Chapter 760: Not Giving Him Respect

And thus, the Wei Group attempted to do everything possible to stabilize the minds and hearts of their shareholders. However, the next day, the company’s stock price continued to plummet.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qirui began to panic.

If this went on, the Wei Group’s market value would shrink significantly. His entire fortune would disappear.

In fact, if this continued on, their family would definitely not be comparable to the Zhai family. They might even have difficulties maintaining their current operations!

And thus, Wei Qirui could no longer sit around and wait for his death.

He asked the Loyalty Alliance to hold a meeting.

After all, they were all united by the Loyalty Alliance. If one family was in trouble, typically, the other families would not sit around and do nothing.

In Cai Ningxuan, Wei Qirui, the slightly fat old man, and the four other members of the Loyalty Alliance were seated around a round desk.

The last people to arrive were Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling.

Wei Qirui’s complexion was incredibly poor. He had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he did not sleep well last night.

“I believe that you guys know the reason why I called for this meeting. In the past two days, the Wei Group has encountered a bit of trouble. Therefore, I want to ask for your help.”

As he was asking others to help him, Wei Qirui was no longer arrogant with his words.

However, the members of the Loyalty Alliance did not reply to Wei Qirui. Instead, they turned around to look at Zhai Yunsheng.

The Zhai family had the final say on whether or not to help the Wei Group.

Zhai Yunsheng began to speak: “Well, I told you about this once upon a time. Companies that are a part of the Loyalty Alliance do not become listed on the stock exchange. Once the company becomes listed, it breaks away from the Loyalty Alliance’s control. However, it appeared as though the Wei Group wanted other things. Back then, you insisted on making your companies listed on the exchange.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Qirui began to panic: “In that situation, becoming listed on the stock exchange would maximize the company’s interests. It helped the Wei Group gain much more influence in society. The times have already changed. It’s difficult for us to succeed if we still want to follow the same old path.”

“Then why are you begging us right now?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

“I…” Wei Qirui stammered. He was at a loss for words.

Right now, he was indeed in a lot of trouble.

And thus, Wei Qirui mentioned the Loyalty Alliance again: “The operations of the Loyalty Alliance are interconnected. Furthermore, in the past, whenever a family faced difficulties, the rest of the families were all willing to help. Therefore, isn’t it natural for me to discuss these matters with you guys?”

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng laughed: “Interconnected? Natural? You don’t even respect the matriarch of the Zhai family. You’re quite shameless to say all of that.”

Wei Qirui gritted his teeth as he looked at Zhai Yunsheng. Then, he looked at Jian Yiling who stood beside Zhai Yunsheng.

Ever since Jian Yiling entered the room, she was incredibly quiet. It was as though she was merely an accessory that was attached to Zhai Yunsheng.

Wei Qirui attempted to explain: “Master Sheng, that’s a completely different matter. I just don’t think that Miss Yiling is suited to become the matriarch of the Zhai family. There are definitely more suitable individuals. It’s not that I’m disrespecting the Zhai family or anything.”

“Wei Qirui, do you think that I will believe in the nonsense that you’re saying?”

“Master Sheng, what do you mean by that?”

The slightly fat old man interrupted: “Qirui, it’s better for you to solve this matter on your own. Master Sheng’s words are very clear already.”

“Then what about you guys? What do you guys plan to do?” Wei Qirui asked through clenched teeth.

“Master Sheng’s attitude represents the attitude of the Loyalty Alliance,” the slightly fat old man replied in a firm voice.

The other four members of the Loyalty Alliance were silent.

Wei Qirui looked around the desk. He knew that the rest of them would not be convinced today.

However, when he thought about his company’s stocks plummeting, he was filled with resentment.

And thus, he asked Zhai Yunsheng: “Master Sheng, do you actually not care about the Wei Group?”
