“Shen Qian! Stop pretending. Losing the Haihai development project must be eating you up inside, right? Do you think that by offending me and trying to please the Yan family, you’ll get what you want? Dream on.” Lushen stood up, his gaze as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to poke holes in him.

“Indeed, the Lu family and the Yan family have never gotten along, but there’s something you might not be aware of—My uncle is Zhiyi Real Estate’s third-largest shareholder, and he represents the Lujia. In other words, Zhiyi has a connection with the Lujia. Despite this, Huihai ultimately chose Zhiyi over Tianshui. Why do you think that is?”

Shen Qian’s expression darkened slightly. This was the first time he had shown signs of being unsettled since entering the room.

Lushen smiled and continued to hit him where it hurt, “You claim to be a businessman, but you don’t even understand the basic principle of ‘profit above all else.’ Only a fool would think that the Yan family would sacrifice their interests to distance themselves from the Lu family. Let me make it clear today—Tian Shui didn’t win the bid not because I sabotaged it but because you, Shen Qian, were willing to sacrifice the allure of personal connections for the sake of profit. You, who usually appear so clever, why did you make such a foolish move at a critical moment?”

Huihai chose Zhiyi Realty because it could offer greater profits for the company, while Tianshui could not.

In the end, it was all a decision made by Shen Qian himself.

“Look at you, willing to offend me and the Lu family just for a development project. In the end, instead of gaining, you’ve only lost. You could have achieved your goal by giving up a bit of profit, but you insisted on taking shortcuts and resorting to shady tactics. Now, it’s backfired, and it’s simply laughable.”

Shen Qian’s eyes narrowed slightly, a fleeting glint of anger in his eyes.

Lushen laughed even more recklessly, enjoying the fact that he had taken Shen Qian for a ride.

“Does the taste of failure not sit well with you?”

“Indeed, it’s not pleasant, but…” Shen Qian’s tone changed, and he chuckled softly. “There’s a saying, ‘The only constant is change.’ Right now, I may not be as skilled as you, so I’ll willingly admit defeat. But that doesn’t mean it will be the same in the future. I hope the Lu family continues to prosper, so that you can enjoy your life.”

With that, he stood up.

Clang!

Lushen slammed his hand on the table and spoke firmly as he watched Shen Qian’s retreating figure, “If you want to turn the tables, you’ll need to see if you can live long enough for that kind of effort! I’ve lived to this day without being used by anyone or threatened by anyone, and you, Shen Qian, have gotten both! This meal today was just a small gesture. I believe we’ll have many more opportunities to meet in the future. By then, I’ll be sure to prepare the finest food and wine for you. I hope you’ll be able to enjoy it.”

Who wouldn’t know how to threaten?

It was all about speaking tough, and it was all talk.

However, Lushen wasn’t joking, nor was it just empty words.

He watched Shen Qian’s seemingly calm and composed face, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger.

This grudge was set!

He would not admit defeat until he played Shen Qian to death.

The next day, Shen Qian and Tan Yao took an early flight back to Ning City.

They went straight to the company.

Having lost the bidding, all the preparations made before had gone to waste. There was still a lot of work to do to handle the aftermath, so there was no time to slack off or wallow in despair. It was a time for damage control and picking up the pieces.

“President Shen, maybe you should go back and rest for a while…”

“No need,” Shen Qian interrupted him. “We have a meeting in twenty minutes. Make sure all the departments are prepared.”

“Understood,” Tan Yao replied.

The news of Mingya’s imminent bankruptcy spread like wildfire in just two days.

Throughout the company, fear and uncertainty were palpable..
