“That won’t do either, he’s clearly taking advantage of you.” Zou Yi was almost furious as he directly shooed the person away, “Hurry and leave, don’t be an eyesore here.”
“I’m not leaving.” Feng Yanze stubbornly refused to go.
Zou Yi had things to report to Big Brother, and he didn’t want an eyesore around, so he simply got up, dragged Feng Yanze away, and personally escorted him downstairs.
Zhou Hengguang didn’t try to stop him; instead, he asked a waiter to bring him a cup of boiled water and adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position, clearly observing Song Jinyan in the distance. Their gazes clashed fiercely in mid-air, and within the brief span of a second, both realized that the other was not an easy foe.
The other also possessed a firm will and the ability to see through the other’s calculations.
Zhou Hengguang came here precisely to meet with Song Jinyan. Settling accounts with Feng Yanze was just a side task; otherwise, he would have already returned to the province and would not be wasting time here.
Five minutes later, Zhou Hengguang and Song Jinyan were sitting together, face to face.
“Can you tell me, on what grounds are you getting involved in the Su family’s affairs now?” Song Jinyan asked with great finesse, his choice of words was tactful, and his demeanor bore no aggression; he was the kind of person it’s hard to be on guard against.
For someone like him, who had long been in a position of power, this was quite rare.
Zhou Hengguang raised an eyebrow and feigned ignorance, “What do you mean?”
Song Jinyan smiled, “If that’s the case, then I might as well talk to Zhou Hengyang! I think he has more authority to speak.” This was a blatant threat.
Of course, Zhou Hengguang didn’t want that, so he had to relinquish the initiative and looked at Song Jinyan with sincere eyes.
“Big Brother Song.”
Upon hearing this, Song Jinyan immediately gestured to stop him, finding the title unbearable. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Don’t, I certainly can’t claim to be your big brother.”
Zhou Hengguang gave him a look that said, “If I call you Big Brother, do you really think you qualify to be my big brother?” and spoke indifferently, “Don’t take it seriously.”
Song Jinyan checked his wristwatch; it was getting late. Frowning, he tossed the materials he had prepared long ago on the table, “Enough, I won’t beat around the bush with you. Take this, give it to Su Wen or Su Qing. I think these things will be of significant help to you.”
Both were old foxes; neither was unaware of the other’s craftiness.
Song Jinyan was clear about Zhou Hengguang’s intentions. As a cousin, knowing someone had designs on his sister made him angry initially. Yet, being a calm person, he wouldn’t act impulsively after his anger subsided, and he would certainly not do anything rash.
He had meticulously studied Zhou Hengguang, and then Su Qing’s attitude and conduct, which led him to a bold conjecture.
Perhaps Su Qing didn’t need anyone’s protection.
And maybe this bastard in front of him wouldn’t necessarily gain any advantage.
So, he chose Zhou Hengguang as a partner. Because Zhou Hengguang was the most suitable, he wanted to create opportunities—the stores at the World Trade Center were exactly what the Su family lacked, and under normal circumstances, anyone with a bit of business sense would seize them at all costs.
In his own hands, Su Qing would reject them without hesitation.
But in Zhou Hengguang’s hands, it might not be so certain.
He would help him achieve his goals.
Indeed, Song Jinyan had considered collaborating with Zhou Hengyang, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Because Zhou Hengyang was more principled, had more bottom lines, and wanted less than Zhou Hengguang.
A person who wants for nothing is definitely not a good partner.
Smart people don’t need to talk too much.
“Pleasure doing business.”
“This isn’t business; this is trust.”
The two stood up, shaking hands with each other, and realized it was already late. They signaled Feng Yancheng and Xu Xiyi to leave with them.
