Some families rejoice while others worry. The Ning family and the Cheng family are plotting and planning for their descendants, while Jiang Conghe, filled with frustration, returned home to find that Chiang Qing had not yet come back, and his face grew dark.
"Has your sister not returned?" he asked Chiang Tian, who had just hung up the phone.
"No." Chiang Tian replied angrily, "Dad, you really need to do something about my sister this time. She’s gotten us into a terrible mess!"
Due to one of Chiang Qing’s actions, both his business and the Loo family’s business have been greatly affected. Some negotiations for collaborations were directly canceled, and already established deals were not renewed.
That Zhou Jun and Ning Ge are truly ruthless, partnering with their childhood friends to sow discord, leading many of those with established backgrounds to cut ties with Chiang Tian and the Chiang family.
This isn’t just some childish spat or tantrum; that bastard Zhou Jun outright declared their intention to squeeze the Loo family and Chiang family out of the Capital’s elite circle.
In short, they’re saying they’re not playing with them anymore and are boycotting them.
Oh, so the Chiang family and Loo family have strong connections too, do they? Fine, then it’s a standoff.
Without a confrontation, you wouldn’t know, but once it’s on, the disparity becomes glaringly obvious.
The faction Ning Ge is part of generally comes from families of Old Red Army soldiers, second and third generation Red descendants, and those they intermarried with are either prestigious families or wealthy businessmen. Through several generations, these connections have long been intertwined beyond separation.
Even if broken down, how can the Chiang and Loo families compare?
They are akin to founding heroes, but the Loo family, despite having seemingly wide connections now, doesn’t have much of a background. Old Master Loo, the head of the house, was merely a peddler in the streets in the past, rising through some cunning. What great background is there to speak of?
Looking at Jiang Conghe, he too was just a poor young man, though he came from a military background, had some unsavory points in his past, even divorcing his first wife to climb the Loo family ladder. Truth be told, he rose through the Yue family and has now reached the rank of commander, but how can a new faction compare to a family with generations of accumulated wealth and influence?
