“Alright, I know you have something on. I’ll go back to my place first. Otherwise, if my daughter comes back, she won’t be able to find me.”

The two of them came to the coast to bid farewell. Nami had already prepared the car to go back. On the other side, Jiang Yueming had also asked Gao Qiang to pick him up.

“Hey, but…”

Xu Wenping wanted to say something but hesitated. He was still afraid that Su Yurou would be angry because of Yu Youling. The latter only smiled sweetly and said, “I don’t even have a status. What’s the point of staying at your house every day? Don’t worry… After I see my daughter, can’t I move in?”

After confirming that Su Yurou was not angry, Xu Wenping scratched his head and said, “It doesn’t matter where I live. I’m just afraid that you’ll be angry with me.”

“Go get busy.”

After watching Su Yurou leave, Xu Wenping got into Gao Qiang’s car and asked softly, “How’s Yueming?”

Gao Qiang had already started the car. When he heard this, he frowned slightly and smiled bitterly. “Chairman, the President has already gone over. The situation seems to be… not very optimistic.”

“Not too optimistic?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenping, who was a hands-off shopkeeper, was really stunned for a moment. He said, “Tell, why aren’t you too optimistic?”

Gao Qiang sighed and said, “Our procedures are complete, but the director seems to be deliberately obstructing us. Mr. Jiang was still full of confidence the first time he went in. This is already the second time he’s gone.”

“The procedures are complete. Why can’t we pass?” Xu Wenping frowned.

Gao Qiang chuckled. “Compared to our Imperial Corporation’s experience and strength, there is no other company in the entire Jin Hai City that is more worthy of this piece of land. They also don’t have the ability to develop it. But this division chief had a relative… He seems to be a nephew or something. Like us, he’s interested in this piece of land.”

“I guess what he means is that Jin Hai Land Bureau will publicly auction this piece of land to his nephew and then let our Imperial Corporation take over. With this kind of expenditure, the value of the land has at least doubled. If that director is a little more stubborn and wants some shares, it will be difficult for us to guarantee our project!”

Xu Wenping only thought for a moment before he understood what was going on.

Black, really black.

But there seemed to be no other way?

Since ancient times, businessmen had never fought with officials. Money was often worthless in the face of power.

The car stopped at the entrance of Jin Hai Land Bureau. Xu Wenping had just gotten out of the car when he saw Jiang Yueming walk out dejectedly.

Seeing Xu Wenping, Jiang Yueming lowered his head even more. He slowly opened his mouth and said with a bitter smile, “I’m sorry, Chairman… This time, I might have made you come for nothing.”

“It won’t work?”

Jiang Yueming lowered his head with a bitter smile. “This division chief is using a chicken feather as an arrow of command. He’s simply asking for too much. Asking for 50% of the profits as soon as he opened his mouth, we might as well not do this project!”

Xu Wenping stroked his chin and nodded. “Yes… I just heard Xiao Gao say that. Okay, don’t worry, I’ll settle this matter…!”

Jiang Yueming was slightly stunned. He looked up at Xu Wenping with a strange expression and said, “That… Chairman, you’d better not ruin the moon. If you have to personally run the project, what’s the point of me, the president?”

“Running events?”

Xu Wenping was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, “Of course not!”

Xu Wenping took out his phone and called a number. Just as he was about to make the call, he thought for a moment and said, “Forget it. This relationship is too important. Wait a few days first. I’ll give you a response then.”

Naturally, it was Li Zhengkang.

This City Lord… He couldn’t possibly use it with just a phone call, right? Li Zhengkang wouldn’t sit idly by for such a small matter, but it would be a waste to call him now.

Just as Xu Wenping was about to get into the car and return home, a four-lap Audi suddenly approached. The four zeroes and one license plate numbers surprised Xu Wenping and Jiang Yueming. The latter even subconsciously stood up straight.

Unexpectedly, the car was about to enter the Jin Hai Land Bureau, but it stopped beside Xu Wenping. The rear window rolled down, and his simple face and short crew cut still carried a dignified aura.

Li Zhengkang pinched his fingers and smiled. “Xiao Xu! What a coincidence!”

“Hello, Mr. Li!”

Xu Wenping quickly nodded and smiled. “It’s indeed a coincidence, Mr. Li… Yueming and I came to the Land Bureau to settle some matters. If you have something important, you should settle it first!”

“Haha… Did you get a cold shoulder?”

Li Zhengkang raised his eyebrows and looked at the Jin Hai Land Bureau.

Xu Wenping lowered his head and chuckled.

“Don’t be discouraged,” Li Zhengkang said. “The department’s mission is to be fair and open. As long as you go through the legal process, I believe that your hard work will be proportional to your luck.”

“Mr. Li is right.”

Xu Wenping nodded lightly. At this moment, Jiang Yueming could no longer hold his ground. Seeing that Li Zhengkang was actually talking to Xu Wenping in a very friendly manner, with a feeling of giving advice to a junior, he immediately took the opportunity to say, “City Lord LL.This time, it’s not that we’re being unfair and open! You’ve heard of the reputation of our Imperial Corporation, but they’re asking for too much. I…!”

“Shut up!” Xu Wenping turned his head and glared at Jiang Yueming. Although his realm was not bad, he still lost his composure in front of a strong man like Li Zhengkang.

Who knew that Li Zhengkang raised his hand and said, “Don’t. Let this little friend speak!”

Since Li Zhengkang had already asked, Xu Wenping naturally couldn’t stop him. Jiang Yueming told Li Zhengkang how he had been rejected.

“Yoho…!”

“Aiya… Looks like I’m still not mature enough!” Li Zhengkang touched his old face and said, “My father’s scolding is still right. In a high position, if you don’t keep your eyes open, it’s inevitable that such rat sh*t will mix in!”

Li Zhengkang smiled lightly and said, “It’s better to meet now than to choose a day. Xiao Xu, arrange for someone to hold a social gathering later. We’ll go in and take a walk. We can have a drink after work. But remember, you must be thrifty!”

“I’m not ordering you, but I have to be thrifty. Any dishes that cost more than 100 yuan and wine that cost more than 500 yuan are not allowed to be served. You know what?”

Xu Wenping’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that Li Zhengkang was trying to get familiar with him, so he hurriedly said, “Don’t worry! Uncle Li, although I haven’t spoken much to you, I can understand the Old Master’s noble character and integrity!”

“Let’s drink Erguotou today, okay?”

“You brat!” Li Zhengkang laughed, expressing his satisfaction.

Li Zhengkang pushed the door open and got out of the car. Then, he hinted to Jiang Yueming and Xu Wenping, “You guys go in first. I’ll take a look at my Jin Hai Land Bureau from behind.”

“Alright!” Jiang Yueming straightened his back. It was probably the first time in his life that his face was so red and excited.

Li Zhengkang waved his hand to signal, and the four cars backed off a little..
