Zhang Fan stood beside the old man, his eyes revealing his longing for the future and a hint of imperceptible worry.

The successful recovery of Phoenix City has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the expansion of the family and even the entire country's territory, but every subsequent step needs to be carefully planned to ensure long-term stability.

He knew very well that the decision at this moment not only concerned how to distribute the fruits of victory in the present, but also affected the long-term strategic planning and the fate of the family and even the country.

"Grandpa, the matter of Phoenix City has been settled. The next territorial planning and future development route are issues that we must consider carefully." Zhang Fan's words revealed a calmness and determination, and his eyes were full of respect and expectation when he looked at the old man.

The old man has met countless people in his life and is very experienced. His insights are often to the point and get to the heart of the matter.

Hearing this, the old man smiled kindly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.

He patted Zhang Fan's shoulder gently and said earnestly: "Fan'er, you have grown up and know how to consider the future of the family. But remember, a person's wisdom is limited, and only by pooling the wisdom of all can great things be accomplished. Although Xiao Cao has been in Hong Kong, her vision and knowledge are beyond the reach of ordinary people. The people and things she has come into contact with, and the ups and downs she has experienced, are all precious treasures. You can try to listen to her opinions, which may bring you different inspirations."

The old man's words may sound like simple advice, but if you savor them carefully, you will find that they contain profound philosophy.

He did not give a direct answer, but cleverly guided Zhang Fan to seek a wider range of opinions, especially from Cao Jianjia.

Zhang Fan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the next second his mind suddenly became clear.

I may have been too obsessed with my own ideas and judgments, and ignored the wisdom and contributions of other team members.

Although Cao Jianjia is in Hong Kong, she has a unique perspective and has a deep insight into the international situation, business trends and even cultural customs.

Her opinions will undoubtedly provide new perspectives and ideas for the future planning of Phoenix.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan's eyes flashed with an even more determined light.

I was outside last night and collected a little interest, but didn't do anything to her.

Now it seems that we have to charge a little bit of benefit.

The old man mentioned her specifically, so there must be a reason.

Zhang Fan nodded slightly and walked lightly into the inner room. The early morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of warmth and anticipation to this quiet morning.

He knew that it was still early and the two important people in the family were still asleep. This tranquility gave him more space to think and prepare.

As we moved forward, the air seemed to be filled with a sense of tension that a secret was about to be revealed.

When you gently push open the door of Cao Jianjia's room, what comes into view is a warm and slightly lazy picture.

Cao Jianjia was curled up in the soft quilt, her long eyelashes lightly covering her eyelids, like two small fans, adding a touch of softness to her face.

Perhaps she sensed the movement outside the door, she slowly opened her eyes, with a bit of confusion and surprise in her eyes when she first woke up, especially when she saw Zhang Fan standing at the door, the surprise instantly turned into a trace of panic.

"You... why are you here so early?" Cao Jianjia's voice was a little hoarse from not waking up yet, but she asked politely.

She noticed that there was an unusual seriousness and eagerness in Zhang Fan's eyes, which made her realize that the purpose of his trip was not simple.

Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you so early. But there are some things I need to talk to you about."

Seeing this, although Cao Jianjia felt a little confused and puzzled, she quickly adjusted her state.

She gently lifted the quilt, trying not to appear too hasty, then she followed Zhang Fan lightly in her loose pajamas and walked towards the bathroom.

On the way to the bathroom, neither of them spoke, but there was a subtle atmosphere in the air.

Cao Jianjia could feel Zhang Fan's seriousness and earnestness, which made her wonder if it might be an important matter concerning the future of Phoenix City, or some other major decision.

Stepping into the bathroom, the soft lighting contrasted sharply with the cool tiles, and the air was filled with a faint scent of lavender, trying to add a touch of tranquility to this sudden tense atmosphere.

However, for Cao Jianjia, this tranquility was easily torn apart by Zhang Fan's arrival like a thin gauze.

She stood in front of the mirror, the collar of her pajamas slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone and fine skin, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, adding a bit of casual charm.

But at this moment, she had no time to care about her charming outfit, because there was an evil look in Zhang Fan's eyes that she had never seen before.

As Zhang Fan's footsteps got closer, Cao Jianjia's heartbeat accelerated. She felt an inexplicable pressure coming towards her, almost suffocating her.

She bit her lower lip nervously, trying to calm her panic in this way, but it had little effect.

In the mirror, her eyes were wide open and her face was filled with panic, which was very different from her usual calm and wise image.

"You...what do you want to do?" Cao Jianjia's voice trembled slightly. She tried to stay calm, but she could not hide the uneasiness in her words.

However, just when she was about to give up resistance and prepare to accept the worst outcome, Zhang Fan suddenly stopped and raised a playful smile. "Don't be afraid, I just want to talk to you alone. Some things may be more appropriate to say here." His voice returned to its usual gentleness, but the light in his eyes was still unpredictable.

Cao Jianjia was stunned. Only then did she realize that she might have misunderstood Zhang Fan's intentions.

She let out a long sigh, trying to calm her pounding heart, then slowly turned around and faced Zhang Fan, with both confusion and relief in her eyes.

"Okay, tell me, what's the matter?" Although there was still caution in her tone, she no longer had the panic she had before.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the bathroom became subtle again.

Zhang Fan walked slowly closer, his eyes falling gently on Cao Jianjia, as if everything that had just happened was just her illusion.

But when this man came over, Cao Jianjia realized that the atmosphere seemed wrong?

The man's eyes didn't look like he was talking about anything, but rather like he wanted to eat me.

Why did they call me here so early? Is there anything that can’t be discussed in the room?

I looked up at the man and saw that he was slowly walking towards me.
