Zhou Weijun knew that if he accepted this badge, it would mean joining the Azure Dragon Commerce and having to work for them.

However, ever since the incident with Zhou Qing'er, Zhou Weijun felt nothing but disdain for the Azure Dragon Commerce.

Especially now, having allied himself with Ye Guichen, it was even less likely that Zhou Weijun would join the Azure Dragon Commerce.

"Young Master Ning, there are already chambers of commerce in Yun City, I... I'm just a businessman... I'm afraid..." Zhou Weijun tried to refuse, but Ning Chengyuan smiled slightly, "Are you talking about the Yun City Chamber of Commerce? Haha, I've already spoken with Chairman Sun Boyuan of the Yun City Chamber of Commerce. He gave his full support for you to become the chairman."

As he spoke, Ning Chengyuan took out his phone and played a video.

Upon clicking play, a bloodied figure appeared on the screen.

His mouth was full of blood, many of his teeth had been knocked out. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Sun Boyuan.

Sun Boyuan, with his hair held, his face full of pain, raised both hands above his head in a gesture of surrender, "Boss Zhou, please agree to be the chairman of the Yun City Chamber of Commerce. I beg you, I beg you."

At this point, Ning Chengyuan put away the video.

Ning Chengyuan smiled at Zhou Weijun, "Boss Zhou, look, Chairman Sun is so considerate, insisting on giving you the chairman position. How could you refuse?"

Zhou Weijun was taken aback by Ning Chengyuan's brutal methods. His lips trembled twice before he could even speak.

Indifferent, Ning Chengyuan continued, "Oh, by the way, you should know that yesterday I contacted your brother-in-law, Yu Jieyuan. He seems very keen to curry favor with me. If you don't want to be the chairman, that's fine by me. Believe me, with one call, Yu Jieyuan will be running to me. If I'm in a bad mood, pulling out all of Yu Jieyuan's teeth wouldn't be good."

Though Ning Chengyuan spoke carelessly, the threat in his words was crystal clear.

There was a flash of hostility in Zhou Weijun's eyes.

Though he knew Ning Chengyuan was cunning, he had never witnessed it firsthand. Today he saw, and the rumors turned out to be true.

He had only one feeling: this person was as cunning as a fox, not to be underestimated.

"Oh, right, isn't your daughter Zhou Qing'er and your old man Zhou Huairen living in Longhu District? Hmm, maybe someday, I should visit them to express my condolences." Ning Chengyuan said, smiling.

"Ning Chengyuan, what exactly do you want!" Zhou Weijun finally lost all patience, slammed the table, stood up, grabbed Ning Chengyuan's collar, and his eyes were red with anger.

Taking advantage of his family as a threat, Ning Chengyuan was truly despicable.

Ning Chengyuan remained calm, "Boss Zhou, why are you so agitated? Haha, I just want you to be the chairman and help me manage the enterprises in Yun City."

As he continued to speak, Ning Chengyuan grabbed Zhou Weijun's hand, pushed it away, then patted his clothes and slightly adjusted, "Of course, Boss Zhou, if you don't agree, it's fine. But I can't guarantee that my men will be as polite to your brother-in-law, daughter, and your old man."

He patted Zhou Weijun's shoulder and headed out, "Boss Zhou, you don't need to rush the response. Tomorrow noon, in this private room, I've sent invitations to some of the top enterprises in Yun City, including the now prominent Chen Group. Remember to host the meeting."

With that, Ning Chengyuan laughed heartily and left the private room.

The two female bodyguards glanced playfully at Jingang and Ye Guichen, then followed him out.

After Ning Chengyuan and his group left, Zhou Weijun finally couldn't hold back and overturned the dining table, "Ning Chengyuan, screw you!"

He then sat heavily on the ground, feeling a sense of powerlessness, his body unknowingly drenched in sweat.

Ye Guichen also took a seat, picked up the Azure Dragon Commerce badge, and toyed with it.

Ye Guichen understood Ning Chengyuan's intentions now. Not only did he aim to control Yun City's gray industries, but he intended to fully dominate Yun City's enterprises.

However, Ye Guichen had some respect for Ning Chengyuan's methods.

To deal with Li Bao and others, Ning Chengyuan directly employed violence, even killing as a warning to those in the underworld. For enterprises, Ning Chengyuan intended to find himself an agent; so even if something goes wrong, it won't lead back to Ning Chengyuan.

It was a brilliant plan.

Now, Ye Guichen understood the invitation Chen Ziran mentioned last night, it must have been sent by Ning Chengyuan.

Ning Chengyuan fundamentally did not believe Zhou Weijun would dare refuse him.

"Brother Ye, what should we do?"

After a while, Zhou Weijun looked up.

Ye Guichen smiled and placed the badge on the table, "Since the Ning family wants to play, let's play along. You host the meeting tomorrow, I want to see just how greedy they are."

Zhou Weijun was stunned for a moment, "Brother Ye, you mean you want me to join the Azure Dragon Commerce?

"Who said hosting the meeting meant joining the Azure Dragon Commerce?" Ye Guichen sneered, "He wants to push all the offending tasks onto you and enjoy the benefits himself. Why don't we do the opposite and take this chance to unite all the enterprises in Yun City to collectively resist the Ning family?"

"Wha?" Zhou Weijun was taken aback, staring at Ye Guichen, "Brother Ye, will that work?"

"We'll find out tomorrow." Ye Guichen said confidently.

Having come to Yun City for so long, Ye Guichen finally felt things were getting interesting.

...

Inside a stretched Lincoln car.

Ning Chengyuan sat in the back seat, flanked by two black and white female bodyguards.

Holding both female bodyguards in his arms, a cigar in his mouth, he asked leisurely, "Have you figured it out?"

The white female bodyguard nodded slightly, "Young Master, according to information from Sakura Falling, the three Jade Pendants are indeed in the hands of someone named Ye Guichen. He's the fiancé of Chen Ziran, the current president of the Chen Group."

Ning Chengyuan didn't respond but nodded to indicate the white female bodyguard to continue.

The white female bodyguard said, "However, our investigation shows that this Ye Guichen is merely a country bumpkin, without any background."

"No background?" Ning Chengyuan squinted his eyes, smirked, "He easily placed Chen Ziran in the president's position and made Long Zhengkun surrender. Who believes someone like that has no background?"

The white female bodyguard was hesitant, "But we used the commerce's resources, even accessed some confidential archives, and the results were consistently the same."

"Oh?" Ning Chengyuan showing a look of interest, "So, you're saying this Ye Guichen is not simple?"

The white female bodyguard nodded, "There are only two possibilities for this. Either Ye Guichen truly has no background and our findings are accurate. The other..."

At this point, the white female bodyguard didn't continue.

Ning Chengyuan curled his lips, "The other possibility is that his identity surpasses our expectations, even Azure Dragon Commerce can't use its resources to find out, right?"

The white female bodyguard nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Haha, interesting, I want to see who he really is!" Ning Chengyuan was not at all discouraged but laughed loudly, instructing, "Arrange for me to meet Bai Qinghe immediately. A chairman's secretary without any progress for so long, I want to see what she's doing in Yun City!"
