1350 Collaboration? Impossible!
Jian Ai nodded slightly. This matter came to an end so far. Although there were some problems with a few targets, fortunately, everyone resolved them in the end and completed them successfully.
However, when she thought of Lei, Jian Ai couldnât help but look at Xiao Zhen and ask, âLei probably already knows the cause of this matter. Can we ensure nothing goes wrong?â
When Xiao Zhen heard this, he smiled helplessly and nodded. Then, he looked at Mingzui and said, âLei revered Brother Ming Zui and insisted on taking him as his master.â
âHe wants to become Ming Zuiâs disciple?â Jian Ai couldnât help but blink in surprise.
!!
At this moment, Ming Zui said, âPerhaps heâs very interested in my power of space and time. Heâs also shocked by the power of space and time and wants to acknowledge me as his master.â
The others smiled when they heard that. Xiao Zhen continued, âHowever, our ancient sectâs mental cultivation techniques are fundamentally different from ability users like them. Brother Ming Zui knew he could not impart the power of space and time to Lei, so he rejected him.â
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. Their ancient sectâs cultivation method differed completely from ability users. They were two fundamental things that could not be interconnected.
âHowever, in the end, Brother Ming Zui still acknowledged Lei as his younger brother. Heâs no longer a threat to us now, and he will completely keep this series of things a secret,â Xiao Zhen said.
Jian Ai was relieved.
âThe mercenary group is watching Prince Qi Yeâs every move. Moreover, all the experts he gathered were dealt with before the mission. Itâs undoubtedly a huge blow to him. He shouldnât do anything in the near future,â Yu Wuyuan slowly analyzed.
Prince Qi Ye was anxious to kill Bai Zhou, but his repeated failures would make him reevaluate this matter. Moreover, these powerful ability users could not be gathered just because they wanted to. Yu Wuyuanâs words were reasonable, and Prince Qi Ye should stop for a while.
âEveryone has worked hard during this period.â Jian Ai looked at everyone and said in relief, âAlthough this is the first collaboration between the mercenary group and us, the process is still very smooth.â
When everyone heard this, they couldnât help but look at each other and smile. In this operation, the mercenary group had established a deep revolutionary friendship with the ancient sect. After all, they had gone through life and death together.
âSect Master, is there anything else we need to do next?â Luan Qingyang looked at Jian Ai and asked.
Duo said in a deep tone, âThe other party is starting to fall silent. We might as well strike first. Only by killing Qi Ye can we help Bai Zhou avoid future trouble.â
The others nodded, thinking that Duo was right.
They had been in a passive situation from the beginning. This mission was the beginning of their counterattack, and it went so smoothly. They should pursue the victory and kill the culprit, Qi Ye, in one go.
Jian Ai already had a plan in her heart. She shook her head slightly and said, âAlthough Uncle Duo is right, this is not a simple matter.â
Bai Zhou also said, âThatâs right. Firstly, my brother is in the Qiusi royal family. This year, the number of people entering Qiusi is already saturated. If everyone wants to enter Qiusi, they will need various complicated approvals. This will take a lot of time.â
âItâs even more difficult to kill him in Qiusi. Moreover, once he dies, itâll be even more difficult for everyone to leave Qiusi!â
In short, because of the special laws of Qiusi, all kinds of obstacles were obvious. Even if they entered Qiusi, it would be very difficult for them to find an opportunity to kill a prince who was protected at all times.
Even if they succeeded, escaping was a problem.
Jian Ai stood up and said, âItâs almost the new year in China. Everyone has just completed their missions. Letâs rest for the time being.â
Hearing the Sect Masterâs words, everyone nodded obediently. Bai Zhouâs matter was not something that could be resolved easily.
It was almost the end of the year, so they did not have to be anxious. In China, the New Year was the most important holiday in the year, and this was also the first year since Jian Aiâs rebirth.
Not mentioning this anymore, everyone started to drink and chat. Jian Ai was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she drank two glasses with everyone.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Bai Zhou walked forward and said to Jian Ai, âThe last round of bidding for South Cityâs reconstruction project ended yesterday.â
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows. âThe results are out?â
Bai Zhou nodded gently.
âIt landed on the Jian Group?â Jian Ai had long guessed.
Bai Zhou nodded again. âAlthough Hongxiang Group is not weak, the Jian Group has always been the favorite of the Baiyun government. Itâs not surprising that this project fell into their hands.â
Jian Ai couldnât help but sneer. âThe Jian Group received two projects for South Cityâs demolition and reconstruction. Theyâre quite biased. The Jian Group wants to rely on these two projects to increase its market value again.â
âOf course,â Bai Zhou said. âNow, the real estate industry in Baiyun City is gradually becoming clearer. The Jian Group is dominant, followed by Hongxiang and Century Group. A few years ago, the scale was completely tilted on the Jian Groupâs side.â
âThe survival situation of dozens of small and medium-sized real estate companies like our East Sea Real Estate is getting more difficult.â
Jian Ai nodded. Their East Sea Real Estate still had a six-star project and an amusement park construction project. They were already outstanding among small and medium-sized companies. Many companies were already struggling at deathâs door under the Jian Groupâs pressure.
âHowever, itâs not easy for the Jian Group to handle such a big project like rebuilding South City. Recently, I heard that many real estate companies have extended an olive branch to collaborate with the Jian Group, including Hongxiang Group,â Bai Zhou said and couldnât help but lower his voice. âBoss, do you think we should tooâŠâ
Although he didnât finish speaking, Jian Ai understood what Bai Zhou meant. He also wanted East Sea Real Estate to take a share of the South City reconstruction project.
Jian Ai said without thinking, âNo need. I donât want to eat this cake.â
To be honest, if Jian Changsheng wasnât her father, Jian Ai might have fought for the benefits of the companyâs development.
However, because of their father-daughter relationship, Jian Ai had long sworn in her heart that she would never have a benign relationship with the Jian Group in business.
Collaboration? Impossible! Never!
Bai Zhou nodded in understanding. Looking at Jian Aiâs attitude, he knew he did not need to ask Jian Ai for her opinion in the future. He could just deny it.
âBoss, everyone is gathered beside you this time. I can tell that they donât want to leave you anymore.â Bai Zhou changed the topic and looked at the people from the ancient sect who were talking and laughing.
