Chapter 252 - Gathering the Allies

Zhao Xiaolei walked up to Lan Yanran with her dress in hand.

“Hi! I’ve heard of you. I am Zhao Xiaolei, your sister’s deskmate.”

Zhao Xiaolei was gentle and generous, extending her fair hand to shake Lan Yanran’s.

Lan Yanran wasn’t scared at all. He shook her hands lightly and smiled.

“I think I saw you at school. You helped my sister a lot. I haven’t thanked you yet.”

Zhao Xiaolei was a little surprised, she covered her mouth and laughed.

“This is my duty. Anran is soft, weak, and pretty. She is the easiest to bully.”

“Xiaolei, the Young Master of the Qin Family is here, let’s go take a look.”

Zhao Guoliang walked over and spoke softly.

“Yanran, I’ll go take a look. I’ll get your autograph when I’m back.”

Zhao Xiaolei smiled and left with Zhao Guoliang.

“You brat! You said you didn’t like him, but in the end, you went to strike up a conversation with him. My son-in-law can’t be an actor. He must be from a wealthy family and not cause any trouble.”

Zhao Guoliang reminded her carefully. He had seen Lan Yanran. Although he was fair and clean and looked very handsome, he was still an actor and wouldn’t be of much help to the Zhao Family’s business. His daughter must be married into a rich family, so how could she be related to an actor?

“Got it, you old man are so naggy.”

Zhao Xiaolei was getting impatient.

They arrived before Qin Tian.

Zhao Guoliang smiled.

“Old Master Qin Hao, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

He raised the glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes narrowed into a smile.

“Mr. Zhao, it’s my first time back in the country and I’m here to attend your family banquet. It’s really rare.”

The old man in front had a white beard, silver hair, eagle-like eyes, and a sharp aura. He was full of strength.

“Let me introduce you, this is my daughter, Zhao Xiaolei, and this is my son, Zhao Han. I’m about to abdicate and my son will take over my job. I hope Old Master Qin will support him.”

Zhao Guoliang pulled Zhao Han over and introduced him. Qin Hao was a fat piece of meat, it wouldn’t be wrong to get close to him.

“Hello, Uncle!”

The two of them called out to Qin Hao in unison with smiles on their faces.

“Mr. Zhao’s children are all good-looking, especially your daughter who is so beautiful. This is my son, Qin Tian and my daughter, Qin Xue. They are not as outstanding as Mr. Zhao’s children.”

Qin Hao continued humbly.

“You youngsters have something to talk about, go ahead and have a chat. I have something to say to Mr. Zhao.”

Qin Hao deliberately sent the young people around him away, wanting to say something to Zhao Guoliang.

The young people beside him left slowly and Qin Hao spoke.

“Mr. Zhao, you should know that my company has just been transferred from abroad and doesn’t have a market in the country. The Mo Family is the biggest star in Rong City. Mo Jinrong is young and in just a few years, he has brought the Mo Family to the world, becoming one of the top enterprises in the world. Their market share in Rong City is also the largest. Therefore, I’m wondering if Mr. Zhao, if we join forces, can we snatch the Mo family’s market? How about we split it evenly?”

Qin Hao smiled as he drank a glass of red wine.

The Qin Family was, after all, one of the top three enterprises in the world. For a small company like the Zhao Family, it was an honor to be associated with the Qin Family. He had offered an olive branch and he had no reason to disagree, so Qin Hao was full of confidence.

“Mr. Qin, Mr. Mo will be coming to the banquet in a while. After all, he is a powerful figure in the financial world. They are also a leading company in Rong City, so it is undoubtedly a risk if you want to divide up their market. We all know what kind of person Mo Jinrong is. His methods are ruthless and if you want to steal the juicy meat in his mouth, you will be bruised all over. The Zhao Family is a small enterprise and we don’t have the ability to compete with the Mo Family.”

Zhao Guoliang declined politely. He really did not dare to compete with the Mo Family for the market. Even with the Qin Family backing him, he did not have the courage. After all, the Qin Family was not stable themselves, so how could they protect him?

“Mr. Zhao, you must be good at taking risks in business. Those who are braver will earn more money. The Mo Family is just a paper tiger. I have investigated them and in the past few years, their profits haven’t grown much. Almost all the markets in Rong City are theirs. Overall, they have stagnated. As long as our innovation surpasses the Mo Corporation, it will only be a matter of time before we take over their market.”

Qin Hao was very confident. After all, he had a large number of innovators under him, which was enough to fight against the Mo Corporation.

“Mr. Qin, I don’t think we should take the risk. I just stepped down from the position and my son is still young. It’s good if we can cooperate with Mo Corporation, if we can’t cooperate, we should try our best not to become enemies. It wouldn’t benefit either of us. It seems that you don’t understand Mo Jinrong well. They have stopped because they are already saturated and have no more room to improve. The Qin Family just arrived in Rong City, so we should wait and see how the enemy and their allies are distinguished…”

Zhao Guoliang’s company wasn’t large, but he knew Mo Jinrong would either become a partner or a passerby. He didn’t want to be an enemy of him.

“Mr. Zhao is right.”

Qin Hao was a little surprised. He never expected Zhao Guoliang to reject him. It seemed that their first alliance had failed..
