The person in charge of KT Consortium was Long Aoyu—even his name sounded awe-inspiring.

Long Aoyu had four sons, each of whom outstanding. Interestingly enough, Long Aoyu didn't have the pedantic view that the eldest son should receive the family business.

In Long Aoyu's point of view, the position of the head of the KT Consortium should go to the most capable person.

Thus, Long Aoyu's four children vied ruthlessly—both openly and in secret—to be the person-in-charge.

His eldest son, Long Zhize, had worked at KT Consortium since he was only 22-years-old. And in just six years, he attained the position of the Asian Managing Director step-by-step, but at the expense of many people.

Some time back, there had been some issues with Long Aoyu's health that caused him to recuperate at home and thought of giving up his power.

His four children, knowing that their father wouldn't live much longer, stepped up their battles with each other.

Long Zhize wanted to have some achievements so he could impress his father and gain his approval. When his other three brothers were hastily trying to collaborate with major international corporations, Long Zhize chose Zeus Airlines instead.

He was putting all his eggs in one basket.

Secretly, many people were waiting for Long Zhize's downfall. Sitting in the car, Kai and Lisa started talking about a major family scandal behind Long Zhize.

"Long Zhize is the eldest son, and his mother passed away long ago, and he isn't close to his grandfather either. Although his other three brothers have ambiguous identities, their mother's family can still lend them a helping hand."

"This Long Zhize is a lone wolf."

"Since he chose us, many people are waiting for him to fail."

Lisa had his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping. Only after Kai finished talking did he open his eyes. He then said, "It might not be a bad thing for long Zhize to not ask his mother or grandfather for assistance."

Kai was confused. "How so?"

Lisa laughed briefly. "If one leaned against a hill, it may collapse. If one leaned against a person, he might run away. Only a person with no one to lean on will place his weight on his own feet, and only by standing on stable feet can one not be blown away by the wind."

Kai thought about it and sighed. "That's also true."

As they chatted, they arrived at the destination.

"Mr. Manoban, we've reached."

"Mmm."

Long Zhize's most trusted subordinate, Jiang Shang, along with Long Zhize's best manager and the company's top management, were waiting to receive Lisa and the rest at the company's entrance.

Upon seeing Kai and the rest alight from the car, Jiang Shang approached immediately. "Mr. Kai, welcome. I'm Jiang Shang, the general manager of KT Consortium's Asian branch."

Kai shook hands with him. "Hello, General Manager Jiang. This is Manager Wang from our legal department. This lady is Manager Su of the project, and this is Mr. Manoban." When introducing Lisa, Kai did not describe his identity in detail.

Jiang Shang was socially adept. After hearing the introduction, he took another look at Lisa.

Lisa was tall, around 1.9 meters. He had worn a pure-white blouse beneath a three-piece black formal suit. His short hair and facial lines looked tough. His blue-gray eyes seemed emotional, but when they focused on Jiang Shang, they seemed cold and arrogant.
