The next day, at Longhu Manor.

Morning light streamed into the restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows, where steaming hot breakfast dishes were laid out on the tables, filling the air with their aroma.

Qin Zihao put down his milk glass, wiped his mouth, and looked at Qin Mao across from him, his tone calm yet solemn:

"Second Uncle, I have some business to attend to and need to go to Beijing. I'll leave the group's affairs to you during this time."

"What?" Qin Mao nearly dropped his cup. Without a second thought, he refused, "Didn't you just get back from the capital a few days ago? Why are you going back to the capital again?"

God knows how my nephew managed to get through those days when Qin Zheng summoned him to Beijing, sitting in the CEO's office every day.

He already had his own office floor, but suddenly, with all sorts of trivial matters in the group requiring his approval, he truly realized that the president's position was not easy to hold.

Every morning when he opens his eyes, he is greeted by a mountain of documents waiting for his signature; he is so engrossed in meetings that his throat is hoarse, and he is so bored with reports that he doesn't even have time to drink a cup of tea.

Qin Mao didn't really want to get involved in the company's affairs; he was only put into his current position by Qin Zheng, who was somewhat reluctant to push him.

He now spends his days dealing with his real estate business, which he finds just right. He's genuinely afraid of and unwilling to get involved in any more troublesome matters.

Qin Zihao clasped his hands together and said with a forced smile, "Second Uncle, could you please work a few more days? After you and Second Sister-in-law go on your honeymoon, I'll help you with your work matters, how about that?"

Qin Zheng sat in the main seat, holding a teacup, and looked over curiously upon hearing this.

Although he was puzzled, Qin Zihao didn't say what he was going to Beijing for, nor did he ask.

It's normal that my grandson is growing up and will be the head of the family in the future, so he may not want to talk about some of his private matters.

If you report everything to him, what's the difference between you and a child?

Qin Zihao felt a moment of nervousness when he saw his grandfather looking at him.

Fortunately, Qin Zheng only picked up his cup and took a sip of milk without asking what the trip to the capital was for, which made him secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing about her marriage to Qin Mao, Xu Qinghe lowered her head and ate her breakfast, her ears turning red, without uttering a word.

Qin Mao neither agreed nor refused immediately.

He was torn between whether to endure a few more days of hardship in exchange for a carefree honeymoon.

Thinking of Xu Qinghe, and then of the wedding that was not far away, the scales in his heart slowly tipped towards agreeing.

After hesitating for a moment, he felt the deal was worthwhile and agreed: "Alright, nephew, go ahead and do as you please!"

Poor Qin Mao thought Qin Zihao's trip to Beijing would be like before, lasting only three or four days at most. He never imagined Qin Zihao would be gone for almost half a month, only returning when his wedding was about to begin...

"Thank you, Second Uncle!"

After finishing his business with the group, Qin Zihao immediately got up to say goodbye.

On a private jet.

The cabin was quiet and comfortable, and outside the window were layers upon layers of clouds, shimmering with gold in the sunlight.

The flight attendant quietly served tea and snacks, then stepped aside, not daring to disturb them.

Shen Yue handed a document to Qin Zihao and said, "President Qin, this is the relevant information about the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce. Please take a look."

Qin Zihao took the document and carefully looked through it.

The Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, established for over twenty years, is one of the most influential business organizations in Beijing.

It has attracted the vast majority of small and medium-sized enterprises in Beijing, covering multiple industries such as catering, retail, logistics, building materials, and the Internet, with more than a thousand member units.

The purpose of the chamber of commerce is to band together for mutual support. Small businesses are weak and powerless when facing large capital alone. By uniting, they can negotiate prices, share channels, and exchange resources to maintain their place in the face of large capital.

For this reason, truly large enterprises generally do not need to be affiliated with such chambers of commerce.

They are wealthy and have their own connections and channels, so they don't need to associate with a group of small businesses.

The president of the chamber of commerce is named Nie Qingyuan.

He started his career in sales and gradually built his fortune to nearly 10 billion yuan. He is a well-known figure in the circle of small and medium-sized enterprises in Beijing.

After reading it, Qin Zihao closed the document, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The Xie family's commercial encirclement continues. In Jiangnan Province, the group is still working hard to develop its downstream supply chain, striving to avoid being held hostage by others in the future.

He knew better than anyone that if a company wanted to grow bigger and stronger, capital alone was not enough; it also needed to have a complete upstream and downstream supply chain firmly in its own hands.

The Xie family dared to target Zhenshi Group because of their extensive and intricate business empire.

Considering that the Qin family's business would eventually spread throughout the country and even the world, he had already planned to establish a presence in Beijing.

The Tenglong Chamber of Commerce was exactly the target he had in mind.

Although the chamber of commerce is small, it brings together most of the small and medium-sized enterprises in Beijing.

These companies may seem insignificant, but they control the capillaries of the Beijing market—raw materials, logistics, channels, and end consumers. Without them, the market would not function.

Taking control of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce would be equivalent to controlling the lifeline of the mid-to-lower reaches of commerce in Beijing.

At that time, not only will the Xie family's business encirclement and suppression be affected, but the entire business landscape of the capital will also be affected by him.

Since Zeng Ziming happened to be in the capital, I took the opportunity to do this.

Furthermore, since Xie Mingqiu dared to take action against Zhenshi Group, he would retaliate in kind.

He wanted to see how the Xie family would break the deadlock once the Qin family had won over all the mid-to-downstream enterprises in Beijing, and the Xie family didn't have enough downstream enterprises to provide raw materials.

When that happens, the Xie family's projects will be halted, orders will be defaulted on, and the supply chain will be disrupted. All those losses will become the price they regret for their past actions.

Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean the Qin family is easy to bully.

Shangjing.

Zeng Ziming had already suppressed her emotions and returned to her daily life.

She buried everything that happened that night at the Emperor Hotel deep within her heart.

She went to work as usual, attended meetings as usual, and chatted and laughed with her colleagues as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Only when the night is deep and quiet will she occasionally think of that tall figure standing under the neon lights, and the words, "Gu Tao is not someone you can entrust your life to," and then she will sigh softly and put down her phone.

On this rare day off, she was dragged by her best friend Meng Ting to go shopping.

Meng Ting's boyfriend, Liang Dong, accompanied her the whole way.

"Why don't I see Gu Tao around you anymore? Zi Mo? I remember he was pursuing you, wasn't he? He always followed you wherever you went," Meng Ting asked curiously.

Zeng Ziming shook his head and said: I don't know either.

After Gu Tao accidentally offended Qin Zihao at the Emperor Hotel, he never spoke a word to her again.

She did run into Gu Tao once in the last couple of days, but he kept his distance, as if he was really afraid of her.

Zeng Ziming knew that Gu Tao thought she and Qin Zihao were in a romantic relationship, so he didn't dare to get close to her, even though their families were on good terms.

The three were walking and chatting happily in the mall when a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from behind them: "Zeng Ziming?"

When Zeng Ziming heard someone call her name, she turned around and her eyes widened in surprise, sparkling with excitement.

I thought I would never see him again, but unexpectedly, we met again.

She replied with surprise, "Qin Zihao! Is it really you?"
