Rural Shennong

In fact, Qiao Jiqiang had long thought of retiring.

During this term of office, just the intrigue with the Yang family made him burnt out, and he didn't make any particularly good achievements in Lingnan. At most, it can only be regarded as maintaining the stability of Lingnan.

His age has also reached the limit, and he will retire after one consecutive term.

If Wei Hongye's odds of winning are particularly high, Qiao Jiqiang can go along with the flow and get re-elected for one term.

But Wei Hongye even admitted that he had a fight with Zuo Bingxiu before, and Zuo Bingxiu was slightly better. He didn't think that Wei Hongye would be able to turn defeat into victory in a few days.

Rather than losing the boxing match and rolling off the stage in disgrace, it is better to withdraw voluntarily, save face, and enjoy the old age peacefully.

Qiao Jiqiang's attitude was very firm, and Wei Hongye couldn't change his mind after persuading him for a long time.

"Brother Wei, I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me any more!" Qiao Jiqiang smiled and said, "You and I met once, so I advise you not to argue, it's pointless."

Wei Hongye frowned slightly: "I'm different from you. I'm a warrior and I have to fight. If I don't make it to the ring, let me admit defeat. I won't accept it!"

"President Qiao, seeing that the boxing match is approaching, why don't you trust me again?"

Qiao Jiqiang knew what Wei Hongye meant.

The old man was not reluctant to let him go, but he was afraid that after he suddenly chose to withdraw from the election, the Wei family would not even have a chance to fight.

Qiao Jiqiang shook his head and said, "Brother Wei, I don't want to make trouble anymore."

"But don't worry, before I leave, what should be arranged will be arranged."

"What do you think, let Lei's family take over?"

Qiao Jiqiang had proposed a replacement, and Wei Hongye was sure that he had made up his mind to go, so he simply pushed the boat along.

"Lei Luan is the only one in the Lei family who still holds the idle position of vice-chairman all year round."

"But she ranks too low among the nine vice presidents of your association."

Qiao Jiqiang said with a chuckle: "Further back, she is also the vice president, and she is also eligible to run for election."

"Besides her, who else can you trust?"

Wei Hongye's face was full of worry: "It's just that I have the qualifications to run for office. You must know that there has never been a woman in the history of Lingnan who has been the president!"

Qiao Jiqiang pointed to Wei Hongye: "Brother, it's already this time, and you're still playing charades with me."

"Are you afraid that if you win the group arena on behalf of the Lei family, Lei Luan won't be able to secure that position?"

To become the president, winning the group arena is a hard target, but the Industrial and Commercial Association, just by looking at its name, knows that business is the most important thing.

Sitting on the position of president, unable to stabilize the situation in the business world, is also very sad.

Qiao Jiqiang is like this.

Five years ago, Wei Hongye won the group arena and helped him rise to the top.

But in the past five years, he has been battered by the alliance of the Yang family and the Lei family, and his control over the industry and commerce association is very poor, and many of the ideas he wants to implement cannot be carried out.

It wasn't until the Yang family and the Lei family turned against each other a while ago and came to his side that Qiao Jiqiang gradually suppressed the Yang family within the association.

If Lei Luan is in power, what if he still has to be held back by the Yang family?This is what Wei Hongye was worried about.

Once Qiao Jiqiang announced that he would not run for the next president and pushed Lei Luan out, Wei Hongye could guess with his toes that the Lingnan business community would inevitably usher in a violent turmoil.

Countless business tycoons, high-level executives in the industry and commerce association will immediately fall to the Yang family and stand in line ahead of time, so the Yang family's power will be stronger than before.

In this way, even if he won, and helped Lei Luan ascend the throne of the president, I am afraid that her control over Lingnan is not even comparable to Qiao Jiqiang.

Then what's the point of him helping Lei Luan in the ring.

Wei Hongye sighed and said, "Lei Luan announced the election suddenly, even I don't think highly of her, let alone the outside world."

"How can I believe that she can sit firmly in that position!"

Qiao Jiqiang patted Wei Hongye on the shoulder: "Brother Wei, you don't have to worry about this at all."

"I admit that my sudden retirement to give way to Lei Luan will cause many people to join the Yang family in advance."

"But as long as you win, the situation will be reversed in an instant!"

Wei Hongye glanced at Qiao Jiqiang: "Hehe!"

Hehe represents too many meanings. Wei Hongye's smile now has a very clear meaning. Guess I believe it or not?

Qiao Jiqiang smiled wryly, "Brother Wei, I'm not fooling you."

"Your Wei family lives in this village all year round and practices martial arts. You don't care about world affairs, and you don't know the current situation in the business world at all."

"The current Yang family is no longer the old Yang family that could dominate the Lingnan business world."

"Not to mention that they lost an important ally of the Lei family, just that kid surnamed Chen almost overthrew the Yang family."

Qiao Jiqiang told Wei Hongye about the struggle between Chen Ping and the Yang family over the past six months.

Wei Hongye was dumbfounded after hearing this: "Damn it, he... is he so good at business?"

Qiao Jiqiang was taken aback for a moment: "What do you mean it's so powerful?"

Wei Hongye was shocked for two breaths before recovering: "Uh, it's nothing!"

He didn't have the nerve to tell Wei Hongye that Chen Ping was not only a business tycoon, but also a master of martial arts, he was both civil and military!

Compared with Chen Ping, Wei Hongye, an old man who has been cultivating behind closed doors for many years, has lived as long as a dog.

While admiring Chen Ping's achievements, Wei Hongye was also a little annoyed.

You said that you are so talented, can't you concentrate on cultivation?You still have free time to do business, it's a waste of the bones that God gave you.

Shaking his head to get rid of some depressed emotions, Wei Hongye asked: "Listen to what you mean, if I win, the Yang family will immediately collapse, right?"

Qiao Jiqiang nodded: "That's right, the Yang family is now a strong outsider, but you don't have to worry about anyone standing in line ahead of time and joining the Yang family."

"I can tell you with certainty that the group arena has become the Yang family's last bet."

"As long as Zuo Bingxiu falls on the ring, the Yang family will have no hope of turning back!"

Wei Hongye nodded vigorously: "Okay, then I will trouble the president to tell the Lei family that I am willing to help the Lei family to compete in the arena."

Lei Luan didn't know that her fate had changed.

At this moment, she was sitting in the attic looking at the mirror in a daze.

The door opened, and the strong woman Yan Yao walked slowly to Lei Luan.

Even after following Lei Luan for more than ten years, seeing Lei Luan's current appearance, Yan Yao still couldn't help being in a trance, forgetting what she was going to do when she came here.

It was a peerless face with almost 360 degrees without any dead ends, as if a nine-day fairy descended to earth, killing both men and women.

If an ordinary woman is so beautiful, she doesn't know what she will succeed in.

But Lei Luan sighed with self-pity: "Ayao, have you got that medicine?"

Lei Luan's questioning voice made Yan Yao recover from her trance, and handed over a small porcelain bottle: "This is it."

"Is there only a small bottle?" Lei Luan frowned slightly: "How effective is it?"

Yan Yao lowered her head and said, "Ma'am, this is the nectar of rainbow orchids, just one drop of it can make people fall into a deep coma."

"Even the warriors at the peak of external strength will not be spared."

"Even if you wake up afterwards, you won't be aware of what happened while you were in a coma."
