God of Racing-Chapter 315 - 310: Bribery

"So, what did Xu Boss say to you?"

Ye Qiu asked Lin Jie, who just walked out of Xu Batian’s office.

Earlier, he saw Lin Jie go inside and stayed back, worried something might happen to Lin Jie.

Now seeing Lin Jie come out, it was the first thing he asked.

Lin Jie shook his head at Ye Qiu, glanced at Xu Jiao who was nearby, and then said, "Let’s talk outside."

"Alright!" Ye Qiu nodded.

The three of them left the company and found a restaurant. It was just lunchtime, so they planned to have a bit of lunch there.

They ordered a few dishes and a dozen beers.

After opening the beers, Lin Jie gulped it down with big gulps.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu frowned, shook his head, and also drank down the beer.

Xu Jiao sat beside them, watching the two drink without speaking, pondered for a while, and then said, "You two stop just drinking, have some food."

Ye Qiu nodded at Xu Jiao and then asked Lin Jie, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing!"

After downing a bottle of beer, Lin Jie felt very refreshed.

Hearing Ye Qiu’s question, he shook his head, "Ye Qiu, I’m feeling a bit tired!"

"Tired!"

Ye Qiu was stunned, feeling that Lin Jie was troubled, and then said, "If you’re tired, just take a break."

"But I can’t rest." Lin Jie said.

Ye Qiu understood what Lin Jie meant, but with Xu Jiao present, he felt some words couldn’t be spoken.

He shook his head, "Hang in there a bit more, it’ll be okay after this period."

"Okay." Lin Jie nodded, said no more, and opened another bottle of beer, drinking with Ye Qiu.

After drinking, he looked at Ye Qiu, "Right, about the matter with Liu Meng, what did Xu Boss say?"

Ye Qiu shook his head at his words, "Xu Boss didn’t pursue the matter. I have to thank Xu Jiao for speaking on my behalf."

Xu Jiao smiled sweetly, "No need, you don’t have to thank me."

Ye Qiu gave a small smile,

Lin Jie said, "Yes, indeed, I have to thank you, Ye Qiu. Liu Meng has always been against me; you taking him down also helped me. Let me toast to you!"

This conflict between Lin Jie and Liu Meng was something known throughout the company.

Xu Batian was aware but didn’t intervene, letting them do as they wished.

This way, it effectively limited both of them, while giving them pressure to progress together.

Therefore, Lin Jie spoke these words in front of Xu Jiao without any avoidance.

After the drink, Ye Qiu asked, "Though Xu Boss didn’t do anything to me, he asked me to talk to his subordinates, saying there’s a gathering tonight he wants me to persuade them."

Lin Jie was stunned upon hearing this, then nodded, "That’s a tricky task. Those guys highly regard Liu Meng. He’s been good at winning people over these years; now that you’ve taken him down, persuading them will be tough!"

"And..."

Lin Jie glanced at Xu Jiao, who was eating, paying no mind to their conversation.

Lin Jie said, "Moreover, those guys are ruthless and greatly value brotherhood. You killed Liu Meng, so their resentment towards you probably runs deep, making persuasion difficult!"

Ye Qiu was caught in thought upon hearing this, deeply furrowing his brows.

Xu Jiao also put down her chopsticks, falling into silence.

After a while, Lin Jie said, "I can help you settle with some people. Over the years, I’ve also won over a few people."

Ye Qiu looked at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie smiled, "But I can only win over about one-third, get them not to lay hands on you, but the remaining two-thirds are tricky."

"I can help you win over a few, not even a third, but it’s some strength," Xu Jiao said at this time.

Ye Qiu looked at Xu Jiao, who nodded.

Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, "Then the rest will be difficult to handle."

Lin Jie was silent for a while, then said, "Not very difficult; among the remaining, many have been close to the newcomer Wang Xuan recently. If you get Wang Xuan’s help, a big group won’t bother you."

"If all three of us stand by you and speak for you, then only Liu Meng’s loyal people will remain, which isn’t much of a threat."

Listening to Lin Jie, Ye Qiu nodded, "Alright, I will go talk to Wang Xuan."

"Will he agree to your words?"

Lin Jie asked.

Xu Jiao also looked at Ye Qiu, "Should I talk to Wang Xuan for you? I hear he’s not easy to talk to."

Ye Qiu gave a slight smile, "Don’t worry, he might be hard to talk to, but he has to talk to me properly!"

After finishing, they quickly finished their meal, and Ye Qiu made a call to Wan Xuan, arranging a meeting spot.

"What does Ye Qiu want from me?"

As soon as Wang Xuan saw Ye Qiu, he asked.

Ye Qiu said, "I want to ask you for a favor!"

"What favor? Tell me!" Wang Xuan said, "After all, we’re in the same boat now."

Ye Qiu nodded and said, "It’s like this..."

Then Ye Qiu recounted the day’s events to him.

"Alright, I agree. This is easy to handle."

Wang Xuan said, "But some of Liu Meng’s men remain, and they’re hard nuts to crack, very loyal to him."

Ye Qiu asked, "Any solutions?"

Wang Xuan said, "Though loyal, they can still be swayed with enough benefit."

"You mean?" Ye Qiu looked at Wang Xuan.

Wang Xuan nodded, "Right, though it’ll cost you."

"No problem. I might lack other things, but I have money!"

Ye Qiu said.

Wang Xuan gave Ye Qiu a surprised look, "I was thinking of borrowing from you, but seeing you now, never mind."

"Haha, let’s head to one of Liu Meng’s subordinate’s houses now!"

Ye Qiu said.

Wang Xuan nodded, "Alright!"

Afterward, Wang Xuan and Ye Qiu got into a car and headed to the house of a subordinate of Liu Meng known for his greed.

"Fang Tao, thirty-five years old, oversees one of Xu Batian’s halls, powerful, and was promoted single-handedly by Liu Meng."

On the way, Wang Xuan explained the first person they intended to bribe to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu nodded upon hearing this, recognizing that Xu Batian’s underground network was massive, with many hall leaders like Fang Tao.

"As long as a person has a hobby, that’s a weakness."

Ye Qiu said.

Wang Xuan nodded, "True, this Fang Tao isn’t good at much else but loves money, even to the point of greed. You’ll have to bleed a bit."

Ye Qiu said, "Bleeding is inevitable, but if it’s too much, I can’t agree if it surpasses my limit."

Hearing this, Wang Xuan looked at Ye Qiu, wanting to say something but ultimately shook his head and swallowed his words.

He had known Ye Qiu for a while and deeply understood what kind of person Ye Qiu was.

So at this moment, he could only pray silently that when meeting Fang Tao, the cooperation would be smooth enough to prevent any unforeseen troubles.
