“everyone hasn’t started eating yet. it’s not good for me to eat early.” despite saying that, her hand had already taken the meat skewers. yin xun put them into her mouth and said, “yes, it’s not bad. it’s a familiar taste.” it was as delicious as the skewers she ate at fang yao’s house.

“by the way, i came to look for you to talk about serious matters.” yin xun finished the entire skewer before she remembered what she wanted to say. “now that si fan doesn’t have any real power in blue fox, the new leaders are all sly old foxes. they’re smarter than si fan. now that blue fox is under their control, i have a feeling that they will first recover and adjust things in blue fox. then, their next step will be to deal with xintao.”

fang yao flipped the roasted meat skewer in his hand and asked, “what do you think they’ll do?”

“xintao is on the right track now. if we face them head-on, they won’t be able to gain any advantage. 1 think they will try to find xintao’s weakness. if you’re the decision-maker of blue fox, how would you deal with xintao?” the best way to avoid being targeted was to think from the enemy’s perspective.

this was how business battles worked. you could not just improve yourself. you had to think about how to deal with others and find a way to prevent your company from suffering such a situation.

“if it were me…” fang yao looked at the meat in his hand and thought for a moment. he analyzed xintao’s current situation and slowly said, “delivery. i’ll start with delivery.”

yin xun clapped her hands together and said with a smile, “as expected, you’re thinking the same thing as me. there are two delivery systems in xintao now. xintao express is our own, so there’s no need to worry. the only concern is ordinary express delivery. the ordinary express delivery works for blue fox and xintao at the same time. as long as they control the shares of other express delivery companies and forcefully increase the price, it’ll be very disadvantageous for us. although i’ve helped the boss before, 1 can’t say whether they’ll be bought over by benefits in the end.”

fang yao seemed to know what yin xun meant. “so you want to buy over lechang, the ordinary express delivery provider, in advance.”

“that’s right.” yin xun smiled and nodded. “this is also to ensure that xintao won’t be affected. moreover, you’ve seen the turnover of xintao’s express delivery. although lechang is an ordinary express delivery, it uses a lot of people and the costs are low. a little bit goes a long way. the final profit they get is also very considerable.”

fang yao looked a little helpless. he asked yin xun, “you said all this because you want money, right? tell me, how much do you want this time?”

“don’t worry. when the year-end dividend comes, you’ll know how great your decision was to choose me.” yin xun smiled ingratiatingly.

“choosing you was indeed the right decision.” fang yao looked at yin xun with a deep gaze.

unfortunately, yin xun’s attention was not focused on him from the beginning. she was only staring at the roasted meat in fang yao’s hand.

there was no denying that fang yao’s culinary skills were comparable to some chefs. yin xun’s stomach growled again when she saw the meat skewers sizzling on the fire and the rich fragrance assaulting her nose.

fang yao sighed slightly. he knew that yin xun’s mind was filled with nothing but food and work. it was almost impossible for her to react to other things on her own.

“remember to give me the report when you get back,” fang yao reminded yin xun.

yin xun had always been very proactive. after the trip ended, the first thing she did when she returned to the company was to look for lechang’s boss to discuss this matter.

initially, she thought that it would take some time to negotiate, but surprisingly, lechang’s boss agreed instantly to sell all his shares to yin xun. fang yao was already prepared to give yin xun the required money.

yin xun showed the contract to fang yao, who promptly transferred the money over.

after settling this matter, yin xun had nothing to worry about.

however, mi jin, who had been staring at blue fox, realized that something was wrong. he came over to look for yin xun. “president yin, there is something wrong with blue fox’s situation recently.”

“what’s wrong?” yin xun asked.

“although blue fox is at its lowest point now, it’s also a time when we need people the most. i don’t know what’s going on over there, but they’re actually starting to lay off people in large numbers, including the capable employees.” mi jin frowned.

this situation was too abnormal. if they fired ordinary employees, it could be understood that it was to reduce the company’s expenses. however, he even fired great talents. could it be that si fan did not want the company to continue operating?

that was impossible. it was clear how much si fan valued blue fox. he had worked hard to establish blue fox all the way back.. how could he give up on it so easily?
