Chapter 401 Baisheng Company

"Jiang Yi is glib-tongued and always trying to curry favor with Young Master Qiu. Young Master Qiu naturally trusts him!" Bai Sha took a deep breath.

"This scoundrel, I really want to kill him!" Hei Sha said.

"Don't act rashly!" Bai Sha frowned and said, "Let Jiang Yi show off for now. Being a company manager isn't that easy. Sooner or later, someone will kill him without us having to lift a finger."

"Who will kill Jiang Yi?" Hei Sha asked.

"Manager Du!" Bai Sha said. "If Manager Du can get out of this, he definitely won't let Jiang Yi off."

Upon hearing this, Hei Sha showed a cold smile.

Meanwhile, as soon as Jiang Yi left the company, he received a text message from Hu Niang. The message only contained the name of a teahouse. Jiang Yi knew that Hu Niang wanted him to meet her at the teahouse to discuss how to deal with Manager Du. Jiang Yi had never been to this teahouse. He took out his phone and searched for it on the map to find the address. An hour later, Jiang Yi arrived at the teahouse. Hu Niang was waiting for him in a private room. Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, Hu Niang showed a triumphant smile and said to him, "Manager Du never imagined that he would fall into my hands. I will instigate Young Master Qiu to kill Manager Du. Once Manager Du is eliminated, only Manager Yang will be left!"

"Young Master Qiu can't kill Manager Du!" Jiang Yi said.

"Why?" Hu Niang asked with a frown.

"Manager Du is a veteran of Wanhui Company. Although Young Master Qiu is the heir apparent, Manager Du's life and death are controlled by Qiu Fang. Qiu Fang is the real boss of the company!" Jiang Yi looked at Hu Niang.

"It seems we need to find another way!" Hu Niang took a deep breath.

"No need!" Jiang Yi grinned. "As long as there is evidence that Manager Du has betrayed the company, Manager Du will surely die."

"Manager Du has not betrayed the company, so where can we find evidence?" Hu Niang said with some helplessness.

"It's very easy!" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. "If there's no evidence, we'll create it. As long as Young Master Qiu and Qiu Fang believe it."

"This is an excellent plan!" Hu Niang smiled. "Now that you mention it, I remember someone. His name is Du Hai, Manager Du's brother. This person is addicted to gambling, and we might be able to use him."

"Du Hai?" Jiang Yi was stunned.

"That's right, him!" Hu Niang said. "Du Tao is addicted to gambling, has a mountain of debt, and is a greedy person. If we can bribe him to frame Manager Du, this matter will surely succeed."

"Good idea, then I'll wait for your good news!" Jiang Yi said.

"Mr. Jiang, this matter might require you to personally go," Hu Niang said. "Young Master Qiu is always pestering me, and I can't get away. Besides, I've done so much, shouldn't Mr. Jiang also show some sincerity? It's not that I don't trust you, but I want to confirm if you are trustworthy."

"Alright!" Jiang Yi agreed. Hu Niang said no more and gave Jiang Yi a photo of Du Hai.

"Du Hai will be at Baishang Street today to gamble on stones. You can go and see if you can meet him," Hu Niang said.

"Thank you!" Jiang Yi said, then got up and left the teahouse. Jiang Yi knew that besides testing his trustworthiness, Hu Niang had another purpose: to test his capabilities. Hu Niang appeared carefree, but she was meticulous. Cooperating with her to destroy Wanhui Company would not be difficult. Jiang Yi drove directly to Baishang Street. At a glance, Baishang Street was filled with street stalls for gambling on stones. Jiang Yi smiled and walked straight onto the street. After a stroll, he was disappointed not to see Du Hai. Suddenly, a gambling stone company nearby was setting off firecrackers, and many people were walking into the company. Jiang Yi was stunned. He didn't expect there to be a gambling stone company! This capital was indeed incomparable to Jiang Province. Even gambling on stones was played at such a high-class level. Jiang Yi walked to the company entrance and looked up at the gate. It was written "Baishang Gambling Stone Company" in large characters.

"Excuse me, is there an event at the company today?" Jiang Yi asked a middle-aged man.

"Today is the ten-year anniversary celebration of Baishang Company. Many people who like gambling on stones have come!" The middle-aged man said to Jiang Yi. "Anyone who attends the celebration today can get an activity card."

"What kind of activity card?" Jiang Yi continued to ask.

"It's a card to participate in the event!" The middle-aged man began to explain. "The activity cards are divided into gold, silver, and bronze cards. A gold card costs one million, a silver card costs five hundred thousand, and a bronze card costs two hundred thousand."

"What are these cards for? Are they just for commemoration?" Jiang Yi smiled.

"You wouldn't understand!" The middle-aged man patiently explained. "People with gold cards can freely choose rough stones during the event. Silver card holders can choose five, and bronze card holders can choose two." "Baishang Company has prepared quite a few potential rough stones for this event. There are rumors that many Emperor Jade stones can be found this time. If you find one, you can make a lot of money." Hearing this, Jiang Yi's interest was piqued. He had been searching the street for a long time but couldn't find Du Hai. Du Hai was a gambler, and he would definitely attend Baishang Company's event. This trip would not only help him find Du Hai but might also allow him to make a lot of money. Making money wasn't the goal, just for fun.

"You know nothing about Baishang Company. Are you not a stone gambler?" The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Yi.

"No, but I'd like to try. Maybe I can get rich overnight!" Jiang Yi said with a smile. Hearing this, the middle-aged man burst into laughter.

"Kid, you'd better give up!" The middle-aged man said. "You know nothing, you're just an outsider. Gambling on stones relies not only on luck but also on skill. You know nothing and want to get rich overnight, you're just dreaming!"

"I like to rely on luck!" Jiang Yi said, then shouted to the several attendants at the door, "I want to get a card, a gold card!" Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Jiang Yi. There were quite a few people attending the celebration, but very few were getting gold cards because many people knew that this was actually Baishang Company's gimmick. Baishang Company held this event every year, but few people could make a lot of money. Those who got gold cards were either for face or were regular customers of Baishang Company. People like Jiang Yi, who had no connection with Baishang Company, would not get a gold card, as it would be a waste of money.
