Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Meng Chuan, I feel that old man Chen is quite easy to talk to and reasonable. Aren't we going a bit too far?"

Back at Meng Chuan's villa, Liu Qian held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but express her feelings.

After all, Mr. Chen was a highly respected elder.

He is also the founder of a company with a market value of hundreds of billions.

It's truly remarkable that he could be so humble.

Moreover, although the Chen and Shen families had schemed against Meng Chuan and the Liu Group, they at least did not suffer any substantial losses.

This time, they demanded shares worth 3 billion yuan from the other party.

Liu Qian suddenly felt that Meng Chuan's actions seemed rather unethical.

"Hehe, that's the brilliance of Old Master Chen. Even when he apologizes, he makes sure that others feel unworthy of the apology, or even grateful."

Meng Chuan explained with a hint of helplessness.

Liu Qian found it difficult to understand the intricacies of the situation.

She had never experienced such intrigue and backstabbing growing up, and became a teacher directly after graduation.

He has always been upright and honest, unaware of the wickedness of human nature.

However, Meng Chuan didn't expect Liu Qian to see through all of this.

Because Meng Chuan didn't want Liu Qian to suffer the same hardships he had experienced.

Only through hardship can one mature.

He only hoped that Liu Qian could always keep this innocence and live a peaceful and joyful life.

"what do you mean?"

Liu Qian pressed on with the question like a curious child.

But just as Meng Chuan was about to explain...

Meng Chuan and Liu Qian's phones rang at the same time.

Meng Chuan took out his phone and saw that it was Liu Fu calling.

Liu Qian's phone showed that the caller was her younger brother, Liu Dong.

"Keep your voice down, take turns answering."

Liu Qian suddenly felt nervous, as if she had been caught sneaking out to play by her family.

He hurriedly grabbed his phone and ran to the side to answer it.

Meng Chuan found Liu Qian's expression amusing and sat on the sofa to press the answer button.

"Meng Chuan, I'm back from Shanghai. Qian'er should have been back yesterday too, but I don't know where she went. She's back for dinner tonight, and I asked Dongzi to go and call her."

Liu Fu's voice sounded tired, indicating that he had been extremely busy in Shanghai recently.

"Okay, Uncle! Qian'er and I will go back together then."

Meng Chuan responded with a smile, then hung up the phone.

At this moment, in the Liu family villa next door, Liu Fuxian was stunned.

Go back with Qian'er?

Is Meng Chuan now calling Qian'er?

Also, shall we go back together?

A relieved smile suddenly appeared on Liu Fu's face.

At the same time, Liu Qian, who had just hung up the phone, walked towards Meng Chuan with a happy expression.

"Hehe, my dad is back. My brother asked me to come back for dinner with you."

She was overjoyed that her family could be reunited.

"Really! So Dad's back. We definitely have to go back."

Meng Chuan pretended to be surprised.

Upon hearing the term "our dad," Liu Qian paused, then feigned anger and scolded playfully:

"What do you mean 'our dad'? That's my dad! Aren't you ashamed?"

Liu Qian had no idea that her angry expression was incredibly cute in Meng Chuan's eyes.

A feast for the eyes, this is it!

A warm current surged through Meng Chuan's abdomen, and he stood up abruptly.

With a gasp from Liu Qian, Meng Chuan pulled her into his arms.

"Stop it, stop it, Meng Chuan, I'm still in pain!"

Holding Meng Chuan, Liu Qian suddenly said with some fear.

"I did it very gently."

Meng Chuan said somewhat impatiently.

"No, it really won't work. How about tomorrow?"

Liu Qian pleaded.

But she couldn't break free from Meng Chuan's embrace no matter what she did.

Although she was a ninth-degree black belt, she seemed so helpless at this moment.

"Then call me 'husband' and kiss me again."

Meng Chuan fully displayed his relentless and shameless spirit.

He was once a stern and charismatic figure who spoke eloquently and confidently on the podium.

Now she can only be like a frightened kitten, obedient to Meng Chuan in every way.

But that one "husband" was barely audible.

……

In the evening, Meng Chuan and Liu Qian finished washing up and got dressed.

They returned to the Liu family villa with light steps.

The entire Jinbi Mansion has recently been placed under martial law.

Non-residents are not allowed to enter the community, thus preventing paparazzi from sneaking in.

Otherwise, Meng Chuan really wouldn't dare to openly be seen as a couple with Liu Qian in the neighborhood.

"Are you back?"

Liu Fu's face lit up with joy when he saw Meng Chuan and Liu Qian enter.

"You're back, Uncle. You've been working hard lately."

Meng Chuan felt a pang of guilt when he saw that Liu Fu had lost weight.

Although he is a shareholder of the Liu Group.

But Liu Fu was the one who did almost all the running around.

“Meng Chuan, you can’t just have your father-in-law on your mind! Don’t you see how hard I’ve been working? I’ve lost three pounds.”

Liu Dong, standing to the side, feigned dissatisfaction and said...

Liu Dong actually harbored some resentment towards Meng Chuan.

He had originally hoped that Meng Chuan's scandal would become a big deal so that he could take the opportunity to slack off.

But "happy" days are always short-lived.

During Meng Chuan's live stream, all the hot topics focused on criticizing Wang Ling.

Nobody pays attention to him anymore.

So, it was only natural that he was summoned to Shanghai by Liu Fu with a single phone call.

During this period of time, Liu Dong was busy helping his father with various tasks, and he was constantly complaining about how tough it was.

"With your 200-pound build, let alone 3 pounds, even 30 pounds is a normal fluctuation."

Liu Qian lightly flicked Liu Dong's forehead in annoyance.

"What? Two hundred pounds? I used to be 187 cm, now..."

Liu Dong protested loudly.

But before he could finish speaking, Liu Qian coldly said:

"Yes, my college entrance exam score was 187."

Liu Dong immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

This number is a lifelong disgrace to him, a pain that will forever remain in his heart.

"Alright, stop fooling around, take a seat and let's eat!"

Liu Fu tried to smooth things over, somewhat helplessly.

The siblings have a very good relationship, but they always bicker whenever they meet, though he's used to it.

“Uncle, you don’t need to worry too much. Today, Qian’er and I met with Old Master Chen from the Chen family in Shanghai and Mr. and Mrs. Shen An from the Shen family. If nothing unexpected happens, the listing of Liu Group should go smoothly.”

As Meng Chuan sat down, he offered words of comfort.

It's clear that Liu Fu was exhausted from the effort of getting the Liu Group listed on the stock exchange.

"What? They... came to our county? What happened? Tell me in detail."

Liu Fu was startled.

He's been active in Shanghai lately, and he's become increasingly aware of how terrifying the Chen and Shen families are.

Especially Mr. Chen, he's a legendary figure in the business world.

Without the Chen family, it would have been almost impossible for the Shen family's Shang'an Real Estate to rise so rapidly.

Before Meng Chuan could even speak, Liu Qian eagerly told Liu Fu everything that had happened that day.

"Actually, I think we should be forgiving when we can, and having more friends means having more options. I think even if we were given those 3 billion worth of shares, we shouldn't accept them, or at least not that much!"

After recounting what happened, Liu Qian shared her thoughts.

Kind-hearted as she is, she truly believes that one should not go too far in life.

"Sis, are you stupid? Why wouldn't you take something that's free?"

Liu Dong immediately protested loudly.

"What do you know? Eat your food."

Liu Qian glared at Liu Dong, annoyed.

"Sister, you don't know, you're too naive. Do you really think that old man Chen would willingly give up his shares to us?"

Liu Dong retorted indignantly:

"You have no idea how serious the situation is regarding the Chen family online this time. If it can't be clarified as soon as possible, the Chen family's market value will evaporate by at least tens of billions."

As Liu Dong spoke, he paused to think for a moment, as if talking to himself:

"However, given the Chen family's deep roots in Shanghai, a complete collapse is unlikely, but some serious damage is inevitable."

"Using 3 billion to recover losses of tens of billions. Heh heh... This old man Chen has some skills; he knows how to cut his losses and stop the bleeding in time."

After Liu Dong finished speaking, he realized that Meng Chuan, Liu Fu, and Liu Qian were all looking at him with surprise.

"Did I...did I say something wrong?"
