202 Use Your Brain
“Can you use your brain?” Shan Yue’s voice revealed a hint of seriousness, and her voice rose slightly. “If we’re just talking about the project, the bodyguards we brought are more than enough to protect us. But he sent so many people to the door. It’s more like he’s monitoring us. If I’m not wrong, there must be something wrong with this project.”
“Don’t make such a fuss, okay? The delegation is clearly being kind, but when it comes to you…”
Before Mu Wei could finish, Zhou Xuan interrupted him. “I think so too. Someone has been watching me this morning. Moreover, there are too many people sent. This doesn’t make sense.”
After hearing Zhou Xuan’s words, Mu Wei still did not seem to care. “President Zhou, why are you making a fuss with her? We’ve been on business trips so many times. Don’t we know more than a little girl like her?”
Zhou Xuan’s gaze faded. “In short, it’s better for us to be careful. After all, we’re in someone else’s territory.”
Coincidentally, just as the three of them finished speaking, a figure was already standing at the table. It was the person in charge of the delegation, Mr. Victor Smith.
“Have you two finished breakfast?” Victor smiled. “If you have, we’re ready to go.”
Zhou Xuan immediately reacted and looked at Shan Yue. “What about her? Isn’t she coming with us?”
Victor frowned slightly. “Mr. Zhou, as far as I know, this lady doesn’t seem to be one of your partners, so she has no right to partic.i.p.ate in the project cooperation.”
Shan Yue did not react when she heard this. She continued to swing her spoon and drink the soup in her bowl.
“Although there’s no financial cooperation, she’s still my partner.” Zhou Xuan’s eyes were filled with determination. “It’s just that you don’t know about this.”
Seeing the hesitation on Victor’s face, before he could speak, Zhou Xuan spoke again. “If you don’t let her partic.i.p.ate, we won’t go either. You can find someone else to discuss cooperation.”
Seeing this, Victor had no choice but to agree to let Shan Yue go with him. Shan Yue’s face still did not change, but her heart still skipped a beat. Then, the three of them took a car to the construction site of the project.
In the car alone, Victor leaned sideways and whispered into the a.s.sistant’s ear. After parking the car, the a.s.sistant quietly left the construction site.
Victor brought Zhou Xuan and the others around for a simple tour. “President Zhou, I’ve personally investigated. This land covers an area that’s not much smaller than the companies of the three big families in Federal City. The lower part is commercial, and the upper part is for residential use. In this luxurious area, there are endless possibilities in the future.”
“Mr. Victor, you’ve done a lot of research in advance.” A faint smile appeared on Zhou Xuan’s lips. “You’ve even investigated the Zhou family.”
“No, no. It’s just work. I hope that this project can have a better future in President Zhou’s hands.”
Zhou Xuan’s tone was firm. “Of course.”
As he spoke, a sudden commotion attracted their attention. They saw a group of security guards trying their best to stop the people outside.
Seeing this, Victor raised his voice and shouted, “Butler Peter, it’s fine if you usually bring a group of people to cause trouble here, but today, there are guests. Why are you still like this? Did your Second Young Master order you?”
“This has nothing to do with our Second Young Master. It’s my own decision. Don’t casually slander our Young Master.” Butler Peter’s tone was mocking and disdainful. “Eldest Young Master, the person in charge of this project should have been our Second Young Master. Back then, you used despicable methods to fight for it from Master. How dare you say that?”
When Victor heard this, he instantly looked angry and glared at him. “Peter, how dare a servant talk to me like that. Do you believe that I’ll get you out of this house completely?”
Peter was not afraid at all. “I’m just defending our Second Young Master. We won’t fall out with you since we have guests here today, but you won’t be so lucky next time.”
With that, Peter turned around and left with his men.
