Chapter 517: Equally Matched
Seeing that the situation was at an impasse, with a helpless look, Gu Fan said, "Enough, stop this staring game. We aren’t savages who resolve issues with violence; can’t we discuss this civilly?"
"So what’s your proposition?" Qian Feng knew the current situation wasn’t conducive to starting a fight, so she had to pin her hopes on Gu Fan to propose a mutually acceptable solution.
Gu Fan proceeded, "Although I have no idea about the secret of the old house, and whether my parents would agree, I can promise one thing — all three parties will share the profits."
But the boss dismissed this, "You don’t even know the secret of the old house, so how can you share the profits? Do you realise there are certain things that can’t be shared?"
"Can’t share then? Great, let’s struggle until the end." Gu Fan’s words made everyone’s heart sink. They knew this deadlock wasn’t a solution.
Gu Fan shook his head: "Are we fighting or not? Negotiating or not? So, what exactly are your intentions? Speak up."
The boss gave a cold snort: "Fine, Gu Fan. For your sake, I’ll stop here today. I’ll give you time and opportunity to uncover the secret of your old family house. Give us a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, if you offend any party, expect no peace in your future."
"I got it, I’ll do my best." Gu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. With the boss taking a step back, naturally, Qian Feng wouldn’t cause more trouble.
As he was leaving, the boss further stated, "I have the support of two families now, and I will strive for a third. When the time comes, I wish for the lion’s share."
