Chapter 2191: Chapter 2192: Psychological Warfare
After spending a night at White Rose’s place, Ye Xunhuan went to Tenglong Group with her the next day.
Currently, Ye Xunhuan didn’t see any advantage in hiding his relationship with White Rose. Additionally, Qin Fangbin had informed him that the King’s network of spies was far more extensive than he had imagined, while the King’s information network was also stronger than Ye Xunhuan had expected.
Who knows if the King was already aware of Ye Xunhuan’s relationship with White Rose? If the King knew, then hiding it served no purpose.
Even if, on the unlikely chance, the King didn’t know, letting outsiders know wouldn’t be a big deal either.
After all, Ye Xunhuan had already amassed enough strength.
So, Ye Xunhuan went to Tenglong Group with White Rose.
Tenglong Group was located in the CBD of Yanjing City, housed in a skyscraper with over forty floors, and was one of the leading enterprises in Huaxia, with a market value in trillions!
Although the Yan family’s downfall had a significant impact on Tenglong Group, one must remember that a thin camel is still bigger than a horse. Even with the Yan family’s collapse, Tenglong Group still stood firm in the capital.
Previously, the Xiao family and Qin Rumeng almost took over Tenglong Group and caused significant losses, but it wasn’t enough to damage the group’s vitality critically.
Furthermore, it’s unclear who showed up from the Yan family, making Yan Jingchu willingly take a back seat and hand over Tenglong Group to them.
Most importantly, this person’s appearance made the Xiao family immediately cease all actions, becoming completely inactive and silent.
This left many people, who were eager to watch the spectacle, quite disappointed. However, alongside the disappointment, everyone became intrigued by this person who emerged from the Yan family.
Who exactly was this mysterious figure, who, upon appearing, made the Xiao family cease their efforts to eliminate the Yan family?
Many investigated, but ultimately turned up empty-handed.
Moreover, many celebrities and magnates in the capital received a call from Tenglong Group, urging them to come to the group today, otherwise, they would bear the consequences.
This threatening tone made most people quite unhappy, filled with anger, yet they all still came.
Because no one knew who the mysterious figure was, and the unknown is always the most dangerous.
So they needed to figure out the situation; if this person was insignificant, they would simply ignore them, or perhaps even embarrass them on the spot.
At this moment, the conference hall of Tenglong Group, which could accommodate hundreds of people, was already filled with many people.
These people all shared a common trait, either wealthy or powerful. Some frequently appeared on finance magazines and the like.
Currently, everyone was whispering, discussing who was behind Tenglong Group.
While everyone was deep in discussion, Qin Rumeng entered with Tang Yurou.
The appearance of Qin Rumeng and Tang Yurou immediately caused a stir among everyone, instinctively halting their conversations, casting their gaze upon Qin Rumeng and Tang Yurou.
It’s worth noting that Qin Rumeng was the president of Fenghua Group, and Tang Yurou was her protégé. Rumors were spreading secretly that the future of Fenghua Group would be led by Tang Yurou.
Fenghua Group had recently been in a state of antagonism with Tenglong Group, and Qin Rumeng was a very transcendent figure in both status and position.
Now even she received the call.
Who would dare to threaten even this powerful lady?
"Miss Qin, Miss Tang..."
Everyone greeted Qin Rumeng and Tang Yurou with flattering smiles.
Qin Rumeng was aware of their attempts to curry favor, knowing her own status was vastly superior, while Tang Yurou, as a potential future leader of Fenghua Group, was also a target of their flattery.
Fenghua Group, being a multinational corporation with a market value in the trillions, meant that fostering a good relationship with Tang Yurou could yield beneficial cooperation down the line.
Even if Tang Yurou didn’t take over Fenghua Group, her connection with Qin Rumeng still made her worth befriending.
Qin Rumeng nodded indifferently to the greetings, saying little.
Subsequently, Qin Rumeng found a place to sit with Tang Yurou.
Meanwhile, White Rose and Ye Xunhuan had arrived downstairs at the Tenglong Group building, but they didn’t head upstairs; instead, they remained in the car.
"Young Master Ye, aren’t we going up?" White Rose gently asked Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan glanced at White Rose and said casually, "Going up now won’t change anything. The opposite party will make you wait; they won’t show up so quickly."
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, White Rose seemed to comprehend, immediately saying, "You mean, Young Master Ye, they’re playing psychological tactics, like in business, where the one who remains calm gains more advantage!"
Ye Xunhuan nodded.
That’s exactly what he meant.
This kind of psychological warfare is common both domestically and internationally, regardless of the occasion.
The opponent deliberately makes you wait, aggravating your already dissatisfied mood, so that when they finally appear, your heart may already be filled with rage. And when people are consumed by anger, they often lose some rationality.
At that point, the initiative will completely fall into the opponent’s hands.
Thus, Ye Xunhuan wasn’t in a rush to go upstairs. After all, if waiting was inevitable, he might as well sit here, listening to music in the car, smoking a cigarette, and waiting comfortably!
Moreover, doesn’t the main act usually appear last?
If the other party wanted to be the finale, so did Ye Xunhuan.
Understanding Ye Xunhuan’s intentions, White Rose then asked, "When shall we go up?"
"No rush!" Ye Xunhuan replied with calm and composure, "Let them fight upstairs, diminishing their edge, and then we’ll go up!"
Since Ye Xunhuan said so, White Rose said no more, sitting quietly in the car with him awaiting.
While Ye Xunhuan and White Rose waited in the vehicle, Qin Rumeng waited at Tenglong Group.
However, someone else was waiting in an office.
That person was Yan Jingchu, along with an elderly gentleman!
The elderly man had reached his seventies, likely benefiting from good self-care and wellness habits, giving his complexion a healthy glow. His hands, grasping a dragon-headed cane, didn’t exhibit the wrinkled texture common among the elderly but appeared smooth and plump instead.
This elderly man gave off an impression of being vigorous despite his age.
Seated across from the elderly man, Yan Jingchu respectfully and courteously asked, "Old Xun, when shall we go over?"
