“Chairman Su should be aware of the strength of Fangxing Group.

Even if our two groups join forces, the probability of successfully acquiring Fangxing Group is still too small.”

At the top floor of the Red Valley International Women’s Health Club, Mu Shanshan, who had just recovered after hearing Su Qinglan’s offer to assist in acquiring Fangxing Group, shook her head slightly and spoke slowly.

It wasn’t that Mu Shanshan was pessimistic before the battle, nor was she trying to discourage Su Qinglan.

She was merely stating an objective fact.

The conflict between Mu Group and Fangxing Group had been longstanding and showed signs of escalating.

It was rare for Su Qinglan, the chairman of Red Valley Group, to be willing to join Mu Group in targeting Fangxing Group.

Regarding this matter, Mu Shanshan was absolutely welcoming, even if it meant paying a price.

Mu Shanshan was willing to spare no expense.

Although Red Valley Group was far smaller than Fangxing Group, indeed it was even behind Mu Group.

However, just like Mu Shanshan’s own uncanny business talent, which could not be measured in concrete value, Su Qinglan’s reputation in the Zhonghai business world and among the adult female residents of Zhonghai was similarly immeasurable.

It could even be said that Su Qinglan didn’t need to pay any extra price; she just needed to come out and denounce Fangxing Group a few times.

For Mu Group, that would be a great benefit!

The title of “Zhonghai’s Women’s Blessing” held a very high value!

If one had to measure Su Qinglan’s influence in terms of concrete value, to put it simply, in the situation where Mu Shanshan had not known Su Qinglan would lend a hand, after formally declaring war on Fangxing Group, Mu Shanshan was willing to pay five billion just to have Su Qinglan speak for Mu Group!

That was merely for aligning with Su Qinglan herself.

If it involved the whole Red Valley Group, Mu Shanshan would naturally pay much more.

Having the support of Su Qinglan and Red Valley Group, if well planned, even if Fangxing Group could not be swallowed up quickly, Mu Shanshan was absolutely confident in dealing a heavy blow to Fangxing Group in a short time, ensuring it could not obstruct the growth of Mu Group.

However, at the same time, Mu Shanshan was also fully aware.

Although hindered by Fang Wenxi’s loss to Lin Fei’s Meishilin, Fangxing Group was undergoing some internal turmoil.

However, a lean camel is larger than a horse.

The overall strength of Fangxing Group was evident.

It was only a matter of time before it regained stability.

Once Fangxing Group fully recovered, it would obviously retaliate against Mu Group.

This was something Mu Shanshan really did not want to see.

Hence, she was very interested in Su Qinglan’s offer to help.

Yet, in business as in war, Mu Shanshan clearly understood whether Su Qinglan truly intended to help and what the cost of that help would be.

Without knowing the extent and cost of Su Qinglan’s assistance, Mu Shanshan could not be fully prepared.

Therefore, she had no complete assurance in taking action against Fangxing Group.

She was a businesswoman, not a gambler.

She could not afford to lose!

“Even if the probability of successfully acquiring Fangxing Group is small, it’s always better than being passively beaten.

You know how fast Fangxing Group has been growing these past two years, I don’t think I need to remind you additionally.

Also, there’s something I think you might not be aware of, Mr.

Mu.

Fangxing Group has already applied to the City Council for a key enterprise support fund.

Once their application is approved—”

Su Qinglan stopped speaking halfway, as her intent had already been made clear enough.

In the past two years, Fangxing Group didn’t merely expand aggressively, but also posed fierce competition in the hotel industry to Red Valley Group.

It was to some extent already threatening the interests of Red Valley Group’s hotel business.

Moreover, Fangxing Group was showing signs of expanding into Red Valley Group’s traditional business, the beauty and wellness industry.

Fangxing Group’s actions were already severely threatening the development of Red Valley Group.

If Fangxing Group obtained the City Council’s key enterprise support fund, the situation Red Valley Group would face would undoubtedly become even more severe.

To some extent, the situations of Mu Group and Red Valley Group were quite similar, both facing threats from Fangxing Group.

That was why Su Qinglan wanted to ally with Mu Group to take action against Fangxing Group.

It wasn’t that Su Qinglan wanted to merge with Mu Group and acquire Fangxing Group to make a profit.

She wanted to protect Red Valley Group, which she had founded herself.

With no other choice, she could only find a way to strike first.

Lin Fei had won Meishilin from Fang Wenxi, sparking a small-scale turmoil within Fangxing Group.

This gave Su Qinglan a glimmer of opportunity and forced her to resolve to ally with Mu Group and take action against Fangxing Group.

Just as Shanshan happened to come to her gym to practice yoga, Su Qinglan naturally brought up the matter with Shanshan.

Even if Shanshan hadn’t been at the gym today, Su Qinglan would have found a way to contact Shanshan within the next couple of days.

Su Qinglan was running out of patience to wait any longer because she too could not afford to lose!

Mu Group was the blood and sweat of Mu Hong, and Red Valley Group was the blood and sweat of Su Qinglan!

“I trust in your business capabilities, President Mu.

Just give the nod, and we can immediately sign the partnership agreement.

Fortunately, I also have some shares of Fangxing Group on hand.”

Su Qinglan didn’t say anything further, nor did she need to say anything more.

She had already laid all her thoughts before Shanshan; the rest were just some details.

Whether it would happen or not now depended on Shanshan’s decision.

After a long while under the captivating stare of Su Qinglan’s charming and seductive eyes, Shanshan understood exactly what she had in mind.

With a slight nod,

…

“Where have you been?!”

At the top floor of Red Valley International Women’s Health Club, outside the office of Su Qinglan, Shanshan, who had tentatively agreed to cooperate with Su Qinglan, stared directly at Lin Fei who had made her wait for fifteen minutes, her chilly and displeased eyes veiling her irritation.

“Your personal trainer cordially invited me, and I couldn’t refuse her.

I ended up assisting her for a while.”

Ignoring the fact that he had used Luo Liya’s invitation to appreciate the graceful figures of female members, Lin Fei was somewhat uncomfortable under the meaningful stare of Su Qinglan’s seductive eyes.

He quickly took Shanshan’s soft, pale hand and prepared to leave.

“It’s rare for Mr.

Lin to take the time to help our coach Luo guide the members in practicing yoga.

This is a small token of appreciation from our club; I hope Mr.

Lin won’t decline it.”

“Chairman Su is being too formal; it was just a small favor, and you and Shanshan are old friends.

How could I accept your gift?”

Gifts—few people dislike receiving them.

Lin Fei was no exception; naturally, he liked receiving gifts.

However, whether to accept or not depended on who was giving the gift.

Having been deeply tricked by Su Qinglan, and when those coquettish phoenix eyes glanced at him with a mix of reproach and anger, and especially after he was harshly tricked by Su Qinglan in front of Shanshan, Lin Fei was naturally more guarded about accepting Su Qinglan’s gift.

“Since Mr.

Lin refuses to accept, I might as well offer this gift to President Mu.”

As if Su Qinglan had expected Lin Fei to refuse, she gave Lin Fei a meaningful glance with those seductive phoenix eyes and walked towards Shanshan.

“We appreciate Chairman Su’s kind gesture, but let’s skip the gift.”

Feeling uneasy under Su Qinglan’s penetrating gaze, Lin Fei quickly walked up to catch up with Su Qinglan.

Seizing the opportunity to decline her gift, Lin Fei whispered near Su Qinglan’s ear as smooth as jade, “You’ve tricked me enough for today; I haven’t forgotten any of it.

House arrest at the hotel?

I’d really like to try, bringing you to a hotel room, and see if they dare to restrict my entry!”

After saying this, Lin Fei didn’t give Su Qinglan any chance to recover and directly left with Shanshan…
