Section 195: The Sikong Clan
Qin Biao fell silent for a long time.
Because, he liked Liu Qin. If he went to Linhai University with Xiangxiang today, it would be destined that he and Liu Qin would have no relationship in this life.
Moreover, he has always been a loyal enforcer under Liu Tiannan. If he goes to Linhai University today, it means that his other identity will also be made public. He chose to take sides. But at the same time, he will also find himself in an awkward position within the Nalong Gang.
At this moment, Qin Biao's heart was complex and he was struggling. He understood that as long as he stood up, the woman before him could only be his boss. Not a woman he could pursue someday.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Biao finally made up his mind. He let out a long sigh and slowly stood up, looking at Liu Qin, and said word by word: “I’ll go.” After a pause, he gathered his courage and continued, "But I'm not going because of Xiangxiang's beauty. You know, I like you."
After that, he took a deep look at Liu Qin, then turned around and strode out of the Fengqing Bar.
As I stepped out of the bar, I heard Liuqin's words: "Now that's what a man looks like."
Qin Biao's body trembled slightly, but he raised his head, straightened his chest, and strode away. From this moment on, he had chosen a side. No matter whether Liu Qin won or lost this time, he stood with her without hesitation.
Qin Biao has won, and he will face the peak of his life once again. But if he loses, he also understands what the consequences will be. With Liu Qing's character, who repays every flaw, he will either be driven out of Linhai City at best, or worse, have nowhere to die. And the latter probability is higher.
Once he made up his mind, he was like fighting for his future with all his might. At this moment, he thought of Lin Long's smile last night and vaguely understood its meaning. The threat was the main flavor, it seemed. Lin Tiannan didn't say nothing at all, but had already given him a very clear signal.
But if he didn't help Liu Qin, would he still be considered a man
In the office of the chairman of Sikong Group, Sikong Yanran flipped through the performance report in her hand, her brow furrowed slightly. The performance of Sikong Group had slipped a bit over the past few months, and the cooperation with Yun family hadn't been finalized after all.
Frowning slightly, she picked up the phone and quickly dialed a few numbers.
After a few minutes, several core members of the Sikong family arrived at her office. After everyone sat down, Sikong Yanran had her secretary distribute a document to each person, then she sat in the main seat, silently waiting for everyone's reaction.
Five minutes later, after everyone had finished reading the material, they all raised their heads. Moreover, each person's face looked a bit solemn.
"Yanyan, is this document truly from Ou Yang Yingliang and Li Bing working together" a man of about fifty years old, with a sharp countenance, said in a deep voice.
This person is Si Kong Bo Long, the only elder among several core figures. When handing over power to Si Kong Yan Ran, the previous generation of the Si Kong family chose to collectively withdraw. They only left behind a respected elder who had helped the Si Kong family through several crises on multiple occasions to assist Si Kong Yan Ran in fully mastering the Si Kong family.
Ten years ago, the Sikong family was still a small family and didn't hold much status in Linhai City. But through the efforts of Sikong Bolong's generation, by the time of Sikong Yanan, the Sikong family had become a powerful force in Linhai City, and no one dared to underestimate them.
Si Kong Yanran solemnly nodded and said, "Uncle Bolo Long, yesterday I met with Lin Meiyue, the daughter-in-law of the Ou Yang family. She conveyed the Ou Yang family's cooperation intentions and sincerity." After a pause, she continued, "Today I received a joint cooperation agreement signed by Ou Yang Yingliang and Li Bing."
Si Kong Bo Long put down the materials in his hand and glanced at the other young man, asking, "Qing Dong, what do you think"
Si Kong Qingdong, Si Kong Yanran's cousin and this year's vice chairman of the Si Kong family board of directors, was in charge of the specific affairs of the group company. He raised his head, a gleam of excitement flashing across his face, and said in a low voice, "This can be done."
“Yes, if things go well, with the Li family and the Ouyang family as allies, I'm afraid we would have to level up considerably. Moreover, both families possess vast resources and could engage in in-depth collaboration.” A young man named Si Kong Mingdong chimed in.
Their words sparked a murmur of discussion among the crowd. Some nodded in agreement, others shook their heads in disagreement, while some remained silent, saying nothing at all.
Siku Yanran and Sikong Bolong looked at each other, neither speaking.
“I don’t quite agree with this cooperation scheme.” At this time, Si Kong Yidong, the eldest son of Si Kong Borong, raised his head and said in a deep voice: “This scheme is too risky. Ouyang Yingliang has no real status within the Ouyang family. His two brothers, along with those elders from the council, control most of the Ouyang family’s assets and power. Even with the help of the Li family, his chances of winning are slim. Moreover, this is a conflict within the family. If we interfere, things could go wrong and bring disaster to the Si Kong family.”
Hearing what Si Kong Yi Dong said, the few people sitting beside him also nodded in agreement.
It is now very clear that the Si Kong family has basically divided into two camps. One camp supports cooperation, and the other opposes it, and each camp's reasons are very sufficient.
Sikong Yanran also nodded and said, "That's right, this matter, if one choice is not good, it will put the Sikong family in a passive position. The Sikong family has finally achieved its current prosperity, and no one wants to see the hard-won achievements ruined overnight. But I want the Sikong family to have a wider development space."
Si Kong Bolong nodded in approval, signaling for her to continue.
Si Kong Yanran picked up another document from her desk and handed it to everyone. Then she said, “This is this quarter’s performance report. Qingdong has already looked it over. To be honest, when I saw this report, I got a little worried.”
Everyone looked at the performance report, their faces not looking too good.
“As you all know, the mining industry is currently dominated by the Li family. And on the real estate front, the contract with the Yun family wasn’t signed yesterday.” Si Kong Yanran said faintly, “So when I reviewed Ouyang Yingliang’s proposal again, I saw a glimmer of opportunity.”
"Victory, the Si Kong family will flourish. Defeat, we start anew. If the Si Kong family cannot withstand the wins and losses, how can we stand firm in this coming family struggle" Si Kong Yanran's words were powerful and resolute.
"So, I've decided, cooperation." Si Kong Yanran stood up, her face beaming with excitement. At this moment, she exuded a valiant air, and said, "Cooperation requires the Si Kong family to show enough sincerity, in exchange for the alliance of the Li family and the Ouyang family."
