Hang City, Wangu Mansion.

On this day, Wei Jiansheng walked quickly into Wei Tiansheng's office.

"Father, Mortal Group just announced that they've decided to invite the architectural master Chen Shihong to design their headquarters. It seems they never intended to invite Wu Yili at all!"

Wei Jiansheng said, with a look of being played on his face.

Wei Tiansheng said, "What, who is this Chen Shihong?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "This person is known as one of the world's top ten architects, his reputation is much louder than Wu Yili's. Just while we were meeting with Wu Yili, Lin Fan was already negotiating with this Chen Shihong. The news from Auntie this time was unreliable!"

Wei Tiansheng frowned and said, "Damn, we wasted our efforts. Taking Wu Yili didn't make Lin Fan suffer at all!"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Father, I have a thought about this, so I came to you immediately."

Wei Tiansheng said, "What thought?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Could it be that Lin Fan already knows Auntie's identity, so he deliberately let Auntie reveal false information to us, or maybe Auntie has already betrayed us and is conspiring with Lin Fan to trick us?"

Wei Tiansheng immediately said, "Impossible, you're overthinking. I know your aunt, she wouldn't do such a thing. As for the first scenario, Lin Fan letting her reveal false information, it doesn't make sense either. Lin Fan couldn't have known in advance that I would intercept Wu Yili; he had no motive to do this."

Wei Jiansheng pondered and said, "You're right, Father, so we must have misunderstood this..."

Wei Tiansheng said, "Yue'er mentioned that Wu Yili was introduced to Lin Fan by Song Rongmao. I thought Lin Fan would give Song Rongmao face and definitely cooperate with Wu Yili. Who knew Lin Fan had already chosen his target! He's probably been worrying about how to shake off Wu Yili, especially since he still needs to explain to Song Rongmao. The result..."

Wei Jiansheng broke into a sweat, "The result is that he no longer has to worry, we helped him take her away. In this case, we not only didn't trip him up but actually gave him a huge help!"

This is like a thief intending to steal money but failing and even losing money instead.

Failing to steal the chicken and losing the rice instead.

Thinking of this, both father and son gritted their teeth in anger.

"Father, are we just going to swallow this in silence?" Wei Jiansheng said unhappily, damn, they originally wanted to make Lin Fan suffer in silence, and instead, they ended up suffering themselves.

Wei Tiansheng was also unhappy, pondering for a moment, and said, "Find Chen Shihong for me!"

Wei Jiansheng said, "What do you mean, Father?"

Wei Tiansheng sneered, "Isn't Lin Fan looking to cooperate with Chen Shihong? We will intercept again, one of the world's top ten architects, not bad, better than Wu Yili!"

Wei Jiansheng asked, "And what about Wu Yili?"

Wei Tiansheng said, "She is no longer of use to us, let her be."

Mortal Group Headquarters.

Lin Fan personally escorted Chen Shihong to the company entrance.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for coming today. I look forward to the day you officially join Mortal Group. Once we've drafted the contract here, we'll invite Mr. Chen back to discuss the cooperation details," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Chen Shihong chuckled, "Alright, I'll wait for President Lin's good news."

Accompanied by two assistants, Chen Shihong got into a car and soon left.

After meeting with Wu Yili, Lin Fan personally called Chen Shihong, inviting him over to continue discussions.

Lin Fan claimed that after talking with Chen Shihong in the morning, he held a board meeting to discuss hiring an architect, and the board unanimously agreed that Chen Shihong was the most suitable choice.

Lin Fan made two decisions as a result: to respect Chen Shihong's design and give him full creative freedom, and to agree to Chen Shihong's proposal of a high design fee of 100 million.

Naturally, Chen Shihong was very satisfied, and the two parties reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.

Lin Fan immediately made the news public, eager for the world to know that Mortal Group had hired a top-tier architect, giving Chen Shihong ample face.

Chen Shihong was somewhat dizzy with pride.

Back in the car.

Chen Shihong couldn't help but burst out laughing, extremely pleased with himself.

The two men were also very happy, the boss managed to negotiate such a huge deal, truly worthy of praise.

"The boss is indeed worthy, we bow to the boss!"

"What are you saying, I think that with the boss's capability, it's quite normal. In addition to the boss, could they find anyone better?"

The two subordinates competed with each other to flatter.

Chen Shihong proudly said, "That's right, exactly! I've always said, Lin Fan is the one begging me to design for him, it's not me interviewing with him, but me interviewing him!"

The two subordinates flattered him again.

Ring ring ring... 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

At this time, an unfamiliar call came in.

Chen Shihong told the two assistants to be quiet and then answered the call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Chen Shihong?" the other party asked.

Chen Shihong said, "I am, who are you?"

The other party said, "Hello Mr. Chen, my name is Wei Jiansheng from Jiangnan Wangu Group. We have a project recently, and we'd like to invite Mr. Chen to discuss it. Is Mr. Chen available to come to Hang City?"

The Jiangnan Wei Family!

Chen Shihong made an 'oh' sound, "What project?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Our Wangu Group wants to build a branch office in Yun City, and we'd like Mr. Chen to be our architect."

Chen Shihong laughed, "What a coincidence, I've already agreed to cooperate with Mortal Group."

Wei Jiansheng said, "It's okay, Mr. Chen can come and check it out. I guarantee it'll be worth your while."

Chen Shihong said, "I'll think about it."

After saying this, Chen Shihong hung up the phone, showing an expression of utmost pride on his face.

The two assistants were clueless, but they didn't dare to ask.

Chen Shihong laughed out loud, "Do you know whose call that was just now? Jiangnan Wangu Group! They also want to hire me as their architect! Humph, both the richest man in Jiangnan and the richest man in Yun City want me!"

The two assistants paused for a moment, then burst into laughter together.

"The boss is truly a genius, in such high demand!"

"Indeed, in this world, only the boss can make two tycoons fight over him. But we've already agreed to cooperate with Mortal Group, should we still talk with Wangu Group?"

Chen Shihong said, "You don't understand, do you? Do you know the principle of an auction? The highest bidder wins! With these two competing, we benefit!"

The two assistants realized it, flattered him once again, praising the boss for being wise and insightful.

Chen Shihong was very pleased, "Let's go to Hang City!"

Mortal Group Headquarters.

Lin Fan sat in the office when a call came in, it was Li Zhen calling.

"Brother Fan, you asked me to track the whereabouts of Chen Shihong and his entourage, the informant just reported that they're heading to Hang City," Li Zhen said.

Lin Fan smiled, "Great, I got it."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan showed a slight sneer.

Lin Fan learned from Wu Yili that before coming to him, she went to Wangu Group, forced to agree to help Wangu Group design the Yun City branch office.

On that exact same day, Lin Fan knew that Wei Tiansheng was targeting him, and Wei Tiansheng wanted to intercept!

That old fox Wei Tiansheng is relentless.

Since Wei Tiansheng loves intercepting so much, Lin Fan just let him intercept as much as he wants, so Lin Fan deliberately announced that he was going to cooperate with Chen Shihong. He wanted to see if the Wei family would still intercept.

Now, knowing that Chen Shihong went to Hang City, it seems the Wei family took the bait.
