This was clearly an attempt to cut off Liu He’s follow-up.
In the past, upon hearing such words,
Even if he didn't explode, he would have at least cursed them out.
No matter how incompetent Liu He was, he would never allow someone to do this.
But the current Liu He had something to ask of them.
At this moment, he was like a three-year-old child who had done something wrong. Only after Lin Mei finished speaking did he finally speak.
“Miss Lin, you’ve misunderstood. Between us, there’s no longer the kind of relationship you imagine. We are now business partners, in a cooperative relationship. Having one more friend means one more path.”
This statement, when used in the business world, was indeed not bad.
But when it came to Lin Mei, it depended on who the person was.
This Liu He, from the inside out, possessed not a shred of goodwill. How could such a person be called a partner?
Lin Mei continued to press.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Liu He, we do need allies in Southeast City. But I’ll say this, Miss Lin doesn’t accept just any cat or dog. We are not a shelter.”
These words almost made Liu He’s lungs explode.
But with his goal firmly set, would he give up because of a few harsh words?
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
Liu He held the phone and continued calmly, “I think Miss Lin has mistaken me. Perhaps I, Liu He, am not just any cat or dog this time.”
“Then what do you mean?” Before Lin Mei could hang up the phone, she couldn’t help but ask casually.
It was precisely Liu He’s answer to this question that made her immediately abandon the idea of hanging up.
Liu He’s calm voice gradually began to carry a hint of firmness.
“This time, I’ve come with news about Zhou Ge Group. I believe Mr. Lü would be interested.”
This statement indeed hit the nail on the head.
Currently, Lü Feng was handling this matter.
At this time, if Liu He could also lend a helping hand, it would naturally be best.
Lin Mei immediately became interested.
However, how could she be sure this person wasn't bluffing?
As a result, she did not express her emotions at this moment.
Instead, her voice remained steady, “I’m sorry, Mr. Liu He, you might not know, but we are not interested in this.”
While this was a rejection on the surface, it was actually waiting for Liu He to reveal more attractive information.
Liu He’s lips curved slightly upward.
He had long anticipated that Lin Mei would ask this.
At this moment, his mind was already racing.
The words he had prepared in his heart flowed out like a surging torrent, ceaselessly.
“Miss Lin, I know you’re not interested. But how can you guarantee that Mr. Lü isn’t? Besides, I’ve discovered a secret here. This Tang Sheng Tang intends to act against you!”
Lin Mei was truly startled by this.
She suppressed her shock and said, “Oh? Act against us!”
Lin Mei was not shocked by the news itself.
Rather, she was shocked that Liu He actually knew this.
It seemed that Liu He had not come to amuse her this time.
Before this, it appeared he had done quite a bit of homework.
Since this person had indeed prepared many clues,
And these clues were likely to play a positive role in Lü Feng's investigation into Tang Sheng Tang,
Then, what reason did she have to refuse?
First, bring this person over to hear what clues he had.
Ultimately, whether to use this person’s clues would be decided by Lü Feng.
Thinking this, Lin Mei’s originally displeased tone gradually changed.
As if brushed by a spring breeze, it softened considerably in an instant.
“It seems I, Lin Mei, have misunderstood you, Liu He, this time!”
“It’s great to hear Miss Lin say that!”
Hearing this, Liu He couldn’t help but secretly exhale a breath.
From Lin Mei’s brief words, he could tell that Lin Mei had indeed changed her perception of him.
Although he hadn’t been in contact with Lü Feng for long,
Liu He was an intelligent person.
Lin Mei held a considerable position by Lü Feng’s side. As long as he could persuade Lin Mei, he wouldn’t have to worry about not meeting Lü Feng.
And once he met Lü Feng, how to persuade him would depend on his performance then.
To be honest, Lü Feng was not an easy person to deal with.
However, this time was different from the previous times. Currently, Liu He and Lü Feng were standing on the same side.
Relying on his eloquent tongue, and presenting the current situation,
Further bolstered by the series of clues he knew about Tang Sheng Tang,
Liu He was confident that he could completely persuade Lü Feng.
Thinking this, before Lin Mei could speak further, Liu He got straight to the point, stating his ultimate objective.
“Miss Lin, if it’s convenient, I’d like to arrange a meeting with Mr. Lü Feng through you.”
“That shouldn’t be a problem.”
Since Lin Mei had now made up her mind to obtain useful information from this person,
It would be inappropriate not to let this person meet Lü Feng, nor would she be able to get the full picture.
However, she couldn’t make decisions for Lü Feng herself at the moment.
Lin Mei still had to ask Lü Feng’s opinion.
But the current Liu He was already impatient.
Liu He couldn’t wait for the probing. At this moment, his words were urgent and decisive.
“Miss Lin, if possible, I’d like it to be tomorrow, at the latest tomorrow evening. How about we all meet properly?”
Having said this, perhaps feeling he was being too abrupt, Liu He couldn’t help but smile and then continued, “After all, it’s not the first time we’ve met, and we are considered friends this time, aren’t we?”
Liu He’s words carried considerable sincerity. Upon hearing them, Lin Mei was momentarily speechless.
After a slight pause, Lin Mei chuckled a few times and then said to Liu He.
“Then how about this, I’ll arrange a meeting with Lü Feng as quickly as possible. As for how far we can discuss things then, that will depend on you.”
Liu He wasn’t worried about any of this. Before Lin Mei could finish her sentence, he interrupted, “Don’t worry, I have this matter under control.”
After speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation, while Lin Mei at that moment dialed Lü Feng’s phone number.
“What? Is something wrong?” Seeing that the call was from Lin Mei, Lü Feng asked curiously.
They had just met not long ago, so why was she suddenly calling? Could something have happened? While thinking this, Lü Feng asked.
Lin Mei no longer concealed anything and said word for word.
“It’s Liu He.”
Hearing this familiar name, Lü Feng continued to ask, “What about him?”
Lin Mei explained Liu He’s intentions completely.
“What do you think? Should we meet this person?”
Lü Feng had no interest in this person at all.
But since this person was insistent on meeting him, and claimed to have a lot of clues about Tang Sheng Tang, Lü Feng wouldn’t refuse such enthusiasm.
Lü Feng nodded and said, “Agree to him for now.”
After all, having one more friend means one more path.
