Chapter 46: This is Just the Beginning

The Yu Family, Chu Family, and Xie Zhengyuan stood together. This was a representation of money, power, and intelligence. This was definitely the strongest line-up seen in Green City!
No one expected Su Corporation to deal with a counter-attack!
Zhang Mingxi looked at the girl who stood at the podium. Her smile was extremely casual.
She still had her hands placed on the table. The face and that pair of black eyes, which he had no impression of in the past, looked extremely clear for the first time.
Zhang Mingxi’s eyes turned deep.
The Yu Family’s appearance had stunned Su Ruohua. But with Xie Zhengyuan and Chu Xuning around, their presence was even more shocking to the eye.
In her astonishment, she stared at the person who stood in front of her. That slender figure with a confident mouth, yet willful smile…
As though she recognized her daughter for the first time, despite clenching her hands tightly into fists, she still could not stop her hands from trembling.
“Qingqing…” She took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the agitation in her heart.
At that moment, even she wanted to scream!
On the other hand, Su Lun and the staff back in the Su Corporation watched the live stream. The line up they were seeing had stumped them.
The senior executives who stayed in Su Corporation suddenly recalled Su Huiqing’s words before she left. “Look at how a mere Zhang Corporation made all of you scared beyond your wits. How are you going to compete with people from the International Association in the future?”
“Maybe… she might just succeed.” A senior executive spoke amid a flustered situation.
“I have worked at Su Corporation for so many years and have reached the age of fifty.” A middle-aged, fat man covered his chest and his gaze glimmered with hope. He stood up and said, “I have never seen such a hot-blooded moment before. Analyze the paper that Miss Su gave us. We will open a press conference in the afternoon and announce the new proposal…”
At that moment, all the senior executives who stayed in Su Corporation said nothing.
Instead, they used their actions to show their trust in Su Huiqing.
Su Zhi received the message from the higher-ups in Su Corporation, and once he saw the content of the message, he laughed. He walked to Su Huiqing’s side and announced the plans Su Corporation would have in the future with Su Ruohua.
Su Huiqing then carried her bag and got down the podium.
Everyone opened up a pathway for her as she walked.
Her lips curled into a casual smile and her every movement had a presence so strong that nobody could ignore it.
Seeing Su Huiqing carry herself with such presence, Shen Anan dug her fingernails harshly into her palms and her initially graceful smile morphed into a frown of disdain!
She was waiting for the Su Family to declare bankruptcy and wanted to see Su Huiqing being reduced to poverty, but she had never expected she persuaded the Chu and Yu Family and Xie Zhengyuan?!
‘How could that be!’
‘How could this be something done by that useless good-for-nothing?!’
“Brother Mingxi.” Shen Anan raised her head to look at Zhang Mingxi. “We still have our professor on our side. Although Su Family may have a strong line-up, business is as fierce as war. Moreover, it is only the Chu Family. Although they are considered as the boss in Green City, they are nothing compared to the International Association.”
She quickly regained her composure, and she said, “Now, the most important thing for us to do is to control the situation.”
“Anan.” Frustrated, Zhang Mingxi lit up a cigarette. “Contact Mr. Kyle. Let’s end things here for today.”
They still considered his tone calm.
Shen Anan pursed her lips. Everyone knew that she and Zhang Mingxi would announce their engagement that day.
However, Zhang Corporation said nothing. Shen Anan was so angry that her face turned black. She raised her head and saw Su Huiqing suddenly stopping in her tracks. She tilted her head and gave her an extremely cold smile!
She recalled the time when she said she would ignore the Su Family if they came to beg her. However, the situation did not end up like that at all and it drove Shen Anan crazy!
“Don’t be so easily angered.” Su Huiqing pulled her uniform collar, and she casually taunted, “After all, this… is just the beginning!”
With that, she placed one hand into her pocket and walked out of the press conference hall under other’s gazes.
As everyone stared at her leaving, they were momentarily rendered speechless.
They could only recall that casual yet cold smile!
Chu Xuning, who had stood behind her earlier on, snapped back to his senses as well and jogged forward. But before he could catch up with her, Zhang Mingxi stopped him. He retracted his sight from Su Huiqing. “I don’t understand why Young Master Chu chose the Su Family even when everyone knows that Su Family has a bleak future. Also, the military government never interferes with corporate matters. Aren’t you afraid of being investigated and as a result, drag the entire Chu Family down?”
“Pff⁠—” When he heard those words, Chu Xuning stopped.
He looked at Zhang Mingxi as though he heard a funny joke. “Did you forget how our Chu Family was born?”
With that said, he walked off.
But Zhang Mingxi narrowed his gaze. He had long heard about the secret that had been passed down for a long time in Green City. The Chu Family was one of the few existing warlord families. They were not under anyone’s control and only listened to the command of the warlord leader!
However, the Chu Family had always been low key that he almost forgot about their origin!
“Quickly contact Mr. Kyle!” When he remembered that fact, Zhang Mingxi’s facial expression took a drastic turn.
Shen Anan quickly caught up to him. When she heard his words, her lips curled up into a smile. Professor Kyle was her biggest hope now. “Brother Mingxi, rest assured. Professor Kyle possesses remarkable abilities so I’m sure he will have a way to deal with Chu Family…”
The press conference finally ended.
A middle-aged man kept his camera. “Missy Su left! I wanted to interview her, but even if she did not leave, she probably will not agree to the interview. I really don’t understand how a person like her was rumored to be a useless good-for-nothing?”
“What is with Missy Su?” The young reporter beside him scratched his head and his eyes lit up. “Shouldn’t we be interviewing Young Master Chu? This is the first time I saw him in person!”
“What do you know?” The middle-aged man stared deeply at the line of people with the Su Family. “This is the turf of the Zhang Corporation. During the press conference, the Zhang Corporation wanted to announce the bankruptcy of Su Corporation, but they never thought Missy Su would end up controlling it. Look at them now. Who would even remember that they held this press conference to announce Project S? Missy Su is not an easy person.”
–
A room in Green City.
The curtains were tightly closed.
A young man sat on the chair and looked at his phone. The white ribbon on his wrist flowed down, and he had half-lidded eyes.
“The documents of the person you are investigating are indeed encrypted.” A deep voice drifted through the phone. “It is the highest level of encryption. I know that with your hacking skills, you definitely can hack into it. But to infiltrate the highest level of encryption, Chi Yue, you will be sent to the International Jail.”
“Hmm,” Chi Yue faintly replied as he watched the live stream on his computer. “I won’t investigate further.”
He hung up the phone and looked at the slender figure on the screen.
The white ribbon on his wrist swayed as he pursed his lips and left the room.
That person did not like to take photographs, not to mention appearing at press conferences.
He did not know that if he looked back and took another look at that moment, he would have realized that the girl had turned her head to look into the camera. That cold smile and deep eyes were perfectly the same as the person in his memory!
