At the dinner table, the group of people looked at each other, their expressions slightly tense.
One of the more straightforward people was the first to speak up.
"The Gu family did approach my family, seeking cooperation, but of course we refused."
As soon as he admitted it, the other person echoed him.
"They also approached my family, but we firmly refused their offer of cooperation. After all, our two families have been friends for two or three decades, and there's no way we would cooperate with the Gu family."
"Yes, given our relationship with the Fu family, we absolutely cannot cooperate with the Gu family. Our family has also firmly refused."
...
After everyone had expressed their opinions, Fu Hanzheng glanced indifferently at the table of people.
Finally, the gaze fell upon Qin Lu.
"Qin Lu, what about you?"
"The Gu family approached the Qin family, but we refused," Qin Lu replied to everyone with the same answer.
Before Kuroda Shigeo approached him, he had contacted several families to avoid suspicion, but these were all just a smokescreen in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
His true target has always been himself.
The reason for contacting so many people was to prevent Fu Hanzheng from becoming suspicious and investigating. This way, he could remain hidden among the crowd and avoid arousing suspicion from the Fu family on this issue.
If one is truly meticulous and deep-thinking, it's no wonder that the Gu family's daughter has been able to compete with Fu Hanzheng in the business world for so many years without being able to gain the upper hand.
Fu Hanzheng's gaze suddenly sharpened like a knife. "But you've seen this more than once."
In China, he can always find out anything he wants to know.
At first, he really didn't expect Kuroda Shigeo to come to them.
However, he believes that most people wouldn't have the guts to cooperate with the Gu family.
However, Qin Lu had met Kuroda Shio twice, which made him a little concerned.
In particular, he was also because Vivi had always been hostile towards him.
"He wouldn't give up and tried to persuade me, but I refused," Qin Lu said without changing his expression.
"Really?" Fu Hanzheng looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.
Qin Lu looked at the other person with an open and honest gaze, without offering any further explanation for himself.
He knew very well that the more he explained to this person, the more suspicious he would become, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Fu Hanzheng remained silent, and the others, intimidated by him, dared not utter a sound.
The private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop when the door was pushed open from the outside.
Qin Man, dressed in a business suit, entered and gave a quick glance.
"Oh, you're all here today?"
"Wow, Mr. Fu, you're so busy with work, yet you still have the time to attend a dinner like this."
...
When it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, it's always Fu Shiqin and Fu Shiyi who get together with this group. Even Fu Hanzheng is here, so it's no wonder the atmosphere is so strange.
"Sister Qin Man, what brings you here?" someone asked in surprise.
Among their generation, Qin Man was the only one who dared to confront Fu Hanzheng head-on.
"I was having dinner with my colleagues here when I heard you were here, so I came over to say hello," Qin Man said.
Chaofangju is a famous private restaurant in the capital. Due to its privacy and excellent culinary skills, it is often the first choice for these people's private dinner parties.
Fu Hanzheng glanced at Qin Man, then stood up and said.
"The Gu family and the Fu family have always been irreconcilable enemies. It's best if you all understand this clearly."
Finally, their gaze fell upon Qin Lu.
Qin Man frowned and asked Fu Hanzheng.
“I know that the Gu family approached the Qin family, and we refused to cooperate. Your suspicion of them is a bit excessive.”
"It's not a matter of doubt. This meal today... is to thank you for giving the Fu family face." After saying this, Fu Hanzheng got up and left the table.
It was called a thank you, but it was actually a warning.
