As for Liu Jingxian and Liu Yanran, they had their driver take them home in a luxury car.
On the way, Liu Yanran, sitting in the back seat, asked in confusion, "Dad, you knew that Wang Qian would never let Second Uncle and Sister Qing go, so why did you still bring it up with Wang Qian?"
"This is called psychological warfare."
A mysterious smile appeared on Liu Jingxian's face. "Wang Qian sent Qingqing and your second uncle to prison one after another. Although his strong counterattack was justifiable and we have no reason to ask him for forgiveness, he is the victor now. If you make a request to him and he firmly refuses, guess what subtle changes will occur in our relationship with him?"
"What is our relationship with him?"
After a moment of careful consideration, Liu Yanran suddenly realized, "I understand. Even if he rejected us outright, he must feel some guilt on a psychological level. That's a kind of intangible capital, right?"
"Yanran, you are indeed clever!"
A hint of approval appeared in Liu Jingxian's eyes. "Knowing that he would refuse to forgive, I still asked him. Besides giving the rest of the family an explanation, I wanted to stimulate Wang Qian's sense of indebtedness as much as possible. In the future, when we bargain with him on other matters, his sense of indebtedness will indeed become an intangible asset for us to take the lead."
Then, he smiled mysteriously, "However, this is just a side benefit. My most important goal is to completely trap him."
"Dad, you mean...?"
"That's right!"
Before Liu Yanran could finish speaking, Liu Jingxian interrupted her, saying, "This industrial park plan was originally a huge net to harvest capital. Wang Qian, that self-righteous guy, not only foolishly walked into this trap, but he also managed to bring in 50 million yuan for us."
"He's our cash cow now, so it's no big deal to make some concessions to him occasionally."
"Furthermore, the deeper Wang Qian gets involved in this project, the more difficult it will be for him to extricate himself from it later."
"By the time he realizes he's been tricked, it will probably be too late!"
"At that time, let alone what benefits he can get from this project, he will have to give back the 10% of shares I gave him in full."
"Even the assets he painstakingly accumulated in other businesses will be completely lost."
These words instantly jolted Liu Yanran awake from her daze.
"Dad, is this the real reason why you kept showing weakness and making concessions to Wang Qian?"
I guess so!
Liu Jingxian remained noncommittal, saying, "As the current leader of the Liu Group, one must look at things from a higher and longer-term perspective, and not be concerned with temporary gains or losses, otherwise it would be short-sighted."
"What about Sister Qing and Second Uncle?"
A hint of reluctance flashed across Liu Yanran's pretty face. "Within the family, they are indeed our competitors, but they are ultimately blood relatives. Don't you really intend to get them out of prison?"
"Yanran, there's a cruel truth I hope you can understand."
Liu Jingxian said earnestly, "If you are born into a wealthy family and you are not ruthless or cold-blooded enough, your fate will be worse than that of an ordinary person."
Liu Yanran frowned slightly.
She was exposed to this way of thinking from a young age and strictly followed her father's teachings in practice.
As it turned out, her ruthlessness indeed cemented her supreme position among the younger generation of the Liu Group.
but,
After her interactions with Wang Qian resumed during this period, some of her preconceived notions gradually began to change.
Wang Qian is willing to risk his life for his family, go to great lengths for his friends, and make enormous sacrifices and concessions for his subordinates.
Those around Wang Qian would not betray him because of material or monetary temptations.
This friendship truly made her envious and jealous.
There are many people loyal to the Liu family, and she has no shortage of relatives and friends around her, but without exception, they all interact with her only for their own benefit.
She was truly tired of this heartless life.
If a person lives their entire life prioritizing self-interest and only thinking about themselves, what is the meaning of living?
She always felt incredibly lonely when the night was quiet.
She so wished that she had one or a group of people around her who treated her sincerely.
But looking at the entire Liu Group and everyone around her, she sadly discovered that there wasn't a single one.
Even the two people closest to her in the world, her father Liu Jingxian and her younger brother Liu Yang, prioritized profit in everything they did.
Her father did want to groom her, but only to consolidate his position in the Liu family. If she became an obstacle, she had no doubt that her father would cripple her at any time and then support her younger brother Liu Yang to replace her.
As for her younger brother Liu Yang, because he is younger and not ambitious enough, he has started to oppose her in every way recently, and is always thinking about how to seize more power from her.
If even her two closest friends act this way, it goes without saying that others who are more distant from her will only interact with her out of self-interest.
Living in such a cold and inhumane environment, what a pathetic and pitiful thing it is.
The more unattainable something is, the more it will be magnified in one's mind.
So, at some point, she began trying to make changes.
For example, last time, when the family was testing her cousin Liu Qingqing, according to the family's rules, no one was allowed to interfere.
But later she couldn't bear to see Liu Qingqing bring about her own destruction, so she secretly went to see Liu Qingqing and earnestly advised her not to go too far, lest things end badly.
Instead of receiving gratitude and sincerity from Liu Qingqing, she was met with increased vigilance and disdain from the other party.
Even so, she did not harbor resentment out of anger.
She firmly believes that as long as she shows enough sincerity, she will eventually be able to move the other person, and then, like Wang Qian and the people around him, they will open their hearts to her, and the feelings between them will transcend material things and money.
Therefore, if she has the opportunity to rescue Liu Qingqing and Liu Jingzhong, she will still do her best to do so.
Especially now that Liu Qingqing and Liu Jingzhong are in despair, it is the perfect time to win them over.
Because if she can rescue Liu Qingqing and Liu Jingzhong, she will be their savior. No matter how much grudge they had before, or how wary they were of her, they should be able to forgive and forget.
However,
“Yanran, lately your emotions have become increasingly unstable, and you’ve been doing things more and more indecisively.”
Liu Jingzhong timely reminded you: "If you continue like this, this personality will become your fatal flaw."
Liu Yanran suddenly came to her senses, her expression changing drastically for a moment. She cautiously said, "Dad, does our Liu family have to fight to the death? Can't we get along like ordinary families?"
