Underneath the villa lay an underground plaza, its grim atmosphere heavy and oppressive. Looking at the transformed members of the Tian Group, Xiao Yufan nodded in satisfaction. These people would become a sharp blade for him in his battles across the business world and the underworld.
“Tianyi, have the spies I assigned you to place within the northern underworld factions already been positioned? I don’t want any mistakes in this matter!”
Xiao Yufan’s gaze swept slowly across each person, a faint smile curling his lips. His grandfather handing over the Tian Group to him meant silent approval of his actions. In that case, how could he not make full use of these resources?
“Don’t worry, Young Master. Everything has already been arranged. Whether it’s Glory Enterprises or the Anmen organization expanding into the north, resistance will be minimized!”
“Excellent…”
His smile deepened, and anticipation gleamed in his eyes. Expanding across the entire East would pose great challenges for both Glory and Anmen, but these would become stepping stones on his path to ultimate power.
“Shouldn’t we send some Anmen members to confront the northern underworld forces?”
Although they had placed spies within the northern factions, Anmen’s expansion into the north would inevitably provoke strong resistance. No one wanted a wolf from the capital to dominate the north.
“The situation in the north remains unclear. It’s better for Anmen to avoid rash actions for now. As long as local criminal forces don’t strike first after our arrival, we should avoid direct conflict…”
Shaking his head, Xiao Yufan knew that while the Situ family could protect him well in the capital, their influence in the north would be minimal. Therefore, every step he took needed to be carefully considered.
“I understand. Anmen’s movements will be restrained. We won’t provoke conflict with northern underworld forces unless absolutely necessary.”
Tianyi understood Xiao Yufan’s intentions. Even though Anmen was a powerful force in the capital, in northern territories they must remain like a hidden dragon. Otherwise, their northern expansion would bring endless troubles.
“Anmen doesn’t have much room to maneuver in the capital, but the situation is different in the chaotic north. Only through patience and restraint can we go further.”
The Situ family’s influence in the north was certainly formidable. Situ Wenchang, one of the three young northern warlords, had already begun moving. If Glory Enterprises expanded northward, it would undoubtedly stir up a storm of conflict.
Xiao Yufan had complete confidence in Tianyi’s abilities. After all, Anmen’s development carried half of his efforts. This northern campaign was being orchestrated primarily by Tianyi, with even Long Tian’s assistance proving no small undertaking.
After finalizing Anmen’s arrangements, Xiao Yufan returned to Glory Enterprises. The company had now reached its true peak, its brilliant halo completely overshadowing the former Capital Club. Glory had become a symbol.
Every Glory employee could clearly sense the company undergoing continuous transformation. Now, the horn signaling their northern expansion had sounded, and everyone understood this would be a significant turning point for Glory.
“I believe you all understand the importance of this northern campaign, so I won’t elaborate further. Just tell me—do you have confidence!”
Beneath the villa, the underground square exuded a solemn and oppressive atmosphere. Xiao Yufan nodded with satisfaction as he observed the transformed members of the Tian Group. These individuals would become his sharp blade in the battles of the business world and the underground forces.
“Tian Yi, have the informants I asked you to place among the major northern underworld factions been deployed? I don’t want any mistakes in this operation!”
Xiao Yufan’s gaze swept over each person, a faint smile playing on his lips. His grandfather had handed the Tian Group over to him, tacitly approving his current actions. With such resources at his disposal, how could he not make the most of them?
“Rest assured, Young Master, everything has been arranged. Whether it’s Brilliant Enterprises or the Dark Gate entering the north, the obstacles will be minimized.”
“Excellent…”
The smile on Xiao Yufan’s face deepened, and a glimmer of anticipation shone in his eyes. Entering the vast stage of the entire eastern region would pose significant challenges for both Brilliant Enterprises and the Dark Gate. Yet, these challenges would serve as stepping stones on his path to the pinnacle.
“Should we send some of our Dark Gate brothers to test the waters with the northern underworld factions?”
Although informants had been placed among the major northern underworld factions, the Dark Gate would still face significant resistance if they ventured north. No one wanted this wolf from the capital to dominate the northern territories.
“The situation in the north is still unclear. It’s best for the Dark Gate not to act rashly. As long as the local underworld factions don’t strike first after we enter the north, we’ll avoid conflict for now…”
Xiao Yufan shook his head. He knew that while the Situ family in the capital could offer him strong protection, their influence in the north would be minimal. Every step had to be taken with caution.
“I understand. The Dark Gate’s actions will be restrained. We won’t clash with the northern underworld factions unless absolutely necessary…”
Tian Yi understood Xiao Yufan’s strategy. Even though the Dark Gate was a powerful force in the capital, they would have to tread carefully in the north. Otherwise, their entry would invite endless trouble.
“The Dark Gate hasn’t had many opportunities to flex its muscles in the capital, but the chaotic north is a different story. Only through patience can we go further…”
The Situ family’s operations in the north were formidable. Situ Wenchang, one of the three young masters of the north, had already made his move. If Brilliant Enterprises entered the north, it would undoubtedly stir up a storm of conflict.
Xiao Yufan had full confidence in Tian Yi’s abilities. Half of the Dark Gate’s development was due to Tian Yi’s efforts, and this northern expansion was largely his doing. Although Long Tian assisted, it was by no means an easy task.
After arranging matters for the Dark Gate, Xiao Yufan returned to Brilliant Enterprises. The company had now reached its true peak, its radiant halo overshadowing the once-prominent Capital Club. Brilliant had become a symbol.
Every member of Brilliant could clearly sense that the company was undergoing a series of transformations. This time, the horn for the northern expansion had been sounded. Everyone knew this was a significant turning point for Brilliant.
“I believe you all understand the importance of this northern expansion. I won’t say much more. Just tell me if you have the confidence!”
Facing the true upper echelons of the company, Xiao Yufan’s voice carried an unparalleled magnetism, stirring the emotions of everyone present.
“Yes…” The unified response was solemn, yet an undeniable excitement spread among the crowd. Whether it was the passionate young managers or the experienced veterans, everyone felt their blood boiling at that moment.
Compared to six months ago, Brilliant had undergone a dramatic transformation. Youth and vitality continuously radiated new energy in this legendary place. Xiao Yufan felt a sense of relief that his grandfather had not abandoned this venture.
The brief meeting concluded quickly. Yu Yihan, Qing Luan, and others stayed behind. There was still much to be done for Brilliant’s northern expansion, and the specific arrangements would be left to them.
“Brother Teng, have you found the location I asked you to scout earlier?”
“It was settled half a month ago. Brilliant’s headquarters remain in the capital, but the largest branch has been established in Linjiang. Lin Pingle was transferred there recently, and it should be operating smoothly by now. If you weren’t planning to go personally, it wouldn’t have been necessary to go through all this trouble!”
After Tengfan Enterprises merged with Brilliant, Ma Teng’s position within the company had risen steadily. His capabilities were recognized by all, so Xiao Yufan felt confident entrusting such matters to him.
“That’s good. It’s not that I doubt Pingle’s abilities, but the northern stage is more suitable for Brilliant than the capital. To be cautious, I’ll have to make the trip myself. Eventually, the entire north will become Brilliant’s stronghold…”
Xiao Yufan responded with a smile, offering no further explanation. Brilliant’s northern expansion was about broadening their platform, so he had to leave the capital temporarily.
Yu Yihan and Qing Luan watched the serious Xiao Yufan, their lips curving into warm smiles. Though this man sometimes appeared carefree, when he was focused, he exuded an extraordinary aura.
“Are you… leaving the capital for a while?”
Qing Luan’s fingers played with her long hair, loosely tied with a purple ribbon. Her gaze was distant. Among the women, she had spent the least time with Xiao Yufan, and their journey had been fraught with challenges. If he left, she would feel even more reluctant.
“Linjiang is close to the capital, just a few hours away. I can return anytime I want. Once Reincarnation Film Company is on track, you can all come over as well…”
Xiao Yufan gently pulled her delicate frame into his arms, his gaze tender. He was well aware of the women’s concerns, but with Brilliant’s northern expansion still uncertain, he preferred they stay in the capital.
“Reincarnation is already on track and doesn’t require too many people to stay here. If you’re going to Linjiang alone, we’ll worry. Let Qing Luan go with you, and take Lan Yue and Tian Xuan as well…”
Yu Yihan finally spoke. On one hand, she was genuinely concerned that Xiao Yufan might struggle without them in the capital, so she wanted Qing Luan and the others to take care of him. On the other hand, if he were alone, he might act without restraint, and she didn’t want to suddenly gain a few more sisters…
The underground plaza beneath the villa was enveloped in a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Xiao Yufan nodded with satisfaction as he observed the transformed members of the Tian Group. These individuals would become his sharp blade in the battles of both the business world and the underground forces…
“Tian Yi, have the informants I asked you to place among the major northern underworld factions been positioned? I don’t want any mistakes in this operation!”
Xiao Yufan’s gaze swept over each person present, a faint smile playing on his lips. His grandfather had handed the Tian Group over to him, tacitly approving his current actions. With such resources at his disposal, how could he not make the most of them?
“Rest assured, Young Master, everything has been arranged. Whether it’s Brilliance Enterprises or the Dark Gate entering the north, the obstacles will be minimized.”
“Good…”
The smile on Xiao Yufan’s face deepened, and a glimmer of anticipation shone in his eyes. Entering the vast stage of the entire eastern region would pose significant challenges for both Brilliance and the Dark Gate. Yet, these challenges would become stepping stones on his path to the pinnacle…
“Should we send some of the Dark Gate’s brothers to test the waters with the northern underworld factions?”
Although informants had been placed among the major northern underworld factions, the Dark Gate’s entry into the north would likely face strong resistance. No one wanted this wolf from the capital to dominate the north.
“The situation in the north is still unclear. It’s best for the Dark Gate not to act rashly. As long as the local underworld factions don’t strike first after we enter, we’ll avoid conflict for now…”
Xiao Yufan shook his head. He knew that while the Situ family in the capital could offer him strong protection, their influence in the north would be minimal. Every step had to be taken with caution.
“I understand. The Dark Gate’s actions will be restrained, and we’ll avoid conflict with the northern underworld factions unless absolutely necessary…”
Tian Yi understood Xiao Yufan’s strategy. Even though the Dark Gate was a powerful force in the capital, in the north, they would need to lay low. Otherwise, their entry would invite endless trouble.
“The Dark Gate hasn’t had many opportunities to act in the capital, but the chaotic north is a different story. Only through patience can we go further…”
The Situ family’s operations in the north were formidable. Situ Wenchang, one of the three young masters of the north, had already made his move. If Brilliance entered the north, it would undoubtedly stir up a storm of conflict…
Xiao Yufan had full confidence in Tian Yi’s abilities. Half of the Dark Gate’s development was due to his efforts, and this northern expansion was largely his doing. Even with Long Tian’s assistance, it was no easy task.
After arranging matters for the Dark Gate, Xiao Yufan returned to Brilliance Enterprises. Brilliance had now reached its true peak, its dazzling halo overshadowing the former capital club. It had become a symbol of success.
Everyone at Brilliance could clearly feel that the company was undergoing a series of transformations. This time, the call to enter the north had been sounded, and everyone knew this was a major turning point for Brilliance…
“I believe you all understand the importance of this northern expansion. I won’t say much more. Just tell me if you have the confidence!”
Facing the true upper echelons of the company, Xiao Yufan’s voice carried an unparalleled magnetism, stirring the emotions of everyone present.
“Yes…” The unified response was solemn, yet an undeniable excitement spread among them. Whether it was the passionate young managers or the experienced veterans, they all felt their blood boiling at this moment.
Compared to half a year ago, Brilliance had undergone a dramatic transformation. Youth and vitality continuously radiated new energy in this legendary place. Xiao Yufan felt a sense of relief that his grandfather had not abandoned it…
The brief meeting concluded quickly, and Yu Yihan, Qing Luan, and others stayed behind. There was still much to do for Brilliance’s northern expansion, and the specific arrangements would be left to them…
“Brother Teng, have you found the locations I asked you to scout earlier?”
“It was all arranged half a month ago. Brilliance’s headquarters is in the capital, and its largest branch is in Linjiang. Lin Pingle was transferred there a while ago, and I believe it’s now fully operational. If you hadn’t insisted on going yourself, it wouldn’t have been so complicated!”
After Tengfan Enterprises merged with Brilliance, Ma Teng’s position had risen steadily within the company. His capabilities had earned everyone’s recognition, so Xiao Yufan felt confident entrusting such matters to him.
“That’s good. It’s not that I doubt Pingle’s abilities, but the northern stage is more suitable for Brilliance than the capital. To be safe, I need to go myself. Eventually, the entire north will become Brilliance’s stronghold…”
Xiao Yufan responded with a smile, offering no further explanation. Brilliance’s entry into the north was about expanding to a larger platform, so he had to leave the capital temporarily…
Yu Yihan and Qing Luan watched the serious Xiao Yufan, their lips curving into warm smiles. Though he sometimes seemed carefree, when he was focused, he exuded an extraordinary aura.
“Are you… leaving the capital for a while?”
Qing Luan’s delicate fingers played with the purple ribbon that loosely bound her long hair. Her gaze was distant. Among the women, she had spent the least time with Xiao Yufan, and their relationship had been fraught with challenges. If he left, she would feel even more reluctant.
“Linjiang is close to the capital, just a few hours away. I can return anytime I want. Once Reincarnation Film Company is on track, you can all come over too…”
Xiao Yufan gently pulled her soft, delicate body into his arms, his gaze tender. He was well aware of the feelings of these women. However, with Brilliance’s northern expansion still uncertain, he hoped they would stay in the capital for now.
“Reincarnation is now on track, so not many people need to stay here. If you’re going to Linjiang alone, we’re worried. Let Qing Luan go with you, and take Lan Yue and Tian Xuan as well…”
Yu Yihan finally spoke up. On one hand, she was genuinely concerned that Xiao Yufan might feel out of place leaving the capital and wanted Qing Luan and the others to look after him. On the other hand, if he were alone, he might act without restraint, and she didn’t want to suddenly gain more sisters…
Compared to six months ago, Glory had undergone earthshaking changes. Youth and vitality continuously radiated fresh energy in this legendary place. Xiao Yufan felt fortunate that his grandfather hadn’t abandoned this enterprise…
The brief meeting concluded quickly, with Yu Yihan and Qing Luan staying behind. Many preparations still needed to be made for Glory’s northern expansion, and specific arrangements would be handled by them.
“Teng Ge, did you find the location I asked you to scout earlier?”
“It’s already been settled half a month ago. Glory’s headquarters remains in the capital, but our largest branch has been established in Linjiang. Not long ago, Lin Pingyue was transferred there. I believe operations should be running smoothly by now. If you didn’t insist on personally visiting, it really wouldn’t have been so complicated!”
After Tengfan Enterprise was merged into Glory, Ma Teng’s position within the company had risen steadily. His abilities had gained universal recognition, so Xiao Yufan felt confident entrusting such matters to him.
“Good. It’s not that I doubt Pingyue’s capabilities, but the northern stage better suits Glory’s development. For safety’s sake, I still need to go personally. Eventually, the entire north will become Glory’s main base.”
Xiao Yufan replied with a smile, offering no further explanation. Expanding Glory northward meant stepping onto a broader platform, so he must temporarily leave the capital.
Yu Yihan and Qing Luan watched the serious Xiao Yufan, their lips curving into warm smiles. Though this man sometimes appeared unrestrained and wild, when he became serious, he always exuded a unique aura.
“You’re leaving the capital temporarily then…”
Her delicate hand playing with strands of black hair loosely tied by a purple ribbon, Qing Luan’s gaze wavered slightly. Among all the women, she had spent the least time with Xiao Yufan, and their relationship had been filled with hardships. If he left, she would miss him even more.
“Linjiang isn’t far from the capital—just a few hours’ travel at most. I can return anytime I want. Once the Reincarnation Film Company becomes stable, you can all come north too…”
Xiao Yufan casually pulled her soft, supple figure into his arms, his gaze unusually gentle. How could he not understand these women’s feelings? However, since many matters regarding Glory’s northern expansion remained uncertain, he preferred his women remain in the capital for now.
“Reincarnation has already stabilized, so it doesn’t require many people to stay behind. If you go to Linjiang alone, we’ll worry. Let Qing Luan accompany you, and bring Lan Yue and Tian Xuan along too…”
Yu Yihan finally spoke. Partly, she genuinely worried Xiao Yufan might struggle adjusting to life outside the capital and wanted Qing Luan and others to take care of him. Partly, if this guy had no one watching him, he’d surely indulge without restraint. She certainly didn’t want to gain several more sisters unexpectedly…
