Chapter 175 Cautious Old Fox

After Su Tiannan and his group of six entered the country, they were immediately picked up by two old jeeps.

Around two o'clock in the morning, the cars drove towards a military defense zone on the south side of Dragon City.

Inside the car.

Su Tiannan's chin was covered with a thick, continuous beard, concealing the scars left behind in prison. He also wore glasses, and his hair was much longer. In addition, he had undergone cosmetic surgery on his face, making his features look more three-dimensional. His entire temperament and appearance were completely different from before.

A person's change in temperament cannot be solely due to external changes. Since coming out of prison, Big Brother's personality has undergone a significant change. He has become more aggressive, and especially the look in his eyes that he inadvertently reveals is vastly different from his previous amiability and kindness.

In the back seat, Su Tiannan crossed his hands and softly asked the assistant in the passenger seat, "We are just responsible for communication, right?"

"Yes, we don't have to worry about anything else." The assistant's name was Liu Tao. He was specially assigned by the Hua Gong Association to assist Su Tiannan in his work. He was around thirty years old, with a calm and experienced personality and not much to say.

"Tell me about him," Su Tiannan replied.

Liu Tao turned around and introduced with a serious expression, "His name is Xin Chaojie, fifty-two years old, and he is the commander of the Third Division of the Dragon City Garrison Corps. Xin Chaojie has a wife in name, but he also keeps a mistress in secret, with two sons and two daughters, the younger two being illegitimate children without identity."

"What's his relationship with the Tan family?"

"Xin Chaojie has always been a direct line general of the Tan family, but he is very smooth. He doesn't openly compete or grab, but every time there is an opportunity for promotion, he has never missed out." Liu Tao continued to introduce, "He also has a relatively good reputation among cadres at the division commander level. He has some skills in leading troops, having participated in the Independence War and received commendations at the regional level."

"Oh," Su Tiannan nodded slowly, "Is his division also a direct line unit?"

"Fully staffed with ten thousand men, and the weapons and equipment are at the level of a top-tier unit," Liu Tao replied. "We have contacted him many times, and the people who were responsible for the connection before have also laid the groundwork."

Su Tiannan was a little curious, "Can we win him over?"

"It's not easy to win him over. He's willing to contact us, but that doesn't represent his personal position, nor will he promise anything." Liu Tao said in a low voice, "Moreover, we haven't revealed our identities to him. We only said that we are a Chinese-funded enterprise in the Third District, and the investors are also from the old Chinese legions, so he doesn't resist meeting with us. He's playing dumb, you know what we mean?"

"He might want to get some resources at a critical moment, but he doesn't want to give any promises, is that what you mean?" Su Tiannan asked.

"Yes, these are all old foxes!" Liu Tao said with a smile, "It's very tiring to fight wits with them. We've given him a lot of benefits before."

"So, my coming this time is also laying the groundwork?"

"Yes, the reason is the investment in the Third District. Don't break off the relationship, just keep in touch." Liu Tao replied softly, "You can make some promises to him appropriately and see if he responds!"

"Okay, I understand," Su Tiannan responded.

...

The night passed without incident. The next day at noon, Su Tiannan, accompanied only by Liu Tao, walked into the villa hall of the Third Division Commander's mansion.

A middle-aged man in his fifties, tall and fat, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the sofa and greeted, "Hehe, Little Zhang is here."

Liu Tao led the way, came to the sofa area, and said politely, "Commander Xin, long time no see!"

"Hehe, Little Wang didn't come with you?" Xin Chaojie nodded slightly, "Sit down!"

"Little Wang has been transferred by the group." Liu Tao immediately pulled Su Tiannan and said, "Commander, let me introduce you. This is the new minister of our group's business department, Zhang Xiaotao!"

"Well, hello, Minister Zhang!" Xin Chaojie sat on the sofa without moving, only softly greeting, "Sit down, everyone!"

The two took their seats, and Su Tiannan immediately said politely, "I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity. This time I came to Dragon City, the boss of our Hongfang Group specifically instructed me to maintain a good relationship with Commander Xin. This is the top priority of the group! If I can't do it, then I'll be packing my bags and leaving!"

"Hehe!" Xin Chaojie waved his hand and smiled, "I should thank your group. You've taken good care of my ignorant son in the Third District. Since you're here, take a good look around. Although this is a military defense zone, there are many surrounding towns, and the scenery is also very special."

"This place is so beautiful, it's like a scene in a painting!"

"……!"

The two sides had just met, and they were talking about some useless things. It wasn't until Su Tiannan had laid the groundwork for more than twenty minutes that he euphemistically gave the other party a hint, "Commander Xin, your son's investment in the Third District is going smoothly. We also plan to do East Asian trade for a long time. If you agree, we can increase investment, and we can pay for the funds first!"

"Haha!" Xin Chaojie loved to laugh. He rested his right hand on his thigh and replied faintly, "My youngest son is disobedient since he was a child, and he's very opinionated. I asked him to learn business from you, mainly with the attitude of learning and accumulating experience. Just set up a small business for him to broaden his horizons. We can't make it too big; he can't control it."

"Yes, I understand what you mean, but this opportunity is not bad." Su Tiannan replied with a chuckle, "Several young masters from the Chinese legions in New York in the First District are currently working with us! The profit distribution last month was more than ten million. The East Asian foreign trade business is indeed very profitable."

When Xin Chaojie heard this, a flash of surprise passed through his eyes, "Hehe, we'll talk about it later. You guys stay here and relax first. I have a meeting this afternoon!"

"Okay, you go ahead with your work. I'm waiting for your meeting at any time, hehe!" Su Tiannan immediately stood up.

"See Minister Zhang and his friend out!" Xin Chaojie called out to the guard.

A few minutes later, Su Tiannan and Liu Tao left the villa together.

Outside, Su Tiannan sat in the car and said with a curled lip, "This person is quite smooth!"

"If he wasn't smooth, we wouldn't dare to contact him!" Liu Tao replied softly, "But I think he seemed a little interested in getting involved just now!"

"Who doesn't love money? Being a division commander might not last a lifetime, but the money in your pocket is your own," Su Tiannan replied.

"Hehe, you're right," Liu Tao nodded.

...

Inside the villa.

Xin Chaojie sat on the sofa and made a phone call to his son, "How much was the profit distribution last month?"

"More than three million," the other party replied.

"Okay, I understand." Xin Chaojie frowned and instructed, "Don't have too much contact with them. For commercial matters, let your subordinates handle the negotiations."

"I understand, Dad!"

"That's it!" Xin Chaojie hung up the phone.

Outside, a staff officer walked in and stood beside Xin Chaojie, saying, "The order has been issued. It says that the goods will enter from our side around 11:20 p.m. three days from now!"
