Chapter 496 Zhao Xiurong's ambition
Her competitors suddenly became so active and most platforms wavered unlike before. Even Zhao Xiurong complained a little and asked her to return.
How could Ling Qingyu go back when she laid off her hands? Never! But since someone targeted her wealth, she understood Qin family was behind the scenes again.
To be honest, she had numerous methods but she intended to solve it straight. Many liked to ask, why not compete in funding and attacked similarly. Ling Qingyu could invest in Qin's enemies and mess the latter's backyard.
Who was afraid of who? Her abundant wealth provided the confidence. Although one trillion was no longer there, the amount shouldn't be different since Athena and her business earned back multiple times. She wouldn't be surprised if her wealth even surpassed the former amount.
At least, it gave her time and opportunity to grow her strength and a higher possibility to wage war rather than currently having to attack others in an undignified manner.
Victory won by trickery might be a victory but they would never be truly respected. Only if she won fair and square would others respect her and the reputation she sought for would be achieved.
Otherwise, people would merely fear her and shout some nonsense like a ruthless woman, in Province N. She was talented yet people only feared her trickery and deception, not her entire strength.
Now things began to transform. With Yang Qingyue as her confidante and her new industries on the rise, Ling Qingyu reached a new realm. If they knew she had the strength to intervene in Province N politics slightly, that would be another big step.
In any case, in a business method aboveboard or underboard, she would never lose. Nonetheless, Ling Qingyu understood she still needed time. Now was the best moment for her to show her card.
Besides, all of her opponents and obstacles would vanish when she announced new products. Instead, it would revive and grow further. A transformation she needed.
Not to mention, she could test her employee's loyalty and their belief toward her. So, why not wait for the comeback?
Her comeback was based on Tang Ziyi's and Athena's bulletproof and 'vibranium-like' materials. Why not manufacture clothing with the special material as a foundation?
With talented designers as her background, she could create a luxurious costume while retaining safety for the wearer. She could raise the price astronomically, targeting the elite circles.
No rich people had shortages of money. As long as her product performed as she guaranteed, she strengthened her own brand and reputation. Even overseas markets were deemed possible. Plus, the network she connected through her products would surely contribute to the future.
Which rich elites didn't cherish their lives more than the other? In front of cameras, they would shout every righteous word but rarely did they dare to go to the frontline themselves.
Don't talk about others, even Ling Qingyu herself behaved the same. She wasn't ashamed because she understood being alive she could do more.
If Spirit Clothing products entered the elite markets, all those competitors and nonsense, her company had to face, would disappear. Qin family's manipulation, time and money would go down for naught.
They gained nothing at all and lost their investment. Wasn't the results her retaliatory moves? The only downside was that bigger fishes might lay eyes on her.
The overwhelming market and interest drew a big pie which she couldn't eat alone. That was conventionally speaking but Ling Qingyu dared to eat alone.
Rubbing her forehead, Ling Qingyu took a rest and closed her eyes, removing her glasses on the table. Athena also concentrated on the plan, Ling Qingyu devised.
The wind blew and the aroma of earth wafted into Ling Qingyu's nostrils. Mother Earth calmed her inner struggle.
After a while, she noticed someone took a seat and opened her eyes. Zhao Xiurong was staring at her with her palm over her chin, leaning against the table.
"Don't you have work to do?" Ling Qingyu asked with a dull face.
"You only see me as someone to drain all my use, what a capitalist mindset." Zhao Xiurong changed her expression and turned gloomy. "Should I not take a rest, Sister Ling?"
"Well, I don't mean that way. And I'm also figuring out new paths for future expansion." Ling Qingyu smiled and replied. "Please, take more rest if you need, Sister Zhao. Ask for more people to handle too. Remember you're no longer a secretary, you're a president. What you need is to direct people, and let your subordinates handle little matters.
Give them trust.
"Guide them, properly if they make mistakes. And you really don't need to burden yourselves, because I'll be there as your backing. So, move on with confidence." Ling Qingyu delivered a chicken soup to cheer her up.
Zhao Xiurong returned a steadfast gaze and sneered. She snorted and replied. "Don't think of me as high-schoolers who believe in those words of a successful person's tale."
"Haha as expected of Sister Zhao." Ling Qingyu laughed without any shame. "In fact, these are the fundamental truth. I saw it too late and was scared of betrayal."
Hearing Ling Qingyu admit, Zhao Xiurong raised her brow. Of course, she wasn't so naive to think the former Ling Qingyu had no guard against her.
Now, the girl even confessed, Zhao Xiurong softened her expression. "But it's never too late to change, right?"
"Of course, that's why I don't have any guilt." Ling Qingyu nodded as a matter of fact.
Zhao Xiurong wanted to beat Ling Qingyu in the head again. "You really want me to quit my job."
"Ah, Sister Zhao, you can't. You promise me with your share. How could you ruin your business?"
"I could also be a shopkeeper and hire an executive to take care of the company's business."
"You're so naughty, Sister Zhao." Ling Qingyu squeezed Zhao Xiurong's arm and shook playfully. "You can't rest yet."
Ling Qingyu briefed everything she had discussed with Athena, including the trip to take to Province S. As for bulletproof clothes, Zhao Xiurong was fully aware of Ling Qingyu's plans.
To think that Ling Qingyu dared to challenge Qin family, Zhao Xiurong expressed admiration. As expected of the elite woman, she intended to follow.
However, she never anticipated that Ling Qingyu now owned the technology of 7 nm chips. According to Ling Qingyu's wording, Zhao Xiurong heard a few suggestions that more advanced and developed products were already available.
She understood Ling Qingyu's subtext. Strength wasn't strong enough to hold the pie. Even then, a fully efficient and developed 7 nm meant a lot. The political circle would encounter a change in wind soon. Zhao Xiurong couldn't wait to see more.
