As Liu An was planning another assassination to completely deal with a character they considered an ant, this small character was not idle either.
Although Liu An had not made any moves yet, Qin Chuan guessed that the other party probably already knew he had solved the production material problem. Someone in Yongnan County was definitely keeping an eye on Xinhua Electronics Factory's every move and reporting it at any time.
It was even possible that there were spies arranged by the other party within Xinhua Electronics Factory. With money, it was easy to find candidates willing to do such things.
However, finding that spy would be extremely difficult. Who knew which one it was? Qin Chuan currently didn't have the leisure to look for them.
His immediate task was to prevent trouble before it happened and prepare for all contingencies. This was his consistent approach to handling matters.
The following afternoon, Qin Chuan summoned all his capable elites and held a small meeting, informing everyone of the current situation.
Upon hearing that Liu An would surely resort to other means of retaliation, the expressions of Qin Yang, Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong on both sides of the sofa changed, and the atmosphere became oppressive.
"This damned old man. I say, when Brother Dao made his move last time, we should have just finished him off, once and for all!" Bai Xiaoguang said angrily.
"Wouldn't that be murder? Taking a life is a serious matter with a completely different nature. We are legitimate businessmen, we don't do such extreme things!" Qin Chuan directly raised his hand to stop such talk, even instructing everyone that such radical actions would be absolutely forbidden in the future.
Hurting someone and killing someone were two completely different concepts. This was his bottom line, and a red line he imposed on everyone, which must never be crossed.
"Boss, then what do you think Liu An, that old geezer, will resort to if he makes a move against us again?" Zheng Chengdao asked, cutting straight to the point.
Qin Chuan was silent for a long time before analyzing, "Economic blockade. That old geezer just did that, and it didn't have much effect."
"Among the companies we are currently cooperating with, only Taigang Group is a local enterprise. The others are from other provinces. I don't think Liu An has the influence to affect other provinces."
"In that case, they would have to pay a greater price..."
Qin Yang interjected, "So, if Liu An wants revenge, it's very likely he'll use the same method as last time, sending people directly?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed. If that were the case, wouldn't the boss be in great danger?
Under their gazes, Qin Chuan said with a grim expression, "This possibility is very high. Moreover, if Liu An decides to act again, the manpower will definitely be much stronger than last time."
"In the eyes of the Han family, I have always been like an ant. Someone like me, to step on, the Han family's power can easily erase the consequences." Qin Chuan said with a hint of self-mockery.
"Damn it! If that old geezer dares to send people again this time, I'll make sure they all have no return, break all three legs, and throw them into the river to feed the turtles!" As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, Yao Dong could no longer contain his rage, slammed the table, his dark face filled with ferocity.
In the eyes of these men, Qin Chuan was no longer just a boss, but a friend, an idol, and a belief. Anyone who dared to bully the boss was their enemy.
"Breaking three legs still feels light. Why not break all their limbs and cripple them completely, making them worse off than that old geezer!" Bai Xiaoguang said fiercely.
"From today onwards, I will release a message to all our brothers in the county to pay more attention to outsiders and be prepared in advance," Zheng Chengdao said calmly, ignoring the outburst of his two hot-headed brothers.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded.
"Also, from now on, boss, except for Qin Yang, the three of us brothers will take turns guarding you twenty-four hours a day until this feud is over."
"For convenience, boss, you and Manager Li Ya should move into the residential building here. There are so many empty rooms here. We won't eavesdrop on your activities at night!" Seemingly to ease the oppressive atmosphere, Zheng Chengdao, who rarely joked, made a humorous remark.
Instantly, it made everyone burst into laughter, each one roaring with laughter.
Qin Chuan's old face flushed, and he immediately retorted, "Damn it, who is making loud noises? You scoundrels, it's one thing to have fun outside, but many times you even bring girls to the residential building!"
"I've heard the shouting from your rooms many times. Aren't you afraid that in a few more years, you won't even have the energy to 'lift a gun' anymore!"
A group of grown men, playfully teasing each other in the room, making lewd jokes.
Suddenly, Qin Chuan looked at his elder brother, who was also grinning, "Brother, you haven't learned bad habits from these scoundrels, have you? Have you done anything to betray sister-in-law?"
Qin Yang, who was smiling, hurriedly waved his hands upon hearing his younger brother's question, "No! Absolutely not!"
"Brother Yang is definitely a once-in-a-million exceptional man. Several times we dragged him to play, and when we were at the door of the private room, and the beautiful women started undressing, Brother Yang ran away!" Not only Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong, but even Zheng Chengdao looked at Qin Yang with admiration.
It was the first time they had seen a man with such strong willpower.
"Awesome!" Qin Chuan also gave a thumbs up. Putting aside everything else, he himself couldn't achieve this.
As the saying goes, all crows are black. Men, like cats, can't resist temptation.
"Cough, cough, let's get back to the point. I have something to say." Qin Yang, unable to bear being ganged up on by everyone, quickly changed the subject.
Everyone stopped playing and turned their attention to Qin Yang's face.
"Xiao Chuan, it's like this, I think from tomorrow morning onwards, you should join our training too?" Qin Yang said to Qin Chuan, and everyone else's eyes lit up.
"Training? What training?" Qin Chuan was momentarily confused, his face blank.
"Boss, training, of course, is physical training!" Before Qin Yang could speak, Yao Dong quickly said, "Don't look at us, we indulge in all sorts of vices daily, but we train almost every day of the year. No one has let their skills lapse."
Speaking of this, Yao Dong showed a rare look of immense pride on his face. They made a living by their skills. Although they appeared dissolute on the surface, they rarely neglected physical training throughout the year, in spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
"Xiao Chuan, now that our business is growing bigger and bigger, and the opponents we encounter are getting stronger and stronger, I believe similar incidents to Liu An will definitely occur in the future." Qin Yang said earnestly.
"Although we are all protecting your safety, there is no absolute safety in this world. Only by being strong yourself is the most reliable!"
"So I want you to start training with us from tomorrow morning, and learn some self-defense skills."
Qin Chuan's eyes widened upon hearing this, "Big brother, I'm already this old. Isn't it too late to learn those things?" He hadn't never learned martial arts or combat. As mentioned earlier, when they were young, the three Qin brothers had all learned from an old hunter in the village. That old hunter was definitely a hidden master among the folk. Unfortunately, except for their elder brother Qin Yang, Qin Gang and Qin Chuan were both lively and active by nature, and couldn't endure that kind of hardship. As a result, none of them learned much, only a little superficial knowledge.
"Boss, if it were the traditional method, then your age would definitely be too late," Zheng Chengdao said.
"But I have a few quick-learning skills that guarantee you can learn them, and they are also quite lethal when encountering danger."
Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he began to be tempted, "Is there really such a good thing? Then let's start tomorrow!"
