Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"Brother Meng, Miss Liu, come in, please come inside."

Lin Xuan stood at the door of a private room in a luxury hotel in the county.

With a fawning smile plastered on her face, she bowed and scraped as she greeted Meng Chuan and Liu Qian.

He kept apologizing on the phone and then warmly invited the two of them to come over for a meal.

Meng Chuan accepted the invitation, of course.

Anyway, it's already dinner time.

Moreover, Meng Chuan's actions today weren't just about standing up for Liu Qian.

Next comes the negotiation. If the negotiation goes well, this matter will be over.

If the negotiations fail, then tomorrow's opening bell will be a real battleground, a time to witness life and death.

Meng Chuan remained expressionless, as if he hadn't even seen Lin Xuan bowing and scraping, and strode into the private room.

Liu Qian followed closely behind.

Lin Xuan, who was lagging behind, froze instantly with a smile on his face. He was furious inside!

This Meng Chuan, isn't he just relying on the Liu family's power? How dare he ignore me like this!

Lin Xuan felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. When had he, the dignified Young Master Lin, ever been so humble and subservient?

Meng Chuan is really taking advantage of my kindness!

The thought that she had just called him "Brother Meng" against her will made her feel as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

Why does this kid call him brother?

Even if they felt a thousand times unwilling and ten thousand times unhappy, they could only endure it at this moment.

"Come, come, I was really out of my mind at noon today. I had a few too many drinks and offended you two. Consider this dinner tonight my apology. Please forgive my recklessness and ignorance."

After everyone was seated, Lin Xuan forced a smile and tried his best to adopt a humble attitude.

But the hatred he felt for Meng Chuan continued to rise like a surging tide.

Meng Chuan sat down casually, not even glancing at Lin Xuan.

He casually picked up his chopsticks and started poking at the food on his plate, muttering to himself:

"If you called us here tonight just to spout this nonsense, then you might as well get lost and not keep me and Teacher Liu from having dinner."

Things have escalated to this point, and Meng Chuan has already lost a total of 500 million yuan.

How can a few perfunctory apologies be enough to settle things?

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan almost lost his temper.

He's treating us today, so what do you mean by "don't disturb me and Teacher Liu while we're having dinner"?

When had he, the dignified young master of the Lin family, ever suffered such humiliation?

"Meng Chuan, don't go too far! I've already humbled myself so much, what more do you want?"

Meng Chuan looked at Lin Xuan with disdain:

"Oh, you can't take it anymore? Where's that arrogant attitude you had at noon? With your meager abilities, what was your dad thinking? Why would he let a good-for-nothing like you come out and negotiate with me?"

"you……"

Lin Xuan was so angry that he trembled all over, his hands clenched into fists.

"Meng Chuan, don't think I'm really afraid of you. I'm only being polite to you because of Liu Qian. Negotiate with you? You're not worthy!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Qian, his tone immediately softening:

"Qian'er, I know I was wrong..."

"Please call me by my full name. We're not that close. Also, I can't make the decision on this. If you have something to say, talk to Meng Chuan."

Liu Qian interrupted without hesitation.

Liu Qian didn't even glance at him.

Liu Qian felt disgusted just thinking about what Lin Xuan had done.

"I'm not going to talk to him. He's not qualified!"

Meng Chuan stuffed food into his mouth while shouting nonchalantly.

Meng Chuan finally saw through Lin Xuan; he was just a spoiled brat, and talking to him was like casting pearls before swine.

"Enough! Meng Chuan, don't push me too far!"

Lin Xuan roared, his voice echoing in the private room.

Meng Chuan, however, acted as if nothing had happened, leisurely picking up a cup of tea and taking a small sip.

"Oh, you're getting impatient already? Then let's not continue this negotiation. Teacher Liu, come on, I'll take you to eat hot pot. Staying here is bad luck."

As he spoke, Meng Chuan stood up and made a move to pull Liu Qian away.

Lin Xuan was completely panicked.

His father had given him a death order: if he couldn't get the Liu family's forgiveness, the Lin Group would be completely finished.

As for Meng Chuan, he didn't take him seriously at all, but he valued Liu Qian's attitude very much!

"Meng Chuan, what exactly do you want from the Lin family?"

Lin Xuan's voice changed from anxiety.

"I told you, you're not qualified to talk to me."

Meng Chuan didn't turn his head or stop walking.

"Fine, I'm not qualified. I'll have my dad talk to you, okay?"

Lin Xuan quickly stopped them, frantically pulled out his phone, and dialed his father Lin Zhongyue's number.

Not long after, Lin Zhongyue arrived in a flurry of activity.

As soon as he entered the private room, he saw his son with an angry face and Meng Chuan with a calm expression, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Mr. Meng, Ms. Liu, my son is ignorant and I hope you will forgive him."

He suppressed his displeasure and tried his best to make his tone sound calm.

Meng Chuan put down his teacup and stared directly at Lin Zhongyue:

"Mr. Lin, I don't like beating around the bush. Since you're here, I'll be frank with you."

“Your son offended me and even threatened to kill me. I’m not a very magnanimous person, and I’m quite timid.”

"So, before he kills me, I definitely have to kill him first."

"I've lost five hundred million today because of this. This isn't something you can resolve with a simple 'please forgive me'!"

Lin Zhongyue was taken aback by his blunt words.

Having spent my entire life navigating the business world, I've never seen such a straightforward negotiation.

What's even more infuriating is that this bastard actually said he would kill his son right in front of him. That's incredibly disrespectful!

Would it kill you to be a little more tactful?

"You beast, it's all my fault for being too lenient with you. Go and apologize to Mr. Meng!"

Lin Zhongyue is not a hothead like Lin Xuan.

He gritted his teeth and unleashed a torrent of angry curses at Lin Xuan.

He knew in his heart that he had to take a stand now, otherwise this matter would not be able to be resolved.

"Mr. Meng, I'm sorry."

Lin Xuan was reluctant, but since his father had spoken, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bow to Meng Chuan.

However, Meng Chuan acted as if he hadn't heard, picked up his teacup again, and began to savor the tea.

Meng Chuan sipped his tea as if he hadn't heard Lin Xuan's apology at all, and the atmosphere in the private room instantly froze.

Liu Qian felt a little flustered, and she quietly tugged at Meng Chuan's sleeve.

After all, Lin Zhongyue was a shrewd old fox in the business world, on par with her father Liu Fu, so she dared not be too presumptuous.

But Meng Chuan ignored him completely and continued to do as he pleased.

"Kneel down and apologize!"

Lin Zhongyue was now burning with rage.

Who is he? In this county town, even the leaders from the provincial capital have to treat him with utmost respect.

Now that he has personally intervened, how dare this kid still put on airs?

But for the sake of the Lin Group, he had to endure it once again.

"dad……"

Lin Xuan looked miserable, feeling extremely unwilling.

Make him kneel before Meng Chuan? That's worse than killing him. What right does an eighteen-year-old poor student have?

"Your Majesty!"

Lin Zhongyue's face was terribly gloomy, and his voice carried an undeniable authority.

"Meng Chuan, I'm sorry."

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and knelt down in humiliation, his eyes filled with a desire to bore a hole through Meng Chuan.

"Mr. Lin, if kneeling were effective, what would be the point of having the police? Besides, I don't think his kneeling is worth 500 million."
