She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

That's how the world is; often, what people dislike is actually what many people aspire to.

It's like some people who resent the rich while simultaneously yearning for them.

Unbeknownst to many, poverty has become an original sin.

As a mature person, you'll realize that there aren't many things in this world you can truly rely on.

Even the strongest bonds of affection can eventually run out.

The following day marked the opening of the Pingchao Club.

The place in Zhonghai is never short of rich people.

As a mature business and economic center, it can be said that almost all the top companies have their headquarters or even branches here.

For a successful businessman in Daxia, the biggest dream should be to take over Zhonghai.

Yong Sheng, the former King of Southwest China, was supposedly advocating for the Liao family, but it would be more accurate to say he was looking for an opportunity to enter Zhonghai.

Mengwan Technology may not be powerful enough.

However, the absorption of the Liu family, Feiyang Trade, and the close business cooperation between the Mu family were also achieved.

It is enough to become one of China Overseas' top companies.

Moreover, the Rong family is behind Mengwan Technology.

The Jin Mao Tower, that landmark building, is where the Rong family lived.

Ye Qingyan took the lead, and almost all the women arrived except for Ye Mengwan.

Of course, there was no notification from Yancheng.

Li Jianian didn't want to get involved either; she seemed completely content with having a son.

Compared to Ye Qingyan and her group's ambitions, Li Jianian was much simpler; she just wanted to spend her life with Si Yang and their child.

As long as her man doesn't despise her, she never thought about fighting for anything.

The old man gave his child enough wealth to live a worry-free life and for him to squander.

So there's really no need to argue about anything.

Of course, her living environment from childhood to adulthood determines her vision and perspective.

Mu Nancen was able to bewitch several women in Zhonghai because they themselves were ambitious.

But Mu Nancen would never bewitch Li Jianian.

They wouldn't even say it.

Her path was destined to be difficult; she needed help, the women around Si Yang, the Rong family, and even Si Yang's own assistance.

Let's leave Li Jianian's place as a safe haven for Si Yang!

At least when you feel tired, there's still a comfortable place to go.

Mu Nancen will not come; Southeast Asia needs her to take charge.

It was just a phone call.

The first person to arrive was Hua Meiniang. Although this woman had not yet had anything with Si Yang, she already considered herself Si Yang's woman in public.

If the whole family agrees on something, why shouldn't Si Yang agree?

Don't forget that's how Hua Yunyan was stuffed in.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Pointing at that guy and expecting him to speak is less reliable than believing a sow can climb a tree.

A sow climbing a tree must have been hung up by a person.

Si Yang was the same; he was forced to do it by the women around him.

The old man was dressed in a Tang suit, holding a cane, sitting quietly, inconspicuous, yet enough to draw attention.

This elderly man, who has been in charge of the Rong family for forty years, has watched the vicissitudes of the past thirty years with a smile.

No one dared to ignore the existence of this old man.

Hua Meiniang took the initiative to greet him, calling him "Grandpa," which made the old man nod gently.

The younger generation of the Hua family are not qualified to speak to him, except for his granddaughter-in-law, of course.

When they appeared later, the old lady from the Su family in Yuhang was being supported by Su Moning.

Although she was raised by the old lady, she is not a member of the Su family, so it will not be easy for Su Moning to take power. She can only hope that the old lady lives a few more days.

After that, he became the president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.

Guangdong came first, then Zhejiang.

This person was undoubtedly invited by the old lady herself, as the Su family of Yuhang is one of the core members of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.

They could even be the chairman, but the Su family simply doesn't want to.

Having been wealthy for decades, there's no need for such ostentation.

He sat down next to the old man, who raised his eyebrows and glanced at him without saying a word. The man was respectful, simply smiling and inquiring about the old man's health.

The next one is a bit more important.

The Yan family in the north.

Yan Qiuming was accompanied by a beautiful woman whose eyebrows were full of life.

She is tall and slender, and her walk is graceful and elegant.

Standing next to Hua Meiniang, she was equally matched.

The Yan family has a daughter who has just come of age; one glance from her could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation.

Yan Qingcheng!

This shows the Yan family's high expectations for this girl.

"Uncle Rong," Yan Qiuming greeted the old man respectfully.

"The old man originally intended to come in person, but his health is not good and he is not fit to travel far. He asked me to apologize to you," Yan Qiuming said softly.

"Grandpa Rong," Yan Qingcheng stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

Looking at Yan Qingcheng, the old man's face showed a rare smile.

"This girl is quite nice, very pretty," the old man said approvingly.

Yan Qingcheng blushed slightly, but still nodded gently.

"Sit down!" the old man gestured for Yan Qiuming to sit down.

Yan Qiuming nodded and greeted the old lady of the Su family.

After that came the business tycoons from China Overseas.

Li Chuning is key to this point; he is a member of the China Overseas Economic and Trade Committee, and many big names in the China Overseas business community are members of it.

Don't forget, Li Chuning has Li Zhendong standing behind her.

This is the big shot who rose from second-in-command to first-in-command.

In the city of Zhonghai, becoming the top leader is almost always a transitional process, and very few people can actually achieve that.

But Li Zhendong did it.

Therefore, Li Chuning has a lot of influence.

With the arrival of a group of bigwigs from Zhonghai, and then from Beijing, the eldest daughter of the Ye family still had some influence.

Not to mention, the Ye family was also exerting influence behind the scenes.

Even the Lei family was contacted.

The meaning implied by "平潮" is self-evident.

Some people don't want to get involved, while others can't wait.

Calling it a club is an understatement; it's more like a feast of dividing up profits after a merger.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can get into the core.

There are quite a few big shots lurking in the depths of Daxia.

Those who are in the real business are the real giants.

In contrast, those who work on the internet are overvalued and lack irreplaceable value; those who truly dedicate themselves to developing technology are the core talents.

The person who appeared next was quite unexpected.

Li Zehui, a rising star of the Chaozhou gang.

They actually showed up here too.

Li Zehui's abilities are beyond doubt. He can be said to be one of the fastest-rising businessmen and a core figure in the Chaozhou Gang.

Looking for trouble?

Li Zehui is certainly not qualified.

The significance of its presence here becomes intriguing.

Could it be that something has happened within the Chaozhou Gang?

Some people couldn't help but speculate.

Li Zehui ignored the scrutinizing gazes from those present.

Approaching Ye Qingyan, he said, "President Ye, you wouldn't mind reserving a spot for me, would you?"

"Of course I don't mind. It's gratifying that President Li has turned his back on the darkness," Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

Li Zehui couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.

This woman from the Ye family is really domineering.

Abandon darkness and embrace light?

Has this already positioned itself as the side of justice?

If Li Zehui's appearance wasn't shocking enough, then the appearance of the next person will certainly be shocking.

Li Zhendong.

They actually appeared here.

Even Ye Qingyan didn't dare to step forward first at this moment, but instead let Li Zhendong speak first.

Don't forget, China Overseas is under their jurisdiction.

Logically speaking, Li Zhendong shouldn't have been present at this event, but he still did.

Li Zhendong didn't say anything off-topic, just made a polite remark.

It's simply about promoting business exchanges between China and the mainland, and helping everyone make progress together.

But its presence here speaks volumes.

After stepping down, Li Zhendong did not leave immediately, but went to the Rong family patriarch and greeted him, "Hello, Elder Rong!"

"Sigh!" The old man looked at Li Zhendong and sighed.

"It must be difficult for you to take this step," the Rong family patriarch said softly.

"It's nothing. You've come all this way, and I'm right here in front of you. If I didn't show up, people would laugh at me."

After saying that, Li Zhendong glanced at the smiling Li Chuning and smiled, "The hardest debt to repay in this world is the debt to one's children!"

"We can still manage it for now, but what about the future..." Li Zhendong smiled.

Once we take it a step further, there will be no room for any personal feelings.

All I have in my heart is this country.

"I've spoiled Chu Ning, she's so immature, please bear with her in the future," Li Zhendong said softly to Grandpa Rong.

"You're too kind." Old Master Rong stood up, which was unusual for him.

Li Zhendong is gone.

The old man didn't ask anyone to take him; he simply got up.

Next, Ye Qingyan will take the stage.

"Old man, where is that person?" Yan Qiuming looked around but did not see Si Yang.

Si Yang's background was no secret to them.

Logically speaking, Si Yang should be the one to attend such an occasion.

However, Yan Qiuming did not see Si Yang at all.

Si Yang still did not appear until Ye Qingyan took the stage.

Could it be that this young master has become so willful that he won't even show his face at this occasion?

Yan Qingcheng also looked curious.

I've only heard of Si Yang by name, but I've never met him.

"This is such a trivial matter that it's not my ancestor's place to get involved."

"Didn't they send me?" the old man said calmly.

Su Moning, sitting to the side, almost burst out laughing.

I never expected the old man to have such a humorous side.

Indeed, the Rong family! The two little ones are like little emperors, and as for Si Yang, he's a great emperor.

This is the consensus of everyone in the Rong family.

If you don't listen to gentle persuasion and you can't be forceful, what can you do?

Rong Laosan is unruly, isn't he? The old man will break his legs, and he'll have to wait.

But Si Yang, let alone breaking his leg, no one dares to utter a single word of abuse.

The main problem is that the Rong family really doesn't have much power over him.

Su Moning smiled, but her gaze was fixed on Yan Qingcheng.

Yan Qingcheng felt Su Moning's gaze and gave her a gentle smile.

This face is dignified and imposing, unlike Hua Meiniang's alluring charm.

However, in terms of appearance, she is no less beautiful than Hua Meiniang; each has her own merits.

If Hua Meiniang was a bewitching concubine who brought chaos to the world, then Yan Qingcheng must be an empress who ruled the world with grace and dignity.

This air of dignity is not something that ordinary people possess.

Of course, if we're talking about bringing chaos to the world, we have to look to Mu Nancen.

That was the real enchantress.

The two women exchanged a glance before looking away.

At this moment, Yan Qiuming was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond to the old man's words.

"The Yan family needs to make a decision," the old man said earnestly.

"Grandpa Rong, Qingcheng is coming to Zhonghai this time and wants to spend a few days here," Yan Qingcheng said at this moment.

The sound was like a clear spring flowing, very moving.

"That would be great, but it's a pity my little rascal isn't here. Otherwise, it would be nice to have him keep you company."

"Mo Ning, you'll accompany the Yan family girl around from now on!" the old man said with a smile.

"Understood, Grandpa." Su Moning nodded respectfully.

The old man smiled and looked at Ye Qingyan on the stage.

"If you want to rival Mu Nancen, I'll give you that chance." A hint of emotion flickered in the old man's cloudy eyes.

Anyway, the rest of the world will be the brat's problem to worry about. How long can he stand by and watch?

However, Rong Jinran was right about one thing.

As elders, we must be fair.

You can't just hand over the Rong family business to her. If you think Mu Nancen is like you and you like her, then you can't just hand over the Rong family business to her. Your grandson has more than just one woman.

If you admit it now, are you going to stand on the grave and curse me for being biased when we visit your grave later?

Putting everything else aside, they're all your grandson's wives, aren't they?

So, the Yan family arrived.

Actually, the elderly are quite happy to see this situation.

At least, they're not fighting amongst themselves.

Using the methods of the Chaozhou gang, let's see who has the most ability and who gets the most. That wouldn't be bad either.

It's much better to unite against external forces and compete on our own than to fight amongst ourselves.

As for the future, Si Yang decided that how they discussed things was their own business.

It's hard to be a good father-in-law if you're neither deaf nor mute.

The worst thing for elders is to arrange everything for their children.

The eldest daughter of the Ye family was naturally dignified, radiant, and her aura was beyond doubt.

It's presentable, and there's not much to criticize about it.

The old man was very satisfied.

It seems that before, there was only Mu Nancen in her eyes.

Pingchao Club was officially established.

This news instantly caused a huge uproar.

Of course, some people don't even qualify to join.

If you want a sip of soup, you at least need to be qualified to sit at the table.

Next, it was time for Ye Qingyan to show her true colors.

Rong Jinran was very decisive; she handed over all of the Rong family's business resources to Ye Qingyan for allocation.

After twenty years in charge, she was exhausted.

Finally, someone has taken over.

The Hua family, the Yan family of the North, the Su family of Yuhang, and the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce all invested a large amount of money.

A number of Beijing businessmen and Shanghai merchants were involved.

They have invested heavily in the technology sector.

At the same time, in the industrial manufacturing sector, the main target was the Chaozhou gang.

This paves the way for future market development.

It will replace the market vacuum left by the downfall of the Chaozhou gang.

It can be said that this is a comprehensive attack.

Li Zehui, the Chaozhou gang leader who was thrust into the spotlight, became the vanguard.

The Rong family's investment enabled Li Zehui to grow significantly.

I wouldn't say this step was right, but at least for now, it hasn't gone wrong.

Ye Qingyan sat wearily on the sofa, clinging to Rong Jinran and acting coquettishly.

"Auntie, you can't just wash your hands of things at a time like this!"

"How can a few of us young people manage such a large family business?" Ye Qingyan held Rong Jinran's hand, calling her "Aunt" sweeter with each word.

"Come on, I've been working myself to death these past few years. I finally have this opportunity, so don't try to screw me over." Rong Jinran said, both amused and exasperated.

Ye Qingyan gave Ye Mengwan a wink.

"Auntie, the baby is about to be born, so don't just sit back and do nothing! When the baby is born, we'll need you to take care of him and teach him!" Ye Mengwan sat down, took Rong Jinran's hand, and started to act coquettishly.
