CHAPTER 1304 BE MERCIFUL
After the Bao family was out of the picture, the three families rose up and everything actually became more balanced.
But they all knew well that nobody was willing to let their share go and everyone wanted more.
The economy in China was doing well and many corporations had plans to expand overseas. That was good business for them, and this as a business that made money without them doing anything.
But if the reputation of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce went down because of the Li family, then who was going to make up for this loss?
So the heads of the Cheng and Bai families came to look for Li Zhengshang not only to put pressure on him, but also to take away the Li family's share!
"We must minimize this bad effect," said Bai Feng. "Zhengshang, we've worked together for so many years, you shouldn't be so selfish."
Li Zhengshang had an unpleasant look on his face.
What could he say now?
Things had happened to the Li family and he couldn't hide it from them.
These two wily old foxes had come looking for him together, and Li Zhengshang knew they were after his share.
"Then what do you two want to do?”
Li Zhengshang's expression had also darkened.
Cheng Ruo was right. They had to think of a way to minimize the effect of this matter on their reputation, otherwise the ones who would lose out wouldn't just be the Cheng and Bai families. The Li family would stand to lose even more!
These two families were here to put him in a spot!
"It's not too difficult. We'll just need the Li family to temporarily back out of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and leave the running to us during this period of time."
Bai Feng quietly sighed. "This is for the good of all three of us."
"That's right!"
Before Li Zhengshang could say anything Cheng Ruo cut in, "This is for the good of all three of us. We can't allow the problems of the Li family to affect the rest of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Zhengshang, I'm sure you're very aware of this." All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
If the other two families were the ones with a problem, Li Zhengshang would use this method on them too.
This was the only way to salvage the situation. The only problem was that if he wasn't involved with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for a period of time and even completely back out for the time being, then it would be hard for him to come back or have enough power in his hands to negotiate for anything.
"The Li family will come back into the picture, but before that, you have to settle your own problems first."
Cheng Ruo continued, "As for who is making trouble for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Bai family and I will settle it. The Li family doesn't have to worry about this."
Li Zhengshang didn't say anything.
He sat on his chair and clutched the arm rests as he closed his eyes slightly. His heart was fuming away, but he showed none of it on his face.
"I need to think about it," he finally said after a long time as he turned to look at the other two.
"Of course, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will be my priority, you don't have to worry," he said in a serious tone.
"Fine, you can think about it. Make a decision quickly. The longer you drag this
out, the greater the loss will be to the Li family, so you'd better think about it carefully."
Cheng Ruo and Bai Feng stood up and exchanged glances. They both knew that Li Zhengshang would definitely agree because he had no other choice.
The two of them didn't say anymore. They left to arrange for other matters and quietly waited for the Li family to back out temporarily.
As long as the Li family was willing to back out, then that would probably become more than just a temporary arrangement.
Not long after the two of them left, Li Genhong returned to the house. He didn't care that he looked a mess or that his hair resembled a beggar's.
He hurriedly ran to his father and fell to his knees with a loud thud.
"Dad! I was wrong! I was wrong!"
I offended the wrong person! I really offended the wrong person!”
Li Genhong's voice was trembling and his face was void of color.
Li Zhengshang was really about to blow up. He looked at his son and tried to stop himself from killing him as he said with an icy voice, "What on earth is going on?”
"I...I've offended someone! Someone we can't afford to offend!"
Li Genhong knelt on the floor and his entire head was filled with Jiang Ning's name. He felt like he could even see how the Bao family and Qing Sect had been massacred...
"Go and beg him! Beg him to be merciful to us and let us off!"
