"Huh???" Luo Qingyan asked softly, "Is this...is this okay? What if he wants to go back afterwards?"
Luo Xiao glared at him: "We got it through our own abilities, why should we return it?"
"Oh, I understand." The little yandere listened to her father's teachings.
Qin Bai was dumbfounded.
That makes so much sense!
This isn't just treating Luo Yuquan as a non-human being; it's treating him as a carbon-based life form.
Qin Bai picked up his wine glass with a hint of sympathy.
"Brother, have a sip, or I'm afraid you'll be so angry you'll die."
Luo Yuquan gritted his teeth and said, "I... really... you're saying this..."
After talking for a long time, he couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
The two drank a glass together.
Qin Bai smiled and said, "Let me tell you something happy. Luo Jingyi's situation is almost settled."
"Oh?" A glint of light flashed in Luo Yuquan's eyes: "If that's the case..."
Suddenly, he turned to look at He Lingyi.
The latter laughed and said, "Don't worry, this place has been shielded long ago, the content of today's conversation will not be leaked."
“Okay.” Luo Yuquan turned to Qin Bai: “Actually, I’ve never really agreed with what you’re doing; it’s just too risky.”
"It's nothing. Even if we fail, at most we'll just be wasting one trump card."
"Since you've already done this, I won't say anything more. What are the odds of winning?"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Bai said, "About 80%."
"That high? Luo Jingyi isn't stupid. Are you really that confident?"
Qin Bai laughed and said, "My aunt has already contacted the people behind the Luo family. Once she has received enough benefits, she can treat anyone as a pawn."
Luo Yuquan frowned slightly: "Actually, I still don't understand. People with abilities like my grandfather shouldn't be abandoned."
"Just look at this from a different perspective. If you use a piece for too long, it's inevitable that it will develop disloyal intentions."
"Yes, that's true. He's overreaching. He wants to place his own people in both politics and the military."
Qin Bai nodded and said, "So, all I need to do is offer some enticing incentives."
Luo Yuquan smiled and said, "Actually, this is also thanks to your choice. If we hadn't used the company you and Deng Yue collaborated on as the bidding project, they probably wouldn't have felt at ease, and besides..."
He stopped abruptly and looked up at Qin Bai.
"Did you anticipate this all along?"
"Just a coincidence," Qin Bai said lazily, leaning back in his chair.
Luo Yuquan's gaze towards him changed. Having spent so many years navigating the political arena, he had seen far too many self-righteous geniuses.
He always felt he could manipulate people's hearts, but in the end, he brought trouble upon himself and died without a burial place.
But Qin Bai seems to be an exception.
Luo Yuquan continued, "Why don't you contact those people yourself? Haven't you guessed who they are...?"
Qin Bai interrupted him directly: "Brother, I don't want to know too much. The more you know, the faster you'll die."
Undeterred, Luo Yuquan said, "If you really have no intention of pursuing a career in officialdom, I can..."
"No, I have no thoughts about that at all. I know my own limitations, and only by knowing my place can I live longer."
Qin Bai calmly declined the opportunity that others had been dreaming of.
Luo Hongqing laughed and said, "Nephew, don't even think about it. I already talked to him about it with the military, but I was rejected just the same time."
Luo Yuquan shook his head with a wry smile: "Alright, let's drop this matter."
Qin Bai smiled and said, "Brother, there's something else I need your help with."
"you say."
“Keep an eye on Luo Jingyi’s every move. He has great ambitions. After he gains real power in the Luo family, he may take the opportunity to make a move against me.”
"No, you can rest assured," Luo Yuquan said confidently.
"Why?"
“I watched him grow up, and I know his personality. He is more cautious than my father. Once he gains real power in the Luo family, I'm afraid the first thing he will do is to consolidate it, not to expand it.”
Qin Bai laughed and said, "That's good. After all, it's not easy to find a suitable person. I don't want to keep fighting. It's too troublesome."
"That's easy, just let Qingyan take over the Luo family." Luo Yuquan smiled with narrowed eyes.
"no."
"I don't want to."
The two voices expressed the same meaning.
Luo Qingyan picked up her wine glass and looked at Qin Bai: "In order for us to share the same values, shall we have a drink?"
"I'll do whatever Sister Luo says."
The two laughed and drank the wine in their glasses.
Luo Yuquan sighed: "This is the first time I've met someone who doesn't want power or money. No wonder you all ended up together."
The yandere girl laughed and said, "We have enough money in our family, why do we need so much? We might as well go out and see the world happily every day."
Luo Xiao nodded in deep agreement: "I agree with Qingyan's point of view. Shuyi and I have been busy for most of our lives. If we hadn't experienced bankruptcy, how would we have understood the meaning of life?"
Yin Shuyi smiled but didn't say anything. She was very satisfied with her current life. It turned out that she had really wasted her time in those years.
"Okay, everyone has their own way of living, I won't force you to."
Luo Yuquan turned to Qin Bai: "When will the company's project be completed?"
"It's hard to say. Construction sites in the north are very difficult to work on in winter. I estimate we'll have to wait a few more months."
"Is there a problem with the publicity?"
"We started building hype a long time ago. My old live streaming account would give out some perks every day and talk about the company's progress, and the viewers really enjoyed listening to it."
"It's a bit of a pity. It would have been better if the handover ceremony of the Luo family head had been held after the company was established. That would have had a better publicity effect."
Qin Bai laughed and said, "Who said this timing wouldn't have any effect?"
"Hmm? What do you want to do?"
"Wouldn't the patriarchal handover ceremony invite prominent families and business figures to attend?"
Luo Yuquan was slightly taken aback: "You're not planning to cause trouble at that time, are you? Let me tell you, the people invited that day aren't just business people, but also high-ranking officials from Kyoto. If you do that..."
Qin Bai waved his hand casually: "Big brother, I'm just going to watch the fun. Don't you know me? I swear on my character."
He raised three fingers at the same time.
It's just that the middle part is a little longer.
Luo Yuquan covered his face, trying to stop himself from cursing out loud.
You can throw away the garbage.
If you hadn't mentioned your character, I could still believe you.
With your character, you'd be a negative number long ago.
never mind.
Let's pray that Grandpa can abdicate safely.
During this time, hiding away to burn incense and pray to Buddha is better than anything else.
