Long Yuan's aura was terrifyingly heavy, radiating a chill that made Chairman Yu and Zheng Zegang shudder involuntarily. Neither of them dared to look at Long Yuan's face.
If looks could kill, the venue would probably already be littered with corpses.
Young Master Long, please calm down. Once we drive Starlight Entertainment into bankruptcy, that little girl will be crying. You can humiliate her however you want then!
Long Yuan said coldly, Remember, starting today, make sure Starlight Entertainment does not get a single resource. Starlight Entertainment must go bankrupt within three months!
Bringing down Starlight Entertainment was just the first step. The next target was the Jiang family's core enterprise, Jiang Medical.
He was going to make the entire Jiang family completely fall from grace in the capital circle!
When Secretary Yang saw Jiang Youli, she had originally wanted to stand up and greet her.
But upon seeing Jiang Youli make a throat-slitting gesture, she froze.
Realizing that Jiang Youli was openly provoking Long Yuan, she stiffened completely, her voice turning mechanical and emotionless.
We are so doomed. Our new President Jiang is way too arrogant.
Beside her, Luo Yutong asked curiously, What is wrong, Secretary Yang?
Secretary Yang sighed. Did you not see what President Jiang was just doing? She actually provoked Young Master Long in broad daylight. She really thinks our company is not collapsing fast enough.
Luo Yutong remembered that her own rescue was entirely due to Jiang Youli's bold nature, so she said, But... since Miss Jiang has already offended Long Yuan, choosing to swallow her pride would not do any good anyway.
That might be true, but she should not be adding fuel to the fire, Secretary Yang said helplessly. Unless it is exactly as President Jiang herself claimed, that she really is Li Li Yuan Shang, otherwise I truly cannot fathom how our Starlight Entertainment is going to secure the copyright for Ambition of the Blue Clouds at today's meeting.
Luo Yutong was surprised. Secretary Yang, what did you just say? President Jiang said she is Li Li Yuan Shang?
Secretary Yang nodded. Yes, do you believe it? Because I certainly...
Before she could finish the words do not believe it, she heard Luo Yutong nodding heavily and joyfully exclaiming, I believe it!
Secretary Yang was speechless.
Luo Yutong muttered excitedly, So that is it! No wonder Miss Jiang was so confident about securing the copyright for Ambition of the Blue Clouds. I never imagined that the great author I adore is actually my admired savior, Miss Jiang...
Secretary Yang had a complicated expression. Wait, she actually believed it?
Luo Yutong's unwavering conviction made Secretary Yang start to doubt herself.
Could it be that President Jiang really is Li Li Yuan Shang?!
At this thought, Secretary Yang looked over at Jiang Youli again.
Jiang Youli ignored Long Yuan's murderous glare, withdrew her gaze, and went up to the second floor, heading toward the Ruyi private room where Qi Huan was waiting.
Seeing Jiang Youli coming upstairs, Duan Jinghan ran out of his own private room.
He was running too fast down the corridor and, without paying attention, crashed right into Qi An'an, who was turning around from the Auspicious Ruyi private room.
Ouch! Qi An'an fell to the floor and let out a loud cry.
Duan Jinghan ignored Qi An'an and was about to walk away.
But before he could even take a step, someone grabbed the hem of his shirt.
What are you doing!
What am I doing? You knocked someone down and just want to walk away? Have you no shame!
You just want compensation, right? Here! Duan Jinghan pulled his wallet out of his pocket. Opening it, he found that aside from a photo of Jiang Youli, there were only a few coins. He did not have a single red banknote on him.
Duan Jinghan was speechless.
How awkward.
Qi An'an had already stood up and patted her pants. Seeing his action of digging into his wallet, she mocked, You do not even have a single banknote, yet you want to act like those who use money to humiliate people. Have you no shame?
Duan Jinghan flushed red. Do not talk nonsense. I am the young master of the Duan family. I have plenty of money, I just do not have any cash right now! I will transfer it to you later!
Do not wait for later, give it to me right now. And you have to take me to the hospital for a CT scan!
You are crazy! I just bumped into you a little bit, and you want a CT scan!
Of course I do! My body is precious, even a little injury is very serious!
Duan Jinghan did not want to stay entangled with her, so he walked back to his private room and snapped at Duan Shuheng, Give me ten thousand!
Duan Shuheng was tasting a dessert. Hearing this, she turned and asked her best friend, Do you think my idiot brother has the attitude of someone asking for a favor?
The best friend shook her head. He sounds like a boss giving orders.
Duan Shuheng shrugged. Not giving it.
Duan Jinghan gritted his teeth. Duan Shuheng!
Duan Shuheng put down her spoon, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and said, Do not yell at me. Who was the one begging me to bring him out? Keep throwing a tantrum, and I will call Dad right now.
Duan Jinghan was speechless.
While he was being held up by Qi An'an, Jiang Youli had already come upstairs.
Duan Jinghan wanted to go over, but Qi An'an blocked his path by spreading her arms in the middle of the corridor, so he could only shout at her, Jiang Youli!
Jiang Youli glanced at Duan Jinghan, ignored him, and walked straight into the Auspicious Ruyi private room.
After sitting down, she picked up the teacup Qi Huan pushed toward her and downed it in one gulp.
What is wrong? You looked like you wanted to murder Long Yuan just now. Seeing her finish the tea in one gulp, Qi Huan lifted the teapot and poured her another cup.
Jiang Youli tapped her finger against the teacup. I really do want to kill a scumbag like Long Yuan.
Although Ye Ying had investigated some of the Long family's shady secrets, most of those businesses had already been cleared out by the Long family, so they did not constitute concrete evidence.
Leaking that information would affect the Long family, but it would not be fatal.
The few things that could strike a real blow to the Long family had already been released by Qi Huan, sending the Second Master of the Long family to jail.
Therefore, to truly bring down the Long family and force Long Yuan into a dead end, she needed to obtain ready-made evidence.
Although he did not know why she was suddenly so angry, Qi Huan had no objections. He smiled warmly and said, Go ahead and hack at him. If you do not finish him off, I will help you deliver the final blow.
Jiang Youli turned her head slightly, her clear, water-like eyes gazing at Qi Huan. Her expression was earnest and resolute. Yes, this time I am determined to get serious. I must completely uproot the Long family so they can never turn things around again. This will probably implicate a large number of people, and even your Qi family might face pressure from all sides because of it.
Hearing Jiang Youli's words, Qi Huan showed not the slightest hint of panic or hesitation. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, forming an unhurried smile, as if everything was perfectly under control.
Bringing down the Long family does carry some risks, but it is not a big problem. No matter what difficulties and obstacles we face, I will always stand by your side to support and protect you. You just go ahead and do what you need to do without any worries. Just remember to come home at night after we get married.
Hearing Qi Huan's last sentence, Jiang Youli could not help but smile and teased, We are not even married yet, and you are already worrying about sleeping in an empty bed.
Qi Huan shifted his gaze out the window of the private room, feigning helplessness. With a rival in love so persistently waiting for you at the door, how can I not worry?
Outside the door, the argument between Duan Jinghan and Qi An'an was still going on.
Jiang Youli had not expected that after she broke up with Duan Jinghan, he would hold on to her for so long without giving up, just like how he had relentlessly pursued her through wind and rain back then.
But so what?
She absolutely would not accept someone testing her feelings.
Once a person tests the waters, it will happen countless times, leading only to endless suspicion.
What she wanted was unconditional trust; only then could she feel secure enough to entrust her back to her partner.
Jiang Youli smiled and promised, "Don't worry, I never go back to an ex. That applies to you too, Huanhuan. If you ever bring up breaking up or calling off the engagement in the future, even in a fit of anger, I absolutely won't allow it."
A resolute light sparkled in Qi Huan's beautiful eyes as she replied, "Little Li, I'm not that foolish. Even if I can't keep you firmly locked by my side, I would never push you away."
"Good. Alright, time to get down to business," Jiang Youli said, pulling out her phone and dialing Sister Lan's number. "Sister Lan, let's begin."
