"What have you been up to? Not answering the phone."

"Earning a salary, got to work, right?"

"Went to work? Why didn't you take me with you, I'm so bored."

"Didn't you make up with Pan Yang?" Fang Qing closed the door.

Tong Dan turned around and gave a big eye roll.

"We didn't fight, so there's no making up. We cleared things up and agreed to be friends going forward."

Fang Qing walked toward the kettle, poured a glass of water, and said while drinking, "Just letting things go naturally is nice."

"Yeah, my mom keeps calling and asking how we're doing now; I'm getting a headache. Instead of having them hassle us, it's better to just drag things along like this."

Tong Dan, who had been adamantly opposed before, now showed some signs of compromise, even if just a little.

This is change.

Fang Qing obviously knew that Tong Dan actually had a good impression of Pan Yang, although it definitely wasn't on the level of liking.

"You're right. If your parents introduce you to someone worse than Pan Yang, it's even more trouble."

Tong Dan chuckled.

"Qing Gege, I haven't seen you working before. Why the sudden busyness? What exactly are you and Jiang Chen doing in Japan?"

She shifted the topic and casually asked.

Fang Qing stood there holding the water cup, "Take a guess."

"Guess whether I'll guess or not."

Tong Dan pursed her lips and deliberately said, "So mysterious, must be up to no good."

Fang Qing neither agreed nor disagreed.

"Got some good news for you."

"Hmm?"

"That Xu Jing can no longer pose a threat to you."

Tong Dan was startled, "What's happening?"

"Jiang Chen promised to help you vent your anger. Xu Jing has been fired from Dongyue Chemical."

In fact, being kicked out of Dongyue Chemical was just the beginning.

Xu Jing didn't react excessively in her madness.

Having chosen to become a Japanese citizen, she might struggle to find a foothold in Japan next.

Of course.

Cleaning garbage on Tokyo streets shouldn't be a problem.

"Fired from Dongyue Chemical?"

Tong Dan was even more shocked, "Is it true?"

Fang Qing came over, "She has two properties in Tokyo, with huge monthly mortgage repayments. Losing her job, without high salary income, and considering the current slump in Japanese real estate, she has no energy to trouble you anymore."

Solving problems.

Should address the essence of the problem.

Why could Xu Jing command the Yamaguchi-gumi? It was because she relied on the social status and economic power of Dongyue Chemical.

And now.

Survival might be difficult.

"...How did you manage it?"

After dazing for a while, Tong Dan stupidly asked.

"You've thought of clinging to Boss Jiang's power; don't you understand Boss Jiang's capabilities?"

Tong Dan roughly knew Jiang Boss's level; even if not crystal clear, she could at least glimpse a general outline.

"Do you have collaborations with Dongyue Chemical?"

Tong Dan tentatively guessed.

If it were an important partner, requesting someone be fired cannot likely be refused.

Ultimately.

That Xu Jing to Dongyue Chemical was just a "staff" as well.

Fang Qing shook her head, "The commercial relationship between Shen Zhou and Japan is at a historical low; how could there still be trade exchanges between bilateral enterprises."

"Then..."

Without needing Tong Dan to ask, Fang Qing explained, "We invested in Dongyue Chemical."

Tong Dan's eyes widened, stunned for a long time, opened her mouth, "Qing Gege, are you kidding me for fun?"

"I just got back from Dongyue Chemical."

Fang Qing explained succinctly.

Although Jiang Boss might not be serious, slick, Qing Gege is always a factual person.

Though unbelievable, Tong Dan forced herself to accept this sudden information, then said, "Then Pan Yang... why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Still concerned about the other person.

"It's not late now."

"Why is it not late?"

Tong Dan said, "Pan Yang and his colleagues have already been laid off."

"He's indeed not a foreign employee of Dongyue Chemical now; he's now the representative of our second-largest shareholder on the board of Japanese Chemical."

Tong Dan was dumbfounded again.

"So he might not have much time to accompany you next."

Fang Qing drank water.

Tong Dan pulled a fake smile, seemed like a laugh but not quite.

Looking at her sister acting as if nothing happened, she suddenly raised her voice.

"So! We've known each other so long, never got to cling to his power, instead, someone else got there first!"

Fang Qing almost choked on her water.

"If you're looking for him, go upstairs."

Dare to go?

Of course not.

"Why didn't you guys tell me earlier? Look at this, he's advancing in leaps and bounds, and what about me? How am I supposed to interact with him on equal terms in the future?"

Tong Dan immediately started complaining.

"Are you worried he'll look down on you?"

Fang Qing asked with a smile.

Tong Dan shot her a glare.

Of course, it was all a joke.

Both knew very well why Pan Yang was soaring high.

Wasn't it because of her, the beautiful Tong Dan?

He would certainly not look down on her anyone.

And Pan Yang wasn't that sort of person anyway.

"Dongyue Chemical is one of the Fortune 500 companies after all. Can it be acquired just like that?"

Tong Dan wasn't jealous, nor did she resentfully question why they chose Pan Yang instead of her.

How long had Pan Yang been working at Dongyue Chemical.

And what about her.

She knew nothing.

"The stock crash in Japan led to a sharp drop in the stock prices of all Japanese companies. Even if Dongyue Chemical didn't want to sell, they couldn't control the stocks in the hands of individual investors."

Even though Tong Dan didn't understand business and finance very well, her social circle wasn't lacking in privileged kids. She looked at Fang Qing with shock, slowly catching on to something from what Fang Qing said.

"The stock crash in Japan, was that your doing too?!"

Fang Qing remained silent, neither admitting nor denying it.

Jiang boss hadn't explicitly said whether to tell Tong Dan, but since Pan Yang was chosen, it meant Tong Dan would find out sooner or later.

They had been friends for so long, knowing each other since youth, there was no need to hide anything.

"Oh my god!"

Tong Dan was unsurprisingly stunned, almost jumping up, ruffling her hair in rare frustration as a shiver ran down her spine.

She knew Jiang Chen was extraordinary now and tried to stretch her imagination, but still found her understanding too limited.

"Jiang Chen... Just what level is he on now? How rich is he exactly?"

This was a heartfelt, involuntary soul-searching question.

"I don't know."

Fang Qing didn't hide anything; she genuinely couldn't provide an answer.

Though childhood friends, she now really felt like seeing Jiang Chen's capabilities through a foggy veil.

Of course.

She had never cared about this question anyway.

"You don't know? Qing Gege, you're the closest to him, how could you not know?"

Tong Dan blurted out, without even thinking.

Of course.

This might also be her truest thought deep down.

Having witnessed this massive financial war unfold, from planning to outbreak to advance, Fang Qing took a sip of water.

"He wouldn't show me his bank account balance."

Tong Dan couldn't help but grin, then furiously ruffled her hair again, breathing heavily and rapidly.

"And a man has more than one wallet."

Tong Dan looked at Fang Qing with a slightly puzzled expression.

"How many then?"

"Three."

"Three?"

"How much money you actually have. Along with your credit, how much money you can mobilize from other people's pockets. "

"What about the third one?"

Tong Dan instinctively asked.

"How much others think you have."

Tong Dan was dazed.

"Qing Gege, aren't you in law?"

This is what subtle influence and being immersed means.

After watching for so long, one could finally gain some insight.

Tong Dan gradually calmed down, smiled, "You guys acquired more than just Dongyue Chemical, didn't you?"

Fang Qing said nothing.

"Jiang boss is really getting bolder, but isn't he afraid?"

Tong Dan couldn't help but speak.

Business is about harmony begets wealth.

And not a zero-sum game.

This kind of financial war, where it's either you die or I perish, offers no win-win situation. Now, though Japan is losing step by step, what if...

What if they lose?

Tong Dan looked at Fang Qing, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice, "Qing Gege, if Jiang Chen fails, you'd be... really happy, wouldn't you?"

Fang Qing was slightly taken aback, then composed her expression.

"You wanted to join Tianci, I already mentioned it to him, yet you're sowing discord?"
