Chapter 233: I Invited a Distinguished Guest

Blue Whale Restaurant.

In a secluded corner of the lobby, four people sat—two men and two women.

Zhang Lekang, Zhang Jian, Zhao Ying, and Lu Shanshan.

After the auction of the platinum princess concluded and everyone left, Zhang Jian lowered his conditions even further.

As long as the daughter agreed to be Zhang Jian's girlfriend, the thirty million in financing would be transferred to Zhao Ying's account immediately, without delay.

This news delighted Zhao Ying, and she immediately dragged Lu Shanshan to the Blue Whale Restaurant to discuss the matter in detail.

Along the way, Zhao Ying repeatedly and earnestly tried to persuade her daughter, saying that Zhang Jian was essentially just handing them money!

Regardless of whether Lu Shanshan was willing or not, as long as she agreed to be Zhang Jian's girlfriend for the time being, thirty million would be deposited.

This was a golden opportunity to seize back control of the company and launch a counterattack against Zheng Qian!

If she really didn't want to, she could just pretend to agree. It wouldn't be too late to break up after the money arrived.

Lu Shanshan tried to decline repeatedly, but in the end, she couldn't overcome her mother's stubbornness.

Her mother even threatened to sever their mother-daughter relationship, which forced Lu Shanshan to come here with her.

She was extremely reluctant.

"Oh Mom, can't you see the situation clearly? Wouldn't it be better to just cling to Zheng Qian?"

Everyone else thought that Zheng Qian only said he bought the yacht as a gift for a woman to fob off the auctioneer.

But in Lu Shanshan's eyes, he was genuinely capable of such a grand gesture.

Judging from the expression on Song Yaxian's face at the time, combined with her own understanding of Zheng Qian, Lu Shanshan could tell that this was nine times out of ten true!

Lu Shanshan had asked before if Song Yaxian was Zheng Qian's girlfriend, and Song Yaxian had denied it.

To pursue Song Yaxian, Zheng Qian had spent money like water, dropping five hundred million all at once. Such a grand gesture, such massive wealth.

Her mother insisted on looking further afield to seek financing from Zhang Lekang of Kangming Shipping; she really couldn't understand her mother's actions.

But Lu Shanshan couldn't win against her mother, who had even threatened to sever their mother-daughter relationship. What else could Lu Shanshan do?

"Dad, why did you come to Jiangnan on such short notice?"

"I've arranged to meet a very important guest who will be here shortly. I might need to head to a private room later, so I won't be able to stay and eat with you. Let's discuss whatever you need to quickly."

After receiving some news, Zhang Lekang hadn't even cared about his stroke; he had his secretary book a ticket and flew directly to Jiangnan, landing just twenty minutes ago.

"Lekang, let's keep it brief then," Zhao Ying asked.

Zhang Lekang nodded. He saw that they were almost done eating; the sooner they finished talking about his son's business, the better.
