Chapter 96

However, given Ren Yi'an's position, having first-hand information and prioritizing his own family first was normal.

It was like that in the upper-class circle.

Yu Moxun was already used to it.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Our company does indeed need to cooperate with others to make the project bigger, but I just don't find Ren Jifeng very pleasing to the eye lately..."

Rong Ci knew he was annoyed that Ren Jifeng liked Lin Wu.

Rong Ci really didn't care.

She said calmly: "The project proceeding smoothly and us striving to obtain the maximum benefit is the priority; everything else is secondary."

She had met Ren Yi'an once.

He might have selfish motives, but judging by their teacher's attitude toward him, Ren Yi'an was indeed trustworthy.

Yu Moxun said: "I know."

He was just saying it.

He raised his chin and hummed, saying: "Anyway, there's still some time before our official investment solicitation, so I'll leave him hanging for a bit."

Rong Ci smiled: "Okay."

As long as he was happy.

After Ren Jifeng's call, Rong Ci and Yu Moxun continued to chat about business.

But half an hour later, Yu Moxun's phone rang again.

Seeing the caller ID, this time, he was both disdainful and triumphant.

Rong Ci knew it was another acquaintance calling and asked: "... Who?"

Yu Moxun smiled: "He Zhangbai."

"Also seeking cooperation?"

"Very likely."

Like Ren Jifeng, he didn't have much interaction with He Zhangbai, Qi Yuming, and the others.

It was impossible for He Zhangbai to call him for no reason.

Besides, the He family, like the Ren family, had people in both the political and military sectors.

They were very well-informed.

Yu Moxun asked Rong Ci: "Should I answer?"

Rong Ci was Feng Tingshen's wife. He Zhangbai and the others, as Feng Tingshen's childhood friends, looked down on her but accepted Lin Wu, the mistress, and were even on such good terms with her.

In his view, He Zhangbai was even more detestable than Ren Jifeng.

Rong Ci said: "Answer it."

She didn't want Yu Moxun to act on impulse.

Yu Moxun answered.

Just as he thought, He Zhangbai, like Ren Jifeng, was indeed calling to seek cooperation.

After stating his intention, He Zhangbai said: "I'm on a business trip out of town right now and will return to Ducheng tomorrow noon. Shall we have a meal together tomorrow night?"

Yu Moxun said calmly: "Thank you for the favor, Mr. He, but the project has just been developed and the company has a lot of things to do. I really can't spare the time tomorrow, maybe next time."

"Then Thursday?"

Yu Moxun: "I might not have time then either, but if I do, I will definitely contact you at the first opportunity."

He Zhangbai also knew that these two projects of their company would be highly sought after in the future, and Yu Moxun indeed didn't have to worry about not finding investors.

He said: "Alright, I'll be waiting for your call at any time, Mr. Yu."

After hanging up, Yu Moxun was so happy he slapped the table and laughed non-stop: "Refreshing!"

Rong Ci also smiled.

As Yu Moxun laughed, he suddenly quieted down, looked at Rong Ci, and said: "Do you think... Feng Tingshen's side might also want to cooperate with us?"

Counting it up, they and Xundu were considered the same type of company.

There was a competitive relationship between them.

However, one could also seek cooperation amidst competition.

Didn't Feng Tingshen take a fancy to their language system last time and take the initiative to cooperate with them?

Counting these two projects of theirs carefully, there were really quite a few projects that could cooperate with Xundu...

Upon hearing this, Rong Ci said calmly: "I'm not sure. However, everything should start from the project itself; we can put personal grudges aside for now."

"I know."

Being a little temperamental was fine, but when it came to the real deal, he never acted on impulse.

Speaking of which, Yu Moxun was actually quite looking forward to Feng Tingshen calling him.

However, his expectation fell through.

Next, he received several more calls.

They were all here to seek cooperation on the new project.

But there were no calls related to Feng Tingshen.

However, near the end of the workday, he received a call from a stranger.

He looked at it twice and answered it anyway.

The other side spoke first: "Is this Mr. Yu? I am Lin Lihai, Lin Wu's father."

Yu Moxun stopped in his tracks immediately.

He held the phone further away and said to Rong Ci: "Lin Lihai."

Rong Ci looked at him without speaking.

Having known each other for many years, Yu Moxun naturally understood what she meant.

If one could ignore personal grudges with others and prioritize cooperation.

Then for the Lin family, there was absolutely no need for that.

Yu Moxun put the phone back to his ear, his tone carrying a smile, but his eyes were cold: "So it's Mr. Lin. I wonder what business Mr. Lin has with me?"

Lin Lihai was indeed also here to seek cooperation with Yu Moxun.

After he stated his intention, Yu Moxun said: "I understand Mr. Lin's meaning. If it's suitable, we will definitely consider Mr. Lin at the first opportunity. Please rest assured about this, Mr. Lin."

Lin Lihai wasn't stupid either; he knew Yu Moxun had said everything perfectly, but what would actually happen was still completely uncertain.

He still wanted to find an opportunity to invite Yu Moxun out for a meal, but Yu Moxun hung up the phone on the grounds that he still had things to busy himself with.

He looked at Rong Ci and said: "Ren Jifeng, He Zhangbai, and the others are among the top wealthy and prestigious families in the country. I can understand them receiving the news at the first opportunity, but the Lin family..."

As newcomers to Ducheng, the Lin family hadn't even stood firmly on their feet yet, and they had received the news so early, which meant...

Rong Ci knew he wanted to say that the Lin family receiving the news so quickly might have been leaked to the Lin family by Feng Tingshen or He Zhangbai and the others.

Given Feng Tingshen's feelings for Lin Wu and the relationship between He Zhangbai and Lin Wu, it was nothing strange for them to tell the Lin family the news.

Yu Moxun curled his lips.

His good mood had been ruined just like that.

But he knew Rong Ci's mood was even worse.

He said: "Let's go, Senior Brother has plenty of money; Senior Brother will treat you to a big meal!"

Rong Ci's mood actually wasn't as bad as Yu Moxun thought.

Regarding many things, she had truly already let go.

Her mood would no longer be easily swayed by those people.

Furthermore, this time, the initiative was in her hands.

She had nothing to worry about.

However, since Yu Moxun wanted to treat her to a meal, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

She smiled: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

After saying that, she went out with Yu Moxun.
