"I'd like to meet this Wang Qian in person."
Liu Jingxian rubbed his hands together and said, "Now that you mention it, I'm quite interested in this young man. Make arrangements for me to meet him tomorrow."
"Dad, do you really want to see that Wang Qian?"
Liu Yanran immediately became anxious, "He's just a peasant, he doesn't even respect his own daughter, he has no right to let you..."
"Enough!"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Jingxian interrupted him, "Just do what I told you to do. Have I been talking to a brick wall?"
Liu Yanran felt extremely wronged.
To be precise, it was frustrating.
She tried her best to discredit Wang Qian, but instead, she won over his father's admiration for him.
A classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead!
But under Liu Jingxian's piercing gaze, she had no choice but to nod. "Okay, then I'll take you to meet Wang Qian tomorrow."
"Okay, you can go now!" Liu Jingxian waved his hand.
"Dad, you should get some rest!"
After saying this respectfully, Liu Yanran left the study.
"Hmph, you think you can bring Wang Qian under your command? No way!"
Liu Yanran secretly hardened her heart.
Although she agreed to take her father to meet Wang Qian, she couldn't just stand by and watch Wang Qian gain her father's favor.
She has suffered greatly during this period.
She was truly traumatized by Wang Qian's methods.
During this time, Wang Qian tried every means to seize control of the Liu family's businesses.
She couldn't even imagine how much trouble and loss it would cause them if Wang Qian really joined the Liu family.
But then she had a sudden inspiration.
Wasn't that industrial park project a grand scheme orchestrated by her father, designed to lure her into a trap and then catch her like a turtle in a jar?
Since it's a setup, if Wang Qian really gets involved, wouldn't he just become meat on their chopping block?
"Look at my head, I've been so angry with Wang Qian that I've lost my mind!"
Once she understood this, she slapped her forehead, and her depressed mood vanished instantly.
Instead of trying to stop her, she was filled with anticipation.
...
As night fell, Wang Qian returned to the shop.
He had intended to return to the village, but considering that the bus driver issue hadn't been resolved and that he had a lot to do tomorrow, he changed his mind.
Sure enough, early the next morning, just after he had finished washing up, someone came to his door.
"Wang Qian, do you have time now?"
It's Liu Yanran.
Today, instead of wearing a cheongsam as usual, I wore a more casual outfit and went out without heavy makeup, which was a very rare occasion for me.
You look much prettier today!
Wang Qian looked Liu Yanran up and down, and a rare warm smile appeared on his face.
This is the Liu Yanran we should all look to as the standard of beauty.
"Wang Qian, are you insulting me?"
Liu Yanran snorted coldly, her face full of disdain.
However, seeing the utterly sincere smile on Wang Qian's face, a hint of confusion flashed deep in her eyes.
Could it be that Wang Qian dislikes her simply because her appearance and clothing don't align with his aesthetic standards?
"I was just saying it casually. What you wear and how you dress is none of my business!"
Liu Yanran was unmoved, and Wang Qian showed no respect either, immediately changing the subject, "So, what do you want from me?"
“My dad wants to meet you!” Liu Yanran said.
"Your dad wants to see me?" Wang Qian asked, somewhat surprised.
Liu Yanran's father, Liu Jingxian, is the current head of the Liu family and the richest man in Nanming County.
Such an important person actually wants to see him?
What's going on?
However, his thoughts quickly shifted, and he felt relieved.
After Liu Yanran discussed the terms with him yesterday, she should have gone back to ask her father for advice.
After all, the Liu family was prepared to invest 500 million yuan in the industrial park project.
Since he wanted to participate, it was normal for Liu Jingxian to want to meet him.
"The conditions you discussed with me yesterday, you can discuss with my father in person after you meet him!"
With that, Liu Yanran turned and left.
Wang Qian did not hesitate and immediately followed.
...
Not long after, at the Blue Sky Garden.
"My dad's right there, come with me!"
After getting out of the car, Liu Yanran pointed to a pavilion surrounded by water on three sides and strode over.
Inside that pavilion sat a middle-aged man dressed in a robe from the old era.
He has a square face, sword-like eyebrows, and deep-set eyes.
He was holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, which he was fiddling with intermittently.
Looking at this middle-aged man who combined domineering presence with refined elegance, Wang Qian was filled with mixed emotions.
Liu Jingxian, Chairman of the Liu Group!
This was indeed the first time he had seen it in this lifetime.
But in his previous life, during the ten years he lived off Liu Yanran, they met occasionally and were quite familiar with each other.
In his previous life, Liu Jingxian had never even given him a second glance.
Having been by Liu Yanran's side for so long, even when they occasionally met, Liu Jingxian would scoff at him. Let alone shaking hands, it seemed as if even glancing at him would offend his eyes.
"Dad, Wang Qian is here!"
Upon entering the pavilion, Liu Yanran bowed to the middle-aged man and asked for permission.
"Wang Qian, right?"
Liu Jingxian gave a kind smile that only an elder would give, and pointed to the stone bench in front of him, "Since you're here, sit down, don't be shy."
Wang Qian walked over and sat down opposite Liu Jingxian, his expression neither humble nor arrogant.
