"Everyone, please calm down!"
A voice came from the crowd, “We are civilized people, we can’t be so rude, especially to our friends.”
The voice appears with the person.
As the crowd in front parted, a young man in a black suit, with slicked-back hair and a fair complexion, walked over step by step.
His eyes were bright, sharp, and deep, and his expression was serious, as if he never smiled.
Suits-wearing thugs!
This was Wang Qian's initial impression upon first glance.
This guy, from his appearance and clothing to his facial expression, was exactly like the suit-wearing thug in a movie from later generations.
"You're Mr. Wang, right?"
The young man walked up to Wang Qian and stopped, deftly extending his right hand. "Hello, I'm Zuo Xianglong!"
"Nice to meet you!"
Wang Qian also extended a hand and shook hands with the other person.
"Did you bring the things?" Zuo Xianglong asked bluntly.
"Let's talk in the private room!" Wang Qian gestured for them to enter.
Zuo Xianglong nodded, then said to the group of henchmen behind him, "You guys stay outside and keep watch. You, you, and you, come in with me."
The three people pointed to by Zuo Xianglong responded in unison.
These three people included Ruan Chengjin and Tao Yu, whom Wang Qian was also very familiar with.
Ruan Chengjin was one thing, but when Wang Qian looked over, he deliberately gave him a wink.
But when he got to Tao Yu, he acted as if he didn't know him at all.
Tao Yu remained calm and quietly followed them into the private room.
"Mr. Zuo, what would you like to eat?" Wang Qian asked as they sat down at the table in the private room.
"Whatever, I'm not hungry."
After giving a casual reply, Zuo Xianglong said, "Let's talk about business first."
"Alright!"
Wang Qian nodded, staring intently at Zuo Xianglong. "I heard from Ruan Chengjin that if I give you a million in funding, you'll get half of the profits from the business on West Street. Is that true?"
Zuo Xianglong glanced back at Ruan Chengjin standing behind him and nodded. "That's right, I did promise."
"And now?"
Wang Qian pressed further, "Does it still count now?"
"Of course it counts!"
Zuo Xianglong grinned, "For those of us who make a living in the martial arts world, the most important thing is our reputation. Since we've already said it, we certainly won't go back on our word."
He paused, stared at Wang Qian, and said, "As long as Boss Wang is willing to sponsor me one million, once I become the boss of West Street, half of the profits from all my businesses will be yours."
"Mr. Zuo's personal appearance and the guarantee he made truly demonstrate his sincerity, however..."
Wang Qian abruptly changed the subject, saying each word clearly, "Words are meaningless!"
"Oh? You still won't believe me?"
Zuo Xianglong frowned slightly, and at the same time, he glanced back at Ruan Chengjin, his eyes filled with questioning and threat.
Ruan Chengjin's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly stepped forward and said earnestly, "Boss Wang, you can't go back on your word. You said before that as long as our second brother personally intervened, you would provide 500,000 in funding. Do you want to go back on your word now?"
He paused, then added meaningfully, "If that's the case, our second brother can think you're playing him for a fool. As for the consequences, you should know them yourself."
"Oh? Are you threatening me?"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "If this is your sincerity, then I'm afraid I've come to the wrong place today."
Zuo Xianglong narrowed his eyes, his expression shifting constantly.
Ruan Chengjin was extremely anxious.
Wang Qian had promised that as long as Zuo Xianglong was willing to meet with him in person and show enough sincerity, he would provide 500,000 yuan in assistance.
Now look what's happened! He finally managed to get Zuo Xianglong here, but Wang Qian suddenly changed his mind. Isn't this setting him up for failure?
Not only Ruan Chengjin, but Tao Yu, who had been silent all along, also had a look of anxiety in his eyes.
He had already told Wang Qian to quickly go through the motions of meeting with Zuo Xianglong today, give him 500,000 yuan as a token of sincerity, and then Wang Qian would no longer be able to risk his life.
As a result, Wang Qian unexpectedly created a complication at this crucial moment.
He doesn't know how to handle any situation that might arise as a result.
Just as the atmosphere in the private room was becoming increasingly tense, Zuo Xianglong spoke up again, "Then what do I need to do to show Boss Wang my sincerity?"
What Wang Qian was waiting for was Zuo Xianglong's compromise. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm a businessman. I only believe in tangible products."
"What do you mean?" Zuo Xianglong asked, puzzled.
"Aren't you running various businesses?"
Wang Qian said meaningfully, "I want to personally see all the businesses you run. If I think they are profitable, I can give you funding, not just 500,000, but even 1 million, 2 million, or 3 million."
Upon hearing this, Zuo Xianglong's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Is this true?"
In their minds, as long as they could swindle one million from Wang Qian, they would have already achieved their goal.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qian said he could also sponsor them with three million yuan.
It seems they seriously underestimated Wang Qian's wealth!
"certainly!"
Wang Qian repeated, "As I just said, I am a businessman. As long as I can make money, I will invest no matter how much. But it is really hard for me to believe Mr. Zuo's one-sided statement."
"So, what exactly does Mr. Wang want to see?"
After the initial surprise, Zuo Xianglong tentatively asked.
"Of course, it includes all the businesses you run!"
