"Dad, have you forgotten the original intention of our park project?" Liu Yanran smiled slyly.

"Original intention?"

Liu Jingxian was taken aback, then suddenly realized, "This was a trap all along. The more people invest, the more we make, right?"

"good!"

Liu Yanran nodded in deep agreement, "Wang Qian is going through all sorts of trouble to attract investment, but in the end, he's just doing all the work for us."

"We don't have to do anything right now, we can win without even lifting a finger!"

"And when the investors that Wang Qian brought in later realize they've been scammed, they'll only blame Wang Qian."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingxian nodded with satisfaction. "Yanran, it seems that after the setbacks of the past few days, your strategic thinking has finally begun to improve. You are truly worthy of your father's painstaking cultivation over the years!"

...

Machuan District.

Inside a luxurious villa.

"Wang Qian, you shouldn't have come here!"

Upon opening the door, Zhong Yiyi, dressed in a denim outfit, sporting a bob haircut, and with a lollipop in her mouth, frowned slightly when she saw the person knocking.

"I need to speak with Yanping urgently!" Wang Qian said seriously.

Even if you had something urgent to discuss with her, you shouldn't have...

Before Zhong Yiyi could finish speaking, Wang Qian interrupted her, saying, "This situation is special, so I had to come!"

He knew what Zhong Yiyi was worried about.

Wu Yanping couldn't let go of him to begin with, but he was already married with children. If he continued to have contact with Wu Yanping, it would only make her sink deeper and deeper.

Zhong Yiyi had told him before that he should avoid contact with Wu Yanping unless absolutely necessary.

He took the initiative to go to Wu Yanping's house today, and Zhong Yiyi will definitely have objections.

"Has some emergency occurred?" Zhong Yiyi asked curiously.

"It's not something that can be explained in a short time. First, call Yanping out. I need to see her!" Wang Qian insisted.

"It's possible, but you'd better think it through!"

Zhong Yiyi glanced back and lowered her voice, saying, "This is Yanping's home, but Yanping isn't the only one here!"

Wang Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his voice as well, saying, "You mean, Chairman Wu is also at home?"

"good!"

Zhong Yiyi nodded. "Chairman Wu already has a prejudice against you. If he finds out you came to see Yanping, I'm afraid..."

"Yiyi, who is that?"

A gentle voice suddenly came from inside the room.

Wang Qian recognized him instantly.

It was Wu Yanping!

“A salesman, I’ll get rid of him right now!”

Zhong Yiyi ultimately didn't want Wang Qian to see Wu Yanping, so she hurriedly raised her voice and responded with this sentence.

But before he could finish speaking, Wang Qian shouted, "Yan Ping, it's me, Wang Qian!"

Zhong Yiyi was stunned for a moment.

She never expected Wang Qian to be so shameless. She had just come up with an excuse when Wang Qian revealed his name. Wasn't he deliberately trying to embarrass her?

But in response to her angry glare, Wang Qian shrugged and said, "I have to see Yanping today."

"You win!"

Knowing she couldn't stop him, Zhong Yiyi glared fiercely at Wang Qian and had no choice but to step aside.

She had just stepped back when a beautiful figure rushed out of the house.

Wearing a white dress, with a gentle and sweet appearance, she seemed to be flawless from head to toe, just like a fairy descending to earth.

"Wang Qian, what brings you here?"

Seeing Wang Qian standing outside the door, Wu Yanping was both surprised and delighted.

Normally, she's the one who makes excuses to approach Wang Qian.

But today, Wang Qian actually took the initiative to approach her; it's like the sun has risen in the west!

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Wang Qian smiled and asked, "Can we talk alone?"

"Can't!"

Before Wu Yanping could speak, Zhong Yiyi interjected, "We still have to go later..."

"I'm not going!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Yanping interrupted, "Postpone that autograph session for now, let me talk to Wang Qian first."

Zhong Yiyi clutched her forehead, her face filled with frustration.

She knew that once she saw Wang Qian, Wu Yanping's IQ would plummet.

For this reason, she had tried to persuade her countless times with both emotion and reason.

Every time, Wu Yanping readily agreed.

but,

As soon as Wang Qian appeared, all promises and guarantees were thrown to the back of their minds.

"Yiyi, there's still an hour until the autograph session. Talk to the organizers and ask them to stall for a bit. They won't say anything."

Seeing that Zhong Yiyi was still standing there in a daze, Wu Yanping said in a pleading tone, "Please, I'm begging you, please help me this one more time!"

Unable to resist Wu Yanping's persistent pleading, Zhong Yiyi had no choice but to give in, "Alright, but you'd better chat quickly."

After saying that, she rudely pushed Wang Qian, who was standing outside the door, aside and left arrogantly.

Wang Qian didn't bother arguing with Zhong Yiyi and quickly made way for her.

"Whatever you want to talk to Yanping about, remember, you are already a married man!"

As she walked past Wang Qian, Zhong Yiyi made sure to say something in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Wang Qian wiped away a cold sweat.

He knew that Zhong Yiyi had good intentions, but in the end, he was the one who discovered her, and now she treated him like an enemy, being extremely wary of him.

But not wanting Zhong Yiyi to keep going on and on, he still gave her a reassuring look.

Zhong Yiyi then left, satisfied.

“Yiyi can be quite unreasonable sometimes, don’t take it to heart.”

After Zhong Yiyi left, Wu Yanping hurriedly gestured to Wang Qian, "Please come in."

"Thanks!"

Wang Qian nodded and strode into the house.

Is your dad home?

Upon entering the living room, Wang Qian subconsciously asked this question.

Although Zhong Yiyi just said that Wu Yanping's father, Wu Qixuan, was at home, it's hard to say whether that's true or not.

After all, Zhong Yiyi could come up with any lie she wanted to tell in order to prevent him from meeting Wu Yanping.

"My dad's at the company, what's wrong?"

Wu Yanping asked in surprise, "Did you come to my house today not to see me, but to see my dad?"

"Uh... yes and no!"

Wang Qian gave an awkward smile and said vaguely, "I came to see you today mainly to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help?"

As she asked this question, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed deep in Wu Yanping's beautiful eyes.

She knew that Wang Qian's initiative to find her was definitely not just for a simple chat.

Although she had already guessed it, seeing Wang Qian's embarrassed expression still made her feel an overwhelming sense of loss.

"I'd like to ask your dad for a favor!"

Now that he was there, Wang Qian stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "I want to ask him to invest in a huge project."

What project?

Wu Yanping asked a question subconsciously.

But then, as if a thought had crossed her mind, she said, "You wouldn't be thinking of getting my dad...?"
