“Judging from your current posture, I’m sure you’ll teach me a lot.”
Liang Ruoxu looked at Lin Yi calmly.
“Hey, isn’t this a very normal posture? Although I’ve never tried it before, there doesn’t seem to be any problem with doing it in the bathtub, right?”
“As expected, people like you from the compound are still my favourite type.”
“Screw you.” Liang Ruoxu rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, then pulled up her swimsuit, trying her best to block the waves her chest was creating.
“What did my mother say? How’s the situation now? What’s the progress? Tell me quickly,” Liang Ruoxu asked.
“Didn’t your mother tell you?”
“She told me not to ask around, so I don’t know what’s going on either. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come over to ask you.”
“I don’t know either. My mother-in-law said that she’ll handle the rest. I don’t have to worry about it, so I’m waiting for the news.” Lin Yi looked at Liang Ruoxu.
“You know Yanjing better than I do. What do you think?”
Liang Ruoxu shook his head. “The level of the parties involve is too high. I can’t guess this either, but the netizens this time are very supportive. After you spread the news, they actually took the initiative to accuse the opposing party of treason. This is a very big crime. I can guarantee that the Wang family won’t be able to withstand it. Even if they don’t fall from their position as the number one family, they will be greatly affected.”
Lin Yi pondered for a moment.
“If you rank all the families in Yanjing, where would your Liang family rank?”
Liang Ruoxu frowned slightly. It was obvious that she had never thought about this question before.
Because there were too many dimensions involved in this ranking, and she had yet to get involved in the real power dynamics, it was very difficult for her to guess this.
“There are two families that our Liang family can’t compare to. One of them is the Wang family and the other is the Lu family. However, don’t misunderstand. It’s not Lu Xuan and the others. They just have the same surname.”
“How powerful is this Lu Family? How different is it from the Wang Family?” Lin Yi asked.
“Actually, there’s not much of a difference between the two families in terms of power. The main difference is in their business,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“You should know about the four major corporations in Huaxia, right?”
“Huarun, Paulie, Citic, Merchants Bureau?”
“That’s right. The Merchants Bureau Group is in the hands of the Wang Family.” Liang Ruoxu said.
“Although the market value of the Merchants Bureau is not as great as the other three, the actual profits are greater than my mother’s Huarun. Therefore, controlling the Merchants Bureau is of great help to the Wang family’s status.”
“Because they sell war supplies.”
Liang Ruoxu nodded. “Therefore, among the four major corporations, the Merchants Bureau is a very special entity. Even Huarun can’t compare to it.”
“Then why didn’t the Lu family get involved?” Lin Yi asked.
“With their influence, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to take them down.”
“That’s for sure,” Liang Ruoxu said.
“But the Lu family has never had such intentions; they have always been self-sufficient. The true pillar of the Lu family is Lu Beichen, my grandfather’s former commanding officer. Just like Old Yang, they were both his subordinates.”
Hiss…
Inhaling sharply, Lin Yi exclaimed, “Your grandfather and Old Yang have reached such a high position today. Their status in Huaxia is probably already at its peak.”
“That’s pretty much the case. His status is about the same as Wang Zhongmin of the Wang family. He’s one of the top few individuals in the country.” Liang Ruoxu said.
“By the way, there’s something I forgot to tell you. The true leader of your Central Guards Brigade is Old Master Lu.”
“No way. There are only a few people in the Central Guards Brigade. He’s such a big shot. It’s a little overkill for him to manage such a small organization.”
“I don’t know about that.” Liang Ruoxu revealed a helpless expression. “He’s in charge of the Central Military Brigade. My grandfather didn’t tell me about anything else.”
Previously, Liang Ruoxu did not know about the Central Guards Brigade.
It was because Lin Yi had joined that he had deliberately asked around.
Initially, Liang Xianghe did not want to tell her, but Liang Ruoxu was smart enough to find out everything from her grandmother.
Her grandmother scolded Liang Xianghe and then told her about it.
However, he only said some superficial things and did not mention anything about the core structure.
Liang Ruoxu was tactful enough not to ask any more questions. This was because she was not qualified to know about the central matters. Otherwise, he would have to bear legal responsibility.
“Continue, other than these two families, where can your Liang family be ranked?”
Hmm…
Liang Ruoxu pondered for a moment. “There are approximately three other families that are slightly stronger than us but not to the extent of overpowering us. Meanwhile, there are about four to five families that are on par with us. However, if we consider families from other provinces, the ranking of the Liang family might be pushed back three to five positions. But their capabilities are similar to ours. Even if they are strong, it is limited. That should be the realistic situation.”
“I feel that with my mother-in-law’s intelligence, she should be able to rope the Lu family in.”
Before this, Lin Yi didn’t know anything about Yanjing, so he didn’t know how Shen Shuyi would handle this matter.
However, after hearing Liang Ruoxu’s explanation, he could vaguely tell what was going on.
The Wang Family and the Lu Family were the only two families that stood at the top. Naturally, only the Lu Family could keep the Wang Family in check.
Other than that, the person called Ye Futian was also Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather’s old class monitor. They had been through life and death together, so it was understandable for them to ask him for help.
