After all, everyone had heard that the Fu family wanted to cancel their cooperation with the Bai family.
Now that Chairman Fu is back, the situation seems to have changed somewhat.
"I don't know if this marriage will actually happen. At the last banquet, I saw President Fu and the president of Li's Group getting along very well."
"The recent scandals have been making headlines, I really don't know how the Bai family can still tolerate it."
"Such a good marriage, why talk about being reluctant? If it weren't for the Fu family, would the Bai family be where they are today?"
"That's true."
Bai Mian and Fu Yan left these discussions far behind, but Bai Mian could clearly sense the open and subtle mockery from these people.
"Chairman Fu, about the engagement..."
After a long silence, Bai Mian decided to take the initiative.
Fu Yan chuckled lightly, "Chairman Bai, our two families are old friends. How could I let Xingzhou do whatever he wants with this marriage?"
Hearing this answer, Bai Mian visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Fu Yan did not give such a direct answer at the tea party just now, which inevitably made people wonder.
The most important thing now is not the marriage agreement, but whether the cooperation between the Bai family and the Fu family can be preserved.
If they can't protect it, the Bai family will definitely suffer heavy losses this time, and they will soon be targeted by their rivals.
"Chairman Fu, what are your thoughts on the cooperation?"
Fu Yan turned to look at Bai Mian, taking in his slight panic.
"Chairman Bai, now that I'm back, I will stabilize the situation."
"Have you forgotten that our two families have always been a community of shared interests?"
Bai Mian finally revealed a genuine smile, "That's true, Chairman Fu, Xingzhou does sometimes act impulsively."
"After all, you are young, so you should be in charge of many important matters."
Fu Yan responded indifferently, without any emotion.
"Chairman Bai, let me think about it. Let's finish up the K project we were working on as soon as possible."
"This project is complex and involves too many areas; it is ultimately not a long-term solution for either of us."
Bai Mian's expression stiffened. This project was a collaboration between the two families back then. If Fu Yan wanted to withdraw in time, then the Bai family would also be unable to continue.
However, this project is very profitable, and although it is somewhat risky, it has never encountered any major problems over the years.
Bai Mian was naturally reluctant to part with it.
"President Fu, I believe Project K is highly beneficial to both of our companies. Why withdraw so quickly?"
"Let's discuss this after the two children are married."
With this project as a check, the Bai family can at least have some capital.
Fu Yan frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"Chairman Bai, this project is very risky, but the current high profits are because the Fu family has paid a heavy price."
"And isn't it a bit unfair to divide the profits equally?"
Bai Mian clenched his fists, a cold sweat breaking out on his brow.
Sure enough, Fu Yan came for this reason.
When the two families first agreed to cooperate, the Fu family was not as powerful as it is now, and the Bai family was not as destitute as it is now.
Now that the situation has shifted and the balance of power has changed, it's understandable that Fu Yan would want to take a larger share.
"Chairman Fu, I admit I didn't think this through."
"Why don't we find some time to sit down and have a proper talk?"
Fu Yan responded and did not continue the topic.
The car soon arrived at the Bai residence, and Bai Mian said goodbye and got out of the car.
