Pianpian just sat there, looking at the crowd outside the floor-to-ceiling window indifferently, not even taking a glance, very absent-mindedly.
When she saw an ordinary man, she just glanced at him lightly.
Then she narrowed her eyes slightly, stood up slowly and nodded, "I have met Lord Sijes."
The person who came here seemed ordinary, but he was actually a supreme being.
But Pian Pian's attitude was just basic etiquette. After nodding, she slowly sat down again.
Seajes didn't care about this either. He looked at the other person up and down, then casually sat on a chair and said, "Have a cup of tea."
Not long after, a maid came over and brought a cup of steaming tea.
Seajes didn't care about the temperature of the water. He took a few sips from the cup and then spoke.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, Miss Pianpian. Your style has become even more charming. I hear news from you from time to time in Tianhe."
Pianpian smiled slightly and looked around. Seeing this, everyone else retreated, leaving only a B-level middle-aged woman.
She then spoke slowly, "I heard that Taiping's acquisition of Ping An is not going very well?"
Xijies nodded calmly, "Well, we have given up on this project. It's just business. That's how it is."
Although there was no expression on his face, you could tell from his tone that he was somewhat unhappy.
However, Pianpian pretended not to hear it and continued to ask, "Why not continue?"
Sijes replied nonchalantly, "The other party has found strong support and cannot afford to offend them."
"Oh, really?" Pianpian glanced at him sideways and asked with interest, "Isn't it easy to admit that others are strong?"
"People must know how to recognize themselves," a trace of anger flashed across Sijies's eyes, "Is there anything else Miss Pianpian has to do?"
Pianpian spoke up again, "Then even if Taiping gives up, can we guarantee peace and no revenge?"
Seajes is silent, this is also a problem that has puzzled them recently.
The attack on Ping An was led by the Taiping Merchant Group. Of course, other forces also participated.
Ping An should be able to verify that Taiping was involved in actions against itself, but the specific depth of involvement is difficult to say.
Ducasse was accurately retaliated and paid a large amount of compensation, but no one else can blame him for this. Who asked Captiva to take the initiative to provoke him?
The Ping An Business Group has not launched a comprehensive counterattack at present, but is just regaining lost ground step by step.
They did not take the initiative to target any force, but all those who prevented their recovery would be attacked with full force.
Ping An is indeed a well-established business group, well versed in the ways of doing business, and relatively friendly to signals sent out by the outside world.
No matter what, it’s always right to take back your things, right?
Those with ulterior motives also unanimously believe that although Ping An has received strong support, it still focuses on stabilizing its fundamentals.
But after stabilizing the basic market, what will you do?
You must know that the Supreme Being who died unexpectedly may not have died accidentally!
Of course, it is impossible for the Ping An Business Group to fully retaliate against the forces with gaps.
These forces not only involve multiple supreme beings, but also have different influences in many other aspects.
As long as Ping An is not crazy, it will be impossible for them to attack in an all-out way - if they are talking about business, will they still do business in the future?
But it is unrealistic for Ping An to just take this breath.
The Taiping Business Group is also quite troubled by the current situation.
He didn't dare to take the initiative. He really didn't have the courage. The scavenger, who was notoriously difficult to offend, gave in and one of the Thirteen Giants was injured.
Anyway, the scavengers have taken the initiative to retreat, and Taiping will definitely not dare to do anything else.
Taiping is a large business group that spans several star regions. It is much larger than Ping An. It can pull out seven or eight supremes if it is in a hurry.
Without such strength, it would have been impossible to use Ping An's brain in the first place.
Of course, the Ping An Business Group has deep roots in Tianhe and has a very broad reach, which is comparable to Tai'an's overall strength in this star field.
However, now that Ping An has received strong support, it has made up for its shortcomings in high-end combat capabilities and even exceeded them.
So, what else will they do after stabilizing their basic market?
There will most likely be targeted retaliation - even if it is for the future development of the business group, it must show its teeth.
This is also Taiping's dilemma. He doesn't dare to take the initiative, but should he just sit back and wait for death?
At present, they still have some luck, hoping that Ping An has not guessed that they are the leader.
Thinking like this is a bit wishful thinking, but Taiping has also planned that if Ping An really comes to the door, they will kill him and deny him.
As long as the other party cannot produce enough evidence, the possibility of a big fight is very low.
Not many people are willing to cooperate with an aggressive business organization. Sharing interests is the true meaning of business.
Of course, Taiping is also prepared and will pay some property for this and "suffer the humiliation" to get through this test.
But in the end, these are just their own thoughts. It's really hard to say how Ping An will react.
Therefore, Xijies was a little angry and speechless about this problem, but he could not remain unresponsive.
"Miss Pianpian asked this, do you think we will inevitably be retaliated against?"
Pianpian didn't answer but asked instead, "Do you always rely on evidence when doing things?"
"I only know that in order to make a strong comeback, Ping An must choose an opponent with enough weight to take revenge."
When Xijies heard this, he smiled nonchalantly. Of course, it was hard to say whether he was really so calm in his heart.
"Thank you, Miss Pianpian, for your concern. Are you speaking from a personal standpoint?"
If it was just a personal stance, then he would have to say goodbye. He is just a singer, and his cultivation level is only A level.
For such a person who pays attention to performance and personal image, his true combat power is probably not worth mentioning.
But if Pianpian made these remarks on behalf of the people behind her, he would have to think about it.
Yes, there is a big shot behind this beautiful singer.
Pianpian answered without hesitation, "Of course it's not my personal position. I'm not interested in these things at all."
"I'm just passing on someone's message, and these words not only represent what he means... but also the people behind him."
"The person behind him?" Sigis thought for a moment and was a little undecided.
But he was not an indecisive person. He said decisively, "Better, who's idea is this?"
Pianpian pondered for a moment before speaking slowly, "Sir, you should have heard of the 'Empire Storm', right?"
Xijies had some guesses in his mind, but after hearing these words, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
He composed himself before asking aloud, "What does that gentleman really mean?"
Pian Pian spread her hands and said with a smile, "I'm just a little singer. Do I dare to take that adult's name?"
"But..." Sijes hesitated before asking again, "But that lord, wasn't it four hundred years ago..."
"Lord Westjes," the smile on Pianpian's face faded and she spoke seriously.
"I don't dare to say a word about that adult, and I hope you will be cautious."
"Well...okay," Seajes pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly, "I was rash."
"Since you represent that person, what should I do?"
He was already very insignificant compared to the one behind Pianpian, let alone the "Empire Storm".
That is the only existence in the supreme circle that has been certified by the empire and should have set foot on the supreme level.
The Empire stated that this was highly confidential and did not provide more specific evidence, but many people still recognized the Empire's certification.
This is also one of the theoretical basis for many supreme beings to believe that there is indeed a realm of "above the supreme".
Is it possible that it is a rumor? It is indeed possible, but it is still more credible than other "supreme" rumors.
Later, there were rumors that this person had actually passed away a long time ago, and no one came out to publicly spread the rumors.
But every thirty to fifty years, one or two Supreme Beings would come forward and say that they were lucky enough to see the "Imperial Storm", but they couldn't explain it in detail.
Xijies knew that the big man behind Pianpian was said to be related to Imperial Storm.
But whether this statement is true or false, he himself is not able to accurately judge.
He tends to think it is true because it conforms to appearances in many aspects and also conforms to most of the supreme mentality.
Anyway, no matter what, if Pianpian dares to mention this person, he must believe it.
Because Xijies was very sure that Pianpian could not afford the consequences of lying - it would collapse most of the supreme ideas.
And speaking of conscience, even if it was just the big man behind Pianpian who spoke, he would take it seriously.
Otherwise, he would be so stupid that when an A-level singer greets him, he will rush over to meet him?
So now he can only lower his profile even more and ask the other party what he wants to say.
Pianpian heard his answer and knew that the heat was up, so she smiled.
"They hope that your business group can come forward now and create some chaos for Ping An."
"Tsk," Sijes heard this and chewed the toothbrush in distress.
After hearing the other party's words, he had already guessed that this was a possibility. He was really afraid of what he wanted.
He took a breath and spoke slowly, "Normally I shouldn't refuse, but the other party is really strong..."
"I only have one question now, why? I hope you can give me a reason."
Pianpian replied in a deep voice, "Because they want to investigate the people behind Ping An... Strictly speaking, they are the people behind Ping An."
Westjes pondered for a moment and asked, "In other words, can we get the support of high-end combat power?"
If that's the case, he really won't refuse.
"I'm afraid not," Pianpian shook her head, "They want to investigate silently, and you are responsible for distracting Ping An's attention."
"So... it's just a pretense?" Hearing this, Xijies smiled bitterly again.
How has the dignified Taiping Merchant Group ever been looked down upon so much? They are openly taking advantage of themselves and are not afraid to speak out!
Pianpian spread her hands and said calmly, "I don't ask for the Supreme Being's appearance. I just want to cause chaos to Ping An and leave him no time to take care of it."
"You can control the intensity according to this requirement... If you do this well, you can gain a lot of friendship."
