Fu Xingzhou's date with President Fengxi was scheduled for the evening after nightfall.
He arrived at the teahouse's private room ten minutes early and waited patiently.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not arrive early, but was late.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, something came up and I was delayed."
"Have you been waiting for quite a while?"
Fan Sheng, the current arbitrator of Fengxi, is an old man over fifty years old.
Despite his aged appearance, he was very shrewd and calculating, even more so than many young people.
"Mr. Fan, I just arrived too."
Fu Xingzhou respectfully addressed Fan Lao, his humble attitude greatly pleasing the other party.
"I haven't been to this tea shop in a long time. Today, I'm finally getting to enjoy Mr. Fu's company."
Fu Xingzhou responded and proactively poured Fan Sheng a cup of tea that had been prepared and handed it to him.
Fan Sheng didn't stand on ceremony, took the bottle, and took a sip, looking quite pleased with himself.
"Mr. Fu, the tea you ordered this time is really excellent."
Fu Xingzhou had no intention of playing games with the other party anymore, so he simply spoke directly.
"Mr. Fan, I've come to see you today because I have a small favor to ask."
Fan Sheng chuckled, but didn't respond.
"President Fu, I heard that Chairman Fu has also returned to the country. How is my father's health? I'd like to pay him a visit when I have time."
Fu Xingzhou frowned. What did this old fox mean by bringing up his father now?
Does he think he can't make decisions about the Fu family?
"Old Master Fan, Father is doing well. If you wish to visit him at his residence, you may do so now."
Fu Xingzhou's tone turned cold, and the other party quickly noticed something was amiss.
"I was just asking casually. Since Mr. Fu invited me tonight, there's no reason for me to meet anyone else."
Fan Sheng chuckled, picked up his teacup, and took two more sips.
In the sandalwood-scented private room, Fu Xingzhou clearly realized that his opponent was somewhat troublesome.
"Old Fan, you should know very well why I've come. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
If we keep going in circles with the other person, we probably won't get to the point all night. It's better to be direct and give them a choice.
Fan Sheng's smile faded, his eyes flickered, as if he was pondering the gains and losses.
After a moment of silence, Fan Sheng finally spoke up.
"President Fu, Fengxi is very interested in this suburban project."
"As long as you can guarantee that I can acquire this land, I will naturally help with the troubles involving the Li family."
Fu Xingzhou scoffed lightly; this old fox has quite an appetite.
If he makes that promise, Li Susu will definitely come after him later.
"Mr. Fan, the Fu family was not involved in the suburban land project. Whether you can acquire it or not is not up to the Fu family."
Fan Sheng's face remained smiling, without any sign of it fading.
"Mr. Fu, you're too kind."
"If you're willing, wouldn't all these competing companies have to listen to you?"
Fu Xingzhou snorted coldly, "Old Fan is really flattering me. I didn't even know that I had such a high status in City C."
"If things are really as Mr. Fan said, then I wouldn't need to wait here so early tonight, don't you think?"
The atmosphere suddenly shifted subtly. Fu Xingzhou refused to budge, and Fan Sheng felt that it would be a huge loss to only do Fu Xingzhou a favor in this deal.
Even so, no one intended to mention leaving.
The battle between the young and the old fox continues.
