. Guk-heon naturally hurried after her."The night sky is full of stars!"She gave the name, then closed her eyes.She wanted to drink, to get drunk, and then not think about anything, to sleep so sound...Rong Ling used a strategy of attacking the heart against Lin Meng, subtly changing her thoughts over and over again. In his several encounters with Jiang Chengfeng, he appeared more and more tolerant and magnanimous, which only highlighted the narrow-mindedness of the Jiang family. He wouldn't stop Lin Meng and Jiang Chengfeng from talking on the phone, but he would absolutely prevent them from meeting privately. What he could control was that the more Lin Meng and Jiang Chengfeng talked on the phone, the greater the rift between them would become. Because with just phone calls, there were bound to be many things that couldn't be communicated clearly.
He was determined to pluck out the poisonous tumor that the Jiang family had implanted in Lin Meng's heart. Now, he was doing it step by step. What he said, repaying Jiang Po Lang's favor for Lin Meng, was his biggest and final move. He also hated that his woman owed someone such a huge debt of gratitude, a debt that even involved her life. Although the Jiang family's attack this time caught him off guard, his strength lay in turning disadvantages into advantages, using this opportunity to achieve greater results.
When members of the Jiang family took action against him, he endured it, just as he had promised Lin Meng. He would let Lin Meng see with his own eyes how he repaid kindness. Of course, he would also let Lin Meng see how, due to the machinations of the Jiang family, he was driven to such a state of ruin.
He would not strike back, for no one else could. For in his eyes, Lin Meng's heart was worth far more than the fleeting loss he suffered.
News about the negative aspects of Shuangmu Group continues to come. Lin Meng follows Rong Ling closely, so she knows everything. This is also what Rong Ling wants her to see.
After the decline of Shuangmu's stock, what Lin Meng least wanted to see was that Shuangmu's industrial sector was also affected, and some industries should be said to have been hit.
Regarding administrative departments, they have forcibly intervened in Shuangmu's operations, disrupting many normal business activities. They cite various reasons, such as fire safety deficiencies requiring temporary suspension for rectification; allegations that factories are suspected of polluting the surrounding environment and need to cooperate with relevant departments for investigation; and for larger projects, temporary halts are imposed. In terms of healthcare, issues like unqualified sanitation and inflated drug prices are also cited.These vague justifications exist in most companies and industries, yet administrative departments have long turned a blind eye. Now, these issues are being brought to light and directed solely towards Shuangmu's subsidiaries.
Therefore, these administrative departments wanting to target you is simply a matter of thought, and in reality, they are just doing what they've been entrusted with and serving their masters. If they were truly so strict in their demands, then most companies in the country would have to shut down; of course, the big and small officials within these departments wouldn't have a way to accept bribes from all walks of life, increasing their own gray income. Naturally, they couldn't possibly live like those idle rats who simply rest comfortably, with their days consisting only of opening and closing their eyes.
Everyone knows that Shuangmu has been subjected to such frequent and intensive inspections and announcements because it has offended someone and is being targeted. Therefore, Shuangmu's stock price has plummeted even further under the influence of these industrial pressures.
"It's someone from the He family!"
Yu Xu informed.
"The daughter of the He family seems to have taken a liking to Jiang Chengfeng."
Then, under Jiang Chengfeng's suggestion, the He family, especially that Minister He, used their power to take care of relevant departments, making it a simple matter for them to properly attend to Shuangmu Group. Especially at this time, Rong Sanbo was under house arrest and undergoing disciplinary inspection by the inspection department. With Rong Ling's greatest reliance gone, these people naturally didn't need to worry about anything when doing things.
He Wen's photo was slapped onto the coffee table.
Lin Meng, sitting on the sofa, watched with wide eyes that quickly narrowed. Although her face returned to normal, a wry smile played on her lips. This woman named He Wen was someone she knew. That day, this woman had inexplicably turned against her, then mocked her, and finally got drenched in a basin of vegetables by Leng Nu's icy wrath.
This is her fault again!
That woman gives off the impression of being proud and haughty, it's estimated that she would find it hard to swallow this humiliation. Now, both good and bad spirits, this woman has acted up.
What really made her heart ache was how close Jiang Chengfeng and He Wen were. That day, when Mrs. Jiang introduced He Wen, her tone was full of fondness. If He Wen had only wanted to vent her anger, she wouldn't have made such a big fuss, after all, Yu Xu was also a shareholder of Shuangmu, and his grandfather was an old general, so there were things to consider. But she didn't care at all because Jiang Chengfeng had given her the green light, hadn't he
For love, women are always willing to do anything.
Besides, according to my investigation, the Liu family has gathered a lot of funds these days and borrowed some from outside. With the stock price continuing to decline, the Liu family's move is probably not far off.
"We have to get the stocks before the Liu family makes their move." Yao Feiqian, who had just returned from abroad, frowned and said.
Shi Yu expressed his disagreement. "There are so many scattered shareholders, it's not something we can handle. Moreover, with the current stock price falling all the way down, if we take it now, what if Jiang Liu He and the three families come up with something else to make the stock price plummet in the future Then we would be dragged down together. We need to make our move at a suitable time!"
“This is not a good time to seize!” Yao Feiqian frowned. “It’s not a good idea to rely on luck alone. I think it’s better to fight back!”
"Yes, out of these three, the Jiang family is the easiest to deal with. Their power is also the weakest. It wouldn't hurt to use them as a breakthrough point!"
The situation is dire, even Chen Zhi, who usually stays in the lab, has come out. It's obvious he left in a rush; he's still dishevelled with messy hair and clothes sitting there unkemptly. His puffy eyes show signs of exhaustion after pulling an all-nighter.
"The Jiang family must not be moved!"
But Rong Ling came over with a low voice and said this.
"Why!" Several brothers looked at him in bewilderment.
Rong Ling did not elaborate further, only reiterating his refusal with unwavering firmness.
"The Jiang family cannot be moved. If you want to make a move, find the Liu family and the He family!"
A few brothers became suspicious, looking at Rong Ling with curiosity in their eyes.
Lin Meng was restless on the side.
Others don't know, but she's very clear: Rong Ling said this all for her.
This man, he is steadfastly fulfilling his promise. She should be happy, but now she is very sad, incredibly sad.
"The He and Liu families are not easy to deal with," Yao Feiqian said, his voice tight. "One works in a central government department, as a minister, and all their relatives are like the roots of a tree, spreading everywhere, pulling everything together; you can't touch him at all. The other Liu family is the same. They have many descendants in the military, both direct and collateral lines. Moreover, military affairs are always the hardest to interfere with. Local officials can't control the army. It's even harder to deal with than the He family. But the Jiang family is different. Their relatives are few, their wings are not full. We brothers just need to find some people and put in some effort, and it would be very easy to bring him down. Why not target the Jiang family You know..."
"That's enough!" Rong Ling cut her off with a cold face. "In short, the Jiang family can't be touched. We'll figure out the rest later."
Yao Feiqian's face fell, and he muttered under his breath.
"Big brother, you're acting strange."
"Is there anything I missed!" Chen Zhi also asked.
The next second, the two of them were each struck by Yu Xu's palm.
"So much nonsense, just listen to big brother!"
Yao Feiqian and Chen Zhi fell silent. However, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy and stiff because of this.
Lin Meng sat there, feeling deeply uncomfortable. She felt that if she stayed any longer, she would be swallowed whole by an invisible beast.
Suddenly, she stood up.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to her, as if in that very moment they had glimpsed the wickedness of her heart.
Her eyes, they ached.
Because, Shuangmu is not just Shuangmu for Rong Ling alone. It belongs to everyone, to Shi Yu, to Xiao Xiang, to Yu Xu, to Yao Feiqian, to Cui Liu, and Chen Zhi. Jiang Chengfeng wants to deal with Rong Ling, Rong Ling avoids confrontation, but in the end, it's Rong Ling's good brothers who suffer. How guilty Rong Ling must feel towards these brothers!
She couldn't imagine it!
She wasn't the sole founder of Shuangmu, but even just thinking about it made her feel unbearable pain and anguish. Then, what kind of agonizing feelings must Rong Ling, who raised Shuangmu with his own hands, be experiencing!
Gritting her teeth, she resisted the urge to bite her lip or clench her fists. She lowered her eyes and murmured softly.
"You guys talk first, I'll go make dinner in the kitchen. Let's have it here tonight."
After finishing her words, she fled the study in a hurry.
What exactly did she do What should she do next Her heart was in turmoil once again! She also felt lost and questioned the way to repay her kindness.
Inside, six men of vastly different characters remained either standing or seated, still as silent as ever. The atmosphere seemed as taut and charged as it was before a battle. This state of affairs persisted for about three minutes. Finally, Xiao stood up, pacing towards the door before leaning against the frame, just as he usually liked to do.
Then, he slightly turned his face inward and nodded lightly.
Then there was a "poof" sound, and Yao Feiqian burst into laughter, unable to contain himself. Afraid his laughter would be too loud, he tried to hold back, but finally couldn't resist it, so he covered his mouth with his hand. This sneaky look of his immediately earned him a kick from Yu Xu, as well as daggers from Rong Ling and Shi Yu.
Chen Zhi still acted reserved, merely smiling faintly. In reality, he was on the verge of bursting out laughing inside.
Even though Yao Feiqian got beaten up, he didn't stop smiling. In fact, he kept laughing while opening his mouth.
"Hee hee… Mengmeng, that little rascal, is amazing… Haha… Hee hee…"
Yu Xu kicked him again, signaling him to be quiet. Didn't he see that the Big Brother's expression was wrong He just continued talking nonchalantly. “Heh heh... it seems I am quite talented in acting, though Xiaomei just now looked a bit pitiful…Big Brother…”
He smiled and raised his head, looking at Rong Ling. Seeing Rong Ling's dark face and icy expression, he realized something was wrong and immediately stopped smiling, shrinking his neck.
Rong Ling coldly raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"Come on, why aren't you talking anymore!"
Yao Feiqian muttered.
"This... uh..."
He huffed and puffed for a while before smiling obsequiously and fawning, "Big brother is wise!"
The result was, unsurprisingly, another withering glare from Rong Ling. Luckily, it wasn't a physical attack this time. He suddenly realized that he had been laughing so boisterously just now in front of his brother's wife. Considering how his brother treated Xiaomeng'er, there was no way he would tolerate someone laughing at her behind his back. He seemed to have narrowly escaped death!
He felt the cold and wisely clamped his mouth shut.
"From now on, call her sister-in-law. What's with the nickname 'Xiao Meng'!"
That's all he can call!
Rong Ling looked at Yao Feiqian coldly.
Yao Feiqian thought to himself, "What bad luck!" He immediately nodded repeatedly, pretending he didn't hear her, unwilling to respond formally. Anyway, he would never call her sister-in-law. The other brothers didn't either; they simply called her Mengmeng or sometimes Little Sister-in-law. Why should he be the odd one out and make himself seem like an outsider
No, that can't be done!
But now is not the time for theory, he just brushed it aside for now.
Rong Ling didn't investigate further, only issuing another warning.
"Keep your mouth shut. If you dare to betray me, this brother is done for. I'll have Xiaobai take your place!"
Yao Feiqian became increasingly reluctant to speak. He thought to himself, "It seems that Mengmeng truly is the big brother's Achilles' heel. Well, all he did was smile, and the big brother just keeps hitting him again and again!" He had just helped his big brother act a while ago!
It's really not cute at all. Dream is still the best and cutest!
>>>Yao Feiqian muttered to himself, and when he came to his senses, he was startled. He had actually used the word "cute" to describe his eldest brother. Today, he was truly muddled.Isn't this asking for their family's demise!Rong Qikeng naturally spoke soothing words, using his eloquence to hint that he would surely make amends for what He's family had lost and that there would...
