Volume 2: High School - The White-Clothed Years?"Boss, you need to exercise more in your daily life. This period of time has been a bit too relaxed, and your explosive power and endurance are not enough. Just go for a run when you have nothing else to do." Kuroko said this on the training grounds.

  "Hmm, Zhou Yuan has been in J City for over a month now, and the situation doesn't seem to be very good." Ai Zi Qing hung her towel around her neck and sat down on the round chair at the edge of the court, frowning as she spoke.

  "Brother Yuan said on the phone yesterday that there's some trouble. Although the Wolf Head Gang in J City has retreated and its members have been dispersed, it's still a local underworld force with an unusual relationship with the police department. If we rashly move in, it'll affect the interests of some people, so..." Hei Zi said with difficulty.

  "Hmm, so those high-level officials who have been bribed secretly support the remnants of the Wolf Head Gang, attempting to resist external forces." Ai Zi Qing nodded thoughtfully, paused for a moment, and then spoke softly, "First, let's expand our Tian Industries in J City, we'll talk about other things after the company settles in."

  "Yes, I know." Hei Zi nodded in conviction. In this regard, he still had great faith in Ai Zi Qing. After all, the development of Jing Tian Group so far, she was always meticulous and flawless.

  "No, first let Ma Yuxi go to J City to open a branch of Yu Shi Xuan, after he has established connections, Qiantian Group will secretly enter, remember, don't use the name Qiantian for now, can register a shell company first, and expand business through Qiantian Group's channels, until it is stable, then merge with Qiantian Group, and take down J City in one move. Don't stop Zhou Yuan's side, on the one hand, it can shift their attention, on the other hand, although progress is slow, even if we eat less, it's still meat." Ai Ziqing said thoughtfully.

  The reason why Zhou Yuan and others cannot stop the underground forces from attacking J City is that the current chaos in J City is undoubtedly a key development opportunity for Jing Society. Although progress is difficult at present, if they were to stop, it would undoubtedly be a blow to the morale of Jing Society personnel. It's better to slowly grind with the other side first, and wait until the Jing Tian Group develops and establishes a solid foundation, then respond from within and outside, making J City unshakeable. This will make some high-level individuals in J City who have been affected by interests unable to easily shake things up, and they can only choose to cooperate at that time.

  "Yes, I'll inform Yuan Ge and Ma Yuxi tonight." Heizi was overjoyed, thinking that the president's words made sense no matter how he thought about it.

  "Spread the word outside, Qiantian Security Company saved Secretary Xu." Ai Ziqing suddenly laughed.

  "Ah, yes! My head!" Hei Zi patted his forehead, suddenly enlightened.

  In 1997, the central government had not yet given a clear order to crack down. Although it was not good to hear that the provincial party secretary and the underworld were mentioned together in extreme terms, there was little impact. In Xu Yandong's words, at worst, it would only have a "bad influence".

  But as long as it doesn't affect Ai Zi Qing's company, I believe Xu Yan Dong will handle the political storm himself. The main reason Ai Zi Qing is not afraid of leaking the relationship between his company and Xu Yan Dong is that they really have no connection now, and there's nothing to grasp onto. With a clear conscience, Xu Yan Dong can act without hesitation. Moreover, this news is true, so even if he publicly acknowledges being saved by Ai Zi Qing's company, it doesn't mean he's colluding with them. The benefits of doing so are enormous - not only can it open up a green light for the development of Tian Yun Group's industry, but also make those with ulterior motives think twice!

  "Hmm, if it's really not possible, I'll personally go to J City after a while and see what kind of venomous snakes and beasts they are." Ai Zi Qing said coldly.

  ==?

  At night, Ai Zi Qing lay on the small bed in her room, watching Xiao Qing crawl on her slender wrist. The snake's bright eyes made Ai Zi Qing fondly stroke it and softly say "Can't you find your way home?"

  Xiao Qing naturally didn't speak, but under Aizi's touch, she narrowed her snake-like eyes in enjoyment. She continued, "Yes, I seem to have lost it too." After a pause, she smiled again, "Or maybe I've found it."

  Every time she wakes up and faces her youthful face in the mirror, Aizi Qing would have a moment of confusion...

  In front of people, she has to be calm and composed. Behind the scenes, she is actually just an ordinary woman. Like many women on the street, even if her mental age is still under 30 years old, she has endured such a shocking change, shouldering unprecedented pressure to navigate between various industries, all in order to change her fate!

  Now that fate has changed its original trajectory and slid into the unknown, what is the effort for oneself in the future?

  Family, friends, brothers! ?

  Yes, since she has already stepped into the unknown future, then she must take responsibility for those people who have gathered around her for this and that reason. She needs strong power to protect her family, friends and brothers!

  Is there pressure? Yes, but she believes that these weak shoulders can also hold up a sky of their own! Control your own future! No longer fear the unknown fate!

  The little snake seemed to understand her words, and its small head nodded in Ai Zi Qing's palm, the soft and smooth sensation making Ai Zi Qing smile slightly.

  At this time, the mobile phone vibrated, Ai Zi Qing picked up to answer, and on the other end of the phone came Wang Wu's loud voice "Sister Qing! I'm Lao Wu, something has come up at Yang Shichang, Yuan Ge is not around, so I can only look for you directly!"

  "Hmm, what's wrong?" Ai Zi Qing asked softly.

  "Damn it, there's a group of people smuggling drugs in our Yang City, thinking they can evade taxes? Is that possible? Qing Jie, I'm listening to you, what do we do?" Wang Wu said with a rough and angry tone.

  "Pffft!" Ai Zi Qing burst out laughing, "Just because I'm carrying a company on my back, does that mean I'm evading taxes? This old five (a colloquial term for 'idiot') actually thought of this. Then she laughed and asked, "Have you found out who's behind it yet? Can't you just catch them directly? Do you need to ask me about such a small matter?"

  "Qing, sister Qing." Wang Wu paused for a moment, as if gathering courage, and said "From now on, our gang isn't just renting out security guards, taking on various tasks, or just watching the scene... The profits from drugs are huge, why doesn't our gang do it ourselves?"

  Ai Zi Qing was stunned. Yes, she is now the leader of Yang City's underworld, not just an ordinary woman. She needs to make every important decision that affects the future of the gang.

  Poisonous goods...?

  Do I really have to...?

  The development of the gang will not be forever limited to a corner of Yang City. If it doesn't advance indefinitely, it can only maintain its current state and wait for extinction! As for drugs, as long as they exist, it proves that people have demand. Even if the gang doesn't do it, others will still do it.

  The world is full of people seeking profit, the world is full of people chasing after gain.

  Taking Yang City as an example, if others are assumed to be doing it in Yang City, then one might as well do it oneself.

  What if the Gong Society were to ban opium in Yang City? This would undoubtedly provoke public outrage! Because you can never imagine how terrifyingly powerful interests can be!

  She is not a good person. As the Qiang Society continues to grow and expand, its internal personnel become increasingly mixed, and if she advocates for prohibiting drug trafficking within the Qiang Society's territory in the future, it will likely be opposed by various underworld forces, and even her own subordinates will have misgivings.

  And Ai Zi Qing, she always knew where she was and what she should do.

  "If there is a source of goods." Ai Zi Qing said with pursed lips.

  She is forcing herself to grow every moment, forcing herself to make some decisions, and these decisions are not only related to her personal tomorrow, but also to the development of the entire community tomorrow!
