Ye Meiyun confided all her current difficulties and predicaments to Qin Chuan, and sincerely asked for his help.
Could Qin Chuan leave at this moment?
The answer was naturally no!
Unless one had a heart of stone, and the relationship between the two parties was far from reaching that level, could they leave ruthlessly.
Qin Chuan was clearly not that kind of person. He could be ruthless and retaliate fiercely against enemies in the business world, but he absolutely could not do such a thing to those who were good to him.
Moreover, the friendship between him and Ye Meiyun was complex. It wasn't just a debt of gratitude for saving a life. They were also partners now, and he had a thirty percent stake in the electronic locker project!
For both emotional and public reasons, Qin Chuan could not leave.
Watching Ye Meiyun's graceful figure enter the office building, Qin Chuan gave a wry smile and took out his phone to start making calls.
The first person he called was his brother-in-law. Upon hearing that Qin Chuan would not only not be back today, but might not be back for several days, Yang Conglong became anxious.
He knew that the futures account held his and Qin Chuan's life savings. If his poor trading caused problems, it would be a disaster.
Yang Conglong anxiously inquired what had happened that Qin Chuan was too busy to even attend to the futures market.
Qin Chuan didn't know how to explain to his brother-in-law, so he could only say that there was a major problem with his business partner, and he couldn't return for the time being.
However, Qin Chuan also comforted his brother-in-law, telling him not to be nervous and to stick to the established trading strategy. Regardless of the daily fluctuations of the Hang Seng Index, the overall trend by the end of the month was upward.
If it fell by 0.3 percent, he should buy in five million. If it didn't fall, he should do nothing. This might result in less profit, but it was stable.
Furthermore, if he had time in Shicheng City, he would also find time to go to places where futures trading occurred to check the market dynamics.
Yang Conglong complained a lot after hearing Qin Chuan's words, but there was nothing he could do given the situation. He just asked Qin Chuan to return as soon as he finished his business.
He was really unsure playing futures alone, especially with a ten-fold leverage.
After ending the call with his brother-in-law, Qin Chuan called home to inquire about recent events.
Chen Jinyu, who was in charge of the renovation, informed him that the facade of the building damaged by the fire had been restored, and the office of Yaohui Decoration Company was nearing completion.
"Boss, I need to tell you something!"
Chen Jinyu suddenly lowered his voice: "When I was working yesterday, I overheard the workers saying that Han Shifei was suddenly recruiting a large number of people, all of whom were skilled in construction and renovation."
"What does that mean? Is Han Shifei getting into real estate too?"
Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback by this news.
"It seems so, and..."
Chen Jinyu's tone became hesitant at this point.
"Just say whatever you need to say. There's no need to be like this between us."
Qin Chuan said.
"Then, Boss, I'll just say it. You need to be mentally prepared!"
Chen Jinyu took a deep breath and slowly said, "A brother working under me told me that he saw Liu Long interacting with Han Shifei's side."
"Liu Long?"
Qin Chuan fell silent for a moment. After a while, Chen Jinyu heard the sound of a lighter igniting a cigarette.
"Heh, that's normal!"
"It seems our construction site has been shut down for quite some time. Liu Long and his large group of people have to eat."
Qin Chuan said with a smile.
"Boss, aren't you angry?"
Chen Jinyu asked cautiously. Liu Long was their foreman, responsible for the construction of the entire building. Now, he might be poached by Han Shifei. How could their boss remain so calm?
"Angry? Why should I be angry?"
Qin Chuan said with a relaxed tone.
"They have so many people to feed. Since we have no work, they naturally have to find new business to support their families."
"However, as long as we have money, are we afraid we can't recruit professional construction teams?"
"Believe it or not, when I return, I'll bring a more professional and refined team back from the provincial capital!"
Chen Jinyu sighed. "Even though you say that, if Liu Long really does this, I look down on him!"
"You know, without us, his small team would never have achieved its current fame."
Qin Chuan's real estate business in Yongnan County was booming, known throughout the entire county. This also led to the fame of Liu Long's construction team, making them well-known. If it weren't for Qin Chuan's Yaoshi Real Estate, Liu Long's small team would not be where they are today.
Most likely, they would still be in a remote village, building small houses and living a poor life.
"Jinyu, we are people who are going to do great things. Why bother with such trivial matters!"
"If the sky wants to rain, and a mother wants to get married, whether to stay or go, others have their own opinions. We just need to be calm."
Unlike Chen Jinyu's anger, Qin Chuan appeared very calm after the initial silence.
"Boss, I understand!"
Chen Jinyu felt he had learned a lesson. Although he was around the same age as Qin Chuan, with more and more contact, he knew that his young boss far surpassed him in both ability and temperament.
Following such a young boss, his future was very promising. As long as Qin Chuan didn't encounter any natural or man-made disasters, he would definitely have a bright future.
Not long after hanging up with Chen Jinyu, Qin Chuan received a call from Zheng Chengdao. As expected of an 'intelligence expert', his news was very well-informed.
Qin Chuan told Zheng Chengdao the same thing he had told Chen Jinyu and instructed Zheng Chengdao to strictly control his subordinates. If Liu Long's men really wanted to leave, then let them go, and avoid any conflict.
Liu Long's small team could be said to be just a ragtag bunch, not professional at all. In terms of vision and professionalism, they were far behind real engineering teams.
In the past, it was because there was no money, so they had to cooperate. Now that they wanted to leave, let them leave. It was best to part on good terms, and it was no big deal.
"Boss, I understand!"
Zheng Chengdao hung up after receiving the order. Qin Chuan, feeling uneasy, thought about it and then specifically called his short-tempered second brother, Bai Xiaoguang, and sternly restrained them.
Just as Qin Chuan had instructed everyone below, he predictably received a call from Liu Long.
Seeing Liu Long's name on the caller ID, Qin Chuan smiled slightly and pressed the answer button.
When the call was connected, Liu Long was as enthusiastic as ever and even inquired about Qin Chuan's current whereabouts.
Qin Chuan casually found an excuse to fend him off.
"Boss Qin, our construction site has been shut down for so long, when will the second phase start?"
After some pleasantries, Liu Long finally got to the point.
"Foreman Liu, your question is very timely!"
Qin Chuan said happily, "Our project has been shut down for so long, and it's time to continue with the second phase of construction."
"Ah?"
On the other end of the line, Liu Long seemed completely surprised to receive such an answer, and was stunned.
"What ah? I was just about to inform you. Starting today, recall your brothers, and let's begin the second phase of construction."
Qin Chuan said with a smile.
"No... Boss, why so sudden!"
Liu Long appeared very surprised.
"Foreman Liu, you seem a bit off today. Is there something wrong with starting the second phase? This is a win-win situation for us."
Qin Chuan's tone became cold.
Sensing Qin Chuan's displeasure, Liu Long quickly apologized, his throat dry. "It's not like that, Boss Qin, it's just... it's just that it seems we still have outstanding payments..."
"Are you talking about the 25,000 yuan my company still owes your construction team?"
Qin Chuan's tone grew colder. "Do you think I, Qin Chuan, would not repay a mere 25,000 yuan?"
Feeling Qin Chuan's increasingly cold voice, Liu Long felt immense psychological pressure.
As the general foreman of Yaoshi Real Estate, how could he not know Qin Chuan's current reputation? He was someone who dared to confront Han Shifei.
How could a small foreman like him dare to provoke such a formidable figure?
However, Han Shifei had offered him an incredibly tempting condition. Under the immense profit, Liu Long had decided to defect.
After all, money was the most important thing in this world.
"Boss Qin, I'll tell you the truth. I... my team and I have found a more profitable boss..."
Liu Long threw caution to the wind and shouted loudly, steeling himself.
