Chapter 1485 - 1498
After Wei Yu finished speaking, everyone else scattered like they had been granted amnesty and ran out.
In their hearts, they secretly rejoiced, thankful that the phone call came just in time.
Wei Yu sat on the leather sofa, picked up his phone to call An Ruoxi, but before he could dial, the desk phone rang.
He picked it up, and the voice of the receptionist came through, "President Wei, Lady Mu from Jinxiu Group wants to see you."
Wei Yu narrowed his eyes, a faint smile crossing his lips, "Let her wait for me in the adjacent café."
Ever since Nangong Man Sha’s interference in the Capital City, their cooperation had been disrupted, but now the Wei Family hadn’t solidified their position in Shanghai. Although the Four Great Families of Modu were not as powerful as the Six Major Families of Kyoto, the local tyrant was not someone to offend easily. To establish a firm foothold here, he had to find a business partner.
After searching around, he felt that the recently risen Jinxiu Group was the best choice, so he used some tactics to make Mu Bingtong come to see him personally.
Inside the café, Mu Bingtong’s expression was somewhat cold, "President Wei, I think I’ve made it clear before, I don’t want to cooperate with you."
Wei Yu crossed his long legs and smiled slightly, saying, "Lady Mu, don’t rush to refuse me."
He leaned forward slightly and said to Mu Bingtong, "What I’m about to say, if Lady Mu is smart, she won’t refuse."
Mu Bingtong looked at Wei Yu suspiciously, "What do you mean?"
"Rest assured, we are only discussing work now, nothing else, so you don’t have to worry about any other intentions I might have."
Wei Yu gave Mu Bingtong a heads-up.
Mu Bingtong looked at Wei Yu in confusion. He seemed different, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was odd.
Wei Yu handed Mu Bingtong a document, "Take a look at this document, you might find it interesting."
Mu Bingtong took it and started to read. This contract was different from the previous one, with profits increased by thirteen percent, which was advantageous for their Jinxiu Group.
Although the Wei Family has some clout among the Six Major Families of Kyoto, Chu Ge’s ties with the Nangong Family were indirect through him, which added some distance and separation.
Seeing this contract, to be honest, Mu Bingtong was somewhat tempted. However, thinking about Wei Yu’s past behavior, she worried it might be another trap.
"How can I trust you?"
Mu Bingtong put down the contract, "I remember you once secretly tampered with the contract. It’s hard to guarantee that won’t happen again."
Wei Yu shrugged, "Before, there was a motive, wanting to use this chance to reach a goal, but now it’s different. I simply want to establish a strong footing in Shanghai through pure business cooperation, and sincerity is the key in business, don’t you think?"
As he spoke, there was a faint smile on his lips, genuine sincerity in his eyes. Mu Bingtong pondered for a moment, looking at the contract on the table. Signing this contract would be advantageous and harmless to Jinxiu.
"I know you’re very hesitant right now. I won’t pressure you. Take the contract, go back and think it over, reply to me when you’re sure."
Wei Yu saw Mu Bingtong’s dilemma, he smiled slightly, and added, "But I kindly remind you, many people want to partner with us, and from a business standpoint, cooperation between our two families is most beneficial. To solidify a position in Shanghai, one must have the strength to compete with the Four Great Families."
Wei Yu was right. To establish a foothold in Shanghai, an equal partner was essential, but not one of the Four Great Families, even though the situation in Modu was relatively stable, there was still undercurrent beneath the surface.
"Three days, I’ll give you an answer after three days."
Mu Bingtong said to Wei Yu.
Wei Yu nodded, "Alright, three days is still within my wait window, but after three days, who knows."
Listening to his words, Mu Bingtong murmured, "Got it."
After speaking, Wei Yu didn’t linger, he rose and left the café, which genuinely surprised Mu Bingtong.
But it’s better this way, at least he can seriously consider the contract matter.
Mu Bingtong sat in the café for a while longer, just about to leave when suddenly a figure sat down opposite her.
She looked at him in confusion, her heart skipped a beat.
"Why did you come?"
Mu Bingtong’s voice trembled slightly. She hadn’t seen Chu Ge for a long time, how long exactly she couldn’t remember.
To be precise, she dared not recall, afraid to remember.
"Just came to see you." Chu Ge sat elegantly across from her, his gaze piercing and clear. As he looked at her familiar yet indifferent face, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Sitting here quietly watching her, he could truly feel the person opposite wasn’t the one he had imagined, for Mu Bingtong wouldn’t look at him like that.
His Mu Bingtong, her gaze when looking at him was filled with fear and detachment, her personality soft, while this one had an air of chill, perhaps due to her identity, exuding a sense of detachment.
"How have you been recently?" Chu Ge asked, uncertain why he was asking, knowing full well this wasn’t the person he meant, but still couldn’t help wanting to know if she’s been well.
Mu Bingtong faintly curved her lips, "What’s good or not, it’s just the same. You know the company matters, always busy."
Chu Ge nodded slightly, said no more, his gaze fell on the contract in front of Mu Bingtong. Curious, he picked it up to have a look.
As he flipped through, he pointed out loopholes in the contract, "This partnership seems alright, but if you truly sign it, you can’t sign it like this."
Mu Bingtong looked at Chu Ge suspiciously, "You’ve learned to read contracts now?"
Chu Ge paused, remembering the Chu Ge of this world was a cultivation expert and wasn’t proficient in business matters.
"A little bit."
Chu Ge replied vaguely, "But I can spot problems in it."
Mu Bingtong smiled, "I’m curious to hear what problems you can spot."
Chu Ge’s lip curled slightly, as he began to speak, "It’s quite simple really, there’s no major issue with this contract, just this item, if the other side rephrases it, this clause would be detrimental to you."
