That evening, Gao Yan arrived as invited.
As the richest man in Yangdong, Wang Wanlin naturally wouldn't choose just any restaurant to host a dinner party.
It was inside a villa.
The chef was the famous Sichuan cuisine master Tan Bolin, and the food was served by young and beautiful women dressed in cheongsams.
During the meal, two pretty girls with pure and innocent looks were specially arranged to serve us.
One person helped him pick up food, while the other poured them drinks.
If Gao Yan weren't so unaccustomed to it, he could have been fed directly into his mouth.
For a moment, Gao Yan couldn't help but sigh that the lives of the rich were too decadent.
Of course, he wasn't envious; he just found it novel.
Once the novelty wears off, it just seems so-so.
After the meal.
They moved into the tea room, where a mature and charming tea master gracefully demonstrated his tea ceremony.
"Old Wang, you didn't just pull this stunt to invite me to dinner, did you?"
Gao Yan asked with a smile.
Upon hearing Gao Yan's address, the tea master paused slightly before quickly regaining his composure. Wang Wanlin was the richest man in Yangdong, yet this young man addressed him as "Old Wang," showing no respect whatsoever. Either the young man was too arrogant, or he was of extraordinary status.
However, judging from Wang Wanlin's expression, it should belong to the second category.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from Mr. Gao!"
Wang Wanlin said with a smile.
At Wei Yushen's birthday banquet, the two met for a while. Gao Yan was not used to being called Grandmaster Gao. He originally asked Wang Wanlin to just call him Gao Yan, but the other party compromised and called him Mr. Gao.
"Sir, please have some tea!"
The tea master presented Gao Yan with a cup of freshly brewed tea.
"Thanks!"
After accepting a cup of tea, Wang Wanlin raised his cup to Gao Yan before continuing, "I heard that Mr. Gao is planning to build a private estate. Our Wanlong Group also has a construction company. Would Mr. Gao like to give us a chance?"
In fact, Gao Yan had already guessed Wang Wanlin's intention in inviting him to dinner.
The main reason he excluded Wanlong Group was that he had a conflict with Deng Yu, whose father was a shareholder of Wanlong Group.
After a moment's hesitation, he said loudly, "Old Wang, with such a large corporation like yours, do you really need such a small project from me?"
"Mr. Gao, you're too modest. If a 20 billion project is considered a small project, then what would be considered a big project?"
Wang Wanlin flattered, then suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, there will be some personnel changes in our group recently. Old Deng should retire!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan revealed a meaningful expression.
Clearly, Wang Wanlin had done some investigation on him before contacting him, and knew that he had a conflict with Deng Yu.
He instantly understood that Wang Wanlin didn't actually want the project that much; he just wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to him.
The purpose of forging closer ties was to intimidate the Deng family.
The Deng family holds 17 percent of the shares in Wanlong Group, making them the absolute majority shareholder.
Moreover, the rise of Wanlong Group was inseparable from the investment of the Deng family.
Therefore, it was not as easy or simple as Wang Wanlin imagined to kick the Deng family out of the game.
Therefore, we need to rely on external forces.
After Wei Yushen's birthday banquet, the business tycoons of Yangdong all knew that Gao Yan was an even more terrifying force than the Wei family.
Coincidentally, Wang Wanlin also discovered that Gao Yan and Deng Yu had a grudge.
This gave Wang Wanlin an opportunity to kick the Deng family out of Wanlong Group, which led to tonight's dinner party.
"Mr. Wang, you've got a good plan!"
Gao Yan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said with a half-smile.
Feeling Gao Yan's gaze, Wang Wanlin felt as if he had been seen through, and a layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He originally thought that Gao Yan was young, and even if he was strong in martial arts, he might not be able to compare with him in terms of scheming and methods.
It now appears that this young grandmaster is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also far wiser than ordinary people, easily seeing through his schemes.
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of panic and quickly said, "Mr. Gao, I was wrong. I will punish myself with three drinks!"
He smiled but remained silent.
Under his gaze, Wang Wanlin drank three cups of tea in succession. Although the tea master remained calm, he was quite shocked inside.
"Alright, I won't hold it against you. As for the project, you can talk to Sister Yun yourself or send someone to discuss it!" Gao Yan said.
If Wang Wanlin wanted to leverage his influence, he naturally had to make some sacrifices.
Therefore, when undertaking the project, the price will definitely be lower than that of Hengda and Huatie, and he also believes that Wang Wanlin will put a lot of effort into this project.
This is also why Gao Yan doesn't argue with the other party.
Besides, he'd be happy to see Wang Wanlin kick the Deng family out of the game.
Upon hearing Gao Yan's words, Wang Wanlin was overjoyed: "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for giving me this opportunity. Please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future!"
"Okay, I'll remember that. I'll definitely contact you if I need anything in the future. It's getting late, so I'll head back now!"
"I send you!"
After seeing Gao Yan off, Wang Wanlin returned to the tea room and said to the tea master, "Everything I saw today must remain buried in my stomach!"
His words immediately stifled the tea master's curiosity, as she had originally wanted to find out who Gao Yan was.
Are you tired? Why don't you lie down and I'll give you a massage?
The tea master spoke gently.
Wang Wanlin nodded, lay down on the tea master's lap, and closed his eyes to think.
This tea master was no ordinary tea master; she also had another identity: Wang Wanlin's lover.
On the way back.
Gao Yan was also reminiscing about tonight's dinner.
Not everyone can succeed easily.
