Chapter 1457: Chapter 816: Winning People’s Hearts_2
Shange really didn’t want things to escalate this far, but the moment he saw Qin Yuan like this.
He was instantly so angry he couldn’t hold it in, and immediately blurted out that statement.
Gradually, he was becoming more sullen, and didn’t even take a deep breath.
He was visibly displeased the entire time.
Qin Yuan, of course, saw Shange’s appearance and was hardly pleased, but the corners of his lips slightly curved upwards.
He wasn’t scared at all, even raising his eyebrows provocatively.
“It’s clear to me now, you really don’t want to acknowledge me as your elder brother, so if you’re so reluctant, I won’t force you here.”
“I’m not one to impose on others. If you’re unwilling, so be it. But without recognizing me as your elder brother, you won’t get the antidote either.”
So, does he have no choice but to compromise now?
Does he have to acknowledge him as elder brother for the sake of the antidote? It seems that there really is no other option now.
To really acknowledge him as elder brother, who would have thought that after all is said and done, we’d end up back here.
I thought there would be some change, but there hasn’t been any at all.
It really has come to this. I must say, I’m quite disappointed.
Shange just sighed softly.
Qin Yuan added indifferently.
“This isn’t me threatening you, but rather, the reality of the situation. Even if you don’t want to accept me as your elder brother, you still have to face the cruelty of the facts.”
Upon hearing this, Shange suddenly clenched his fists tightly.
Qin Yuan didn’t continue speaking; after all, he had said everything that needed to be said.
Just now was all about fulfilling his duty; at this point, what more was there to say?
The choice was in Shange’s hands.
With a sigh, Shange eventually nodded.
“I acknowledge you as my elder brother.”
Qin Yuan didn’t press any further.
He didn’t feel any surprise, deeming everything to have proceeded as expected.
Since he was acknowledged as elder brother, things would be easier now.
Actually, he did want to still confirm Shange’s decision just now to know if he was trying to stall time and continue being elder brother for a bit longer.
But then he felt it was a foregone conclusion, not worth asking about any further.
Continuing the question felt rather pointless.
Qin Yuan restrained his gaze, and said nothing more.
Yueya saw this scene unfold before her eyes and instantly revealed a faint smile.
“I didn’t expect you to acknowledge him as elder brother so quickly, but now, isn’t it time to sign the contract? You’ve reviewed the contract many times already.”
“Surely you know it by heart now, and signing it shouldn’t impact anything at this point, I think you’ve got to sign it regardless.”
“Don’t procrastinate anymore; you shouldn’t delay everyone’s progress. Continuing to dawdle would not be a good thing.”
Dawdling was never a good thing to begin with.
So, they needed to speed it up.
How could they not be quick?
As the thought settled, Yueya still glanced at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan’s face did not betoken any excess emotion; he just slightly arched an eyebrow.
“Right, let’s sign the contract.”
The next moment, they exchanged glances, still hesitant on their faces.
Once the contract is signed, there’s no turning back; they would have to reluctantly accept him as elder brother.
But since they’ve already pushed the conversation this far, going back on their word now.
Would be too dishonorable and lacking in integrity. Besides, they really needed the antidote.
Without it, they were truly incapacitated; hence, getting the antidote was imperative no matter what.
With that thought in mind, they quickly signed the contract.
Qin Yuan was somewhat surprised to see them act so swiftly.
Yueya also felt extremely astonished, her eyes widening slightly before she spoke earnestly.
“I really didn’t expect you to sign the contract this quickly. We thought you would keep dawdling and waste a bunch of time.”
“I didn’t expect the contract to be signed that quickly. Now that it’s signed, it’s already in effect, and it’s too late for you guys to back out.”
“Anyway, just do what he says. I really think he’s a man of his word. As long as you listen to him, he’ll take good care of you.”
Crescent Moon was actually speaking up for Qin Yuan.
Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Qin Yuan’s face.
The corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly too, showing his satisfaction.
After all, he truly felt that there was truth in those words, as long as they did their job well.
He certainly wouldn’t mistreat them. If he did, could he even call it a contract?
And he indeed needed their help.
So there was no way he would mistreat them, or else it could delay all the work that needed to be done.
Qin Yuan thought this to himself but kept silent, merely glancing over at them quietly.
He wanted to see what they were thinking. After all, there was no need to declare his stance too quickly.
To see their thoughts and perhaps clarify any doubts they might have.
After all, they would still need to adjust to each other. Without that, how could they know whether they could continue to get along well?
Upon hearing Crescent Moon’s words, they also widened their eyes slightly and then simultaneously turned their gaze to Qin Yuan.
Though they didn’t speak, their expressions seemed to be questioning whether what Crescent Moon said was true.
Seeing this look in their eyes, the corners of Qin Yuan’s mouth curled up again.
“It seems you’re all curious about whether what Crescent Moon said is true. Well, since you’re curious, I must clarify it for you here.”
“Actually, if you treat me well, as Crescent Moon said, I will surely treat you right in return.”
“I won’t make you feel uncomfortable. After all, no matter what, we’re brothers. If I were to mistreat you, wouldn’t that make me a heartless boss?”
Qin Yuan couldn’t help but feel like laughing after saying this.
He found the statement rather amusing.
He wondered what they would think.
Ling Yu glanced at them, first curling his lips into a slight smile, then spoke slowly.
“I didn’t realize you were so humorous. I just thought you were incredible, and it’s only now I find out you’re also so funny.”
“I really admire you. Seeing how easy you are to talk to, I have nothing to worry about, since you’re such a smooth talker.”
“If I were still worried, would I even be human? From now on, you’re our big brother, and we’ll follow your commands.”
After saying this, Ling Yu was all smiles.
The bald guy also spoke up slowly.
“What he said represents what I think as well.”
Black Bear also echoed from the side.
Only Brother Shan didn’t say much.
Qin Yuan understood why Brother Shan wouldn’t speak, as it wasn’t easy for him to have been the boss for so long.
Now suddenly becoming the underling, it was natural he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Right then, Qin Yuan immediately spoke up.
“Brother Shan, even though you and I have become brothers now, I will still address you the same way. It’s not really about an employer-employee relationship.”
“It’s just a brotherhood. So there’s no need to keep calling yourselves underlings. We can still call each other by name comfortably.”
“As long as we’re happy, any title will do. After all, a title is just a title, and it doesn’t really define anything.”
A title doesn’t really mean anything.
So there’s no need to mind that.
That’s the point Qin Yuan wanted to emphasize.
Brother Shan felt a change in heart upon hearing this.
Although he had felt quite uncomfortable, he now felt somewhat better.
Could it be because of these very words? He didn’t expect Qin Yuan to have such broad-mindedness.
Seeing a slight change in Brother Shan’s expression, Qin Yuan’s lips curled up a bit more.
“We didn’t finish our game of chess earlier, did we? How about we play now? It’s quite boring anyway.”
What Qin Yuan meant to say was that this matter was done and over with for now.
Time to play chess.
He waited to see if they would agree.
