The Fake Husband of the Beautiful CEO

Inside the private room, all the food and drinks had been served.

Wang Kun broke the silence first, looking at Chen Dong with a smile.

"Young Master Lin, I've already arranged to meet her."

"From now on, it's up to you how you discuss things. I won't eavesdrop on any trade secrets."

He poured a glass of wine for the two of them, then drank it all in one gulp before getting up and leaving the private room.

After all, this is a collaboration between the Lin Group and Chengnan Construction Company, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like him to get involved.

Neither Chen Dong nor Wu Tian stopped him from leaving.

There are some things that are not good to let people from other companies know.

After Wang Kun left, only Chen Dong and Wu Tian remained in the private room.

Chen Dong chuckled and poured the other person a glass of wine.

"Manager Wu, since it's just the two of us now, I'll get straight to the point."

"If there is anything wrong, I hope Manager Wu will forgive me."

Before coming, Chen Dong had already made plans in his mind.

Currently, the development zone lacks complete supporting facilities and schools.

So, he used this as a topic to actively bring up Wu Tian's topic.

Whether or not to cooperate is another matter entirely.

Even if we really want to cooperate, Lin Tiannan's consent is required.

After all, the Lin Group currently has no plans to enter the construction industry.

The two chatted about the supporting facilities for nearly an hour.

Even at the very end, Wu Tian was completely fooled by Chen Dong and had a big smile on his face.

According to Chen Dong, if this project can be implemented, it will bring the company at least tens of millions of yuan in profit.

From now on, his influence in the company will be significantly greater.

"I'd heard before that Young Master Lin was a spendthrift who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. But after meeting him today, he seems quite different from the rumors."

In high society circles, many people know that the young master of the Lin Group is a good-for-nothing.

He used to only know how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, but after meeting Gu Li, he began a crazy pursuit.

Initially, Wu Tian had no intention of coming at all.

But unable to resist Wang Kun's request, he decided to come and meet him.

After all, the other party is the young master of the Lin family. If a cooperation can be reached, it would be quite good.

But after seeing him today, he realized that all the rumors circulating outside were false.

This young master of the Lin family has exceptional eloquence.

"Manager Wu is joking. I was just being immature back then."

"Now that my dad is getting old, if I keep loafing around and not doing anything productive, he probably won't give it to me even if he sells the company."

Chen Dong chuckled, then changed the subject.

"By the way, Manager Wu, I heard that the area in the development zone hasn't been completely demolished yet?"

"Has something happened?"

"I looked at the map before, and that location was pretty good; it could be used to build a primary school."

The area he mentioned was actually Chen Dong's home!

The demolition is actually complete, but construction has not yet started.

That place is now just ruins.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's expression changed slightly.

He actually knew the location Chen Tian mentioned, but the reason construction hadn't started was because someone had died there before.

The children of the deceased couple sued them.

Construction is not allowed to begin until the court has fully resolved the issue.

"It's nothing, it's just that some paperwork hasn't been completed yet."

Wu Tian smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Chen Dong could rest assured.

But his smile seemed forced, as if he was afraid that Chen Dong would notice something was wrong.

But how could Chen Dong miss the subtle changes on his face? He was already fairly certain that the other party was lying.

He then jokingly said, "Manager Wu, could it be... that someone was killed during a demolition project before?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's expression immediately changed.

There are many conflicts that occur during demolitions, but... once someone dies, things get much more serious.

Once a thorough investigation is launched, no one in their entire company, from top to bottom, will escape punishment.

Even the companies that cooperate with the company will be affected.

His face darkened, and his gaze toward Chen Dong turned cold.

"Young Master Lin, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything!"

"If something like that really happened, do you think the higher-ups wouldn't investigate us?"

Faced with Wu Tian's sophistry, Chen Dong simply chuckled.

"Manager Wu, I was just joking, why are you getting so worked up?"

"Could it be that someone really died?"

"Or... are you hiding it?"

This time, Wu Tian really couldn't sit still any longer.

He hadn't expected that this young master of the Lin family would have such strong reasoning abilities.

It was just a joke, yet they guessed so much.

If they find something to hold against you, it's tantamount to handing your life over to them.

"Young Master Lin! What do you mean by that?"

"It seems to me that your Lin Group has no intention of cooperating."

"Let's end our collaboration here."

After saying that, he got up to leave.

But before he could take two steps, Chen Dong pressed him back into place.

"Manager Wu, don't rush off."

"Let's have a chat. It's not a bad thing anyway. What company doesn't have some shady dealings?"

"Think about it, if we really reach a cooperation agreement, that's no small business."

"We can't afford any mishaps, right?"

He looked at Wu Tian with a smile, as if he were talking about something trivial.

When Wu Tian heard what he said, he felt that it made some sense.

It's not just their company; every big company in Nancheng has some shady dealings.

It's just that everyone knows it but no one has said it out loud.

If this were brought to the surface, every single one of the bosses of these companies, and the people behind them, would be shot.

"It seems that Young Master Lin is even more capable than I imagined."

Wu Tian sat back down, looking at Chen Dong with wary eyes.

At this moment, the person sitting in front of him no longer seemed to be the spoiled rich second-generation heir of the past, but a seasoned veteran who had been navigating the business world for decades.

"Not at all, these skills are all thanks to my dad's good teaching."

Chen Dong chuckled and claimed that Lin Tiannan had taught him all those rhetoric techniques.

"Is Manager Wu willing to talk now?"

He looked at Wu Tian with a calm expression, but his heart was already in turmoil.

When Wu Tian heard Chen Dong say this, he knew that keeping it a secret would not be good for the cooperation between the two parties.

So he could only sigh and say quietly, "Since Young Master Lin wants to know, then I have nothing to hide."

"Something did happen at the place you mentioned before. An accident occurred during the demolition process, resulting in the death of a middle-aged couple."

"I remember the man's surname was Chen, and the woman's surname was Zhang. They had a son in college named... Chen Dong!"

"It was his son who sued our company because of his parents' deaths, which has caused the matter to be under investigation ever since."

"However, it shouldn't take long for the paperwork to be completed."

"We can still start work then, and it won't affect our cooperation."
