Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Xu Yang took a break before looking for Ma Yangrong.

"Old Ma, I hope I haven't disturbed your work?"

Xu Yang entered Ma Yangrong's office and sat down on the sofa.

"Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? Is there something you need?"

Ma Yangrong got up from behind his desk, walked over, and sat opposite Xu Yang.

Every time Xu Yang came, he had something to say; he wouldn't come just to have tea and chat without a purpose.

After all, he had many things to attend to himself.

"Indeed, I have something, and it's very important," Xu Yang said.

"Mr. Xu, please speak," Ma Yangrong took on a serious tone.

"Old Ma, what are your thoughts on business warfare?" Xu Yang didn't go straight to the point but instead asked a question.

"Business warfare?" Ma Yangrong was taken aback.

"That's right, business warfare," Xu Yang nodded.

"The so-called business warfare is about defeating the competitors by any means necessary; this is my simple understanding," Ma Yangrong pondered and replied.

"About the same. Today, I've come to ask you to launch a business war, not just to defeat the competitors but to completely crush them," Xu Yang said.

"A business war? To completely crush the competitors?" Ma Yangrong was somewhat astonished, "Mr. Xu, may I ask, why do this? And who is the opponent?"

It had always been peaceful until now.

Whenever Xu Yang was interested in a company, he would acquire it, and everything went smoothly.

He had never initiated a business war.

Even the incident between Xu Yang and Hua'an Film and Television, strictly speaking, couldn't be considered a business war.

That was merely Xu Yang using methods unknown to others to obtain damaging information about the executives and artists of Hua'an Film and Television, exposing it, causing Hua'an Film and Television to suffer heavy losses, and in the end, forcing a compromise.

In the end, they shook hands and made peace, even investing together in "War Panther 2".

He was puzzled as to why Xu Yang wanted to initiate a business war, especially one that aimed to completely crush the competitors.

What kind of deep animosity was this?

"Have you heard about the uproar from the news last night?" Xu Yang asked.

"Are you talking about that scumbag rich second-generation Li Zixuan's affair?" Ma Yangrong inquired.

The hottest news from last night was about Li Zixuan.

Even someone like him, who preferred to keep a low profile, had commented online a few times.

The gist of it was that such scumbags must be severely punished, or justice would not be served.

"Yes," Xu Yang nodded.

"You're saying the business war is related to him?" Ma Yangrong asked again.

"Yes," Xu Yang replied. "The matter of Li Zixuan getting arrested was my doing. I found all the illegal things he's done, along with the evidence, submitted it anonymously to the police and exposed it online."

"What! It was you!" Ma Yangrong was shocked.

Just the previous night, he had been wondering at home who was behind it, celebrating that it was a true act of justice, much to everyone's satisfaction.

He had not expected that the person behind it was his own boss.

"No need to make such a fuss. Don't let this word get out; let others say what they will," Xu Yang cautioned.

"Understood. I know. I will not tell a second person," Ma Yangrong promised, nodding solemnly.

"Li Zixuan's father, Li Changsheng, has vowed to exert all his efforts to crush me. After thinking it over, I decided to strike first and completely smash the Li family's companies. I want you to form a team and operate it personally. Can you do that?" Xu Yang said.

"Mr. Xu, to be honest, I have never done something like this before. If you entrust me with this task, I can only say that I will try my utmost to achieve what you've asked," Ma Yangrong did not commit rashly.

After all, he had never done something like this before.

Moreover, until now, he had been just the deputy head of Fengcai Guild, with abilities still below Xiao Dongsheng.

Xu Yang had moved him to this position, allowing his talents to have greater room to flourish.

He had a clear understanding of himself, and even if Xu Yang hadn't entrusted this task to him, he wouldn't have had any regrets.

He couldn't let his own issues get in the way of Xu Yang's affairs.

"I know this business battle is also an opportunity to train you, and I hope you can complete it," he said.

"Here's what we'll do, I'll send you the information I've gathered about the Li Family's Changsheng Furniture Company, and you'll form a team today to develop an operational plan."

"My requirement is that within two days, you must crush Changsheng Furniture Company. Plan your time around this deadline. As for finances and networking, you need not worry," he instructed.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll come to the company, and you'll present your plan to me. If I find it feasible, we'll proceed immediately. If not, then we'll discuss further. How does that sound?"

Xu Yang was aiming to train a team.

As his business grew larger, these kinds of situations were inevitable.

He couldn't just resort to hacking every time something came up.

Hacking wasn't a cure-all.

Just like in this case, Li Zixuan was guilty of numerous crimes. Submitting evidence to the police and exposing him online was the effective approach.

But taking on Li Zixuan's father, Li Changsheng, and his eldest son wouldn't work the same way.

Because they didn't have any significant blemishes on their records.

In such cases, the only option was to engage in corporate battle.

The same went for the current situation with Penguin stepping in, acquiring Yunhai Literature, and entering the online literature industry.

The adversary would certainly aim to compete with Shengda Literature, employing countless tactics.

If Qiu Wenyu couldn't handle it, Xu Yang could send in the team to operate and resolve the crisis facing Shengda Literature.

"Alright, I'll gather the personnel right away, form the team, and come up with a plan today to deliver to you tomorrow morning," Ma Yangrong said.

"Good, I trust you. I'll send the information about Changsheng Furniture Company to your email in a bit," Xu Yang replied.

Xu Yang stood up, patted Ma Yangrong's shoulder, and left.

Watching Xu Yang's retreating figure, Ma Yangrong clenched his fists.

In his heart, he silently swore to complete this task successfully.

This was not only a test for him but also an opportunity.

If he did well, he would surely become indispensable to Xu Yang in the future.

If he failed, Xu Yang might not trust him with important tasks anymore, and he would likely stagnate in his career.

By the time Xu Yang established a conglomerate, progressing further would become much more challenging.

...

In Haicheng, at the Li Family residence.

During breakfast, Li Changsheng asked, "Zicheng, how did it go last night? Have you had any leads on how to deal with Xu Yang?"

Li Zicheng replied with a wry smile, "Dad, I've only come up with some ideas. It's not so simple; Xu Yang isn't easy to deal with. Give me a few days, I will come up with a more comprehensive plan. As you've said, to accomplish this task, we must deliver a fatal blow, or we won't achieve our goal. So, we can't rush into this."

Li Changsheng nodded in agreement, "That's true, I've thought about it a little too. Don't hurry, take a few days to think it over. Let's set a deadline, how about we combine our thoughts in three days and finalize a plan then? We can't drag this on too long."

Li Zicheng nodded, "That's fine, three days is no problem."

After taking a couple of sips of milk, Li Zicheng added, "By the way, Dad, how are things going with Zixuan?"

Li Changsheng sighed deeply and said, "The lawyer called just now, he's confessed to everything. Under these circumstances, he'll likely get at least twenty years. There's nothing we can do anymore."

Li Changsheng had sent the lawyer to Jiangcheng the night before.

Last night, Li Zixuan had been interrogated until 2 a.m.

The lawyer was the first to receive the news, but since it was in the middle of the night, he didn't report to Li Changsheng right away.

This morning, as soon as Li Changsheng got up, the lawyer had called to relay the detailed situation.

The lawyer's role was now merely to help with the procedures; there was little else he could do.
