Chapter 118 Opening a company...?
Zhang Wei reached out his hand, placing it gently against her thigh.
The subtle flinch that followed spoke volumes, revealing the tender soul beneath the hardened fa?ade.
"There are many ways to exact revenge," Zhang Wei said, his voice low and contemplative. "Soon, I'll be opening a mineral extraction company, and I want you to head it. Your mindset is better suited for leading companies, not gangs. Do what you excel at, and as for revenge, who said creating a gang was the only path? With the right resources at our disposal, we can crush the Red Scorpions at any time. Don't waste your talent."
His words of appreciation served as a boost to Rose's morale, and his caress on her thighs offered silent encouragement. The car enveloped them in a hushed silence as she absorbed his words, contemplating the choices before her.
"I'll follow your lead," Rose finally spoke, a tinge of bitterness evident as she considered leaving behind the gang she had painstakingly nurtured. Zhang Wei's words had stirred something within her, and she couldn't shake off the realization that perhaps running a gang wasn't her true calling.
'Maybe I am really not fit to run a gang,' she thought, sighing inwardly.
Casting a sidelong glance at Zhang Wei's face, she hoped that this gamble would prove worthwhile. Otherwise, she feared she would be left adrift with nowhere to turn in the future.
"Would you like any help during the transition of leadership?" Zhang Wei inquired.
Rose shook her head and smiled wryly, "I can handle that myself. I can't possibly burden you with such a small matter; how could I lead a company in the future? Give me a few days, and I'll ensure a smooth handover of my leadership."
Zhang Wei nodded in satisfaction.
He was short on manpower and sought a loyal individual to oversee his company's affairs. Rose's loyalty had proven steadfast since becoming his slave. She questioned only when necessary and followed instructions diligently, making her a capable asset in his eyes.
Zhang Wei believed in assigning work to others, while enjoying the benefits himself.
He prefered to be owner, not a leader.
He can create leaders for him, who can do his work, when needed.
As for Rose, he might not have fully grasped her true potential in just a few days, but he recognized that everyone was capable of leading in their own way.
After all, she had been leading the White Tigers for years.
With carefully chosen words, he skillfully manipulated her perspective and secured her as an invaluable asset for the future.
The pieces were falling into place, and Zhang Wei felt the thrill of seeing his plans come to fruition.
"By the way, boss, you mentioned a mineral extraction company. How do you plan to obtain permits for that? Aren't all of those state-owned?" Rose inquired with genuine curiosity.
After accepting her new fate, she had become proactive and eager to learn more about Zhang Wei's plans.
Zhang Wei smiled at her question, exuding an air of confidence. "Yes, technically they are state-owned, but in reality, the tenders are often given to private players in the market. The government is usually too lazy to handle everything themselves, so they outsource the work. It's similar to how they entrust the task of auditing companies to private individuals. We will naturally exploit this system, securing government contracts and fulfilling them. You don't need to worry about getting contracts or initial capital; just start making the preparations."
Rose nodded, placing her trust in him.
She couldn't help but wonder how a person as mysterious as Zhang Wei could exist.
At first, she had assumed he was just a wealthy young master, but as she got to know him better, she realized that wealth wasn't his primary source of power.
He had connections and influence that surpassed her expectations, leaving her both surprised and amazed.
She couldn't help but be cautious, as she might encounter another hidden dragon like him in the future.
Unbeknownst to Rose, Zhang Wei was indeed a rare case.
His plan to establish a mineral extraction company was part of his larger vision.
Taking over the Lin Group was just the beginning; he saw the need to build his own force and secure more power.
Energy and mineral extraction was a strategically restrictive sector, but he knew that once he gained entry, it would provide him with invaluable connections and influence.
To win the contracts, Zhang Wei had a secret weapon – Leng Mei. She was not merely a purple-haired coquettish vixen, as Yu Lei had described her.
In fact, she was already monopolizing the nuclear energy sector of the entire country, making her a formidable ally.
Zhang Wei had accidentally caught a big fish!
Extracting information from Leng Yan, he had learned about Leng Mei's influence and connections.
With her backing, winning state contracts would be a piece of cake, bypassing the tedious biddings and acquiring deals directly.
As for the initial capital, Zhang Wei intended to put Lin Ruoxi's wealth to good use.
He had no intention of keeping these women merely as symbols; he would utilize their resources to build his power.
What about permission from them?
Zhang Wei had no qualms about using people like Lin Ruoxi to his advantage.
Just like how she utilized Ye Feng, he saw no reason not to do the same.
In the world of power and ambition, one had to seize opportunities and play the game skillfully.
Yu Lei's words had undeniably left an impact on Zhang Wei, prompting him to devise a plan for his future where he could openly walk the roads with his women, with no one daring to challenge him.
The idea of making polygamy legal only for himself crossed his mind; after all, once he wielded enough power, bending the laws to his favor wouldn't be an insurmountable challenge.
Zhang Wei was never the man to live in hiding, and he believed roaming the mountains like the only tiger present.
While others chose the approach of hide and seek, Zhang Wei was not willing to conceal himself from the world or his relationships.
However, he also knew that if he lacked sufficient power, it would only invite mockery of the women around him.
Insulting them would be akin to insulting him, and he couldn't bear such humiliation.
Thus, he had slightly modified Yu Lei's plan, but the essence remained the same: to develop power!
As the car navigated through downtown, it finally arrived at a broken building. Waiting outside was Raven, a woman with short, half-dyed blue hair, and she was one of Rose's trusted subordinates.
A few more loyal followers stood behind her, carefully chosen by Zhang Wei to ensure a discreet operation.
Lin Ruoxi's unconscious form was unloaded from the car.
Zhang Wei had taken precautions to ensure she wouldn't wake up for the next six hours.
Then, Zhang Wei had a thought and asked Rose, "Do you have another car?"
Rose nodded in confirmation.
"Good, I'll take this one then. Also, pick up Feng Xinyue from my house and place her in Lin Ruoxi's mansion," he instructed calmly before driving away in the Honda Civic provided by Rose.
With Lin Ruoxi's situation resolved, he decided to pay a visit to Yu Lei first, followed by a trip to the headquarters of Lin Group.
He also planned to use Lin Ruoxi's mansion as his residence, considering its strategic location in the north district.
This arrangement would allow him to easily commute between the Lin Group headquarters and also keep an eye on Guo Xiaomei.
In truth, Zhang Wei relished the idea of living in such luxury and took the opportunity to make use of Lin Ruoxi's opulent mansion as his temporary residence.
After all, who could resist the allure of enjoying the luxuries it offered?
