Wangu Group.

On this day, Wei Tiansheng sat in his office, holding a meeting with several senior executives. When the meeting ended, Wei Tiansheng kept his son, Wei Jiansheng, behind.

"Father, what are your instructions?" Wei Jiansheng asked.

Wei Tiansheng said: "What movements has Wu Changping made these past few days?"

Wu Changping, Elder Wu, the patriarch of the Jiangnan Wu Clan, Wu Yili's father.

Wei Jiansheng chuckled: "This old man has been desperately trying to contact you these days, but I've blocked him every time. It seems he is really anxious; without our financial aid, their Jiangnan Wu Family won't hold out much longer."

Wei Tiansheng sneered: "His daughter has gone to Lin Fan, and he still dares to hope we'll give him funds? But it's good, it shows he still has value. I want to push the Jiangnan Wu Clan to the brink. You go help him a bit, and when he comes crawling to me, begging, we'll then state our demands."

Wei Jiansheng replied: "Okay, I know what to do."

They've been played by Lin Fan, who now has Wu Yili. They won't easily swallow this humiliation, they definitely won't let Lin Fan enjoy his triumph. They have to make life a little difficult for Lin Fan.

According to Wei Tiansheng's plan, their point of attack is the Jiangnan Wu Clan. The situation of Wu Corporation has been thoroughly understood by the Wei Family.

Subsequently, Wei Jiansheng made a phone call to a supplier of Wu Corporation, who is its largest supplier. Wei Jiansheng actively sought them, which was quite flattering to the supplier; for such a small company, climbing the ranks to Jiangnan Wei Family is an opportunity they wish for even in dreams.

Quickly, the supplier called Elder Wu.

"Elder Wu, it's me. The batch of goods you need, I have ample inventory here. When Elder Wu transfers the payment for last time, we can ship the goods." The supplier stated directly.

Upon hearing the word 'payment', Elder Wu felt a headache rushing in. He said with a forced smile: "Old Chen, we've cooperated for so long, you know me, I'm most trustworthy. But lately, my company's funds are a bit tight. Can you send the goods first? Once I receive payment here, I'll pay for this batch together. Old Chen, do me this favor."

If it weren't for the Wei Family's prior intervention, the supplier might agree. But the Wei Family sabotaged it, and the supplier came specifically to cause trouble.

"Elder Wu, that's not how things work. Our usual rule is to settle last time's payment before shipping this time's goods. If this rule is broken, it'll be tough to conduct business later. I understand Elder Wu's difficulties, but our company has problems too. My employees are waiting for wages; you can't make it tough for me, right?" the supplier said.

Elder Wu said: "I know this shouldn't be the case, but I'm really struggling here. Please be flexible. Once we receive payment, you'll be the first to get money."

The supplier said: "I really want to help you, but it's impossible. You have difficulties, and so do I, right? Our goods aren't unsellable; I have several inquiries here. I said, out of longstanding cooperation, it must go to you first. My sincerity is clear, the rest depends on Elder Wu. If Elder Wu can't pay on time, these goods will have to go elsewhere."

Elder Wu urgently said: "Please don't! These goods are my lifeline; you must send it to me."

The clients of Wu Corporation have been urging Elder Wu to deliver goods, and Elder Wu is waiting for the supplier to provide raw materials so Wu Corporation can produce and deliver goods on time.

Elder Wu's plan is to owe the supplier for the moment, obtain raw materials, fulfill client orders, receive payment, and then pay the supplier.

Currently, Wu Corporation's funds are tight, this is the only solution. Normally, this supplier, Old Chen, has worked with Elder Wu for years; Elder Wu figures he should be understanding if he pleads.

But the supplier's attitude is resolute this time.

The supplier said: "In any case, one point is firm; rules cannot be broken. You give me the payment, and I immediately deliver the goods. Goods don't wait for people; I have dozens of mouths here waiting for food. Elder Wu, I give you one day to manage."

Then, the supplier hung up the phone.

Elder Wu was immediately anxious, like an ant in a hot pot.

Without funds for the supplier, he cannot fulfill orders on time. Clients won't be appeased. Failing to deliver on time means breaching the contract, not making money, and having to pay penalties.

This is merely the tip of the iceberg of Wu Corporation's financial crisis. The company has accumulated bank debts over the years, production costs, employee wages, living expenses for dozens in Wu Family… all like mountains intertwined. Once a link is blocked, the entire plan collapses, and pressure surges like an avalanche.

But, he has thought of everything possible, where can the money come from? The bank already won't lend to him; they call daily, demanding repayment. He is nearly a credit pariah; how could they lend him money?

At this moment, Wei Family appears, seeming like angels to Elder Wu.

Wei Family proactively approached, offering help to Wu Corporation to overcome the crisis; Elder Wu is incredibly grateful to the Wei Family.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred midway; Wei Family voluntarily gave up on Wu Yili, who then turned to Mortal Group.

Initially, Elder Wu held onto a fluke hope, since it was Wei Family that abandoned Wu Yili; Wei Family as the richest in Jiangnan, having promised financial aid, surely would keep their word?

But he clearly overestimated Wei Family's honor; since Wu Yili moved to Mortal Group, Wei Family hasn't bothered with Wu Corporation. Elder Wu tried to contact Wei Tiansheng, but was repeatedly blocked.

It seems Wei Family doesn't plan to finance Wu Corporation anymore.

At this point, the supplier's call is undoubtedly a further blow to Wu Corporation.

After thinking it through, Elder Wu decided he needed to talk to his daughter, Wu Yili.

He now understands, the issue with Wu Yili is fundamentally a clash between two giant capitals: one is Jiangnan's richest Wei Family, the other is Yun City's richest Lin Fan.

Lin Fan wants Wu Yili, but Wei Family won't let him succeed, thus tried to take Wu Yili.

But Lin Fan soon dug a pit for Wei Family, and Wei Family voluntarily gave up Wu Yili, who then smoothly went to Lin Fan.

The victor is Lin Fan; he successfully obtained Wu Yili, while the defeated Wei Family didn't actually lose anything, just faced humiliation.

The most pitiful is Wu Corporation; amid the storm brought by these capitals, Wu Corporation is merely a sad pawn. Wei Family, when needing it, promised Wu Corporation a treat, but once worthless, Wei Family turned heartless.

Elder Wu realized he must do something, to revive their dead pawn, Wu Corporation.

If Wu Yili betrays Lin Fan now, seeking Wei Family, Wei Family would definitely be pleased.

The key is, Elder Wu must persuade Wu Yili.
