If Count Ming Kai were to agree to the demands made by Liu Kai Xuan now, Count Ming Kai would be utterly disgraced.
For Ming Kai, this would be far more unbearable than death.
Ming Kai’s intention was that he wanted to have a face-to-face discussion with Liu Kai Xuan!
He hoped that Sen Ya would escort Liu Kai Xuan to Count Ming Kai’s residence.
They could communicate and negotiate in person to resolve all issues thoroughly.
Sen Ya felt that Ming Kai did show a certain degree of sincerity!
Sen Ya hoped that Liu Kai Xuan would visit Count Ming Kai’s manor and have a good talk with Ming Kai.
However, Liu Kai Xuan’s reply to Sen Ya was, “Princess Sen Ya, can you please not be so naive?”
“What if Count Ming Kai detains me if I go to his manor now?”
“That’s his territory. If something goes wrong, I’ll have no control over the situation!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you while I’m there!”
Sen Ya declared confidently, “I refuse to believe that Ming Kai would dare to detain you in my presence!”
Liu Kai Xuan retorted, “If Ming Kai actually did that, what could you do?”
“I…”
Sen Ya replied anxiously, “Liu Kai Xuan, what exactly do you want?”
“I’ve already said, I will do my utmost to protect your safety!”
“Besides, Ming Kai has publicly invited you for negotiations this time!”
“If he were to truly act against you, how would the outside world judge him?”
“These nobles and high officials value their reputation more than their own lives!”
“Just trust me this one time and hurry up for the negotiations, I…”
“Enough!”
Before Sen Ya could finish speaking, Liu Kai Xuan interrupted her, “He, Ming Kai, is the one who needs to beg for surrender now, not me!”
“Since he is the one asking me to surrender, he should be the one to come find me!”
“He is begging me to surrender, and I still have to go find him to talk? I don’t have that kind of free time!”
Sen Ya was now extremely disappointed with Liu Kai Xuan’s attitude.
However, she had no control over Liu Kai Xuan whatsoever. Besides sighing and stomping her feet, there seemed to be no other better option.
Conversely, Liu Kai Xuan had to be cautious at all times.
If he went to Ming Kai’s manor for negotiations, and if Ming Kai harbored malicious intentions, it would be difficult to guard against.
Although Liu Kai Xuan was confident that he could thwart any conspiracy, from a practical perspective, there was no need for it.
For a businessman, making money always came first. The only factor that ranked equally with making money was “safety.”
Going to Ming Kai’s manor for negotiations would not only fail to bring in any money but would also threaten his personal safety.
This was clearly an effort that yielded no reward, so why bother doing it?
Unable to persuade Liu Kai Xuan to negotiate with Ming Kai, Sen Ya could only report the entire matter to Sen Kai.
Furthermore, Sen Ya expressed some subjective opinions: “Father, I think this Liu Kai Xuan is simply a warmonger!”
“He has no intention of reconciliation at all. You should impose some sanctions on him to make him restrain himself!”
Sen Kai responded, “Sen Ya, how do you think I should sanction Liu Kai Xuan?”
“You should personally contact him and order him to negotiate with Ming Kai immediately!”
Sen Ya continued, “If Liu Kai Xuan disobeys your command, then expel him from our Sen Luo Kingdom!”
“Heh heh…”
Sen Kai replied with a wry smile, “If we expel Liu Kai Xuan from our Sen Luo Kingdom, who will invest in the development zone?”
Sen Ya began to get a little agitated, “Regardless of what, we cannot let Liu Kai Xuan do whatever he pleases in our Sen Luo Kingdom!”
Sen Kai said sternly, “I have been keeping an eye on this matter as well!”
“In the beginning, the cause of this incident was that Ming Kai sent people to forcibly abduct a large group of people from the development zone!”
“His actions cast a thick shadow over the development of the development zone!”
“Subsequently, it was also Ming Kai who took the lead in launching the attack!”
“Your continued sympathy for Ming Kai is also incorrect!”
“Just because Ming Kai suffered a loss, you should sympathize with him?”
“But I…”
When Sen Kai asked this, Sen Ya suddenly became flustered.
She quickly explained, “Father, I just don’t want this dispute to escalate further!”
Sen Kai replied, “Xiao Ya, I know your intentions are good!”
“However, when you look at any matter, you must consider it from multiple perspectives!”
“First of all, when you are handling matters, you must ensure that your position is fair!”
“Only with a fair position can you arrive at an authoritative decision!”
“If you want others to accept your views, you must have a certain authority!”
“Secondly, when handling matters, you must set a clear goal for yourself!”
“Everything you do should serve your goal!”
“For example, the purpose of my assigning you to the development zone this time is for you to assist Liu Kai Xuan in developing the development zone!”
“When the interests of the development zone are harmed, that is when you should step forward!”
“As for the interests of others, they are secondary to you!”
“This includes the interests of Count Ming Kai!”
“And finally, you must have a sense of interests in your heart!”
“You must carefully consider whose interests are our core interests!”
“Taking this incident as an example, Liu Kai Xuan will be a major taxpayer for our Sen Kai Kingdom in the future!”
“Count Ming Kai, on the other hand, is an obnoxious warlord!”
At this point, Sen Kai paused slightly.
Sen Ya continued, “Father, I think I understand what you mean!”
“Mm!”
Sen Kai continued, “Xiao Ya, you not only need to understand my meaning!”
“The most crucial point is: in the future, when you encounter matters, you must think and ponder more!”
“It would be best if you cultivate a group of your own advisors around you!”
“When you encounter problems, you can let them help you brainstorm ideas!”
“Okay Father, I understand!”
Sen Ya nodded repeatedly and replied, “Thank you for your guidance, I will definitely work harder!”
After hanging up the phone, Sen Ya fell into deep thought!
In Sen Ya’s impression, her father Sen Kai was not a chatterbox.
On the contrary, Sen Kai generally disliked sycophants.
However, the words Sen Kai spoke to Sen Ya today were clearly a bit too much.
A person who disliked rambling suddenly becoming a chatterbox and talking incessantly.
Without a doubt, this was definitely a signal that warranted vigilance.
Sen Ya vaguely felt that it was her approach that had disappointed Sen Kai, which was why Sen Kai had said so much to her.
