Chapter 91: Who Are You Calling?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Shijie was stunned.

Crash!

His phone fell to the ground, and he didn’t even come back to his senses.

Zhao Chongling also noticed that something was wrong.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

Zhao Shijie looked like he was about to cry. “Dad, the Yao family from the provincial capital intervened. They say they’re going to support the Zhou family in boycotting us!”

In an instant…

Zhao Chongling’s expression changed.

He quickly took out his phone and looked it up.

Not long after, he raised his head, and his expression was angry and vicious.

“Why did the Yao family of the provincial capital get involved? F*ck!” Zhao Chongling cursed.

Many of the businesses under the Zhao family had reached their peak in Bin Cheng and had begun to expand to the provincial capital.

If the Yao family of the provincial capital attacked these industries, the Zhao family would definitely suffer heavy losses.

It was not just the Zhao family. This applied to many of their partners who were working with the Zhao family to boycott the Zhou family.

With the Yao family’s involvement, even if the Zhao family insisted on continuing to boycott the Zhou family, the Zhao family’s business partners would also withdraw.

If this happened, the Zhao family and their company would be standing alone.

“F*ck!” Zhao Chongling cursed once again.

He could not understand why the measly Zhou family could get the attention of the Yao family and why the Yao family was willing to support them like that.

“Dad, what should we do now? Do we still continue to boycott Zhou Catering Group?”

Zhao Shijie’s expression was sullen.

He also understood that the Yao family had truly turned the tide in this war. This affected the Zhao family and their business partners.

If they continued to fight with the Zhou family, the Zhao family would definitely suffer heavy losses and might even be ostracized.

“Make a public apology! Don’t boycott the Zhou family anymore!”

Zhao Chongling gritted his teeth.

Zhao Shijie was stunned. He was slightly surprised by Zhao Chongling’s decision.

Seeing his son’s hesitation, Zhao Chongling growled, “What are you hesitating for? Even if we resist until the end, wouldn’t we still have to apologize? That would be even more embarrassing.”

“But, Dad, you’re the richest man in Bin Cheng. Isn’t apologizing to the Zhou family like this too…” Zhao Shijie did not continue, but his meaning was clear.

“Hmph!”

Zhao Chongling snorted coldly.

“How do you think I became the richest man in Bin Cheng? A real man knows how to yield! This method didn’t work. I can just try another!”

“There are many ways of dealing with the Zhou family! Do you think they can keep evading their fate?” Zhao Chongling said, narrowing his eyes.

“Yes, yes!”

Zhao Shijie nodded repeatedly.

They continued their discussion for a while longer then separated.

Very quickly…

The richest man in Bin Cheng released a statement.

“My son, Zhao Shijie, is young and reckless. Without discussing it with my family and my company, he willfully boycotted his peers in the business world, disrupting the economic climate of Bin Cheng.”

“Zhao Shijie acted of his own accord. This has nothing to do with our family’s true intentions. I, Mr. Zhao Chongling, have personally reprimanded Zhao Shijie and retracted the boycotting order. He has also publicly apologized to the Zhou family for the harm and damages he has caused!”

“The Zhao family of Bin Cheng has always been law-abiding, and we’ve been committed to maintaining a good economic climate in Bin Cheng for a long time. I hope my peers and I can resolve this misunderstanding and work together to build a more beautiful Bin Cheng.”

A flurry of comments popped up.

It was obvious that Zhao Chongling was using his son as a scapegoat.

This way, the loss of the Zhao Family’s prestige would be minimized.

As for Zhao Shijie’s pride, there was nothing he could do about that.

After all, compared to the Zhao family and Zhao Chongling, he was insignificant.

Moreover, when the boycott announcement was made, it was Zhao Shijie who personally held the press conference. He could not shirk the blame even if he wanted to.

Soon, the Zhao family’s statement spread quickly on the Internet.

The netizens in Bin Cheng were discussing among themselves.

“F*ck! Is it over? Just like that? It was just getting interesting!”

“So, it was Zhao Shijie who insisted on doing things his own way. I thought that the two families were really going to war!”

“You really believe the Zhao family’s words? This was clearly the Yao family’s doing. The Zhao family could not hold on anymore and made Zhao Shijie take the bullet.”

“Who cares what’s going on? There’s nothing to watch anymore! However, I reckon that the animosity between the Zhao family and the Zhou family is still very real. They might still cause trouble in the future.”

The netizens discussed animatedly.

But no matter what, this war was temporarily over.

Zhou Catering Group…

In the conference room…

“Hahaha! Zhao Chongling apologized!”

The Zhou father-daughter duo, Qin Wentian, Li Xiaolai, and the others all started laughing loudly.

Just a moment ago, Zhao Chongling had arrogantly called Li Xiaolai and threatened him.

In the end, within a few minutes, the Yao family in the provincial capital released a statement of support.

Immediately after, the Zhao family quickly admitted defeat and apologized.

“Chairman Zhou, CEO Zhou, I didn’t know that you were working so closely with the Yao family from the provincial capital. You would be fine even if I didn’t join you!” Li Xiaolai said with a smile.

“Elder Li, please don’t say that,” Zhou Wanqiu said quickly. “If it weren’t for you and the seniors of the Bin Cheng Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Chongling wouldn’t have admitted defeat so quickly.”

Everyone smiled and looked at Zhou Wanqiu with admiration.

They were not arrogant although they had won!

Even though they had the backing of the provincial capital’s Yao family, they still showed everyone here respect.

In the future, the Zhou family might really rise to a higher level.

Soon after, everyone bid farewell after agreeing to celebrate together tonight.

Before they parted, Zhou Wanqiu asked Li Xiaolai, “Elder Li, may I ask, why did you risk offending the Zhao family to help our family?”

Zhou Pingjiang also looked at Li Xiaolai.

Actually, he had been wondering the same.

Li Xiaolai’s lips curled up. “As the former richest man, I don’t like the current richest man. That’s only to be expected, isn’t it? Hahaha!”

After laughing for a while, Li Xiaolai got into the car and left.

Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu felt that his response was strange, but they had no choice but to believe it.

After sending Li Xiaolai off, the father and daughter duo sent Qin Wentian and the others off after asking the same question.

Qin Wentian smiled mysteriously. “You’re Tianhao Group’s new partners because of the factory project! Isn’t it only natural that I stand with you?”

Qin Wentian swiftly left with the people from the Bin Cheng Chamber of Commerce.

Zhou Wanqiu and Zhou Pingjiang looked at each other in confusion.

“Dad, do you think what President Qin and Elder Li said makes sense?” Zhou Wanqiu frowned.

Zhou Pingjiang smiled bitterly. “We’ll have to believe them if we can’t think of any other reason that makes sense. Besides, the Yao family from the provincial capital helped us too! This makes me even more confused.”

Zhou Wanqiu nodded.

Yao Zhenfeng seemed to like her when she signed the contract with him that day.

However, it did not seem right to make enemies with the richest man in Bin Cheng because of her.

“Dad, I keep feeling that someone is helping us from the shadows,” Zhou Wanqiu said suspiciously.

“Don’t think too much,” Zhou Pingjiang said. “Who in our social circles is influential enough to invite Elder Li? Who could rope in the Yao family?”

“There’s a high chance that Zhao Chongling has offended too many people.”

Zhou Wanqiu nodded.

From the looks of it, this was the only plausible reason.

She did not expect that Su Chen had been behind all of this.

At this moment…

In the corridor outside the secretaries’ office…

Su Chen called Qin Wentian and Li Xiaolai to express his gratitude.

“Let me know if you need anything in the future. Goodbye.”

Su Chen thanked them and hung up.

At this moment, a female voice sounded from behind him!

“Who are you talking to?”

Su Chen was shocked and turned around.

Zhou Wanqiu walked over slowly and stared at Su Chen..
