After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 997 - 994: Simple or Complex

When the doors of the conference room opened, Meng Chi and Bi Xia almost simultaneously looked towards the entrance. There stood a man in a black suit, holding a blue folder, followed by a young assistant-like figure. His face carried a gentle grace, and he wore silver-framed glasses. His eyes lit up upon seeing Bi Xia, and he stepped forward, his voice clear, "Hello President Xia, sorry to keep you waiting, I am Xia Nian, the Vice President of Shixia Trade."Bi Xia slightly raised an eyebrow and stood up to shake hands with Xia Nian, "Hello Vice President Xia, I am Bi Xia, not Xia. You can just call me Little Nine. This is the head of our X Group’s X Real Estate Company, Meng Chi."

"Hello, Mr. Meng." Xia Nian also smiled and shook hands with Meng Chi.

Meng Chi said, "Hello, Vice President Xia."

Xia Nian turned to Bi Xia, "I apologize for the confusion earlier. By the way, what does Little Nine mean?"

"Because my name is very similar to my mother’s name, and I happen to be ranked ninth, so everyone calls me Little Nine." Bi Xia smiled and explained.

Understanding, Xia Nian smiled and said, "So that’s how it is, it indeed could cause confusion," and gestured invitingly, "Please sit, Ninth Young Master."

Bi Xia smiled lightly, maintaining poise without any submission, even when facing a man around Xia Shi’s age. This indifferent and elegant demeanor caused Xia Nian to view him with more respect, as expected of that person’s heir...

"We have understood your intention for this visit," Xia Nian handed over the materials to Bi Xia, "In the past, our side handled the transport, but recently there have been some issues, so the Zheng Family suggested we find someone on their side. Since it was suggested by the Zheng Family, we trust them, but as partners, I believe it’s important for us to meet, after all, this is our first collaboration and there might be many more in the future."

As Bi Xia flipped through the documents Xia Nian provided, his previous smile disappeared, and his starry eyes slightly squinted as he said calmly, "Vice President Xia is correct, we should indeed get to know each other, but..."

He pointed to a section of the document, "We have just met, and a future collaboration has already been settled. Isn’t Vice President Xia acting a bit too hastily?"

Xia Nian paused, smiled, and said, "Not at all, actually when the Zheng Family recommended you, we looked into it and started our investigation. Although this is your first time, as long as today’s goods arrive safely, we’ve decided to establish a long-term partnership with X Security Company."

Bi Xia smiled slightly, "If that’s the case, that would be great."

Then, his tone shifted, "However, we can only say sorry."

"Oh? What does that mean?"

"Sorry, we only plan to do this once, as our current focus is still in Qing City."

Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Xia Nian frowned, "If Ninth Young Master wants to develop your X Group, allow me to offer some advice from experience—expanding exchanges and influence between different cities is very necessary."

"I am quite aware of that," Bi Xia smiled, "Therefore, please inform your President Xia that if he wishes to stay long-term in Yan City, that’s fine, but I will certainly not bring my family to Yan City."

As he spoke, Bi Xia slowly stood up, his expression serious, "I don’t know what your President Xia is like, as I have never met him. But I am someone who believes that anything belonging to us will be taken back, and those who owe us in the past will certainly repay a hundred or a thousand times."

"You..." Xia Nian took a deep breath, "You’re still young. You should understand that some things are not as simple as they seem."

"That’s only because you haven’t tried."

Bi Xia looked at Xia Nian calmly, "I’ve had enough of days being beaten and scolded. I’ve also had enough of watching my mother kneel to others for me and my brother. Regardless of your plans, at least for now, I can ensure that as long as I am here, my mother can live peacefully in Qing City with whatever kind of life she desires."

"As you said, my ambition indeed extends beyond Qing City, but even without you, I can elevate my X Group to the pinnacle."

Listening to Bi Xia’s words, Xia Nian suddenly laughed, "You think too simply."

"Is it simple?" Bi Xia raised an eyebrow, looking at Xia Nian, "Perhaps it’s you and your President Xia who are overcomplicating things."

"My initial goal was very straightforward, to distance us from the Bi Family and start our own life, so I built my own influence."
