Chapter 401 Do I Look Stupid?

For the Su Family right now, filing a lawsuit would bring absolutely no benefits.

With so many people involved, could they even sue them all?

Even if it is malicious business competition, what can you do about it? Things have developed to this point; it's a battle of financial resources now! The Su Family can completely retaliate in an equal manner, attacking each other's strongholds to see who is tougher!

But does the Su Family have that much money? And where did the Sun Family get their funding?

Zheng Qian lit a cigarette, looked at these messages, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

The opportunity to make money has arrived.

At 6 PM, the Su Family sent someone to the hotel to pick up Zheng Qian.

Although he had interacted with the Su Family many times, this was his first time actually visiting their home. Zheng Qian didn't bring anyone else; only Duan Qiran accompanied him.

The Su Family residence was very grand, not far from the Grand Canal, and also not far from the Subei Museum.

The rules were strict, and it stood towering and majestic.

"This Su Family is truly arrogant."

As soon as they got out of the car, Duan Qiran couldn't help but whisper.

"What makes you say that?" Zheng Qian didn't understand, so he just followed his gaze and discovered that Duan Qiran was looking at the architectural layout.

"The architectural style of the Su Family compound is practically modeled after imperial regulations. There are many people in our hometown who belong to the Xiangshan Guild; their architectural skills are extraordinary, so I saw a lot of it growing up."

"Take the largest building in the very back, for example. Its roof ridge is called a 'hip roof,' which is on the same level as the Forbidden City."

After he said this, Zheng Qian understood what was going on.

It wasn't that the building itself was so noble, but rather that its architectural standards were something only royalty had the right to enjoy.

If this were in ancient times, if a family dared to build such a roof ridge, they would likely be executed.

"Young Master Zheng, this way, please."

The old butler personally received Zheng Qian and led him into the depths of the Su Family compound.

This was actually a massive architectural complex, but what occupied the larger area was a beautifully designed garden. It seemed even more like Jiangnan than the Jiangnan he had visited before; he even started to like it here a little.

"About how much would it cost to build a garden like this?" Zheng Qian couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm... If we don't consider the land price, just the construction costs alone, it's not particularly outrageous; a few hundred million could do it." The old butler bowed slightly and answered very politely.

So his meaning was that compared to the construction costs, being able to secure this piece of land was what made the Su Family impressive.

After all, nowadays, as long as you have money, what kind of house can't you build? But where the house is located is what really matters.

While they were talking, Zheng Qian was led to the middle of the garden, to a pavilion surrounded by water.

Looking up, there were seven or eight people sitting in the pavilion. But the main seats were very obvious; there were only three people. They were the head of the Su Family, which is Su Yuanshuang's father, Chairman Su Yulou. Her brother, Su Zhengting, and Su Yuanshuang herself.

As for Young Master Su Zhenghe, he didn't seem to have the qualifications to sit here. It wasn't just because he was young, but more so because he lacked ability and had already been excluded from the circle of power; he was just a playboy.

Everyone's expression was quite intriguing.

If he guessed correctly, they should be the core senior management of Susheng Group.

"Young Master Zheng is truly young and promising. Seeing you today, you are indeed impressive. Please, sit!" Chairman Su Yulou nodded slightly and said with a smile.

Su Zhengting's gaze toward Zheng Qian was full of vigilance and hostility.

His status and position in the Su Family were actually that of the designated first-in-line heir. He currently served as the general manager of The Group, while Chairman Su Yulou had retired behind the scenes to serve as the chairman of the board, personally holding down the fort for his eldest son.

As for Su Yuanshuang, although her abilities were quite outstanding, if nothing unexpected happened, it was impossible for her to inherit The Group. At most, she would just be assisting her brother.

Now, with the arrival of Zheng Qian, not just the Su Family, but the entire situation in Subei had begun to undergo treacherous changes. With the struggle between the Su Family and the Sun Family as the starting point, many forces had already begun to move.

"Elder Su, I have long admired your name as well!" Courtesy demands reciprocity; Zheng Qian answered politely.

Chairman Su Yulou introduced them one by one. In these typical family businesses, those present were all connected by blood ties. The men were either surnamed Su, or they had married women surnamed Su.

"Chairman, today is our family meeting. Bringing an outsider like this over isn't very appropriate, is it?" The person speaking was named Su Bowen, Su Yuanshuang's second uncle, who had a certain level of influence in The Group.

Su Yuanshuang frowned slightly, but she didn't speak. The people present were all of high seniority, and sometimes she really could only remain silent.

"It doesn't matter; anyway, the things that needed to be discussed have already been discussed." Chairman Su Yulou waved his hand and then turned his gaze to Zheng Qian. "Young man, I heard you reached a cooperation agreement with Shangchen Group? You secured the agency rights for two types of liquor?"

"That's right. Does Chairman Su have any instructions?"

After just a few words, Zheng Qian understood what this setup was all about today.

It seems that wanting to take down the Su Family is not such a simple matter.

"Let me be blunt. Because of your involvement, Su Yuanshuang has currently been punished by our family."

"Although we and the Sun Family will inevitably have a battle, it is not at this time. She actually disregarded the current life and death of the family and directly let that rebellious son, Young Master Su Zhenghe, go and kidnap Sun Zhifeng. Do you know what this represents?"

Chairman Su Yulou's tone was very calm, but anyone could tell that he seemed very angry.

"Hmm, and so?"

Zheng Qian was a person who was famously known for yielding to soft tactics but resisting hard ones. If you speak to me nicely, I will definitely speak to you nicely as well. So when he first arrived, he was still considered polite; at the beginning, he even addressed Chairman Su Yulou as "Elder Su." But as the topic deepened, he felt the other party's targeted sentiment, so he changed his address to "Chairman Su." Now, he spoke directly, too lazy to beat around the bush.

"The matter started because of you; don't you even have a single apology? How lacking in upbringing!" Su Bowen slammed the table and coldly snorted, "What do you really think our Su Family is? I'm telling you, this time, if you don't give us an explanation, do you believe I can make your contract with Pei Moyan become a worthless piece of paper?"

Hearing this, Zheng Qian suddenly laughed.

He lit a cigarette and slowly said, "I really don't know how you bunch of good-for-nothings managed to build Susheng Group up. I have such important resources in my hands, yet instead of thinking about pulling me in, you have this attitude?"

"Oh, I know. You want to suppress me first, play the good cop, and then have Chairman Su Yulou play the bad cop, right?"

"At that time, you'll have me hand over the agency rights for those two types of liquor to you at an extremely low price, and then you'll say that for the sake of my face, you won't pursue Su Yuanshuang's issues, right?"

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"Or rather, do I look stupid?"
