3:30 PM.
Fu Shihan was reminded by his secretary to leave the office.
Outside, the secretary was already waiting. She quietly asked, "President Fu, President Shen from the Shen Family and President Zhang from the Bai Ran Group have both arrived. You arranged to et both at 3:30 PM, which one do you plan to see first?"
"See them together."
"Ah?"
The secretary was dumbfounded, puzzled.
It was common knowledge that the Shen Family and the Bai Ran Group were arch-enemies, with businesses overlapping in too many areas and nearly identical market positioning. After so many years of rivalry, they were in a situation that seed like "if you’re in, I’m out."
Was President Fu planning to et the two of them at once today to anger soone to death?
"Don’t understand human speech?" Fu Shihan glanced at the secretary, frightening her into shaking her head.
"I understand! I’ll go arrange it right away!"
The secretary hurried off, and by the ti Fu Shihan leisurely reached the eting room, Shen Wenguang and Zhang Hanyu were already seated on either side of the table, like two roosters ready to fight, necks stiffened and glaring at each other, creating a heavily tense atmosphere.
"What do you an by this, President Fu?" As soon as Shen Wenguang saw Fu Shihan, he spoke unpleasantly. "You invited and then soone else. Who do you want to leave?"
Fu Shihan listened, smiled, and sat down.
"President Shen must be joking. Everyone who cos is a guest; naturally, I should et with all. Only..." He shifted his tone, chilling to the bone. "I had a prior arrangent with President Zhang, and it’s only because of President Shen’s persistent requests for a eting that we’ve ended up together."
Shen Wenguang’s face stiffened, while Zhang Hanyu lightly chuckled, seizing the opportunity to mock: "What kind of big trouble has the Shen Family gotten into to make President Shen so anxious?"
Lately, everyone has been laughing at the Shen Family’s misfortunes, especially the Bai Ran Group, whose business is nearly identical to the Shen Family. They found it especially gratifying.
Zhang Hanyu guessed that Shen Wenguang was here today to seek help from Fu Shihan. If he rembered correctly, the old man’s daughter was nad Shen Xiaochen; she was rumored to have had a fling with Fu Shihan in the past, though he wasn’t sure if it was true.
"The bigger the problem, the more it’s an internal issue for the Shen Family—it certainly can’t be solved here," Fu Shihan said, his gaze icy as he looked at Shen Wenguang, feigning ignorance. "What is it that President Shen is looking to discuss with ?"
Shen Wenguang’s lips twitched, knowing full well that Fu Shihan intended to embarrass him.
He had intended to negotiate with Fu Shihan, to ask him to stop targeting the Shen Family. But in front of a rival, such words would undoubtedly be equivalent to throwing one’s pride down and trampling on it.
"President Fu," Shen Wenguang went silent for a long while, his complexion ashen as he spoke. "Is it possible for us to talk in private?"
"That’s not convenient."
Fu Shihan’s refusal was swift. He leaned back lazily in his chair, enjoying the sight of Shen Wenguang simultaneously furious and mute, chuckling softly.
"Since President Shen is in such a rush, why don’t I give you two choices?"
"Go ahead."
"Your daughter or your company—choose one." A cold light flashed in Fu Shihan’s eyes, but his face remained cheerfully calm.
Shen Xiaochen or the Shen Family, he was determined to destroy one this ti—let’s see how Shen Wenguang would decide.
These days he had been staying by Su Wanxin’s side, with no ti to personally settle scores. Now that Su Wanxin’s health was sowhat better, the Shen Family had taken the initiative to co to him.
At Fu Shihan’s words, Shen Wenguang slamd his hand on the table and stood up, glaring at Fu Shihan with bloodshot eyes, hissing, "Don’t go too far!"
"Does President Shen have so misunderstanding about the phrase ’too far’?"
He had given two options, yet Shen Wenguang didn’t thank him for the rcy shown, and even accused him of going too far?
