"Well, I'll leave as soon as I ask you something. I won't delay you."
Qin Yi was a bit embarrassed to disturb them.
"No, it's fine. You're not disturbing us!"
Li Chongyang quickly shook his head. It was the most desirable thing for such a big shot to come to him. How could he be disturbed?
Then, with a sneaky smile, he pointed at Li Xueli and revealed an expression that every man understood. He said, "Qin Yi, why don't you..."
Qin Yi quickly shook his head and waved his hand.
Although Li Xueli was seductive enough, his body was clean. How could he waste it on such a woman?
Seeing that he didn't like it, Li Chongyang smiled embarrassedly.
Thinking that the woman Qin Yi liked was a goddess, also the eldest daughter of the Wang family, Li Chongyang felt that Qin Yi could not fall in love with such a woman like Li Xueli? So, he shouted to Li Xueli, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and serve tea for Qin Yi! Make Biluochun Tea now! It's in the third drawer, a special tribute!"
After Li Xueli, dressed in a maid uniform, made tea respectfully, Li Chongyang said again, "Kneel beside Qin Yi. Satisfy him if he needs anything."
"Okay." Li Xueli lowered her head and answered in a delicate voice.
"President Li, I want to ask you something." Qin Yi looked away with difficulty and asked Li Chongyang, "Does it have an auction in Qingyu City?"
"An auction? There is one in the southern district of the city. There will be an auction next week. I'll ask Xueli to write the address for you later," said Li Chongyang.
"Mmm, thanks." Qin Yi nodded.
"There's no need to be so polite with me. Haha!"
After Li Chongyang finished laughing, he seemed to think of something and asked thoughtfully, "Qin Yi, did you go to the antique shop yesterday?"
"Yes. What's wrong?" Qin Yi asked.
"Have you met the son of the Zhou family, Zhou Shaoning?" Li Chongyang asked again.
Qin Yi thought for a moment. He'd indeed met someone surnamed Zhou when he was buying the jade. He'd almost gotten into a fight, so he nodded.
Li Chongyang frowned and said worriedly, "Qin Yi, you should be careful these days. I heard that Zhou Shaoning may attack you."
"Is that true?"
Qin Yi was bewildered. Couldn't Zhou Shaoning take it anymore after exchanging a few words with him?
"Yeah!" Li Chongyang explained, "Now the whole of Qingyu City is spreading the rumor that the Wang family is going to arrange a marriage with the Zhou family..."
"What does that have to do with me?" Qin Yi spread out his hands innocently.
......
Li Chongyang was speechless.
He'd thought that the Zhou family would be with the Wang family. However, Qin Yi appeared out of nowhere.
Wasn't Qin Yi the thorn on the Zhou family's side?
How could the Zhou family tolerate the intervention of a third party?
How was it none of Qin Yi's business?
When he saw Qin Yi's calm expression, Li Chongyang thought of how Wang Zixing had tried his best to protect Qin Yi the night before yesterday.
He thought to himself, could it be that Qin Yi was confident that he'd be able to get together with Wang Zirou, so he didn't care about the Zhou family's attitude?
Yes, it must be like this!
At this moment, Qin Yi asked, "President Li, may I ask what's going on with the Zhou family?"
No matter what, if that little devil Zhou Shaoning wanted to deal with him, Qin Yi could only be prepared. It was better to know one's enemy first.
"Qin Yi, I think you are a foreigner. Maybe you don't understand the situation in Qingyu City."
Li Chongyang lit a cigarette and began to tell him the story.
There were three influential families in Qingyu City.
The Wang family, the Zhou family, and the Lin family were three prestigious families.
The Wang family and the Lin family were equally matched in terms of economy and influence.
Half of Qingyu City's industries, real estate, transportation, catering, and so on, belonged to them. It could be said that these two families belonged to the rich and powerful families in Qingyu City!
As the saying went, if two men rode on a horse, one must ride behind.
Everyone wanted to defeat the other party and acclaim his family as the king.
Especially in recent years, the fights against the interests of the two families increased, seriously leading to the instability of the city.
For example, in the catering industry.
Since the Wang family was going to build a big hotel, the Lin family did not want to compromise. They also wanted to get involved in this area.
If the Wang family were willing to open 10 hotels, then the Lin family would establish 11. If the former did not want to give in, they would continue to work on it, and the latter would continue to invest in the same sphere.
In this way, there would always be a weaker side that would soon close down.
Not only were both parties harmed, but the citizens also lost their jobs.
Another example was the manufacturing industry.
The Lin family took a fancy to a project and set up a big factory. The Wang family followed suit when they noticed it.
As a result, the number of products provided was too many, and both lost their capital. As a result, both factories went bankrupt, and another group of employees lost their jobs.
These were just the surface.
Many small tricks were behind the scenes, such as arranging for all undercover agents to make trouble in the other party's property.
In short, the competition between the two families greatly affected the development of Qingyu City.
Ultimately, the superior came forward to mediate and devise a simple solution.
The Martial Arts Contest replaced the industrial competition between the two sides.
For example, if they used the hotel industry above as an example, they would hold a martial arts contest when the competition resulted in excessive demand and a couple of companies going bankrupt.
The Wang family had the right to say that the Lin family was not in charge of the management of the hotel.
At the same time, it was the same for the Lin Family.
Although this method was a bit crude, it did have a specific effect in the past two years.
Now it was time to talk about the Zhou family.
Compared with the Wang and Lin families, the Zhou family was not on the same par.
It was a well-known martial arts family, majoring in martial arts and taking in disciples.
Under the situation in Qingyu City, the Zhou family became the favorite of the Wang family and the Lin family. They became the people they were eager to draw over to their side. Their status also rose drastically, and they became the third influential figure in Qingyu City!
"This year, Zhou Shaoning of the Zhou family focuses on the eldest daughter of the Wang family. It is an opportunity for the Wang family. Once the two families unite through marriage, the Lin family will be unlucky. However, Wang Zirou has always been against this marriage."
Li Chongyang explained.
Qin Yi thought for a while and asked, "Is the Zhou family mighty?"
"Of course, the Zhou family is powerful. It is said that they have an expert who can kill a cow with one punch!"
"Then, why didn't the Wang and Lin families go outside to hire experts? Why did they have to rely on the Zhou family?" asked Qin Yi again.
There was always someone more potent than the others, and there was no limit in the universe.
Killing a cow with one punch was not really powerful.
Warriors who had reached the peak of Internal Strength could do it. There were many experts like that in Hosia.
When his master, Divine Witch, met a fierce tiger in the mountain, he indifferently said, "Evil beast, don't block my way!" The tiger turned around and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.
"Sometimes they would."
Li Chongyang took a sip of tea and continued, "But it's not easy to invite real experts. It takes a lot of money to fight! Often, it's better to withdraw from some industry competition than invite martial artists."
"Besides, they often compete at the end of the year and don't have time to invite experts in martial arts. The Zhou family is in Qingyu City. They can come at any time to fight for the Wang family!"
After listening to Li Chongyang, Qin Yi roughly understood what was going on and couldn't be bothered to get involved.
What they fought for had nothing to do with him.
However, he had to be wary of the experts of the Zhou family who killed a cow with one punch.
Although Divine Witch was powerful, he didn't want Qin Yi to expose his identity when he came down the mountain.
Forget it. Let's wait and see!
He could show them his trump card in advance if they really wanted to do it.
"All right, I got it. I won't bother you anymore!"
Qin Yi rose to take his leave.
Li Chongyang repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but he didn't.
However, he was already quite satisfied that Qin Yi had come to ask him a few questions. It meant that their relationship had advanced another step.
If he couldn't get in touch with the Zhou family, he could get in touch with Qin Yi.
If Qin Yi could win Wang Zirou's heart, Li Chongyang would have a big backer!
