You Shenyu said meaningfully, "So, that's why you want to get to know Shanshan, and want to... get to know me, right?"
Li Zishan looked at Chen Tinghan, and Chen Tinghan caught this out of the corner of his eye.
What a troublesome woman, she only asks questions that hit close to home.
Li Zishan looks careless and fills herself with snacks like a hamster all day long, as if she is not thinking about anything, but she is actually a very smart and sharp girl.
If his casual answer went wrong, it would seem that Chen Tinghan's approach to Li Zishan had ulterior motives. If this caused Li Zishan to be disgusted, not only would the deal fail, he might also lose the girl's trust.
That would be a case of losing both the wife and the army.
Chen Tinghan put down his teacup and said calmly, "The reason I'm selling this business to you is almost like entrusting it to you. Of course, it's not because I trust you, and I don't mean to offend you. It's just that before this, we had never even met, so there was naturally no basis for trust."
He looked at Li Zishan and said, "The only thing I can confirm is her character. I can confirm that the money will at least reach her hands."
"You're quite the talker." You Shenyu smiled. "What does that mean? Can it prove you're a reliable partner? Like you said, you have nothing."
"This is a token of your loyalty, giving you reason to trust my abilities." Chen Tinghan struck while the iron was hot, adding, "Besides, if you want to go it alone, I'm afraid there will be considerable resistance. A student taking on some small-scale clothing outsourcing orders is completely different from a factory directly intervening in all the universities in the city. So, you need the cover of being a student, and I'm a perfect fit."
You Shenyu shook his head and said, "It's the same with other students. We can rely on Shanshan alone."
"I won't help the evil." Li Zishan rolled his eyes.
Chen Tinghan said calmly, "Before I graduate next year, there will probably be no one in Wanghai who can better manage the student channel than me."
"Yes, I can testify." Li Zishan immediately joined in.
You Shenyu was so angry that he pinched her little face.
Then the room fell into silence. You Shenyu exhaled smoke rings. In the smoke, her expression was hazy and blurred, making it difficult to see clearly.
As for Li Zishan, the little girl's face was red, and no one knew what she was thinking.
It took a full five minutes before she gave her final verdict.
You Shenyu was as gentle as ever. She poured him a cup of tea and said, "I can guarantee that no one will interfere with this business. But you played a crucial role here and set a good example, so we'll split the profits 50-50."
This doesn't mean the deal has been concluded, but rather a rejection, keeping him at a distance, only talking about the current profits, not long-term cooperation.
Chen Tinghan leaned back on the stiff chair and sighed tiredly.
Facing Li Zishan's worried gaze, Chen Tinghan forced a smile and stopped pestering her. "The food is getting cold, why don't we eat?"
You Shenyu showed a satisfied smile.
......
After that, the worry on Li Zishan's face didn't disappear, it just hid it. They chatted with Chen Tinghan idly, talking about trivial family matters, school, study, and life.
She was like a most sensible elder, silently watching the interaction between the two.
Time dissolves in peace and joy, and before you know it, the evening clouds disappear and the setting sun appears.
The meeting ended with an ambiguous "both host and guest had a great time" and soon ended. Chen Tinghan, upholding the spirit of a gentleman, sent the two women to the parking lot.
Li Zishan got into the car first, took out his cell phone and waved it at him, meaning they could talk later.
You Shenyu offered to give Chen Tinghan a ride, but he refused. Just as You Shenyu was about to get in the car, Chen Tinghan stopped her.
"Please stay. Can I have a few more minutes of your time?"
You Shenyu looked at him meaningfully, closed the car door, walked out, and Chen Tinghan followed closely behind.
After a brief silence, You Shenyu said, "It just so happens that there are some things I need to say away from that girl."
"Yes." Chen Tinghan responded.
She teased, "Do you like her?"
Chen Tinghan was stunned for a moment, unsure how to react, and could only smile wryly. You Shenyu said, "Don't be reserved or shy. Romance isn't just for kids your age."
"It's just." She changed the subject and said solemnly, "I don't think you are suitable."
Chen Tinghan naturally didn't have that intention, but he still took over the conversation and asked with a smile: "What's inappropriate?"
"Because you are not honest." You Shenyu said with a smile.
Chen Tinghan lowered his eyelashes and said, "I am indeed dishonest. I always like to hide things, so now I want to be frank with you about some things."
"you say."
"About some of the things you encountered in Pu Town in the early years."
You Shenyu paused, the smile on her face disappeared little by little, replaced by fear, and finally turned into burning danger. She stared at Chen Tinghan, her hand having quietly put it into her shoulder bag.
"Who are you, Wang Kai's man?"
"No, to avoid unnecessary physical conflict, please don't use the thing in your bag."
You Shenyu took a deep breath and said, "Are you threatening me?"
"No." Chen Tinghan shook his head and said, "If one day in the future, I am faced with the choice of either harming you and Shanshan or dying, I will choose the latter without hesitation."
You Shenyu looked at Chen Tinghan, completely confused as to where his sincere concern came from.
"You can think of me as Wang Kai's enemy." Chen Tinghan revealed his identity directly and said, "For some reasons, I can't rest easy until he's dead, so I'm investigating the dirty deeds Wang Kai did back then. I found some clues along the way, which may lead to you being exposed to Wang Kai's sight."
Being targeted by Wang Kai... You Shenyu shuddered and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Burn that document," Chen Tinghan said. "The contents inside won't kill Wang Kai and the people behind him, and it could easily lead to disaster. As for the traces you left in Pu Town, I'll take care of them."
Looking at his calm face, You Shenyu felt a little relaxed for some reason.
She lit a cigarette, and in the smoke, she asked deeply: "Why do you want to investigate Wang Kai? Don't fool me."
"You must have checked my background," Chen Tinghan said. "You probably also know that the village-to-resort project that Wang Kai recently wanted to acquire involves a place called Cheng Village, and my mother's last name is Cheng."
The two looked at each other in silence. Chen Tinghan didn't want to go to this point, but he really had no other choice.
You Shenyu quickly calmed down and asked, "What do you want?"
"It's still cooperation." Chen Tinghan said calmly.
