After the three of them finished discussing the partnership, Wang Yue saw them off. He hadn't yet had a chance to tell Yu Manli to come out when Ming Cheng arrived.
Wang Yue was a little surprised to see Ming Cheng. He gestured for Yu Manli to stay hidden for now, then said with a smile, "It's been quite lively here today. First, Miss Yangzi from the Special High School and Miss Wang from the 76th Department came by. They'd barely left when you showed up."
Ming Cheng had also seen their motorcade leaving, so he smiled and said, "After Wang Fuqu died, the Japanese lost a merchant they could work with. Naturally, they need to find another shipping company to transport supplies. Mr. Wang's fleet is sizable, so it's no surprise Miss Yangzi came to you.
"As for Miss Wang, perhaps she wants to sell her uncle's fleet? Or maybe she wants to work with you?
"Even the Ming Family would like to work with you."
Wang Yue wasn't surprised that Ming Cheng had guessed some of it. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Is there something you'd like to work with me on? If it's possible, I'd be happy to."
Ming Cheng fixed Wang Yue with a piercing gaze and asked carefully, "Which sides would Mr. Wang be willing to do business with?"
As he spoke, he kept his eyes trained on Wang Yue, as though trying to tell from his expression whether he was lying.
From Ming Cheng's words, Wang Yue guessed that he was trying to hint at his identity. He was curious about Ming Cheng's intentions, but couldn't reveal anything just then, so he answered vaguely, "I'd work with anyone, no matter who they are. I'm just a businessman. I need to make money."
