Capítulo 490: Chapter 488 Many Friends, Many Paths

Shen Hetai proactively inquired, but Cheng Yu didn't give him any face, not even lifting his head to respond with a disinterested no.

The color drained from Shen Hetai's face in a flash, but he quickly masked it with a smile and continued, "Mr. Cheng usually deals in big business and may not care for our small affair. But Mr. Cheng, you've been in Shanghai for so long, and you'll continue to develop your prospects here—you can never have too many friends."

"If this deal goes through, I know the money won't matter to you. Think of it as making a friend, having some more folks to shoot the breeze with when you've got nothing else on."

Shen Hetai obviously had a hidden agenda, suggesting that some people might reap huge benefits from this collaboration, while others might gain valuable connections.

After all, this project was essentially about covering for the higher-ups, and doing it well would make future endeavors that much smoother.
