Chapter 255: Xingyao Group

Inside a luxury hotel in Jiangnan.

A man dressed in a crisp suit, with a thumb-thick cigar clamped between his teeth, strode majestically into a presidential suite.

"Vice President Qi Chunqing, please, please come in."

Xiao Xinhao wore a fawning expression, bowing as he ushered Vice President Qi Chunqing into the room.

He absolutely dared not offend the man before him!

After Hua Yunfeng's incident yesterday, Yuehua Shipping was left without a leader.

A special commissioner had been urgently parachuted in from above to take charge of the overall situation!

It was said that Vice President Qi Chunqing came from Yuehua Shipping's financial backer, Xingyao Group!

This was the highest-ranking official he had seen since changing jobs.

Vice President Qi Chunqing held a significant position within Xingyao Group; rumor had it he had already become a vice president and was a trusted aide to the boss.

Sending him here was clearly with the intention of cleaning up the mess.

"A bunch of trash!"

As soon as Vice President Qi Chunqing sat down, he couldn't suppress his explosive temper and cursed loudly.

When facing Hua Yunfeng, Xiao Xinhao didn't even dare to breathe too loudly, let alone before a commissioner parachuted in to take over Yuehua Shipping.

He could only listen attentively, while respectfully and politely handing over an ashtray.

Before coming, Vice President Qi Chunqing had already gained a general understanding of the situation.

He hadn't expected that while Hua Yunfeng put on such a good show, in reality, it was a complete mess!

"How did you people manage this?"

"Huh?"

"I have to come here to clean up your mess!"

"You are truly a bunch of useless trash!"

Vice President Qi Chunqing was full of anger and vented it all on Xiao Xinhao.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am trash."

Xiao Xinhao didn't dare to talk back; whatever Vice President Qi Chunqing said, he had to accept.

The strength of Xingyao Group far exceeded everyone at the Jiangnan venue, with businesses spanning many industries.

According to investigations, the market value of Xingyao Group had already reached ten billion!

Yuehua Shipping was merely a part of their investments, not even accounting for one-tenth.

Compared to Xingyao Group, even if the entire Qijinyi Alliance were added together, and even including Asia Shipping, they were all just small fry.

Xingyao Group could truly be called a big fish.

In terms of maritime transport, they might not compare to Asia Shipping, but that wasn't their main source of revenue.

Xingyao Group was a conglomerate with a very wide range of interests.

Vice President Qi Chunqing pointed at Xiao Xinhao's nose and cursed for a full twenty minutes!

Xiao Xinhao was so frightened that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Previously, he had used Yao Manman as a mole to extract intelligence from Qianhe Group, but he hadn't expected it to backfire.

It was precisely because of him that Yuehua Shipping missed out on the platinum princess.

On this matter, Xiao Xinhao was the person primarily responsible.

He hadn't expected that Yao Manman would turn against them and be precisely targeted by Zheng Qian!

However, only Hua Yunfeng knew about this matter; no one else in the company knew.

Even Vice President Qi Chunqing did not know the inside story of this matter.

Xiao Xinhao took the opportunity to push all the responsibility onto Hua Yunfeng.

It had to be said that Zheng Qian sending people to eliminate Hua Yunfeng had actually done him a favor.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing on the side listening to Vice President Qi Chunqing's scolding; the consequences might have been much more severe.

Previously, Hua Yunfeng had wanted to fire him and hold him accountable, but before he could deal with it, he had kicked the bucket.

He could still survive at Yuehua Shipping.

Knock, knock, knock.

A knocking sound rang in his ears.

"Vice President Qi Chunqing, I'll go open the door."

Vice President Qi Chunqing acted as if he hadn't heard him, quickly put down the cigar in his hand, and jogged to open the door.

Xiao Xinhao: ???

What was going on?

After opening the door, Vice President Qi Chunqing changed his expression.

Just a moment ago, he was baring his fangs, wishing he could drag all the Yuehua Shipping executives out to whip them.

After opening the door, his attitude suddenly became very respectful, as if the person knocking outside was some big shot.

"Little Tang, you've arrived."

Vice President Qi Chunqing rubbed his hands with a smile.

After seeing this person, Xiao Xinhao was completely stunned.

"Tang... Tang Xingyu?" Xiao Xinhao's mouth hung open in surprise, and he stood frozen on the spot, dumbfounded.

"Xiao Xinhao? Why are you here too?"

Tang Xingyu was not dressed in his usual trendy style, but in a crisp blue suit, with a gold-stamped LV belt around his waist, and gel in his hair.

Dressed in this business attire, combined with his unique, pampered temperament, Tang Xingyu really looked like a successful young man.

"Little Tang, you two know each other?"

Vice President Qi Chunqing had three wrinkles appear on his forehead, looking left and right.

"Yeah, this is my college classmate."

"So that's how it is, come in first and then we'll talk." Vice President Qi Chunqing smiled, while also glancing at Xiao Xinhao.

He hadn't expected that he had this kind of connection with the young master of Xingyao Group.

Since the age of twenty-five, Vice President Qi Chunqing had followed Tang Xingyu's father, Tang Chuanyan, and helped Tang Chuanyan build an empire.

At least one-fifth of the credit for Xingyao Group belonged to him.

Vice President Qi Chunqing now served as the vice president of Yuehua Shipping; after Hua Yunfeng's incident, he was urgently dispatched to Jiangnan to handle this matter.

He had also called Tang Xingyu to Jiangnan to handle it with him, with the purpose of letting Tang Xingyu learn some business principles from him, so that even if his career path wasn't smooth later, he could return home to take over the business.

Even Tang Xingyu hadn't expected that Xiao Xinhao had jumped ship to Yuehua Shipping, a subsidiary of Xingyao Group.

"Little Tang, your dad letting you come over to handle Yuehua Shipping's affairs with me is also because he wants to cultivate you."

"Xiao Xinhao, you first explain the situation to Little Tang."

Xiao Xinhao nodded and recounted the ins and outs of the matter.

Of course, Xiao Xinhao cleared himself completely, pushing all the responsibility onto Hua Yunfeng.

After Xiao Xinhao finished speaking, he began to calculate in his mind.

Good heavens.

So Xingyao Group was the predecessor of Xingtu Group!

It had just changed its name.

Back in college, Xiao Xinhao had wanted to integrate into Tang Xingyu and Cui Jinghui's circle several times, but his family circumstances and background didn't support it, so they never really hung out together.

His understanding of Tang Xingyu remained at the level of a rich second-generation; he didn't really understand what the family did specifically, only knowing that Tang Xingyu's father's business was very large, and there was an uncle working in the political and legal field.

Typically powerful and influential.

He hadn't expected that the backer behind Yuehua Shipping was the Tang family!

This was too ruthless!

Vice President Qi Chunqing was a vice president of Xingyao Group and certainly wouldn't stay in a small enterprise like Yuehua Shipping for long.

As long as he performed well these few days, plus this connection with Tang Xingyu, perhaps he could use this opportunity to become a trusted core member of Xingyao Group.

In the future, serving as the CEO of Yuehua Shipping and taking over Hua Yunfeng's position shouldn't be a problem!

Just a moment ago, he had pushed all the responsibility onto Hua Yunfeng, and even embellished the story by saying he had tried to dissuade him in every way, but Hua Yunfeng insisted on having his own way, so all the credit went to him.

Anyway, dead men couldn't talk, so wasn't it all up to his mouth to say whatever he wanted?

It wasn't enough to smear Hua Yunfeng; Xiao Xinhao even wanted to splash mud on Zheng Qian.

After listening, Tang Xingyu was very shocked.

On this matter, Tang Xingyu was only interested in Zheng Qian; he didn't care about what Hua Yunfeng or Xiao Xinhao had.

Tang Xingyu had never dreamed that Zheng Qian could actually be the chairman of Qianhe Group!
