Shangguan Xiao and Duanmu Hongjie talked for about an hour.
For half of that time, they engaged in idle chatter, discussing various past events.
In the end, when it came to the matter of Lou Yujun's redemption and the future attitude of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Hongjie set the tone in just a few sentences:
"First, the Duanmu family will no longer target the industries of the Zhang family."
"Second, the Duanmu family is willing to pay three million to redeem Lou Yujun!"
The Zhang family was not lacking three million; in the eyes of others, even if they obtained the three million, it would only make them a bigger target.
Therefore, Shangguan Xiao did not agree to let the Duanmu family redeem Lou Yujun, but instead, she wanted to discuss possibilities of cooperation with Duanmu Hongjie.
