When Chu Hansong heard the last sentence his son said to him, he knew he had been tricked by his own son. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novèlfire.net
Just as Chu Kuang said, when he saw Bi Xia’s proposal, he was indeed tempted. Moreover, after a thorough analysis, the success rate of that proposal, excluding external factors, was eighty percent.
However, thinking that the proposal was given to him by a high school student, and it came through his son, Chu Hansong still felt uneasy, so he decided to set up this Xu Family Banquet to test Bi Xia. If possible, he wanted to make Bi Xia lower his demands.
Thinking this, Chu Hansong used the same tactics he used when dining with other business partners. He just ate without discussing the proposal, making Bi Xia anxious. As long as Bi Xia got anxious, he would have won half the battle.
But he never expected that his own son had already sided with Bi Xia even before arriving. First, he tricked him with food, then in a flash, his son suggested they discuss quickly and then eat. This made it seem like Chu Kuang couldn’t wait, indirectly representing himself...
Chu Hansong watched Chu Kuang shrug at him, then lower his head and keep drinking water without speaking. Chu Hansong gritted his teeth and said, "Drink slower, or you’ll need to pee!"
Chu Kuang was obviously used to this, and he chuckled, "No worries, if I need to pee, I’ll just go. It won’t disturb you."
[Hahaha, Chu Hansong never expected to be tricked by his own son. Look at him now, it’s hilarious!] Xiao Wu laughed loudly, and 007 held his stomach and said, [Thinking of setting up an Xu Family Banquet, this is what we call a counter-strategy!]
Just as Chu Kuang and 007 said, on the way there, Chu Kuang had told her about Chu Hansong’s usual tactics. So, she and Chu Kuang came up with a counter-strategy. When they learned Chu Hansong was actually a foodie, the plan became even easier to implement.
Bi Xia slightly curled his lips, placed the teacup on the table, and looked at Chu Hansong with calm starry eyes, saying slowly, "Uncle Chu, I know you don’t trust me. After all, I’m just a high school student who recently bought a house from you, and I gave Chu Kuang a proposal for you, knowing about your conflict with the Meng Family. If I were you, I’d also be cautious and doubtful."
Seeing the composed demeanor of the young man opposite and hearing his words, Chu Hansong suddenly believed in the authenticity of the proposal. But he had never encountered such a young person before. "Since you know this, how do you plan to convince me?"
"You should know that without you, my odds against the Meng Family are 1:1. With your help, it’s at most 2:1. For me, it doesn’t matter."
"And," Chu Hansong looked at the silent Bi Xia, "why do you want to join me against the Meng Family? I know Meng Chi was rescued by you. Honestly, I admire you for your loyalty at such a young age. If not for you, I wouldn’t have been able to rescue Chi so quickly."
"However, I’m in the business world. Without understanding everything clearly, I won’t cooperate with you just because of a proposal and your good relationship with my son and Chi."
"Wrong," Bi Xia interrupted Chu Hansong calmly, "all wrong."
"Oh?" Chu Hansong looked at Bi Xia.
At that moment, the door of the private room was knocked on and then opened. A waiter pushed in with dishes, placing everything on the table and smiling politely at the three of them, "Please enjoy."
After the waiter left the room, the three fell silent. Bi Xia tasted the dishes made by ’Xu Family Banquet’ with a calm expression, his brows slightly furrowed. Chu Kuang also sensed the atmosphere wasn’t right, so he lowered his head and ate voraciously, completely forgetting his previous statement that ’Xu Family Banquet’s food tasted strange.’
Chu Hansong, however, didn’t move his chopsticks. He lowered his head, pondering slowly. Why did Bi Xia say everything was wrong? Why? Watching the youth’s calm demeanor, Chu Hansong looked at him and asked slowly, "Why do you say everything is wrong?"
Hearing Chu Hansong’s words, Bi Xia slowly put down his chopsticks and also looked at Chu Hansong, with a slight smile on his lips, "It’s not 2:1, it’s a hundred percent."
