Pansy Ho originally wanted to go along, but was stopped by Shen Fang. Although the second young master Wang did have power, he wasn't afraid. Besides, he was indeed a man of strong character.

Yongfu Club, VIP room.

This is where the most extravagant people in Shanghai dine. Just like Huanghe Road back then, the people who eat here aren't there to eat, but to discuss business. Shanghai's elite and the wealthiest people come here to negotiate business and hold business banquets.

This place was once a consulate, later transformed by China's first designer whose vision was to make it the most luxurious and top-tier restaurant in Shanghai. It's not just the decor and service; the decorative items and artifacts everywhere are genuine antiques.

A membership card costs 50,000 yuan. You need an invitation to enter if you're not a member, but Young Master Wang doesn't need to make a reservation in advance to eat here.

"Mr. Shen, you're the first person who's ever dared to be so rude to me." Young Master Wang toyed with the wine glass in his hand, looking at Shen Fang with amusement.

Shen Fang chuckled: "What do you mean by that?"

I want to develop that piece of land along the river.

Shen Fang shook his head: "Young Master Wang, that piece of land is not going to be given to you. We paid a high price to acquire the land on Binjiang Road. It wasn't just about building connections and spending money, but also about the manpower and resources of our group."

"You're not going to give me face?"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Can you tell me why you want that piece of land? Is it because of the money? As far as I know, the Second Young Master doesn't seem to care that much about money."

"Among the social classes of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, I'm at the very top. Don't you think I'd ever lower myself to my status?"

"Then please tell me your reasons, Second Young Master." Shen Fang lit a cigarette.

The social classes of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants in the past were a generalization. However, in today's society, money is the ultimate measure of success. But China is not a capitalist country. Having money does not necessarily mean having power, but having power certainly means having money. This is a natural rule.

"I made a promise to a woman, and I will give her a commitment."

"What kind of woman has such great charm? I'm quite curious."

Wang Ershao's face revealed a unique expression: "She's incredibly cute, and although she's in the entertainment industry, she's different from others. She's optimistic, positive, and hardworking. She's incredibly dedicated to acting, but she just hasn't had any good roles. Her acting is exceptional, really; even I think it's real. She's truly unique, she..."

The saying "rich families breed romantics" seems to be true; Young Master Wang is exactly like one now. He seems to be completely infatuated with Li Yu.

"I've always wanted to help her, but she's refused all my kindness. She's refused money, cars, medical care, and resources. I've never met a woman like her before. We fell in love, and I loved her unconditionally. But she's ill, with a very serious illness. I've consulted many renowned doctors both domestically and internationally, and they all tell me she doesn't have much time left. At best, she might have five more years. She's only 23! I want to be with her forever, I want to marry her, but I can't do it! I can't!!!!"

"Understood."

"So I want to build a kingdom that belongs to her. I want to take over a piece of land along the river. Her wish is to find a place facing the sea, where spring is warm and flowers bloom."

Shen Fang laughed: "Then you should go to Dali, Yunnan, Second Young Master Wang. Why are you bothering me here?"

Young Master Wang rolled his eyes: "I don't know anyone in Yunnan. I want to build a little kingdom that belongs to her in my city."

"You don't understand!!!"

Shen Fang... I don't understand? You're shameless! I spent 500 million yuan of real money to get that piece of land.

"Young Master Wang, how about this? I'm willing to be your friend. I can build you a 1,000-square-meter detached villa in the heart of that land, completely privately owned by you. You won't have to pay a single penny. I bought the land with 500 million yuan of real money. It's not something you can just have as you wish. You know my background very well. If you really wanted to mess with me, you would have done it already."

"There are two options. One is for you to spend 1 billion to buy this piece of land from me, and I will also give an explanation to the other shareholders. The other is what I just said, and I can't give it to you for free."

Young Master Wang laughed in anger: "You want me to pay 1 billion?!?!?!?"

Shen Fang shrugged: "Otherwise what? What, you want to take it by force? I'm not afraid of you at all. Don't forget that I'm registered in the central government and I control the largest media company in the country. The cultural departments in Beijing, the Beijing circle, and all those old-timers have connections with me. The governor also supports me. You have no chance of winning if you go head-to-head with me. There's no need to waste your time."

Young Master Wang was speechless: "Aren't you afraid I'll cause you trouble? Even if I can't do anything to you, if I want to cause you some trouble, I think you'll still have a lot of headaches."

Shen Fang chuckled: "Second Young Master, are you that foolish? You know it's a pointless endeavor, yet you still do it. Isn't that a waste of time?"

"That's not necessarily true. I just don't like you and want to annoy you," Young Master Wang said with amusement as he looked at Shen Fang.

Shen Fang shrugged: "Then I have no choice but to accept it. If the Second Young Master wants to teach me a lesson, I can accept it, as long as it's not too excessive. I'm a fairly stable person."

"Hehe, President Shen is really an interesting person."

"The same goes for the Second Young Master."

"1000 square meters is too small. I have 80 million yuan in funds and want to get on your bandwagon. Don't even think about refusing me, or I'll definitely cause you trouble. Promise me that in Shanghai, I'll handle everything for you. You should know that this place is full of hidden talents; it's even more treacherous than Beijing!!!"

Shen Fang stroked his chin. What Wang Yu said was true. This place was a real melting pot of all sorts of people. There were Hong Kong businessmen, Taiwanese businessmen, foreigners, and locals. In addition, there were legacy issues from the past. Shanghai was indeed a very complicated city. The Wang family was considered the most powerful local force in this place.

There are some things that really do require the help of this kind of person.

"Deal made, but you only have investment rights, no official position, and you won't be involved in the project. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm really a hands-off manager of the real estate projects here. The main people in charge are those two strong women you see."

"Give me an honorary advisor position. I also want to use this opportunity to boost the reputation of your Longteng Real Estate."

"no problem."

"You promised me a detached villa, don't forget that," Young Master Wang said with a smile.

Shen Fang's lips curled into a slight smile as he raised his middle finger: "Damn it, you're truly shameless!!!"

Young Master Wang laughed loudly: "Likewise."

The two raised their glasses and clinked them together.
