Chapter 553: Stopping the Competition

Editor: Millman97

As usual, the public bought into this kind of baseless rumor. If Xi Empire didn鈥檛 dare to double the price, then it meant that they were really dying. Furthermore, Xi Empire must have lost a lot in this competition. Therefore, if they didn鈥檛 fight back, they would lose their will to fight, thus accelerating their decline.

Lin Jing was waiting for that moment when the Xi family lost their desire to fight back. Even the proudest lion, after losing its will, could be taken out easily. Without Xi Mubai, the Xi family had already lost its claws; Lin Jing was now grinding out their will. Lin Jing firmly believed that she would be the eventual victor in this crazy gamble!

Little did she know that Xi Empire was not led by Mubai鈥檚 father but Xinghe, a woman whose will couldn鈥檛 be extinguished. Lin Jing had miscalculated one thing, which was Xinghe wouldn鈥檛 fight a war that she had no confidence in winning.

...

"Not bad, finally they found their guts." Xinghe studied the data on her computer and smiled satisfactorily. That woman, Lin Jing, definitely didn鈥檛 disappoint her; she knew Lin Jing would do something huge and she did.

Xinghe was in a meeting at the Xi Empire building. When the department leaders heard her, they started to get antsy.

Someone couldn鈥檛 help but advise her, "Miss Xia, you cannot increase the price anymore, continuing this competition with them is not beneficial to us!"

Then opinions started to fly.

"That鈥檚 right. It鈥檚 obvious that they are planning to fight us to the bitter end. We might have the money, but we cannot waste it like this."

"Miss Xia, only an idiot would waste money on bad investment," Haoran said meaningfully. He was the most against Xinghe out of everyone there. He was a cautious person and so was averse to Xinghe鈥檚 brazen ways of doing things.

It was not that he had any beef with Xinghe personally, but it was just that he didn鈥檛 wish for Xi Empire to be ruined by her hands. If Xinghe wanted to increase the purchasing price again, he would fight her with tooth and nail. Even Jiangsan felt this couldn鈥檛 continue anymore.

"Xinghe, what鈥檚 your plan? If it鈥檚 to continue this endless competition, you might need a better plan," he advised her in a whisper.

Xinghe nodded. "I understand. Don鈥檛 worry, I will not hike up the price anymore."

They were shocked that she was so persuadable this time. At that moment, their impression of her improved slightly.

"Miss Xia, it鈥檚 good that you finally see the light. But if we stop at this juncture, wouldn鈥檛 this negatively influence our image?"

"That鈥檚 right, the public will think we鈥檙e really an arrow at the end of its flight."

"That鈥檚 why I said to not commit to this plan in the beginning." Haoran frowned severely like an old-fashioned teacher lecturing his student.

Xinghe smiled. "Stopping the competition now will definitely lead to some negative publicity, but it will be temporary. Plus, don鈥檛 you worry, because we鈥檒l not lose anything."

Jiangsan laughed. "Xinghe is right. Bao Hwa has done us a favor by raising our stock price. Thanks to them, our stocks are at an all-time high. A slight fall will do us no harm."

Of course, they had also helped Bao Hwa with their stock prices.

Regardless, they still had no idea what Xinghe was up to.

"Miss Xia, then what is the next step of your plan?" someone asked.
