Lu Fan sneered inwardly: This Shengjing Company really likes to rip people off.

He wasn't fooled and didn't act particularly enthusiastic, simply saying, "Okay, it's up to you. This matter can be arranged directly with my assistant secretary, Qiao."

Only assistants or secretaries are arranged to handle the meetings, rather than engaging in direct conversations.

It could be said that they were not very enthusiastic.

Gu Ru'an couldn't afford to be unhappy with Lu Fan, this potential buyer, and had to pretend to be overjoyed.

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll treat Mr. Lu to dinner once the acquisition is finalized."

Lu Fan gave a perfunctory smile, indifferent to the situation.

Originally thinking that his workday was over, Lu Fan continued to soak in the hot spring pool in his hotel room that evening, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility and relaxation.

Little did anyone know, Jiang Manyue's phone call came in at that very moment.

This girl even pretended to be indifferent, which startled Lu Fan:

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Manyue couldn't help but laugh, and burst out laughing:

"What, didn't your assistant report this to you?"

Lu Fan checked his phone but didn't find any messages from his assistant.

Jiang Manyue was delighted: "Haha, little assistant, your mouth is as tight as a clam shell, not bad."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan couldn't help but become curious:

"What? The company is in trouble right after I left?"

"Where did Sun Wukong come from, causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace?"

Jiang Manyue snorted and said disdainfully:

"Sun Wukong doesn't count; at most, it's just a White Bone Demon who came along."

These words left Lu Fan even more confused.

Fortunately, Jiang Manyue didn't call to interrogate him. After a few words, he explained that Gu Ying had come to the company to find him.

Lu Fan didn't have a good impression of Gu Ying and wondered why she chose today to go to the company.

"Did she say anything? That shouldn't be the case. Gu Ying has my contact information."

Lu Fan affirmed:

"Even if it's a new collaborative project, it shouldn't be Gu Ying coming over to make the announcement. There's still no word from Kuang Peisheng."

Once the money is invested, it will take at least several months to see any results.

Lu Fan has no interest in contacting his other partners in the short term.

Gu Ying just happened to show up, and Lu Fan had a feeling that she came with ill intentions. His analysis made Jiang Manyue shake her head on the other end of the phone:

"She came here without a purpose? I think you're the fool."

Hearing Jiang Manyue's certainty, Lu Fan found it strange:

"What is her purpose? How could I not know? Besides, if I don't know, how could you know?"

Jiang Manyue wasn't confused by his words and quietly rolled her eyes: "To put it in metaphysical terms, this is a woman's sixth sense." "However, she came with great force, so there's really no need to rely on metaphysics to guess." Lu Fan laughed: "Okay, without metaphysics, then tell me why she came."

Jiang Manyue said calmly, "You! Of course it's for you. You idiot!" Lu Fan didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from laughing heartily, teasing Jiang Manyue about whether she was jealous.

“I’ve only met her twice, how could she be doing this for me? Besides, her current status is that of the eldest grandson of the Wang family’s fiancée, and the wedding date has already been set.”

Lu Fan shook his head helplessly, still feeling that Jiang Manyue was overthinking things.

Jiang Manyue snorted and scoffed at him:

"She came for you, or she came because of your identity..."

"The marriage contract with the Wang family is a bargaining chip she can use to make a deal, so why can't it be a bargaining chip to make a deal with others? In Gu Ying's view, the marriage contract is ultimately just a commodity to be sold at a higher price."

"Now that you understand this, let me ask you, what do you think of Wang Ye? Is he comparable to you?"

What does Lu Fan think? Even if it's not his opinion, most people still think Lu Fan is more capable.

He owns two large conglomerates with numerous subsidiaries.

They were nowhere near as good as Wang Ye, a young master who relied on his family's inheritance to show off his wealth.

The only thing that makes them better than Lu Fan is that they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

But in the eyes of a woman like Gu Ying who wanted to stir up trouble.

The advantages of having a large family backing you are far less than those of a young talent who starts from scratch and builds their own success!

This applies to both Gu Ying and the Gu family.

Lu Fan is a more suitable marriage partner than Wang Ye, provided that Jiang Manyue, the wife of Lu, does not exist.

Once you understand this, you'll understand why Gu Ying always personally goes to Jiang Manyue's house to provoke her alone.

Lu Fan was secretly amazed by Jiang Manyue's analysis, but he had to admit that what she said made sense.

Once Lu Fan truly understood this, his goodwill towards Gu Ying diminished even further. Faced with such a formidable adversary, Jiang Manyue felt utterly helpless.

But she and Lu Fan's love was tested by hardship, and they had no major conflicts in their lives. They shared the same goals and ideals, making them a very happy couple who went from school uniforms to wedding dresses.

Jiang Manyue didn't consider Gu Ying a threat.

What she was worried about was that Gu Ying and even the Gu family might have other plans.
