"Third brother, do you look down on me that much?"

Liu Jingzhong was instantly enraged.

He was, after all, a veteran of the Liu Group; what kind of storms hadn't he weathered?

Given his status and position, it would be a piece of cake for him to personally deal with a novice like Wang Qian.

Liu Jingxian, on the other hand, actually thought he would lose to Wang Qian, this greenhorn?

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Second brother, being old is not an asset or an advantage."

Faced with Liu Jingzhong's anger, Liu Jingxian calmly said, "Wang Qian was able to go from a penniless country boy to a businessman with a net worth of over 50 million in just over half a year. This is not due to luck."

"Third brother, I know you and Yanran have always admired Wang Qian, but there's no need to boost others' morale and diminish our own, is there?" Liu Jingzhong sneered.

"Aren't we boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own? Why don't you try it yourself and see?"

Liu Jingxian seemed to be getting impatient, and waved his hand, "I've said what I needed to say. It's getting late, Second Brother, you should go back and rest early, lest you hurt yourself with anger."

"Okay, I'll be careful!"

Liu Jingzhong gritted his teeth and replied with this sentence, finally leaving with resentment.

Liu Jingxian, on the other hand, continued to sit in his chair, drinking his tea, his expression remaining calm and unwavering.

"Come out."

A moment later, he turned his head to the side and said something.

[Squeak]

The door was pushed open, and a woman in a cheongsam stepped out.

Liu Jingzhong glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Yanran, I know you love beauty too, but could you wear something a little more conservative at home in the future?"

Liu Yanran blushed and lowered her head, saying, "Dad, I understand. I'll go change it right away."

"Alright, next time!"

Liu Jingxian waved his hand impatiently and said, "You've been eavesdropping for so long, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Yanran hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Dad, why did you deliberately provoke Second Uncle?"

Liu Jingxian frowned. "You brat, which eye of yours saw me deliberately provoking your second uncle?"

Liu Yanran was startled.

Liu Jingxian added, "Didn't you hear me just now? I was trying to persuade him with kind words. I was just afraid that he would follow in Qingqing's footsteps."

Liu Yanran understood immediately and quickly nodded in agreement, "Ah, yes, yes, Dad, you are thinking of the family wholeheartedly, it's just that Second Uncle doesn't understand. Dad, others will understand your good intentions sooner or later."

As she said this, a sinister smile curled at the corner of her lips.

Some things can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.

This test that the family put on Liu Qingqing has ended in failure.

If Liu Qingqing fails, her position in the Liu family will be further consolidated.

However, besides her, her father, Liu Jingxian, still needs to further strengthen his deterrent power.

Her second uncle, Liu Jingzhong, was undoubtedly the biggest obstacle.

Only if her second uncle also suffers a major setback will other eager family members take heed.

This is probably why her father used reverse psychology on her second uncle.

After all, the rivalry between the younger generation is just a minor squabble in the eyes of the older generation.

Only if the older generation personally takes charge and still suffers a complete defeat can they silence everyone.

Of course, it all depends on Wang Qian's abilities.

However, given Wang Qian's abilities, the chances of him losing should be relatively small.

Even if she unfortunately loses, her second uncle, Liu Jingzhong, will probably not feel good either.

Therefore, regardless of who wins in the end, the father and daughter will reap the benefits.

If Wang Qian wins, his and his daughter's position in the family will be further consolidated.

If her second uncle wins, it will eliminate Wang Qian, a major threat to them, but it will not affect his control over the Liu family.

After all, the family was only testing Liu Qingqing, but Liu Qingqing had already suffered a complete defeat.

Even if her second uncle gets his revenge, it can only be attributed to personal grudges and cannot solidify his position in the family.

It's safe to say that her father's use of reverse psychology on her second uncle was a perfect example of killing two birds with one stone.

...

As the sun rises, a new day begins.

In the office of the dormitory building of Niangui Grilled Green Pepper Sauce, Lane 2, Beifeng Street.

After giving a brief overview of the business situation of the five branches over the past few days, Lin Chao asked, "Brother-in-law, we've already expanded to five branches. Do you plan to continue expanding?"

"Let's expand to surrounding cities."

Wang Qian thought for a moment and said, "Nanming County is so small. Five branches are already saturated. Opening more would not only increase expenses, but also require more energy to manage."

"Once the market becomes saturated, vicious competition will arise between branches, which will be detrimental to the company in every way."

"so……"

He took a deep breath and continued, "Even if we want to expand, we can only extend to other cities."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chao nodded in deep agreement.

Indeed, given the current size of Nanming County, further expansion would not be very meaningful.

But then he asked, "Brother-in-law, given the current situation, which city would be the best to expand into?"

"What do you think?" Wang Qian asked in return.

Linjiang City!

Lin Chao seemed to have been prepared, and without thinking, he said, "According to my investigation, our brand has a certain reputation there. Some people even specially bring others to buy from us and then take them over to them."

"Now that you have an idea in mind, just go for it!"

Wang Qian smiled with relief, "You are the general manager of the company. From now on, you can make your own decisions on company matters unless they involve life or death."
