Chapter 105: Cheng Daqiang Pays a Visit

Cheng Tianci took a deep breath, straining to suppress the raging anger surging in his chest.

He slowly settled back into the leather seat, closed his eyes, and tried to calm his frantic emotions.

The office was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

Several senior executives were silent as cold cicadas, daring not even a breath.

They knew that at this moment Cheng Tianci was on the brink of exploding.

After a long while, Cheng Tianci opened his eyes, and his gaze had regained some clarity.

"Di Jiang Group, with its vast family and business, shouldn't care about the little Xingchen Square cake."

His voice was low, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"What we must do now is quickly communicate with Di Jiang Group and strive to have the project cancelled."

A senior executive spoke cautiously, "Chief Cheng, Di Jiang Group is not easy to deal with; if they refuse to cancel the project, wouldn't we…"

"Refuse?"

Cheng Tianci let out a cold snort.

"The Xingchen Plaza Project is nothing but a drop in the bucket for them,"

"As long as our sincerity is sufficient, they have no reason to refuse,"

"Moreover, we are willing to bear any breach of contract liability,"

He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

"This matter will be handled by Daqiang,"

"Send him personally to Di Jiang Group, and make sure he meets President Yun,"

"Tell President Yun that if Di Jiang Group is willing to cancel the Xingchen Plaza Project, Cheng Group will pay any price,"

"Chief Cheng, this…"

Another senior executive showed a hesitant expression.

"Might Di Jiang Group make an outrageous demand?"

"Hmph!"

A flash of ruthlessness flickered in Cheng Tianci's eyes.

"As long as the problem can be solved, why not pay a price?"

"Remember, the most important thing now is to make the Xingchen Plaza Project impossible to proceed!"

"Only then can Cheng Group seize the opportunity, and everyone can share the money, understand?"

"Yes, Chief Cheng, we understand."

【9】 Several senior executives nodded repeatedly.

Several senior officials nodded repeatedly.

……

Di Jiang Group, CEO Office.

Yun Yubing sat behind the spacious desk, leafing through the documents in hand.

Yun Yubing's professional suit highlighted a graceful figure.

The delicate makeup further accentuated the Qingcheng face.

A slight furrow appeared on the brow, as if pondering something.

At that moment, a knock sounded.

"Enter."

Yun Yubing did not lift the head.

The secretary pushed the door open and stood respectfully to the side.

"President Yun, Cheng Group's Cheng Daqiang requests an audience,"

"Cheng Daqiang?"

Yun Yubing lifted the head, a hint of doubt flashing in the eyes.

"What does he come for?"

"He says there is an important matter to discuss with you, regarding the Xingchen Plaza Project,"

The secretary replied.

"Xingchen Square?"

Yun Yubing set the documents aside, appearing thoughtful.

"Let him in."

A moment later, Cheng Daqiang entered the office.

He stood respectfully before Yun Yubing, his face beaming with smiles.

"President Yun, greetings, I am Cheng Group's Cheng Daqiang,"

"Mr. Cheng, please sit,"

Yun Yubing pointed to the sofa opposite.

"I don't know what business Mr. Cheng has in seeing me,"

Cheng Daqiang sat down and took a document from the briefcase.

"President Yun, we hope to negotiate with Di Jiang Group to cancel this Xingchen Plaza Project,"

Yun Yubing took the document and glanced over it.

"Cancel the project?"

The head was lifted, eyes blazing like torches.

"Mr. Cheng, do you know what you're saying?"

This project is one of the key projects of our Di Jiang Group. We acquired Tianyu Construction Group precisely to advance this project.

President Yun, I know this request is somewhat presumptuous.

Cheng Daqiang hurriedly explained.

However, our Cheng Group does indeed have unavoidable hardships.

We are willing to assume all liability for breach and also to provide compensation.

Oh?

Yun Yubing raised an eyebrow.

Mr. Cheng, do you think our Di Jiang Group would care about that small breach penalty?

This…

Cheng Daqiang was momentarily at a loss for words.

President Yun, as long as you are willing to cancel the project, you may set any terms you wish.

He clenched his teeth.

Our Cheng Group will certainly do our utmost to meet your demands.

Yun Yubing smiled, with a hint of amusement.

Mr. Cheng, are you bribing me?

No, no, no, President Yun, you misunderstand.

Cheng Daqiang turned pale with fear.

I absolutely have no such intention.

I merely wish to convey our Cheng Group's sincerity.

Sincerity?

Yun Yubing gave a cold laugh.

Your Cheng Group's sincerity is to buy me off with money?

Let me tell you, our Di Jiang Group does not lack money.

What we value is reputation, and cooperation.

When you unilaterally want to cancel the project, have you considered the losses of our Di Jiang Group?

Have you thought about what impact this would have on our Di Jiang Group's reputation?

President Yun, we…

Cheng Daqiang broke out in cold sweat.

We are willing to compensate, we are willing to bear all consequences.

Compensation?

Yun Yubing shook her head.

Some things cannot be bought with money.

Fine, I see you're not easy either; I'll convene an executive meeting, and you can rest here for a moment.

Cheng Daqiang originally thought this matter would certainly have no chance.

But to his surprise, the President Yun before him was actually willing to hold a meeting for him.

President Yun really is a good person, beautiful and kind!

If, if I could…

He stared at President Yun's round hips, a flash of greed passing through his eyes.

If I could pin her beneath me, dying in this life would be worth it!

On the other side,

President Yun arrived at the conference room, yet did not summon the group's executives.

Inside the conference room, the lighting was soft and a faint sandalwood scent drifted in the air.

She lightly parting her ruby lips, dialed a phone.

Mr. Jiang, it's me.

President Yun's voice unintentionally softened, carrying a barely perceptible tenderness.

After a moment of silence on the other end, a deep, magnetic male voice came through.

Anything?

Those brief two words made Yun Yubing's heart skip a beat.

The Xingchen Square project has encountered a slight issue.

She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bustling, prosperous scene outside.

The Cheng Group wants Tianyu Construction to cancel the cooperation and is willing to assume all breach liabilities.

Oh?

A light laugh came from the other end, seemingly with a hint of playfulness.

They are indeed willing to part with it.

Yun Yubing bit her lip and continued,

Cheng Daqiang is now in my office, looking very anxious.

He proposed that as long as we are willing to cancel the project, the terms are up to us.

Silence returned on the other end.

Yun Yubing's heart rose a little with that silence.

She knows Jiangnan rarely inquires about the group's specific affairs.

But the Xingchen Plaza Project concerns Murong Wan herself. Mr. Jiang's relationship with Murong Wan seems quite intimate.

On the other end of the phone, Jiangnan fell into silence.

His fingertips tapped the desk, producing a rhythmic sound.

He closed his eyes, and Murong Wan's delicate yet resolute face floated in his mind.

The Xingchen Plaza Project has been her heart's work during this period.

He could feel her regard for the project as if a mother cradling a newborn.

Now, the Cheng Family actually dares to make a move on the project.

It is tantamount to touching his vulnerable spot.

A cold, cruel curve lifted at the corner of his mouth.

Very well, Cheng Family—since you are courting death yourselves, don't blame me for being ruthless.
