Chapter 991: Chapter 990 Trouble Comes Knocking

He Ming sighed helplessly, “I really don’t know what the problem is. A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets. Now, I can only cater to everything.”

“Just be more accommodating,” Gu Shaoting couldn’t offer any advice to the other party because his own family life was also a mess.

He felt like there was an invisible wall between him and Shu Pan, making it hard for him to reach her heart. He knew there was a problem, but he didn’t know how to solve it.

He Ming shrugged his shoulders, “That’s all we can do.”

Having finally finished the last document, Gu Shaoting capped his fountain pen and moved his sore shoulders, “Tell me, what’s up?”

“The contract with Guang Da is ready. It’s the one you asked me to prepare over the phone the day before yesterday. Take a look,” said He Ming, handing over the contract.

Gu Shaoting carefully read through it and then nodded, “Great.”

“But didn’t you always refuse to work with Guang Da before? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?” He Ming asked, puzzled. He knew about it because there had been such firm refusals before.

Gu Shaoting raised his eyebrows, “I had no choice.” Some things are really beyond one’s control.

“But are you really sure about this? Guang Da’s Wang Dali is not someone to be trifled with. He’s known to be ruthless and merciless in his actions. You’ll have to be careful when dealing with him,” He Ming said. When he first heard the name, he thought he’d heard wrong.

“I don’t want to provoke, but I’ve already been provoked. You don’t go looking for trouble, but trouble comes looking for you,” Gu Shaoting rubbed his forehead.

“How did you get entangled with him?” He Ming was curious, as they should not have had any contact with such a person.

“Last time I went golfing with Director Lu from Sheng Tian, we met Wang Dali on the golf course. Since then, he’s been calling me about a piece of land he wants us to develop together to build the largest five-star hotel in Bin City. There were other collaborations for which he called previously, but I always refused on the grounds of having fixed partners. I didn’t know what excuse to use this time,” Gu Shaoting declined initially, but the other party’s words sounded almost like a threat.

He wasn’t afraid since it was a society ruled by law, but he still had to be cautious as he had a wife and child.

“It’s easy to fend off an attack you can see, but hard to guard against a hidden one, so it’s best not to offend malicious people. If it’s a legitimate cooperation involving investing several billion with a return, I can accept that.”

After all, he is a businessman, making money while also getting rid of trouble.

“Have you investigated this?” He Ming frowned, feeling it was a trap.

“Yes, I’ve inquired. Indeed, Guang Da previously won an auction for a large piece of land. They haven’t started planning yet because the land wasn’t cheap, leading to a shortage of funds for further development,” Gu Shaoting had people check on this long ago, and the land was legally acquired through a normal bidding process.

“If it’s normal cooperation, earning money shouldn’t be hard, as Bin City lacks high-end five-star hotels, but it’s unknown how sincere he is,” He Ming pondered.

“That’s why I had you prepare the contract. If I’m putting in money, I must have a share. Let’s see what he says,” Gu Shaoting spoke in a businessman’s tone.

“Okay. Oh, by the way, Shaohuai is coming back. Did you know about that?” Gu Shaoting was taken aback. He Shaohuai? Their buddy who traveled abroad with a woman he met, and reportedly, things hadn’t been going too well overseas.
