Chapter 2470: Chapter 2265: The Grudge Is Set

No matter who gets sent out, this grudge has certainly been formed.

Niu Yun thought for a moment, then turned to look at Wang Siqi, and said to Wang Siqi, "CEO Wang, didn’t you say you were afraid of the heat and worried about heat stroke? How about you go out with Wang Shangjin to take a break, it’s indeed a bit stuffy in here."

Wang Siqi was caught off guard by the question from Niu Yun.

He never thought that Niu Yun would be willing to fall out with the CEO of Jingxi Mall, the second-largest e-commerce company in the country, over a down-market investor.

"Boss Niu, what did you say? Did you just ask me to leave?" Wang Siqi thought he had heard wrong, so he asked again incredulously.

Wouldn’t that mean being humiliated again?

"CEO Wang, please understand, our circle doesn’t match with yours. If you try to fit in, it would lower your status." Song Xiaodong turned his head coldly and said to Wang Siqi.

"Boss Niu, you’re actually asking me to leave because of him?" Wang Siqi’s neck turned red with anger.

"CEO Wang, I’m just asking you to go out and rest for a bit. I’m afraid you’ll suffer a heat stroke; I’m doing this for your own good!" Niu Yun said to Wang Siqi.

"Niu Yun, don’t push me too much! Just because you’re the leader in the industry doesn’t mean you’re all that great. Your website sells nothing but cheap goods, and in a few years, it’ll be overrun with counterfeit products. Let me tell you, I’ll surpass you within three years!" Wang Siqi couldn’t tolerate the humiliation anymore and erupted.

But Niu Yun wasn’t angry; he calmly replied to Wang Siqi, "Brother, I’m really sorry today. Mr. Song is indeed an honored guest I invited. Please bear with it, I’ll invite you alone another day for a soak in a big pool, how about that?"

This isn’t a matter of soaking in the hot spring; it’s about the social circle. Niu Yun’s attitude towards Wang Siqi today clearly tells him that there’s no place for Wang Siqi in Niu Yun’s circle.

"Boss Niu, isn’t Mr. Song a guest you invited today? Am I not a guest too? Isn’t it somewhat improper of you to favor one over the other?" Wang Siqi calmed down and said to Niu Yun.

"CEO Wang, both of us are guests invited by Boss Niu, but what did you say to me down the hill? Did you not tell me that I’m not part of this circle? CEO Wang, let me tell you, I’m Song Xiaodong, and I can enter any circle I want; you can’t stop me." Song Xiaodong thrust his face up close to Wang Siqi’s, their eyes nearly touching each other’s eyelashes.

CEO Wang was overwhelmed by Song Xiaodong’s momentum, took a step back, then turned his head away from Song Xiaodong’s gaze and said to Niu Yun, "Boss Niu, I’ll remember today. Everyone present, take care."

Wang Siqi glanced at Yu Yuan and Ma Jiayi, who were still soaking in the hot spring without speaking; Ma Jiayi was there to watch the spectacle, and Yu Yuan was Wang Siqi’s subordinate, who quickly came out of the pool when he saw Wang Siqi leaving.

Wang Siqi and Yu Yuan left, leaving only Ma Jiayi, Niu Yun, Song Xiaodong, and Zhou Yuanzhi.

"Mr. Song, please go ahead!" Niu Yun gestured to the hot spring pool.

"Boss Niu, after you."

"Hahahaha."

Outside the hot spring, Wang Siqi, Wang Shangjin, and Yu Yuan all stood wearing bathrobes, looking at each other. Wang Siqi and Wang Shangjin’s expressions were very unpleasant, and Yu Yuan, who came with Wang Siqi to observe, was also standing nervously beside them, as his leader was in a bad mood.

"CEO Wang, I’m really sorry about today’s events." Wang Shangjin apologized to Wang Siqi.

"It’s nothing to me, but for you, following a boss like this who doesn’t treat subordinates as human beings, it’s really a pity for you. I’ll be off now." Wang Siqi said to Wang Shangjin and then left.

"Goodbye, CEO Wang."

Wang Siqi could simply walk away, but Wang Shangjin couldn’t; his boss Niu Yun was still in the hot spring pool, chatting and laughing with Song Xiaodong, so he could only soak halfway through, wearing a bathrobe outside and waiting.

"Boss Niu, what was the reason for specifically inviting me here today?" Song Xiaodong, Niu Yun, Ma Jiayi, and Zhou Yuanzhi all sat in the hot spring pool, and Song Xiaodong asked Niu Yun.

"Mr. Song, you know perfectly well why!" Niu Yun seemed to be reproaching Song Xiaodong a little.

"Hahaha, Boss Niu, don’t get nervous, me being here means there’s room for negotiation." Song Xiaodong patted Niu Yun’s shoulder.

"Yes, yes, yes." Niu Yun nodded repeatedly.

"Didn’t Boss Niu meet with provincial leaders this morning? How did the talks go?" Song Xiaodong asked Niu Yun.

"Not well. If the talks went well, I wouldn’t dare invite Mr. Song to such a distant place for a soak in the hot spring." Niu Yun replied.

"What did the province say?" Song Xiaodong asked again.

"What else could they say? They told me that building the logistics distribution center is classified as a municipal logistics project and requires government construction qualifications." Niu Yun replied.

"And then?"

"The requirements for having government construction qualifications are very high, including one stipulation that the company must be local to the province." Niu Yun replied.

"Then just set up a shell company in the province, that should solve it." Song Xiaodong said.

"Mr. Song, it’s not that simple; once a company is set up, the next thing is to submit financial statements." Niu Yun said.

"Why do you need financials?" Director Zhou asked, puzzled.

"To get money; the company needs to have a certain turnover in the province. If there’s a turnover, taxes need to be paid." Niu Yun said.
