Chapter 38 Five Imperial Edicts Issued to Generals

Yuan Tingchuan was observing a piece of raw material with great interest when someone behind him said, "Is that Tingchuan?"

As soon as he heard the man's voice, Yuan Tingchuan's fingers moved. He turned around and said lightly, "Mr. Qu, long time no see."

There was a flash of anger in Qu's father's eyes. How arrogant! After all, he was once his father-in-law. What was his attitude?

Father Qu said with a smile, "You and I are father-in-law and son-in-law, why are you talking to me like that? If you find something you like, just tell me."

Yuan Tingchuan sneered: "I remember that Mr. Qu's son-in-law is named Han, so don't make the mistake of recognizing him."

Qu Xin's elder brother Qu Bin couldn't help but say, "After all, our Qu family is Shu Rui's in-laws. Isn't it bad for President Yuan to be so aggressive?"

Yuan Tingchuan's face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "I remember that we signed a letter of severance. Shu Rui has nothing to do with you. It's better for Mr. Qu not to try to make connections. Do you need me to help you recall it again?"

Qu Bin paused, and his arrogance immediately disappeared.

There is no need to recall the past, as it is not a good experience. Back then, the Qu family was unwilling to sever ties with Shu Rui. Although Shu Rui seemed to have no future, what if he got better?

Yuan Shurui is Yuan Tingchuan's eldest son and has a natural advantage in inheritance rights.

As a result, Yuan Tingchuan remained calm on the surface, but secretly made moves in the stock market.

Yuan Tingchuan's drastic measures caught the Qu family off guard. No one expected that Yuan Tingchuan would suddenly take such a heavy hand. The market value of the Qu family's stocks evaporated by hundreds of millions overnight.

Although his vitality was not seriously damaged, he was hit without any resistance. If this continued, the consequences would be disastrous.

In desperation, the Qu family forced Qu Xin to sign a severance agreement.

Now, Yuan Tingchuan brought up the past again. Although two or three years had passed, Qu Bin still felt a little scared.

Father Qu took a look at his eldest son and thought that he was good at maintaining the status quo but not enterprising enough. However, he had relied on his wife to build his family's fortune, and he had no way to deal with this only legitimate son. Even though he was mediocre, he could only accept him. Just like with his daughter Qu Xin, he had long been dissatisfied with her, but since his wife protected her, he could only spoil her.

Yuan Tingchuan glanced at Qu's father inconspicuously. It would be fine if the Qu family realized what was going on, but if they continued to be confused, he wouldn't mind helping them wake up.

Qu Xin walked into the venue holding Han Ming's arm, and saw her father and Yuan Tingchuan standing together at a glance. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Seeing Du Ruo chatting with Assistant Bai, Qu Xin was furious again. Will this woman ever stop pestering Ting Chuan all day long? How could she be so shameless?

She turned around and glared at Han Ming warningly.

Han Ming whispered in her ear: "Baby, don't forget, I chose you, you are my sweetheart."

Qu Xin's eyes flashed with pride. What if it was true or false? Anyway, she was the winner, just like Yuan Tingchuan. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she still had to give face to her father. She still had to be polite when she met her father, right?

Qu Xin walked up to him and said in a sweet voice, "Dad, big brother, why did you come first? You didn't wait for me? Tingchuan is here too?"

Yuan Tingchuan snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, what a family of idiots.

Before Qu Xin could get angry, she heard a boss next to her say, "Mr. Yuan, long time no see? Why are you so leisurely? It seems that the Yuan Group has made up its mind."

Yuan Tingchuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "I am now free from all worries, so I have authorized Ms. Du to be my agent. Ms. Du will be in charge of today's auction."

The man looked at Du Ruo in surprise. What a beauty! He glanced between Yuan Tingchuan and Du Ruo with special interest, his eyes gradually growing.

A woman who could make Yuan Tingchuan look at her differently? Either she had extraordinary skills and abilities, or...

Qu Xin's face turned pale with anger. She stared at Du Ruo. If looks could kill, Du Ruo would probably die again.

Qu's father frowned and glanced at Qu Xin, signaling his son to keep an eye on Qu Xin.

Qu Bin nodded helplessly. His mother was really something. She gave 30% of the shares of Qu Group to Qu Xin. How could she spoil her daughter like that?

Qu Xin now holds real power in the Qu family. If she becomes willful, it could be a disaster. Even though Qu Bin feels helpless, he has to coax her.

Qu Xin's eyes were clearly looking at the direction where the people from the Yuan Group were leaving, and she secretly swore in her heart that whatever that woman wanted, she would not let her get it!

Du Ruo and Yuan Tingchuan walked towards the venue. She said softly, "Mr. Yuan, please stop. If you scare me away, you won't have any fun."

Yuan Tingchuan knew that Du Ruo had seen that he had angered Qu Xin just now. He whistled and said nonchalantly: "The imperial edict sent out five generals. Didn't Ms. Du prepare it a long time ago? I just gave you a push."

Du Ruo smiled and said, "Be careful not to push it too far. I am just a nobody, and it doesn't matter if I fall down. But if I make a wrong decision, it will damage Mr. Yuan's reputation."

Yuan Tingchuan laughed out loud, attracting a lot of sidelong glances. He leaned close to Du Ruo's ear, his breath tickling Du Ruo's heart, and whispered, "Reputation and the like are just floating clouds. If you care about them, you will lose."

Du Ruo rolled her eyes at him. How could this man be so childish? Still playing around? Be careful not to get carried away.

Yuan Tingchuan stopped smiling, walked slowly into the meeting room and took his seat.

Du Ruo and Bai Qing took their seats one after another. The first items to be auctioned were some small rough materials at very cheap prices. The competition was not fierce, but the atmosphere was very lively.

As the prices of the auction items got higher and higher, more and more people joined in. Naturally, Yuan looked down on these small shrimps and did not enter.

Du Ruo quietly made a gesture to Ling Yun in front of her on the left, and Ling Yun gave her a look that said, "Don't worry."

Yuan Tingchuan's eyes flashed, but he said nothing.

As long as it does not harm the interests of the Yuan family, Yuan Tingchuan will not interfere in Du Ruo's private affairs. However, he is a little confused. What's good about this Ling mistress?

He couldn't help but glance at Ling Yun twice, secretly curling his lips at Ling Yun's taste. Du Ruo, what's with that look? How is this Ling Xiaosan more reliable than him?

Assistant Bai was secretly surprised. It had been a long time since he had such a rich expression on his boss's face. In recent years, the frequency of his expression had been decreasing and was almost non-existent.

The climax of the auction is about to come, and the price of raw materials has increased from hundreds of thousands to millions to tens of millions now.

Special Assistant Bai checked the number plate in his hand and joined the battle.

As soon as he raised the card, Qu Xin, who was not far away, raised the number plate in his hand with great enthusiasm, as if he was determined to win.

Qu Bin said helplessly: "Can you please stop being so willful? What good will it do you to anger Yuan Tingchuan? Can't you just live a peaceful life with Han Ming?"
