Qing Tian

Chapter 197 Where There Are People, There Is the Martial World

No one had expected that Yaohui Decoration would appear in the public eye in such a manner!

Qin Chuan hadn't expected it either!

When he registered Yaohui Decoration Company that day, he truly just wanted to develop honestly, build his team step by step, and make a little fortune with his workers.

Only a fool would have known that one day he would use a decoration company to deter villains and simultaneously as a tool for amassing wealth. One could only say that life is unpredictable, and plans cannot keep up with changes!

That afternoon, after the meeting, Zheng Chengdao, Yao Dong, and Bai Xiaoguang left first.

Qin Chuan kept Chen Jinyu behind and had a private conversation with him.

At the same time, he informed Chen Jinyu about his trip back to the village to recruit decoration personnel. Those workers would arrive in batches over the next couple of days.

He told Chen Jinyu to temporarily ignore the supermarket matters, as Chen Zhibin was handling it. He should focus solely on accommodating the workers who were pledging their allegiance.

"Boss, you wouldn't have planned all this back when the Guo family had their incident, would you?"

Hearing that Qin Chuan had even helped recruit workers for him, Chen Jinyu's expression turned extremely peculiar.

"Otherwise, this is just too much of a coincidence!"

"Just after mentioning Yaohui Decoration, the workers are already fully prepared, everything ready for them to get their permits and start working!"

Qin Chuan repeatedly waved his hands, "No! Absolutely not!"

"All of this can only be attributed to a chance encounter!"

Chen Jinyu's face darkened, "Who would believe you!"

"I'm leaving!"

Chen Jinyu departed, leaving only Qin Chuan, Li Ya, Qin Yang, and Qin Gang's family in the lounge.

"Xiao Chuan, by suddenly making money in such a domineering way, will people really accept it?"

Qin Yang finally couldn't help but speak.

While Qin Chuan was talking with Chen Jinyu, Qin Yang had finally understood what Qin Chuan had meant by his earlier words.

That is, anyone doing business in the hotel industry must choose Yaohui Decoration; otherwise, it would be an act of defiance against Qin Chuan.

It's important to know that the Guo family almost monopolized two-thirds of the hotel business in the county town, with over a dozen large and small hotels under their name, which was the Guo family's most significant source of income.

In this era, what kind of hotel business was truly legitimate? Everyone would engage in some illicit activities; otherwise, the profits would be too meager.

And now, Qin Chuan was demanding that all newly opened hotels must choose his Yaohui Decoration.

While it was said to be for decoration, that was merely the superficial reason!

Smart people would understand that it was all a smokescreen. What Qin Chuan wanted was tribute, equivalent to what people commonly called protection fees.

This way, even if Qin Chuan no longer operated the hotel business, he could still make money.

Given Qin Chuan's nature, he wouldn't stand by and watch the market vacated after he brought down the Guo family to be divided up by others. Was there such a thing as a free lunch in this world!

If engaging in the flesh trade wasn't illegal, Qin Chuan would have genuinely wanted to do it himself. It was truly a lucrative business, incredibly profitable!

"No one is forcing them. If they're willing, they can come. If not, then so be it! What does it have to do with me!"

Qin Chuan said indifferently.

"We are merely helping them decorate their hotels, at most!"

Looking at Qin Chuan's nonchalant demeanor, the three people in the lounge had varied expressions.

Li Ya, once again, witnessed Qin Chuan's ruthless side in the business world, and this time, it was coupled with an added trait—dominance!

Even though she had known for a long time that Qin Chuan was not a soft-hearted person!

He was unparalleled when it came to his family, but towards his enemies, he was a nightmare!

Li Ya was fortunate that she was not Qin Chuan's enemy.

As for Qin Yang and Qin Gang, they were astonished that business could be conducted in such a way. Qin Chuan's series of operations had truly opened the eyes of his older brothers, leaving them feeling ashamed.

The consequence of this action was that even if these hotel operators broke the law in the future, it would have nothing to do with Qin Chuan. He was solely responsible for the decoration.

The only exception was likely the price of these decorations, which would probably be extraordinary...

As evening approached, Qin Chuan drove his parents and eldest brother and his wife back to their respective new homes. He and Li Ya sat for a while before returning to their own small nest.

Unknowingly, a night passed just like that!

The next day, it rained, a continuous drizzle.

Qin Chuan and Li Ya acted as if nothing had happened, with him going to the factory and her to the construction site, a picture of tranquility.

However, beneath their peaceful lives, the underworld of the county town was already in an uproar.

The reason for all this was a piece of news that suddenly spread like wildfire early in the morning.

It was that a company called Yaohui Decoration had emerged like a dark horse!

And it had publicly declared that any future hotel businesses would need to cooperate with them for decoration services.

The appearance of this news caused the already turbulent county town to churn even more violently.

The sudden downfall of the Guo family, one of the wealthiest families in the county, had secretly pleased many. They were all rubbing their hands, eager to snatch a piece of the pie, as the market vacated by the Guo family's collapse was vast.

Unexpectedly, before they could make any moves, such astonishing news emerged.

Many immediately began inquiring about the identity of the powerful figure behind Yaohui Decoration, who dared to speak with such arrogance.

Soon, the legal representative behind Yaohui Decoration was identified as someone named Qin Yang!

Who was this Qin Yang?!

Various factions were bewildered; they had never heard this name before.

If it were someone named Qin Chuan, then they would know him!

He was a rising star in the county town, very capable at a young age, involved in real estate, managing supermarkets, and had a mysterious relationship with the beautiful owner of Butterfly Clothing Factory, with whom he had opened a flagship store.

Each of his ventures had been a grand undertaking, astonishing many.

Within approximately half a year, he had risen like a comet, and now he could be considered a representative of the well-known young figures in the county.

There were even rumors that the sudden incident with the Guo family was orchestrated by this young boss named Qin Chuan, due to some feud between the Guo family and Qin Chuan.

But Qin Chuan was Qin Chuan, and Qin Yang was Qin Yang. A difference of one character could mean a vast gulf.

There were many people named Qin in this world, and names could be repeated.

However, various forces became cautious, starting to investigate whether Qin Yang and Qin Chuan had any relationship.

Concurrently, some people quietly began investigating the true reason behind the Guo family's sudden downfall.

Through the diligent investigation of some interested parties, the results became clear after a few days!

Qin Yang was indeed on extremely good terms with Qin Chuan; he was Qin Chuan's eldest brother!

And there was another, Qin Gang, who was Qin Chuan's second elder brother!

Qin Chuan was only the third oldest in the Qin family!

Not only were the relationships of the three Qin brothers exposed, but the reason for the Guo family's sudden downfall was also uncovered.

It truly was Qin Chuan's doing!

Upon seeing the results laid out on the table, the many factions that had been stirring with ambition froze like ice sculptures, motionless...
