Chapter 1168 Unveiling the Answer

improve by several notches," Shishi Shan Upper Official said excitedly: "It’s truly ideal for living; I want to buy several houses here, no, I want to invest in real estate and build a villa communit...Chapter 1168: The Moment the Truth is Revealed

"No matter how estranged we are, we're still cousins by marriage. Shangguan PoPo, do you really have to call me a jerk as soon as I see you"

Shangguan Qinglang was still the same carefree and arrogant figure he had always been, dressed in an expensive customized Korean-style suit that made him look like a high-end model. Yet, there was an air of mischief around him.

"What are you here for" Shangguan PoPo truly had no affection for this notorious playboy.

"I heard Ji Run is in trouble this time, so I came to see if there's anything I can do to help." Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and a smile on his face, Shangguan Qinglang said.

"Is that right" Shangguan PoPo sneered. "Since you sold Ji Run's shares without authorization, you've lost any right to be here. I thought you had died from exhaustion while bedding women."

Shangguan PoPo's words were sharp as ever, causing a frown on the face of Shangguan Jiazhi who was standing by.

"Qinglang, is there anything particular you need here" As an uncle, Shangguan Jiazhi spoke up despite his dislike for this playboy nephew.

"Uncle, PoPo, I've already made my intentions clear," Shangguan Qinglang lit a cigarette and took a deep drag before exhaling smoke in a ring. "I just wanted to see if there's anything I could do to help."

Shangguan PoPo snorted derisively: "A cat weeping for the mouse—fake sympathy."

"After all, the Shangguan family is our common family. I can't just watch it fall into decline under your management," Shangguan Qinglang said with a smiling face, but there was something sinister in his words.

"If you continue to speak like this, I will have someone escort you out."

"You must be feeling very pressured," Shangguan Qinglang chuckled and said, "I have an idea that can help you get through the crisis."

"You want to help us overcome our difficulties Even my father couldn't solve this problem; how could a nobody like you possibly do it" Shangguan Shishi continued to speak disdainfully.

"Shishi, is there any need to be so direct in your speech Besides, even if Uncle Second can’t solve the issue, doesn't mean I can't."

"Qinglang, you might as well just say what you're thinking," Shangguan Jiazheng frowned and said.

I was considering this: since you all cannot help Jirong overcome its current crisis, why not take advantage of the company’s remaining strength and put Jirong International in my hands Otherwise, if things continue to deteriorate like this, I will be heartbroken."

"Shangguan Qinglang, what exactly do you mean"

"To be honest, those who are trying to bring down Jirong are all my friends. If Uncle Second would give me a little face, I could give them a call and ask them to back off, allowing Jirong International a way out. What do you think of that idea"

"A way out for Jirong Shangguan Qinglang, be honest with me—did you orchestrate this whole thing We've already invested over one billion in this battle; do you really think we would just back off because of your word You must have a lot more clout than that."

"My face is big. If you don't believe me, let Jirong be under my charge; otherwise, once this place becomes a mess and I lose interest in taking it over."

Shangguan Zheng stared at his nephew with a complicated look in his eyes: "Qinglang, tell me what's really going on Are you truly collaborating with external capital to oppose Jirong"

Shangguan Qinglang sneered and said, "What do you think, Second Uncle"

Shangguan Shishi slammed the table in anger: "Shangguan Qinglang, you are an inside traitor for collaborating with outsiders to betray your own!"

"Your own You call me a bastard from the moment we meet. When did you ever regard me as one of your own I am just testing my mettle. How is it, satisfactory" Shangguan Qinglang said smugly: "In fact, only by fighting to the death can Jirong be worn down faster. As things stand now, there’s only me who could help Jirong through this."

Shangguan Shishi slammed the table again and shouted: "If you don’t solve the problem, Shangguan Qinglang, you will never leave my office!"

"Threatening me" Shangguan Qinglang raised his eyebrows. "Shangguan Shishi, let me tell you one thing straight, I came here prepared and am not afraid of your threats."

Shangguan Zheng thought for a moment before saying: “Qinglang, regardless of what your ultimate goal is, I must remind you that the aim of capital expansion is to expand. If you have joined forces with external capital, they definitely have ulterior motives. Both sides have already spent over a hundred billion yuan, and their intentions are very clear. Do you think the situation would ease just by your casual words”

"Why not I believe that I indeed possess the strength and charm to do so," Shangguan Qinglang said: "Second Uncle, it seems like your advice is dripping with jealousy."

“Second Uncle, there’s no need for you to continue worrying. To be honest, at this point in time, both of us have come to realize that relying on you to lead a war of attrition against Jirong simply isn’t realistic. If you had better solutions, would you wait until now At present, only through me can you secure your survival.”

"You're being too outrageous!" Shishi was extremely angry; she still couldn't believe that this matter was orchestrated by Qinglang. Didn't this cousin care about anything other than women When did he become so ambitious and manage to pull off such a big move

Shizheng, the second patriarch of the Shangguan family, stared at Shangguan Qinglang's eyes and said seriously: "Qinglang, I believe that this issue is beyond your capability to resolve. This strategy wasn't thought up by you either. Tell me honestly, who stands behind you"

The smile on Shangguan Qinglang's face suddenly turned somewhat desolate. "Uncle Two, do I seem so useless in your eyes"

Shizheng shook his head and said sternly: "Not useless, just that the path you've chosen isn't suitable for you."

"A road unsuitable for me What does that mean"

Standing by Shangguan Shishi's side, she mockingly translated her father’s meaning to Shangguan Qinglang: "Shangguan Qinglang, if you can't understand what my dad is saying, I'll translate it for you. He means that there are no trash in this world; they're just resources misplaced."

It was undeniable that Shangguan Shishi's ability to insult others had greatly improved and wasn’t much weaker than Han Xinye.

The color on Shangguan Qinglang’s face instantly turned red. "Shangguan Shishi, are you actually insulting me like this Aren't you afraid that I’ll let those capital players slowly exhaust Ji Rong International to death"

"Exhaust Ji Rong International to death Then they can’t live either; it’s mutual destruction, and we don’t fear it," Shangguan Shishi said.

“Well then, Qinglang, since you’ve made it here, it must be time for the truth to come out.” The second patriarch smiled slightly, as if suddenly feeling relieved.. Of course, high housing prices had become an issue that everyone worried about and cared most deeply about; Zhang Binghao was no exception. To control housing prices and curb speculative real estate...
