"Since that's the case, I'll let you off this time. Next time, I'll beat you until you're spitting blood!"
Qian Taiduo said with a snort.
Qian Taiduo knew very well that he was no match for Jiang Yi. If he continued to fight, he would only get beaten.
"Are you alright?"
Dongfang Xun asked Qian Taiduo.
"I'm fine, this little injury is nothing!"
Qian Taiduo replied, "I had quite a bit to drink before I came, so my limbs were a bit uncooperative. Otherwise, this kid wouldn't even be on my radar!"
Qian Taiduo said this to save face.
Everyone was not foolish; they knew Qian Taiduo didn't want to be beaten but also didn't want to admit defeat, which was why he said that.
"You don't believe me?"
Qian Taiduo asked with a frown.
"Of course, we believe you..."
The crowd quickly replied.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Let's gather again next time!"
After speaking, Qian Taiduo left the hotel directly.
Jiang Yi sneered.
This guy was like a clown.
After Qian Taiduo's figure disappeared, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Jiang Yi, you need to be careful from now on. Qian Taiduo won't give up easily. But don't worry, I'll talk to Qian Taiduo in a few days and ask him not to bother you anymore. I believe he'll give me this face." Dongfang Xun said.
Jiang Yi remained silent.
He didn't even consider a mere Qian Taiduo.
The reason he hadn't used his full strength just now wasn't because Dongfang Xun had advised him, but because he knew his father, Qian Wanduo.
It had been many years since he had last seen Qian Wanduo.
If he hadn't stepped in to save him back then, he would have died long ago.
After the wine reception began, everyone started drinking.
"Mr. Jiang, may I have a word with you?"
The woman in the red dress raised her wine glass and walked towards Jiang Yi, sitting down in the chair opposite him.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded, then his gaze fell on the woman's face. He said, "This is our second meeting, and I still don't know your name!"
"My name is Li Yanyan!" the woman in the red dress said.
"A beautiful name! You live up to it!" Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
"Mr. Jiang, you flatter me. How can I compare to Dongfang Mei? She is the most beautiful woman in the capital, and many people admire her. You and Dongfang Mei are simply a match made in heaven." Li Yanyan said.
Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
Li Yanyan glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, spoke to Jiang Yi, "When do you plan to make a move against Wanhui Company? We are all ready and waiting for your instructions."
"Don't be so anxious. I'll notify you when I need help!" Jiang Yi said.
"Alright!"
Li Yanyan nodded.
Just then, Dongfang Xun walked over. He glanced at Jiang Yi and Li Yanyan and asked, "What are you two talking about? Why don't you tell me too!"
"I was just telling Mr. Jiang about our last gathering."
After Li Yanyan finished speaking, she walked away with her wine glass.
Dongfang Xun's brow furrowed slightly.
"Li Yanyan is indeed beautiful, but you shouldn't have any ideas about her, or I'll fall out with you!"
Dongfang Xun said to Jiang Yi, "You already have my sister, so don't think about other women. I believe you understand such a simple principle."
Jiang Yi was a little speechless!
Was he the kind of person who wanted everything he could get?
"Dudu..."
Jiang Yi's phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Yi took out his phone and saw a message from Shen Lu.
Shen Lu asked Jiang Yi to go to Tiansheng Group. Shen Lu didn't say what it was about.
"What's wrong?" Dongfang Xun asked.
"I have something to take care of. I'll come back to find you later!" Jiang Yi said.
"Then you go!"
Dongfang Xun replied.
Jiang Yi got up, said goodbye to everyone, and left the Royal Hotel, heading straight for Tiansheng Group.
As soon as he reached the entrance of Tiansheng Group, he saw Xiao Wenbin.
Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
He knew why Shen Lu had asked him to come to Tiansheng Group.
It was definitely because Xiao Wenbin had come to Tiansheng Group to plead for the Xiao family's company. Li Ping wanted him to handle the Xiao family's affairs, so she had Shen Lu send him a message.
"Do you need something from me?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Ye Yanran wants to see you, so she sent me to find you!"
Xiao Wenbin said to Jiang Yi, "Your daughter is very cute. Ye Yanran wants you to meet her."
Jiang Yi let out an "Oh."
"Mr. Jiang, this is actually my aunt's idea. She just found this excuse to get you to visit our Xiao family's old residence!"
Xiao Wenbin continued, "My aunt originally wanted to solve our Xiao family's company issues herself, but instead of resolving the problem, she plunged the company into even greater difficulties. Only by cooperating with Tiansheng Group can this matter be resolved. However, my aunt is proud and can't bring herself to ask you, so..."
Jiang Yi understood immediately upon hearing this!
Xiao Cuiying was truly suffering because of her pride.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
"I'll go with you, but I'll make it clear first: I'm going to the Xiao family's old residence not to help your Xiao family, but to see my daughter!" Jiang Yi said.
Xiao Wenbin's face showed a helpless expression.
In the end, Xiao Wenbin had no choice but to agree.
After getting into the car, Jiang Yi and Xiao Wenbin went to the Xiao family's old residence.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Xiao Cuiying and members of the Xiao family. Their expressions became complicated upon seeing Jiang Yi.
"Mr. Jiang..."
Xiao Cuiying greeted Jiang Yi.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi responded, then ignored Xiao Cuiying and asked Xiao Wenbin, "Where is my daughter? Take me there!"
Xiao Wenbin nodded and led Jiang Yi upstairs. Sudang Novel Network
Xiao Cuiying watched Jiang Yi's retreating back and took a deep breath.
"Why didn't you ask Jiang Yi for help just now? Our Xiao family's company can't hold on any longer!" Xiao Defu frowned and said to Xiao Cuiying.
"I can't bring myself to ask!"
Xiao Cuiying's face was full of helplessness. "I said myself before that the Xiao family would not cooperate with Tiansheng Group. If I ask Jiang Yi now, where will my pride go? Won't I become a laughingstock!"
"Compared to our Xiao family's company, which is more important, your pride or the company? You should know better than I do!" Xiao Defu said.
"I know!"
Xiao Cuiying showed a bitter smile. "I need to think carefully about how to ask."
Xiao Cuiying knew very well that asking Jiang Yi for help would be like slapping herself in the face.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yi had already reached Ye Yanran's room.
Ye Yanran was sitting on the bed holding the baby.
