Chapter 495: Old Fox
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mr. Lang was quite pleased and began to tell Chen Mo and Xu Ye about his entrepreneurial journey abroad.
Chen Mo found the conversation dull and tried to leave several times, but Xu Ye kept pressing him down.
“I’ve enjoyed the conversation with Mr. Xu and Mr. Chen today, and this meal was worth the long wait,” Mr. Lang said contentedly, his face greasy as he held up his wine glass and slightly swayed while standing up.
“As for the matter of cooperation…” he said, burping from the alcohol, “I’ve had a bit too much to drink today. Let’s talk about cooperation another day!”
Mr. Lang finished his drink and wobbled towards the exit, leaning on the table.
Xu Ye hurriedly stood up to help him, but Mr. Lang waved him off, shouting loudly, “Secretary Chen! Where are you? Where have you gone?”
Mr. Lang’s voice was loud, and the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.
Secretary Chen helped Mr. Lang, nodded to Xu Ye and Chen MO, and then turned to leave with Mr. Lang.
Xu Ye stood at the door of the private room, watching Mr. Lang’s retreating figure, and spat lightly: “Pah! This old fox, playing tricks with his drinking!” Chen MO sat in his chair, sipping his wine, “Did you call me here just for this?”
Xu Ye sat back down next to Chen MO, took a swig of his drink, and said, “Don’t be fooled by this old fox’s appearance; he’s quite skilled in business.” “If you want to expand your business, you’ll probably have to deal with him in the future. ”
“I heard he recently returned to the country, so I specially invited him over.”
“It seems, though, that things won’t go smoothly.”
“Hmm,” Chen MO replied indifferently to Xu Ye’s long speech.
“Alright, tell me about your situation!” Xu Ye stood up and poured another glass of wine for Chen Mo.
“Did you see Xia Wan today? Have you figured out your little rival’s intentions?” Xu Ye asked teasingly.
Chen MO downed his drink in one gulp, “Haven’t you already investigated everything clearly? Why ask me about that kid’s motives?”
“Besides, I trust Xia Wan.”
Xu Ye’s eyes twitched, and he said, “Fine, I know your love is unbreakable and sacred.”
“But I think that Jiang guy really has ill intentions. I worry he might have some hidden secrets. You’d better be careful.”
Chen MO responded with a “Hmm,” “Keep investigating. As for Xia Wan, she’s also cautious. There shouldn’t be any problems for now.”
“I heard Xia Wan’s family took over the shop opposite theirs,” Xu Ye said, “I hear that shop is not just owned by that clerk but has broader implications.” “Then let that shop stay clean,” Chen MO said casually.
Xu Ye was momentarily stunned, then laughed, ‘You really do think of her in everything.”
“She’s worth it,” Chen MO said, a smile appearing on his face.
Xu Ye, unable to bear it, rolled his eyes and shook his head, “Look at you, all smitten.”
“What about that list I asked you to prepare? What did she say?” Xu Ye pressed on.
Those businesses were all in a grey area and had now become ownerless.
If it weren’t for his preemptive action, breaking both the police’s trail and the overt capital grabs, those assets would probably have been divided up long ago.
But news about these assets couldn’t be hidden forever and would soon attract attention.
Then they might face even more trouble.
“No rush,” Chen MO said lightly, seemingly unconcerned about potential troubles.
“I advise you to plan ahead, to avoid being targeted. Otherwise…”
“I know,” Chen MO interrupted Xu Ye’s advice and stood up to leave, “My dad is coming tomorrow. If there’s nothing else, don’t contact me for now.”
Xu Ye frowned and stared at Chen Mo’s retreating figure, “Am I that intolerable? Do I need to avoid your dad?”
“Chen MO, all these years, my sincerity towards you, how can you treat me like this!”
Xu Ye, looking forlorn, only got a response from Chen MO without turning his head, “A family dinner, you sure you want to come?”
Chen Mo’s words immediately shut Xu Ye up..
