Chi Wannian received the message and lowered his eyes. "Tell them to pull back."
He didn't care at all how Qi Yuwu would choose, nor did he care whether it was from the bottom of his heart or not.
He only believed in one principle: whoever was against Zhu Ning, he would kill.
In Jingnian.
"Mr. Xu, Yaoyang has already shown signs of retreat. Their entertainment business in China won't last long."
"Strike while the iron is hot. Attack with all our strength. In a month, take over all their market shares!"
In Kyoto.
"Mr. Pei, Yaoyang has decided to cut its losses and withdraw its strength to develop overseas."
"Since they've decided to withdraw, make sure they can never come back. Speed up the final phase."
The hundred - group war ended with Zhu Ning's complete dominance. Jiuzhang, Kang Yuanshan, and Yaoyang tried to gang up against Zhu Ning, but before Zhu Ning even had to make much of a move, those willing to fight for her had already dismembered them and presented the results at Zhu Ning's feet.
Kang Yuanshan was defeated, Jiuzhang collapsed, and Yaoyang suffered a huge setback!
Other domestic financial groups were all trembling. "Even Yaoyang was defeated. We've already fought against her once when the hundred groups united. Do we really want to have a second round?"
"We were completely beaten in the first round. If we have a second one, can we really expect a better outcome? We have to seek peace."
"What if she doesn't agree?"
"Then keep groveling until she does!"
Financial groups from all over quickly dragged their wounded bodies into action, and all kinds of groveling behaviors emerged one after another.
"All our subsidiary companies should immediately open their doors to Jude Wang and actively offer high - profit cooperation projects."
"Everyone stop what you're doing and fly to Shanghai with me to apologize to Miss Zhu and discuss cooperation!"
"Don't you know how intense the competition is now? Everyone is flying to Shanghai to curry favor with Miss Zhu. If you don't bring out the family heirloom, how can I compete with them!"
"What did you say? XXX has even brought out the family heirloom? That bastard! Then you guys go buy a piece of land right away. What for? Build a ancestral hall for Miss Zhu of Jude Wang!"
From all corners of the country, the members of the hundred groups who had previously vowed to surround and attack Zhu Ning rushed to Shanghai on the earliest flights.
They queued up in the waiting area on the first floor of the central building to apply for an appointment to meet Zhu Ning.
The receptionist put down the phone. "Miss Zhu has an appointment slot at four o'clock. You..."
"Let me see her. As long as I can meet Miss Zhu, I'm willing to offer 40% of our financial group's shares to her."
"Only 40% and you still have the nerve to meet Miss Zhu? I'll offer 45%!"
"I'll offer 50%! I'm the most sincere. I'm also willing to follow Miss Zhu's orders from now on!"
"Don't think you're the only one who can offer such conditions. We can too!"
"What do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to compete with me for the chance to meet Miss Zhu?"
"Now everyone knows how valuable it is to meet Miss Zhu. So what if I compete?"
"You're just asking for death!"
A group of once - prominent billionaires on the domestic rich list, who had fallen from grace after losing the battle against Zhu Ning, were now fighting tooth and nail for a chance to meet her.
Passers - by outside pointed their phones at them. "A billionaire is beating another billionaire, just for a chance to meet Miss Zhu of Jude Wang..."
[Billions are just pocket money for Sister Zhu. It's already a blessing for them in this lifetime if Sister Zhu is willing to give them the time of day!]
[I've heard rumors that they were going to jointly besiege Sister Zhu before. This isn't a meeting. It's clearly a pilgrimage.]
[It's normal that vassals from weak countries can't see the emperor. I just hope they can fight harder and don't dirty Sister Zhu's territory.]
The online sentiment was one - sided, full of reverence and admiration for Zhu Ning. Even a group of billionaires didn't catch the audience's eye.
If such a fantastic plot happened elsewhere, it would surely be woven into a story of wealthy bachelors competing for a woman.
But when it came to Zhu Ning, any description that weakened her subjectivity was an insult to her.
So what if they were billionaires? So what if they were wealthy bachelors? Wasn't she one herself?
Moreover, she didn't need to change herself or learn the so - called upper - class unwritten rules to fit into the class environment.
She didn't need to!
— She just needed to be herself. She was the center of the world!
She didn't fit into the class.
She came to change the order!
From now on, any place she stood would be the path of pilgrimage for the powerful and the wealthy!
The billionaires were showing their loyalty downstairs, while Zhu Ning was looking at them upstairs as if they were monkeys.
Xiao Zailun said, "Miss, they've disturbed you. I've already asked the security to drive them away."
In the past, Xiao Zailun wouldn't have dared to say such a thing. Any one of the people downstairs could have given him three nightmares.
But now?
Xiao Zailun's eyes were full of admiration and submission when he looked at Zhu Ning. No one could compare to their miss.
Now that he thought about it, it was a huge bargain for him that Miss Zhu had accepted his investment of billions and let him serve by her side!
Zhu Ning nodded. "I gave them a chance but they didn't cherish it. I'm not in the mood to see them."
Xiao Zailun respectfully replied, "Then what does Miss plan to do with them?"
Zhu Ning said, "The enterprises can't collapse."
Xiao Zailun understood immediately. It meant that the throne would change hands.
"Understood."
Jude Wang could take down whoever it wanted with ease.
So what if it was a hundred - group alliance? Changing the person on the throne was just a matter of a moment.
All over the country, actions were taken quickly. Second - in - commands took over, deputies ascended the throne, and confidants defected one after another.
"I've treated you well! How could you betray me?"
"You have, but RMB is even more attractive!"
"We've received a real - name report. You've violated multiple laws and regulations, and the evidence is conclusive. Come with us."
"Wait, wait. This shouldn't be happening. Where's my lawyer? I want to find my lawyer."
"Sorry, boss. It was me who provided the evidence."
"They've all gotten into trouble. I can't stay here any longer. I have to run away immediately!"
"Open the door!"
"How did the police find this place!"
"Sorry, Dad. Wuwuwu. I just wanted to make progress so much."
"..."
A nationwide purge was carried out. The top leaders flying to Shanghai were either captured or ousted.
Even those who weren't attacked for the time being were just waiting for their turn.
Zhu Ning could dominate during the war, not to mention that these financial groups were already weakened by her.
Financial groups all over the country changed hands overnight. The first thing those who had seized power did was not to consolidate their own strength but to pledge allegiance to Jude Wang.
Zhu Ning said, "The local financial groups are acting independently. I'm scared."
They understood.
The next night, financial groups all over the country donated a large amount of money to the national infrastructure project. The total donation amount was 1.5 trillion yuan.
The financial group system was on the verge of collapse.
The whole society was shocked!
And those enterprises that had been oppressed by these financial groups for years finally poked their heads out at dawn.
The sky had finally brightened.
