After saying this, Shangguan Jianguo didn't say anything more. He naturally understood that Lu Fan's purpose in easing the tension between the two was to curry favor with them.

"I can only raise the issue for you; whether he's willing or not is his business and has nothing to do with me."

However, given your previous actions, it's hard to say whether he'll hold a grudge. I'll let you know after I've asked him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan quickly waved his hand.

"It's alright, I'll wait for your news. It's about time, I should go back and make some preparations for tonight's dinner."

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he turned and left. When he got home, he immediately made a phone call to arrange for the best five-star chef to come to his house to cook.

Although it's a family dinner, the standards and requirements absolutely cannot be low; we can't afford to lose face by inviting these two people to dinner.

Especially since their status is extremely precious, how could ordinary home-cooked dishes possibly replace them?

"Arrange for several people to come to my house to cook. Their culinary skills must be extremely high. Arrange for several chefs, and have two dishes from each cuisine."

All the fancy ingredients have been arranged; I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight!

Lu Fan told Secretary Ge about this and asked her to personally arrange the selection. She also knew which hotels in their area were good at cooking and what ingredients each hotel had.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Ge immediately realized that this matter was definitely not ordinary. He also knew that Lu Fan's personality meant that he was no ordinary person who could do this.

If you're inviting ordinary people to dinner, or even some CEOs, you'd normally go to a hotel.

Everyone knows that hotels inevitably lack a bit of human touch, but it's a different story at home.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away!"

After finishing all that, Lu Fan went out and took care of everything, making adjustments to the layout of the house and other aspects.

At the same time, he immediately notified Jiang Manyue and told her what had happened that night.

For something this important, he planned to come with Jiang Manyue to see if the two of them were willing to forgive him.

Or rather, he knew perfectly well that if Shangguan Jianguo invited the other party, he could definitely get them to come, and once they were properly entertained, doing whatever he wanted would be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Just as he finished dealing with the matter and sat down on the sofa, a phone call suddenly came in.

"Mr. Lu, there seems to be a small problem here. The other party is planning to make a large-scale move in the stock market."

I don't know why they suddenly increased my payment, and their staff has been steadily increasing lately.

Hearing this, Lu Fan frowned slightly. He hadn't expected the player to be so fast, having completely grasped the situation in just two days.

Judging from this, they're planning a major offensive next.

"You should have control of the company, right? Just keep things stable on your side and don't let the other side continue to develop."

If there are problems with the stock market or other issues, you can handle them as you see fit; it's not a big deal.

As for some minor fluctuations in the stock market, that's perfectly reasonable. As long as there isn't a large-scale plunge or a sudden surge, the market can remain stable.

The most crucial thing is to stabilize the situation and take over all of the other party's investments.

Even so, Lu Fan was still shocked. The other party's actions had already dragged him down, and he had to teach them a lesson. However, he couldn't be completely innocent, or he would become a pushover in the other party's eyes.

Moreover, at this crucial moment, the other party is constantly testing us. If a slight accident occurs, we might be able to discuss it, but we absolutely cannot allow them to act recklessly in the future.

"President Lu, I understand. From now on, we will do everything as you say and protect the company as much as possible. If anything unexpected happens, we will absolutely rather die than comply."

After all, Wang Dehu now understood the terrifying nature of those people. His interactions with them over this period, coupled with their reckless actions, had made it clear to everyone that there was absolutely no benefit in confronting them. Moreover, the current situation was far from simple; those two sentences might just change everything.

"President Lu, this matter is urgent, and the other party has asked me to hand over the entire company three times."

Furthermore, they plan to expand into other businesses during this period, and the certifications and industry standards for each business are also part of their plans.

Wang Dehu knew perfectly well that those people would never let him go. In the past, he might have had a sliver of hope, but now he was determined to eliminate them completely.

The Wang family will absolutely not let me go; they must annihilate me during this period.

Especially those guys, whose recent actions have completely enraged him, pushing his limits with every step.

"Just keep things stable on your side. I'll handle the rest. I'll put pressure on them in the short term. We absolutely can't let these people have it too easy."

Lu Fan knew clearly that he had to make these people realize who was the real protagonist in this area in a short time. Their leniency was unacceptable, no matter how much the Wang family invested in the future.

There are too many risks, and he doesn't want to take them.

After all, a slight misstep could backfire, which would be a huge loss. At this critical moment, both sides need to sever ties while also finding their own way out.

"Don't worry about this. I'll handle it gradually. As long as nothing unexpected happens, everything will proceed as normal."

With Lu Fan's assurance, Wang Dehu gradually calmed down.

"President Lu, please bear with everything and be lenient with me. There are still some company matters to handle here, and they are already formulating plans in the stock market."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and at the same time Lu Fan frowned.

However, he had more important things to do that evening, and besides, as long as he didn't break any bones, he could rest for a while first.

His ultimate idea is to let them attract even more energy behind the scenes, and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop. This is also the key he needs now.

"Damn it, they suddenly attacked at this time. Could it be that they have made new progress on their end too!"

At the same time, she confessed that she was somewhat worried about Sun Tao's current situation. She felt that if those people made any progress here, they would inevitably shift their focus back to him.

As for whether Sun Tao could hold on, he didn't know, nor did he know if they would be able to wait until he could completely resolve the situation here.
