Chapter 202: More Crazy Than You Chasing Me
Montaigne was shocked by their reaction and instantly fell into self-doubt.
"That...that's Xishelan Island...?"
Jiang Siyue ignored his dry humor and asked solemnly, "Did he reveal any information about Beixue Lan Island?"
"What did you talk about when you met?"
"Tell the important point!"
"...You...you...you are still the same little beauty as before, not a single bit has changed..."
The fantasy of "brotherly love" in Boss Leopard's heart was ultimately shattered.
When it comes to official business, his dear sister remains impartial towards everyone.
Jiang Siyue declined to comment.
Montaigne sighed helplessly, but finally became serious.
"There's no information about Beixue Lan Island... He probably just realized it was close and mentioned it casually."
"So I agreed to meet him that evening at the Harpa Concert Hall..."
Two years ago, in Rinzhou's foggy harbor.
In the cafe on the top floor of the concert hall, Monte and the young man sat opposite each other. Without much greeting, the latter quickly handed over a project plan.
"Mr. Montaigne, I know your time is valuable, so I'll just be frank with you."
The 23-year-old Herren has short, messy hair and a silver-gray casual suit that makes him look younger than his actual age, but his aura is no less than that of underground bosses like Monte.
"You want to use Nanling Mountain to expand your business and achieve transformation, clean up the money from the black boxing ring, and leave a way out for yourself."
"But those people in Congress are not fools. Even if they themselves have stepped into the gray area, they will never allow you to 'launder money' under their noses."
He spoke steadily, but to the point.
"But I promise that as long as you and I work together, all the problems you are worried about will be solved."
Meng Tai flipped through the plan slowly and calmly asked, "But you and I are not from the same world, why do you want me to be your ally?"
Heron smiled and said, "Because I always believe that people with different goals but the same path can also make good partners."
"Nanling Mountain is too big. If we want to take it alone, the price is too high and the procedures are difficult."
"Even if we put all that aside, I'm afraid it will still attract attention in the end."
"I believe this is not the result that Mr. wants."
Montaigne's hand, which was turning the page, paused, without making any comment.
"Your plan says you want to build a biomedical observatory on the northern slopes," he said, raising his head slowly. "Are you sure your superiors will approve such a sensitive project?"
He Lun leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "Don't I have the final say on what to report?"
"..." Montaigne snapped the plan book shut and smiled knowingly, "Mr. Herron is quite honest with his 'allies'."
He Lun spread his hands and said, "Of course. Since I proposed the cooperation, it is of course important to express my attitude."
"--In short, the southern slopes are open and rarely visited. No matter what you do in the future, it can become a perfect 'protective umbrella' for your black and gray industries;"
"And I will only stay in the northern foothills and focus on developing my blueprint."
"We don't interfere with each other, but we rely on each other."
"You create a natural barrier for me on the southern slopes; my observatory can also shield you from unnecessary official scrutiny."
"What do you think of this 100% win-win situation, sir?"
"..."
The last ray of afterglow in the distance faded away, and the world gradually became blurred in the deep blue.
Mengtai retracted his gaze, picked up his coffee and took a sip, then said calmly, "The plan is very attractive."
"But how can you guarantee that we can truly achieve 'non-interference'?"
He Lun immediately understood and made a "please speak" gesture.
Mengtai leaned back on the sofa, interlaced his fingers between his legs and said, "I can agree to set up a joint venture to bid."
"But internally, our rights and responsibilities must be clearly defined."
He Lun said generously, "Of course no problem. How do you want to divide it?"
Meng Tai said bluntly: "I only want the ownership and operation rights of Nanlu."
"North Foothills is yours. I won't take a cent of its profits, nor will I ask a single question."
"Even if you want to build a private airport there in the future, that's your business and has nothing to do with me."
"Also, if your 'Observatory' fails in the future, or if there's any unpleasantness between us, I'll sell the shares back to you at triple the price."
"All of the above is clearly written in black and white. Can you accept it?"
Herron did not answer immediately.
The young man tapped the table with his fingertips, as if carefully weighing things.
Outside the transparent brick wall, the sky light changes from dark blue to inky blue, and the gradually lit city lights are as bright as stars in the sky.
The cafe was filled with melodious piano music, the aroma of burnt food, and the occasional clinking of cutlery, making a crisp "jingling" sound.
Just as the last note fell, He Lun raised his eyes and extended his right hand to the other party.
Seeing this, Meng Tai politely extended his hand back to shake hands.
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Monte."
"Pleasant to work with."
……
Silence spread throughout the box.
After a moment, Jiang Siyue suddenly asked, "You said you were in charge of the north and south respectively, and didn't interfere with each other... Then what about 'Extreme Shadow'?"
"Their boss is clearly a Herron fan, and a passionate one at that."
"According to the contract, he hasn't crossed the line, has he?"
While Meng Tai was still formulating his words, Zhou Shiyan, who was restless beside him, had already grasped the key information. He approached Jiang Siyue and whispered, "Are you really a fanatic?"
"How fanatical?"
Jiang Siyue tilted her head and saw the "gossip light" flashing in his eyes. She couldn't help but come up with a plan. She immediately covered her lips with her backhand and said quickly: "More passionate than you chasing me."
"?!" This remark instantly aroused Mr. Jiang's strange desire to win. "A Yue thinks I'm not as good as him?"
Jiang Siyue said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? When did I say that?"
Master Zhou, confused, said fiercely, "You can't even 'think' about it!"
Jiang Siyue was completely at her wit's end: "No normal person would think that way!"
After getting the correct answer, the stingy young master was finally satisfied. The corners of his mouth just curled up but then he forced them down again and let out a happy "O".
Jiang Siyue resisted the urge to elbow him and forced herself to look away.
Meng Tai witnessed the whole thing and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
Seeing Jiang Siyue turned her head, she immediately pretended to know nothing and replied nonchalantly: "Oh, that doesn't count."
"After all, Nanlu is a 'playground' for the wealthy, so it's normal for He Lun to visit as a guest."
"After all this, it makes sense that we can reach cooperation with those ambitious bosses."
"..." Jiang Siyue's face was filled with the word "outrageous" and she concluded in an incredible way, "So you were just a 'landlord' who laundered money from beginning to end?"
Meng Tai didn't understand why she reacted so strongly. He nodded blankly and said honestly, "Yes."
Zhou Shiyan: "..."
Jiang Siyue: "..."
"...No, what are you two doing with those expressions?"
