110: Chapter 110 Liu Yi's Warning

Following that was a somewhat robust man.

"This is Luo Bing. This guy's family really owns mines; he's from Anning Mining."

Seeing Yu Chen teasing him, Luo Bing quickly begged for mercy:

"Brother Chen, having mines at home used to be pretty awesome, but now saying someone has mines at home is an insult. I'm not some nouveau riche; I graduated with a master's degree from Shanghai University."

Yu Chen laughed and patted Luo Bing on the shoulder:

"Hahaha, my family wishes we had them, but we don't."

Su Ye also smiled and greeted him:

"Brother Bing."

Afterward, a tall, thin, and somewhat delicate-looking man with an air of scholarship was pulled out by Chen Ze:

"This is Liu Yong. His family is in the furniture business."

Su Ye greeted him:

"Brother Yong."

Then, the two of them introduced several other people to Su Ye; they were all heirs to families with assets around ten billion.

Afterward, the two exchanged a glance and stood up for Su Ye:

"This little brother is named Su Ye. Currently, his family is involved in supermarkets, logistics, and technology. In the future, please take care of him for my and Ze's sake. He's a really great brother."

Chen Ze added with a smile:

"Everyone, if you run into my little brother out there, you have to show me some respect. He is my own brother."

Everyone present carefully sized up Su Ye, secretly speculating about his background, wondering why Yu Chen and Chen Ze valued him so highly.

Then, they spoke up one after another:

"Brother Chen, Brother Ze, don't worry. From now on, Brother Su is my brother; we are all our own people."

"Don't worry, you two brothers. If Brother Su needs anything in the future, just say the word. If we can help, we definitely will."

Before, they didn't know Su Ye's background, so they naturally wouldn't address him casually. Now that they knew how much Chen Ze and Yu Chen valued him, they naturally addressed him as a brother.

The two were quite pleased to hear everyone's agreement. Although if it came to major interests, no one would talk about feelings, for small matters or minor conflicts outside, they would surely yield a little. That was enough. They knew their own influence wasn't that great, let alone Su Ye's. As the saying goes, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents.

There is also a Western saying:

"With 20% profit, it becomes active; with 50% profit, it takes risks; for 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; with 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking the gallows."

Compared to the pleasantries here, the group of seven or eight people on the other side took a curious glance and then ignored them.

A young man dressed in a minimalist style with rimless glasses curiously asked a young man dressed in workwear who looked quite tender:

"Brother Liu, who are the three people who just arrived? Why did Deng Hua and those guys all surround them?"

Liu Yi let go of the yogurt straw in his mouth, took a glance, and said:

"It's just Yu Chen and Chen Ze. Yu Chen is the leader of their circle; he's the one managing the Yu Group right now."

Qin Qitian gasped. The Yu Group! A behemoth compared to his own family. The most critical part wasn't the money; the most critical part was that the Yu Group had an excellent relationship with the authorities. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were the authorities' agents in the Sichuan Province business world.

"What about that Chen Ze?"

Liu Yi laughed disdainfully:

"The Chaoyang Group belongs to his family; they have about half the shares. He used to follow Yu Chen around. I heard he got lucky yesterday and took over completely; now he's the one calling the shots at the Chaoyang Group."

Qin Qitian clicked his tongue secretly. Although the Chaoyang Group was a step below the Yu Group, it was still not something his family could provoke right now.

Liu Yi turned his head to look at Su Ye carefully again, then said with some interest:

"Hey, I don't recognize the last one. I don't know whose family he's from; he probably isn't from our Sichuan Province."

Liu Yi didn't say this without reason. After all, at his current level, he knew everyone in Sichuan Province who had a bit of family wealth and could enter the circle. Of course, that referred to those whose family assets were around ten billion and who had some influence.

As for why he knew Qin Qitian, who was next to him, it was because his father had done Liu Yi's family a favor a while ago. During a meal, he asked Liu Yi to help bring him along to learn, so Liu Yi let him into the circle. Otherwise, the Qin Family wouldn't be qualified.

Watching Su Ye surrounded by everyone, Qin Qitian felt a bit jealous. After all, they were both newcomers. He was desperately trying to curry favor, yet people in the circle ignored him. Meanwhile, Su Ye was welcomed by everyone the moment he arrived. This contrast made Qin Qitian, who had always considered himself extraordinary, feel a deep sense of disparity.

Although he hadn't been in this circle for long and hadn't attended many gatherings—Qin Qitian was just a nobody—he still knew that Liu Yi's circle and Yu Chen's circle were at odds. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Brother Yi, should we give that newcomer over there a little trouble later? As long as he dares to bid, I'll drive up the price. Everything will be on me."

Liu Yi stared deeply at Qin Qitian, then finally put down his leg that was propped up on the table.

"Qin Qitian, it's only because your family helped mine before that I'm letting you hang out with us. But that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want, or use our name to do things. Do you understand?"

Feeling Liu Yi's death stare, Qin Qitian instantly broke out in a cold sweat. If he really offended Liu Yi—even though Liu Yi didn't hold power yet—if he wanted to, he could still cause their family to suffer heavy losses.

"Brother Yi, I understand, I understand. I just wanted to do something."

Liu Yi propped his leg back up and curled his lip in disdain. He looked down on Qin Qitian's family; they were too dirty. He also looked down on Qin Qitian himself; he was also too dirty. But then, thinking about what his father had instructed him—to use the Qin Family's dirty hands to do something—he still explained:

"If you want something later, just bid normally. I won't interfere no matter what. But if you are doing it specifically to target them, then I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave my circle. Yu Chen and I just have different philosophies; we don't have any grudges, and I don't want any. Isn't healthy business competition good enough? Why resort to these low-class tactics?"

"In the end, if things get out of hand and the two families go to war, or even the two circles go to war, who benefits? Who will the authorities let off? The authorities want a society with economic prosperity and stability, and they want stable people, not people who can turn the Sichuan Province financial sector into the Middle East at any moment."

"Understand?"

Qin Qitian lowered his head and said repeatedly:

"I know, Brother Yi. I was confused just now. It won't happen again."

Liu Yi felt he had done all he could. He had said what needed to be said. As for what Qin Qitian would do or what he would do, that was none of his business, nor was it the business of his circle.

If something really happened, Liu Yi would be the first to push Qin Qitian out.
