d at him pitifully. Please, don't talk about her anymore, it's not a big deal!"Answer well!""Ugh, she pouted, thinking to herself, *If I had known better, I wouldn't have mentioned my sore shoulders!*..."What's going on!" Rong Ling pushed open the glass door of the office and strode in.

A handsome young man with golden highlights in his hair cheered, propping himself up on the table with one hand and effortlessly leaping over the back of the desk to greet them.

"Big brother!"

>That voice, it's the man who just called Rong Ling on his phone.

Seeing Rong Ling followed by Lin Meng, Yu Xu was taken aback. He quickly glanced at Lin Meng and then asked with some surprise, "Big brother, who is this!" Rong Ling has always been clear about public and private matters. At such a crucial moment, how could he bring an outsider!

Feng Ling's attitude was very indifferent. "You don't need to know!"

This shows that this is an unimportant person, there's no need to introduce him to the brothers.

Yu Xu smiled faintly and called out loudly, "Susan, please greet this lady!"

Immediately, a strikingly beautiful woman with a model's figure emerged, smiling brightly at Lin Meng and inviting her to sit in the next room. Lin Meng looked at Rong Ling in confusion, but saw his side profile as cold and indifferent as a sculpture carved by a knife. Her heart felt a pang, her red lips opening and closing several times before she swallowed all her sighs. With drooping eyelids tinged with sadness, she followed Susan out.

Rong Ling cast a glance, his brow furrowing imperceptibly as he shouted, "Wait!"

Yu Xu was stunned, Susan was stunned too.

"Susan, get this lady a glass of water!"

Susan, as a perfect secretary, immediately regained her composure and smiled, going to pour water for Lin Meng.

Rong Ling looked at Lin Meng, who was standing there at a loss. He pointed to an empty sofa and said, "Sit there and wait for me!"

Lin Meng's mouth twitched into a smile, she didn't even know what she was laughing at, but her steps were light as she walked towards the sofa. She gently sank onto it.

Yu Xu's expression turned strange as he met Rong Ling's gaze. His face immediately changed, becoming serious, and he got down to business.

"Big brother, our negotiations with Lao Paozi have always been smooth. But today, he suddenly demanded we raise the wholesale price or else call it off. On the surface, he raised the wholesale price of most goods by 0.5%, still seeming willing to do business with us. But I think he's threatening us, acting like a bully because he thinks he's the big crab, taking advantage of the situation to raise prices. 0.5% isn't a small amount. I think he's not really interested in doing business with us anymore!"

What moves are there from the big merchants!

Dashi, a large-scale department store chain, is considered the leading figure in J city's retail industry. Its dominance has remained unshakeable for decades!

Yu Xu curled his lips, a sinister look flashing across his face. "Humph, I think Luo Fatty's sudden boldness must be due to a powerful merchant backing him up!"

"Are you sure"

Yu Xu nodded. "I've had people look into it!"

Rong Ling sat down, pondered for a moment, then let out a cold smile. His bright black eyes were fierce, like a leopard in the jungle.

"As a newcomer, I initially intended to show some leniency to the merchants here, hoping to make their lives a bit more comfortable. However, this Luo Fatty and DaShang are incredibly disrespectful. Even when I offered them some meat soup, they refused! Hmph, well then, let's just give them nothing at all and let them drink the north wind!" Old Four, immediately halt all negotiations with Luo Fatty and resume procuring goods through our original channels."

“But that would greatly increase the cost!”

Rong Ling shook her head and chuckled mischievously. “Fourth brother, this person is alive, and the road is naturally alive too. Tell your people to open a few more paths based on the existing route. It’s better to rely on yourself than to ask others. Once the new paths are opened and smooth, the cost will naturally go down.”

Yu Xu let out a cry. "Oh, dear, I have to pull an all-nighter again!" He didn't want to stay up late, so he had hoped Rong Ling could come up with another plan to suppress that Luo Pangzi.

Rong Ling looked at Yu Xu, his handsome face full of ruthlessness. "If you don't want to do this, then I'll send you to Africa to replace the fifth brother. Or, you can go to Vietnam and replace the sixth brother!"

“No! Don’t!” Yu Xu was astonished and exclaimed, rushing towards Rong Ling with a flattering smile. “Big Brother, what are you saying This is just a small matter, I can handle it easily! Big Brother, watch carefully, I guarantee I'll handle this perfectly, leaving that Luo Fatty speechless and unable to complain!”

Rong Ling coldly added, "Also, within a year, knock Dashi down from its throne! Within three years, make it disappear!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Yu Xu said with a mischievous grin. "As long as big brother gives the word, my younger brother would gladly go through fire and water!"

Their conversation was light and casual, as if they were discussing a war movie. But Lin Meng, sitting beside them, listened with a pounding heart. This was the first time she realized Rong Ling's strength, ruthlessness, and coldness. He was like a proud emperor, so easily uttering the words "make it disappear," so casually deciding the fate of others. This was unfamiliar to her, and it terrified her! What exactly did Rong Ling do What kind of past did he have How many friends like this young man did he have! ... And so on, Lin Meng realized that she truly knew nothing about him.

This is when she truly understood why that young man had invited her out earlier. This is when she realized that she was just a "playmate," and this is when she realized why it was unnecessary for her to know!

My heart, it aches with a dull pain!

But, she couldn't feel wronged, and she had no reason to feel wronged!

This is the reality, this is the deal! You want, I want, so there's no room for complaint.
