Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Meeting Tulls
 

Liu Qiangxi thought for a moment and said, “I think we should let him come in. I want to see what he has to say after seeing me, but one thing is certain, I won’t agree to giving him the agency.”

Wang Xiaocong laughed and said, “Director Liu, it seems like you just want to regain some ground, right?”

Liu Qiangxi didn’t deny it: “You’re right. I do want to regain some ground. I hold the power now, and I want to see how he will lower his head in front of me. Even though I can’t frame him, refusing him and making him feel uncomfortable is still something I can do.”

Wang Xiaocong said, “No matter what, I support you.”

Xu Yang said, “I naturally support you too.”

Ma Huateng didn’t speak.

He wasn’t as young as Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, and he was more rational, considering interests more.

Liu Qiangxi looked at Ma Huateng, “Old Ma, you don’t support me?”

Ma Huateng gave a wry smile and said, “Old Liu, by all accounts, I should support you. But do you think it’s necessary? What if you refuse him to his face? Could that lead to other issues?”

Liu Qiangxi frowned, “You’re making sense, too.”

Wang Xiaocong said, “Director Ma, I don’t think we need to overthink this. If Director Liu wants to do it, then let’s just do it. I really don’t believe that Tulls would dare to stir up any trouble. It’s true that the Brook Family is one of the Four Great Families of Nu City, but if the four of us band together, even in the Beautiful Country, we have considerable influence as long as we’re willing to spend money.”

His point was very clear: they shouldn’t be cowardly.

Refusing Tulls to his face was really nothing to worry about.

Xu Yang agreed with Wang Xiaocong’s point, “Director Ma, I think Wang Xiaocong is right. Even in the Beautiful Country, we shouldn’t be hesitant. The Beautiful Country is the paradise of capital. As long as the four of us are willing to invest, we can mobilize a lot of resources. Moreover, Director Liu very much wants to do this, so we can’t make him feel distressed.”

Ma Huateng looked at Liu Qiangxi, thought for a moment, then nodded, “You both are right. I’ve thought about it too much. Old Liu, do whatever you want to do. I also support you.”

A smile appeared on Liu Qiangxi’s face: “Good.”

If Ma Huateng hadn’t said that, it would have been difficult for him to proceed.

After all, they were going to venture into the Beautiful Country in the future.

Now that Ma Huateng supported him, he had no more concerns.

So, he said to the staff, “Go bring him in.”

“Sure thing.” The staff member left.

Soon, they brought the person in.

After that, they left.

The staff member knew that what was coming next was not something he could be a part of.

He had heard the conversation between Xu Yang and the others just now.

This kind of matter was not for him to meddle in.

One small mistake could cost him his job.

“Director Liu, we meet again.”

Tulls wore a big smile, found a chair to sit in without asking, and made himself comfortable.

His two bodyguards stood behind him.

He spoke in Chinese, and quite fluently at that, even better than many Harbor City celebrities.

“Yes, we meet again.” Liu Qiangxi also showed a smile, “Thinking about what you did to me, it feels like it happened just yesterday.”

“Director Liu, hasn’t that matter passed? Why bring up that stuff again?” Tulls’s smile remained undiminished.

“It may be in the past for you, but it hasn’t passed for me,” Liu Qiangxi said leisurely.

“So what do you want to do? Isn’t an apology from me enough?” Tulls’s gaze flickered.

If he could secure the total agency rights for the artificial intelligence companion, he was bound to make a lot of money.

To make money, apologizing to Liu Qiangxi was nothing.

It was just an apology after all; it wouldn’t cost him any flesh, blood, or a single penny.

“Heh, our issues can’t just be buried with an apology,” Liu Qiangxi chuckled coldly.

“Then what do you want?” Tulls frowned and asked.

“I don’t want anything in particular, I’m just keeping what you did to me in mind,” Liu Qiangxi responded indifferently, “Anyway, let’s not talk about that. What are you here for?”

Tulls breathed a sigh of relief, “Aren’t you going to introduce your companion? Our upcoming discussion involves their interests too.”

“Sure,” Liu Qiangxi said with a smile, beginning the introductions, “This gentleman is one of China’s internet giants, the chairman of Penguin Group, Mr. Ma.”

Tulls immediately said, “So it’s Mr. Ma, I’ve long admired your name. I’ve been to China several times, and the launch of your WeChat, it’s really powerful. For communication, food, shelter, and transportation, everything can be done on WeChat. In our beautiful country, such an app would never come into existence.”

Ma Huateng smiled faintly, “You flatter me.”

Liu Qiangxi continued, “This is the son of China’s wealthiest man, Wang Xiaocong.”

Tulls laughed, “So it’s Young Master Wang. Your name is indeed familiar to me, like thunder piercing the ear. Your famous saying, ‘I don’t care whether my friends are rich or not, as they’ll never be as wealthy as me’ has earned my utmost admiration.”

Wang Xiaocong grinned, “If you admire it, you can follow suit. I don’t mind having imitators.”

Tulls also chuckled, “I would like to follow suit, but I can’t. Although my family is one of the Four Great Families of Nu City, my position as the heir of the Brook Family in the beautiful country can’t compare to yours in China. There are many young people richer than me.”

Liu Qiangxi introduced another, “This is Xu Yang, one of China’s newly minted billionaires.”

Tulls said, “Mr. Xu, I’ve long admired your name. Your Jianghuai Restaurant Empire has truly innovated the dining industry. I am extremely impressed, and your other investments have given me a whole new appreciation for investing geniuses. In front of you, all of the younger generation must bow down.”

These words couldn’t be more eloquently spoken.

Surely a scion of a great family.

In fact, he had thoroughly investigated each of them before coming.

Knowing their backgrounds made it easy for him to talk effortlessly.

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, “You also know about my Jianghuai?”

Tulls nodded, “Yes, I visited China earlier this year. I really like Chinese hot pot, and a friend in China recommended Jianghuai to me. Not only was the taste exceptional, but the service was unparalleled. I truly admire you.”

Xu Yang chuckled, “Heh, you’re too kind. I’ve heard about you from Mr. Liu; your actions have earned my admiration—meeting someone who has outsmarted Mr. Liu is a first for me.”

When Xu Yang brought that up again, Tulls felt uncomfortable, but he still smiled, “Mr. Xu, I had some unpleasantness with Mr. Liu in the past, but that’s all gone. I haven’t taken any of it to heart.”

Liu Qiangxi spoke up coldly, “Of course, you haven’t taken it to heart. You’re not the victim.”

Tulls’s gaze shifted to Liu Qiangxi, “Mr. Liu, the incident is in the past. Why do you keep dwelling on it?”

Liu Qiangxi scoffed, “Tulls, didn’t you hear what I just said? You’re not the victim, of course you can let go, can bury this incident, but if you were me, could you say it’s in the past?”

Tulls lied through his teeth, “Yes, why not? It’s been so long, if it were me, I would act as if it never happened.”

Liu Qiangxi snorted derisively, “You’ve given me yet another glimpse of your shamelessness.”

Tulls kept his composure and switched topics, “Mr. Liu, let’s get down to business, shall we?”
