Chapter 1261: Chapter 1264: War
"It’s nine o’clock! Master, I think we should head back. There’s nothing to talk about with soone so unreliable, and besides, he hasn’t even shown up yet. He’s probably just ssing with us!" Xia Bingzhong said.
They’ve never had to wait for anyone before. Punctuality is a virtue every businessperson should possess. Yet, Mu Shanshan’s husband is an hour late and still hasn’t arrived!
This is humiliating. If he’s playing gas with us, imagine how Xia Jiahe will deal with this guy. How arrogant! He’s asking for trouble!
Xia Jiahe also felt he’s being toyed with, but he still couldn’t believe soone who dared to invite him would break the agreent.
At that mont, a figure ca up from downstairs. Seeing the otherwise empty hotel, with only two people waiting on the second floor, Lin Fei didn’t need to guess. These were the ones he was eting, and he recognized the arrogant old man among them.
"Ah, my apologies, sorry for being late," Lin Fei approached them with a smile.
"It’s you!" The old man, Xia Bingzhong, imdiately recognized Lin Fei. He was the one he had scolded the other day! He didn’t expect Lin Fei to be Mu Shanshan’s husband, which made the situation more complicated.
"Yes, it’s —the one you told to get lost~" Lin Fei plopped down across from Xia Jiahe and said with a grin.
"Old Zhong, you know him?" Xia Jiahe asked. He hadn’t expected Xia Bingzhong to know Mu Shanshan’s husband, and it seed their relationship wasn’t good if Xia Bingzhong had told him to get lost.
Xia Bingzhong bent down and whispered to Xia Jiahe that Lin Fei was Mu Shanshan’s husband, the one who had waited for Xia Jiahe in the office last ti, and also the one who saved Xia Xue.
"So, you’re Lin Fei! I’m sorry, I had an ergency eting last ti and couldn’t et you," Xia Jiahe said.
Lin Fei shrugged, thinking: Apologizing so arrogantly, as if it’s a pity. However, he still said, "Everyone has family matters. I had sothing to do today too, I took a dump and a pee, didn’t expect to be late. Waiter, bring so food and drinks, my stomach’s empty after that."
"..."
Listening to Lin Fei’s bold words, Xia Jiahe and Xia Bingzhong could hardly eat. They wanted to leave but stayed, watching Lin Fei confidently order from a foreign nu, clearly intending to annoy them.
After ordering, Xia Jiahe never intended to eat there. When he asked, "Mr. Lin, about New City..."
Lin Fei dodged, saying, "Let’s eat first, talk after. I’m starving. You really want
discussing business on an empty stomach? What if my stomach growls during the talk?"
Xia Jiahe nodded and had to let it go.
Finally, around eleven, the al ended. After the servers cleared everything away and served tea and water, Xia Jiahe was about to speak when Lin Fei asked, "How’s Xia Xue? Is she okay?"
Xia Jiahe was puzzled, realizing he had overlooked sothing—Lin Fei was his daughter’s lifesaver. No wonder Lin Fei didn’t say much to him.
"My daughter’s fine, thank you," Xia Jiahe said, clearly unaccustod to expressing gratitude, making it sound awkward.
Facing Lin Fei, Xia Jiahe found himself at a loss. Lin Fei was too cunning, using trivial matters to vex him, putting Xia Jiahe, like a scholar facing a soldier, at a disadvantage.
"No problem, it just so happened that I was there, otherwise, it would have been unfortunate," Lin Fei said, admitting saving Xia Xue was coincidental.
"Thank you anyway," Xia Jiahe replied.
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Then let’s discuss New City. How much do you plan to invest, Mr. Xia?"
"Invest?" Xia Jiahe frowned. How could this be an investnt? He ca to discuss an acquisition, not an investnt!
"That’s right, what’s the issue?" Lin Fei looked at Xia Jiahe with a smile.
Xia Jiahe frowned, radiating an aura of authority. Though imposing, Lin Fei’s fighting spirit, honed over years of life and death experiences, wouldn’t be overshadowed by anyone of high status.
It’s like a wild king that simply cannot be tad.
"Mr. Lin, we’re here to talk about acquisition, not investnt. I hope to acquire New City’s contract from you. Na a price I can accept." Xia Jiahe said, leaving no room for rebuttal.
Lin Fei chuckled, picked up his tea, took a sip, and looked into the distance.
"You!" Seeing Lin Fei ignore Xia Jiahe, Xia Bingzhong’s anger flared and he wanted to confront Lin Fei, but was stopped by Xia Jiahe, signaling him to calm down.
Watching Lin Fei’s deanor, Xia Jiahe said, "Mr. Lin, I’m really getting more interested in you. Can you reveal your true identity?"
"? Just what you have in mind. What other true identity could there be?" Lin Fei replied, deflecting the question. If it was about acquisition, he wouldn’t have co here.
The scene grew quiet. Xia Jiahe considered leaving, but Lin Fei’s calmness suggested an extraordinary identity, and his mature, steady approach ant Lin Fei couldn’t be treated as an ordinary person. It was an unspoken battle, both silent.
Eventually, one side gave in. Xia Jiahe said, "Mr. Lin, why don’t you share your plan? I’m curious about your cooperation ideas."
Lin Fei’s stance was clear: only talk investnt, not acquisition. So, what was his reasoning? Xia Jiahe was eager to hear it. If Lin Fei’s idea was worthless, then there was no reason for him to stay.
This was basically Lin Fei’s only way to keep Xia Jiahe from leaving. Otherwise, Xia Jiahe would have left already, though he wouldn’t give up on New City, he’d just find other ans.
