With the helmsman of the Wu Family from Nandu, Wu Dazun, Shen Peishen's assistant, Cheng Liu, was holding a secret discussion in the study.
One of Shen Peishen's closest confidantes, a true trusted aide.
Cheng Liu was commissioned to negotiate a "collaboration" with Wu Dazun, or rather with the Wu Family, a deal not to be disclosed publicly.
It was nearly concluded by now.
Wu Dazun, a shrewd businessman indeed, had a knack for negotiation, even though it wasn't a regular business cooperation.
He skillfully laid plans and probed step by step, raising the terms of the cooperation to a level that he was highly satisfied with yet just bearable to the other party, squeezing them painfully.
This old slick, indeed a tough opponent to handle.
This made Cheng Liu inwardly sigh.
Had it not been for Mr. Shen Peishen's personal instructions before his departure, he would genuinely find it hard to make substantial progress in a single negotiation.
