Ji Pengfei then changed the subject, turning the conversation to work.
Chairman Shen frowned, somewhat embarrassed: "Brother Ji, I haven't decided yet, but I definitely have to give you face..."
Ji Pengfei immediately followed up, "Brother Shen, ZN has indeed been doing quite well recently, but don't forget when they were still called Changhua. Although they've survived now, there's no guarantee they won't be on the verge of bankruptcy again in the future."
"Unlike our Ji family, which has stood strong for so many years, Brother Shen, you can't just focus on the present; you should also consider the bigger picture..."
If we take Ji Pengfei's statement as an example, ZN, which almost went bankrupt, is indeed not as stable as the Ji family, which has remained so for so many years.
But ZN is developing too fast, and Chairman Shen is worried that if he doesn't choose ZN this time, he might not be qualified to climb up to them in the future...
Seeing that Chairman Shen still wasn't going to budge, Ji Pengfei grew anxious: "Brother Shen, you should understand me. I'm not young anymore, and I don't have a son. I just want to make some money to earn some dowry for my two daughters, Xiaxia and Nannan... Sigh!"
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "Nan Nan" as a subtle reminder.
As expected, Chairman Shen hesitated again.
Judging from her son's obsession with the Ji family's youngest daughter, the boy has probably already set his sights on her.
If we cooperate with the Ji family, after my son marries a daughter of the Ji family, half of the Ji family will be considered my son's property.
Good money-making projects should be kept among family members, not given to outsiders...
But……
Chairman Shen was extremely conflicted and didn't know what to do for a moment. He rubbed his temples in frustration and said to Ji Pengfei, "Okay, I understand. Let me think about it some more. I'll talk to you when I've made up my mind."
Ji Pengfei also knew that he couldn't push Chairman Shen too hard, otherwise it would backfire.
So he wisely stood up and said, "Alright, Brother Shen, think it over carefully. Whatever decision you make, I will respect it."
The last two sentences were clearly just polite remarks; he naturally hoped that the Shen family would cooperate with his own company.
Chairman Shen nodded: "Alright, I won't see Brother Ji off."
Ji Pengfei exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving.
Just as he opened the door, Chairman Shen's secretary came in. Ji Pengfei didn't think much of it and walked out of the office into the elevator, so he didn't hear what the secretary said to Chairman Shen after entering the office.
"Chairman, Mr. Xing Minggao, Vice Chairman of ZN Group, has arrived."
...
Two minutes later—
The secretary led Xing Minggao in.
Chairman Shen quickly stood up and shook hands with Xing Minggao: "Brother Xing, you didn't even tell me you were coming. I was quite surprised when my secretary told me you were here."
Xing Minggao's gaze fell on the sofa, then he noticed the two cups of tea on the table, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
He looked away, shook hands with Chairman Shen, and said with a smile, "I just finished discussing a project and happened to be passing by, so I came to check it out."
In the business world, people always offer insincere concern in return for each other's visits, so Chairman Shen didn't believe Xing Minggao's words.
It would be strange if a deputy director suddenly came to see him.
Moreover, Chairman Shen knew exactly why.
So Chairman Shen pretended not to understand and asked, "Brother Xing, I'm looking for you...is there something you need?"
“Yes.” Xing Minggao admitted without hesitation: “But it wasn’t me. It was our ZN chief commander, the current executive chairman, who had something to discuss with Brother Shen.”
Upon hearing this, Chairman Shen froze on the spot.
