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

News of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce's assistance to Zeng Wentao quickly spread.

Many people wondered how Nie Yuanqing dared to ignore Yang Qi's warning. Could it be that he saw the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce was too complacent and wanted to find some challenges?

This has caused great anxiety among the owners of small companies affiliated with the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce.

The next day.

The atmosphere in the conference room at the headquarters of the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce was solemn and serious.

The tea on the table had long since gone cold, yet few people touched it.

Nie Yuanqing specially summoned all the senior executives, but did not mention the meeting agenda at all, which clearly indicated that he had something important to tell them.

Everyone present knew what important matter Nie Yuanqing was about to entrust.

He used a pretext to help Zeng Wentao despite Yang Qi's warnings, in order to appease the companies below him.

Nie Yuanqing sat in the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the table, his gaze sweeping over every serious and tense face in the room.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I have called you all here today because I have a very important decision to announce in front of you all."

He paused, then said, word by word, "The Tenglong Chamber of Commerce has decided to submit to the Qin family."

The news caused an uproar in the room.

They didn't expect that Nie Yuanqing's reason for helping Zeng Wentao wasn't actually the reason why the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce decided to include the Qin family!

The news was so shocking that they no longer cared why Nie Yuanqing had helped Zeng Wentao, because compared to the matter of submitting to the Qin family, Zeng Wentao's situation was insignificant.

Those present exchanged glances, unable to hide their shock.

Some even blurted out, "To submit to the Qin family?"

The news came so suddenly that almost no one expected it.

Many people immediately recalled the Qin family's recent surge in prominence.

First, they took over the Brahman Shi family in Qingshui County, then they made a trillion-dollar investment. Even when they were summoned for questioning by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau, they were able to get away unscathed.

This matter has already caused quite a stir in the Beijing social circles, which is enough to show the formidable strength of the Qin family.

Many high-ranking officials were shocked, but after a moment, some of them began to have a gleam in their eyes and started to make plans.

If we can get on the Qin family's big ship, won't we be able to get whatever we want in the future?

Putting aside everything else, just the Qin family's capital operations, which often reach trillions of yuan, mean that even a small amount of profit could make them incredibly wealthy.

Many people share the same thought.

With the powerful Qin family behind them, everyone in the Chamber of Commerce will be able to benefit and enjoy the profits.

They could even use this to elevate their status and position.

Just as everyone was discussing it and most were filled with anticipation.

A middle-aged man from the Chamber of Commerce named He Yan suddenly spoke up, breaking the noise in the meeting room.

"President Nie, what do you mean by that?"

He questioned in a deep voice, emphasizing each word, "This is a decision concerning the life and death of the Chamber of Commerce. By what right did you decide to submit unilaterally without consulting us?"

The other high-ranking officials in the surrounding area were very puzzled.

In their view, joining the Qin family was a rare opportunity, and they couldn't understand why He Yan was so vehemently opposed.

He Yan sneered and revealed the inside story to everyone: "Don't be too happy yet. According to my information, the Qin family is currently clashing with the He and Xie families and is now being suppressed and besieged by the Xie family!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent. Many people looked surprised and doubtful, and Nie Yuanqing also looked up at the other person with a somewhat inquisitive expression.

"The Xie family?" someone quickly pressed for the source of the information, "Is this information reliable?"

The CEO responded calmly, "Of course it's authentic. I have my own channels that allow me access to inside information within the upper echelons of Beijing's elite circles. Today, almost everyone in Beijing's upper-middle class is pessimistic about the Qin family, believing they won't survive this storm."

"Don't forget the Xie family's rich history!"

Just moments ago, everyone was full of hope to join the Qin family, but after hearing these words, their expectations were instantly clouded over.

Although those present had long been involved in business in the capital and had little exposure to high-level secrets, they were still well aware of the power dynamics among the major local forces.

The Xie family of Shangjing is a top-tier family with a thousand-year-old heritage. With profound foundations and strength that rivals the Wang, Bai, and Li families, they are a leading force in Shangjing.

The Xie family had deep roots in officialdom, involving many high-ranking figures and wielding considerable influence.

More importantly, the Xie family had just been invited to participate in the central meeting not long ago.

Previously, only the Wang, Bai, and Li families possessed this qualification.

This incident is enough to prove that the Xie family's strength has increased dramatically compared to the past.

Everyone secretly assessed the chances of the Qin family defeating the Xie family in its current state.

In their eyes, once the Xie family launches a full-scale commercial crackdown, the Qin family will find it difficult to withstand this fierce attack, and their chances of winning are slim.

At this time, relying on the Qin family would be too risky.

Everyone secretly weighed the options and realized that rashly siding with the Qin family at this moment would be a very unwise move.

One wrong move and you could not only fail to gain any benefits, but also get yourself into trouble.

The look in everyone's eyes as they looked at Nie Yuanqing gradually changed from surprise to seriousness and caution.

A senior member spoke first, advising, "President, the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce is nothing but cannon fodder in front of those giants in Beijing. Getting involved in the disputes of such top families is not something our size can handle."

The other senior executives also chimed in, offering their advice: "Yes, Chairman, think twice. We can't gamble the entire chamber of commerce on a game where the odds are so stacked against us."

"No matter how powerful the Qin family is, they can't defeat a thousand-year-old family like the Xie family. Isn't it better for our Tenglong Chamber of Commerce to develop steadily than to take risks?"

However, Nie Yuanqing remained steadfast and refused to back down.

He spoke slowly, his tone calm yet undeniable: "The Tenglong Chamber of Commerce was established under my leadership, which is why it has reached its current scale."

"Anyone who fears the risks of following the Qin family can choose to leave the Chamber of Commerce now."

His words carried great weight.

Everyone present knew that Nie Yuanqing wasn't saying this to them, but to those who wanted to obstruct him.

He made his stance clear: there was no room for negotiation regarding his submission to the Qin family.

He Yan immediately stood up and retorted, "President Nie, you're wrong. The Chamber of Commerce doesn't belong to you alone. All of us have also put in a tremendous amount of effort!"

"Take those big foreign trade companies for example. I personally lobbied and persuaded each of them to become affiliated with the Tenglong Chamber of Commerce."

The other senior executives echoed this sentiment, each recounting their own experiences in recruiting businesses and expanding the chamber of commerce:

"I had to run around all over the place to negotiate with those logistics companies back then."

"And those chain restaurants, I was the one who introduced them to them back then."

"During the years I was in the building materials business, I paved the way for the Chamber of Commerce quite a bit."

For a moment, everyone in the meeting room was talking at once, counting their own credits, as if whoever contributed more had the right to make the decision.
