61: Chapter 61 Betting on Liu Yanran
"Young Master, every industry under Tianlong Group is being targeted."
"Many clients have unilaterally torn up their contracts, and some local factions have even seized our shipments, claiming our product quality is substandard."
"Especially in the capital; our people there have, to varying degrees, been arrested on all sorts of pretexts."
Early in the morning, Liu Yanran rushed to find Chu Yuan to inform him of the current predicament facing Tianlong Group.
Although Tianlong Group is a behemoth throughout the Demon Capital and is backed by the Chu family, allowing it to stand firm, even the best in the world cannot fight four hands with two fists.
A mighty dragon cannot suppress the local serpent; in other regions, people are determined to target us.
The current situation is that, aside from the areas around the Demon Capital, Tianlong Group is being targeted to varying degrees across the rest of the Dragon Kingdom, with our forces in the capital almost being completely wiped out.
Without needing to think much, Chu Yuan had already guessed that this was certainly the work of the Shen Family.
Chu Yuan had only encountered three Protagonists so far.
Lin Tianyang had already become one with the green hills and clear waters.
As for Zhang Yang, it wasn't that Chu Yuan looked down on him.
Although Zhang Yang possessed a System, he was still in his growth phase and simply didn't have the influence or resources to deal with him.
Only Shen Wen, backed by the Shen Family, remained.
He had cuckolded Shen Wen and crippled two of the Shen Family's experts; it would be abnormal if the Shen Family didn't take action.
The Shen Family's influence was simply not on par with the Chu family's. They didn't dare to cause trouble in the Demon Capital and only dared to wage a commercial war against him.
On this point, Chu Yuan was not the least bit afraid of them.
Setting aside the fact that Chu Yuan had no interest in money, even if they were to compare family foundations, the Shen Family wasn't even fit to carry the Chu family's shoes.
A millennium-old aristocratic family is not something to be trifled with.
"Laughing? Now that we are being targeted from all sides, you can actually still laugh?"
"As the Chairman of Tianlong Group, you don't think of ways to solve the problem but instead kick us while we're down. What exactly are you thinking?"
Liu Yanran was furious.
She was here, anxious as if her eyebrows were on fire, but Chu Yuan was fine; not only did he not care, but he was also watching from the sidelines, intentionally trying to anger her.
Chu Yuan, this hands-off boss, had truly dumped everything onto her and completely ceased to care.
"Alright, alright, isn't it just a small bit of trouble? Should I cry instead of laughing?"
The Shen Family's move was indeed a small trouble for Chu Yuan; what he wanted was a much larger layout.
"Small trouble? Do you know what the current situation is? Tianlong Group is being targeted in every industry. It's obvious that someone is making a move against Tianlong Group."
"Although Tianlong Group has a large foundation, one slight mistake could lead to heavy losses, or even cause damage to our very foundations."
Liu Yanran was not as optimistic as Chu Yuan. Since Chu Yuan had handed the entire Tianlong Group over to her, she had to be responsible for it.
Now that Chu Yuan was unwilling to help, Liu Yanran had no choice but to seek countermeasures herself.
"Alright, I know who is targeting Tianlong Group. I have already made arrangements, and it won't take more than half a month to solve the problem perfectly."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yanran looked at Chu Yuan with an expression of disbelief.
Even bragging has its limits. The other party came aggressively; how could this be solved with just a few words?
"What do you mean by that?"
Seeing that look of distrust in her eyes, Chu Yuan was completely speechless.
He was truly too much of a failure.
This little girl actually didn't believe in her own man.
"Since you don't trust this young master, why don't we make a wager? If you follow my instructions, I guarantee that this matter will be completely resolved within half a month."
"This concerns the life and death of the company, and you're using it to make a bet?"
Liu Yanran did not have Chu Yuan's broad-mindedness or ability to let things go. The situation was critical, yet he was still making bets.
"I said it's a trivial matter; it just depends on whether you dare to bet or not."
"Why wouldn't I dare? Anyway, Tianlong Group belongs to you, Young Master Chu. Even if the group collapses, you're the one who will be unlucky."
"Just tell me, how are we betting?" Liu Yanran said angrily.
"It's very simple. If I can't solve the problem within half a month, Tianlong Group will belong to you."
"Conversely, if I solve the trouble, we will practice those new positions I mentioned to you last time, with real engagement for two rounds."
Chu Yuan let out a lecherous laugh.
When they were battling the night before last, he had a sudden inspiration and thought of new techniques.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he pleaded, Liu Yanran refused to cooperate.
It was perfect; he could use this wager to fulfill his wish.
"Chu Yuan, can't you think about proper matters instead of just those filthy things in your head? It's nothing but that all day long."
Liu Yanran was so angry she was huffing and puffing.
She was trying to discuss major company affairs with him, but Chu Yuan was taking the opportunity to scheme, thinking only of these crooked things.
In particular, the new positions Chu Yuan mentioned that night made Liu Yanran shudder.
She didn't know what was inside Chu Yuan's head; it was full of nothing but lecherous thoughts.
"How did the matter of expanding the family line and propagating offspring turn into something filthy in your mouth?"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just tell me, will you bet or not?"
"Why wouldn't I bet? I want to see what ability you have to quickly resolve Tianlong Group's trouble. Let me tell you, if I win, I will dissolve Tianlong Group. Let's see how you explain it to the family then!" Liu Yanran said petulantly.
"Rest assured, you won't win."
"From now on, just listen to my arrangements. If the other party wants to fight a commercial war, then we will accompany them to the end. Just handle everything by the book."
"I will give you 10 billion in funds. I believe that with your ability, accompanying them to play for half a month is more than enough."
Seeing Chu Yuan so confident, Liu Yanran didn't want to say anything more.
With her ability, plus Chu Yuan's funds, dealing with the other party for half a month was absolutely no problem.
Liu Yanran's ability was unquestionable, and Chu Yuan believed she would not disappoint him.
This commercial war was entirely initiated by the Shen Family.
Chu Yuan didn't need to go head-to-head with them and fight to the death.
To kill a snake, one must strike its seven inches. Once the Shen Family is resolved, wouldn't all the problems disappear?
...
The Shen Family, Shen Congwu's study.
At this moment, Shen Congwu was listening to a report from his subordinates.
Upon learning that Tianlong Group was besieged on all sides and fires were starting everywhere due to his maneuvers, Shen Congwu let out a triumphant laugh.
"The Chu family is nothing more than this. What so-called millennium-old aristocratic family? It's just rotten wood, unable to withstand a single blow."
Shen Congwu laughed wantonly.
He had originally thought that with Tianlong Group's financial resources and the Chu family's foundation, the other party would be able to hold on.
Now it seemed that he had only just made his move, and the other party was already tottering.
