not think about continuing to develop in Yun City!"

"Additionally..."

Fang Cunshan turned to Wang Ye, looking down on him as if he were an ant, and said, "Do you think, if you disappeared, how many people would care about you?"
