CHAPTER 42: AMENDED: CHAPTER 42 OFFENDING A BIG SHOT

Long Zhengkun glanced at the phone shattered on the ground, his face expressionless: "Zixiang, the most urgent matter now is not personal grievances, but the future of Longteng Group."

"Dad!" Long Zixiang retorted indignantly: "You don’t understand, that kid repeatedly embarrassed me and said if I don’t apologize, even if you kneel in front of him, it wouldn’t matter. Damn it, I can’t swallow this anger."

"After we finalize things with Star Group, you can take revenge however you want." Long Zhengkun said in a deep voice.

Long Zixiang lifted his head: "Aren’t they refusing to cooperate with us?"

"Though I don’t know what’s happening at Star Group, I heard a rumor that Star Group is considering a partnership with the Chen Family."

"The Chen Family?" Long Zixiang felt bewildered and sneered: "Dad, are you joking? Even three Chen Families combined wouldn’t have the financial strength of our Long Family. How could the person in charge at Star Group be so blind as to consider the Chen Family? Haha, I think your information is wrong."

"I’m not sure about this either, so tomorrow morning, you need to meet with Sun Boyuan to probe for information." Long Zhengkun ignored Zixiang’s suspicion and thoughtfully said: "We absolutely cannot give up on our cooperation with Star Group until the last moment. This partnership is crucial for the fate of our Long Family."

Sun Boyuan, Chairman of the Yun City Chamber of Commerce.

Although he’s not in business, Star Group is unfamiliar with Yun City, whereas Sun Boyuan is a native.

Therefore, Star Group has delegated most matters in Yun City to Sun Boyuan.

Early the next morning, Long Zixiang arrived at Sun Boyuan’s office.

"Second Young Master Long, what brings you here? It’s truly an honor!" Sun Boyuan, dressed in a suit with his plump figure exuding a prosperous aura, seemed unsurprised by Zixiang’s arrival.

Zixiang didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked: "Chairman Sun, I heard Star Group intends to partner with the Chen Family. Is this true?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Boyuan was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily, sitting back in his executive chair and sipping tea: "Mr. Long, you know that Star Group’s partnerships don’t relate to me. After all, I’m just a messenger."

Zixiang could discern Sun Boyuan’s intentions and took a check from his pocket, placing it in front of Sun Boyuan: "This is one million."

Sun Boyuan glanced at the check and immediately pocketed it, squinting as he lowered his voice: "Haha, Mr. Long is very generous. Actually, I do have some news. I heard that Star Group originally planned to cooperate with Longteng Group, but later someone said something that made Star Group abandon the cooperation. As for partnering with the Chen Family, that information is not fully confirmed yet."

"What?" Zixiang was shocked: "Who could say something that alters Star Group’s strategy?"

Sun Boyuan frowned and shook his head: "I don’t know, I’ve never met them, but Miss Mei Gui from Star Group seems to follow that person’s advice closely, so they must be an influential person."

Zixiang pursued further: "Is that person in Yun City?"

"It seems so."

"I understand." Zixiang’s face turned slightly pale.

A single sentence determining Star Group’s partnership intentions, such a person, how could he not know?

Moreover, it seems that the Long Family hasn’t offended anyone of that stature, right?
