Seeing the Du Family Patriarch agree, Ian Song immediately ordered someone to bring over the list of Tanner Clan properties. Pointing to a selection, he said, "These assets will belong to your Du Family from now on. Send your people to take them over as soon as possible!"
When the Du Family Patriarch saw which properties Ian pointed out, his mood brightened. These weren't the worst assets—more than ten were genuinely high-quality businesses.
Once they took them over, they'd be making money right away.
After a brief negotiation, the Du Family Patriarch promised to send the spirit crystals for the purchase soon.
Ian wasn't worried about being stiffed. As long as the payment arrived within three days, that was fine.
With business settled, the Du Family Patriarch brought up his real reason for visiting: "Young Master Chu, I have a personal request."
At those words, Shawn Du, the chief steward, straightened up in surprise.
"Go ahead," Ian nodded.
"Yesterday, my chief steward Shawn Du's son offended you. Today, I've brought Shawn here to apologize."
As soon as the Du Family Patriarch finished speaking, Shawn Du stepped forward and bowed to Ian. "Young Master Chu, this old servant failed to teach my son and let him offend you. I sincerely beg your forgiveness!"
