It was fortunate that it was still not too late.
During the turmoil in the Chi family, she and Du Hangyan were on a mission at an underground gambling den, so Ye Jue must have taken on a lot of pressure for both Du Hangyan and her in relation to the Chi family in Guangcheng.
The business scene in the city was primarily dominated by the five major families: the Su family, the Lei family, the Chi family, the Yang family, and the leading Ye family.
Yang Mingze had a special relationship with the Ye family, but the Yang family's influence was complex. Although Yang Mingze was the next heir, his foundation was unstable, and many were eyeing his position.
(For those who need a recap, Yang Mingze was the curious young man who drank with Chi Qiyun at the Ye family's banquet. Later, upon realizing that Chi Qiyun was not the eldest daughter of the Chi family, he slightly withdrew. Subsequently, Chi Qiyun ended up connecting with Lei Ji, the heir of the Lei family, who had relatively less power than the Yang family.)
The Su family was known for its porcelain and antique business, with minimal overlap in their group’s industry compared to other major families. Moreover, Su Siyu had always harbored feelings for her, so it was unlikely that the Su family would participate in this business war. However, it was certain that the elders in his family would not spare him from pressure.
As for the Lei family, their style was undoubtedly steady and ruthless. Lei Ji was particularly domineering, which was one of the main reasons Chi Qiyun was willing to collaborate with him.
If one were to say that Chi Qiyun had ambitions, her ambition undoubtedly lay in taking control of the entire Chi family's business and driving Chi Mujiu out of the Chi family.
However, Lei Ji's ambitions extended far beyond that; he aimed to dominate the entire city, including the Ye family.
Looking at the financial figures in the documents, Chi Mujiu confirmed one thing: both the Yang and Su families must have tacitly approved Lei Ji's intentions and motives to swallow up the Chi family's assets.
Father, oh father, this is what you’ve built over half your life—a group where no one stands by your side.
Chi Mujiu found it laughable—so absurd.
In earlier times, without allies in the Chi family, they would have been devoured alive by these people, leaving not even a bone behind.
The only silver lining in this misfortune was that Chi Feng had not left shares of Si to Chi Qiyun. If she had those shares in her hands, things would have been much trickier.
Xiao Xiao, thank you very much for this report; it has saved us a lot of trouble.
For all amounts missing from our accounts, you take Ning Chen to verify each one and make up for all losses. Additionally, we will hire top talents from various professions for Si at high salaries.
If any former employees wish to reapply for their positions, none will be accepted. The Chi family needs a complete overhaul.
Those who cannot weather this storm with us will have no chance for a comeback.
Furthermore, any current employees who have not completed their resignation procedures will receive a threefold increase in bonuses and monthly salaries—regardless of holidays; they will all enjoy paid leave.
?!!
In the boardroom, apart from Chi Mujiu, all three others were stunned.
Especially Xiao Xiao; her face turned even redder.
The young lady responded in a soft and timid voice, her delicate frame barely visible beneath the heavy glasses. She stole a glance at Ning Chen with her almond-shaped eyes, but quickly lowered her head again. It was clear that she was nervous.
Ning Chen observed Xiao Shao's little movements but did not respond to her; instead, he simply nodded slightly at Chi Mu Jiu, indicating that he was ready to take orders.
"Alright, the initial planning for the Sih family will be entrusted to both of you," Chi Mu Jiu said calmly as she stood up. Seizing the moment while Chi Qi Yun was still regaining her composure, she decided it was time to pay a proper visit to her family over the next few days. As for the Lei family, now was not the right time to confront them directly. Furthermore, the forces behind the Lei family had yet to be thoroughly investigated.
"Yes, Madam!"
As they exited the building, the two security guards at the entrance looked at Chi Mu Jiu with newfound respect. They had been held in place for nearly an hour, not daring to move an inch—not because of Chi Mu Jiu's presence alone, but due to the dozens of men outside who had made them feel as if their skin was crawling under their watchful gaze.
