Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Who is Young Master Li? Tao Wei is of no use to him now, except for some favors among the elders. If it weren't for the sake of the elders' reputation, he wouldn't even glance at this fool Tao Wei!
From the moment they arrived in Hong Kong, Young Master Li instructed Tao Wei to find a good project and develop it steadily, thus fulfilling the elders' wishes and preventing the Tao family from suffering heavy losses. This way, the elders' favors would be repaid, and he could also give an account to his father, achieving the best of both worlds!
Unfortunately, he overestimated Tao Wei's abilities and underestimated his ability to cause trouble. First, he planned to make a move against He Yuzhu's daughter. You can make a move if you want, but you can't let He Yuzhu find out, right? Good grief, this bastard was found out by He Yuzhu before he even made a move. Not only did He Yuzhu warn him, but he also lost a lot of face!

I thought things would be peaceful for a while, but who knew this bastard would get involved with the spoiled brats of the Zhao family in Shenzhou again. This wouldn't be a big deal in itself; these people are all about networking and connections. But, when you don't have the ability, can't you at least develop your strength discreetly? Why provoke the He Group?
Well, He Yuzhu really showed his power, revealing the man's true abilities. By leveraging some of John Bull's business partners, Tao Wei's actions inadvertently exposed Vinogradov-Elena's hidden connection to He Yuzhu!
This family holds an absolute dominant position in the polar bear financial world. Elena is the eldest daughter of the Vinogradov family, yet He Yuzhu and this eldest daughter of the Vinogradov family are close friends!
The Vinogradov family wields immense influence in the West, extending far beyond their influence over polar bears. Young Master Li, upon learning this, was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry!

He laughed because He Yuzhu's relationship with the Li family wasn't very good; in fact, it was somewhat tense. He didn't know why He Yuzhu was so hostile towards the Li family. It could be said that there was no conflict of interest between the Li family and He Yuzhu in their interactions!

Is it simply because of the Wu family, who went bankrupt and moved to Canada? Or is it because he didn't give He Yuzhu face in front of the North Building, and this guy is holding a grudge against the Li family?

My father's analysis was impossible. At their level, the most important thing was to consider the overall interests of the family, rather than becoming hostile to each other because of a little conflict!

That's why Young Master Li didn't know where He Yuzhu's hostility came from. Since there was hostility, it was possible that they would become enemies someday, and it wasn't impossible that they would even want to bankrupt each other!

Tao Wei was naturally happy to accidentally reveal one of He Yuzhu's trump cards, but he also became a target of He Yuzhu!
Now his father started putting pressure on him, trying to find a way to protect Tao Wei. This was something that Li Shao couldn't understand. What kind of help would Tao Wei or the Tao family give his father that would make this old man, who only cared about profit, take such good care of Tao Wei?
Unfortunately, no matter how many times he asked, Old Man Li just smiled and remained silent, telling him to find a way to protect Tao Wei. Money didn't matter; the key was to prevent anything from happening to Tao Wei!

Young Master Li had no choice; the head of the Li family was Old Man Li, and the other sons were just high-ranking executives!

Ultimately, the decision of who inherits the family business rests with Old Man Li. Therefore, if he wants to inherit the Li family business, he cannot disappoint Old Man Li. In other words, in order to become the unshakeable successor, he must ensure that Tao Wei lives well.

But Tao Wei is really asking for trouble. Even at this point, he still wants to mess with the Lou family. When He Yuzhu came to Hong Kong, it was the Lou family who received him. Tell me, is it too much to think about messing with the Lou family?

If He Yuzhu wanted to, he could easily take over the Lou family business. Could Tao Wei, this good-for-nothing arrogant fellow, possibly succeed? He Yuzhu was letting his daughter practice; why are you meddling? Aren't you just asking for trouble?

If possible, Young Master Li really didn't want to help Tao Wei. He was a jinx; whoever got involved with him was doomed. He also didn't want to become enemies with He Yuzhu before the old man had expressed his opinion. To be honest, He Yuzhu wasn't an enemy to the Li family; he was just a business partner and a small pawn that the Li family could use after entering China.

Tao Wei on the other end of the phone was lost in thought. Young Master Li's meaning was very clear: if you are prepared to use a favor, the Li family will definitely help you, but from now on, he will have no relationship with the Li family!
Therefore, it's impossible to use up such a precious favor for a small matter. It wouldn't be worth it to use it all up just because I thought a phone call would be enough to get Young Master Li to deal with it! "Ahem, of course not. That favor from your Li family isn't repaid like that. That ingrate Dong Yong doesn't deserve it!"

Tao Wei refused without hesitation, believing that every favor should be used to the maximum benefit, not wasted!

"In that case, Mr. Tao, the Dong family is very important to the Li family. Therefore, my point is that you two should work together sincerely!"

Young Master Li's lips curled slightly. "At least you know what's good for you. Otherwise, I would have had to let you experience the power of this. Without the old man, you wouldn't even be qualified to see me, let alone call him!"
He Yuzhu laughed heartily as he held the intelligence he had just obtained. Tao Wei, Tao Wei, the funds in the Swiss bank had to be moved even if they didn't want to. As long as there was no one he could cooperate with, he would naturally know that Tao Wei was competing with him. Because people in this class would naturally have to consider whether it was worth offending the He family!

"What's making you so happy? Tell us so we can share in your joy!"

Cai Qiuyue looked at He Yuzhu, who was laughing loudly, with a sarcastic tone. "You actually took Chen Xueru to play in the car. You really know a lot. But, when you took Chen Xueru to play in the car, why didn't you let her experience it first?"

He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, you probably don't know that your every move is being monitored by me, do you? Heh...men!
"Qiuyue, Tao Wei's bankruptcy plan has taken another step forward. The reason Tao Wei is seeking cooperation with Dong Yong is that he doesn't have much money left and can only rely on Dong Yong's Swiss bank account!"

He Yuzhu was unaware that Chen Xueru had already given Cai Qiuyue a detailed report on yesterday's events, including her experience. As a result, he was still gloating over Tao Wei's predicament.
"That's great news, Brother Zhu! Let's go for a drive outside. Xue Ru and Xiao Qian don't need to go. The two of us old folks will go see the night view of Hong Kong Island tonight!"

Cai Qiuyue knew, of course, that Tao Wei was practically a dead man in the family, so she naturally wanted to experience what it was like to be in a car. Therefore, she didn't take He Yuzhu's words to heart at all!
As night falls, I must receive the same treatment as Chen Xueru. These are things that should have been experienced by her first, but Chen Xueru beat me to it. I'm very unhappy about it!

"Going for a drive? It's so late, are we really going out? Qiuyue, what's wrong with you? You used to hate going out at night, have you changed your mind today?" (End of Chapter)
