Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 218 - 219: The Domineering Aixue Group!

No one could possibly understand the bitterness in his heart. With a wave of one man’s hand, he was sent to shovel dog crap! With another wave, he was returned to his supervisory post. Such power... Could anyone other than Qin Long possibly possess it?

Li Mingjie called Zhang Xiaoyue.

"Xiaoyue, I’m back in my supervisory role!"

"Qin Long... Young Master Qin... he’s the real deal! A true titan!" Li Mingjie was so excited he was rambling incoherently.

"Really? Mingjie, that’s wonderful!" On the other end of the line, Zhang Xiaoyue instantly leaped up from the couch.

Beside her, Zhang Meide quickly snatched the phone away. "That’s fantastic, Mingjie! What did the higher-ups say about your candidacy?" he asked eagerly.

"Dad, they said that depending on my performance, they’ll give me another chance at being a candidate..." Li Mingjie forced himself to calm down, his voice still trembling.

He hadn’t thought much of the supervisory position at first. It was only after a stint shoveling dog feces that he truly understood how good his old job had been.

"Was it... Qin Long who intervened?" Zhang Meide’s pupils contracted as he slowly rose to his feet.

"It had to be Young Master Qin. He only just mentioned forgiving me yesterday, and today the matter is settled." Li Mingjie had been asking around about Jiang Haijing’s intentions, and she had shown no sign of planning to let him return. Yet, right after Qin Long spoke of forgiveness, the issue was resolved. At this point, Li Mingjie was certain it was Qin Long’s doing and felt immensely fortunate for having apologized.

"Who on earth is this Qin Long?" Zhang Meide was completely dumbfounded, unable to stop himself from asking.

"Dad, don’t try to find out who Qin Long really is," Li Mingjie warned with the utmost seriousness. "You just need to understand that his power is extraordinary. From now on, we must never, ever offend him. In fact, we should take the initiative to get closer to Tang Xuewu’s family!"

Zhang Meide nodded, then added with a confused expression, "Right... they said they’ll reconsider your candidacy based on your ’performance’..."

His father’s words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly clearing Li Mingjie’s mind. He shot up from his seat, his thoughts racing. Li Mingjie was well-versed in navigating the politics of his position and knew exactly what to do.

This must be a hint! As long as I cling tightly to Qin Long’s coattails, I can definitely become a candidate! Yes, I get it now. I’ll go and thank him in person.

Now that Qin Long had helped him, he had to take full advantage of this chance to curry favor. If he could leverage this connection properly, his future would be boundless.

「At the Jiangzhong headquarters of the Wang Family Corporation.」

Wang Ming’s mother, Wang Xiuhe, was reviewing a document. A tall secretary in a formal dress, her bearing distinguished, stood beside her.

"President Wang, here is the list of all bidders. There are over twenty in total," the secretary reported. "It lists their names and registered capital."

Wang Xiuhe took a sip of tea and casually flipped through the file. "They’re all familiar companies. Nothing to worry about," she said coolly, her voice brimming with confidence.

With the might of the Wang Family, no one could compete. Besides, she had already pulled all the necessary strings and had the formidable Yang Xue backing her.

"Exactly. In front of our Wang Family, these companies are nothing," the secretary chimed in with a sycophantic smile and a haughty laugh.

As Wang Xiuhe flipped to the last page, her expression suddenly tightened at a particular company name. Aixue Group? What the hell is that? How could there be such a strange name? What does ’Aixue’ even mean? When did this group pop up? She had never heard of this Aixue Group; it must have been established very recently.

"President Wang, Aixue Group... the name itself sounds childish," the secretary said with a dismissive air. "I had it checked. The group was only established the day before yesterday. Its registered capital is just one hundred million. It’s nothing."

"Just established?" Wang Xiuhe’s eyebrows knitted together. I know every noteworthy tycoon in Jiangzhong. How have I never heard of any of them establishing this group? Could it be an overseas enterprise trying to expand into Jiangzhong?

A hint of gravity entered her eyes as she took another sip of tea. She had a vague feeling that this Aixue Group was not as simple as it appeared. A newly established group should focus on accumulating resources before making a big move, and only then strike. But these people are coming straight for the No. 9 plot that we’ve set our sights on? Furthermore, the starting bid for this auction is one hundred million. How could a tiny company like that casually have several hundred million in liquid capital?

Noticing her superior’s expression, the secretary also frowned, lost in thought.

"Let me make a call," Wang Xiuhe said, pulling out her phone. She dialed a number and soon received a photo with the details.

"Aixue Group... the person in charge is Qin Yue... that sounds like a girl’s name," she murmured, reading the information. "Its portfolio is surprisingly comprehensive, covering real estate, trade, finance, and traditional Chinese medicine... Remarkable... And the liquid capital..."

Wang Xiuhe’s voice trailed off as her eyes widened at the string of digits. "Holy hell!"

CRASH!

The teacup slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.

"President Wang, are you alright?" the secretary yelped, startled.

"Their liquid capital... is five billion!" Wang Xiuhe’s jaw almost hit the floor.

"What?" The secretary, who had just grabbed a broom, trembled. "Five billion in liquid capital? Who in the world are these people?"

Wang Xiuhe lit a slim cigarette, her face a mask of bewilderment. They had only prepared one billion in funds for the No. 9 plot, and some of that money hadn’t even arrived yet. Other companies had prepared, at most, eight hundred million. Some only had four or five hundred million ready. And here was Aixue Group, ready to throw down five billion? What the hell is going on?!

"President Wang, liquid capital doesn’t necessarily mean everything, does it? It could just be financing that hasn’t been invested into production yet..." the secretary analyzed carefully.

"That’s certainly a possibility," Wang Xiuhe replied. "But you have to understand, if they bid for the No. 9 plot now, the Wang Family’s current liquid capital can’t compete! More importantly, liquid assets exceeding five billion require approval from countless departments. That should take at least a month to process, but they did it in less than a day! This proves the company has an incredibly powerful backer!"

Hearing this, the secretary’s eyes went wide. "Five billion in liquid capital! Are they really gunning for the No. 9 plot? Why would they suddenly be so interested in this particular piece of land? It doesn’t make any sense."

Wang Xiuhe fell deep into thought, her expression filled with disbelief. For this Aixue Group to mobilize so much capital in such a short time... it’s as if they’re burning their boats for this one battle!

"President Wang, what should we do now?" the secretary asked, her voice filled with worry.
