Su Tianyu shamelessly grabbed Gui Mengjun's arm and grinned, "Right, right, right, I have no money, I have no shame."

"…Fine, don't pull that on me."

"Sigh, I really don't want to use the association's connections or Lao Li's connections to get this money." Su Tianyu said patiently, "It's not good for them to know."

"Sigh."

Gui Mengjun sighed, "How much?"

"I borrowed a thousand, still short a thousand." Su Tianyu replied.

Gui Mengjun pondered for a long time, "Alright, to promote your friendly relations over there, I'll cover the rest for you."

"Brother-in-law is generous!" Su Tianyu gave a thumbs up. "I knew it, our family was missing a rich relative, and here you are."

"We're all family, no need to stand on ceremony." Having decided to lend the money, Gui Mengjun's attitude improved significantly, and he began to play the favor game. "Although it's not easy for your brother-in-law, my wife's younger brother has opened his mouth, so I have to get it done…!"

"That's for sure, brother-in-law! You can give me orders anytime in the future, as far as family relations go, I'll arrange everything clearly for you." Su Tianyu pulled Gui Mengjun. "However, if this factory is taken over, I'll need you to help me find people for the later renovation, after all, I'm not familiar with this area of the Old Triangle…!"

"…Alright, I'll have your third sister go. You two can communicate about the renovation costs!"

"Brother-in-law, you're really cunning!"

"That's too polite, we're about the same."

The two chatted sarcastically and walked into the villa together.

…

Evening.

After sitting in the villa for a while, Gui Mengjun took his "fiancée," as well as the two idiots of the Su family, Er Sha and Liu Sha, to find Jiangzhou.

Inside a very private clubhouse in Hanoi, Gui Mengjun sat near the door, chatting with Miao Miao, Er Sha, and Jiangzhou's assistant, while Su Tianyu sat with Jiangzhou, talking in low voices.

"How have you been considering that matter?" Jiangzhou asked with a smile while eating fruit.

"It's like this, I inquired about it, and your steel factory's total investment should be at least forty to fifty million." Su Tianyu scratched his head and replied very politely, "You said you'd sell it to me for twenty million, which makes me a little uneasy."

Jiangzhou glanced at him, "Aren't we friends? A little more or a little less doesn't matter."

"That's what you say, but you still have to have a sense of propriety." Su Tianyu looked at him and replied, "I have an idea, want to hear it?"

"Sure!" Jiangzhou nodded.

Su Tianyu organized his thoughts, "I'll personally lend you twenty million in cash to help you tide over the emergency. We won't talk about taking over the factory. If you can't pay me back in a year, you can transfer the ownership of the factory to my third sister. But no matter what business the factory does in the future, you'll still have a 20% stake in the profits. How about that?"

Jiangzhou looked at Su Tianyu in surprise, "Hehe, you're really racking your brains."

"I can't help it, it's true that I'm Lao Li's disciple, but I can't overstep my bounds and make decisions for my leader." Su Tianyu replied pointedly, "The general direction is still decided by the leader, and we underlings just follow the decisions. But my personal attitude is that I really want to make friends with you! After all, I also want your old man to become my old man."

"Hahaha!"

Jiangzhou laughed, eating an orange as he replied, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll treat the money as a loan from you. If I can't pay it back in a year, I'll give you the ownership of the factory, and then take 20% of the profits."

"Alright." Su Tianyu nodded.

"However, brother Tianyu, my factory has been shut down for a long time. If you have any business ideas, we can start working on them now." Jiangzhou said very seriously, "You can directly find new projects, let the management personnel move in, and if it can be profitable, then we can all loosen our pockets!"

Su Tianyu thought for a moment, "Alright, then I'll go back and study the projects to see whether to do tobacco and alcohol, or something else."

"Yes, that's fine." Jiangzhou raised his glass and said proactively, "Come on, let's have a drink for further cooperation."

"Alright!"

The two clinked glasses and drank it down.

At tonight's banquet, Jiangzhou didn't ask about Su Tianyu's political ideals or political ambitions, and didn't even talk to him about work. They just sat together and chatted casually.

However, Su Tianyu and Jiangzhou both knew very well that this engagement event, and the follow-up factory transfer event, had invisibly strengthened their relationship.

Su Tianyu used the method of borrowing money to push back the pace of the factory transfer, both showing that he would not affect Lao Li's political decisions, and also giving the other party enough face. Jiangzhou was also very satisfied with his reaction, and the idea of further winning over this young man rose in his heart.

Smart people are liked everywhere! Su Tianyu is so sensible, not considered greedy, and does things in an orderly manner, which means that the possibility of him being abandoned by Lao Li is very small.

…

In the private room.

While everyone was communicating their feelings, Jiangzhou's secretary went out to answer a phone call, and then returned with a strange expression.

"Boss, there's a bit of an emergency…!" The secretary whispered in Jiangzhou's ear, "Your sister is also here, eating with the commander and the others. She asked me where you are!"

Hearing this, the smile on Jiangzhou's face froze, "Why is she here?"

"…The joint military exercise is about to start, and our news department will definitely come to be stationed for filming and promotion." The assistant asked in a low voice, "How do you want me to reply to her?"

Jiangzhou immediately stood up, "What reply? Just run away!"

"Ah?" The assistant was stunned, "She…she already called me, it's not good to run away, is it? You're making it difficult for me, boss!"

Jiangzhou reached out and patted Su Tianyu on the shoulder, "Brother, I have an emergency to leave! Let's just leave it at that, you can transfer the money to me later."

"Oh, okay!" Su Tianyu was a little surprised.

Jiangzhou looked at Gou Liuzi, the expression on his cynical face was solemn, he said concisely and domineeringly, "It's the luck of the times, and also the misfortune that we become friends in this way!! The feeling of shared ancestry is also not politics. Wherever there are Chinese people, there will definitely be a red flag rising! No government can stop it, and the EU Four Regions can't stop it either!!"

These words were too grand, and Su Tianyu couldn't accept them, he just smiled awkwardly and nodded slowly.

"Keep in touch, maybe one day I'll go to The Dragon City Rises to find you to hang out!" Jiangzhou patted Su Tianyu's shoulder forcefully, "I'm leaving!"

"Chief Jiang, take care!" Gui Mengjun got up to see him off.

Tonight's private gathering ended, and the trip to the Old Triangle by Gou Liuzi and others also basically came to an end.

An Ze Cheng in The Dragon City Rises was still tending flowers and plants, ignoring military and political affairs, and Kang Dinghuang in the old Mexico area was also plotting Zhao Wei Hu's Chi army…

Su Tianyu was about to return, but who knows when the next 风起龙城 (The Dragon City Rises) will happen?
