Chapter 751: Chapter 0751: Borrowing Her Fame

Li Shusen and Zhao Wenhua exchanged a glance, they knew that Li Wenxuan had complained to the Family about Yang Wei and a martial expert called Shi Tou trying to force themselves on her. For a major Family like the Li Family, such an incident was a tremendous disgrace, it was already quite considerate of them not to declare war.

"Even though the Yang Family has been eliminated, Yang Wei had previously introduced me to Sun Zhuangjia from the Sun Family, which is a bona fide Martial Arts Family. Forming an alliance with the Sun Family would be more beneficial than working with the Yang Family," Li Wenmao said coldly after taking a sip of tea. "As for the Yang Family, they have offended people domestically, suffering heavy casualties and continuous losses. Although their overseas interests haven’t been affected, they no longer have the extra strength to expand into the Huaxia market and have lost their value as allies to us."

"According to our investigation, the Sun Family is indeed a strong Martial Arts Family, after all, they are from the provincial capital of West Sea Province, far more powerful than those smaller families in places like Songlan City. Cooperating with them would indeed be a wise decision," Li Shusen nodded in agreement.

"Young Master Li graces us with his presence, please forgive our poor reception,"

Just then, a hearty laugh sounded.

Looking up, they saw Sun Jinlong walk into the hall with a father-son pair, the middle-aged man being the one who spoke.

"You must be Uncle Sun, right?"

Li Wenmao put down his teacup and stood up, politely saying, "I am Li Wenmao from the Li Family, I have long heard of Uncle Sun."

"You flatter me, young master Li. Sun has heard much about you, and seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation," Sun Wuchang said with a falsely complaisant tone.

"You’re too kind, Uncle Sun. Please feel free to call me Wenmao," Li Wenmao responded with refined courtesy.

"Good, good, such politeness from young master Sun certainly comes from a distinguished background. How is your father’s health?" Sun Wuchang walked up to the couch and gestured for Li Wenmao to sit down and talk.

"My father is in good health, thank you for your concern, Uncle Sun," Li Wenmao replied with a faint smile, looking at Sun Zhuangjia questioningly, "And who might this be?"

"Brother Li, it’s me, Sun Zhuangjia. We spoke on the phone," Sun Zhuangjia said somewhat sheepishly, touching the swollen area on his face. "I had a little accident during training, got injured a bit."

"So it is Brother Zhuangjia, we finally meet in person. I didn’t expect you to be so diligent, pushing yourself so hard in training; I truly admire that," Li Wenmao said with an enlightened look, admiration on his face. Yet he couldn’t help but want to laugh internally; Sun Zhuangjia’s appearance made it clear he had been beaten up. But he wouldn’t point it out directly, as everyone wanted to save face.

Both Sun Wuchang and Sun Zhuangjia looked somewhat embarrassed; even being beaten by one’s own father was a humiliating affair.

"And who are these two?"

Sun Wuchang quickly changed the subject, looking at the two elders beside Li Wenmao.

"Allow me to introduce them. This is my Third Grandfather, Li Shusen, and my Third Grandmother, Zhao Wenhua. They are both Five-star Martial Masters and have specially returned to the country with me to assist in my work," Li Wenmao casually introduced them, his face brimming with pride as two Five-star Martial Masters would be equivalent to a Sect’s influence back in the country.

Hearing this, Sun Wuchang immediately stood up to pay respects to the two elders. Normally, it would be his father, Sun Mantang, who should have personally come out to greet such esteemed individuals. Compared to them, he didn’t quite measure up.

The group then began to engage in small talk, exchanging polite but ultimately empty compliments.

Half an hour later, over a cup of tea, Li Wenmao sighed and said, "Uncle, I’m here on behalf of our family to see if there are any projects in the country suitable for the Li Family’s development. We’ll be relying on your support and that of the Sun Family in the future."

Seeing that Li Shusen finally broached the main topic, Sun Wuchang immediately replied with a smile, "My dear nephew, you are being too formal. Our families should interact more. I wholeheartedly welcome your return to explore opportunities, and now is indeed the time, as the domestic economy is booming—an excellent phase for investment and construction."

"Do you have any good projects in mind, uncle?"

Li Wenmao looked expectantly at Sun Wuchang.

"There are naturally many projects, but if the Li Family wants to develop domestically, the first thing to do is to create momentum. Once your reputation is established, you won’t need to seek out projects; good projects will come to you. Don’t you agree?"

Sun Wuchang responded with a smile after taking a sip of his tea.

"Absolutely, that makes perfect sense."

Li Wenmao nodded repeatedly, then frowned and asked, "Our family does have a certain reputation overseas, but now that we’re back in the country, not many people know about us. How do you propose we build momentum?"

"This..."

Sun Wuchang paused, momentarily at a loss. Li Wenmao’s sudden visit left him unprepared on how to accommodate the Li Family. Allowing them to enter the poison or medical industry was not an option. On one hand, the Tangming Group was rising dominantly in the pharmaceutical industry, and it wouldn’t be easy for the Li Family to overshadow them. On the other hand, the core of the Sun Family’s business was in these two industries, and letting the Li Family get involved would have adverse effects on their own interests.

"Brother Li, I do have a way to quickly establish the Li Family’s reputation,"

Sun Zhuangjia said hurriedly, covering his face.

"Let’s hear it. Brother Sun, who has spent many years domestically, surely has a good method,"

Li Wenmao nodded, looking at Sun Zhuangjia with interest.

"If I remember correctly, Brother Li, did you not say you have a sister named Li Wenxuan?"

Sun Zhuangjia asked tentatively, his eyes darting around.

"Yes, she’s currently teaching at a school in Songlan City. But my sister has always kept a low profile and never gets involved in family affairs. I’m afraid it will be difficult for her to be of much help,"

Li Wenmao sighed with resignation. Theoretically, he didn’t want his sister to get too involved in family affairs. Once one enters the Jianghu, it’s as deep as the sea, and thereafter, an ordinary life is but a dream. That path is all too bloody.

"We only need to leverage her reputation without making her show her face,"

Sun Zhuangjia said excitedly, smiling. "Actually, I know Teacher Li Wenxuan. She is quite the beauty—a true catch."

Hearing this, Li Wenmao furrowed his brows, watching Sun Zhuangjia warily, "Brother Sun, you wouldn’t be smitten with my sister, would you? Although the Li Family is a Martial Arts Family, we’ve never considered forcing my sister into marriage. She’s free to marry whom she pleases, based on her own preferences. If you truly have feelings for her, you can pursue her yourself. As long as my sister agrees, I will fully support it."

Li Wenmao clarified the situation immediately; no matter what, the Li Family would not follow the path of marriage alliances.

"Brother Li, you misunderstand me,"

Sun Zhuangjia quickly shook his head and explained, "I have someone I like and have no intention of pursuing your sister. However, we can use your sister’s name to our advantage, such as organizing a networking event in West Sea Province, inviting promising young talents from all sectors."
