The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

Chapter 1928 Chang Zishan's Response

There was a moment of silence on the phone before Chang Zishan slowly spoke.

"Let's meet at Nanhe Coffee Shop on Huaxi Street in the east of the city in an hour. I have some things to take care of."

The other party is the chairman of Shengtian Group, so there must be some business cooperation to discuss.

In any case, it would be inappropriate to refuse outright; one should at least give them face and agree to meet.

"Okay, see you in an hour then."

Liu Hao replied and hung up the phone, then looked up at the driver in front of him.

"Go to Nanhe Coffee Shop on Huaxi Street in the east of the city."

............

An hour later.

Inside Nanhe Coffee Shop,

"Mr. Liu, have you been waiting long?"

Chang Zishan looked at Liu Hao sitting in the coffee shop and slowly began to speak.

"I just arrived too."

Liu Hao said with a smile.

He had indeed just arrived at the coffee shop not long ago, but he had been lying in the car for more than half an hour.

"That's good."

Chang Zishan nodded. No matter how long the other person waited, she was not late. She was only saying these things because the other person had arrived first and she was being polite.

As he spoke, he called the waiter over.

"Mr. Liu, would you like something to drink?"

"It seems Mr. Chang is very familiar with this coffee shop. Mr. Chang, please order one for me."

Liu Hao slowly began to speak, saying that he didn't drink much coffee, so he didn't have any particular favorites.

Chang Zishan nodded upon hearing this, then ordered two new coffees from the shop and sat down opposite Liu Hao.

"Mr. Liu, is there any business to discuss?"

Chang Zishan didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.

There's a lot going on at the new energy factory right now, so she doesn't have time to talk about other things.

"I'd like to ask Mr. Chang, do you think the online comments targeting Tomorrow Group will have any impact on the company?"

Instead of answering directly, Liu Hao asked a question.

"There will definitely be an impact. Tomorrow Group's overall revenue has declined, but it won't affect its foundation."

"But I think President Liu specifically asked me out today not just to ask this question, right?"

"Just say what's on your mind."

Chang Zishan spoke directly, saying she didn't like beating around the bush.

As they were speaking,

The waiter brought over two cups of coffee and placed them in front of the two people.

Liu Hao picked up his coffee and took a small sip. After the waiter walked away, he slowly spoke.

"Since President Chang has said so, then I will be frank. The online public opinion campaign targeting Tomorrow Group was orchestrated by my people."

Chang Zishan frowned slightly upon hearing Liu Hao's words, but quickly understood something.

"So President Liu wants to discuss matters concerning Tomorrow Group with me, because Tomorrow Group is the one that brought down Ruishang Group. He believes that I joined Tomorrow Group for ulterior motives, so he wants to join forces with me."

"President Chang is indeed a smart man; he understands immediately."

Liu Hao couldn't help but praise.

"President Liu, it's not hard to guess."

Chang Zishan smiled faintly. The other party directly admitted that he was the one who made those remarks targeting Tomorrow Group, so the reason he invited her out couldn't have been to discuss cooperation.

It's illogical to target one side while cooperating with the other.

Since it's not cooperation, then it's targeted, and they've already taken targeted actions.

The only possible reason to find her is because Ruishang Group was brought down by Tomorrow Group.

The other party believed that she had ulterior motives for joining Tomorrow Group and wanted to join forces with her.

This kind of thing can be figured out with just a little thought.

"Hahaha, now that President Chang has already guessed it, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Liu Hao spoke slowly.

"Mr. Liu, is that all you think, that's why I'll cooperate with you?"

"What if I refuse to cooperate and then tell Mr. Chen of Tomorrow Group about what you've done to Tomorrow Group?"

Chang Zishan did not give an answer, but instead asked a question in return.

"First, I'm not sure if President Chang will definitely cooperate with me, but I think the chances are high. After all, it's a fact that Ruishang Group was brought down by Tomorrow Group."

"Secondly, as for President Chang refusing to cooperate and then telling your President Chen about my situation, it has no impact on me. After all, I am targeting Tomorrow Group, and it will surface sooner or later."

Liu Hao slowly began to speak. He knew he wouldn't be able to hide his identity in the subsequent business battles, so he didn't care whether Chang Zishan would tell President Chen of Tomorrow Group about this.

Chang Zishan nodded upon hearing this. It was indeed the case. Regardless of whether she told President Chen about it or not, as long as Shengtian Group continued to target Mingri Group, it would be exposed sooner or later.

Chang Zishan thought for a moment, then spoke directly.

"Then I won't take up any more of your time, Mr. Liu. I'd like to decline the cooperation."

Liu Hao was taken aback by Chang Zishan's words. He hadn't expected Chang Zishan to reject him so decisively, which was slightly different from what he had anticipated.

"President Chang, your own group's businesses were ruined by Tomorrow Group, can you really let go of this hatred?"

"Or is it that President Chang doesn't believe in the strength of Shengtian Group?"

Liu Hao thought for a moment, then asked, still unsure of Chang Zishan's thoughts.

He doesn't believe that such hatred can be let go so easily.

More likely, they felt that Shengtian Group's strength was no longer sufficient to target Tomorrow Group.

"President Liu, there's no need to overthink it. I won't target Tomorrow Group."

"You're talking about hatred, but I wouldn't call it hatred. There were some initial reservations, but after working together for a while, they're gone now."

Chang Zishan slowly began to speak, saying that when she first joined Tomorrow Group, she did feel somewhat uncomfortable because Tomorrow Group had ruined Ruishang Group.

However, reason told her that this was how business warfare was, and that Ruishang Group was already rotten to the core; even without Tomorrow Group, it would have gone under sooner or later.

The existence of Tomorrow Group only hastened the demise of Ruishang Group.

Moreover, after working at Tomorrow Group for a period of time, I felt Mr. Chen's trust and the working atmosphere of Tomorrow Group, and the little bit of resentment in my heart disappeared.

She found it hard to believe that President Chen would entrust such an important project as new energy to someone who had once been an adversary. Few people could possibly have such trust.

"But Tomorrow Group ruined Ruishang Group."

Liu Hao still had some faith in him.

"President Liu, since you're targeting Tomorrow Group, you should know how Ruishang Group went under."

"The demise of Ruishang Group was not due to targeting by other forces, but rather its own self-destruction."

Chang Zishan looked at Liu Hao and slowly spoke, then, not wanting to continue the conversation, she got up and left.

"Mr. Liu, I don't think we have anything to talk about, so I'll take my leave now."
