Japan's economy and finances significantly. Many renowned brands were gradually reducing their business operations in Huaxia, leading to a 15% drop in economic output for one quarter. Abe recognized h...Chapter 923: Verbal Sparring

Hearing Qiao Chengying speak like this, the voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat troubled: "But sir, private planes must be registered four hours before takeoff. An hour isn’t enough time."

"I don't care about that. In short, I must arrive at Milan Airport fifteen hours from now! Either you make it happen or get lost!" After saying this, Qiao Chengying hung up the phone angrily.

From Hong Kong to Milan by plane would take fourteen hours; Qiao Chengying demanded to be in Milan fifteen hours later. This left his secretary only an hour to prepare.

The secretary on the other end of the line looked worried. Although they were from the Qiao family, who was undisputedly Hong Kong's top commercial clan, the new head of the Civil Aviation Administration clearly had a grudge against them. Who knew where he got the nerve If the man found any leverage over them, it wouldn't be good.

"The pilot must arrive at the airport within half an hour to prepare; the boss will leave for Milan one hour from now," the secretary immediately instructed.

"What Go to the Civil Aviation Administration to register No registration needed. Just take off! I'll shoulder any responsibility!" With his boss backing him, the secretary wasn't worried at all. Even if the new head of the administration was blind to reason and dared to confront the Qiao family

At this moment, Qiao Chengying had already left the hotel entrance and got into his personal Rolls-Royce, speeding towards the airport!

Tong Qigang sat dejectedly in a corner, looking at the bustling crowd and clinking glasses in the hall with no interest whatsoever.

"Invoking the devil to take action, kill one thousand enemies but also suffer one thousand five hundred losses." Tong Qigang muttered incoherently, his eyes filled with despair.

In the hall, Shishi finally spoke up. Before she started talking, a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, which was brighter than before and caught many so-called elites' attention. In this world, there are not many girls like Shishi, who are both intelligent and beautiful; it's as if they were blessed by heaven.

Seeing Shishi about to speak, reporters quickly aimed their cameras at her. Today’s headline news kept coming one after another, almost overwhelming them! Moreover, according to previous agreements, the reporters must leave once the cocktail party starts officially, so they had to seize every opportunity to take pictures and gather explosive information!

"Young Master Qiao, about what happened an hour ago, don't you want to explain anything to me" Shishi smiled, but her smile seemed to carry needles.

Qiao Shanxing's preemptive move made Shishi quite unhappy. The two families were not at a point where they had to fight each other to the death, so his actions, which aimed to give Shishi a taste of her own medicine and let her know who is in charge of Hong Kong, inevitably infuriated their Lady Shishi.

"Oh I don't understand what Miss Shang means." Qiao Shanxing's smile remained unchanged but showed slight surprise, as if he knew nothing about these matters. Undoubtedly, Young Master Qiao was indeed an excellent actor.

Qiao Shanxing didn't expect that Shishi would be so aggressive right from the start, completely disregarding propriety and acting unpredictably.

"Your acting skills are really impressive."

"I don't act; it's all about self-expression," Qiao Shanxing said gracefully at this moment. "Therefore, I don't think your praise is a compliment to me."

"Very well then," Shangguan Shishi looked directly into Qiao Shanxing’s eyes and calmly asked, "Then I would like to ask the Young Master of the Qiao Family for an explanation: Why was every product in the Juruo series taken off shelves and stopped from being sold across all stores in Hong Kong exactly one hour ago"

Shangguan Shishi's words were like a powerful explosive bomb thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up massive waves!

The identity of Shangguan Shishi was extremely prominent; she definitely wouldn't casually spread rumors about such matters! The people present had come to the ball and hadn’t received this news, but that didn’t stop them from discussing it among themselves. They were all so-called upper-class celebrities, with insights far beyond ordinary people's reach, immediately sensing an enormous amount of information from those words!

They all understood the Qiao Family’s ambitions and also knew there had been many conflicts between the Qiao family and the Shishi family recently. But they never expected that Qiao Shanxing would have such courage to take down every product line before Shangguan Shishi's welcome party! The losses incurred on the latter were immeasurable!

Does this mean that Young Master Qiao is prepared to break off relations with the Shishi family right now

At this moment, many people here admired Shangguan Shishi’s composure and understood why she didn’t shake hands with Qiao Shanxing earlier. With such a major issue occurring, if they were in her shoes, they would have been beyond furious by now, seeing Qiao Shanxing and giving him a beating!

They all understood that Qiao Shanxing was demonstrating the power of his family. With a single command, all the products in the mall were removed from shelves! The terrifying influence of the Qiao family in Hong Kong is evident!

Qiao Shanxing remained calm with his characteristic smile: "Miss Shang, I believe there must be some misunderstanding to clear up here; fair competition is what I advocate most. Those things that cannot see the light of day have nothing to do with the Qiao family."

"I acknowledge that the Qiao family's influence in Hong Kong is considerable, but this matter could not possibly be their doing." Qiao Shanxing stated firmly. However, business is like warfare; everyone is a businessman, and every step can be a trap; no words are truly believable.

Every minute Qiao Shanxing delayed was a significant loss for the Shang family. Hong Kong is known as a shopping paradise, how large is this market Today's events will severely impact Juru International's business in Hong Kong!

Shang Shishi saw Qiao Shanxing dodging and deflecting here without any annoyance; she smiled and kicked the ball back to him: "If that’s the case, then I have a request. Would you mind helping me, Mr. Qiao"

A slight rise of Qiao Shanxing's eyebrows was barely noticeable: "For matters within my jurisdiction, I will do my utmost to help; if it exceeds my capabilities, all I can say is sorry."

Qiao Shanwang interjected: "Shishi, you are our esteemed guest. Even if we have to use every ounce of strength, we must help you. Don't worry, go ahead and make your request."

The fourth young master of the Qiao family felt a bit anxious at this moment due to his earlier attempt to provoke Shang Shishi with counterfeit cosmetics; not because of anything else, but Wang Zheng’s enigmatic gaze rarely left him! Seeing such an expression made Qiao Shanwang feel inexplicably nervous! but it hasn’t been very effective." Shishi said somewhat vexed. "Whenever this mysterious director contacts the O'Brian Trust, they never appear in person but send an assistant to handle everything....
