Hu Fei's words were very polite, which made Tian Xujian laugh in his heart. The two Hu father and son really seemed to have put in an effort, offering him a car as a gesture of their sincerity.
However, at this time, he couldn't accept the car. There had just been preliminary cooperation. There was still a lack of trust between them. If he were to accept the car at this point, it could be seen as availing himself too easily to their goodwill, which wouldn't be conducive to future collaborations.
Tian Xujian then smiled and said, "There's no need for the car. Riding a bike to work is a form of exercise. Old Hu, your Phoenix bicycle is a good thing. A second-hand bike in such good condition is hard to find."
Tian Xujian's words contained an implicit sarcasm, but Hu Jiawang didn't take it to heart. He knew well that Tian Xujian was subtly reminding him that it might look showy for him to be on a bicycle while his son was driving an Audi, and even more so when offering a car.
