"Wang Qian, I've heard about your affair with Yanran!"
Sure enough, Liu Jingxian's smile vanished, and he immediately got to the point, "You want a transportation line from our Liu family's passenger transport company, right?"
"Yes!"
Wang Qian grinned, "This transport line must be just a drop in the ocean for you, Uncle. Surely you wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for a junior like me?"
"You're quite the flatterer, aren't you?"
Liu Jingxian laughed and scolded, "But there's a saying that goes, 'You have to be strong yourself to forge iron.' If you want something, you have to exchange it for something else."
"Didn't Yanran tell you?"
Wang Qian glanced at Liu Yanran standing next to him and said, "I already talked to her yesterday. The condition is that I help her reconcile with Wu Yanping."
"You're quite adept at finding opportunities, but you might fool Yanran, but don't even think about fooling me."
Liu Yanran, who was standing next to him, was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what do you mean by that? How did I get fooled by Wang Qian?"
Liu Jingxian waved his hand, signaling Liu Yanran not to interrupt, then tapped his fingers on the table, "Wang Qian, this isn't a deal, it's trying to get something for nothing."
"Uncle is not young anymore. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for him to say such things against his conscience?" Wang Qian said with a half-smile.
"Wang Qian, what did you say?"
Liu Yanran was furious and pointed at Wang Qian, angrily shouting, "How dare you..."
"Yanran, shut up!"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Jingxian gave a low shout.
Liu Yanran trembled and had no choice but to shut her mouth in a huff.
Liu Jingxian said meaningfully, "Do you think that only you can bring about a reconciliation between Yanran and Wu Yanping?"
"I didn't say that!"
Wang Qian shrugged, his face full of innocence. "Is that what Yanran told you?"
"I didn't say that!"
Liu Yanran glared at Wang Qian, "You're trying to sow discord between me and my dad again."
"What are you saying? Do you think I, an outsider, can sow discord between you and your father?"
Wang Qian rolled his eyes and turned his gaze back to Liu Jingxian's face. "Uncle, what were you trying to say just now?"
"Do you think that only you can bring Yanran and Wu Yanping to a reconciliation, and that even if we exchange a passenger transport line with you, we'll still be the ones who get the better deal?" Liu Jingxian asked.
"Isn't that right?" Wang Qian retorted.
Liu Jingxian narrowed his eyes, and the kind smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Liu Yanran, who was standing next to her, subconsciously tensed up.
This was a sign that her father was about to get angry.
Only Wang Qian on the other side remained calm and composed, completely unaware that he had said something wrong.
But in reality, after exchanging glances with Wang Qian for a moment, Liu Jingxian did not get angry. Instead, he smiled nonchalantly and said, "You have good composure!"
"If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."
Wang Qian shrugged. "I'm stating the facts. If you insist on denying it, Uncle, I have nothing more to say."
"What do you mean by having nothing to say?" Liu Jingxian pressed.
"Uncle, if you ask a question you already know the answer to, then the difficulty of our conversation will probably increase several times over!" Wang Qian shook his head in disappointment.
Liu Jingxian raised an eyebrow. "Interesting!"
Then, he straightened his expression and asked with interest, "Then can you tell me how you figured out we got the better deal?"
"It's very simple!"
Wang Qian smiled mysteriously, "First, given Yanran's strong-willed nature, for her to take the initiative to reconcile with Wu Yanping is practically a miracle."
"Secondly, Uncle, the fact that you came to see me in person is enough to show how much you value this matter."
"So, it's just a transportation line of your Liu family's passenger transport company. It's not very valuable. Even if you give it all to me in exchange, as long as I agree and help Yanran and Wu Yanping reconcile, you will definitely get a great deal."
At this point, Wang Qian stared intently at Liu Jingxian, "Uncle, am I right?"
Clap clap clap!
Liu Jingxian clapped his hands and laughed, his eyes filled with even more admiration.
"The younger generation is truly formidable!"
He shook his head and sighed, "If my son Liu Yang had half your ability, I would agree without hesitation to step down from the spotlight right now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yanran's eyes and body flickered.
Jealousy, resentment, and disappointment flashed across her face in turn.
But as if afraid that Liu Jingxian would find out, she forcibly suppressed the complicated thoughts in her heart.
Wang Qian happened to capture all of this.
It seems the Liu family isn't a monolithic entity after all!
Perhaps this will be the key to breaking the deadlock in the future.
While he was thinking this in his heart, he remained outwardly calm.
"Uncle, you flatter me!"
He said sincerely, "I've been poor since I was a child. Even though my current wealth is nothing to your liking, Uncle, I have to rack my brains and put in a lot of effort to protect this hard-earned wealth. That's why I've thought things through more thoroughly than others."
"Let's get back to the main topic!"
Liu Jingxian waved his hand, forcibly changing the subject, "Since you're so smart, you should have already guessed why Yanran took the initiative to reconcile with Wu Yanping, right?"
"I have absolutely no idea!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "I only know that this matter should be very important to your Liu family, but how exactly is it important? How could I possibly guess?"
He then said eagerly, "Actually, I'm quite curious too. Why don't you tell me, Uncle?"
"Stop pretending to be confused in front of me."
Liu Jingxian snorted coldly: "Didn't you just say that asking questions you already know the answer to makes the conversation more difficult? Pretending to be stupid doesn't seem like your style, does it?"
