Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1009 - Tang Xi... You Tricked Me!



Chapter 1009: Tang Xi... You Tricked Me!

At that thought, Chu Fangzheng felt less panicked, but he started feeling gloomy…

At this age, to start all over again… would be so hard!

At the thought of this, Chu Fangzheng really hated Chu Xun! But so what if he hated her… she was his child! He didn’t teach her properly back then and instead spent money to help the wicked perpetuate wicked deeds!

It was too late for regrets!

When Chu Fangzheng arrived in Jincheng, as he carried his briefcase, his steps were particularly heavy, completely different from his spirited manner upon waking up that morning.

Chu Fangzheng entered the teahouse and waited for Tang Xi in a suite as they had agreed upon. As the meeting time drew nearer, Chu Fangzheng’s heart sank lower and lower.

Chu Fangzheng quietly sat on the sofa, staring at his wristwatch as if in a trance…

Two minutes away. Chu Fangzheng was certain that Tang Xi wouldn’t be coming. He immediately picked up his phone and instructed his trusted aide to transfer out all the funds right away, and to do it discreetly and quickly!

The trusted aide was perplexed. “President Chu, this is our Chu Group and the Jiahe Corporation’s…”

“Just do as you’re told! Stop with the nonsense!”

Just then, the suite door opened…

Tang Xi looked as casual and suave as ever. He carelessly removed his jacket and said, “Yo… who made Brother Chu angry? Throwing such a big temper tantrum!”

When he heard Tang Xi’s voice, Chu Fangzheng turned his head abruptly. Seeing Tang Xi appear before his eyes, Chu Fangzheng seemed to have seen hope!

Since Tang Xi was there, it meant he didn’t trick him!

Chu Fangzheng held back the euphoria in his heart and said over the phone, “No need for the time being! Don’t do anything for now!”

Tang Xi turned around to hang his jacket, his lips turned up coldly.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Fangzheng quickly got to his feet. “Brother Tang! You’re finally here! Before you came, I was on tenterhooks! That ambiguous post your Jiahe Corporation’s official Weibo released made me break out in cold sweat! What exactly is the Jiahe Corporation going to collaborate with the Kaide Corporation on?”

The unsure Chu Fangzheng couldn’t help but talk more.

Tang Xi took out his cigarettes and lighter, then turned around. He saw Chu Fangzheng eagerly pouring tea into his teacup while humbly inviting Tang Xi to take a seat.

“I’m really not sure about this!” Tang Xi sat down across from Chu Fangzheng, then shook out a cigarette to bite at the corner of his lips before lighting it up. He said, “I saw on Weibo that Fu Huai’an and Third Brother’s personal Weibo accounts were tagged. Perhaps they talked about a project in private and didn’t mention the company!”

“Really?” Chu Fangzheng, although smiling, was panicking wildly. “Chairman Xie and your relationship has always been close, did he not even tell you about it?”

Tang Xi smiled. He casually tossed the lighter on the table and crossed his legs, saying, “How shall I put it? The Jiahe Corporation is Third Brother’s Jiahe Corporation. He’s the master, and I’m but an employee! There’s no reason for the boss to tell me, the employee, everything before proceeding, right?”

Chu Fangzheng nodded repeatedly, then opened his briefcase. He laid out the copy versions of the signed contracts on the table. “Brother Tang, this time, I tried my best. I raised more funds than we anticipated. Before the new coastal city project commences, they will transfer 30% of the funds to the Chu Group’s account! How about it, do you see my sincerity?”

Tang Xi smiled and nodded. “Let me look at the contract!”

Chu Fangzheng graciously pushed the documents towards Tang Xi…

Tang Xi crossed both legs and leisurely leaned against the back of the sofa, wielding a cigarette and flipping through the contracts. He asked, “Are the contents of all the contracts the same?”

Chu Fangzheng, feeling anxious, said, “Not entirely. I edited the contracts based on each company’s capability and funds, but this won’t affect the Jiahe Corporation. The Jiahe Corporation will be signing a contract with the Chu Group, and the Chu Group will be the one signing contracts with these companies. If a problem arises with these companies, naturally, the Chu Group will handle it. We will absolutely not cause any trouble for the Jiahe Corporation!”

He was showing his utmost sincerity in this collaboration!

Tang Xi nodded in mock seriousness, flipping through the documents leisurely and patiently.

Although Chu Fangzheng was incredibly anxious, he had no choice but to wait while Tang Xi looked at the contracts…

Chu Fangzheng had merely brought the contracts along to showcase his sincerity towards Tang Xi, not for Tang Xi’s perusal. After all, the Chu Group was the one signing these contracts. Since Tang Xi wasn’t the president of the Chu Group, why would he need to read them?

After god knows how long, Tang Xi’s phone vibrated. He picked up and answered it nonchalantly, then looked towards Chu Fangzheng, who was sitting opposite him.

Chu Fangzheng quickly smiled. Now that he had signed those contracts, if Tang Xi chose not to sign a contract with him, Chu Fangzheng would really have no way to save the Chu Group!

“Ok, got it…”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xi casually tossed the contracts he was holding onto the table. He put out his cigarette and said to Chu Fangzheng, “The new coastal city project this time, the higher-ups have decided to collaborate with the Kaide Corporation!”

Chu Fangzheng’s phone rang at this time. He glanced at it… It was the boss of one of the SMEs he signed a contract with. Chu Fangzheng’s brow twitched.

Even though he had somewhat anticipated such an outcome, Chu Fangzheng’s heart still turned cold and kept shivering. “Tang Xi… you tricked me!”

“How did a wily old fox like you get fooled by me?” Tang Xi smiled in a rogue-ish way. “As the saying goes, ‘a man whose heart isn’t content is like a snake which tries to swallow an elephant.’ Old man, it was you who yearned to cooperate with the Jiahe Corporation despite being clearly aware that your company isn’t capable enough. Can you blame this on me?”

The temples on Chu Fangzheng’s forehead kept popping, but he calmed himself down. This wasn’t the time to be angry at Tang Xi. He had to hurry up and make backup plans for himself!

Chu Fangzheng didn’t even bother taking the briefcase and copies of the contracts with him, simply grabbing his phone!

“President Chu…” Tang Xi leaned against the sofa and called out to Chu Fangzheng. “The reason I came today is to tell you that there’s no hope for the Chu Group, no hope for you! Stop struggling in vain. While we were looking at the documents here… the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation were holding a press conference to announce their collaboration on the new coastal city project. Chairman Xie Jingqiu of the Jiahe Corporation and Chairman Fu Huai’an of the Kaide Corporation will be signing the contracts together!”

Chu Fangzheng felt so enraged that it felt as if his eyes were about to pop out…

“Say… what will those SMEs that signed a contract with you do? Do you think you’ll still be able to transfer the funds away?” Tang Xi stood up and picked up his lighter and cigarettes. “The Chu Group’s share price is going to fall as drastically as it rose when it previously announced it was going to collaborate with the Jiahe Corporation on the new coastal city project!”
