Chapter 80: Do You Speak with Enough Weight?

After hearing the other party’s words, Shen Fei stood frozen in place.

The people from Qiankun Group were looking for him?

This meant that Qiankun Group had already learned that the land had been bought by him and had obtained his contact information.

It had only been a little more than ten hours since the purchase.

If he had bought the land later, it would have certainly been Qiankun Group who got it, not him!

Fortunately, the inspection office moved quickly, and the stock price of Kong Group had dropped to nine yuan just in time!

If he had delayed for another day, he would have missed this project.

Thinking of this, Shen Fei felt extremely lucky.

After a long pause with no response from Shen Fei, Cao Yuan felt unsure.

“Mr. Shen? Are you still there?”

“Yes, I bought the land in Li Jia Village,” Shen Fei said calmly.

“May I ask, did you purchase it in your own name, or was someone else entrusting you?” Cao Yuan asked politely.

“Does it make a difference?” Shen Fei replied.

“Of course it does!”

Cao Yuan suddenly raised her voice, and realizing her abruptness, she lowered her tone again.

“Apologies, Mr. Shen, here’s the thing…”

“If you bought it yourself, I can speak with you directly. But if you were entrusted, then I would need to know the contact information of the person who entrusted you. Of course, Qiankun Group will treat you well!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei knowingly asked,

“I bought it myself! Why do you ask? Could it be that Qiankun Group is interested in the land as well?”

“Yes, Mr. Shen! How about we set up a time to have tea and discuss the land?” Cao Yuan proposed.

Shen Fei replied seriously,

“What position do you hold in Qiankun Group? Or, do you speak with enough authority?”

“I’m just a minor senior executive, there’s no real issue of authority,” Cao Yuan answered, though she didn’t quite understand Shen Fei’s intent.

Not knowing what he meant, Cao Yuan was still upfront.

Upon hearing that, Shen Fei shook his head and directly said,

“Then forget it! Since Qiankun Group wants the land, send someone with more authority to negotiate with me! Otherwise, it’s just going to be a waste of time with all these back-and-forths!”

This was his way of expressing his willingness to sell Li Jia Village, but only at the right price.

Cao Yuan’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Shen, you’re willing to sell?”

She hadn’t expected that after buying the land just yesterday, he was already thinking about selling it.

This meant the process would likely be straightforward, and the difficult part would be negotiating the terms.

“Yes! But only if Qiankun Group offers a price that’s enough. Otherwise, there’s no need to discuss!” Shen Fei said with a slight smile.

At this point, Cao Yuan found herself in a dilemma.

From the composed tone and logical manner of the other party, she could tell that Shen Fei was not someone easy to deal with.

Even if Qiankun Group could eventually acquire the land, there would be significant hurdles along the way.

“Since you said so, Mr. Shen, I’ll have my superior reach out to you,” Cao Yuan said, frowning.

After hanging up, Shen Fei’s mood remained unchanged. He continued strolling casually towards the market, not at all disturbed by the phone conversation.

Meanwhile, Cao Yuan immediately reported the situation to Jiang Rou and sent Shen Fei’s phone number.

At Qiankun Group, Jiang Rou stared at the digits on her phone, feeling uneasy.

Based on Cao Yuan’s report, it was clear that Shen Fei was not an easy person to deceive.

Moreover, there was a chance that he would ask for an inflated price.

If Shen Fei had been a bit more polite, she wouldn’t have been so anxious. However, since he had been so direct, asking for someone with authority to negotiate, it indicated that he was tough to handle.

But Jiang Rou was no pushover either.

Having worked in the business world for more than a decade, she had been headhunted by Qiankun Group with a salary in the tens of millions, which proved her competence.

“I hope this person is easy to deal with,” she muttered under her breath, not knowing all of Shen Fei’s background.

However, she wasn’t planning on calling him just yet. She wanted to let him stew a bit to make him more eager before their negotiations began.

But what she didn’t expect was that Shen Fei was far simpler than she imagined.

He was a reborn individual, with billions in assets from his past life, a business tycoon with immense power!

How could she control him?

…

When Shen Fei got home, he was busier than ever!

Braised pork, potatoes with braised ribs, oil-braised shrimp, Beijing-style shredded pork…

He made several big dishes in one go.

He seemed to have forgotten all about Qiankun Group’s inquiry, completely immersed in his cooking.

Under his expert skills, the dishes were a feast for both the eyes and taste buds.

Once the dishes were placed on the table, both Han Xinyan and Shen Jiayue immediately expressed their delight.

After a satisfying meal, the two of them rubbed their stomachs contentedly.

“Daddy, I want to eat more of your other dishes! This is the best food I’ve had in three years!” Shen Jiayue said, taking a bite of the cheese stick Shen Fei had made, looking at him with adoration.

“You little one, you’re only three years old, how many meals have you eaten?” Shen Fei laughed at Shen Jiayue’s comment and pinched her small nose.

“But since Jiayue likes it, daddy will keep cooking! Is that okay?”

“Hehe, yes! Now I want to eat another cheese stick! Later, I want yogurt sticks, milk sticks…”

Shen Jiayue laughed as Shen Fei teased her, continuing to add to the menu.

Watching Shen Fei play with Shen Jiayue, Han Xinyan couldn’t help but smile warmly.

The smile that had not appeared for a long time was back on her face.

It felt like this was the first time in three years that their family of three had such a warm and harmonious moment!

Suddenly, a phone ring interrupted this happy moment.

“Mr. Shen, hello! I’m Jiang Rou, the CEO of Qiankun Group! Do you think I qualify to meet with you and discuss?”

Jiang Rou had waited until after office hours to call Shen Fei. She wasted no time and immediately introduced herself as soon as the call was connected.

In her view, the issue of Li Jia Village should not be this complicated.

“Could you repeat that? Who are you? I didn’t quite catch that…” Shen Fei asked, pretending he hadn’t heard her tone of arrogance.

“…”

“I am Jiang Rou, CEO of Qiankun Group!”

Jiang Rou suppressed her irritation and reintroduced herself.

“Would you be willing to discuss this with me?”

“Hehe, sure!” Shen Fei teased her, feeling in a good mood.

“Alright! How about 8:30 tonight at the Z.G.C restaurant? Does that work for you?”

Jiang Rou suggested a time and place.

“Sure! I’ll be there,” Shen Fei answered calmly.
