Chapter 351 - 322: Isn’t Ning Ruoxi a Simpleton?
Chapter 351: Chapter 322: Isn’t Ning Ruoxi a Simpleton?
"To tell you the truth, I never once considered targeting you. You just aren’t important enough," Ye Ling said coolly.
Gaoxun felt a wave of humiliation wash over him at Ye Ling’s words, but he couldn’t refute them...
Ye Ling wasn’t just bluffing.
Given the power Ye Ling had demonstrated, the gap between them was undeniably immense.
If Gaoxun hadn’t been the first to provoke him, Ye Ling might have gone his entire life without ever noticing someone like him.
Life is just that cruel.
Sometimes, people are simply on different levels, divided into different tiers.
If you want to meet better people, you have to work harder to enter higher social circles. Only then can you get to know better people and live a better life.
And societal progress is often driven by the gradual accumulation of such thoughts from countless individuals.
"Young Master Ye, then what you mean is..." All traces of Gaoxun’s earlier arrogance were gone. At this point, his pride had been utterly shattered by Ye Ling.
Sometimes, destroying a person is simple. You don’t need to kill them or anything like that; you just need to grind their confidence into dust.
From now on, his entire life would be lived under the shadow of this moment...
"I told you before. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it. Now that Ning International has stepped in, things can’t possibly end so easily," Ye Ling said.
The meaning behind his words was blunt. If Gaoxun had begged for mercy earlier, the conflict would have remained a simple confrontation between Shengding Group and Tianxun Group. It would have been much easier to resolve.
For Tianxun Group, the loss might have just been a single business partner: Shengding Group.
But now, Ning International was involved!
The situation had already escalated.
"From now on, Shengding Group and Ning International will cease all coordinated efforts against Tianxun Group. However, you will have to bear the consequences of the damage that’s already been done."
Ye Ling stated his terms.
"I understand. Thank you for your mercy, Young Master Ye!"
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, Gaoxun sighed internally. ’This time, Tianxun Group is probably really finished.’
Even if Ning International and Shengding Group stopped targeting Tianxun Group, what difference would it make?
The companies that had already terminated their contracts with Tianxun Group wouldn’t care about the current state of affairs!
After all, Tianxun Group wasn’t an irreplaceable partner. There were plenty of other real estate companies that could take its place...
Those companies had likely already found replacements by the time they terminated their contracts. It was impossible that they would turn around and resume their partnership with Tianxun Group.
Of course, Gaoxun also understood that Ye Ling’s words meant he was letting Tianxun Group off the hook.
If Ye Ling had insisted on pressing the attack, there would be no place left for Tianxun Group in all of Xia Country...
By comparison, the current outcome didn’t seem so bad.
After all, Tianxun Group still had a chance to make a comeback.
Having stated his terms, Ye Ling hung up the phone.
"Did someone from Tianxun Group call to apologize?" Ning Ruoxi asked from the side as Ye Ling ended the call.
"Yeah, they did."
Ye Ling nodded and added, "But honestly, it’s too late. Tianxun Group is already at a dead end."
Under the combined pressure from Shengding Group and Ning International, Tianxun Group had no power to resist whatsoever. They were like fish on a chopping block, ready to be carved up.
"They brought this all on themselves! You gave them a chance, and they didn’t take it. The real world isn’t school. People have to take responsibility for their actions!" Ning Ruoxi said.
"Exactly."
Ye Ling nodded in agreement.
The real world isn’t a school!
Maybe in school, if you do something wrong, the administration might take into account that you’re still a kid, give you a slap on the wrist, and lecture you a bit...
But once you’re in the real world, nobody cares if you’re just a kid!
If you really cross a line, then you’ll have to answer to the law.
Sure, Tianxun Group might have had a tough time building itself up, but so what?
Since Gaoxun made a mistake, he had to pay the price.
"You have class this afternoon, right?" Ye Ling asked, suddenly remembering something.
"Yeah, I do."
Ning Ruoxi nodded.
"I’ll take you to school. It’s been a while since I’ve been there myself, anyway." Ye Ling stretched and stood up.
In reality, classes at Modu University had started almost a week ago, but he had barely attended any. There had just been too much going on.
The situation with Gaoxun was actually a minor issue. He had spent the last few days mainly dealing with matters concerning Tianxin Technology Company.
The battle against Mitsubishi Technology Company was about to begin. To ensure there were no mistakes, Ye Ling had done his homework thoroughly.
He wasn’t an arrogant person. Even with the trump cards the system had given him, he didn’t let his guard down.
The system could help him, but ultimately, it was only help. It couldn’t just hand him the results on a silver platter...
You can even fail to beat a video game, so how could the real world be any different?
The system was an incredible, almost cheat-like tool, but it still required its host to use it wisely to get far.
Ye Ling understood this point deeply.
"Okay," Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently.
Ye Ling led Ning Ruoxi to the parking garage. After a moment of consideration, he chose the Pagani Zonda R, which he hadn’t driven in a long time.
