Chapter 1168: Chapter 1152: Hunting Plan

With the helmsman of the Wu Family from Nandu, Wu Dazun, Shen Peishen’s assistant, Cheng Liu, was holding a secret discussion in the study.

One of Shen Peishen’s closest confidantes, a true trusted aide.

Cheng Liu was commissioned to negotiate a "collaboration" with Wu Dazun, or rather with the Wu Family, a deal not to be disclosed publicly.

It was nearly concluded by now.

Wu Dazun, a shrewd businessman indeed, had a knack for negotiation, even though it wasn’t a regular business cooperation.

He skillfully laid plans and probed step by step, raising the terms of the cooperation to a level that he was highly satisfied with yet just bearable to the other party, squeezing them painfully.

This old slick, indeed a tough opponent to handle.

This made Cheng Liu inwardly sigh.

Had it not been for Mr. Shen Peishen’s personal instructions before his departure, he would genuinely find it hard to make substantial progress in a single negotiation.

"With Mr. Shen’s capabilities and influence, this matter could actually be handled without involving any of us outsiders."

The negotiation concluded.

The terms proposed by Wu Dazun were met, which would undoubtedly allow his Wu Family to profit tremendously.

Satisfactorily, Wu Dazun poured Cheng Liu a cup of tea and seemingly chatted casually.

"We get involved just for convenience, involving Mr. Wu naturally aims for ’cleanliness’."

Cheng Liu chuckled.

"My Mr. Shen is the Senior Affairs Officer of the Zhenbei Group in the Greater China Region, his actions must consider their impact."

"Moreover, here in Nandu, and even across the neighboring three provinces, the Wu Family reigns supreme. Handling these matters is effortlessly within our grasp."

Cheng Liu’s smile included, seemed to casually continue the "small talk" sparked by Wu Dazun.

"Mr. Cheng is too polite with his words, calling us a big fish when we are hardly more than a small fry."

Wu Dazun burst into hearty laughter, then half-jokingly, half-seriously said, "Mr. Shen really trusts Mr. Wu here, aren’t you afraid with this initial cooperation..."

Wu Dazun leaned in closer, smiling broadly, lowering his voice a bit, "that our secret plotted today might leak out!"

"If this gets out, it’ll be shocking especially at your Zhenbei Group Greater China Region Headquarters."

Wu Dazun returned to his seat, his voice increased slightly, seemingly in wonderment.

"Just think, a Senior Affairs Officer plotting with meticulous care against a lower Affairs Officer, using outsiders nonetheless."

"This case even involves another Senior Affairs Officer!"

"Wow, if people in your Zhenbei Group Greater China Region Headquarters learn about this, it will definitely cause a sensation!"

Saying this, Wu Dazun laughed but his eyes were fixed intently on Cheng Liu, watching for the slightest change in his expression.

Observing and reading expressions.

Sometimes, it isn’t just a way for the subordinate to protect themselves against superiors, but also a part of the negotiation battle.

Although the terms of cooperation were mostly agreed upon, Wu Dazun still wanted to test if...

he could leverage this "joke" to squeeze out a bit more profit.

Facing this "threat" from Wu Dazun, Cheng Liu remained cool and composed.

He even picked up the tea that Wu Dazun had poured for him and drank it leisurely.

Since we’re cooperating with the Wu Family, mentioning something substantial was inevitable.

Wu Dazun wanting to build on this, though it might not really lead him to betray secrets, anticipating threats was expected.

All these reactions, my mentor Mr. Shen Peishen has foreseen. Ah, Wu Dazun, the skinflint merchant of Nandu, your reputation truly precedes you.

Cheng Liu also felt a hint of admiration internally.

He put down his cup, and then leisurely said,

"Mr. Wu, the terms we have offered are not low. That’s about enough, you wouldn’t want the Wu Family to hog profits for three years, would you? As a major businessman, remember the principle of steady and sustainable business."

"We sincerely collaborate, hence we’re candid with you. Informing you is one part trust and one part fearlessness."

"If you could send what we discussed straight to Mr. Xiahou Qi’s desk at our Zhenbei Group Greater China Region Headquarters, I, Cheng, would truly admire you."

"But would it be useful? Will Mr. Xia pay you, or what?

"Even if this matter were exposed and caused a stir, how much would it impact Mr. Shen Peishen?

Cheng Liu chuckled, "Forsaking cooperation and not making money, but instead choosing to act this way, aren’t you afraid of a loss, Mr. Wu?"

"If you insist on making this unpleasant..." Cheng Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly, still smiling but the smile carried a hint of coldness.

"Then with Mr. Shen’s capability, the trouble Wu Family might face next could be an outright confrontation from many enterprises of the Zhenbei Group in the Greater China Region!"

"Would that be... good?!"

In the midst of his smile, Cheng Liu had effectively issued his threat.

And these threatening words sounded as if he were merely stating facts.

It was simply a negotiation with a knife held to one’s neck.

Wu Dazun’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he burst into laughter.

"Just now, I was merely joking with Mr. Cheng, a harmless joke. I, Wu, have long admired Mr. Shen, will devote myself wholly to this collaboration! In the future, I hope for enduring cooperation with Mr. Shen. If you need anything in Nandu, feel free to ask!"

Wu Dazun expressed his sincerity earnestly, hinting that betrayal was out of the question.

Cheng Liu smiled.

He also softened his tone, claiming it was all in jest, hoping Wu Dazun wouldn’t mind.

After tense moments where both parties were on edge, the atmosphere relaxed once again.

In the room next to the study,

Wu Yangwei lay sprawled on a sofa, with a cold boiled egg on his left eye, and a bag of ice held to his face with his right hand.

Wang Nanbei’s nose was swollen, fortunately not bleeding anymore, but he still grimaced, pressing an ice pack against his face.
