The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Nie Qingyuan's heart skipped a beat. So this was the reason they came?

He quickly replied, "Yes, Zeng Wentao's company is indeed a member of our chamber of commerce."

"Does your Tenglong Chamber of Commerce not provide any resource support to companies that are affiliated with you?" Qin Zihao continued to ask.

"Young Master Qin is too kind. We will naturally provide resources and assistance to members of the Chamber of Commerce," Nie Qingyuan quickly explained.

"The Chamber of Commerce organizes its member companies to connect with projects and share channels every year. We never refuse to help if we can."

"Why doesn't it look like it to me?" Qin Zihao's tone was calm, but it carried an extremely strong sense of pressure.

Nie Qingyuan's heart tightened, and he quickly denied it, saying, "Young Master Qin, you've misunderstood. The Chamber of Commerce has always been willing to help its member companies whenever possible and do its best to find solutions for them. If any member company encounters difficulties, the Chamber of Commerce is also willing to lend a hand."

Qin Zihao narrowed his eyes slightly. "If what you say is true, then why hasn't the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce taken any action when Zeng Wentao's company ran into trouble? It's extremely difficult for him to even request a meeting with you?"

Nie Qingyuan was deeply shocked and secretly surprised.

He never expected that Zeng Wentao would be involved with the Qin family in Jiangnan.

If he had known this would happen, how could he have stood by and done nothing?

Without time to think too much, he hurriedly explained, "Young Master Qin, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that... I'm powerless to do anything about it!"

"Someone set a trap, luring Zeng Wentao into investing in a project and draining his company's cash flow. The other party even declared that anyone who dared to get involved would be his enemy."

"The power behind that person far exceeds that of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce. I dare not offend him lightly."

Therefore, regarding Zeng Wentao's matter, I was willing but unable to help!

Qin Zihao raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Who set this up?"

Nie Qingyuan swallowed hard and uttered a name: "Yang Qi, the third young master of the Yang family."

"The Yang family's Mingcheng Group has a market value of over 400 billion, which is terrifyingly large. The companies under my chamber of commerce have a market value of at most over 10 billion. Compared with them, they are nothing but ants, and I dare not be their enemy at all."

"Does Zeng Wentao have a grudge against Yang Qi?" Qin Zihao asked.

Nie Yuanqing shook his head and said, "I have no grudge against Yang Qi. So far, it was only Yang Qi who made the move to set me up."

"The conflict stems from Zeng Wentao's daughter, Zeng Zimo."

"At a banquet not long ago, Yang Qi acted frivolously and rudely when he was pursuing Zeng Zimo in front of everyone. As a result, Zeng Zimo rejected him in public and made him feel embarrassed, causing him to lose face in front of everyone."

"Yang Qi is a man who cares a lot about his reputation, so he held a grudge and threatened to make Zeng Zimo kneel in front of him and beg him to spare her father."

Qin Zihao listened quietly without responding immediately, but silently noted down the whole story.

No wonder Zeng Wentao ran himself ragged and begged people everywhere, but none of them would see him.

It turns out someone was preventing it from happening.

The companies under the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce are just small companies with assets of around 10 billion yuan.

Who would be willing to offend a behemoth with a market value of three or four hundred billion for the sake of a stranger?

But... he wants Zeng Ziming to kneel down and beg him? Does he even deserve that?

Qin Zihao snorted coldly, which frightened Nie Yuanqing so much that he didn't dare to breathe.

Since he enjoys making others kneel so much, let him taste what it's like to kneel and beg for help.

Qin Zihao tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he did not immediately lash out.

Seeing that Qin Zihao remained silent and thoughtful, without expressing his opinion for a long time, Nie Qingyuan tentatively asked:

"Young Master Qin, you summoned me not just for the Zeng Wentao matter, right?"

Qin Zihao smiled faintly, and instead of answering, asked, "What do you think?"

Nie Qingyuan gave a wry smile and said bluntly, "I dare to guess that Young Master Qin's target for this trip is the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce."

Qin Zihao nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation in his voice: "You're quite clever."

He genuinely admired Nie Qingyuan.

A person who can climb from the bottom to where they are today needs ability, skill, and luck—all three are indispensable.

Such a person, given a sufficiently large platform, will surely achieve great things.

He observed the hesitation on Nie Qingyuan's face and spoke frankly:

"Judging from your appearance, is following the Qin family something you're reluctant to do?"

"How could that be!" Nie Qingyuan knew in his heart that the two were worlds apart in status.

The Qin family's single investment can reach trillions, and their strength is enough to crush the entire Tenglong Chamber of Commerce.

With such a colossal entity before him, he, the president of a small chamber of commerce, barely even had the right to look up at it.

Given the Qin family's status, if they wanted to join the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, they could have simply sent a message through their secretary. Why would they need to arrange a face-to-face meeting with him?

Therefore, when he received the message that Qin Zihao wanted to meet him in person, he had already guessed the intention behind it.

The Qin family wants to take over the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce.

But he was still full of concerns.

Judging from the information he overheard from the upper echelons of society, the bigwigs in the capital's social circles did not think highly of the Qin family.

What kind of family is the Xie family? They are a family that has stood at the top of the pyramid in the capital for thousands of years, with an unfathomable foundation.

In the presence of such a family, calling himself an ant would be an understatement.

No matter how wealthy the Qin family is, if they were to clash head-on with the Xie family, the outcome would be uncertain.

If he were to follow the Qin family, and were to be defeated by the Xie family and destroyed, the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce, which he had built up with his own hands, would also be reduced to nothing.

But he was unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once missed, it's unlikely you'll ever have another chance to climb to the top.

To gamble, or not to gamble?

Nie Yuanqing struggled internally, unable to make up his mind for a long time.

Seeing that Nie Qingyuan was still hesitant, Qin Zihao did not urge him, but turned his head and instructed Shen Yue beside him: "Pour tea for Chairman Nie."

Shen Yue stepped forward in response, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured tea into the teacup in front of Nie Qingyuan.

The tea flowed very fast, instantly reaching the middle of the cup, and in a couple more breaths it would almost overflow the surface.

Nie Qingyuan's heart sank suddenly.

Even if he were stupid, he would have understood the hidden message behind this action at this moment.

Qin Zihao did not intend to give him ample time to weigh his options and make a decision.

If he doesn't give a reply before the tea is filled, he will have no further chance to express his opinion.

Shen Yue poured the tea very quickly, the tea already almost touching the rim of the cup. Nie Qingyuan's eyes widened suddenly, his heart filled with intense struggle.

He knew that Qin Zihao's patience was slowly slipping away with each cup of tea.

Nie Yuanqing thought to himself: With his current status, he would still have some face if he were in another province.

But in the capital, they are so insignificant that almost no one pays attention to them; if you leave them on the street, you won't even hear a sound.

He had no chance to speak in front of those important figures, just like Qin Zihao was forcing him to make a statement at this moment.
