News came from over there that through Hong Tianhu's connections, they found an old friend of his who was involved in real estate. Preliminary discussions had already taken place, but the Boss specifically requested Xin Yi to come and discuss cooperation.
Xin Yi felt somewhat confused; he had never shown his face in Longchuan's business community, so why would someone specifically want to talk to him? However, since they had this request, as the actual head of the Three Tiger Group, it wouldn't be inappropriate to have a discussion.
This was Xin Yi's first time negotiating business, and he truly didn't know how it worked. So he decided to bring Wang Hao along; with Wang Hao's keen insight into the capital market, there shouldn't be any issues. He first took a taxi to the Three Tiger Group headquarters. Xin Yi didn't like driving because whenever he did, accidents seemed to happen—not that he caused them, but rather that the police got involved. Whenever he got behind the wheel of a good car, he couldn't help but push its performance to the limit. He always believed that if a good car's performance couldn't be fully utilized, then what was the point of buying it? It would be better to just drive a junk car. Cars were meant for driving; no matter how expensive they were, if they weren't driven, they were just piles of scrap metal. So he left the car at the Farm; it would be more convenient for Lijie to go out.
Although Wang Hao was reluctant and grumbled about how much money they would lose, he followed Xin Yi downstairs. Huang Mang and two other staff members were already waiting downstairs. The five of them split into two cars and headed towards their destination. It wasn't far—about a ten-minute drive. The car stopped in front of an imposing building, and when Xin Yi got out and looked up, the words "Junxing Group" shone brightly.
As soon as they entered the lobby, a secretary-like person approached them: "Are you representatives of the Three Tiger Group?" Huang Mang quickly nodded in affirmation, but the secretary's gaze shifted to Xin Yi, who was walking behind with a calm expression. The secretary then asked, "Are you Mr. Xin Yi?" Xin Yi slightly nodded and replied, "I am Xin Yi."
The secretary then led everyone to the elevator. The elevator ascended quickly and soon arrived at the designated floor. After exiting the elevator, the secretary guided them to what appeared to be a reception area on that floor where they sat down before turning and leaving. After a while, another young woman entered and said, "Sorry for keeping you waiting. I am Wang Fang, the assistant to the general manager of Junxing Group. May I ask who is Mr. Xin Yi?" Although she asked this question politely, her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xin Yi. He felt that everyone from Junxing Group seemed somewhat mysterious; each one asked about him specifically. But considering they had requested him personally, it seemed normal. So he stood up and said, "I am Xin Yi."
Wang Fang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xin, please follow me; the general manager is waiting for you in the office."
Xin Yi was taken aback: "Just me?"
"Yes, the general manager only called for you," Wang Fang replied with a smile.
Huang Mang didn't say anything, but Wang Hao began complaining: "Look, Mr. Xin, you called us here for nothing; they only want to see you alone. This is great; I've lost at least several hundred thousand."
Everyone else was puzzled by what Wang Hao said; only Xin Yi understood clearly. He then told everyone: "Then Second Brother can take everyone back first."
Huang Mang also stood up and walked over to Xin Yi's side loudly saying: "That's fine; we'll head back first. By the way, Third Brother, do you want me to leave a car for you?" After saying this, he leaned closer to Xin Yi and whispered: "Be careful; I feel something is off. How about we wait outside for you? If anything happens..."
Before Huang Mang could finish his sentence, Xin Yi interrupted him: "It's fine Second Brother; you take everyone back first. There are quite a few things at home as well; didn't Wang Hao say that if this drags on too long he'll lose quite a bit? Haha."
"Alright then; we'll leave now." After Huang Mang finished speaking, he took everyone away.
Wang Fang led Xin Yi to an office door. Upon seeing the sign that read "General Manager's Office," she knocked twice but didn't wait for a response before pushing open the door and leading Xin Yi inside while saying: "General Manager, Mr. Xin has arrived." She then turned and left, closing the door behind her.
As soon as he entered the room, Xin Yi caught a faint scent of powder—a very subtle fragrance that most people wouldn't notice. However, Xin Yi was not just anyone; although he couldn't see who owned this office yet, he could tell it was a woman—and not one who favored heavy makeup either; otherwise, the scent wouldn't be so light. This fragrance could be described as an innate scent of femininity unrelated to cosmetics. Behind a large black leather Boss chair was an imposing desk with its back facing him; although its tall back blocked his view, Xin Yi could still be certain that a woman was sitting there.
It seemed she wanted to create an air of mystery. A smile crept onto Xin Yi's lips as he walked calmly toward that large desk. The thick wool carpet muffled his footsteps completely as he approached quietly and sat down steadily in a chair beside the desk while thinking: "Since you enjoy creating mystery so much, I will play along."
The woman sitting in the chair deliberately remained silent after hearing Wang Fang's voice. She wanted to wait for Xin Yi to speak first. Although she was already the general manager of Junxing Group, usually serious and unsmiling, today she suddenly felt playful and wanted to pull a little prank on Xin Yi. This behavior might even confuse her, but she did it anyway and enjoyed it.
However, after waiting for a long time without any sound, she found it strange. Could it be that Wang Fang hadn't brought him in? That shouldn't be the case; although Wang Fang usually had a good relationship with her, he never joked around during work. Thinking this, she quietly waited for a few more minutes, but still heard nothing. This time, she couldn't hold back any longer and turned her chair around.
"Hello, President Shu!" Just as she turned halfway, a voice rang out close by, and then she saw a face filled with a mischievous smile.
"Oh my! Are you trying to scare me to death?" President Shu didn't know if she was truly startled by Xin Yi or not; her heart raced wildly, her pretty face flushed red, and her small hand clutched her chest. The person sitting in the chair was indeed President Shu, who had spoken with Xin Yi at Hong Tianhu's birthday banquet.
Xin Yi remained calmly seated, wearing that mischievous smile.
"By the way, why didn't you say anything when you came in?" President Shu took a moment to collect herself and returned to her signature expressionless face.
"This is President Shu's office. If you don't speak, how could I dare to speak casually? I was afraid of disturbing your peace," Xin Yi said with a smile. "President Shu is truly young and accomplished; at such a young age, you have such a large enterprise."
"No, I'm just working for someone else," President Shu replied half-truthfully.
The boss of Junxing Group is Shu Junxing, a towering figure in Longchuan and even the entire Binhai business community. His rise to success is legendary; it is said that he once lived in poverty and only managed to go abroad to work through the support of relatives and friends. However, just ten years later, he returned home and established Junxing Group. Under his leadership, Junxing Group has thrived for over twenty years and has developed into a major conglomerate involved in various fields, with real estate being just one part of it.
Shu Rui is Shu Junxing's only daughter, twenty-five years old with a master's degree in business administration. She has been in charge of Junxing Group for less than six months but is already referred to as a heroine among the group members. She works decisively and efficiently without any hesitation, showing no less determination than her father. As a woman in business, she has managed to run Junxing Group successfully.
"By the way, I heard that the Third-in-Command wants to invest in our company for joint real estate development?" Shu Rui expressionlessly steered the conversation back on track.
"There's no need to call me President Shu anymore; there is no Three Tiger Hall now—only Three Tiger Group. It’s Three Tiger Group that wants to invest in your company for collaboration; I'm just an intermediary. Didn't you specifically ask me to discuss this?" Xin Yi replied leisurely, managing to regain some momentum in their exchange. Shu Rui's implication was that they had approached her first, giving her the initiative; meanwhile, Xin Yi's words suggested that since Shu Rui had specifically requested this meeting, it indicated an intention to cooperate.
"Is that so? So you're saying it's not entirely up to you?" Shu Rui was not easily outmaneuvered.
"Since Three Tiger Group has allowed me to represent them in discussions, then of course I have the authority," Xin Yi responded confidently.
"Oh? Then how much is Three Tiger Group prepared to invest in our collaboration?"
"This doesn't matter; the key question is how much do you think Three Tiger Group should invest?" The two engaged in a subtle game of strategy, neither willing to reveal their cards easily.
Shu Rui thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Do you know why I specifically asked you to discuss this matter?"
"Uh, I really don't know. Please enlighten me, President Shu," Xin Yi replied, not pretending this time; he wasn't narcissistic enough to think that any beautiful woman would be interested in him.
"Actually, our real estate company doesn't need to cooperate with anyone," Shu Rui said, pausing deliberately to observe Xin Yi's expression. Unfortunately for her, Xin Yi maintained a calm smile, showing no change in his demeanor. She continued, "I heard that it was someone from the Three Tiger Group who agreed to talk because you are the Third-in-Command of the Three Tiger Hall."
"Oh? Then President Shu is being too kind to me. I just don't understand why President Shu would give me this courtesy," Xin Yi responded lightly.
"I mentioned last time that you killed Yin Xinli; I want to thank you for that."
"Oh, so President Shu means that our cooperation has already been agreed upon?" Xin Yi smiled faintly, thinking to himself, "Look at how you went around in circles only to end up entangling yourself."
Upon hearing Xin Yi's words, Shu Rui realized she had fallen into her own trap. Originally, she intended for Xin Yi to thank her for giving him this opportunity but ended up expressing gratitude herself. Since she needed to thank him, how could they not cooperate?
Shu Rui thought to herself, "I didn't expect my mind to be quite sharp." Despite falling into her own trap, she felt no anger; instead, she was somewhat pleased. It turned out that Xin Yi's negotiation skills were quite impressive.
"Well then!" Shu Rui decided to be straightforward. From the moment she heard that the Three Tiger Group wanted to cooperate, she had already internally agreed. As for why she agreed and why she specifically asked Xin Yi to come and talk—only Shu Rui herself knew the reasons behind it.
