Chapter 59: No one is his rival!
And the situation of the Su-Wu battle has caused a huge sensation in Yuncheng.
"What the hell is going on? Wasn't it the Wu family attacking the Su family? How come Wu's stocks keep falling while Su's stocks, which started dropping just now, are rapidly rising again?"
"I heard that the Hua Feng Bank, which had close cooperation with the Wu family, suddenly withdrew its investment, and several companies it invested in also severed ties with them."
"Do you guys know? Not only did Hua Feng Bank withdraw its investment, but it also formed a partnership with the Su Group!"
"What?! Damn! Su Group managed to get in bed with Hua Feng Bank?"
"How is that possible? The Song family is one of the top-tier families in Tianhai. How could they be interested in the Su family?"
"Do you think Su Yu orchestrated all this?"
"No way! Absolutely not! Su Yu is just a young guy. How could he catch the eye of the financial god, Song?"
"I have a feeling it's Su Yu! This time, he said he will wipe out the Wu family, and now look at what happened to them."
"If that's true, then Su Yu is terrifying."
"Why does this feel so surreal?"
"Is Su Yu still the bootlicker we remember?"
…
In every social circle of Yuncheng's upper-class society, people were discussing the Su-Wu battle. Even many prominent families in Tianhai Province were paying attention. Everyone began to regard the Su family with admiration.
After all, no one was able to shake the Wu family's position for so many years. Yet the Su family was able to go head-to-head with them, demonstrating their strength.
Su Yu's name became prominent alongside the Su-Wu battle.
Soon, with a series of measures taken by Wu Tianlin, the Wu Group finally halted its decline. People who were following this business war resumed their discussions.
"Look, Wu Group's stocks are recovering."
"All those rumors and insider information have been wiped clean. Wu family announced a partnership with Changteng Group and Jinghua Group."
"After all, Wu family is the Wu family. They easily resolved this minor setback. Thinking some rumors and the involvement of Song Yi could bring down Wu family? What a joke!"
"Su family is doomed, Su Yu is doomed. Let's see how arrogant he can be. Even his woman should dump him this time."
…
In Lin Mansion, as the top family in Yun City, the Lin family's control over the city was almost impenetrable. Anything happening in Yuncheng, the Lin family would know almost instantly.
In fact, many big shots in Yuncheng, including Wu Tianlin, the head of the second-ranked family, believed that there is only one true family in Yuncheng, and that is the Lin family.
Compared to the Lin family, the Wu family was far behind.
At this moment, important figures of the Lin family were gathered together, discussing the Su-Wu battle that happened today.
"I have to say, Su Group is impressive to have such a turnaround."
"Who do you think will win this time?"
"Of course, it's the Wu family. The methods of the Wu family are not to be taken lightly."
"That's right. The counterattack by the Su Group is interesting, but that's about it."
"This Su Yu will eventually pay the price for his reckless remarks."
"Ruoxuan, what do you think of this situation?" The patriarch of the Lin family turned to Lin Ruoxuan, who was excitedly reading news about the Su-Wu battle on her phone, and asked affectionately.
Lin Ruoxuan looked up, smiled, and said, "Grandfather, there's no need to speculate on this matter. The Su family will undoubtedly win, no, Su Yu will win."
In an instant, the entire scene fell silent. All eyes were fixed on Lin Ruoxuan.
Lin Ruoxuan's remarkable talent in business won her the affection of the elders in the Lin family, especially the patriarch.
"Do you think all of this was done by Su Yu?"
"Grandfather, of course, all of this was done by Su Yu. Uncle Su doesn't have this kind of capability," Lin Ruoxuan said with a smile.
The slight frown on the patriarch's face revealed his sensing of the immense trust Lin Ruoxuan had in Su Yu.
"Why?"
"Grandfather, there's no particular reason. Oh, by the way, grandfather, when Wu Group is defeated, we shouldn't touch their assets. Let Su Yu handle it," Lin Ruoxuan suddenly said.
What if that enemy gets angry and ignores her if she takes over Wu's assets? She didn't dare and couldn't bear to make him angry.
The room fell into silence. Even the experienced patriarch, who had seen countless things, was taken aback.
While the Su family displayed strength, in his eyes, it was merely children fighting. What was his beloved granddaughter talking about?
After Wu Group goes bankrupt, let Su Yu handle their assets? What kind of talk is that? Assets should go to those with capability, not like ancient times where the winner takes all.
Now, it's about who has the strength to obtain the assets. The key question is whether the Su family can actually defeat the Wu family. Isn’t this just a joke?
Even he didn't believe that the Su family could win. After all, the scale of the group was there. The Su family's attempt to challenge the bigger opponent was like striking a rock with an egg.
"Ruoxuan, explain your reasons," the patriarch asked again. He was particularly curious why his granddaughter, who was exceptionally gifted in business, held such high regard for the Su family.
"Grandfather, there really isn't a reason. Well, I have to prepare for tonight's reception," Lin Ruoxuan said with a smile, turning to leave.
There was something she didn't say. Even though the Lin family was powerful, in that enemy's eyes, they were just slightly bigger pieces of meat.
Who has ever seen a knife unable to cut because the piece of meat is slightly bigger? Moreover, that was an extremely sharp blade.
"Is our cousin's brain not working today?"
"It seems so."
"Is she still half asleep? How could Su Group possibly win?"
...
The voices of the crowd arose one after another.
"Alright, today's discussion ends here. None of the words spoken here are to be leaked, understood? Disperse," the patriarch spoke calmly.
"Yes, grandfather."
"Yes, patriarch."
...
The crowd dispersed.
"Does Ruoxuan know Su Yu or have a close relationship with him?"
The patriarch looked at the butler standing nearby.
"Sir, Miss Ruoxuan has no connection whatsoever with Su Yu."
The patriarch furrowed his brow. Then he shook his head and said, "Keep an eye on Ruoxuan recently. I feel something's off about that girl."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "One more thing, spread the word that the Lin family will not assist either side in the Su-Wu battle."
As the top family, if he wanted to assist one side, that side would essentially win. Lin Ruoxuan's words just now made him think she would secretly help Su Yu.
If Lin Ruoxuan knew about it, she would definitely laugh. Will that man even need assistance? In this world, no one has appeared who can be his rival yet!
