what I should do.""Then I'll leave it to you." With that, Shangguan Shishi hung up.Holding his phone, Chen Xinguang stared at Wang Zheng’s face in a daze. Could this young man really be the senior vi...Chapter 925: Arm Wrestling

The Young Master Qiao is truly the Young Master Qiao; no matter what occasion or who he deals with, he can freely switch his role! He's grandiose at times, humorous at others, and sharp sometimes. It’s indeed rare to find someone like him.

Just now when he teased the Fourth Young Master Qiao Shangwang with a casual joke, it already put him in a favorable position against Wang Zheng while also livening up the atmosphere. These things seem simple on the surface; one can mimic them deliberately, but to do so effortlessly requires great skill.

Thus at this moment, many people looked at Wang Zheng with pity and sympathy, of course mixed with ridicule. Most of them were Hong Kong residents who naturally subconsciously took Qiao Shanxing's side. Qiao Shanxing was influential in Hong Kong like the rising sun; now he had solidified his position as the top young generation figure. As for the so-called vice president of Grand Fusion International from mainland China, Wang Zheng, he was just a high-level employee. How big a splash could he make in Hong Kong

Seemingly oblivious to everyone's expressions around him, Wang Zheng didn't mind Qiao Shanxing’s words and instead looked straight at him, saying, "So you're not willing to help then"

"It's not that I won't help; it's just that this matter is beyond my capability." Qiao Shanxing made a gesture for Wang Zheng and Shangguan Shishi to take their seats. "Today's banquet was specially arranged for Miss Shangguan’s visit to Hong Kong. We only talk about emotions at our wine party, not business."

Wang Zheng sneered, “Young Master Qiao, you really can speak from a position of privilege, huh I wonder if you would still be as calm as now if we switched roles.”

This Qiao family visit is no ordinary one. After initial overconfidence, some people often lose their sense of direction. If the Qiao family wants to challenge the Shangguan family, they must have sufficient strength. However, after years of focused development, especially in this small piece of land known as Hong Kong, the Qiao family indeed has the qualifications to go head-to-head with the Shangguan family.

From their first meeting, Wang Zheng recognized that dealing with this guy would be far from easy. With such a formidable opponent watching closely, each step they take is full of danger and could easily lead them into a trap. But Wang Zheng isn't some green rookie who can be intimidated by the Qiao family name after years of enduring wind and rain.

According to his nature, even if it were the Jade Emperor who irritated him, he would fly up to heaven and slap him.

"I'm sorry, I cannot imagine such a scenario," Qian Shanxing shook his head. He then took two glasses of red wine from a servant beside him, handing one to Shangguan PoPo while keeping the other for himself.

Wang Zheng and Wei Wentao were left ignored on the side without any servants bringing them drinks. Anyone with eyes could see that they had been slighted by Qian Shanxing, yet these two seemed completely oblivious, showing no signs of displeasure. Particularly Wang Zheng, who still wore a faint smile on his lips as if lost in thought.

For those who observe closely, they would notice Wang Zheng's right hand slightly bent and placed at the seam of his pants, with his thumb gently rubbing against the middle joint of his index finger—a subconscious habit he has when waiting for something.

What exactly is he waiting for

"Miss Shishi, I respectfully represent the Qiao family to express our sincerest welcome for your visit once again." Qiao Shanxing raised his glass of red wine and gently tapped it with上官詩詩's.

However, just as Qiao Shanxing and 上官詩詩 were about to take a sip, a person who looked like a secretary walked straight up to them, his face full of urgency. He said to Qiao Shanxing, "Young Master, I have an urgent matter to report."

Seeing that 上官詩詩 was sipping her wine and this subordinate came over to disturb her, Qiao Shanxing felt it was too rude. Therefore, he said unhappily, "What could be more important than welcoming Miss Shishi You go back first, I'll talk to you later."

"But..." The secretary wanted to say something more, but Qiao Shanwang pulled him over and whispered angrily, "Secretary Liu, what are you doing rushing up like this at a time like this"

"But there's really an important matter!" Secretary Liu unwillingly pulled Qiao Shanwang out of the crowd and whispered, "Something big has happened!"

Qiao Shanwang frowned. He vaguely felt something was amiss.

"What major event" "Our company's two largest commercial real estate projects on the mainland have been sealed by relevant authorities for incomplete registration procedures. They've ordered us to stop work and can only resume once all formalities are completed!" Secretary Liu’s eyes were filled with shock: "And such an incident has never happened before on the continent!"

Jiao Shanwang frowned even more tightly. When he glanced towards Wang Zheng, the latter seemed to sense something and smiled back at him.

"Could it be that he did this" Jiao Shanwang was extremely puzzled but didn't report this matter to his elder brother immediately. Instead, he asked: "How long does a work suspension order usually last"

Secretary Liu said with a gloomy expression, "It depends on how soon we can complete the necessary procedures." "If it's short, it might take about a month. If it takes longer, I have no idea. It all depends on how cooperative and efficient the relevant departments will be. If they are determined to obstruct this project, then it would be incredibly simple."

Jiao Shanwang didn't comment on Secretary Liu's words. He was aware of the situation in mainland China; the power of decision-making lay entirely with the relevant departments. Even though they were highly desirable out-of-town investors, if there were orders from above, their operations would be hindered.

Currently, the real estate market on the Chinese mainland was still very active. These two real estate projects were Jiao family's key investments this year. They had already spent over 20 billion yuan just for purchasing land in the early stages, and now construction was halfway through, with a total investment close to one hundred billion yuan. Although this amount didn't significantly impact the Jiao family’s overall assets, it still consumed a considerable portion of their liquid funds.

If the project were ordered to stop work, leaving nearly 100 billion yuan idle, no one could afford such a waste! Even an entity as large and influential as the Jiao family wouldn't want to bear such losses. Every day that passed would result in massive financial loss!

But what was even more critical than these monetary losses was that if delays led to significant damages for these projects, which were initiated by Qiao Shanxing against strong opposition, his standing within the Jiao family would be severely challenged!red a standard military salute in Hu Bin’s honor!"Captain, I'm here to report! Even if the team is gone, you are still my captain. If... if you're willing to accept me!" Hu Bin's voice was filled with...
