Quan Yan only mentioned it as a nicety. In reality, Quan Jingzhou had never mentioned anything good about Zhuang Fu.
Besides, Zhuang Fu was also quite strange. Usually, during such small talk, one wouldn’t probe the details. Why did he deliberately ask about it?
Quan Yan was stumped and didn’t know how to respond for a moment. He could only keep looking at his father for help.
“Haha, of course we talked about the many interesting things that happened in university. Zhuang Fu, let’s sit down and have a good chat.” Quan Jingzhou quickly changed the topic and strode towards a nearby sofa.
Zhuang Fu didn’t pursue it. He smiled and followed him to the sofa.
“I don’t like to dwell on the past. Jingzhou, let’s talk about the present. On the way here, I heard from someone that you’re not the chairman of the Quan Corporation anymore? What’s going on?” Zhuang Fu’s eyes were filled with concern for him.
Quan Jingzhou licked his lips and sighed. “I’m ashamed to say this. My third son wants to snatch the family assets. In order to protect the Quan Corporation’s reputation, I have no choice but to temporarily take a back seat.”
“Your third son? I heard that you and Madam Ling only have two sons?” Zhuang Fu asked.
“Quan Jue is an illegitimate son who was born after a woman plotted against my father and tried to come back to fight for the family assets. Uncle Zhuang, my father treats Quan Jue very well. He originally wanted him to be the successor. However, Quan Jue is too ambitious and disappointed my father. He doesn’t trust my father and has always been going against him, wanting to snatch the family assets.” Quan Yan burned with anger as he talked about Quan Jue.
“Is that so? I didn’t expect the Third Young Master to be such a person,” Zhuang Fu said indifferently. “Jingzhou, I see that you’re not in a good situation now. Is there anything I can help you with? Feel free to ask. We’re old classmates, after all. As long as I can help you, I’ll definitely do my best.”
Quan Jingzhou was waiting for him to say this. He looked at him with extreme disdain.
In Quan Jingzhou’s opinion, Zhuang Fu was no different from a fool.
Quan Jingzhou had made things difficult for Zhuang Fu when they were in university, but the latter was still willing to help him. Wasn’t it only because of his status as the head of the Quan family?
It looked like, although Zhuang Fu had been an elder in the Xuan Sect for so many years, he still couldn’t compare to Quan Jingzhou, the head of the Quan family, in terms of wealth and power.
“There’s no need for your help. It’s just that I think we might be able to work together. I happen to have a very good project on my hands, and I want to work with someone. It’s just that I don’t trust most people, so I came to look for you…” Quan Jingzhou tried his best to explain to Zhuang Fu about the bridge project. He promoted the project enthusiastically and made it sound like he didn’t want him to miss out on this good business opportunity.
Zhuang Fu listened seriously and looked interested. His smile deepened. “Jingzhou, this project is indeed quite good. Actually, our Xuan Sect has been planning to cooperate with other groups recently. If we can use this project to spread our reputation, it will be a good thing.”
Quan Jingzhou’s eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, “So, you agree?”
