The autumn wind in Beijing carried a chilling atmosphere, whipping up fallen leaves from the roadside and slamming them against the glass curtain wall of the Shen Group building.

Inside the chairman's office, Shen Zhenyang put down his old flip phone, a ruthless glint appearing in his previously cloudy eyes.

He picked up his teacup, blew away the foam, and although his hands were still trembling slightly, he had regained most of his seasoned composure.

"Grandpa, how is it?" Shen Wanshan stood to the side, holding an ice pack on his swollen cheek, his eyes filled with both expectation and fear.

"That tech-savvy kid thinks he can run rampant in Beijing just because he's got a few allies?" Shen Zhenyang sneered, his tone contemptuous. "That girl from the Ye family can get approvals from the heavens, and that crazy woman from the Zhang family can get convoys running on the ground, but he forgot one thing."

The old man slammed his cane heavily on the ground: "This logistics distribution center in Beijing is under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Road Transport Association. If the association issues a rectification notice, citing safety hazards, and closes all temporary unloading points, his drones can take off, but his goods won't be able to land!"

Shen Wanshan's eyes lit up instantly.

That's a really vicious move.

The so-called "last mile" is just a castle in the air without a legitimate ground transit station.

Even if Bai Jingyou has extraordinary abilities, it's all for nothing if the goods can't be delivered to the customer.

"Grandpa is so clever!" Shen Wanshan straightened up instantly. "I'll take people to the distribution point in the North District right away! Uncle Liu's approval document was sent to my phone half an hour ago."

"Go ahead." Shen Zhenyang closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. "Take the association's inspection team with you, make a big show of it. I want the whole of Beijing to see what happens when you break the rules."

……

On the North Fourth Ring Road, a vacant lot that originally belonged to an abandoned textile factory has now been rented by DeepBlue Technology and transformed into a temporary logistics transfer station.

The location was chosen in an extremely clever way, right on the only road leading from Shen's Logistics Park to the city center.

At 3 p.m., more than a dozen vans with signs for the Road Transport Association Inspection arrived and blocked the entrance to the transfer station, making it impossible to enter or exit.

Shen Wanshan jumped off the first car, followed by more than twenty burly men in uniforms who looked like hooligans.

He waved the rectification notice stamped with a bright red seal in his hand, a smug grin spreading across his face.

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Shen Wanshan kicked over a roadblock at the entrance and yelled at the workers unloading goods, "Who gave you permission to unload here? Did you get approval from the association? Don't you know the rules?!"

The workers stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, no one spoke, no one was afraid, they just looked at him as if he were a fool.

"What are you looking at? Believe me or not, I'll arrest you all!" Enraged by that look, Shen Wanshan waved his hand and ordered, "Seal it off! Confiscate all the equipment and goods here! Leave nothing behind!"

"Young Master Shen, what an imposing official air you have!"

A lazy, slightly sarcastic female voice suddenly came from behind the mountain of shipping containers.

Shen Wanshan was taken aback. Why did that voice sound so familiar?

Before he could react, a forklift slowly moved aside, revealing the scene behind it.

A genuine leather sofa sits on the open ground, next to a coffee table where Kung Fu tea is being brewed.

Bai Jingyou sat on the left, looking down at a financial magazine, seemingly oblivious to the commotion around him.

Sitting on the right was Zhang Yi, dressed in a burgundy business suit, with her legs crossed and a slender cigarette between her fingers.

Zhang Yi exhaled a smoke ring, her eyes fixed on a pig awaiting slaughter through the wisps of smoke: "Shen Wanshan, I rented this place, I transported the goods, whose stuff are you going to seal off?"

Shen Wanshan's heart skipped a beat.

He knew Zhang Yi was involved, but he thought she was just a guinea pig.

I never expected that this woman would personally oversee this dilapidated transfer station!

"Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang." Shen Wanshan's imposing manner instantly diminished, but remembering the official document in his hand, he forced himself to straighten his chest. "Mr. Zhang, regardless of who rented this land, rules are rules. The association has issued a notice stating that this place does not meet fire safety standards and poses a serious safety hazard. It must be shut down immediately for rectification!"

He waved the document in his hand: "This is Chairman Liu's handwritten signature, an ironclad rule applicable throughout the entire industry! Even though Mr. Zhang is a senior figure, he still has to abide by the law, right?"

Zhang Yi smiled.

She stood up, wearing ten-centimeter high heels, and walked step by step to Shen Wanshan.

She was half a head shorter than Shen Wanshan, but the oppressive aura emanating from her made Shen Wanshan want to back away.

"Law?" Zhang Yi reached out, pinched the thin document between two fingers, and gently pulled it away.

Without even glancing at it, she tore the document, which represented the industry's highest directive, in half right in front of Shen Wanshan.

Hiss.

The crisp sound of tearing paper echoed across the open space.

Shen Wanshan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets: "Zhang Yi! Are you crazy?! This is an official document! You're openly defying the law! I want..."

"Snapped!"

A resounding slap landed hard on Shen Wanshan's face, which was still swollen.

The slap was extremely vicious; the ruby ​​ring on Zhang Yi's hand left a bloody mark on Shen Wanshan's face.

The entire room fell silent.

The inspection team members who came with Shen Wanshan were all dumbfounded, frozen in place, not daring to move.

Just kidding, this is the Zhang family's infamous female devil, who dares to touch her?

"You think you're so great, huh?" Zhang Yi waved her hand, her tone icy. "You're making a mountain out of a molehill. That old bastard Liu Quanyou dares to mention rules in front of me? Do I need to remind you how he was elected chairman back then?"

Shen Wanshan covered his face, trembling all over, both shocked and furious: "You...you dare hit me? I'm calling the police! I'm going to get the association to blacklist all your convoys!"

"A ban?"

Bai Jingyou, who hadn't said a word, closed the magazine, stood up, and slowly walked over.

He stood beside Zhang Yi like a quiet spectator, but his words were piercingly incisive.

"Young Master Shen, it seems you haven't grasped the situation." Bai Jingyou pointed to the trucks loading and unloading behind him. "These trucks have Zhang family transport license plates. By sealing off the goods here, you're sealing off Zhang family's goods."

He paused, a playful smile playing on his lips: "If you impound these cars today, tomorrow morning, supermarkets throughout Beijing will be out of fresh vegetables, and deliveries for millions of people will be delayed."

Bai Jingyou stepped forward, leaned close to Shen Wanshan's ear, and whispered, "Guess, will your grandfather's so-called association be more powerful, or will the angry citizens and the municipal government's accountability be more powerful?"

Shen Wanshan broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He was only thinking about grabbing Bai Jingyou by the neck, but he forgot that the neck was connected to the main artery of the entire capital!

This is the real reason why Bai Jingyou sought cooperation with Zhang Yi: he hijacked the entire industry's transportation capacity, making the Shen family hesitant to act!

"And another thing," Zhang Yi added coldly, "half of this shipment consists of precision instruments destined for a key laboratory of the Ministry of Science and Technology. Shen Wanshan, how many heads do you have to dare confiscate the Ye family's property?"

Shen Wanshan's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

With Zhang Yi's public transportation capacity in front and the Ye family's official background behind, they are well-connected.

This kick didn't just hit a steel plate, it hit a minefield!

Just then, Shen Wanshan's cell phone started vibrating wildly in his pocket.

He answered the phone shakily; it was Liu Quanyou calling.

"Wanshan! Evacuate! Evacuate back now!" On the other end of the phone, Chairman Liu's voice sounded like he was about to cry. "I just received a call from the city, asking why the logistics capacity in the northern district has suddenly collapsed! They're furious! Get the people away quickly, don't drag me down with you!"

beep...

The phone hangs up.

Shen Wanshan held his phone, his face ashen.

He looked at Bai Jingyou, who had a half-smile on his face, and then at Zhang Yi, who had a murderous look on her face. He finally realized that he had lost again.

And he lost completely, like a clown jumping around.

"Get out." Zhang Yi pointed to the door and uttered only one word.

Shen Wanshan gritted his teeth, glared venomously at the two men, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Watching Shen Wanshan's disheveled retreating figure, Zhang Yi snorted disdainfully, turned to look at Bai Jingyou, and the murderous intent in her eyes instantly vanished, replaced by the shrewdness of a businessman.

"Mr. Bai, this charade is over." Zhang Yi took out a bill from her bag and slapped it on Bai Jingyou's chest. "The service fee for that slap, plus the compensation for emotional distress, totals two million. Remember to transfer it to my account."

Bai Jingyou took the bill and smiled, "President Zhang is indeed very clear about separating public and private matters. However, this small amount of money is insignificant compared to the profits to come."

He raised his wrist to check his watch: "It's almost time."

"When?" Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow.

"The customers of Shen's Logistics Park should have received the news by now." Bai Jingyou gazed at the distant Shen Group building, his eyes deep. "The Shen family is willing to use administrative means to disrupt normal logistics order in order to block us. Who would dare to use such an unstable partner?"

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up: "You mean...?"

"The business world is like a battlefield; winning hearts and minds is paramount." Bai Jingyou turned and walked towards the black sedan. "Let's go to the stock exchange. Tonight, Shen's stock price will be quite exciting."

……

At the same time, at Shen's Logistics Park.

The once bustling park was now in disarray. Managers from several major e-commerce platforms were huddled in the dispatch room, yelling at the Shen family's manager.

"Is this the stability you promised?"

"I heard that your Shen family is so desperate to suppress competitors that you even dare to impound legitimate transport vehicles? What if you impound our goods one day too?"

"We want to terminate the contract! We want to terminate the contract!"

Panic spread like a plague.

Meanwhile, a Google article titled "Deep Blue Logistics: A Safer, More Efficient, and More Neutral Urban Delivery Solution" was precisely pushed to the mobile phones of every logistics manager.

Bai Jingyou doesn't need to do much; he just needs to prove that the Shen family is crazy, and that's enough.

Inside the car, Bai Jingyou watched the Shen Group's stock price plummet on the tablet, his fingers lightly tapping his knee.

"Boss." Chen Mo, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror. "Shen Zhenyang just issued a summons, gathering the heads of several families in the capital. He's going to hold a 'Hongmen Banquet' at 'Zui Xian Lou' tonight and invites you... to attend."

"A trap?"

Bai Jingyou laughed, but it was a cold laugh. "The old man is getting impatient and wants to resort to underhanded tactics."

"Shall we go?" Chen Mo asked.

"Go." Bai Jingyou closed his eyes and said calmly, "Why not go? Since he wants to die with dignity, then I will go and see him off on his final journey."
