Clearing his throat, Liu Jingxian stared intently at Wang Qian. "I suppose you've already guessed why I invited you here?"
"Liu Qingqing and Liu Jingxian, right?" Wang Qian asked.
Liu Jingxian's eyes flickered slightly, but he still nodded. "Not bad!"
"There's nothing to talk about!"
Wang Qian refused decisively, saying, "I've said it before: if anyone crosses my bottom line, I will absolutely not show any mercy."
"I know they went a bit too far, but they didn't cause you much harm, did they?" Liu Jingxian said earnestly.
"Hehe, are you kidding me?"
Wang Qian laughed, but the smile was somewhat sinister. "You all know what despicable methods they used on me. What if they had succeeded? What kind of harm do you think it would have caused me?"
Liu Jingxian was speechless.
Although they hadn't been involved in Liu Qingqing and Liu Jingzhong's actions during this period, they were still aware of how the two sides were vying for power.
The methods used by Liu Jingzhong and his daughter against Wang Qian were indeed far too extreme and violent.
If Wang Qian makes a mistake at any step, the consequences will be utterly disastrous.
Especially considering that Liu Jingzhong even paid thugs to kill and silence them, if that had succeeded, Wang Qian wouldn't be sitting here talking to them now; he would be a corpse in the morgue.
Thinking about it this way, it's not really that excessive for Wang Qian to send Liu Qingqing and Liu Jingzhong to prison one after another.
After a moment of silence, he weakly added, "Even if you don't care about the monk, you should care about the Buddha. Liu Jingzhong is still my second brother. Could you please do me a favor..."
"This matter is not open to discussion!"
Before Liu Jingxian could finish speaking, Wang Qian interrupted him, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!"
He stood up, looked directly into Liu Jingxian's eyes, and added firmly, "If you want to use other conditions to threaten me into compromising, I can tell you now that it will only backfire!"
Liu Jingxian frowned.
He knew Wang Qian was angry, but he didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful.
What angered him most was that Wang Qian actually threatened him instead.
"Wang Qian, that's not what my dad meant. Don't misunderstand."
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Liu Yanran quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. There's no need to make things so tense."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "My second uncle is, after all, our blood relative. Now that he's in prison, we should do something for him, both morally and logically. As for whether you can make an exception for him, that's entirely up to your own decision."
"Even if you choose not to forgive, we will not hold a grudge or deliberately target you in other matters."
While saying this, Liu Yanran frantically winked at Liu Jingxian.
Although a hint of resentment flashed in Liu Jingxian's eyes, after careful consideration, he forced a smile and said, "Yanran is right, that's what I meant too. I hope you don't misunderstand."
He paused, then added, "The principle of not punishing family members is the most basic bottom line. My second brother and Qingqing crossed this line. I know they deserve what they got, but as the head of the Liu family, I can't just do nothing after my second brother has done this."
"Yes, now that you've said it, you've fulfilled your duties as the head of the Liu family."
Wang Qian nodded and added, "But I still stand by what I said: I will never forgive!"
Liu Jingxian fell silent.
Given Wang Qian's resolute attitude, it's unlikely that no matter how much he says, he won't be able to change Wang Qian's mind.
If he dares to use threats to force him, it is very likely to backfire.
"Why don't we talk about business instead?"
To ease the tension, Liu Yanran quickly changed the subject to break the awkward silence.
"Great, that's exactly what I was thinking!"
Wang Qian readily agreed.
As an elder, Liu Jingxian was able to take the initiative to back down. If he continues to be forceful, he will only be making trouble.
Liu Jingxian stopped insisting, his gloomy expression vanished, and he said with a beaming smile, "The park project has already raised 150 million yuan, so it can indeed officially start. Since you are in charge of the basic construction, when do you plan to start construction?"
"Are we really going to start work?" Wang Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Do you think I lied about the park project starting up to lure you here?" Liu Yanran said angrily.
"Uh...sorry, I really misunderstood!" Wang Qian smiled sheepishly.
"You insisted on being fully responsible for the construction of the park back then. Now that construction is about to begin, have you found a construction team?" Liu Jingxian pressed.
"Uh...not yet!"
Wang Qian shook his head awkwardly, "But give me some time, and I will focus on doing this well from now on."
"Since you haven't found a reliable infrastructure team yet, how about I introduce you to one?"
Liu Jingxian suggested at the opportune moment, "Or, we could hold a public bidding process and choose the company that offers the best value for money. What do you think?"
"Uncle, I think it's better to find one ourselves!"
Wang Qian politely declined, saying, "Since I'm in charge of this matter, I must do my best and not be careless in any way."
"What? You don't trust those infrastructure companies?" Liu Jingxian asked with interest.
"I really can't trust people I'm not familiar with."
Wang Qian did not deny it, saying, "I'm not denying that those infrastructure companies are incompetent, but we need to verify the company's strength and the professional quality of its employees."
"I see..."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Liu Jingxian's eyes, but he did not insist. He simply said, "Since you are now in charge of the construction of the park, I will naturally not interfere. However, whether the final inspection is up to you depends on how well the infrastructure team you have hired has done."
"Uncle, why don't you give me the blueprints, along with the requirements and standards for all aspects?"
Wang Qian said, "Let me study it carefully first, and then we can discuss and revise it. What do you think?"
The acceptance of infrastructure projects is a rather ambiguous matter.
Unless it's truly awful, the above sentence is usually enough to pass inspection. But if someone is determined to make things difficult, even a small problem can be used to completely block it.
Although he insisted on taking full responsibility for the construction of the park, he also needed to understand the various requirements and standards beforehand to avoid the shareholders using it as an opportunity to make things difficult for him later.
"sure!"
Liu Jingxian was quite straightforward: "I'll have my secretary send the blueprints and construction standards to you later. If you have any questions or anything you don't understand, feel free to come to me anytime, and we can discuss it."
"Alright, thank you in advance, Uncle!"
Seeing that Liu Jingxian was so easy to talk to, Wang Qian naturally wouldn't push his luck any further.
Afterwards, the three of them had a meal and then went their separate ways.
Wang Qian naturally took a taxi directly to the bus station, intending to take a bus home.
