Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

The entire Bin Cheng business district was shocked.

It had been a long time since something like this had happened.

The two big companies went to war. Zhao Shijie had publicly announced the boycotting, forcing other companies to take sides.

Moreover, he was the richest man in Bin Cheng.

In the comments below the video, countless netizens criticized Zhou Catering Group.

“We’re done for! As a bystander, I declare that Zhou Catering Group is finished!”

“Yes, for sure. None of the companies that Zhao Shijie fought against has been able to put up a fight.”

“Can anyone tell me what happened?”

“Maybe Zhao Shijie has taken a fancy to Zhou Wanqiu. I heard that Zhou Wanqiu is very beautiful. I guess Zhao Shijie failed to woo her and hates her now.”

The comments section quickly went haywire.

However, most of the netizens were still analyzing what happened.

Most people thought that the Zhou family was finished.

Zhang You and the others looked at each other.

Liu Pan looked at Su Chen nervously and asked, “Su Chen, what’s going on? Is our company really going to go bankrupt?”

“This might be worse than what the Health Department did to us!”

“Don’t be anxious. Things haven’t gotten that bad yet!” Su Chen said in a deep voice.

At this moment, a staff member came to the door. It was a young lady.

Is Su Chen back?

Su Chen said, “I’m here!”

“CEO Zhou asked me to inform you to prepare for the meeting in the conference room immediately!”

Su Chen nodded.

With such a major event happening, Zhou Wanqiu would definitely have a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Very quickly…

The meeting room was filled with people.

As the chairman of the company, Zhou Pingjiang sat in the main seat.

Beside him was the CEO, Zhou Wanqiu.

All the department heads quickly arrived. Their expressions were severe.

Some also looked flustered, and they whispered to each other.

Everyone knew that Zhou Catering Group was in danger.

Fortunately, after the incident with the Health Department, Zhou Catering Group had kicked out Gao Renhuai and the other vermin.

Most of the company’s shares were now in the hands of the Zhou family.

A small portion of them were also in the hands of the Zhou family’s loyal supporters.

Therefore, although everyone was panicking, no one took the opportunity to cause trouble.

But even so, the bad news came one after another.

“CEO Zhou, bad news. Our food street project has been suspended!”

“Chairman Zhou, the few construction site canteens that we were negotiating with said that they do not want to work with Zhou Catering Group anymore!”

“There’s still our ingredients department. We’ve got a lot of suppliers. They want to stop working with us too!”

“And our fast food chain…”

“The Wei family also called us…”

The bad news kept coming.

In the conference room, the person-in-charge brought up the matter of the ‘manifest’.

Zhou Pingjiang and Zhou Wanqiu looked at each other and their brows furrowed.

Everyone else looked unhappy as well.

Meanwhile…

In a luxurious villa, Zhao Shijie looked smug.

He Zhentian respectfully raised his wine glass and said flatteringly, “Young Master Zhao, I really admire you. With just one sentence, all cooperation with Zhou Catering Group has been suspended!”

“You really can turn the business world of Bin Cheng upside down with one word!”

Zhao Shijie was full of pride, but he said with a smile, “It’s not all because of me. It’s because of my father’s power!”

“Your father’s power is also yours. Like father, like son!” He Zhentian said respectfully.

“This time, Zhou Catering Group will probably go bankrupt in a few days!”

“When that happens, all the enterprises in Bin Cheng will know how powerful you really are!”

Hearing this flattery, Zhao Shijie’s felt much better.

“Haha! At least you have good sense, old man. You should’ve joined me long ago!” Zhao Shijie laughed.

He Zhentian became even more respectful.

At this moment, in another hotel room…

Another group of people were excited to hear this.

It was none other than Gao Min, Gao Renhuai, Hao Tiancong, and the others who had been kicked out of Zhou Catering Group.

Gao Min was extremely excited.

“The son of the richest man, Zhao Shijie, has completely banned Zhou Catering

Group. I think that little b*tch, Zhou Wanqiu, is going to cry! Hahaha!”

She was thrilled to hear that Zhou Wanqiu was in trouble.

“Well done!” Hao Tiancong sneered. “Those b*stards of the Zhou family didn’t let us redeem our shares back then. Now, they’re going to go bankrupt!”

Zhang Zhongcheng looked relieved. “Fortunately, we didn’t redeem our shares at that time. Otherwise, we would be in trouble too!”

All the former shareholders rejoiced.

Now, they were doing everything they could to make Zhou Catering Group collapse.

Only in this way could they justify their actions back then.

Otherwise, they would be ashamed.

Gao Renhuai smiled menacingly and said loudly, “Everyone, did you see that? This is what happened to those who stayed loyal to Zhou Catering Group!”

“Now, the richest man in Bin Cheng is targeting them. The Zhou family is completely hopeless!”

“If everyone believes in me, we’ll go to the Zhao family together. This way, we can also take advantage of Zhou Catering Group’s downfall!”

Hao Tiancong frowned and said, “We also want to follow the Zhao family, but they don’t like us at all!”

The other small shareholders also nodded.

“Don’t worry, everyone. I know He Zhentian, the CEO of He Catering Group. If he were to introduce us, we would definitely be able to get on the Zhao family’s good side!”

Everyone was overjoyed and raised their glasses to celebrate.

For a moment, the entire business community in Bin Cheng seemed to be waiting for Zhou Catering Group to fall.

In the conference room of Zhou Catering Group…

Everyone became more and more depressed.

News of the termination of cooperation came one after another, and everyone’s hearts slowly sank.

Zhao Chongling was the richest man in Bin City, and he was involved in many industries.

Many large corporations in Bin Cheng had cooperated with the Zhao family.

It was easy to choose between Zhao Chongling and Zhou Catering Group.

Once the Zhao family gave the order, they immediately chose to side with them.

Even the Zhou family’s reliable partners might need to choose the Zhao family’s side to keep themselves afloat.

In the face of the Zhao family’s threat, they could only reluctantly cut off their cooperation with the Zhou family to avoid offending the Zhao family.

This was the power of the richest man in Bin Cheng!

Everyone was discussing anxiously.

However, most of them wanted to apologize to the Zhao family and hope that they would forgive them.

After all, no one could think of a way to escape this predicament. He was the richest man in Bin Cheng after all.

Zhou Wanqiu frowned as she listened to all the discussions.

She knew very well that apologizing would not help at all.

Last night, his grandfather had already prepared to compensate Zhao Shijie too million yuan, but he did not accept it.

It was useless to talk about this now.

“What should we do?”

Zhou Wanqiu was anxious, but she suddenly glanced at Su Chen.

At this moment, Su Chen was sitting on a chair casually, watching the discussion of the others in the conference room with interest. It seemed that he did not take the Zhao family’s ban seriously at all.

Thinking about how Su Chen had asked for leave today to “fool around”, Zhou Wanqiu was furious.

Zhou Wanqiu coughed.

The meeting room instantly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Zhou Wanqiu.

However, Zhou Wanqiu stared at Su Chen and said, “Su Chen, I want to hear your opinion. Can you think of a way to help us deal with the Zhao family’s ban?”

Su Chen was stunned.

He didn’t expect Zhou Wanqiu to ask him.

Zhou Pingjiang was also a little confused. He did not know what his daughter was thinking.

As for the others in the meeting room, their eyes were filled with disbelief.

After all, they had heard of Su Chen before.

Even though he was Zhou Wanqiu’s secretary, it was just a position arranged by Zhou Rongchang.

Zhou Wanqiu never asked him for anything.

The HR manager, Li Feng, said disdainfully, “CEO Zhou, Su Chen is just from a village. He might not even know who the richest man in Bin Cheng is. What can he do?”

Everyone pursed their lips and tried to hold back their laughter.

At this moment…

Su Chen stood up and spoke indifferently.

“I’m sorry, but I do know a way!”
