An hour earlier—
"We're old friends now; you can trust me."
Zhang Huasheng had won over Pei Zhiyao's business partner.
As it happened, the partner was an old friend of Zhang Huasheng's.
Zhang Huasheng was generous, claiming it was just a Rolex watch.
The condition was merely for the other party to help arrange a meeting with Pei Zhiyao.
They would meet and discuss a minor collaboration.
If things went smoothly, he could also have a chance to make some money.
Even if things went south, he would still get the Rolex.
Why not do it?
The friend agreed without hesitation, readily doing Zhang Huasheng this favor.
But just before hanging up the phone, the friend asked, "Do you have a partnership with President Pei as well? Why not contact him directly?"
Zhang Huasheng's eyes darted, and he knew that his partner was unaware of his enmity towards Pei Zhiyao.
Otherwise, such a question would not have been asked.
Zhang Huasheng did not tell the whole truth.
