Gong Yi heard that Liu Shang still wanted to rely on Lu Fan, so he quickly said something to him.
"What can we do? The government sees us as a newly established company and will never entrust us with urban construction projects."
Liu Shang knew exactly what Gong Yi meant.
Without Lu Fan's help, he can't get any government projects at all. He has no choice but to accept this predicament.
Thump thump thump—
"Please come in."
Lu Fan was peeling an apple for Jiang Manyue in the hospital room.
Hearing the knock on the door, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Then he shouted towards the door.
"President Lu."
Lei Yansheng and Zhang He walked in carrying some things.
Because of the unpleasant incident yesterday, Zhang He did not walk in front, but hid behind Lei Yansheng and came in.
Lei Yansheng, who was walking in front, smiled and nodded at Lu Fan.
He saw the two of them come in, but Lu Fan didn't even look up to pay attention. He just continued to peel an apple for Jiang Manyue with a knife.
Sitting on the hospital bed, Jiang Manyue noticed the awkward atmosphere and glared at Lu Fan, who kept telling her to ease the tension.
"Please sit down quickly."
"Sister-in-law, these are nutritional supplements that the two of us bought for you."
Zhang He walked out from behind Lei Yansheng, placed the things he was carrying next to the hospital bed, and said with a smile.
"You're here too. Lei Yansheng, what's the meaning of bringing so much stuff today?"
Upon hearing Zhang He speak, Lu Fan asked Lei Yansheng without any expression on his face.
"Oh, Zhang He was a bit rash yesterday, I apologize to President Lu. That's why I brought him here to apologize to you."
Seeing Lu Fan's unhappy expression, Lei Yansheng quickly smiled apologetically and said to him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, it was all my fault yesterday. Please forgive me."
Hearing Lei Yansheng plead for him, Zhang He knew what to do.
He walked up to Lu Fan, bowed deeply, and said to him.
"Hmph, perhaps your real intentions lie elsewhere!"
Looking at Zhang He bowing his head to him, Lu Fan knew that the other party was not convinced at all.
He was only forced by his status to speak to Zhang He in front of him.
Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, Zhang He immediately raised his head.
Seeing Lu Fan's knowing expression, she secretly thought to herself that something was wrong.
Then he looked behind him at Lei Yansheng to see if the other party had any ideas.
Lei Yansheng gave Zhang He a look that said "Leave it to me." Seeing that Lei Yansheng had a solution, Zhang He retreated back to Lei Yansheng's side.
Lei Yansheng also knew that Lu Fan probably already knew, but fortunately Liu Shang didn't know yet, and he hadn't told Liu Shang about it.
There's still hope, which means Lu Fan doesn't want to tell Liu Shang about this.
There must be other plans.
Thinking of this, Lei Yansheng smiled and said to Lu Fan.
"Indeed, we came here firstly to see Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu, and secondly, one of our underlings said yesterday that he left something with Mrs. Lu, and we wanted to retrieve it today."
Jiang Manyue, sitting upright on the hospital bed, looked at Zhang He and Lei Yansheng.
After listening to what the two said, it was indeed as Lu Fan had said: the other party would definitely come back to find them and take back the recording pen.
Remembering that Lu Fan had his own plan, she stopped eating her apple and continued to wait and see what Lu Fan was up to.
"Haha, the things are on that table. Since they're yours, you can take them."
Lu Fan pointed to the recording location and spoke to Zhang He and Lei Yansheng.
The goal was to let them take it so that I could proceed with my plans.
"Then thank you very much, Mr. Lu."
Upon hearing that Lu Fan could give them the items, they smiled and thanked him.
Then he gave Zhang He a look, signaling the latter to get the recording.
Zhang He immediately spotted the voice recorder on the table and put it directly into his pocket.
"Some things, if you don't want others to know, you shouldn't do them in the first place."
Lu Fan remained seated, speaking mysteriously to Zhang He and Lei Yansheng.
"President Lu, don't worry. If you ever need anything from me, Zhang He, just let me know."
Zhang He, who had just obtained the recording, finally felt relieved.
After hearing Lu Fan's words, she became anxious and then assured him.
Lu Fan was someone he couldn't handle at all. Since he couldn't be an enemy, he had no choice but to compromise.
The only remaining path is to obey the others. Well, I'm happy to hear you say that.
Upon hearing Zhang He's words, Lu Fan felt he had accomplished half of his goal.
He stood up, walked over to Zhang He and Lei Yansheng, and said with a smile.
Ring ring ring ring—
"Hello, this is Lu Fan."
Just as Zhang He was about to say something, Lu Fan's phone rang.
Lu Fan gestured for Zhang He to stop, then answered the phone and spoke into the receiver.
"Mr. Lu, you haven't forgotten what I told you before, have you?"
The person who called was Zhang He and Lei Yansheng's boss. Lu Fan smiled as he listened to Liu Shang's question.
Liu Shang, who just questioned Lu Fan, made the call only after being persuaded by Gong Yi.
"Um, this! I've already started getting people to prepare. Don't you trust me?"
In response to Liu Shang's question, Lu Fan smiled and asked Liu Shang the same question in return.
Liu Shang was in a bit of a predicament, as Lu Fan was still giving vague answers and hadn't given a specific time.
He turned his gaze to Gong Yi beside him, wanting to see if the other party had any ideas.
Gong Yi was also in a difficult position. Lu Fan was now the cash cow of Shanggong Group, and without the other party's project support...
They'll declare bankruptcy sooner or later, and I'm also thinking about how to ask them without damaging our relationship.
"Recently, our company has been experiencing some cash flow difficulties. Could your investment company allocate some funds?"
Gong Yi quickly came up with a solution and whispered it in Liu Shang's ear.
After listening to Gong Yi's words, Liu Shang also thought the idea was good, and then he called Lu Fan and complained about being poor.
"Working capital? If I haven't found you a project by next week, my company will transfer the money to you to solve your immediate problem."
Hearing Liu Shang's complaints about being poor, in order to avoid spending any more money, I had no choice but to give Liu Shang a satisfactory answer.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Lu's news next week."
Hearing that Lu Fan had agreed, Liu Shang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he smiled as he spoke to Lu Fan.
"Okay, then wait for my good news."
Lu Fan was also put on the spot by Liu Shang's phone call.
Zhang He and Lei Yansheng were also in front of him, and he spoke with a smile.
