Chapter 1274: Not as Important as My Darling Yiling
As a man, he wanted to be able to run his own business. He wanted to be strong enough to protect the woman he loved. He didn’t want to be the one who was protected.
“And so, I’m giving you this opportunity. I’m giving you the chance to take back the Loyalty Alliance and the Zhai family business,” Qin Chuan offered. To anyone else, this would be a very tempting offer.
“Well, you still don’t know me well enough. Even if I’m not willing to be protected by the woman I love, it doesn’t mean I’ll exchange her for power, status, and money. Pride isn’t at stake here. Not to mention…” Zhai Yunsheng paused for a moment before he swept his gaze over the few people seated at the round table.
“The loyalty of everyone here is debatable. I don’t care about them,” Zhai Yunsheng continued. The look in his eyes was contemptuous and his smile was sarcastic.
Upon hearing this, ugly expressions appeared on the faces of those who sat around the round table.
“Young Master Zhai, you shouldn’t blame this on us. Instead, you should think about your own actions. The Zhai family’s actions were truly worrying and there was hardly any change in the years where you were looking after the Loyalty Alliance. Even though Mr. Qin took over the Loyalty Alliance not long ago, we’ve taken several steps forward. At the same time, our profit has doubled compared to before.”
“Exactly. It’s smart to pick a good leader. There are also times when you should learn to look for problems in yourself rather than just blaming others.”
The people seated around the table began accusing Zhai Yunsheng and the Zhai family of doing nothing when they were in power.
In their eyes, Zhai Yunsheng and the Zhai family were the incompetent ones. They failed to do their duties as the leader of the alliance. And thus, the rest of them could not be blamed for their current actions.
Zhai Yunsheng looked at these people with a smile on his face. He listened to their attempts to refute his words.

“And so, you’re willing to be this man’s servile follower?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. The smile on his face was mocking the people in front of him.
“Zhai Yunsheng, you shouldn’t say such ugly phrases. What do you mean by servile follower? We’ve always been in an alliance with the Zhai family. It’s the same with Mr. Qin!”
Zhai Yunsheng’s words managed to anger everyone seated at the round table.
Upon hearing this response, Zhai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes and then smiled. It was as though he was admiring the expressions on their faces.
Qin Chuan’s gaze was also dark: “Zhai Yunsheng, this is your choice. If you don’t accept my offer, then there will no longer be any relations.h.i.+p between you and the Loyalty Alliance in the future.”
“This doesn’t matter to me. All of them added together are not as important as my darling Yiling. If you like to a.s.sociate and interact with this group of people, go ahead and do so,” Zhai Yunsheng said. When he finished speaking, he stood up from his seat.
As soon as he moved, the people seated at the round table felt a bit nervous.
Even if Zhai Yunsheng was not a smart and accomplished businessman, he knew how to fight.
This was especially the case after he returned from his two-year absence. His strength suddenly managed to soar and even experts from the reclusive families could not win against him.
All of them watched Zhai Yunsheng with a wary eye until he left Cai Ningxuan. Only then did they relax.
“Mr. Qu, what do we do now? If we treat Master Sheng like this, what should we do if the Second Master of the Zhai family takes revenge on us? Even if Zhai Yunsheng is incompetent, we still need to worry about the Second Master of the Zhai family.”
There were still a few people who are a bit apprehensive.
“We’ve acted and made our decision already. Therefore, we shouldn’t worry too much. Furthermore, the Second Master of the Zhai family’s company is in Country Y. In the past, he’s never intervened with matters back here. In fact, he might not have the ability to intervene even if he wanted to.”
“And so what if he intervenes? With Mr. Qin around, we don’t have to be afraid of him.”
