"Bi Xia, what did you just say?" Upon hearing Bi Xia’s words, Chu Kuang felt his mind go blank, unable to react for a moment.
Carefully examining the contract handed over by Manager Wang, Bi Xia picked up a pen and signed his name in the Party A’s signature space. Though the name ’Bi Xia’ was written with a ballpoint pen, it exuded an impressive allure, and an indescribable arrogance seemed to seep from each stroke.
After putting away the file folder prepared by Manager Wang, Bi Xia slowly stood up and said to Chu Kuang, "How are you getting home?"
"Huh?" Chu Kuang was slightly stunned by Bi Xia not answering his question but instead asking another. He then said, "The driver is picking me up."
Bi Xia nodded indifferently, "Tell your driver not to come. I’ll drive you home," he said, watching Chu Kuang’s dazed expression. Bi Xia raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don’t worry, I drive very steadily."
Chu Kuang didn’t even know how he ended up calling his driver to tell him not to come or how he got into Bi Xia’s car.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely take the time to enjoy sitting in a Lamborghini, but right now, he clearly wasn’t in the mood. At this moment, his mind was entirely occupied with Bi Xia’s earlier words.
Looking at the calm teenager in sunglasses, Chu Kuang finally couldn’t hold back. "I say, Bi Xia, stop keeping me in suspense. What you said just now, is it true? A hundred percent guaranteed? And how did you know we were competing with the Meng Family for a piece of land?"
Glancing at Chu Kuang, Bi Xia smirked, "You’re asking so many questions. Which one should I answer first?"
Chu Kuang paused and then exclaimed, "Ahhh, Your Majesty! My dear Majesty, please stop teasing me, I’m really anxious!"
Saying this, Chu Kuang drooped his head, sitting in the passenger seat. "You don’t know, these past few days, the Meng Family somehow found a powerful backer. Their influence is about to surpass our Chu Family."
"Although I haven’t taken over the company yet, I know we’re planning to acquire that piece of land to develop a commercial street. It’s close to the city center, making it incredibly profitable. But who knew the Meng Family would suddenly appear to compete? My old man said the Meng Family has a high chance of winning it."
"Do you know about Meng Chi’s stepmother?" asked Bi Xia.
Chu Kuang lifted his head, scratching his red hair, "What? Stepmother? Ah!!! You mean that woman! Of course, I know her!"
"Do you know who she’s backed by?" Bi Xia asked again.
Chu Kuang furrowed his brow, "I’ve heard my old man mention it. It seems her second brother is involved in shady dealings, and he’s been doing quite well in recent years."
"You’re right," Bi Xia replied, steering the wheel and honking the horn. The security guard at the gate, upon seeing Chu Kuang in the sports car, opened the gate. Bi Xia slowly drove in, "Her brother expanded his influence through drug trafficking and has a major backer behind him."
"With more power, broader connections, and more money, isn’t it natural that they now have the ability to go against your Chu Family..." Bi Xia parked the car and calmly said to the frowning Chu Kuang.
Chu Kuang took a deep breath, drug trafficking...
Honestly, Chu Kuang never imagined the Meng Family had risen this way, or that they had ties with the underworld...
"So when you said a hundred percent..." Chu Kuang turned to look at Bi Xia. Discover more novels at ⓝovelFire.net
Resting his chin on his hand placed on the car window, Bi Xia opened the convertible, feeling the breeze, and said slowly, "A hundred percent guarantee we’ll get that piece of land."
Chu Kuang pressed his lips together, thought for a moment, and then said, "Bi Xia, I can’t make the decision on this. I need to tell my dad, and even then... I can’t be sure of the outcome."
Bi Xia nodded in understanding and handed Chu Kuang a business plan. "Tell your dad I can take care of the Meng Family and their backer, Yuan Gang. He can secure the land without any worries, but in return, I want him to develop that piece of land with me."
