In a fit of rage, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted dead away.
"Phew, you scared me to death. Good thing you reacted in time," Ye Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest nervously. A hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
"I say, Ye Zhiwei, where did you find these eccentrics? You know we almost got into trouble just now, right?" Xia Xueqing frowned, her expression a little displeased. She was about to confront Ye Zhiwei.
"Xueqing!"
"Say less."
Song Qiao quickly pulled her aside, gesturing for her to not speak carelessly. Ye Zhiwei lowered her head in embarrassment and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Song Qiao smiled and waved his hand, indicating she didn't need to say more. He turned and glanced at the unconscious Mike on the ground with a frown. He took out his phone and dialed Provincial Governor Zheng Shan. Recently, Zheng Shan had helped him quite a bit, and the matter he had asked Song Qiao to handle regarding Mike was finally concluded.
"Governor Zheng, the Mike you asked me to deal with is now in my hands. Send someone to take him away." As soon as the call connected, Song Qiao got straight to the point.
"So quickly!" On the other end of the phone, Zheng Shan exclaimed, almost jumping out of his seat in excitement. "Mr. Song, you truly are remarkable. I express our gratitude on behalf of all the entrepreneurs in our province." Zheng Shan's voice trembled slightly. Mike had always been a constant worry for the Provincial Governor. With this worry resolved, even with his calm demeanor, he could hardly contain his excitement.
"Heh, no need for thanks. It's what I should do. Governor Zheng, please hurry and send someone to take him away." Song Qiao chuckled, exchanged pleasantries with Zheng Shan, and hung up. He didn't take such polite words to heart.
"What about these three people then?" Ye Zhiwei swept her gaze over Mo Ling, who was still unconscious on the ground, unsure of what to do.
"Make a call and have their people pick them up," Song Qiao said lightly after a moment of thought. After all, Mo Ling was an ally in dealing with Mike, and Song Qiao found it difficult to take advantage of an ally.
"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Ye Zhiwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. She rarely disagreed with Song Qiao's opinions.
...
Just as Mo Ling and the others woke from their unconsciousness, their subordinates reported everything that had happened. Upon hearing that Mike had been subdued by Song Qiao in a single move after they had passed out, Mo Ling was so angry she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
"It's this Song Qiao again. I didn't expect him to reap the benefits this time."
"Just you wait, you won't be able to jump around for much longer." With this thought, a sinister smile involuntarily appeared on Mo Ling's resentful face.
The next morning, Song Qiao arrived at the company early. Now that Mike was dealt with, given the personalities of those two crazy women, Mo Ling and Li Bingqing, they would likely turn their attention to Ye Zhiwei. He had to nip this hidden danger in the bud before they did.
"Hey Song Qiao, where are you dragging me to so early in the morning?" Wu Meng, woken by Song Qiao's phone call and brought to the company, felt a bit displeased.
"To pay a visit to Secretary Gao of our city," Song Qiao replied calmly, accelerating the car.
"What?"
"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand? I haven't even put on makeup." Wu Meng exclaimed, giving Song Qiao a displeased look. He was going to meet such an important person without any preparation, wasn't he afraid of being kicked out?
Song Qiao smiled helplessly. "Secretary Gao and I are quite familiar friends, there's no need to be so nervous."
"You always brag. What kind of relationship could you have with the Secretary?" Wu Meng pouted, clearly not believing Song Qiao's words. This guy was really good at flattering himself, claiming to be on good terms with the Secretary. What kind of person was Secretary Gao? How could he have a close relationship with a businessman like Song Qiao? She arrived at Secretary Gao's home with a nervous heart. Coincidentally, Secretary Gao's brother, Gao Yuan, was also there. As soon as they entered, Secretary Gao's wife, Guo Xiaoli, welcomed them enthusiastically. She personally brewed them a cup of hot tea and served it.
"Xiao Song, you haven't been to my home in a long time. Sit down quickly and spend some time chatting with us brothers today." Upon seeing Song Qiao, Gao Liang was so happy he couldn't stop smiling. He bustled Song Qiao to his side, acting as if he were meeting a long-lost friend.
"I didn't expect Song Qiao to have such influence in the Gao family. Even Gao Yuan respects him greatly," Wu Meng's eyebrows raised in surprise. She didn't know about Song Qiao's past relationship with Secretary Gao, and her mind wandered to the mysterious CEO of Xinkai. "He must be taking advantage of the fact that the CEO of Xinkai has a good relationship with Secretary Gao."
...
After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Song Qiao cleared his throat and looked meaningfully at Gao Yuan. "Uncle Gao, I've come today with a matter that requires your consideration."
Gao Yuan paused and nodded, signaling Song Qiao to continue. Song Qiao gently put down his teacup and continued, "I assume you've heard about the intense struggle between Glorious Group and Blue Sea Industries."
"I see that a significant amount of the Gao family's funds have been invested in Glorious Group."
"And there's financial and project support for Li Bingqing of the Li family."
Gao Yuan nodded slightly and replied, "That's right. The Gao family has been supporting Glorious Group for many years."
"Moreover, the elder of the Li family and our Gao family are old friends. We have indeed had many cooperative exchanges."
"Is there a problem with that?" For years, Gao Yuan had been solely responsible for the Gao family's business matters. He interrupted Song Qiao with the intention of reaffirming the Gao family's stance. He clearly remembered Song Qiao's good relationship with Ye Zhiwei at the resort gathering. He had even wagered his right hand against Guo Shanhai for a merger contract between the two parties.
Song Qiao smiled faintly, not refuting immediately. Instead, he directly stated his request: "Of course there's no problem, but I've come today to earnestly request that you and Secretary Gao withdraw your investment from Glorious Group and invest in Blue Sea Industries instead."
"To be frank, Ye Zhiwei of Blue Sea Industries is a friend of mine, and I want to help her deal with Mo Ling and Li Bingqing. Therefore, I hope you can help me support the Ye family's side." He was always straightforward, and within a few words, he had made his purpose clear.
