Chapter 745 Pushing the envelope
"After all, he is the only son of the Liu Group and will be their heir in the future."

Wang Yang knew that Shen Qing was trying to persuade Xiao Mi. Although they didn't want to hang out with Liu Wang Yang, they would still treat him politely if they ran into him.

“I have never done anything excessive to him, but look at him, we are polite to him, but he is becoming more and more demanding.”

Shen Qing sighed. Who could blame him when the other family's business was developing better and better, even showing signs of becoming the second largest in Haicheng?

"Has their family business been doing quite well over the years? Through other industries?"

"Yes, their family used to be in the fishing industry. We live in Haicheng, and most people there do that. But later they started doing other things, like real estate and construction. They've really done well in recent years."

Wang Yang nodded. No wonder Shen Qing and the others didn't dare to act rashly.

"And most importantly, my dad says their family business is getting more and more diversified, and they're almost becoming the second Haicheng."

Clearly, if they were to expand further, they would threaten the Shen family's position.

Wang Yang smiled and said, "That's different. Your Shen family has been in Haicheng for so many years and has a deep foundation. It won't be so easy for him to surpass you."

"You don't know, I'm the only one supporting my family, I'm an only child. But their family is so big, I don't know how they can have so many children, and they're all quite capable."

Wang Yang hadn't properly investigated the Liu Group before; his focus had always been on the Shen family.

"Now that you mention it, you should indeed feel some threat."

"So my dad often tells me not to offend Liu Wangyang. After all, their family is developing so fast now, and nobody knows what will happen in the future."

Xiaomi pouted: "My dad said the same thing to me, so I get so annoyed every time I see him. I really hope the Liu family falls from grace soon."

"But according to you, they only developed in recent years, so the speed shouldn't be this fast."

Shen Qing shook her head: "I don't know either. Anyway, the Liu family has indeed developed quite quickly, which is a bit beyond my father's expectations."

Wang Yang felt something was amiss. The Shen family had been in Haicheng for so many years; they couldn't have allowed a nouveau riche to develop so quickly.

Their family used to be "second-generation demolition beneficiaries," meaning they only received that much money starting from the year their land was demolished. But even so, they shouldn't be doing business this way.

What did their family do before?

"Before, I just did some small business, like selling fish and the like."

Wang Yang thought for a moment and concluded that either this person was truly a natural businessman, but had been too limited in the past and hadn't been able to make his business successful, or he had a powerful backer supporting him.

What is Liu Wangyang's father's name?

"His name is Liu Tian."

Wang Yang frowned: "Have you had any contact with this Liu Tian? What kind of person do you think he is? Could he have developed the entire Liu Group so well?"

“I think he is indeed very capable and has a broad vision. I had dinner with him once before, and I had never thought of many of his plans. So later I realized that the reason why Liu’s has developed so well is indeed because of him.”

That makes sense, it shows that this person is indeed capable. But this whole thing still seems a bit outrageous. "Don't you have some doubts about the Liu family's development? You and my dad thought the same thing at first, so he sent someone to investigate. Later, he found out that the Liu family seems to have a relative in Beicheng, who initially sent people to help them."

Wang Yang smiled and said, "Oh, I see. I was wondering how they could have built such a large business based on their previous experience selling fish, and how it could be doing so well."

"It's said that their relative holds a pretty high position in the north of the city, but we haven't gotten any information about who it is."

But there's something wrong with this. If they were already doing so well as relatives, why didn't they help them before?

However, Wang Yang didn't voice this question; he planned to investigate it himself. He had a feeling that something was off about the Liu family.

"Alright, you're already out here, so stop talking about business. I get annoyed listening to my dad nag about this every day at home, and now I have to listen to the two of you nagging too."

Xiaomi looked at the two of them with impatience. Every time they came out, they would start discussing company matters.

"Okay, okay, then we won't say anything more."

More than an hour later, they finally reached the top of the mountain. Wang Yang and Xiao Jiang started setting up their tents, while Xiaomi and Shen Qing went hand in hand to enjoy the scenery.

"Those two are fine, just wandering around leisurely, doing nothing. We've done all the dirty and hard work," Xiao Jiang complained.

"Then go and invite those two young ladies back and let them do it. We're here to do hard labor anyway, so we're lucky if we can even enjoy the scenery."

Xiao Jiang asked quietly, "You've been asking about the Liu Group just now. Do you feel like there's something wrong with them?"

"Something does seem off. You could ask your aunt to help you investigate and see who the Liu Group's relatives are in Beicheng, and whether we know them."

Since he said he had a high status in Beicheng, Wang Yang had basically heard of all the people with high status, but he didn't know which family they were related to.

"Actually, I don't think we need to investigate this much. The Liu Group has nothing to do with us. We should focus our main efforts on the Shen Group right now."

“That won’t do. I can’t let go of even the slightest clue. I know it’s not very useful to us right now, but if the Liu Group really has some problems, we can use this as a token of our loyalty to negotiate with Master Shen.”

After listening to Wang Yang's words, Xiao Jiang understood what he meant.

"Okay, I'll call my aunt tomorrow and ask her to check it out."

"By the way, how are Xia and the others? I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to ask them about it."

Xiao Jiang smiled and said, "They're doing quite well with Uncle Wang. They rented that shop on the first floor and opened a small clinic, and business has been pretty good lately. They didn't use your name, but everyone found out later."

Wang Yang sighed, thankfully they didn't fall into depravity, nor did his situation hinder their development.

"Xia is a good girl. You must treat her well when you go back. Also, after these things are settled, you shouldn't go out anymore. Just help her run that clinic."

"Okay, I understand. That's what Uncle Wang told me too."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the other two returned.
