To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

The call was quickly transferred to Qin Lan.

Although Qin Lan is only the general manager, she has the final say in the Qin Group.

Qin's father held the title of chairman, but his role was merely that of an assistant.

The situation remained the same. Although Qin's father received the call from the Bai family first, he did not hesitate to give the choice to Qin Lan.

"President Bai? You wanted to see me?" Qin Lan's voice carried its usual languidness, yet it also revealed a hint of aloofness that commanded respect.

"President Qin, we're begging for your help this time!"

A hint of a smile appeared in Qin Lan's eyes. "Oh, help? Mr. Bai, you must be joking. With the Bai family's power, what can't they do? Do they need the Qin family's help?"

Bai Jianjun said, "I won't beat around the bush. President Qin has probably heard about the Bai family's affairs as well."

Bai Jianshe has gained the support of the Song family, which puts some pressure on me, so I need an assistant. President Qin, please help me restrain the Song family; name your terms.

Qin Lan was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled softly.

"Mr. Bai, as you know, the Qin family has always been honest in business. I can help you, but I won't help you for nothing."

The Bai family's commercial complex in the south of Jiangcheng is reportedly experiencing some difficulties lately. If you are willing to entrust the management of this area to our Qin family,

I guarantee that I'll chop off every hand the Song family extends.

Bai Jianjun's breathing visibly paused for a moment.

The commercial complex is a prime piece of real estate for the Bai family in the heart of Jiangcheng. Although it has suffered some losses in the past two years due to mismanagement, its fundamentals remain intact, and its value is at least three times that of the logistics park.

But right now he really doesn't have the time to deal with things in Jiangcheng. If he doesn't find the Qin family to counterbalance the Song family, and Bai Jianshe takes over, he'll have nothing left.

"Deal." Bai Jianjun said two words.

Compared to the misery that awaits him, what does this commercial complex mean to him?

Qin Lan smiled slightly: "President Bai is very generous. Don't worry, I'll take care of the Song family and provide you with the necessary support!"

Bai Jianjun was overjoyed. The Qin family's public support was enough to put him in an invincible position.

Three days later, the Qin family's management team officially moved into the Bai family's commercial complex.

On the surface, it was supposed to be helping Bai Jianjun "manage assets," but in reality, it had already become the Qin family's property.

Qin Lan looked at the report handed to her, licked her lips, and said, "Hehe, I'll have to reward my darling tonight. Hmm, I need to pick out an outfit—maid or uniform? It's such a difficult choice!"

Over the next two months, the struggle between the two factions of the Bai family intensified.

With the Song family's financial backing and the Qin family's connections, Bai Jianshe and Bai Jianjun were locked in a fierce battle at the Shanghai headquarters, holding small meetings every three days and large meetings every five days, arguing until midnight every time they met.

The board of directors was divided into two factions, with centrists either being won over or ostracized, leaving the entire Bai family in a state of panic.

Bai Jianshe and Bai Jianjun knew that their conflict could destroy the Bai family.

But now they can't back out.

The struggle has escalated to this point; it's no longer a simple battle for dominance, but a fight for the future of a lineage, and no one can concede!

While they were fighting amongst themselves, changes were quietly taking place in Jiangcheng.

The Zhao family was also won over by Bai Jianshe, who promised them benefits, including all the equity of two small and medium-sized suppliers under the Bai family.

Zhao accepted the offer with a smile and pledged to support Bai Jianshe.

Bai Jianjun then promised the Qin family benefits, hoping to gain more support.

This time, Jiang Jinhuan took two technology companies from the other party!

Next, under the guise of "assisting with cash flow," the Song family successively acquired two commercial land parcels and a building materials market from Bai Jianshe.

Meanwhile, Qin Lan, under the guise of "helping Bai Jianjun integrate assets," also acquired the supporting properties surrounding the commercial complex.

Everything was happening quietly.

The power struggle within the Bai family of Shanghai has reached a fever pitch.

Jiangcheng's industries were no longer a consideration for them.

Anything they could offer or promise, they gave away as bargaining chips to the Song and Qin families.

Of course, the Zhao family didn't miss out either. Jiang Jinhuan's company ate the least, but it was still enough for the Jiang family to have a blast.

As a top-tier wealthy family, the industries that the Bai family looked down upon were considered lucrative targets by the Jiang family.

At this point, the people in the Jiang Group were completely convinced of Jiang Jinhuan's abilities.

He became the de facto ruler of the Jiang family. Although he did not hold the title of chairman, it did not prevent him from exercising the power of a chairman.

The outcome of the internal strife within the Bai family came sooner than anyone expected.

Bai Jianshe and Bai Jianjun both suffered heavy losses and argued for three whole days at the board meeting. Neither could convince the other, and neither had enough votes to take control.

As a result, the Bai family is highly likely to split up.

This is absolutely a major earthquake in the business world.

The Bai family, a top-tier powerful clan in the demonic path, has fallen apart due to internal strife.

This would be big news anywhere.

"The Bai family patriarch was wise throughout his life, but in the end, he left his family with a mess!"

"Bai Zhenxiong was indeed a powerful figure in his time, but he also did many bad things and was ruthless to his own children, using the method of raising Gu poison."

He thought this would cultivate a qualified successor, but he never expected it would cause the Bai family to fall apart!

"Hehe, I heard that Bai Zhenxiong has been suffering from cerebral infarction and dementia and has been lying in bed all this time. I wonder how much longer he can hold on!"

"Once Bai Zhenxiong dies, the Bai family will be in complete chaos. His shares will probably cause those two in the Bai family to fight tooth and nail!"

"Serves him right!"

At this moment, Song's father sighed, "Jiang Jinhuan has been too ruthless this time; it's frightening! We're all just pawns in his game!"

Meanwhile, in the library of Jiangcheng University, Jiang Jinhuan closed his laptop, tidied up the documents on the table, and got up from his seat.

As he reached the door, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Song Qingci: "The Bai family's entire portfolio of businesses in Jiangcheng has been finalized. Your project proposal has exceeded its target."

Jiang Jinhuan glanced at it, didn't reply, put his phone in his pocket, pushed open the library door and walked out.

The early summer breeze, carrying a warm scent, blew against his face. He stood on the steps, looking at the sunset over the playground in the distance, and exhaled deeply.

He wasn't particularly happy.

Even though the Bai family has separated, they are still far superior to what he can currently compare to.

Bai Jianshe has been tricked by him this time; he'll realize it sooner or later.

The Bai family will definitely see him as a thorn in their side.

Therefore, he must have the ability to protect himself before the other party can react.

He took out his phone and made a call: "Have someone keep an eye on Bai Jianshe. I don't think he'll let this go easily. He might not be able to touch me in the short term, but who knows what will happen in the future!"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Lan sneered, "He wouldn't dare!"

Jiang Jinhuan said seriously, "Sister Lan, don't underestimate any opponent, especially a top-tier wealthy family like this. Even if they're down on their luck, they probably still have backup plans!"

Qin Lan said, "That's true!"

Perhaps no one knows better than the Qin family what a backup plan is!

"Alright, I'll have someone keep an eye on the Bai family!"
