Nan Xiangwan was well aware of Ye Chaoqun and Pei Jun's warnings, as these crises were right around them, and Zhan Siyu was naturally on high alert as well.
Originally, Nan Xiangwan wanted to temporarily cover up the conflict by running away, at least until the food court opened. Then they would have leverage and be able to downplay the matter.
“We are, after all, outsiders. If this matter can be resolved peacefully, I would certainly prefer it to be resolved peacefully!” Nan Xiangwan said.
Zhan Siyu held Nan Xiangwan's hand. They both had the same idea. After all, they were outsiders on Rose Star, so they had to be considerate of others.
However, the current situation is clearly not developing as they had anticipated.
The seven major families even wanted to join forces to sabotage their project. The old general was on the homestead project side, and he did not belong to any of the major families, so the plan on that side was going relatively smoothly.
However, the food street project in Nan Xiangwan's hands has been progressing slowly because the seven major families have been trying to sabotage it.
Pei Jun nodded and said, "Of course I understand your thinking, and I think it's correct!"
"Besides, at this point, as you all have clearly seen, you all know exactly what to do next in the current situation!"
"From my perspective, I shouldn't be trying to persuade you, but as a friend, I still hope you succeed!"
Nan Xiangwan laughed. No wonder Zhan Siyu trusted Pei Jun so much.
He even handed over one of his own quantum computers to Pei Jun, adding him to the quantum computer network.
This kid has indeed been helping them all along, whether it's helping secretly or openly; in short, he has helped them in many ways.
Nan Xiangwan said, "Pei Jun, I'm very grateful that you're worried about us because of this, but at times like this, I think we should handle it ourselves!"
Pei Jun also laughed. He hadn't actually said he would interfere with Nan Xiangwan's decision.
"Miss Nan, I think you've misunderstood. I won't interfere with any of your decisions!"
"Besides, at this point, whatever I do will be futile; the most important thing is for both of you to make your own decisions!"
Pei Jun was very clear about his position. He said all this as a friend to Nan Xiangwan and to offer his advice.
Of course, he has a lot to do next, and in order to avoid causing Nan Xiangwan to misunderstand, he certainly won't say those annoying things.
Ye Chaoqun said, "What are you all doing here, playing cryptic games?"
"Cousin, Sister Nan, can you two please stop hiding things from each other?"
"I couldn't understand a single word you were saying. Do you have some kind of secret? Can't you just lay it all out? We're all on the same side, why are you being so polite?"
Ye Chaoqun reprimanded the two of them helplessly, after all, they shouldn't have been given such an excuse.
Zhan Siyu said, "Chaoqun, I think you've actually misunderstood!"
"Wanwan and Pei Jun don't have any secrets hiding from you, but there are some things that you and Chaonan should not know, otherwise you might act impulsively!"
Zhan Siyu's remark left Ye Chaoqun speechless. Did Zhan Siyu really think that he and his sister were like that?
Ye Chaonan also felt very innocent. Although Ye Chaoqun sometimes overreacted, he was always very calm.
He had always regarded Zhan Siyu as his benefactor and idol, but he never expected to be criticized by his idol like this. Ye Chaonan would definitely have to explain himself.
"Brother Zhan, you can't say that to my face, can you?"
"My sister is indeed a very easily agitated person, and she often has stress reactions for no reason, but I'm not that kind of person, Brother Zhan, please don't misunderstand me!" Ye Chaonan tried desperately to explain himself.
Ye Chaoqun was about to explode on the spot. This kid actually said such a thing, which was really disrespectful to him.
Just as Ye Chaoqun was about to lose his temper, Nan Xiangwan shook his head, but he still had something to discuss with Nangong Chen.
"I heard you own a company that supplies parts to spaceships at military bases?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
This statement was full of probing. Pei Jun frowned slightly, not understanding what Nan Xiangwan's intention was.
However, Pei Jun finally nodded and said, "You're right, but it won't be my company for long. Last month I planned to bankrupt and restructure the company, and someone should come and buy it this month!"
Pei Jun let out a breath; he actually felt quite helpless.
This company was the culmination of his hard work, and he truly never imagined it would be sold at such a low price.
That's because the Pei family has been targeting him. Not only do they refuse to acknowledge Pei Jun's identity, but they've also gone after his company, pushing him into a corner.
"Do you need any help?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
He learned about this by chance, and that's when he realized that Pei Jun's situation was actually very difficult.
At first, seeing how good Pei Jun's relationship was with the Ye family, especially with Ye Chaoqun always circling around him, they assumed that he was also a glamorous young master from a wealthy family.
But unexpectedly, Pei Jun's background was so tragic. Compared to Ye Chaoqun and Ye Chaonan, who were truly cherished heirs, Pei Jun was practically an illegitimate son who was bullied at every turn.
Pei Jun suddenly laughed, looking at Nan Xiangwan with a speechless and complicated expression.
"Miss Nan, do you think I'm such a useless person?" Pei Jun asked.
Nan Xiangwan was afraid that Pei Jun would misunderstand because of this, so she quickly shook her head.
"Of course not! What do you take me for? You treat us as friends, so in return, I should treat you as a friend too!"
"I'm genuinely asking if you need any help. If you do need help..."
Nan Xiangwan has already made such a big decision. If he helps Pei Jun, it would be equivalent to offending the entire Pei family behind him.
The consequences of offending a powerful family are obvious. Since the other party has already shown such sincerity, how could Pei Jun possibly continue to blame him?
"No, no, no, Miss Nan, you don't need to worry about these things. I will handle them myself!"
"This is a competition between me and the Pei family. If I need your help, they will definitely not let me go. Even if I win, it will be an unfair victory!"
Pei Jun smiled firmly and declined Nan Xiangwan's offer.
This was an answer that Nan Xiangwan had expected, after all, Pei Jun was such an independent and stubborn person.
