Gu Ying was sent by Old Master Gu to make contact with Lu Fan.
Originally, Lu Fan was indifferent to the cooperation between the two parties; if they agreed, it would work out, and if they disagreed, it would break up.
Maintaining a delicate balance between Old Master Huang and Old Master Gu is difficult, but Gu Ying seems to have been sent by heaven to cause trouble for the Gu family.
She acted completely unpredictably, even displeasing Lu Fan several times, leading him to repeatedly postpone any cooperation between the two parties.
Now, Gu Ying has actually appeared beside Wang Ye.
Judging from what Kuang Peisheng and Wang Ye said, the Gu family seemed to be trying to arrange a marriage between her and Wang Ye, and the wedding invitations had already been printed.
As an enemy of the Wang family, Lu Fan hadn't heard a single word about it beforehand.
How can he cooperate with the other party under such circumstances?
Lu Fan sneered inwardly, but remained calm on the surface, acting entirely in a businesslike manner, and had no private conversation with Gu Ying whatsoever.
Kuang Peisheng stepped forward with a smile and said to Wang Ye, "We've been waiting for you. Come on, let's go inside and talk!"
The clubhouse is elegantly decorated and offers a variety of activities.
Everyone here is here to discuss business and meet with partners, so not many people are so carefree as to go out boating on the lake or playing ball.
When Kuang Peisheng arrived with his men, everyone was still waiting patiently in the private room.
"Everyone, this is President Lu, whom I mentioned to you before." Then, Lu Fan was introduced to everyone.
Lu Fan came to Nanshan City from Jinghai City to run his business, so he was not very familiar with the various circles in Nanshan City.
These people we're seeing now are probably the local bigwigs of Nanshan City.
After exchanging pleasantries, Gu Ying was the first to run over with a glass of red wine to join in the greeting:
"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be such a young and outstanding person. We will be business partners from now on, so please give me your guidance."
As Gu Ying spoke, she secretly winked playfully at Lu Fan in the dim light, looking quite adorable.
Lu Fan declined her offer, but Gu Ying's words had a double meaning—after all, the previous cooperation project between the Gu family and Lu Fan had not been able to move forward.
Now, through indirect means, Gu Ying has reached out to Wang Ye and Kuang Peisheng, and has still managed to achieve her goal of cooperating with Lu Fan.
Such scheming and tactics wouldn't make Lu Fan find them cute or cunning; he would only think the other person was cunning and foolish, and he didn't want his future partner to be someone like Gu Ying.
I also don't want to have any deeper communication with the other party.
So he said to Gu Ying with a forced smile:
"I wouldn't dare say that. In business, I've just been lucky enough to figure things out as I went along."
“If Miss Gu really wanted to learn some business skills, she shouldn’t have come to me.” “As far as I know, your fiancé is the heir of a large family, so his business experience is probably far more extensive than mine.”
Lu Fan completely ignored Gu Ying's words, which greatly annoyed the beauty.
Just then, Kuang Peisheng walked over and introduced Lu Fan to several old friends. Gu Ying took a deep breath and avoided them.
She didn't want people to discover that the Gu family and Lu Fan had a deeper connection before things had progressed at all.
However, her series of actions deepened Wang Ye's suspicions about Gu Ying and Lu Fan.
I suspect that everything from the project to the marriage alliance might be a conspiracy.
He observed silently.
After contacting everyone present, Lu Fan walked to a corner and spoke directly to the figure hiding there:
"Alright, stop hiding. I knew you were one of the investors as early as when Kuang Peisheng told me about the cooperation project."
The figure he pointed to was none other than Nangong Shou, who had previously competed with Lu Fan for land at the auction.
This guy hadn't expected Kuang Peisheng to actually manage to get Lu Fan to come. He gave Lu Fan an awkward smile, knowing there was no point in hiding any longer, so he forcibly changed the subject and started talking about something else:
"By the way, Brother Lu, I saw you talking to my cousin last time. Have you heard anything about him lately?"
Nangong Shou was referring to his cousin, Nangong Qun, who had changed his name to Li Qun.
Lu Fan glanced at Nangong Shou indifferently:
"Hmm, he's a good lad, at least he cares about his cousin." 370 immediately recognized the sarcasm in those words.
Nangong Shou's face flushed red, and he quickly explained that he was not a sycophantic person who would curry favor with the powerful and bully the weak:
"Well, these are all family decisions. How could we younger generation dare to go against our elders' wishes?"
"I did call my cousin during this time, but maybe because I called him so many times, he stopped answering my calls altogether."
Lu Fan's relationship with Li Qun is definitely deeper than his relationship with Nangong Shou.
He didn't say much about Li Qun's current situation, lest it reach the ears of the wrong people.
This will only add unnecessary trouble for Li Qun.
Lu Fan was planning to talk to the others.
Who knew that when Nangong Shou saw that Lu Fan didn't seem to care much about him, he immediately came up to him cheekily and whispered in Lu Fan's side, "Brother Lu, you'd better be careful with Kuang Peisheng."
Lu Fan's brow twitched.
He wasn't actually very familiar with these powerful figures in Nanshan City. The same was true for his relationship with Kwong Pui-sang and the Huanmei Group.
