After the match, Qin Bochuan's face was even darker than before, and Shen Shi even suspected that he might not be able to resist leaving.
However, this clearly underestimates Qin Bochuan. As a mature businessman, the most important thing is to be flexible and adaptable.
"It seems Mr. Shen's ball skills are still better. He's worked up a sweat. Let's go inside and have some tea," Qin Bochuan praised Shen Shi.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. "We've wasted so much time, it's time to talk about the project." This time, Shen Shi generously paved the way for them.
Both of them then displayed the social instincts of seasoned businessmen, as if what had just happened was just a joke.
No one takes a bet seriously, including Chen Shi. In the business world, which is like a battlefield, empty talk is useless.
If you want tangible benefits, you have to fight and grab them using your own methods.
The next morning, Shen Shi and Qin Bochuan discussed the development of the resort and roughly formulated an implementation plan for the project.
I only remember to eat lunch after my assistant reminds me.
After a morning of detailed discussions, it became clear that Qin Bochuan was genuinely confident in the resort project.
"The resort we build will surely become the most famous tourist destination in the country." Qin Bochuan has expressed this luxurious vision of his many times.
Chen Shi replied with a smile, "Of course." But in his heart he was thinking, "You're kidding me."
However, besides listening to Qin Bochuan's boasting, Shen Shi also learned some useful information.
For example, the planned site for the resort is in Jiangbei, but it is far from Lai'er Mountain; one is in the south and the other in the north.
The popularity of Mount Lai'er has not boosted the resort's business. Apart from stabilizing Qin Bochuan, this project has not brought any benefits to the Shen family.
But you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; compared to the enormous profits from the Lai'er Mountain land, this sacrifice is undoubtedly worthwhile.
Over the next two weeks, Shen Shi worked on the resort project with Qin Bochuan while looking for a suitable opportunity to acquire the land.
However, the people sent to contact the Jiang family failed to gain their trust, and the land deal did not go smoothly.
Chen could only try to distract Qin Bochuan by delaying the investment in the resort project.
I've been so busy for several days in a row that I feel listless even when I'm at home.
"They assured me to ignore the Qin family and that they would handle it themselves, but in the end, they left me exhausted."
When Old Master Shen saw his demeanor, he was furious. "What is the Qin family anyway? You might as well do as I say."
Shen Shi was already used to his grandfather's temper, so he comforted him, "Grandpa is right, but it's time for me to be able to support myself. I can't always rely on you."
"That's true." The old man nodded in agreement. His grandson was good in every way, except that he was too competitive.
He couldn't help but add, "But you're still young, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you really can't get through something, leave it to this old man."
"Of course." Shen Shi understood his grandfather's good intentions and added, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Butler Xia came in and asked the old man, "Sir, Director Li has come to visit. Would you like to see him?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Shen sneered, "This Li Tianming is very shrewd. He won't come to the temple without a reason. I won't see him. Xiao Shi, why don't you go and meet him for me?" He asked Shen Shi.
Shen nodded in agreement.
"Grandpa, please rest for a while." After saying that, he went to the reception room with Butler Xia.
In the reception room, a nearly forty-year-old, obese man was drinking hot tea and waiting. Hearing the door open, he stood up from his chair.
Upon seeing the person, Shen Shi's face showed a hint of surprise, but he immediately smiled and said, "Isn't this your little boy? You've grown into a handsome young man in just a few years."
Shen Shi gave a polite smile and said in a courteous but distant manner, "Uncle Li, it's been a long time. Grandpa is resting right now. I hope you don't mind if I entertain you?"
Li Tianming immediately waved his hand and said, "Nephew, what are you saying? I've watched you grow up. It's been so many years since we last met. Let's take this opportunity to have a chat."
Li Tianming's words are not wrong; he did indeed watch Shen Shi grow up.
This department head was a student sponsored by the Shen family many years ago, and used to often visit the Shen family during holidays.
Li Tianming was a smooth and extremely intelligent man. The old man greatly admired this young man and believed that he would surely achieve great things, so he introduced him to a lot of resources.
As it turned out, Mr. Shen's judgment was indeed astute; Li Tianming rose to the position of director of the neighboring city's government in a short period of political career.
However, after becoming the director by leveraging the Shen family's influence, he had much less contact with the Shen family, but Shen Shi still remembered him.
"Look at your handsome appearance, you're getting more and more handsome," Li Tianming praised Shen Shi.
"Uncle Li, you flatter me. You look quite energetic," Shen Shi said politely. "Are you in City A on business or for tourism?"
"I just finished a meeting and was thinking of stopping by to see the old man," Li Tianming sighed. "But I didn't expect to come at such an inopportune time."
"..." It's not that you came at the wrong time, it's that you shouldn't have come at all.
Not knowing how to respond, Chen Shi simply changed the subject and started talking about other things.
Unexpectedly, Li Tianming was exceptionally talkative. Even after three cups of tea had been changed, he was still chatting with Shen Shi with great interest.
As he gradually calmed down, he also sensed that something was wrong; there was definitely something waiting for him.
