In the following days, Zhang Shaoyang used various tricks to visit Boss Hu every day.

They would bring a few gifts from time to time, showing great attentiveness!

With such flattery, Boss Hu gradually changed his attitude towards Zhang Chaoyang.

In his view, Zhang Shaoyang was a humble person. If it were an ordinary rich kid, he would probably have turned his back on him long ago after being repeatedly rejected.

Only someone as humble as Zhang Shaoyang could endure until the very end!

Boss Hu was unaware of the feud between Ye Chen and Zhang Shaoyang, and only assumed that the two had a conflict over business.

After changing their attitude towards Zhang Shaoyang, their views on the whole matter also underwent a subtle change.

Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between Ye Chen and Zhang Shaoyang. If I can mediate and help them reconcile, I might be grateful to them afterwards.

A week later, Boss Hu met Zhang Shaoyang again and finally accepted his invitation.

"Young Master Zhang's sincerity is truly impressive. Even when Liu Bei sought out Zhuge Liang, he only visited him three times. Young Master Zhang's sincerity in getting to know me this time far surpasses that of Liu Bei!"

"If I don't know my place, I'm afraid people will complain. Young Master Zhang, I'm just a rough man, but I'm honored by your high regard. Tonight, I'll go out with you and see the world!"

Seeing that Boss Hu had finally relented, Zhang Shaoyang was secretly delighted and immediately made arrangements.

That evening, the two got together for dinner and drinks, having a great time. In order to get closer to each other, Zhang Shaoyang even gave him an antique.

"This item is a family heirloom from my Zhang family. My grandfather gave it to me specifically, and he told me that I should only give it as a gift to a true friend."

"I hit it off with Boss Hu today, I only regret not meeting him sooner. Here, I'll give you this antique as a keepsake!"

With meals, gifts, and such attentiveness, who could withstand such a test?

Even though Boss Hu has traveled all over the country, at this moment, he finally let down his guard.

He was even more determined in his heart that since Brother Zhang had treated him so well, he should do something for him in return!

In an effort to bring Zhang Shaoyang and Ye Chen together, Boss Hu frowned slightly and took the initiative to ask.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, what exactly happened between you and Boss Ye that led to this?"

"Last time, I represented him at the auction, and when Boss Ye mentioned you, he looked like he was gritting his teeth."

"I think you're a good person, brother. If you're willing to trust me, why don't you tell me the specifics? If possible, I'd be willing to step in and mediate between the two of you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shaoyang sensed an opportunity and quickly embellished the story, explaining the situation in detail.

"Boss Hu, you're absolutely right about one thing: there really was a misunderstanding between me and Boss Ye. But I never imagined his misunderstanding of me would run so deep!"

"You should have heard that the Luo family had some trouble recently. Luo Ling is Boss Ye's daughter-in-law, and Boss Ye has a very close relationship with the Luo family."

"Luo Guanzhong is stingy and wary of everyone. You've heard about this as you've traveled all over the country. Our Zhang family used to work with Luo Guanzhong. When we saw that he was about to go bankrupt, we provided him with a lot of financial assistance."

"In the end, Luo Guanzhong was incredibly audacious, daring to engage in smuggling and even turning around and accusing my Zhang family of framing him."

"Brother Ye also heard this claim. He thinks that my Zhang family framed Luo Guanzhong, but in fact, my Zhang family is more innocent than anyone else. How much money did my Zhang family invest in the Luo family? In the end, it all went down the drain. To be honest, I am more wronged than anyone else!"

At the end, Zhang Shaoyang put on a wronged expression.

Upon seeing this, Boss Hu immediately believed Zhang Shaoyang's statement.

He had long heard of Luo Guanzhong's reputation, and given Luo Guanzhong's temperament, it was understandable that he would do such a thing.

For a moment, Boss Hu was filled with pride and patted his chest to guarantee it.

"Since Brother Zhang has put it that way, I'll arrange for you to meet with Boss Ye another day. Then the three of us can face each other, and I'll act as a peacemaker to smooth things over. Wouldn't that solve everything?"

Zhang Shaoyang sneered inwardly. He hadn't come here to see Ye Chen. If he really managed to get Ye Chen to come out, wouldn't his little scheme be exposed?

To prevent this from happening, Zhang Shaoyang quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

"Brother, I understand your good intentions, but you absolutely mustn't do this!"

"No matter what, your collaboration with Boss Ye is at a crucial moment. If I cause you two to have a falling out again, I, as your younger brother, will feel guilty!"

Zhang Shaoyang's words, spoken with an expression of concern for him, deeply moved Boss Hu.

Young Master Zhang comes from a distinguished family and is still considering our needs. If he weren't a good person, how could he do such a thing?

"I……"

"Alright, Brother Hu, you don't need to say anything more. Let's do this: you help Boss Ye with his work first, and we'll keep in touch privately. We can have a drink together from time to time, and that will satisfy me."

Zhang Shaoyang suggested, "As for Boss Ye, try to arrange a meeting with him after you finish this project. That way, even if there's a conflict, it won't delay your cooperation."

"Isn't the point of making friends to help each other improve? If my actions affect Boss Hu's profits, how can I, as his younger brother, be expected to act like that?"

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to Brother Zhang then. If you want to drink in the future, just come to me. Cheers!"

Finally, after a few drinks, Boss Hu and Zhang Shaoyang became much closer.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Zhang Shaoyang finally saw Boss Hu off.

As the other person's figure disappeared from sight, Zhang Shaoyang's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"You idiot surnamed Hu, do you really think I want to be your friend? You bunch of country bumpkins aren't even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

"Hmph, today I've finally put Hu's guard down. I'll go to his construction site again another day, and he won't be watching me all the time."

"Give me a chance to steal a blueprint, and it'll be easy, won't it?"

In the following days, Zhang Shaoyang continued as before, taking advantage of Ye Chen's absence to go and fool around with Boss Hu every day.

Boss Hu was quite responsible; he would usually wait until the workers finished get off work before going out for leisure.

When they had nothing to do, they would let Zhang Shaoyang stay in the office, and Zhang Shaoyang would take the opportunity to copy all kinds of construction drawings.

Once the project was completed, Zhang Shaoyang immediately went to his father and handed over the blueprints. Only then did a sinister smile appear on the old man's face.

"You stay here for the night. I'll go find someone to revise this drawing, and I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
