Chapter 74 - 74 74 The Root is Severed - Part 1
74: Chapter 74: The Root is Severed – Part 1 74: Chapter 74: The Root is Severed – Part 1 “Here’s a present for you, so you won’t be able to harm women anymore!”
Xiao Chen stomped down.
Lin Yu, who was in a coma, let out a piercing scream.
He was drenched in cold sweat from the pain.
He was ruined.
Liu Xu was ruined as well.
Two grown men had become less than men.
They both liked to toy with women, but now they had received their punishment.
“Take them away!”
Xiao Chen looked coldly at the men who had followed Lin Yu and Third Young Master Liu and said, “Linhai does not welcome those who do not follow the rules.
I’d better not see you again.”
Several bodyguards hurried to lift the two crippled young masters into the car and fled in haste.
Xiao Chen, however, felt a sense of satisfaction.
But after all, it was Liu Xu and Lin Yu who were beaten up.
One was the young master of the Liu Family, the other the young master of the Lin Family.
Many people worried whether Xinmeng Group would run into bigger troubles moving forward.
And whether they could rise again in their careers?
However, one thing made them completely abandon such wild thoughts.
Jiang Meng announced a major decision during the board meeting.
“All employee salaries will be increased by 10%, and in addition, to reward their loyalty,
a Loyalty Award will be established!
There’s no cap on the number of awards; anyone who stayed with the company through tough times is eligible for the Loyalty Award.
The Loyalty Award is three months’ salary for an employee!”
This meant that those who had always believed in Xinmeng Group and had stayed on,
not only had their salaries increased.
But they also received the Loyalty Award right away, which was equivalent to three months’ salary.
For regular employees, this was a huge prize.
Why would they entertain any more wild thoughts?
As for those who left Xinmeng Group to join Liu Pharmaceutical, even if they begged and pleaded to come back now, it would be impossible.
Xinmeng Group has a strict policy against traitors; they are all blacklisted and never hired again.
“Mengmeng, that was a smart move, not only did it stabilize the morale, but it also enhanced Xinmeng Group’s reputation,
as well as your own prestige.
A good boss won’t squabble with employees over petty profits.
I wasn’t wrong about you.”
Back in the office, Xiao Chen gave Jiang Meng a thumbs up.
“Stop praising me, this was all my mom’s reminder,”
Jiang Meng shook her head and said, “I’ve still got a long way to go.”
“The rewarding has been done, now it’s time to deal with those who need to be dealt with,”
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
“It’s already in process,”
Jiang Meng replied: “My mom and I can handle these operations, you don’t need to help,
I know you’re capable, my lifesaver.”
Then, she turned on the office computer and started playing the news.
In the news, the equipment manufacturer who took a hundred million in equipment deposits from Xinmeng Group but refused to deliver was undergoing bankruptcy liquidation.
The facility was bought by Xiao Corporation at a very low price.
That included many production machines.
The equipment wanted by Xinmeng Group was quickly sent over.
Xiao Chen thought this was quite good.
In supporting Xinmeng Group, opportunities were also created for Xiao Corporation to make some money.
It was a good idea.
As for those manufacturers of glass bottles and cardboard boxes, they were initially small factories that thought they had nothing to fear with the backing of the Lin Family.
However, the problem was that Lin Yu made the decisions without the Lin Family’s knowledge.
So they were not concerned.
As a result, the owners of these factories came in person to apologize.
Jiang Meng and Liu Xin refused to see any of them.
These factories really aren’t worth much; it’s these people who think too highly of themselves.
Not only that, but they were also sued by Xinmeng Group.
After paying compensation, the factory couldn’t keep going.
Xiao Corporation took the opportunity to step in once more, acquiring and merging it with the equipment factory to form “Linhai Equipment Manufacturing Group.”
In this way, if the Lin Family ever dreams of choking Xinmeng Group in the future, it would indeed be just a dream.
Instead, Xiao Corporation and Xinmeng Group can benefit each other and make money together.
A storm seemed to have ended.
But in truth, it was just the beginning.
Xinmeng Group was out of trouble, but the Liu Family was about to be unlucky.
Smart people could see the situation in Linhai now.
They all began to realign themselves.
Otherwise, once the Liu Family collapsed, they would suffer as well.
On the high-speed train headed to the provincial capital, Bai Qing folded the newspaper in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed.
“What a move by Xinmeng Group, what a move by Xiao Chen!
I really underestimated them.”
Bai Qing had originally planned it perfectly; the Bai Family would forcefully enter the scene when the Liu Family and Xinmeng Group were both significantly weakened.
They could then take over the Linhai market in one fell swoop.
Many families in the provincial capital looked down on the market of third-tier cities like Linhai, but Bai Qing valued it highly.
Not only did he value it, but he also felt it was crucial to seize it.
The making of a business family clan cannot do without solid foundations.
Unfortunately, the Liu Family was just too weak.
In such a short time, they were completely defeated by Xinmeng Group.
“Boss, what should we do next?”
“Don’t call me boss, call me President Bai.”
Bai Qing didn’t like being called boss; he always felt it was a title for the prodigal.
“Alright, President Bai, Young Master President Bai, what should we do next?”
Bai Qing took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go back to the provincial capital.
Things won’t just end like this.
Lin Yu is the Lin Family’s only grandson, treasured like a jewel.
Now that he has been cut down, that old man will definitely turn Linhai upside down.
This war is far from over; even the Liu Family isn’t fatally wounded.
Let’s just watch and wait; it’s best to be the oriole that watches the mantis stalk the cicada!”
While Bai Qing was returning to the provincial capital, he also took along the seriously injured Lin Yu.
The Bai Family might not be as strong as the Lin Family, but they still needed to bide their time and flatter for now.
Meanwhile, Linhai was also full of undercurrents.
Langya Fund and World Unionpay’s Linhai Bank surprisingly gave Xinmeng Group a huge loan at the same time.
And they signed a long-term cooperation agreement.
This set off a storm in the Linhai business community.
Linhai Bank is the largest and best-performing bank in Linhai.
Backed by World Unionpay, with deep pockets, they have never taken the initiative to seek cooperation with anyone.
It was always others coming to them for cooperation, then they would choose their partners.
This time, however, they took the initiative to approach Xinmeng Group.
Anyone with insight could tell that there must be a powerful figure behind Xinmeng Group.
And then there’s Langya Fund, with a registered capital of a hundred billion.
Its capital is incredibly robust.
Headquartered in Capital City.
Other places are still without branches, yet it set up a point especially in Linhai.
And chose to collaborate with Xinmeng of all groups.
This is extremely thought-provoking.
Together with these events, the rumors of Xinmeng Group having a powerful backer almost became a fact.
Add to that, the enterprises and factories that had offended Xinmeng Group were mostly acquired or, in some cases, their people even went to prison.
The winds in Linhai seem to blow a storm for Xinmeng Group.
The Liu Family, however, had completely lowered its flag.
As the stance between the Liu Family and Xinmeng Group emerges, many have to make their choices at this time.
Otherwise, they’d have to wait to face the music later on.
After all, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.
What do you think?
