"I never expected that in my lifetime, I would actually see you alive!" Zhou Jingquan remarked sarcastically at Su Xing.
Su Xing retorted, "I also didn't expect that you would have a woman by your side! Shouldn't you be looking for a man to accompany you instead? Perhaps he would understand you better!"
Zhou Jingquan's eyes widened in disbelief, but he managed to suppress his anger. In the end, he tightly grasped Lu Xiangyi's wrist and took a seat at the main table.
Lu Xiangyi awkwardly glanced at Su Xing, who was staring at her with a dangerously intense gaze. They had both come to see each other, but after missing their chances twice, they ended up meeting in such a way that they couldn't even acknowledge one another.
Lu Xiangyi forced a smile at Su Xing, hoping she would understand the subtle hint behind it. "Oh dear, Minister Zhou, those are all old matters. Why are you still fussing over trivialities with a young girl? We have important business to discuss!"
"If we can reach an agreement, we will all be partners in this venture. The big shots on the same boat must work together to make our future better, right?"
Su Xing smiled lightly at Li Li. "I didn't know Sister Li Zi was so good at chatting with the leadership!"
Li Li met Su Xing's distant gaze and realized that she was completely severing ties with her. This meal was merely a dividing line.
However, Su Xing still couldn't figure out what Li Li and Zhang Tianba's true intentions were.
"Alright, you ladies' matters don't need to be discussed at this table. This banquet is set up for everyone's development," Minister Zhou stated. "Your time is precious, so let me get straight to the point!"
Zhang Tianba seemed willing to lower himself before Minister Zhou, acting like a sycophant.
"Su Xing, you hold more than half of the land use rights for Xinghe Street. I have the capital, Minister Zhou has the power; our cooperation will yield unimaginable profits."
"I came here to sell land; how did it turn into cooperation?" Su Xing was taken aback. Did these two cunning men really think they could drag her, an enemy of theirs, into this?
Moreover, they should know that she wasn't someone easy to manipulate.
" Minister Zhou is willing to make money together with you; do you have any objections?"
I cannot bring myself to earn filthy money alongside someone with a dirty mind.
Su Xing completely disregarded how dark Zhou Jingquan's expression was, firmly stating her position. "Zhou Jingquan, you know very well the grievances between us. In this lifetime, I will never forgive you!"
For Zhou Jingquan to sit at the same table as Su Xing, it undoubtedly required a great deal of mental preparation. After all, he could never forget the proud hero he once was. Even after stepping into the muck, he had soaked his feet in disinfectant for a month, feeling as if they would never be clean again.
Ultimately, he was ridding the world of evil, and reluctantly accepted this psychological burden for himself. "You must not forgive me. If you start to find me agreeable again, I might just gouge my own eyes out!"
Lu Xiangyi sat nearby, perfectly poised, her subtle smile caught Su Xing's attention. Did this girl still have the mind to watch the spectacle? Why was she even beside Zhou Jingquan?
But Lu Xiangyi was currently cheering for Su Xing, her heart applauding her friend! She was quite satisfied with this close-range observation! However, she hadn’t forgotten her mission.
"Uncle Zhou, please don’t get angry! My father said that heaven has allowed me to see if your proposed cooperation is truly reliable. I don’t even know how to report back to my father!"
Hearing her friend's mention of "Uncle Zhou" made Su Xing feel nauseous. She hadn’t expected Zhou Jingquan to have connections with the Lu Family. Wasn’t Zhang Tianba quite wealthy? What kind of game was he playing by watching these two families compete?
Would the Lu Family really collaborate with Zhou Jingquan? Su Xing remained skeptical.
"Minister Zhou, may I ask which family this niece belongs to? Who is she calling 'niece'?"
Lu Xiangyi’s cold gaze pierced through Zhang Tianba’s face like a sharp blade.
Su Xing silently applauded her friend’s fierce demeanor; the pampered Little Heiress from a real estate tycoon’s family could display such a side. It made her wonder who had taught her that!
Suddenly recalling recent events regarding Rong Xigu being stuck in the military, Su Xing felt her earlier tension and worries dissipate.
"The daughter of real estate magnate Lu Lin," Zhou Jingquan explained nonchalantly. They had long been aware of Su Xing's connections; Zhou Jingquan didn’t seem too concerned about Lu Xiangyi's presence at that moment.
"Oh, oh, oh, Jingjing! I'm new here and still finding my footing. I hope to collaborate with Lu Zong in the future."
Some people really know how to flatter themselves!
Lu Xiangyi began to speak sarcastically.
Su Xing confirmed that this was indeed her close friend, not someone pretending to be her.
The atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Zhou Jingquan suppressed his temper and tried to change the subject. "Su Xing, the land you have, Shen is also competing for it. The project Shen wants to undertake will definitely be more profitable than what I have here."
"I know about your relationship with Shen Jingyu. You should understand that having money in your own hands gives you confidence. I'm only willing to let you in because I'm considering you."
"Well, thank you very much for that. But are you really sure that this place can be developed according to your plans? After all, I've heard that the planning for this area is under strict control from above!"
Zhou Jingquan snorted coldly. "You're just repeating what Shen Jingyu told you. You've been in this business for years; do you really think it's up to just anyone up there?"
"Oh? So it seems, Minister Zhou, you're actually doing quite well now! It's a pity that you don't have any offspring to help you out; you still have to come personally to seek my collaboration. I truly feel exhausted for you!"
Zhou Jingquan's face turned purple with anger at Su Xing's words. The only regret in his life was not having children! And the one responsible for that was right in front of him, yet he couldn't do anything about it.
Su Xing was curious but had never truly probed into why Zhou Jingquan hadn't dealt with her more harshly. She really wanted to find out who that person was.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that this little asset of mine would become a coveted prize in your factional struggles. I wonder what you would do if I chose not to cooperate?"
Han Ruoxi, having been brought back again and seeing two more people in the room, could finally sit quietly. Watching Su Xing go head-to-head with those two men was quite entertaining for her.
Minister Zhou adopted an air of certainty: "You should know that a common man is innocent; it's the possession of wealth that brings trouble. You have no choice."
