Chapter 131: Bai Xunan's Plan.

Feng Zhuyi was stunned. She looked up at Bai Xunan, frowning. "What do you mean?"

Bai Xunan smiled faintly, his features softening. "Zhuyi, you've been at Jiahe for so many years. You should already know Jiahe's partners and connections like the back of your hand."

"Instead of trying to stop Ruan Liuzheng, why not use your Jiahe connections to start a new company?"

Bai Xunan's expression was relaxed, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather.

But who could have imagined that he was now plotting to seize his other daughter's wealth?

Feng Zhuyi fell silent.

She had considered Bai Xunan's plan, but ultimately rejected it.

Over the years, she hadn't exactly been a force to be reckoned with at Jiahe, but she was certainly a dominant force.

She had long considered Jiahe her own, even though she had been secretly transferring its assets.

But Jiahe was still a publicly listed company. If she gave up now and chose to start a new company, the time and financial investment would be enormous.

So, even though Feng Zhuyi had been deliberately leading Jiahe downhill, she never considered abandoning it.

She needed a public company and the position of chairman of a listed company to facilitate her pursuits, to gain respect and connections within the industry.

Especially for her now, the position of Jiahe chairman was paramount, crucial.

Feng Zhuyi had already prepared a press conference. On the eve of the Bai and Fu families' wedding announcement, when Bai Huanqing was about to marry Fu Yanci, she wanted to publicly declare to everyone in Yuncheng that everything in Jiahe belonged to Bai Huanqing.

Jiahe would be the most significant part of Bai Huanqing's dowry.

While Bai Xunan would undoubtedly give Bai Huanqing shares, those shares wouldn't be enough to attract the attention of a well-established wealthy family.

Only a truly public company, a company once renowned in Yuncheng and even throughout China, could truly give Bai Huanqing the confidence to do so,

and prevent the Fu family from easily underestimating her.

Feng Zhuyi frowned, subconsciously avoiding Bai Xunan's gaze. The corners of her lips slowly straightened, and a barely perceptible cold glint crossed her eyes.

For years, while Jiahe had nominally been a subsidiary of the Bai Corporation, only those within the Bai Corporation knew that Jiahe and the Bai Corporation had long since ceased to have any connection.

Jiahe was now a completely independent, publicly listed company. The fact that it bore the Bai Corporation name was simply because she was the wife of the Bai Corporation's president, and the Bai Corporation held a certain status in Yuncheng's business community.

With the Bai Corporation's protection, Jiahe remained resilient.

She was able to continuously extract assets from Jiahe.

In other words, Jiahe was her inexhaustible treasure trove.

Therefore, no matter what, Feng Zhuyi would not willingly or easily abandon Jiahe and give it away to Ruan Liuzheng, the person she loathed the most.

Feng Zhuyi's grip tightened. Thinking of Bai Xunan, who had yet to be convinced, she took a deep breath, a dark glint in her eyes.

She raised her hand, feigning reluctance to wipe the tears from her eyes. Then, raising her eyes, she spoke with a touch of understanding, "I know this is the best solution. But Brother Nan, we weren't too secretive back then, and Ruan Liuzheng is powerless now, so there's no way she can investigate." "

But once Ruan Liuzheng has Jiahe as her trump card, she'll have the power to investigate what happened back then. Don't forget, the Bai family now has many assets and most of its businesses..."

Feng Zhuyi saw Bai Xunan frown, knowing her goal had been achieved, and she stopped him in his tracks.

As for the Jiahe auction, as long as she was there, she wouldn't let Bai Xunan succeed.

Bai Xunan didn't know Feng Zhuyi's inner thoughts; he only knew that her words had indeed triggered a long-dormant sense of crisis in him.

They had precisely struck a chord with him.

No one, after experiencing fame, wealth, and status, would want to return to the destitute they once were.

Especially after he had experienced the adulation and the benefits of money.

The Bai family, on the other hand, was the result of half his life's struggle.

To expect Bai Xunan to abandon the Bai family, or to watch it being ripped apart, was simply impossible.

Bai Xunan's eyes darkened.

He would never let what Feng Zhuyi had said come true, even if a significant portion of the current Bai family's assets came from the former Ruan family.

So what? He couldn't just spit out what was already in his mouth.

Those things were now Bai's, no longer connected to the former Ruan family.

His lips pursed into a tight line, but in just a few seconds, a decision was made.

His eyes darkened as he looked at Feng Zhuyi and said, "I'll personally go talk to Ruan Liuzheng. She has no power or wealth right now, so she should be easy to deal with."

"Don't worry, I will never let her succeed in taking Jiahe. Whether it's Jiahe or the Bai family, there is only one future owner: Huanqing."

Bai Xunan gently patted Feng Zhuyi's soft palm, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes were deep and dark.

There was also a barely perceptible glint of white light mixed in.

...

After Ruan Liuzheng accepted Xie Qingcen's proposal, they walked into the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

Although they had experience once before, it should have been unusually smooth, but for some reason, Ruan Liuzheng kept making mistakes, even more so than Xie Qingcen who was standing beside her, it looked like it was her first time.

Ruan Liuzheng looked at the application form that she had once again scrapped, a trace of embarrassment and regret flashed across her cold eyes.

It shouldn't be like this.

She glanced at Xie Qingcen sideways, her pale pink lips unconsciously pursed, as if with a hint of imperceptible resentment.

If Xie Qingcen hadn't caused such a scene outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, she would definitely not be so nervous now.

At least she wouldn't have scrapped three application forms!

Xie Qingcen felt Ruan Liuzheng's gaze, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he signed his name under the application form slowly and unhurriedly.

Then he raised his eyes, a faint smile shimmering in his dark eyes. "I really want to help, but this is a matter of life and death, so I can only trouble the future Mrs. Xie."

Ruan Liuzheng frowned, and expressionlessly reached out to take a new application form handed to her by the staff.

Her cold almond-shaped eyes lifted slightly, and her voice was chilled.

"It's not difficult. If Mr. Xie had restrained the smile on his lips or the aura around him a little, I think this application form would not have been wasted."

Ruan Liuzheng turned her head and gave Xie Qingcen a meaningful smile.

Xie Qingcen touched the tip of his nose as if he had sensed something. He raised his eyes and glanced at the two staff members who were smirking in front of him, and his aura suddenly changed.

Although there was still a sense of oppression, at least it wasn't as serious as before.

Ruan Liuzheng breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the pen, and smoothly signed his name at the bottom of the application form.

The rest of the process was completed by both of them with extraordinary smoothness, without a single mistake.
