He had to admit, Li Fuzhen's words were an immense temptation for Wang Chenning.

If he helped Li Yanxian take control of Shanxing Group, or eventually reach the Cyan Flower Platform like Ms. Pu, then Li Yanxian's son or daughter would surely be incredibly distinguished.

By leveraging Li Yanxian's prestige, it wasn't impossible to groom their son or daughter to be a successor.

'If my own passionate efforts fail to achieve my dream of restoring the glory of the Four Commanderies of Han and the Tang Dynasty's Andong Protectorate, Ungjin Commandery, and Gyerim Area Command, then I really could use this indirect strategy to bring the peninsula under my control,' Wang Chenning mused.

"I'm only just now realizing how good you've been to me," Wang Chenning finally replied. "I'll do whatever you think is best!"

"You've helped me transform my life, letting me feel happiness and youth once more. Of course I have to repay you. If it required a sacrifice from me, I would do it for you."

Wang Chenning's attentions this morning had moved Li Fuzhen deeply. In a moment of impulse, she felt she was truly willing to do anything for him.

She even considered whether she should bear a son or a daughter for him.

'But he definitely wouldn't want me to do that.'

'Then I'll have my niece do it!'

There was one thing Li Fuzhen was clear about: if she wanted to regain control of Shanxing Group, she definitely had to join forces with Li Yanxian.

The two of them joining forces to defeat the father-son duo of Li Zairong and Li Zhihan was the only way to gain control of Shanxing Group.

The road ahead was long and winding; they could only take it one step at a time.

'But the future should be bright!'

Sometime after eight o'clock, Zhao Xiao'an and Li Yanxian finally got out of bed.

After getting up, the two of them took a long time to wash up and get ready. By the time they arrived at the dining room for breakfast, it was already around nine.

Although the four of them all had ulterior motives, as they sat together for breakfast, they all acted as if nothing was amiss, mostly chatting about their plans for the day.

In the end, the four of them reached a consensus: they would sort out the matter of the house by West Lake this morning.

During breakfast, Wang Jiangxing called Wang Chenning to ask about the house.

Wang Chenning wanting to spend several hundred million on a house by West Lake could, on some level, be considered an investment.

Wang Jiangxing was also very interested in such a large-scale transaction.

After learning that Wang Chenning had his heart set on the house, Wang Jiangxing immediately instructed his secretary to handle the matter for him.

Wang Jiangxing's secretary had the relevant personnel notify the homeowner to come over, and he personally accompanied Wang Chenning, Li Fuzhen, Zhao Xiao'an, and Li Yanxian to see the house.

When he learned that it was Wang Jiangxing's secretary personally accompanying the buyers, the originally quite arrogant homeowner immediately changed his tune.

The homeowner, who had been unwilling to lower the price, voluntarily dropped it by thirty million after Wang Jiangxing's secretary explained the situation.

After Zhao Xiao'an, Li Yanxian, and Li Fuzhen haggled some more, the homeowner dropped the price by another fifty million.

The homeowner recognized Li Fuzhen, Li Yanxian, and Zhao Xiao'an, and he also knew who Wang Chenning was.

The homeowner wasn't a fool. With so many famous people wanting to buy his house, and with Wang Jiangxing's secretary personally present, he was more than willing to trade a discount of tens of millions for the social capital. Any one of these individuals could help him earn back that amount, or even more, with a single favor in the future.

Wang Chenning pushed for one last discount, and the house, originally listed for five hundred million, was finally his for four hundred and ten million.

Upon learning that Wang Chenning was paying for the house in full, both Wang Jiangxing's secretary and the homeowner were taken aback.

'Who would have thought Wang Chenning was so wealthy, with so much liquid capital?'

Someone willing to spend over four hundred million in cash on a house would definitely have no less than a billion in liquid funds in their account, and their total assets would be several times that.

Wang Jiangxing's secretary felt ashamed for underestimating Wang Chenning the previous night.

No wonder the young Wang Chenning had made such an exorbitant demand, casually mentioning a ten-billion-US-dollar investment.

'I've been a frog in a well, looking down on him from my own narrow view!'

Naturally, Wang Chenning didn't need to worry about the property transfer; Wang Jiangxing's secretary would arrange everything.

The matter could be settled by that morning; all Wang Chenning, Zhao Xiao'an, and Li Fuzhen had to do was sign their names.

For the entire morning, the four of them didn't go sightseeing, instead focusing on handling the house matters.

Around 11:30 AM, everything was settled. Wang Chenning's four-hundred-ten million was transferred to the seller's account, and he, Li Fuzhen, and Zhao Xiao'an received the bright red property ownership certificate.

When Wang Jiangxing found out that Wang Chenning hadn't taken out a bank loan and had paid for the house directly with his existing funds, he too was greatly surprised.

But he also worried that Wang Chenning wouldn't have enough capital left to invest in the subsequent production and construction for the pharmaceutical project.

While personally hosting Wang Chenning's group for lunch, he tactfully expressed this concern.

"It shouldn't be a problem!" Wang Chenning said with a smile. "If there is a funding gap, I'll have to ask for Mr. Wang's assistance!"

"We'll discuss the details then!" What Wang Jiangxing liked most was Wang Chenning's confidence. From his tone, Wang Jiangxing understood one thing: the assets under Wang Chenning's name were truly substantial. If the investment was only a few billion, he probably really wouldn't need a bank loan.

This deeply impressed Wang Jiangxing. It was truly rare for such a young person to possess so much wealth without any of the mentality of the nouveau riche.

During lunch, Wang Chenning told Wang Jiangxing that he had already asked his assistant to prepare the investment plan, and it would likely be ready in the next day or two.

He would stay in Qiantang for three to four days, then go to Gusu, then Guangling, then Jinling, and finally return to Yandu.

The investment plan should be finalized before he left Qiantang.

Li Fuzhen also told Wang Jiangxing that she and Wang Chenning would finish the investment plan together over the next two days, after which they would discuss the details with him and other relevant personnel.

This made Wang Jiangxing overjoyed.

Wang Chenning and Li Fuzhen were indeed pragmatic people who did things decisively and without hesitation.

Wang Jiangxing could also see that Li Fuzhen practically followed Wang Chenning's every instruction.

He had no intention of prying into their personal affairs; he was only clear on one point: if he could win over Wang Chenning, he could probably win over Li Fuzhen and Li Yanxian as well.

To express his welcome and gratitude to the group of Wang Chenning, Zhao Xiao'an, Li Fuzhen, and Li Yanxian, he specifically instructed the relevant departments to arrange for their activities and excursions in Qiantang.

The relevant departments provided them with a luxury van, as well as a driver and a tour guide.

Wang Jiangxing also told Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao'an that they could call him or other relevant officials directly if they needed anything.

Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao'an both knew this wasn't special treatment. The relevant departments would grant corresponding courtesies to anyone willing to invest in Zhijiang.

The courtesies they received weren't exceptional. Wang Jiangxing was a smart man and didn't give them too many special privileges, which made their interactions more comfortable for everyone.

'Dealing and cooperating with smart people is so much easier!'

Wang Chenning eagerly looked forward to putting down roots in Jiangnan, perhaps even turning the region into his own strategic rear base...
