Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1088 Hint

“Yes, it is getting old,” Gu Shaoting continued, “Mr. Wang, how about it? How are you considering the project? Making money is something we need to hurry with.”

“Not to criticize you, younger brother Gu, but do you know how valuable the land is nowadays? My demands aren’t high. This piece of land is well-located, truly a rare find.” His tone made it clear he was unwilling to compromise.

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoting responded with a faint smile, “Mr. Wang, let’s not beat around the bush. The funds for the later stages will all be supplied by me. We’ll split the profits equally. You won’t be at a loss. Just think, we are using top-tier materials to build the most luxurious star-rated hotel in Asia.”

Wang Dali pondered for a moment, seemingly weighing Gu Shaoting’s words.

Xia Xiaoqiao glanced at Gu Shaoting, then threw a coquettish look at Wang Dali, “Mr. Wang, with such a good deal, are you still hesitating?”

Wang Dali appeared smitten, but the shrewd businessman in him still prevailed. He glanced at the contract in his hands and then said, “Mr. Gu, how about this, I’ll go back and discuss with everyone. Once we’ve made a decision, have Xia, the secretary, send me the contract.”

...

It was evident he was starting to hesitate, indicating there was still room for negotiation, “Good, I hope to hear good news from you soon.”

Wang Dali nodded, his glance towards Xia Xiaoqiao carrying a significant meaning that made her feel uncomfortable.

…

On the way back, Gu Shaoting apologetically said to Xia Xiaoqiao, “Secretary Xia, you were put in a tough spot today.”

Actually, Gu Shaoting had seen it all. He knew Wang Dali’s character and had brought Secretary Xia today partly hoping she would help ease the atmosphere.

Xia Xiaoqiao was startled, realizing that Mr. Gu had noticed too, probably because Wang Dali might become a future partner, so he had stayed silent.

But she understood Gu Shaoting, since Mr. Wang hadn’t made any inappropriate moves, it wasn’t necessary to offend him. She had heard that Mr. Wang was a man with connections, and provoking him would certainly not be wise.

Despite any discomfort she felt earlier, the fact that Mr. Gu was now apologizing showed that he truly cared about her feelings.

“Mr. Gu, it’s okay, I just wanted to help you finalize the partnership as soon as possible.” As Gu Shaoting’s secretary, Xia Xiaoqiao was also aware of the current operations and, after many evaluations and considerations, she knew this project would indeed benefit both parties.

“Always protect yourself, no matter what,” Gu Shaoting said.

“Okay,” Xia Xiaoqiao nodded, moved.

Gu Shaoting returned to the office, finished the questionnaire, then looked at the time, nearly noon, and picked up the phone to call Shu Pan.

It took a while for the call to be answered, “What’s up?”

He seldom called her at this time.

“Lunch together?” Gu Shaoting had been uneasy ever since he saw a man eagerly greeting Shu Pan and offering to drive her home.

Shu Pan apologized, “Sorry, I have plans with a colleague.”

Gu Shaoting was a bit disappointed, “Then tonight, I’ll pick you up after work.”

“Alright,” Shu Pan knew that if she didn’t agree, Gu Shaoting would keep asking.

After hanging up, Gu Shaoting had Xia Xiaoqiao help him order a bouquet of red roses.

He had learned this from the internet the previous night. Women all have a penchant for romance, so he was catering to her tastes.

In the evening, he waited for Shu Pan at the usual spot after work.

Knowing he would be there, Shu Pan also arrived on time.

Shu Pan got into the passenger seat, and Gu Shaoting looked at her.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Shu Pan asked, bewildered.

“It’s nothing, I just wanted to ask, why aren’t you wearing the ring I sent?” He had actually been quite pleased with himself for sending the ring.
