Chapter 1593 - 639: Psychological Warfare
In previous conversations, neither Zhou Wang nor Charles ever mentioned Han Suying.
It seemed like they both maintained a certain tacit understanding, as if the other person was just a trivial figure, not even qualified to be a topic between them.
Of course, this was one aspect of the reason.
Another aspect is...
Zhou Wang, upon hearing this, looked at Charles with a faint smile, then took out a cigarette and lit it, casually offering one to Charles.
"Are you afraid I’d really kill her?"
"Zhou, nothing escapes your eyes. Only a broad-minded man like me wishes to befriend you."
Charles shrugged, "I’m trying to build my own influence, you know, the Morgan family and I are one and not one at the same time... Control of the CJ Group is one of the chips I’m striving for."
Zhou Wang understood.
As the voices within the family supporting him as the first heir grew louder, Charles, trailing the momentum, couldn’t just do nothing and wait for the position of the heir to automatically fall into his lap.
That’s something only a fool would do.
After all, his brothers and sisters aren’t pushovers either; anything could happen until the dust settles at the last moment.
Just like nobody in the Morgan family ever thought that Charles, ranking third in line, could suddenly make a surprising move, catching all his siblings off guard...
Charles came to Korea, inspecting was just one aspect, showcasing his presence and taking control of CJ Group was his top priority... Though formally CJ Group is just a Korean national enterprise, like Samsung Group, they are actually just puppets of the Beautiful Country.
In this matter, the Morgan family’s demands align with the officials.
And in Charles’s pursuit to control CJ Group, the usual methods he can use are nothing more than recruiting some while suppressing others, which he had subtly hinted at Zhou Wang in their previous conversation.
Now hearing Charles’s words, it’s clear that in his original plan, Han Suying should be on the recruiting list.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t appear at this banquet as just a small committee representative.
In the noticeable gaze of the nearby family butler, Mr. Will, with his jaw dropped, Charles both flatteringly took out a lighter to light the cigarettes for both, while explaining:
"Han Li’s sister is expected to advance further in Cheongwadae. The family power behind her is very useful to me... of course, Zhou, if you really want to deal with her, I won’t actually stop you; I’d just need to spend some energy to re-plan."
"Perhaps give her a lesson, but not to kill her, my heart is not that small."
Zhou Wang said indifferently, "I don’t think your plan needs to change; sometimes coordinating a reprimand with recruitment works even better, doesn’t it?"
"That’s right."
Realizing Zhou Wang wasn’t planning to ruin Han Suying, Charles’s eyes brightened, understanding Zhou Wang’s intentions, "You give her the stick first, and when she’s desperate, I’ll give her the carrot..."
"She’s not worthy of my stick; if it’s her daughter, maybe then."
Zhou Wang waved his hand, stopping Charles from continuing.
The two chatted casually while being lined up and seen off by the manager and waiters, walking off the yacht. Charles even whistled and pinched a black silk girl’s thigh.
Watching the Korean girl’s blush with an implied look of expectation, Zhou Wang could only sigh... even in such a developed country like Korea, many women still have a deeply-rooted admiration for foreign things.
Zhou Wang doesn’t doubt that even without bearing his halo, Charles could stroll through a nightclub in Korea or even Huaxia and be a groom every night.
While Zhou Wang was inwardly commenting, they had already departed the yacht, landing at the dock. As expected, the CJ Group contingent had not left but continued waiting eagerly.
Zhou Wang had chatted with Charles for about an hour, and this location was also some distance from the parking lot, meaning this group had been standing in the cold wind for over an hour.
Especially the women like Han Suying, since most of the time they were indoors, they wore dresses for aesthetics with minimal warmth effects, now shivering in the cold with faces pale as white paper.
Yet she didn’t dare leave, fearing further upsetting Zhou Wang.
Just now at the dock, Vice President Ding Junxian of CJ Group and others had already thoroughly queried Han Suying about Zhou Wang.
Han Suying’s understanding of Zhou Wang actually stemmed entirely from her daughter Jennie, so when the information about Zhou Wang came from Han Suying’s mouth, Vice President Ding and others were lost for words.
Chairman of YG Entertainment, a young billionaire from Huaxia... just this?
Honestly, the data on Zhou Wang that could be publicly researched, although outrageous for his age, in Vice President Ding and others’ eyes, he was just a "promising junior" at best.
No wonder Han Suying could be so commanding and dismissive towards Zhou Wang.
If it were them, they might not fare better.
At this point, it was still the more magnanimous Chairman Ding, who detected something amiss from Han Suying’s narrative.
If Zhou Wang was just an ordinary billionaire from Huaxia, then how could he acquire YG Entertainment?
