Fu Hengzhou's Recruitment

Hearing that, Xue Chen smiled. "That favor of yours might bankrupt me someday, you know?"

"That's very possible, but perhaps I'll be the one who goes bankrupt instead. So, what do you say? Interested?" Fu Hengzhou's words carried a double meaning.

Fu Hengzhou's Recruitment

"You're...?" Xue Chen looked at the black RV before him, its door already open. The person who had just been speaking with him on the phone sat inside, smiling at him. "Mr. Fu, you don't mind if I'm blunt, do you? Did your company go bankrupt?"

Fu Hengzhou smiled. "Wasn't I taking you to look at that plot of land? Today's the day for an on-site inspection." He shifted slightly to one side. "What? Worried about me?"

"Mr. Fu, I don't want to play games with you." Xue Chen sighed.

At Xue Chen's words, Fu Hengzhou's aura changed. His former gentleness vanished. Looking at the car door that had already closed before him, he said, "Let's go. I definitely won't make you take a losing deal."

Xue Chen did not ask anything more and could only get into Fu Hengzhou's RV. Yet Fu Hengzhou's earlier words kept resurfacing in his mind.

"I'm not King Zhou of Shang. I wouldn't do something so pointless." Fu Hengzhou's lips curved slightly, a teasing glint in his eyes. "If you want to truly gain a foothold in Hong Kong City, relying on the Xie Household alone won't be enough. As for Qin Zhou... he can't represent the entire Qin Household yet."

"Don't get so close to me." Xue Chen shoved away the head leaning toward him, looking at Fu Hengzhou with a disgusted expression.

"Fine." Seeing Xue Chen's expression, Fu Hengzhou quickly raised both hands to show that he meant nothing else. He turned his gaze toward the window and continued, "I know what you're worried about. I don't eat people."

Xue Chen tilted his head, his brows lifting in clear disbelief.

The car soon arrived at one of the plots Fu Hengzhou had set his sights on. Someone in charge was already waiting there, and the moment he saw Fu Hengzhou arrive, he immediately came forward to greet him.

After getting out of the car, Xue Chen walked around the plot. A place like this would be perfect for opening a supermarket. The north-to-south road was lined with residential buildings, while the road ahead was full of storefronts. "It really is a good location."

"Mr. Fu, you're finally here. These are the contracts. Please see if there are any problems." After speaking, the person in charge took out a contract and handed it to Fu Hengzhou's assistant, A-Cheng.

After reading through it, A-Cheng passed it to Fu Hengzhou. Fu Hengzhou flipped through it casually and said, "I want this plot. Tell me how you intend to price it."

The person in charge glanced at Fu Hengzhou, then at A-Cheng. "You know this area well enough—the price certainly won't be low. You aren't short of money, and there are plenty of others interested in this place too, so..." His tone was somewhat hesitant.

A-Cheng looked at Fu Hengzhou, seemingly asking for his opinion. Fu Hengzhou nodded, signaling for A-Cheng to speak.

"We'll add ten percent profit to the original price of the land. I think that should be enough to satisfy you." After saying that, A-Cheng stepped aside.

"Of course." The person in charge looked at Fu Hengzhou with anticipation. He was no fool. He had already heard from Fu Hengzhou's tone that the man was dissatisfied with his offer, but he did not dare offend Fu Hengzhou too badly. After all, Fu Hengzhou was a major figure in his own right. If he angered someone like that, their company would have no place left in Hong Kong City.

"You must find it strange why a plot that had clearly already entered the auction process could still be transferred so easily?" Fu Hengzhou said lightly as he looked at the person in charge.

"It's all because of money and power," Xue Chen snorted.

Fu Hengzhou nodded. "Exactly. You're right. So if you want to invest in real estate, I'm your best partner."

Xue Chen froze for a moment after hearing Fu Hengzhou's words, but he quickly regained his composure. "I just want to ask you something. You don't seem like someone who makes losing deals. Are you so sure that working with me will make money?"

"Old Xue... what a coincidence. You came to look at land too?" A man's voice came from nearby. A man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight ran over from a short distance away. Upon seeing Xue Chen, he smiled. "Oh, isn't this Young Master Fu? You had time to come here today?"

Xue Chen frowned at the person who had suddenly appeared, but he still smiled. "Oh, I came to look at the land with Little Chen. What, is Young Master Fang interested in this place too?"

"Me?" Fang Jimin smiled. "I'm not interested in this place. I was just passing by and came in to take a look at the plot. I just didn't expect to see Chenchen." With that, he looked at Xue Chen beside him, wearing a surprised expression.

"Cough, cough!" Xue Chen nearly choked on his own saliva. This guy was revolting enough with the way he spoke, and he even called him Chenchen. He actually had the nerve to say it, and so naturally too. Even Fu Hengzhou's expression changed.

"Young Master Fang, you really do get familiar with people quickly. Little Chen can actually tolerate it." Fu Hengzhou looked at Fang Jimin with a faint smile at the corner of his lips, though his eyes carried a chill.

"Haha!" Fang Jimin laughed awkwardly. "Can't be helped. Chenchen is a well-behaved kid, unlike certain people, who are beastly beneath a human face and have impure intentions."

"Young Master Fang is certainly thoughtful. If Miss Cui Na knew you were so considerate, she would surely think married life would be blissful." A wicked smile curled on Fu Hengzhou's lips.

"Yes, yes, of course..." Fang Jimin nodded repeatedly, but his face soon twisted into a gritted-teeth expression.

Watching Fu Hengzhou and Fang Jimin trade barbs, Xue Chen was speechless. Looking at the two of them, he said, "If you two are really so bored, why don't we go somewhere else and continue discussing my name?"

Fu Hengzhou and Fang Jimin nodded at the same time. "Sure."

They spoke in unison, then immediately headed toward the parking lot, leaving Xue Chen standing there with a bewildered expression.

Fu Hengzhou's and Fang Jimin's cars were parked in the same place, so they reached the parking lot together.

"Young Master Fu, may I also invest in your real estate project?" Fang Jimin asked with a smile as he came to the car door.

Fu Hengzhou glanced at Fang Jimin and said blandly, "Sorry, my investment project already has enough funding."
