Chapter 317: Transaction Begins
"...What?" Lu Yibai's tone was still a little confused, and he obviously hadn't realized that he had been tricked.
"Eh..." Xie Zhaoyuan sighed deliberately. He was clearly trying to hold back a smile, but he pretended to look distressed.
"Mr. Lu, don't you know yet? I was the one who told Pei Xingzhi about your collusion with Fang Bo. If I hadn't said anything, Pei Xingzhi probably wouldn't have suspected you until now."
"You--" Lu Yibai's voice changed instantly. The gentleness and patience just now disappeared without a trace, leaving only his usual hostility.
"How do you know about what happened between Fang Bo and me? Who told you?"
Xie Zhaoyuan raised his chin slightly, with a proud look on his face: "No one told me, I knew it myself."
"How could you possibly know that?" Lu Yibai gritted his teeth and said, "The only people who know about this are Qin Sisi and I!"
Xie Zhaoyuan: "Do you think Qin Sisi will tell me?"
"..." Lu Yibai was silent.
Xie Zhaoyuan curled his lips and chuckled: "Qin Sisi is your accomplice, how could she tell me this? And if Pei Xingzhi wants to rescue Fang Bo from you, he must suspect you as early as possible. At that time, Qin Sisi and you were not in trouble yet, so she had no reason to tell me such a thing."
"Lu Yibai, do you understand?"
Of course Lu Yibai understood.
Pei Xingzhi has already captured Fang Bo and got everything he wanted. Even if Qin Sisi wanted to join him and exchange Fang Bo for a future, she no longer has the chance.
So Pei Xingzhi must have been eyeing him for a long time, and this also shows that Xie Zhaoyuan did not lie to him, she really knew it herself.
"How could you possibly know this?" Lu Yibai couldn't figure it out. "I didn't tell you, Qin Sisi didn't tell you, and Fang Bo certainly didn't tell you. How could you possibly know this when no one told you?"
"Humph," Xie Zhaoyuan laughed, his tone full of pride, "Boss Lu, don't worry about how I knew this. The most important thing now is to negotiate the deal between us, right?"
"..." Lu Yibai neither denied nor accepted it.
But for Xie Zhaoyuan, as long as he didn't hang up the phone, it meant he still wanted to continue listening.
So Xie Zhaoyuan continued: "Mr. Lu, this matter is not a private matter between you and Pei Xingzhi, but a matter between us. I have the right to participate in it."
"If you want to resolve this matter quickly, you'd better tell me now. What I mean is what Pei Xingzhi means. After the meeting with him, I will relay the content of this phone call to him in full. Please rest assured, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yibai hesitated for a moment, and neither agreed nor disagreed. He just asked with a smile, "Do you know what Pei Xingzhi wants?"
"Of course I know!" Xie Zhaoyuan said firmly, "I am Pei Xingzhi's wife and the mother of his son. I know everything he is thinking."
"Mr. Lu can rest assured to do business with me."
"...Okay." Lu Yibai gritted his teeth and agreed.
The longer Fang Bo lives, the more danger he will be in. As long as this thorny problem can be solved quickly, it doesn't make much difference whether he makes a deal with Pei Xingzhi or Xie Zhaoyuan.
"Tell me, what do you want?" he asked directly.
Xie Zhaoyuan raised an eyebrow at Pei Xingzhi, wanting to ask for his opinion, but he unexpectedly spread his hands and mouthed to Xie Zhaoyuan: "You are free to play."
"...Okay." Xie Zhaoyuan took on the task reluctantly.
"Ahem..." She cleared her throat, her mind raced, and a bad idea instantly came to her mind.
"Mr. Lu, where are you now?" she asked casually.
Lu Yibai answered honestly: "I'm in Lu Group."
Xie Zhaoyuan: "How about this, Mr. Lu, you come out of the Lu Group first, then take a taxi to the Brilliant Plaza in the city center, and we'll meet there."
"……ah?"
Lu Yibai could barely understand going to Brilliant Plaza to meet, but what did Xie Zhaoyuan mean by specifically emphasizing that he should take a taxi there?
"Why should I take a taxi? Can't I drive myself?"
"Mr. Lu, can you drive around with the cars under your name now?" Xie Zhaoyuan said nonsense in a serious tone, "Your cars are either Bentleys or Porsches. You can drive around with any of them and it will be a big hit!"
"After all, what we want to discuss cannot be made public. Is it really appropriate for you to be so high-profile?"
"This..." Lu Yibai hesitated.
Xie Zhaoyuan immediately added: "The more shameful it is, the more low-key we should be. Dress simply and take a humble Didi car. This way, no one will notice us."
"...Do we have to take a taxi?" Lu Yibai was not very willing. "I should be able to borrow a car from my employees."
"Of course not!" Xie Zhaoyuan rejected it outright. "Lu's Group is now at the center of controversy. There are so many eyes in Yuncheng watching us. If a car leaves Lu's Group at this moment, I'm sure those gossip reporters and nosy netizens will follow closely! Our deal will definitely fall through then!"
"So for safety's sake, I suggest that Mr. Lu sneak out of the Lu Group, hide in a corner and take a Didi car."
"What do you think?"
"...Okay." Although he was not very willing, Lu Yibai had to admit that what Xie Zhaoyuan said made sense.
"Then I'll leave now. Where shall we meet then?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: "I'm at Brilliant Plaza now. I'll tell you the detailed address when you get there."
"Okay." Lu Yibai agreed, "I'll take a taxi now, you can keep the phone open at any time."
"No problem!" Xie Zhaoyuan pursed his lips to hold back a smile, "The things Fang Bo gave me are all on Pei Xingzhi's computer. I'll just take this opportunity to ask Pei Xingzhi's assistant to sort them out and send them to me."
"Once the deal is done, they will be at your disposal."
Lu Yibai: “Yeah.”
Then he hung up the phone.
"Why do you want him to go to Brilliant Plaza?" Pei Xingzhi didn't understand Xie Zhaoyuan's intention.
Xie Zhaoyuan returned the phone to him, with a naughty and cute smile on his face: "He was doing nothing, and suddenly wanted to ask him to come over to see how the construction of Brilliant Plaza was going."
"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi frowned in confusion, and his eyes fell on Xie Zhaoyuan with obvious inquiry.
Xie Zhaoyuan didn't explain, he just looked at him and smiled. He thought about it for a while and then understood what Xie Zhaoyuan wanted to do.
"Hey... you, you." He raised his hand and scratched the tip of Xie Zhaoyuan's nose, "You little rascal, you are the one with the most tricks!"
"Hmph!" Xie Zhaoyuan was not angry at all, but rather quite proud.
"Pei Xingzhi, I'm hungry, please take me to eat quickly."
