They surrounded me right after the breakup.

The restaurant on the first floor was filled with the aroma of fried eggs and toasted bread.

Several plates were set on the dining table.

Soft-boiled eggs, whole-wheat bread, sliced ​​avocado, and boiled broccoli.

Jiang Han changed into a dark gray shirt and sat at the dining table by the window.

Shen Qingning came out of the kitchen with a coffee pot and refilled his cup.

Then I pulled out a chair and sat down next to him, waiting quietly.

Lin Yaoyao sat down opposite him: "Honey, how do you plan to play?"

"The Chiang family's business empire is divided into two parts: the entertainment industry and the real estate industry."

Jiang Han took a sip of coffee and slowly began his analysis.

"Universal is the biggest source of cash for the Chiang family. When he promotes new artists and releases albums, we release new songs at the same time to crush his charts."

"He spends a lot of money to make movies, so we take the share of Nezha sequel and The Wandering Earth and lock out all the theater resources they can access."

"Isn't he trying to make money in the entertainment industry? Let him make it, he'll make sure he spits out every penny he earns!"

Lin Yaoyao's eyes lit up as she listened; she loved Jiang Han's state of mind the most.

They're usually lazy and indifferent to everything, but once their bottom line is crossed, they become incredibly sharp.

"Yes! That's it! He thought he was the local tyrant of Universal Music, that he could take over the whole market just by throwing money at it."

"Let him see what real capital is!"

Shen Qingning put down her coffee cup, her tone turning colder.

"I have some connections among independent filmmakers."

"I got to know a lot of people behind the scenes during those years of filming. Although they weren't in the spotlight, they held real power over scheduling and resource allocation."

"Just make sure that every time they make a choice, they find that choosing the Star and Moon is more cost-effective than choosing the Globe."

Lin Yaoyao took over the conversation, resting her elbows on the table.

"The Jiang family started out in real estate, and the older generation in Jingzhou still remembers how they made their fortune."

"They still hold several plots of land around Jingzhou, which are not large, but in good locations."

"Our Lin family entered the market later, focusing on residential projects. In recent years, the Jiang family's old projects have been shrinking, and my father is worried about not finding an opportunity to acquire them."

Lin Yaoyao tapped the table with her spoon: "Leave the residential part to me!"

"I'll go home tonight and talk to my dad. He's been working in Jingzhou for so many years, and he has capable people on every line."

"My dad could count the Jiang family's long-standing connections in the real estate industry with his eyes closed."

"No, I'll just tell my mom! She's definitely going to do it herself!"

"Isn't the Chiang family trying to stall for time? We'll stall until they have no allies left in the real estate industry!"

Shen Qingning calmly pointed out the key point.

"Yaoyao's family mainly deals in residential properties, while Xiaoxiao's family deals in commercial real estate."

"Should we ask Xiao Xiao about commercial real estate?"

She leaned back in her chair and swiped her finger lightly across her phone screen.

I opened the chat interface of my best friend group, a chat about lifelong besties.

Lin Yaoyao and Shen Qingning looked at each other.

I still vividly remember the times we used to banter with each other in the group chat.

They may argue and bicker, but when it comes to real trouble, these sisters are truly courageous!

Shen Qingning lowered her head, her fingers flew across the screen a few times, and then she pressed the send button.

Simple and direct, no preamble, no formalities.

"Jiang Guangyao sent someone to report Xia Yutong's father, and Chairman Jiang is preparing a full-scale counterattack."

"Sisters, can we tolerate this?"

"Yaoyao is preparing to find someone to focus on residential real estate projects, while Xingyue Media will handle the entertainment industry."

"So, what's left regarding commercial real estate? Xiao Xiao, what are your thoughts?"

Shen Qingning directly tagged Xiao Xiao, practically begging her to make a statement on the spot.

Xiao Xiao's profile picture lit up less than 10 seconds after the message was sent.

Xiao Xiao: "Holy crap!!!"

Xiao Xiao: "That bastard Jiang Guangyao!!!"

Xiao Xiao: "His father messed up Jiang Han's father like that back then, and now he dares to mess with Yu Tong's father?"

Xiao Xiao: "So, when you can't win in business competition, you resort to underhanded tactics, huh!"

Xiao Xiao: "Yutong, Yutong! Is your dad alright? Just tell me if you need anything! I'm going to find him right now!"

Xiao Xiao: "Our family has been deeply involved in the commercial real estate market in Jingzhou for years. I could have completely exploited his meager resources in one night!"

Xiao Xiao: "He dared to mess with Yu Tong; he's really bitten off more than he can chew!"

Xiao Xiao: "The Jiang family is nothing!"

Xiao Xiao: "If I don't show my power, do you think I'm some kind of Hello Kitty?!"

Xiao Xiao's series of comments instantly filled the group chat page.

Then came another long string of emojis.

This little rascal usually loves to join in the fun, but when he gets serious, he's surprisingly reliable.

Lin Yaoyao picked up her phone and laughed as she looked at it.

"Look at Xiao Xiao's fiery temper."

"They're always the first to stir up trouble, but when something really goes wrong, they're the first to rush in."

"I actually believed her when she said she could plunder all of the Chiang family's commercial real estate resources in one night."

"Her father, Xiao Yuanshan, holds a significant position in the Jingzhou commercial real estate circle. The scraps left over from the Jiang family are simply not worth mentioning."

Xia Yutong only replied with two words: "Thank you."

Xiao Xiao's reply popped up immediately afterward.

Xiao Xiao: "No need to thank me! We're all sisters!"

Xiao Xiao: "Anyone who dares to touch us sisters, I'll be the first to rush up and beat them up!"

Xiao Xiao: "Yutong, don't worry, your father's matter is all our matter!"

Xiao Xiao: "Jiang Guangyao has no chance of stalling for time. I'll have my dad speed things up!"

Xiao Xiao: "He wants to stall, doesn't he? I'll let him stall!"

Xiao Xiao: "Keep dragging this out until all his resources are used up!"

Liu Meng's profile picture also lit up.

Her reply was longer than everyone else's, and her tone was calm and composed.

Liu Meng: "I just saw the message after the meeting. Just tell me what you need me to do."

"I know many influential figures who work in MCNs and can help you generate buzz anytime."

"If you need anything related to public opinion, let me know in advance and I'll arrange the content distribution."

"I also know some people in the business cooperation field; feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

Qiu Siyao replied.

"Honey, I can do the specific analysis work. If we encounter any financial problems during the investigation, let me handle it!"

Lin Yaoyao put her phone on the table; messages from her best friends' group chat were still popping up.

She picked up the cooled soy milk and held it up towards the Yangtze River.

"Honey, Jiang Guangyao probably doesn't know that he's taken down a gang this time."

Shen Qingning did not raise her glass, but simply nodded slightly.

"He thought he was only targeting Xia Guodong, but in reality, he was targeting all of us."

Jiang Han smiled.

He could sense Shen Qingning and Lin Yaoyao's sincerity.

"I'm going to the company now. Each of you should mobilize all the resources you can."

"Yaoyao, contact your mother. Qingning, contact the producer."

"Let them know that no one from Jianghan can be touched!"

After Jiang Han finished speaking, he picked up his coat and car keys and walked towards the door.

Lin Yaoyao had already dialed her mother's number, and Lin Zhengxiujuan's strong voice came through the receiver.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong? Mom's making a nourishing soup for her son-in-law!"

"What!?"

"Someone's trying to cause trouble for my rich husband! They're asking for it!"

Shen Qingning's phone screen kept lighting up as several producers' replies popped up simultaneously.

Each message is no more than three words: "Understood, don't worry, I'll get on it right away."

Shen Qingning knew she didn't have that much influence, only because they knew who she was relaying messages for.
