158: The blade dances? No, it explodes on the spot!

Jiang Yuan returned home full of worries and immediately grounded Jiang Feng.

"Until this matter is resolved, you are not to step one foot out of this house."

Jiang Feng said with a mournful face, "Mom, look at him, is this even my real dad? He apologizes to outsiders and then turns around to bully his own son."

"Be a good boy! Listen to your father."

Hearing his mother softly advise him with a frosty expression, Jiang Feng returned to his room, albeit reluctantly.

Jiang Yuan said coldly, "Daring to bully me, Jiang Yuan? Not even Wang Jiawei can get away with it!"

"Old Jiang, calm down. It's not worth it for an outsider," Mother Jiang advised.

"Call the cooperative General Managers. Investigate that Lu fellow's background thoroughly. If he doesn't have any real substance, find someone to finish him off!"

Jiang Yuan was being ruthless. He hadn't built his career from scratch by operating within the law.

Anyone who dared to block his path of progress had to be removed, even someone as powerful as Wang Jiawei.

"By the way, tell Crazy Rabbit, Miss Bai, that we are willing to cooperate and work with Crazy Rabbit to seize Nifeng Express's market share in the eastern region of Dragon Xia."

Jiang Yuan's abacus was clicking loudly. Once Crazy Rabbit took down Nifeng Express, he wanted to see how Wang Jiawei could still be so arrogant.

But before he could make the call, the phones of several cooperative General Managers rang first.

"Old Jiang, what are you doing? Why did Nifeng Express suddenly release an announcement terminating their cooperation with you?"

"Is there some misunderstanding? Wang Jiawei is not an impulsive person."

"Until your Group restores its cooperation with Nifeng Express, let's put our projects on hold."

"Did you offend Wang Jiawei? Hurry up and apologize to him."

Jiang Yuan was flustered by the calls from the General Managers. He hadn't even made his move yet, but Nifeng Express had already taken the initiative.

But he wasn't afraid; after all, having clawed his way up for so many years, surely he still had a few staunch "allies."

"Old Jiang, we've known each other for so many years. It's not that I don't want to help you, but you've really hit a steel plate this time. Hurry up and apologize."

"A steel plate? Although Nifeng Express has some strength in the capital, it doesn't count as a very hard steel plate, does it?"

"What Nifeng Express? I'm talking about Julong Steel. Are you still asleep?"

"What Julong Steel? I only met Wang Jiawei from Nifeng Express this evening," Jiang Yuan said, puzzled.

"Sigh, just go online and look for yourself. All the media outlets are buzzing about it now."

Hearing his old friend sigh and hang up the phone, Jiang Yuan felt as if the sky had collapsed.

If Nifeng Express was an established behemoth, then Julong Steel was a newly emerged mysterious force.

Ordinary people couldn't even enter the factory, let alone meet Lu Shenwei.

When Julong Steel rose to power two years ago, many General Managers had planned to find Lu Shenwei and get a piece of the pie.

As a result, they couldn't even enter the factory gate, let alone see Lu Shenwei himself.

Jiang Yuan anxiously opened the news on his phone, and a red-letter pinned message caught his eye — [General Manager of Jiangyuan Logistics gone crazy? Angrily confronting Julong Steel's Lu Shenwei!]

Then, the second headline was even more glaring — [Jiangyuan General Manager dancing on the blade, challenging Nifeng Express's hegemony! Fiercely trampling on Julong Steel!]

Who the hell is spreading these rumors? I was clearly apologizing to the two big shots!

Jiang Yuan knew the situation was critical. Disregarding the late hour, he urgently summoned the company's senior management to hold a crisis public relations meeting.

"Chairman, Nifeng Express just sent an official letter terminating their cooperation with us."

The board secretary handed over the letter, and Jiang Yuan frowned: "Nifeng Express is terminating the contract without cause and has to compensate us at least 5 million. Has Wang Jiawei gone crazy?"

"The compensation has already been transferred, and the Nifeng Express official website has also posted an announcement stating that they will never cooperate with us again."

"What!?!"

Jiang Yuan was shocked. Was Nifeng Express planning to break ties with them completely?

"Is there any movement from Julong Steel?" Jiang Yuan asked again.

"There is no movement on the Julong Steel official website, but rumors say that Lu Shenwei is very angry and insists that you..."

The board secretary stopped halfway, and Jiang Yuan asked anxiously: "Does he want me to apologize?"

"Lu Shenwei said you must kowtow three times to him for this matter to be settled."

"What?!? Preposterous!"

Jiang Yuan was furious. This was unbearable!

"Did he really say that?"

"It's a rumor online; you can't believe everything."

"Some of these hearsay rumors aren't necessarily false."

Jiang Yuan took a sip of water, suppressing the anger in his heart. Since he had already publicly broken ties with Nifeng Express, he couldn't worry about so much else.

"Connect me to Crazy Rabbit, Miss Bai. At this point, I can only talk to her."

As long as Crazy Rabbit was willing to intervene, if the two companies joined forces to deal with Nifeng Express, Jiangyuan Logistics wouldn't necessarily lose.

What about Julong Steel? You can't be above the law.

The board secretary nodded and dialed Miss Bai's number, but the other party showed as unavailable.

Just then, the administrative assistant rushed in and reported: "Chairman, it's bad! Crazy Rabbit has also issued an announcement to terminate the contract with us!"

"What? Say that again!"

The administrative assistant repeated what he had just said, and Jiang Yuan, looking like he had lost his parents, collapsed into his boss chair.

In his mind echoed the words Crazy Rabbit, Miss Bai, had once said: "If you are not at the dining table, then you are on the dinner plate."

Now it seemed that Crazy Rabbit had decisively made the decision to cut ties with Jiangyuan Logistics and was ruthlessly devouring Jiangyuan Logistics' market share in the express delivery industry.

Jiang Yuan wouldn't give up; he immediately dialed the number of a certain District Chief in the capital.

A camel that is dying is still bigger than a horse, not to mention that Jiangyuan Logistics wasn't dead yet, and it still had influence.

How could Jiang Yuan know that he was at the center of a storm? Any leader who cherished honor and credibility would not answer his call.

"Why won't anyone answer the phone? I just had dinner with the leaders yesterday." Jiang Yuan raged helplessly.

The administrative assistant reported again: "Chairman, three more cooperative companies have announced the termination of their contracts with us."

"Damn it! Haven't I given them benefits? Everyone is just a weather vane! Where is their business credibility?"

Jiang Yuan smashed his phone, without a hint of reflection on how he used to exploit cooperative enterprises everywhere and often withhold payments.

He had even caused many cooperative owners to lose their families and livelihoods. Evil deeds will surely lead to one's own destruction; this was the fate he deserved.

The next day, the industry and commerce, tax, and fire departments conducted a joint inspection, and Jiangyuan Logistics announced an indefinite suspension of operations.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Jiawei said with surprise: "I didn't expect Director Lu to act so quickly; he took care of that old bastard Jiang Yuan in just one night."

"Eh? Wasn't it you who acted?" Assistant Chen asked in surprise.

Wang Jiawei laughed and replied: "We don't have that much power; we were just borrowing Director Lu's prestige to bluff."

When a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it.

"Director Lu said he wants to walk around with Miss Bai today and doesn't need us to accompany them."

"Follow Director Lu's wishes, but send a car to follow them; after all, they aren't familiar with the capital."
