After Jiang Fuyue and Liu Jinzhong finished their meal, the waiter came in to report that Yi Hansheng and Ling Qingzhou had arrived.
Liu Jinzhong said, “Miss, I’ll head upstairs first.”
“Mm.”
Soon, Yi Hansheng and Ling Qingzhou were led into the private room.
Both noticed the two sets of chopsticks on the table, their minds racing, but they didn’t show any sign of it on the surface.
Jiang Fuyue asked the waiter to clear the table and invited Ling and Yi to sit.
Before long, the table was cleared.
As the waiter exited, they closed the door behind them.
Jiang Fuyue used a simple tea set to brew tea for the two of them, one cup each, with steam rising from the cups.
They exchanged glances.
Jiang Fuyue then took out the pre-prepared “Equity Subscription Agreement” and pushed one copy toward each of them. “Take a look at the specifics.”
“Additionally, here’s the information on the new company. If you have any questions after reviewing it, feel free to raise them directly.”
Yi Hansheng raised an eyebrow. “Yufeng Real Estate?”
Jiang Fuyue nodded.
“Is it related to the Yufeng Group I know?”
Jiang Fuyue replied, “Legally speaking, there’s no connection, it’s just a coincidence of names. But their business scopes are different, so it’s permissible to exist separately.”
Ling Qingzhou asked, “And non-legally speaking?”
Jiang Fuyue answered, “They have the same owner.”
Both men stiffened in surprise.
As expected of Lou Mingyue—whether in any place or identity, she was able to control wealth and resources with lightning speed.
No wonder when they were preparing to invest 300 million, she had said, “Only 20% of the shares are left for subscription in the new company now!”
It wasn’t overpriced or feigned modesty.
In reality, Yufeng didn’t lack money. Giving them 10% of the shares was just a way to offer them a chance to take revenge on Fang Ye.
Yi Hansheng quickly skimmed through the agreement and signed it.
Ling Qingzhou followed suit.
Jiang Fuyue stood up. “I look forward to our cooperation.”
The two men replied in unison, “I look forward to it as well.”
With the contract signed, the next step was to secure the old houses on Qingtong Street before the Lou family did.
Jiang Fuyue handed this task directly to Ling Qingzhou and Yi Hansheng.
Of course, she could have asked Liu Jinzhong to handle it, but as partners, it was only right for them to “cooperate,” and it was reasonable for them to contribute some effort.
Moreover, the Yufeng Group hadn’t been exposed yet—it was still operating in the underground world. If she handed it to Liu Jinzhong, it would be a bit limiting.
But Yi Hansheng and Ling Qingzhou were different.
First, both the Yi and Ling families were prominent in Linhuai, deeply rooted for many years with intertwined relationships and connections. When they wanted to accomplish something, it would be much easier and more efficient.
Second, if things went wrong, the Lou family would investigate them, not her.
Jiang Fuyue directly told them, “…My current identity cannot be exposed. If you don’t want to deal with the Lou family, I’ll think of another way.”
Yi Hansheng sneered, “Without you, the Lou family is nothing more than a paper tiger. Would I be afraid?!”
Ling Qingzhou remained calm, “Let them investigate, we’re not idle these past years.”
Jiang Fuyue smiled, looking at the two men. “Twenty years without seeing you, Little Ling and Little Yi, you’re both much bolder now.”
She still remembered how fresh-faced they were when they first started out. Now, they had become powerful CEOs whose words carried weight.
She couldn’t deny that time was the best magician.
It turned the efforts of people into something worthwhile.
Upon hearing this, both men’s faces turned oddly red. To avoid the other noticing, they both pretended to remain calm, even coughing in the same way.
Jiang Fuyue: “…”
Time, the magician, could change many things, but not everything.
……
That night, Ling Qingzhou returned home.
As soon as he entered, he saw Ling Xuan.
“Dad, where did you go?”
