This aggressive questioning made Fang Wende feel very uncomfortable.
But at such a critical moment, he didn't dare to pursue the matter.
After all, the company still had to rely on Liu Ming right now.
As a manager of the company, Liu Ming's position was below Fang Wende's.
However, ever since Zhou Ying's Father passed away and Liu Ming saw Fang Wende's true colors, his attitude toward Fang Wende had become increasingly casual.
This was because he was extremely dissatisfied with, and even disgusted by, Fang Wende's actions.
If he weren't already at this age, Liu Ming would have left long ago.
But he had dedicated his youth to Zhengde Group and had deep feelings for the place, which was why he couldn't bring himself to leave.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Wende picked up a glass of plain water and blankly recalled the events of the day.
Seeing Fang Wende looking as if his spirit had been drained, Chen Haiyan's eyelids twitched.
She asked nervously, "What happened? Could what that kid said be true? Did something happen to the company?"
Although she couldn't hear the conversation just now, she could guess some of it.
Moreover, such an expression rarely appeared on Fang Wende's face; something very serious must have happened.
Fang Wende put down the water glass. His lips trembled slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
After letting out a helpless sigh, he grew angrier the more he thought about it.
His eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and his fingers gripped his phone tightly as if he were about to crush it.
He said through gritted teeth, "Tianlong Real Estate has suddenly blacklisted us. The company has stopped operating now."
Chen Haiyan's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this. She knew what this news meant for them.
The company was the result of their years of hard work, and Tianlong Real Estate was their company's greatest weakness.
Chen Haiyan's voice carried a hint of fear and confusion: "What on earth is that kid's background?"
To think he has such great power that he could get a giant like Tianlong Real Estate to blacklist them.
Chen Haiyan shook his arm and said anxiously, "What are you standing there for? Go find someone to help!"
Fang Wende took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Find who? This is Tianlong Real Estate. Do you know anyone who can compete with them?"
He had been thinking about it since just now, but there was no one in his social circle who could stand up to Tianlong Real Estate.
A surge of anger rose in Chen Haiyan's chest, and she shouted excitedly, "Find your sister! She's the one who caused all this. If you don't find her, who else are you going to find?"
At the thought of Fang Yuan and Jiang Cheng, Chen Haiyan was filled with anger and resentment.
If it weren't for Fang Yuan, these things wouldn't have happened to their company.
Seeing Chen Haiyan mention Fang Yuan, Fang Wende felt as if he had just woken from a dream.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go beg her."
After saying that, he immediately took out his phone and called Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was in Jiang Cheng's car. Seeing that it was Fang Wende calling, she pressed the answer button and turned on the speakerphone.
"What is it?"
"Girl, Girl, save your brother."
Fang Wende continued, "Tianlong Real Estate suddenly blacklisted my company. Was it your son-in-law's doing? Help me plead with him. My company won't be able to hold on like this..."
Hearing Fang Wende's desperate voice, Fang Yuan's heart tightened, and she glanced at Jiang Cheng in the driver's seat.
After hesitating for a moment, she directly cut off the call.
After hanging up, Fang Yuan turned off her phone.
Hearing this, Zhou Ying knew it must be related to Jiang Cheng. She leaned forward and asked him, "Tianlong Real Estate? Do you know them?"
The name of Tianlong Real Estate was like thunder in Chengdu; Zhou Ying and Fang Yuan naturally knew of it.
Jiang Cheng nodded. "I met them yesterday when I went with you to buy Wangjiang Residence. Wangjiang Residence belongs to Tianlong Real Estate."
"You mean President Cheng?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng nod, Zhou Ying continued, "You only met yesterday. Why would he be willing to help you blacklist my uncle's company?"
Jiang Cheng said casually, "Probably because I bought two houses from him?"
"Oh, I see. Then he's actually quite a nice person."
Seeing Zhou Ying's naive appearance, Fang Yuan couldn't help but facepalm.
Her daughter was good in every way, except she was too simple-minded.
How could there not be something fishy between Jiang Cheng and Tianlong Real Estate?
Tianlong Real Estate is an industry giant; could Jiang Cheng really move them?
There must be something more to this.
While thinking, Fang Yuan looked at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng seemed to feel her gaze and looked back at her through the rearview mirror.
As their eyes met, Fang Yuan was the first to look away.
"Jiang Cheng, your relationship with the boss of Tianlong Real Estate shouldn't be ordinary, right? Isn't this a rather large favor to owe?" Fang Yuan said slowly.
Jiang Cheng didn't hide anything and told the truth: "I will be collaborating with Tianlong Real Estate to invest in a project on the Eastern Outskirts, so helping me with this isn't a big problem."
Fang Yuan nodded in understanding. "So that's how it is. Then what will happen to his company?"
"For now, it should just suffer a heavy blow. It's not quite at the point of bankruptcy, but..."
His voice trailed off, as if he were considering whether to continue.
"But what?" Fang Yuan pressed.
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "But it's not over yet. As for whether he can hold on after this, I don't know..."
In the plan, after Chen Gui took the lead, it would be the turn of the Security Team to step in. That's why Jiang Cheng said it was uncertain if Fang Wende could hold on.
Fang Yuan understood Jiang Cheng's meaning and said directly, "I've already cut ties with them. Their affairs naturally have nothing to do with me anymore. I'm just afraid it will bring you trouble."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry. My collaboration with Tianlong Real Estate is based on mutual interests. This matter has no impact on our cooperation."
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm relieved to hear you say that. You really are very good to Zhou Ying."
Jiang Cheng glanced at Fang Yuan and replied, "Of course. I will be good to you both."
Fang Yuan gave an awkward cough upon hearing this, while Zhou Ying, beside her, smiled sweetly.
Seeing that his call had been hung up by Fang Yuan, Fang Wende cursed and dialed again.
