CHAPTER 918: CHAPTER 726: LIKING YOU SINCE THE FIRST GLANCE 67

Pei Rong struggled, "Grandfather, I was wrong, grandfather, let me stay."

Old Pei didn’t look sideways; his eyes were unfocused, staring at the same spot, lost in thought.

The commotion in Fengcheng was too great, and the decline of the Pei Family was too swift. With the Li Family of Fengcheng rising to power, the authority was divided into three, breaking the previous status quo, and the situation was promising.

Investors were no longer at the mercy of others, and the investment enthusiasm in Fengcheng continued to rise.

The Pei Family had withered.

That was the common understanding in Fengcheng.

Though they were reluctant to admit it, they had to accept that the Pei Family of Fengcheng no longer existed.

The old family mansion, the villa still stood in its original place, but the ownership had changed. The Pei Company’s industrial chain was quickly divided, and these events spread, leaving people sighing.

Nobody anticipated that the Pei Family’s decline would happen so quickly, collapsing completely in just a week.

Industry insiders knew that the Bo Corporation had a hand in this, visible at every stage, but curiously, the Bo Corporation didn’t take a share.

In Bo Qin’s view, not taking a share was the greatest respect for the Pei Family.

And because the old Pei was involved in some matters, he was under investigation. On the day the seal was placed on the Pei Family’s old mansion, Pei Rong saw Bo Qin outside the old mansion.

It had been half a month since they last met, during which Pei Rong witnessed a ugliness and mockery she had never seen before.

All of this was brought by the man in front of her.

Did she hate him?

She gave a self-deprecating smile; she no longer had any capital to argue with this person.

Half a month ago, she could approach him closely, but now, she couldn’t even reach his doorstep. She took a few steps towards him.

"Bo Qin, now that you see the Pei Family like this, are you particularly pleased?"

Bo Qin’s eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly, but in a moment, he gave her an expressionless glance, "Although I wouldn’t kick someone when they’re down, I certainly wouldn’t be soft-hearted;

pleased is not the word, there’s some venting of frustration, but even so, what of it? Was the start of this caused by me?"

Pei Rong’s face turned exceptionally pale and uneasy. She finally stepped back a few steps, putting distance between them. Even being near Bo Qin now made her feel suffocated.

It was the type of suffocation where you can’t breathe easily.

His aura was too overwhelming, and he seemed devoid of emotion, causing immense fear. Pei Rong belatedly realized the type of existence she had initially provoked and the trouble she had brought upon herself.

She said no more, turning away, walking step by step into the distance.

Secretary Zhou had come with Bo Qin this time and, seeing this, checked the time on his wrist, "President Bo, should we head to the airport now?"

The original purpose of coming here was just to take a look; after all, there was some past camaraderie with Old Pei. The appearance now was already the greatest concession Bo Qin could make. He had been lenient enough with the Pei Family. Otherwise, Old Pei would have been in a worse state.

And Pei Rong wouldn’t have had the opportunity to stand and speak in front of him earlier.

Letting things settle, sometimes that’s possible too.

Bo Qin’s expression softened, "To the airport."

Secretary Zhou: "..."

The change in expression was too evident, wasn’t it? Who didn’t know he was going to meet the young lady?

Half a month ago, they couldn’t get through to Jian Dan’s phone. Eventually, after several days, he received a call from Jian Dan, who explained her phone had been lost and she had bought a new card.

Bo Qin couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying he would go to see her. She said she would be busy for another half month, and he could come after that. Bo Qin thought it over and agreed, thinking it would be more convenient to deal with everything here.

The newly ascended players here wanted to establish ties with the Bo Corporation, but unfortunately, Bo Qin didn’t give them the opportunity.

Counting the days precisely, half a month had passed, and it was just the right time to go find Jian Dan now.

This time, he took Secretary Zhou along.

When the two arrived at the airport, they checked in right in time to board the flight. On the plane, Secretary Zhou was looking at documents, because someone had already closed his eyes to rest. He sighed, thinking going on a business trip with the boss was really too much of a loss.

But there was no choice; the path he chose, he had to finish, even if crawling.

...

During these past two weeks, many things had actually happened. Zhao Linlin heard about Bo Qin’s actions from Lin Ye, was stupefied for a while, and couldn’t react, finally reaching the conclusion, "President Bo’s destructive power is too great. Such a large enterprise collapsed so easily in his hands."

Lin Ye couldn’t help but laugh, "What do you mean by collapse? Bo Qin is cold-hearted, you can tell he’s not a good person, it’s really surprising that your friend would fall for him."
