Lu Yuansong clearly didn’t believe Zhou Wang was telling the truth, and he quickly and solemnly said, "Don’t worry, whatever the cost, just name it. I will not haggle. Even if I have to sell my house and car, I, Lu Yuansong, won’t complain!"
"President Yuan, although things didn’t unfold quite as I imagined, I must say, I hadn’t expected you to go to such lengths..."
Zhou Wang genuinely sighed and cast a deep look at Lu Chen:
"Lu Chen, you have a good father!"
Lu Chen opened his mouth but said nothing, merely lowering his head slightly to hide his suddenly misty eyes.
Dad...
Zhou Wang then turned to Lu Yuansong and said earnestly, "President Yuan, I truly appreciate your giving me this much face. However, there might be a misunderstanding. I’m not here today to make things difficult for him. Any grievances can be let go once discussed. I’m not that magnanimous, but I’m not that petty either..."
"Mr. Zhou, do you mean..."
After a second attempt to probe, Lu Yuansong finally confirmed that Zhou Wang didn’t intend to trouble him, and his expression became puzzled.
"Let’s sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"
Zhou Wang called out and only after Lu Yuansong took his seat did he say with a smile:
"I had planned to discuss this after dinner, but since we’re already on the subject, I’ll lay my cards on the table. President Yuan, I’m not here for your son today. I’m here for you!"
"For me?"
Lu Yuansong was more and more surprised.
At this moment, Lu Conglin, who hadn’t spoken for a while, suddenly pointed at Zhou Wang and laughed, "Haha, old brother, I just knew you had a motive for asking me to bring Yuansong along. Looks like your crafty intentions have finally been revealed, huh?"
With Lu Conglin’s joking words, the atmosphere at the dining table relaxed suddenly.
Even Ruan Jinghong, Tang Yiming, and others looked toward Zhou Wang with curiosity.
"Ruan, Yiming, this matter actually has something to do with you as well."
Zhou Wang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Brother Dog, what exactly is it? Stop keeping us in suspense..."
Tang Yiming said with a wry smile.
"It’s like this. I’m currently planning a project and preparing to take on something big."
As Zhou Wang spoke, he lit a cigarette and smiled.
"Big?"
Lu Conglin squinted slightly and asked with a smile, "How big?"
"A cultural tourism project with a total investment exceeding ten billion, which could even reach a hundred billion in the future!"
At this moment, it was important to make a strong impression, so Zhou Wang didn’t hesitate to say this.
After Zhou Wang finished speaking, he whispered something to Su Yajing beside him, who then quickly got up and left.
For a while, no one else at the table could speak, except for the likes of Ruan Jinghong and Zhang Ruifeng, whose faces clearly showed shock.
If it weren’t Zhou Wang saying this, they would have scoffed, tens of billions, even hundreds of billions, who do you think you are!
But unfortunately, it was Zhou Wang who said it.
A man who could casually pull out hundreds of millions, as if he were buying groceries, to buy industries here and there.
A man who, without a sound, became the third-largest shareholder of Wuyou and the largest shareholder of BSK.
When such numbers came from his mouth, not only was it not incongruous, but it carried an inexplicable credibility.
At this moment, Lu Yuansong finally understood why Zhou Wang said he was here for him...
Because the Yalong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., which Lu Yuansong managed, was a subsidiary of Yalong Real Estate, specifically responsible for investing in and developing new projects.
In other words, the cultural tourism project Zhou Wang was talking about must be seeking cooperation with Yalong Real Estate.
"Mr. Zhou, can you be more specific?"
Lu Yuansong couldn’t help but sit up straight and became focused.
"Hold on."
At this moment, Su Yajing returned with a large stack of documents.
Zhou Wang took the documents from Su Yajing, rifled through them, and distributed a file titled "Basic Information of Qingsha Miao Village in Guizhou" to everyone.
"Please have a look at this first. We’ll talk after that."
Zhou Wang said with a smile.
As everyone flipped through the materials, Zhou Wang leaned back in his chair, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and his gaze turned deep.
The origin of everything naturally stemmed from the [Business Plan] exchanged from the System Store.
Or, more accurately, from a sudden idea that occurred to him a few days ago while he was daydreaming on the terrace.
Since he decided to collaborate with Young Master Zhang to develop the Miao Village, why not make it even bigger by utilizing all available resources?
Zhou Wang certainly had no confidence, but with the System backing him, he feared no failure.
Let’s just say, this get-together initiated by Zhou Wang himself, even having Lu Conglin invite Lu Yuansong to the banquet, had a bit to do with Lu Chen, but not entirely.
Although Zhou Wang could see from Lu Chen’s personal information that Lu Yuansong was Lu Chen’s father, this wasn’t his main focus.
What he was more concerned about was that Lu Yuansong managed the key department of Yalong Real Estate, and Yalong Real Estate had several successful cases in cultural tourism development.
Everything seemed to align perfectly. Collaborating with Yalong Real Estate, while bringing in the experienced Ruan who, according to Young Master Zhang, was seeking investment opportunities, and Tang Yiming, whose connections in the Southwest Region were extensive, covered all the bases.
This initiative had great potential.
Was organizing a banquet just to humiliate Lu Chen?
Zhou Wang wasn’t that idle.
Lu Chen wasn’t worth that much effort.
Seizing this opportunity to merge his current social connections in Yunan Province and maximize the potential of the System tools... this was his real aim.
As for warning Lu Chen, at most, that was just a side issue.
Lying on the terrace looking at the stars that day, although sparked by a whimsically sudden thought, boldly stepping forward and trying to lead a commercial project let Zhou Wang instantly understand many things.
In this sense, a man’s growth could take long years, or it could happen in a fleeting instant.
That was the case for Zhou Wang that day. At this moment, with misty eyes and tightly clenched fists, no one knew what Lu Chen was thinking, but it was the same for him too...
