Chapter 96 - Step 3

It has been a minute since his teacup was on his mouth. It seems like he would not put it down at any moment.

Same with his eyes. He was afraid to move up his eyes and meet the black ones that were trying to put a whole on his face.

Xiong Zhi was starting hard at Linfeng\'s face since he came.

They just exchanged greetings then Linfeng took his tea to drink.

Xiong Zhi missed Linfeng so much. She only meets Linfeng before going to school and after going to school. And all of that was on a car. To be exact, she could only be with Linfeng for less than 30 minutes a day.

She could not find Linfeng after bringing her home.

\'Seems like Linfeng is so busy these days.\'

"What are you up to these days?

\'Why can\'t you meet me often?\'

Xiong Zhi finally asked this question. But what she truly meant was in her thoughts.

" Uhm. I got busy since midterm for seniors is coming."

\' I\'m busy avoiding you.\'

Linfeng answered. Finally putting down the teacup but his eyes were still elsewhere.

Xiong Zhi took note of his actions. This action where he could not meet her eyes meant that Linfeng did something he was guilty about.

\'Was he lying? \'

Xiong Zhi was a bit sad. But then she cheered up. She remembered in the past that Linfeng only lied to her for her sake.

So she didn\'t ask much about it and let it pass.

"I see...how are you doing then?"

Linfeng sighed secretly. He doesn\'t know why but he felt stuffy after lying. Like he was doing something bad.

"It\'s fine. How about you? I\'ve heard Master Xiong assigned a task for you. My father told me about it."

Xiong Zhi actually wanted to talk more about personal things. Not to talk directly in the business. So she was a little bit disappointed. But she still answered.

"I\'m preparing. I\'m looking into it. What are your thoughts about it?" Since Butler Zhou Min already told the story to Linfeng, given by Linfeng \'s nature Xiong Zhi knew that he already got the gist of it and he probably must have some opinions about it.

And she was right.

"It\'s actually simpler if there\'s no Lu\'s involved. But since there is Lu\'s, having the land is not possible. So we might take chances on other sides. Like keeping the investors tightly on our side. Securing the deals before the end of this month. Not letting any information leaked out to their sides. But, I think they already got some news that Lu\'s got the land and ArtWorld may not be possible to build anymore. So what we can work on is how to convince them by staying with us before the end of your trial." Linfeng has the same advice.

\'They are really father and son.

\'Butler Zhou and Linfeng mentioned this because this is the right way to deal with it. In other words, the path that has the highest chances to win this trial.

\'And it is also the path that is the easiest-\'

"-easiest to take." Linfeng finally?meets Xiong Zhi eye to eye. Xiong Zhi was a bit stunned. She felt that Linfeng just heard her thoughts. Or was she saying it out loud?

"Pardon?" Xiong Zhi asked. Maybe Linfeng was saying something and she was thinking deeply that she didn\'t hear the things he mentioned last.

Linfeng was a bit startled as well as he accidentally met her eyes.

"Uh-what?" He was fl.u.s.tered as he could not get what Xiong Zhi was asking.

This time, it was Xiong Zhi who was in a business mode.

"You said, easiest? You mean this path is the easiest?"

Linfeng finally got the clue.

"Uh. Yeah."

"And there are other ways as well? But not easy? " Xiong Zhi stared deep in his eyes.

She was actually excited. She has a path that she wants to take for this matter. But it\'s not easy. It was all risk. Having this choice was not plausible at all. But she wants it.

\'Maybe Linfeng has the same idea...\'

Linfeng thought for a moment. Then he nodded seriously.

"There are other ways. But you only have a month. I think this first choice is good. We should brainstorm how can we secured the deals with the investors."

Linfeng stick to the first option.

Xiong Zhi was silent.

Linfeng just let her think more about it.

"Okay." Xiong Zhi answered after a few minutes.

Linfeng took his phone and open the file again.

"I will use my connections to lure investors to invest in a project. That project will hold them up in a month. But that is a ghost project. And before the final week of the month, we will let them sniff news that is a failing project. For sure, they will take out the money they invest immediately. But this one is only for backup."

Xiong Zhi knitted her brows.

She thought of this way. But she could not use this method since she can\'t let IHZHI have a smudge on its name. Specially it\'s a critical moment for IHZHI.

Second, which company would allow themselves to be condemned by the investors. The company\'s reputation would be affected and it would be hard for them to gain the trust of future investors.

The company that fors this would be digging its own grave.

So Xiong Zhi crossed out this method.

"I appreciate it. But, it\'s too bad for a whoever company who will take this task. Especially, these investors initially want to cooperate with the Xiong Empire. They are veterans who invest in a promising project for a big company. And no big company would take a risk such as that even it comes from a Xiong "

Linfeng took the hint of Xiong Zhi\'s main issue.

He smiled comfortingly.

"You\'re right. The company must be a big one and the project must be a big deal. But it must not be that totally big. Those veterans could give their money willingly for the company who is still green and the growth is astonishing. They will not let this opportunity pass."

Xiong Zhi fell into deep thoughts.

\'Not big but growing fast? \'

It was like her IHZHI.

She already crossed out IHZHI. She would not use her company for this method with only disadvantage and no gain. Besides, she would use her company for another matter.

\'If not IHZHI. Then which company?\'

"Have you heard of SC?"

Linfeng cut off her thoughts.
