377: Chapter 377 Weighing the Options

Lin Heng's voice was very calm.

Wang Lin didn't know what was going on, but after hearing those words, he inexplicably sat down.

It wasn't until his rear touched the cold stone table that he realized he had already sat down.

Before that, he hadn't noticed at all!

It was as if his mind had gone completely blank for an instant!

Hiss...!

This guy...

So powerful?

Wang Lin was startled.

As someone who fought his way up from humble beginnings, Wang Lin naturally knew he needed to regain control of the conversation at this moment!

Otherwise, he would just be suppressed by Lin Heng the entire time!

So, he quickly pursed his lips and his expression turned serious.

"Mr. Lin, the reason I came this time is actually for..."

"Hold on..."

However, just as he began to speak, Lin Heng quickly interrupted him.

Lin Heng merely gestured lightly towards the teacup in front of Wang Lin and said calmly:

"Drink your tea first. We can discuss other matters later."

Hearing this, Wang Lin pursed his lips and looked at the teacup filled with tea in front of him.

Who had the mind to drink tea at a time like this!

"Mr. Lin, the reason I came..."

"Drink your tea first!"

Lin Heng slightly raised his volume this time.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone except Lin Heng looked quite displeased.

Lin Xiaoxiao naturally intended to get straight to the point, Wang Lin also wanted to strike first to seize the initiative, and furthermore, Wang Gang was eager to resolve this matter quickly to alleviate the Wang family's urgent crisis.

But...

All their intentions were turned into smoke by Lin Heng's single sentence.

They all vanished.

There was no need to mention Wang Gang.

He naturally had no say, and at this moment, he couldn't speak at all, so he could only grit his teeth with an ugly expression.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know why Lin Heng was making things difficult for Wang Lin, she knew her older brother wouldn't act without reason.

So, she temporarily paid it no mind.

As long as their business deal didn't run into trouble in the end, that was all that mattered.

She wouldn't concern herself with anything else.

Wang Lin still wanted to try and push forward, but after hearing Lin Heng's words, he understood that if he didn't drink this cup of tea, there was no way the discussion could continue.

As a businessman, he completely understood the logic behind this.

It was like two parties negotiating a deal; inevitably, one side had to show some deference to the other, which was equivalent to giving the other party a warning or a show of strength.

Of course, this was still closely related to how the subsequent proceedings would unfold between them.

Not drinking this cup of tea meant showing disrespect to the other party, but it also put them in a passive position.

It symbolized that one side had been controlled right from the start, and the opportunity to take the initiative would only belong to the person who spoke next.

This young man is a master!

Wang Lin was deeply shocked internally.

To possess such composure and cunning at such a young age, he must not be an ordinary person.

The subsequent conversation would require extreme caution and prudence.

If the negotiation went well, there was nothing more to say.

But if it went badly...

Heh, the result would naturally be obvious.

Wang Lin quickly found himself in a dilemma.

Staring at the tea before him, he fell into silence for a moment.

However, this confused Wang Gang watching from the side.

Dad, why isn't he drinking?

I'm about to die of anxiety!

Wang Gang felt a wave of impatience internally.

He truly didn't know what this stubborn old fool was thinking!

At this moment, he even wanted to rush forward and drink the tea on his father's behalf.

But he didn't know that a game of strategy had already begun here.

The person who lost the first move would have absolutely no right to enter the field, and it would be very normal for them to be controlled by the other party afterward.

Wang Lin licked his dry lips. He glanced at the tea before him, a hesitation rising in his heart.

Soon...

Wang Lin abruptly stood up with a whoosh.

His gaze was fixed intently on Lin Heng.

"Mr. Lin, I came here to discuss business. You and I are both businessmen; we should both know that time is a very important thing to us."

"Let's get straight to the point!"

Heh?

Lin Heng merely glanced dismissively at Wang Lin.

In the eyes of others, these people already belonged to the wealthiest echelon in the Dragon Country and had long been mythologized, but for Lin Heng, it was not so.

No matter how formidable Wang Lin was, in Lin Heng's eyes, he was merely someone who needed his help.

Because of this, Lin Heng just chuckled without saying a word.

His gaze remained fixed on the teacup in front of Wang Lin.

Steaming hot.

Lin Heng had no intention of speaking.

This made Wang Lin even more anxious.

But he also understood that if he continued pushing, he would lose the initiative. He was currently waiting for Lin Heng to speak so he could react appropriately, thereby seizing the initiative.

After a long while.

Lin Heng finally said slowly, "My meaning is very clear. Drink the tea..."

"I prefer to offer my guests a cup of tea before we discuss business."

As soon as he said this, Wang Lin's expression became awkward.

He gritted his teeth.

"Mr. Lin, you should know the scale of our Wanheng Real Estate. We are merely lacking the necessary capital; we are not at the point of utter destitution."

"If we cooperate, we will control the entire real estate industry of the Dragon Country!"

"Countless resources are tied up in this. Aren't you tempted?"

He had no choice but to bring out a piece of the 'cake' he had prepared earlier.

It depended on whether Lin Heng would take the bait.

However...

Lin Heng just chuckled upon hearing this.

Wang Lin certainly thought highly of himself.

He didn't consider why Wang Lin ended up seeking him out in the first place?

Wasn't it because the people he previously begged didn't respond to him?

If such a good opportunity truly existed, would it ever reach Lin Heng?

Would the other party have to beg him to come find him?

It would have likely been devoured by the top players long ago!

Did he really think Lin Heng was easy to fool?

In response, Lin Heng just smiled.

He quickly crossed his legs, leaned back, settling into the lounge chair, and placed his feet on the stone table.

An arrogant posture.

Wang Gang's expression changed, vaguely sensing that something bad was about to happen.

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

She was well aware of Lin Heng's temperament.

Generally, Lin Heng would never be so arrogant and overbearing; he was always very low-key.

It was likely he intended to make things difficult for Wang Lin at this moment.

Simultaneously, just as Wang Lin's expression was starting to look grim, Lin Heng let out a cold laugh.

"Mr. Wang, please clarify one thing: you are the one asking me for help, not the other way around..."

"If you feel this is inappropriate right now, you can turn around and leave. I absolutely will not keep you here!"

"But you must understand, the moment you step out of this door, the fate between us... will end there."
