Chapter 218 Song Xuejiao
Song Tianxiang’s office.
Seeing the phone being hung up so rudely, Song Tianxiang’s face also looked somewhat displeased.
In China, people value relationships and face. Even if two people are secretly at odds, they should still maintain a cordial appearance when meeting. But Song Tianxiang had repeatedly been rebuffed in front of a series of senior police officers at the Ninghai City Bureau!
“You’ve seen the result.” Song Tianxiang casually tossed his phone onto the desk and looked at his son with a gloomy expression, saying: “Learn from your mistakes. Let’s put this behind us. Continuing to pressure each other like this won’t lead to any good outcome.”
Song Yili stared at the coffee table, saying nothing.
Song Tianxiang didn’t know if his son had taken his words to heart, but there were some things that he, as a father, really needed to make clear.
“Recently, Bikang Group has obviously accelerated its retaliation against Tianxiang Group. Whether in the pharmaceutical industry or other derivative industries, Bikang has already allied with multiple companies to target Tianxiang’s well-known drugs. In just a few days, our sales have dropped by ten percentage points, which was almost impossible in the past.”
“If Tianxiang Group loses these well-known pharmaceutical products, it will cause a significant decline in the group’s performance, and the stock price will also fall severely. The losses would then be immeasurable.”
As he said this, Song Tianxiang couldn’t help but recall what Lin Aoxue had told him that night—from now on, she would use all her power to retaliate against Tianxiang Group, even if it meant destroying Bikang’s future.
Just because the police arrested Su Rui, Lin Aoxue would go this far?
Thinking of Lin Aoxue’s determined eyes, Song Tianxiang felt a deep sense of helplessness, a feeling that made him feel somewhat powerless.
She said it, and she did it. Since then, Bikang had launched a series of blockade actions against Tianxiang Group, each step tightly connected to the next, almost sacrificing any profit for a bloody battle. In just a week or so, Song Tianxiang already felt it difficult to breathe, constantly being in a passive position of taking hits. Anyone would feel uncomfortable.
He could be absolutely certain that these plans came from Lin Aoxue herself. This young woman, who once devoted herself to scientific research and achieved amazing results, was now displaying her incredible talent in the business field.
“Song Yili, are you listening?”
Song Tianxiang rarely addressed his son by his full name, but whenever he did, it meant the old man was in a very serious state.
Song Yili’s eyes remained fixed on the coffee table, offering no response.
However, the light emanating from his eyes made Song Tianxiang feel increasingly ruthless.
Clearly, he wasn’t just listening; he was listening very carefully.
“There’s a piece of land I’ve been eyeing for a long time, planning to develop Tianxiang’s real estate project. The preliminary design for this project was already completed, and I invested enormous human and financial resources. But when the land was listed for auction, Bikang Group snatched it first. Do you know what this action means?”
Song Tianxiang’s voice finally carried a hint of anger: “It means that this building project has completely fallen through! Without securing the land, all the preliminary investments and designs have gone to waste!”
Song Yili finally looked up.
“Ruthless, isn’t it?” Song Tianxiang became increasingly agitated as he spoke: “I’ve had people keep this news under wraps. Otherwise, if it got out, it would cause immeasurable damage to Tianxiang’s stock price! Of course, this kind of news will eventually leak out; it’s just a matter of how long we can keep it quiet!”
“Damn Lin Aoxue!” Before Song Yili’s eyes appeared that stunningly beautiful figure. In the past, he had tried countless times to conquer this woman, using every means but never succeeding. Now, he was filled with venomous hatred toward his former object of desire.
If he could get his hands on her now, Song Yili would definitely subject this woman to the most perverted torture in the world.
Without a doubt, the Song family’s eldest son had now completely become a psychological deviant.
“I’ve asked Xuejiao to come back,” Song Tianxiang sighed.
“My sister?” Song Yili’s gaze suddenly began to flicker.
“Yes, your mother has always prevented me from telling Xuejiao about these matters, but I’m already feeling the strain. I need her to come back and help,” Song Tianxiang knew all too well that this was a crucial period for his daughter Song Xuejiao. She was working and living in the capital, and had a good relationship with Jiang Yibo, an outstanding third-generation member of the Jiang family. If she could successfully marry into the Jiang family, it would bring many benefits to the entire Tianxiang Group.
To be honest, although Tianxiang Group was considered quite good among domestic pharmaceutical companies, it was still significantly inferior compared to the Jiang family. Therefore, Song Tianxiang placed great importance on his eldest daughter Song Xuejiao; she would be the weight that could propel Tianxiang Group to its second leap forward.
Many things had happened in the family recently, but Song Tianxiang had never called his daughter back, fearing it would distract her and affect her marriage prospects. But now, he truly felt the strain. His son was sinister and incompetent; only his daughter could help him share some of the burden.
Although this decision faced opposition from his wife Hu Qinghuan, Song Tianxiang persisted. In his words, Tianxiang Group was at a life-or-death juncture.
Of course, in reality, it didn’t seem that serious, but Song Tianxiang always looked at problems with a developmental perspective. If Lin Aoxue continued like this, Tianxiang Group could really be crushed!
Hearing this, Song Yili lowered his head again, the venomous light in his eyes reconcentrating.
“I will solve the problem in my own way.” After saying this, he stood up and walked out.
“Come back here!” Song Tianxiang sensed something was wrong and quickly called out, fearing trouble, but his son completely ignored him.
Song Tianxiang shook his head and sat down helplessly in his chair, when he suddenly noticed a pop-up window on his computer screen.
The message in the pop-up made his whole body tremble!
The content of the message was simple, about the commercial land plot that Tianxiang Group had lost!
Looking at the standard, unbiased report, Song Tianxiang felt his scalp tingle!
Wasn’t this news supposed to be kept strictly confidential? How did it leak out so quickly?
“It’s Lin Aoxue! It must be Lin Aoxue!” All of Song Tianxiang’s years of self-cultivation were destroyed in this moment. He had already foreseen the terrible consequences this news would bring, and in his fury, he hurled his teacup at the computer screen!
Crash!
The computer screen was shattered by the teacup, with electrical sparks flashing inside!
At that moment, there was also an uproar in Tianxiang Group’s office area! The employees had also seen this shocking news!
The news headline was as simple as it could be, but one glance was enough to understand its meaning!
The headline read—Tianxiang Group Suffers Heavy Losses, Bikang Group Snatches Victory!
“My God, when did this happen? We didn’t get that commercial land plot?”
“It looks like we really didn’t get it, but wasn’t the preliminary design for this project already completed?”
“What does it matter if the preliminary design is done? It’s just making a wedding dress for someone else! What use is a good design if we don’t even have the land?”
“They must have used some underhanded methods!”
Just a simple piece of news about a setback had already caused instability among Tianxiang Group’s employees.
Over the years, they had become accustomed to smooth sailing. The group’s well-known pharmaceutical products sold well with substantial profits, and they had been successful in many areas. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation!
The fat meat that was almost in their mouths had been snatched away!
“My God, the stock price is falling!” someone stood up and shouted!
Almost within minutes after the news broke, Tianxiang Group’s stock price had already reacted!
Falling!
Rapidly falling!
It’s not easy for retail investors to make big money in the stock market. The truly impressive ones are those big players who, sensing danger at the first sign of trouble, decisively sold off their holdings!
Chinese people like to follow trends. Once one person sells, many others will follow suit, causing a chain reaction of selling.
This chain reaction is terrifying. In just a short hour, before trading closed for the day, Tianxiang Group’s stock had already hit its daily limit down!
Song Tianxiang was nearly driven mad with anger. This is how the stock market works—a small spark can start a prairie fire, potentially causing severe losses to the company at any time!
At this moment, a Mercedes sedan was driving on Ninghai’s elevated highway.
In the back seat sat a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her late twenties. Her hair was styled in large waves and dyed a slight wine-red color. Her fingers were delicate and slender, with deep red nail polish. Her features were exquisite, her fiery red lips full of indescribable allure. Even her clothes were red. With a full and firm figure, her entire being radiated a kind of gorgeous burning sensation.
Song Xuejiao, the eldest daughter of the Song family. At first glance, her appearance somewhat resembled her mother Hu Qinghuan, but her eyes carried more charm—charm that naturally emanated from her rather than being deliberately affected.
Looking at the news on her phone, the charm in her eyes gradually receded, replaced by unprecedented gravity.
“The stock has actually hit its limit down.” Song Xuejiao suddenly detected a hint of danger.
“No wonder father insisted on calling me back this time.” Song Xuejiao muttered to herself: “It’s been so long since I returned to Ninghai, and I come back to face this situation.”
The driver, who also served as her bodyguard, said disdainfully: “Sister Xuejiao, what are we worried about? No matter how big a fish is in Ninghai, when thrown into the capital’s ocean, it’s just a small loach. At worst, we can ask Young Master Yibo to step in. Wouldn’t it just take one word from him?”
