Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

In the Lingnan Restaurant, three forces gathered.

On one side is the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce headed by Wan Shu.

Sitting opposite was a middle-aged man wearing a green shirt, holding a folding fan, with an elegant demeanor and a scholarly air.

Qin Ming was the last to arrive with Song Dingsheng and Chang Baishan.

Wan Shu took the initiative to introduce him:

"Your Highness, this is the second son of the Sun family, his name is Sun Miao."

"Hello, Mr. Sun."

Qin Ming glanced at Sun Miao and the people behind him, and took the initiative to say hello.

The Sun family’s current intentions are still unclear. Without knowing the other party’s exact thoughts, Qin Ming is not willing to treat them as enemies directly.

Sun Miao stood up from his seat, bowed politely, and complimented Qin Ming:

"I've heard of your highness's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed handsome and a man of great talent!"

"You're welcome. You came so suddenly today that the restaurant wasn't prepared. We can only serve a small amount of wine. I hope you don't mind."

After a few words, both sides had already given each other some face.

After taking his seat, Qin Ming looked at Wan Shu.

Wan Shu was the one who initiated today's situation, so naturally he had to listen to what both parties were saying.

"Your Highness, the Sun family came here today mainly because of what happened a few days ago."

Wan Shu took the initiative to start the conversation.

It was still about the previous incident at the reception building.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and explained to Sun Miao:

"What happened at the reception building before was not what I wanted."

Sun Miao nodded, did not pursue the matter, but instead began to speak for Qin Ming.

"I'm aware of this matter. The main cause is still Wu Sanshao, not that His Highness is deliberately targeting us."

"Since the Sun family is so reasonable, there's no need for me to waste my breath on them. But since you came here today, Young Master Sun shouldn't just be talking about this matter, right?"

For the Sun family, the Yingbin Building is just a small business that cannot be any smaller.

If you stand against Qin Ming just because of a small restaurant conflict, you are really underestimating the Sun family.

"Of course not. I came here today to bury the hatchet with His Highness."

Sun Miao waved.

A few young men came up behind me, each holding a small box in their hands, which looked heavy.

dong dong dong.

The boxes were opened one by one.

The first few boxes are all filled with gold bars.

The last box contained a piece of paper.

"This is three thousand taels of gold, and the title deed to the Yingbin Building. This is our apology for asking Li Lianshan to take action earlier."

Sun Miao spoke gently, took out the land deed and slowly pushed it in front of Qin Ming.

He generously admitted that it was he who instructed Li Lianshan.

Even the compensation was equally generous.

"Why be so formal? Let's just keep to ourselves and work together to make Lingnan a better place."

The other party was such a big family, but they still took a humble approach and gave a large amount of compensation.

According to Qin Ming's experience, at this time the other party has definitely not finished speaking and is likely to make a huge request right away.

So he did not rashly accept the other party's compensation.

"Your Highness, the Sun family is very optimistic about you. If you are willing, we can cooperate."

At this time, Sun Miao finally revealed his purpose.

"How to cooperate?"

"Let the Sun family take over all your assets."

Without any concealment, Sun Miao spoke seriously.

"I have worked so hard to lay the foundation, why should I take a share of the Sun family's profits?"

The other party's request was for him to share the money with the Sun family.

Although as the cake gets bigger and bigger, I will definitely give an industry to the locals in the future.

Just like the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce got a lot of benefits from Qin Ming.

But at least we can’t give anything to the Sun family now.

Sun Miao seemed to have guessed that Qin Ming would say this.

Shaking his head with a confident look of victory, he warned:

"Your Highness, our cooperation has actually already begun. If I must say, you are the one who has the advantage."

"how you said that?"

"Your port, your mines in the South Barbarians, and the smuggling business, with just your few men, can you really cover it up perfectly and avoid the court's investigation?"

……

Qin Ming was shocked!

This was a situation he had never imagined!

Turning his head, he looked at Wan Shu to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Wan Shu nodded slightly and did not deny it.

Sun Miao continued at this time:

"Your Highness, in fact, since you arrived in Lingnan, many major forces have noticed you."

"We are just one of them, and the first one to come down and contact you."

Qin Ming remained silent.

He knew that these local wealthy and powerful families were very powerful, but he didn't expect that they could even cover up the whole situation.

Even my own development is within their plan!

"How to cooperate?"

After a long time, Qin Ming slowly raised his head.

"It's very simple. I have a younger sister named Sun Luoyan. She is extremely beautiful. With the support of my Sun family, I'm sure she will be a perfect match for you."

"Our request is that you marry my sister, and the Sun family will protect you in the future."

"You don't have to worry about us having other requests. If we really do have something to ask for, just think of it as the Sun family taking a liking to your ability and courage and making a bet on you."

Sun Miao spoke sincerely.

When Qin Ming first arrived in Lingnan, he was stripped of his position as crown prince and lost the support of Guan Yue's father.

He started from scratch and achieved so much in Lingnan.

This caused those forces that had been watching to waver.

Qin Ming now is enough for them to personally deal with him!

"Why do we have to marry?!"

Before Qin Ming could speak, Wan Shu frowned and slammed the table!

As we all know, when the King of Qin was exiled to Lingnan, he took a man named Guan Yue with him.

It is true that the Sun family proposed a marriage at this time to give Qin Ming power, but it also meant that the position of Qin Ming's princess would be occupied.

Guan Yue can only be a concubine.

But she was the one who had been with Qin Ming through thick and thin for so long!

This is not fair!

Wan Shu and Guan Yue's relationship is not fake. At this moment, she is willing to stand up for her, no matter who is standing opposite her.

But what about Qin Ming?

After falling into Lingnan, no major forces had any contact with him.

Now, an olive branch has finally been extended. With just the position of a princess, you can obtain resources that are enough to deceive the heavens!

The Sun family is a top force that can help Qin Ming conceal his deeds from the imperial court, engage in large-scale smuggling, and develop himself steadily!

The Guan family had long since fallen into decline.

From the perspective of interests, there is no room for hesitation at all.

"Your Highness, there's no need to think about this. Anyone who achieves great things must give up something before they gain anything. You can't take all the benefits for yourself."

"With the help of the Sun family, I'm sure you'll be able to settle down in Lingnan. In a few years, I might even be able to find an opportunity for you to return to the throne of Crown Prince. With the power of the Sun family, you should understand that what I say is true."

Seeing that Qin Ming had no response, Sun Miao began to persuade him in a gentle manner.

He was not afraid of Wan Shu making a fuss. No matter what, this matter would depend on Qin Ming's own choice.

Wan Shu interrupted Sun Miao again and again.

She looked at Qin Ming angrily, the development of the situation was beyond her control.

"Qin Ming! Are you really going to give up Xiaoyue?!"
