Love You Till the End-Chapter 931 - 930: Young Master Jue So Capable at Such a Young Age

Su Zhenxiong was surprised to hear that Shi Aoju was willing to meet with him. He rarely discussed business partnerships and was notoriously ruthless in the business world, with very few merchants ever having entered his office.

Although Su Zhenxiong privately disapproved of this young man who was not yet thirty, the style and aura of Shi Aoju commanded admiration.

Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Shi Aoju lit a cigarette and remained silent while the assistant poured water and lit a cigarette for Su Zhenxiong.

Su Zhenxiong sized him up with a glance. Although they often encountered each other at meetings, they hadn’t had much interaction and could be said to have no connection at all.

This piece of land was something Su Zhenxiong originally wanted to bid on, but due to insufficient preparation and hearing that the Shi Family had their eyes on it too, he had to give up.

"Young Master Jue’s office is indeed grand," Su Zhenxiong said with an upward smile, contemplating how to negotiate with someone of such a strong presence without being overly flattering, since he was, after all, a senior.

"You’re too kind," Shi Aoju replied simply.

"It’s impressive how capable you are at such a young age, and your parents are truly fortunate," Su Zhenxiong remarked while taking a puff and slowly blowing out smoke rings. "I have only two daughters and am worried about finding a successor."

Su Zhenxiong knew well that Shi Aoju and Song Zhike were quite close, and it was probably due to Song Zhike’s influence that he agreed to meet.

He thought about mentioning this meeting to Song Zhike when he got home, as Song Zhike was his future son-in-law and might help facilitate the partnership.

Shi Aoju leaned forward to tap the ash into a nearby glass bowl, then spoke unhurriedly, "Chairman Su, feel free to speak your mind."

Su Zhenxiong locked eyes with him. This man was famous in the business world for being sly and cunning, adept at reading people and situations. Yet from the moment he entered, he had been scrutinizing Shi Aoju without discerning any of what lay in Shi Aoju’s mind.

When it came to concealment and negotiation, it was evident that Shi Aoju was a master.

"To be honest," Su Zhenxiong said, hearing the straightforward way Shi Aoju introduced the topic and deciding to cut to the chase himself, "this noon, my future son-in-law, Song Zhike, said you had acquired the land to the west of the city, and I was quite impressed. So I wanted to seek some advice."

He made sure to mention Song Zhike, clarifying their relationship.

Shi Aoju narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling how Song Zhike had been complaining just days ago about his cunning and devious father-in-law, and now Su Zhenxiong was using Song Zhike’s name in negotiations, which struck him as quite amusing.

"Not at all." Out of consideration for Su Jiuyi and Song Zhike, Shi Aoju modestly replied, "I’ve heard a lot about Chairman Su’s heroic deeds myself."

Su Zhenxiong laughed heartily, "Young Master Jue, you’re joking. I’m getting old and can’t compare to you and Zhike."

His tone suggested he was emphasizing his seniority.

Shi Aoju took a drag from his cigarette, reflecting that although he was indeed a senior, he was an extremely irresponsible one.

Su Jiuyi had suffered many grievances from a young age, all thanks to him. If he had offered Su Jiuyi a bit of care and encouragement, she would have been even more successful today.

The two talked for a long time about the land, mostly with Su Zhenxiong speaking and Shi Aoju listening, occasionally offering his opinion. Later, Su Zhenxiong realized they couldn’t do everything in one go and proposed they meet tomorrow with Song Zhike to play golf together.
