In the end, Lan Tianyuan still chose to compromise. Looking at Xiao Yufan’s triumphant smile, he appeared somewhat powerless. Lingyun’s current situation could no longer afford delays, and leaving the Beijing Club was only a matter of time.
The news of Lingyun Enterprise’s departure from the Beijing Club stirred another storm in the business world. After all, Lan Tianyuan was the vice president of the Beijing Club; everyone clearly understood what his departure implied…
At this moment, an unusual atmosphere surrounded the Beijing Club. Many people dared not even breathe heavily. Sitting in the main positions within the conference room were two individuals: aside from Qing Yuanfeng, the other was a figure revered like a prince within the Beijing Club.
“Can someone tell me why Tianyuan suddenly left the Beijing Club without any warning…”
His expression was extremely grim. Although the Beijing Club controlled nearly half of Beijing’s economy, its greatest strength lay in Lingyun and Fengyun Enterprises. Lingyun’s sudden withdrawal dealt a significant blow to the club.
“Perhaps Tianxuan wants to carve out a broader horizon for himself. His aspirations aren’t unknown to the president. When one’s strength grows, one realizes that so-called protection is merely an invisible restraint…”
Perhaps the only person not silenced by fear in the room was Qing Yuanfeng. As a legendary figure of Fengyun Enterprise, his status within the Beijing Club was no less than that of the president himself.
“Could it be that Brother Yuanfeng might also leave the club…”
As if catching the hidden meaning in Qing Yuanfeng’s words, the man’s lips curled into a smile, yet this smile felt strangely eerie, enough to send a chill down even Qing Yuanfeng’s spine.
“As long as the Beijing Club can still provide Fengyun with a better platform, I won’t be foolish enough to leave. I believe Brother Dongfang won’t disappoint me either, right…”
His emotions fluctuated slightly but quickly returned to calm. At the time Lingyun left the Beijing Club, Qing Yuanfeng had also considered leaving the organization more than once, but ultimately chose to stay.
“Dongfang Haoran naturally won’t disappoint my brothers, however, if one day I discover someone betraying me, I will show absolutely no mercy!”
His eyes swept coldly around the room, a sharp gleam flashing in his gaze. The strength required to build the Beijing Club from scratch was anything but simple. Arrogant and self-assured, Dongfang Haoran would not tolerate any betrayal.
Qing Yuanfeng’s lips twitched slightly. He knew Dongfang Haoran was warning him, but he could do nothing about it…
Although few in Beijing might know Dongfang Haoran as the true master of the Beijing Club, Qing Yuanfeng was well aware of his power. Before that ancient Dongfang family, the Qing family didn’t even have the slightest standing to compare.
This crown prince of the northern underworld could destroy the Qing family with a mere gesture. Therefore, even if he had thoughts of leaving the Beijing Club, he still had to consider the entire Qing family. Unlike Lan Tianyuan, he had far more concerns to weigh.
“Now that Tianyuan has chosen to leave, from this day forth, there will be no such person within the Beijing Club. Terminate all contracts between the club and Lingyun Enterprise. I’d like to see what courage he draws from…”
With a cold snort, Dongfang Haoran turned and left the meeting room. Clearly, he was furious now. If Lingyun could simply leave and return at will, where would the dignity of the Beijing Club stand?
There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests—an eternal truth in the business world. If Qing Yuanfeng hadn’t miscalculated, Dongfang Haoran was about to strike against Lingyun Enterprise, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of sorrow…
Though not quite at the stage where a hunting dog is discarded after the prey is caught, with the Beijing Club now targeting Lingyun, one day they might similarly target Fengyun. It was simply that Dongfang Haoran had no intention of moving against Fengyun just yet.
…
No news emerged from the Beijing Club, yet Xiao Yufan was fully aware that without Lingyun, they must have been in chaos. For this situation, he couldn’t help but feel it was a favorable development.
“Have you made your decision? Now that you’ve left the Beijing Club, are you ready to establish a partnership with my Huishan Enterprise? I don’t mind taking you under my wing…”
“You intend for Lingyun to become a subsidiary of Huishan, don’t you? I’m starting to question whether my choice was right. If the Beijing Club is a fierce tiger, then your Huishan Enterprise is no less than a mighty lion.”
In the vast open field, watching the enigmatic man before him, Lan Tianyuan’s smile widened. Although he didn’t know how Xiao Yufan had managed it, within just a single day, he had indeed witnessed significant improvements in Lingyun Enterprise.
This, naturally, was good news. Lingyun was his creation, and he naturally wished it no harm. As for the path Lingyun would take in the future, that remained uncertain…
“My intention has always been to help Lanyue. I’ve said this many times. Since you don’t believe me, there’s little I can do. But as you can see, Lingyun will definitely overcome its slump. Won’t you consider your future carefully?”
“I’m not like you, with lofty ambitions. This departure from the Beijing Club was simply to provide Lingyun a peaceful environment, so it wouldn’t end up serving as someone else’s stepping stone. Of course, there’s another more important reason—I don’t want my sister to be hurt!”
Fixing his gaze on Xiao Yufan, Lan Tianyuan’s eyes carried an indescribable nuance. How could he not understand Lanyue’s feelings…
“You should know, I have more than one woman by my side. How could I possibly have intentions toward Yue’er? I only see her as a younger sister!”
“Just a younger sister?”
Lan Tianyuan smirked slightly, shaking his head at Xiao Yufan’s evasive expression. Matters of fate couldn’t be easily explained in mere words. As close as he was to Lanyue, he still couldn’t meddle in such affairs.
“If you agree to be my younger brother, then naturally Lanyue will be my younger sister. I can’t possibly be that beastly…”
“You want me to be your younger brother? Then do one thing first!” Standing up, Lan Tianyuan didn’t even glance at Xiao Yufan’s profile as he spoke.
“What thing…”
“Dream on… Oh, by the way, no matter how you handle Lanyue’s feelings, if you ever hurt her, I will destroy your entire Huishan Enterprise to make you pay the ultimate price. You’d better believe me.”
Internally delighted, Lan Tianyuan gave a thumbs-down behind his back as he turned to leave. Clearly, in his heart, Lanyue’s importance surpassed even the entire Lingyun Enterprise…
