Lin Yang finally convinced Wang Chuanwen to agree to cooperate with Li Xiangyu on the skyscraper reconstruction project.
But how to politely decline the offers from the other two business tycoons was giving him a major headache.
Lin Yang didn't want to have two more enemies.
Moreover, these are formidable enemies like Li Taihang and Zheng Qitian.
Lin Yang dared not let his guard down in the slightest.
After much deliberation, Lin Yang decided to personally visit Li Taihang.
He carefully selected a gift that was reasonably priced yet sincere, and nervously arrived at Li Taihang's luxurious villa in the suburbs.
This villa occupies a vast area and is magnificent in scale, with every detail showcasing the extraordinary nature of its owner.
Led by the butler, Lin Yang entered the spacious and bright reception room.
Li Taihang was sitting on a soft leather sofa, leisurely flipping through a financial magazine.
Seeing Lin Yang enter, he slowly raised his head, his face still bearing that signature kind smile.
Lin Yang quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.
"Senior Li, I am truly sorry for disturbing you by coming here so abruptly."
Li Taihang gently put down the magazine, waved his hand, and gestured for Lin Yang to sit down, his voice gentle.
"Xiao Lin, there's no need to be so polite. Just tell me what you need."
Lin Yang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Senior Li, the main reason I've come today is to explain the matter of investment cooperation regarding the reconstruction of skyscrapers."
"After careful discussion and deliberation, our Wang Group has finally decided to cooperate with Li Xiangyu."
"I am truly sorry to disappoint you and fail to live up to your kind intentions."
Li Taihang raised his eyebrows slightly, his smile remaining unchanged, but a fleeting hint of displeasure crossed his face.
"Oh? Can you tell me why? I'm very curious, in your eyes, in what way is Li Xiangyu better than me?"
Lin Yang quickly straightened up and explained earnestly.
"Senior Li, your strength and prestige in the business world are evident to all. The entire Wang Group admires you very much."
"However, considering all factors, Li Xiangyu's investment plan is more in line with the development strategy and needs of the Wang Group in terms of equity allocation, capital utilization planning, and overall project planning."
"But this does not mean that we do not value you. We sincerely hope that you can understand that if a suitable opportunity arises in the future, we will definitely give priority to cooperating with you!"
Li Taihang listened quietly, his fingers rhythmically tapping the sofa armrest, as if he were thinking about something.
After a moment, he slowly began to speak.
"Xiaolin, I understand that decisions in the business world are based on profit considerations, and I can understand that."
"I'll let it go this time, but I hope you'll remember the kindness I showed you today. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."
Lin Yang quickly stood up and said with a grateful expression.
“Senior Li, you are so kind and generous. I, Lin Yang, will always remember your kindness.”
After saying goodbye to Li Taihang, Lin Yang didn't dare to delay for a moment and went straight to Zheng Qitian's private club.
Zheng Qitian was enjoying wine and chatting with several friends in a luxurious private room at the club.
Upon seeing Lin Yang arrive, he waved, signaling his friends to leave first.
After the two of them were left in the private room, Zheng Qitian leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and stared straight at Lin Yang.
"Lin Yang, you came to see me about investment cooperation, right?"
Zheng Qitian asked the question directly.
Lin Yang nodded, his attitude sincere.
“That’s right, Senior Zheng, I’m here to apologize to you.”
"We ultimately chose to cooperate with Li Xiangyu on the skyscraper reconstruction project, and we are truly sorry that we could not accept your offer."
Zheng Qitian sneered: "I'd like to hear what their reason is."
Helpless, Lin Yang had no choice but to repeat the reasons he had given Li Taihang to Zheng Qitian in detail.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qitian's expression darkened slightly, and his tone carried a hint of warning.
"You need to think this through carefully, because opportunities in the business world don't come every day."
"You've rejected me this time, don't regret it later."
Lin Yang quickly said, "Senior Zheng, I am very grateful for your previous willingness to lend a helping hand. This decision was made out of necessity, and I hope you can understand."
"I believe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, and I will definitely do my best when that happens!"
Zheng Qitian remained silent for a while, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
"Fine, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
"But remember this, you owe me, Zheng Qitian, a favor this time."
Lin Yang thanked him repeatedly, secretly relieved.
Lin Yang quickly left Zheng Qitian's place, feeling as exhausted as if he had been treated like a grandson twice.
Moreover, he knew in his heart that although Li Taihang and Zheng Qitian both expressed understanding on the surface, they were actually not very happy.
Just as Lin Yang was busy communicating with Li Taihang and Zheng Qitian, a hidden threat quietly descended.
Li Taihang received an anonymous letter. The letter was simple in content but full of blatant threats.
"Li Taihang, don't interfere in the affairs of the Wang Group, or you will be ruined in the business world."
The messenger was a young man wearing a mask. After handing the letter to Li Taihang's assistant, he hurriedly left, afraid of being recognized.
After reading the letter, Li Taihang still wore that seemingly gentle smile, but his eyes turned cold.
He knew perfectly well who had done it, and he despised Chen Sijian's petty tricks from the bottom of his heart.
However, in the business world, acting impulsively often leads to unnecessary trouble.
He casually tossed the letter aside, sat there, and pondered to himself.
Given his position in the business world, Chen Sijian's audacity in threatening him is simply overestimating his own abilities.
On the surface, he didn't intend to embarrass Chen Sijian, but he also didn't intend to let him off the hook; he was just waiting for the right opportunity.
What Zheng Qitian received was a video.
In the video, a dark figure speaks in a sinister tone.
"Zheng Qitian, if you know what's good for you, stay away from the Wang Group, or you'll regret it."
After watching the video, Zheng Qitian was so angry that he threw his phone on the table.
"That treacherous Chen Sijian dares to threaten me!"
Zheng Qitian has always had a fiery temper and can't stand such insidious and cunning methods.
He picked up the phone, dialed Chen Sijian's number, and roared at the person on the other end.
"Chen Sijian, you little brat, how dare you threaten me!"
"Let me tell you, don't think I don't know it was you who did it."
“I, Zheng Qitian, have always acted with integrity and honesty, and I am not afraid of threats from a petty person like you.”
"I'm determined to take care of Lin Yang and the Wang Group's affairs. Bring it on if you dare!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After receiving Zheng Qitian's call, Chen Sijian was so angry that his face turned ashen.
He didn't expect Zheng Qitian to be so disrespectful and reject him outright.
He slammed his phone to the ground, his face twitching slightly.
"You three just wait, I won't let you get away with this!"
