Chapter 897 - Ke Zhengfeng’s Intentions (2)

After all, how could Shi Yuting, who was worth hundreds of millions of dollars, be satisfied with a mere ten million?

However, other than money, he had nothing else to bribe with. At this most critical juncture, he naturally would not allow anything that was not beneficial to him to threaten his campaign.

“This may not be a big deal to Shi, but I present this to you with sincerity. Please accept it.”

“Forget about the check. Such a small amount of money is really not worthy of my attention.” Shi Yuting curled his lips into a smile and stood up abruptly. “Thank you for the land in A City, Minister Ke.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the direction of the door of the private room with Xiangyi following closely behind.

Ke Zhengfeng watched as Shi Yuting left before looking back at the check. The initial smile of flattery immediately stiffened as he adjusted his tie while his facial expression returned to its naturally arrogance.

“This Shi Yuting really thinks that he’s the king of this place!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room suddenly opened. Ke Zhengfeng was so frightened that he turned around and stared at Xiangyi, who had reappeared at the doorway.

“Mr. Shi said that if Minister Ke can really help, it would be best to settle the matter by the end of the year. This way, your chances of being elected as the National People’s Congress representative next year will be even higher.”

Ke Zhengfeng did not expect Xiangyi to suddenly come back and thus did not know if he had heard the last sentence right.

For a moment, Ke Zhengfeng was still at a loss. He smiled unnaturally and said, “It will definitely be settled by the end of the year.”

Xiangyi smiled before leaving the private room.

“As you expected, that Minister Ke is indeed just putting on a show,” said Xiangyi to Shi Yuting as they exited the private room and entered the elevator.

The corners of Shi Yuting’s handsome lips curled up into an imperceptible smile.

In the private room, Ke Zhengfeng rubbed his nose. This Shi Yuting was really not to be underestimated. His power might be even greater than he had imagined.

“Minister, this subordinate doesn’t understand. You are the Finance Minister, and he is just a foreign investor from C Country who came to our Z Country. Why do you have to compromise with him like this?”

Ke Zhengfeng raised his head and glanced at his assistant. “What do you know? He’s a businessman now, but he was once the president of C Country, and he stepped down on his own! Who do you think he is to be able to become the president?”

Of course, he was a ruthless character!

However, there were all kinds of strange things in this world. There was actually someone who was willing to give up the presidency? One had to know that this position was far beyond the reach of many people. Shi Yuting actually gave it up to willingly be a businessman. He really could not understand what Shi Yuting was thinking.

The door of the private room opened again. Under the dim light, the man who just entered and lowered his head. He only lifted his head when the door of the private room closed again.

Ke Zhengfeng signaled to the man. “Sit down.”

“He agreed?”

The man’s deep voice had a hint of coldness in it. It was mysterious, but one could not ignore it.

“You can say that. You won’t go back on your word about what you promised me, right?”

“Of course not. As long as you do as I say, next year’s National People’s Congress representative – the next president of Z Country – will be you!”

Hearing the man’s words, a smug smile appeared on Ke Zhengfeng’s face.

…

After leaving Charm Club, Xiangyi was a little confused. “Why does Mr. Shi have to bother about that Minister Ke? He doesn’t seem to have such a simple goal.”

“I’m a businessman. If he’s willing to help us take that piece of land in A City without any conditions, why not?”
