Watching Qin Yu drive away, Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked at Master Mo who was sitting beside him drinking tea, "Mr. Mo, are you relieved?"

Master Mo nodded, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Jiang Yuan, I'm very grateful that you helped me out."

"but··"

"I heard that Qin Yuan is a very resourceful person. It only took him ten years from the time he founded Qinshi to develop Qinshi into one of the two largest jewelry companies in Binhai."

"Besides, I heard about something a few years ago."

Old Man Mo looked solemn, "I heard that Qin Yuan and Sun Dabiao had conflicts in business before. In the end, Sun Dabiao knelt on the ground and kowtowed, so Qin Yuan let him go."

"You know, at that time, Sun Dabiao's Jinfu Ceramics Factory was already the largest ceramics factory in Binhai."

Jiang Yuan frowned, "Don't worry, Master Mo. If Qin Yuan is smart enough, he should immediately recover the one million borrowed by Bob, and then reorganize the Qin family. He doesn't have the energy to trouble me yet."

"Besides, I'm not afraid if he troubles me!"

Master Mo sighed, "I know you are very capable, but...be careful with everything."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "I remember."

···

In the Li family's mountaintop villa.

Li Ciqi, the first porcelain collector in Binhai City, is drinking tea with someone.

If Jiang Yuan were here, he would have been able to recognize that the person drinking tea with Li Ciqi was the mysterious Mr. Ma.

"Lao Ma, is there still no news?"

Ma Sanye looked sad, "Lao Er Wu brought a fake thing last time, and Jiang Yuan found out."

"He said Scar was the one who stole the real thing."

"I put Wu Lao'er back and then sent someone to follow him, only to find..."

"Wu Laoer has always been a scarred person."

Li Ciqi frowned, "Scarp knows your secret?"

Mr. Ma nodded, his eyes full of cold light, "There must be a spy among my cronies, I'm investigating."

Li Ciqi thought for a while and said: "Your ancestor was deeply trusted by Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong even gave his favorite hunting knife to your ancestor. I have always been curious, why did that knife disappear?"

Mr. Ma put down his teacup and sighed, "During the war, we were so poor that my father had to sell his heirloom sword in exchange for food."

Li Ciqi pondered for a moment, "Is it possible that Scar is deliberately letting you know that Wu Laoer has the tip fragment of the knife through Wu Laoer, in order to lure you into taking the bait?"

Mr. Ma shook his head, "Scarp certainly doesn't know the whereabouts of the rest of the knife, and I'm not the only fish he wants to catch."

"The scar is nothing to worry about. What I'm really worried about is whether the knife will be destroyed."

"That contains information about the wealth that my Ma family has accumulated since the Qianlong period."

Li Ciqi refilled tea for Mr. Ma and himself, slowly shook his head and sighed, "You're not short of money either, so why keep looking for it."

"This is the only thing I want to do in my life that I haven't finished yet," Ma Sanye smiled, "It would be boring if I did nothing but drank tea and raised birds all day long.

"

Li Ciqi nodded and said nothing.

At this time, the housekeeper walked over quickly and whispered in Li Ciqi's ear:

"Qin Yuan is here."

Li Ciqi frowned slightly, "Let him come up."

A few minutes later, Qin Yuan was seen carrying a black password box and following the housekeeper into the tea room.

He put the box aside, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Li, I take the liberty of disturbing you."

After saying that, he clasped his fists at Mr. Ma again and said, "Qin Yuan, I have met this man before."

Otherwise, Qin Yuan has good eyesight.

As soon as he saw Mr. Ma's appearance and dress, he knew that he was no ordinary person.

Mr. Ma just nodded lightly and said nothing.

"Sit down," Li Ciqi said calmly, "I guessed you would come over."

"Is it about the Qin family?"

Qin Yuan nodded, "Mr. Li, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

Li Ciqi waved his hand, "Your father helped me a lot back then, and I promised to help your family three times.

"

"Your father used up one opportunity, and you used it up again when you had a conflict with Sun Dabiao a few years ago. This time is the last time."

"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

Qin Yuan opened the password box he brought and carefully took out a porcelain bowl.

This porcelain bowl is about 13 centimeters in diameter and 8 centimeters in height. It is painted with enamel patterns of apricot blossoms in bloom, green willows blowing in the wind, and two swallows flying together. The scene painted on it is vivid and lifelike.

What's even more rare is that there is a poem on the side: Jade scissors pass through the flowers, and the colorful clothes return with the moon.

There is also a blue regular script inscription "Qianlong Year System" on the bottom of the bowl.

"Hey, 'Enamel bowl with spring swallows in the apricot forest made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.'" Ma Sanye was slightly surprised, "This poem should have been written by Emperor Qianlong. This thing is rare."

Qin Yuan smiled and nodded, "Sir, you have good eyesight. You can tell at a glance that this poem was written by Emperor Qianlong."

Mr. Ma Sanye waved his hand calmly, "I have a few calligraphy and paintings of Emperor Qianlong at home, and I'll recognize them after seeing them many times."

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he hugged his fists at Mr. Ma.

Li Ciqi frowned, "What do you mean?"

Qin Yuan got straight to the point: "My Qin family is in urgent need of funds now. I would like to ask Mr. Li for a loan of one million yuan."

"In addition, I want to teach a boy named Jiang Yuan a long lesson, and I also ask Mr. Li to agree."

Li Ciqi's eyes sharpened, he thought for a moment and said, "I'll accept this piece of porcelain from you, and I'll give you another one million, so it's considered my purchase."

"As for you saying you want to teach Jiang Yuan a lesson, why do you need my permission?"

"And you have already detained the man named Bob. His family should return the one million, so why do you bring this piece of porcelain again?"

Qin Yuan slowly shook his head, "I detained Bob, but I'm not sure whether his family will pay him back. Even if he does, I, the Qin family, can't wait."

"Since I have taken over the Qin family again, I naturally want to take Qin's jewelry to become the number one in Binhai and even the province. One or two million is actually not much."

"As for Jiang Yuan..." Qin Yuan paused and continued: "I heard that he is very accomplished in antiques. Mr. Li is a person who loves talents. If I want to teach him a lesson, I must get your consent."

Li Ciqi's face was expressionless, "I'm afraid you know that he visited me, right?"

"I still say the same thing, I have no control over your own grudges."

Qin Yuan nodded, "I understand."

"Qin Yuan, right?" Mr. Ma took a sip of tea and suddenly said with a smile, "I also know Jiang Yuan. I think this young man has good character."

"I have no control over your grudges. I just want to remind you that it is better to resolve enemies than to end them."

"I think I'm pretty good at judging people. If you really want to teach Jiang Yuan a lesson, you might end up being taught a lesson by him in turn."

Li Ciqi was immediately surprised, "Old Ma, you have only met Jiang Yuan once, and you think so highly of him?"

Mr. Ma nodded, "Some people are like that. You can tell how extraordinary they are the first time you look at them."

"Anyway, I've said it before. Whether you want to take the risk or not is your own business."

Qin Yuan clasped his fists but said nothing.

After a while, Qin Yuan took a check for one million and walked down the mountain quickly and left.

And a phone call from the capital made Mr. Ma frown again.

"Wu Laoer ran away with the fragments of the knife."

"He is also a smart man, and he knows that Scary no longer trusts him."

"Then he should come to Binhai to find you soon," Li Ciqi smiled, "This time, he will probably open his mouth like a lion."

Ma Sanye waved his hand, "Money doesn't matter, just the real stuff."

···

Wanbao Tower.

Mark walked in with a frown on his face, pulled Jiang Yuan aside and whispered: "Did you catch Bob?"

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, Bob is missing?"

Mark nodded, "My brother called me this morning, but the family can't contact Bob."

Jiang Yuan chuckled lightly, "Don't think about it, it must have been done by the Qin family."

"Qin Yu?"

"no

, it’s Qin Yu and his father——Qin Yuan.”

Jiang Yuan pulled Mark to sit down and said slowly: "Think about it, if Bob lent you one million and you were in a hurry to use the money, what would you do?"

Mark blurted out without thinking, "I'll pay him back."

"Do you think Bob can afford a million?"

Mark was stunned, "You mean, Qin Yuan wants to use Bob in exchange to force my family to pay back the money?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Otherwise, who would attack Bob?"

Mark's frown deepened, "According to my understanding of the old men in the family, if Bob borrows money without following legal procedures, they will not repay the money so easily."

"Qin Yuan should be forced to let Bob go through official channels."

"Are you foreigners so naive?"

"What evidence do you have that Qin Yuan detained Bob?"

"Why should people admit it?"

"Even if everyone in the world knows that Qin Yuan did it, you still can't force him to let him go without evidence."

Mark sighed, "Do you have any ideas?"

"You want me to save Bob?" Jiang Yuan looked surprised, "Don't you and Bob get along?"

"Bob and I are both members of the Smith family after all," Mark shook his head, "and if I save him, my status in the family will rise a lot."

Jiang Yuan: "So?"

mark:"···"

"Can you help me?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head decisively, "I won't help."

Mark was stunned, "Why?"

"Then tell me, why should I do this for you?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Mark meaningfully, "I think there are a few things you don't quite understand yet."

"No matter what, it is natural to pay back debts."

"If your family pays back the money, they will naturally let Bob go."

"If you don't return it, then it's only natural that they detain Bob."

"After all, it depends on your family's attitude. Neither you nor I should interfere."

"If you really want to save him, just persuade your family to pay back the money."

The confusion on Mark's face deepened, "How can you speak for the Qin family?"

"I didn't help the Qin family, I just felt that I shouldn't help your family."

"After all, in my eyes, your family and that guy Qin Yu are all the same."

Mark couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Qin, in your eyes, am I the same as Qin Yu?"

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at Mark, "I don't have such thoughts."

"Okay, don't worry about this. It all depends on whether your family plans to pay back the money."

Mark nodded, "One more thing. Now many customers in country Y are pressing for goods."

"Bob couldn't be contacted, so the family contacted me through my brother and asked me to buy a batch of porcelain and ship it to country Y."

With a smile on his face, Jiang Yuan asked meaningfully: "So do you want to help me with this business, or do you want to help your family with this business?"

Mark was almost stunned by Jiang Yuan's words, "You people just talk in roundabout ways, but there is something in your words."

"Isn't this all the same?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "This is different."

"If you help me do this business, it means you are thinking from the perspective of our ceramics factory. If you help your family do this business, then you must be thinking about your family."

"This is like fighting, it determines whether you are my own general or someone else's reinforcements."

Mark immediately understood what Jiang Yuan meant.

If you want to be someone Jiang Yuan absolutely trusts, you must stand on the side of the ceramics factory!

Otherwise, if the ceramics factory becomes a large international company in the future, I might not be able to be the general manager.

With almost no hesitation, Mark said directly:

"I am not interested in the position of the patriarch of the Smith family. I would rather work on my own career."
