I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Economic Development Zone.

Fan Wanli is working in his office.

suddenly.

The office door was pushed open from the outside without prior notice or permission.

"You go out first."

Fan Wanli looked up, and after seeing clearly who had barged in, he sent away his uneasy secretary.

"Young Master Zhou, what brings you here today?"

Fan Wanli was not angry at all. Instead, he stood up to greet him with a warm smile. For such a deeply rooted local entrepreneur to behave in this way, the identity of the person who came must be quite obvious.

Zhou Shaohua.

He may be unknown to the ordinary people of Shacheng, but he has made an indispensable contribution to Greenland's development to its current scale.

The several plots of land that made Greenland a fortune would have been lost to someone else without his strong support.

Why do you have such great abilities?

The woman who governs Shacheng, who also shares the surname Zhou, is someone he has to call "aunt," is that enough?
"Chairman Fan, we're in trouble."

Zhou Shao, the "shadow shareholder" behind Greenland Group, walked straight to the sofa and sat down, getting straight to the point and treating himself as if he were one of them.

Fan Wanli was a man of great stature. Over fifty years old, he had built such a large empire. How could he not have seen his share of storms? Even though he noticed the unusual gloom on the other man's face, he remained calm and unhurried, taking a seat three seats away from him.

"What happened?"

"The province has sent an inspection team down here."

Zhou Shao spoke in a low, blunt tone.

Fan Wanli's eyes flickered slightly, then quickly returned to calm.

"Isn't this normal? The whole country is carrying out special campaigns to combat corruption and eliminate organized crime. This is the current main theme."

"So, Young Master Zhou, please calm down. It's not the first time. Just wait a while, and it will pass."

"This time, it's different."

Zhou Shaohua's eyes were sharp, like a cheetah on alert, sensing unknown danger.

“My aunt didn’t receive any notification. She only found out when the inspection team entered Shacheng.”

Upon hearing this, Fan Wanli frowned slightly. As a successful businessman, one needs to learn far more than just business skills; a keen sense of political awareness is even more important!
As the top official, it is quite unusual that the provincial inspection team was sent down without any prior notice.
"The more turbulent the situation, the more important it is to stay calm. Young Master Zhou, many of the troubles you're facing don't actually exist; they're just things you've imagined."

Older gingers are more spicy.

In terms of composure, Fan Wanli, who was significantly older, was clearly superior to his opponent.

Zhou Shao, who could turn stones into gold in Shacheng, fell silent for a while before uttering another shocking piece of news.

"Gao Xingrong was taken away by the inspection team."

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Fan Wanli could not contain the shock of the news, and his expression showed obvious fluctuations.

Just a few days ago.

He was just now toasting and chatting with Dean Gao.

"what reason?"

"I don't know yet. But I have a bad feeling. Gao Xingrong has done so much for us, and as soon as the inspection team came, they took him away."

Zhou Shaohua paused, looking at his partner, "Chairman Fan, do you have a feeling that you came prepared?"

Emotions are contagious.

Even the well-informed Fan Wanli was not as composed as before, and his brows were furrowed.

"Can they be rescued?"

Zhou Shao shook his head. "My aunt said to give up on this idea."

Fan Wanli remained silent for a while, then said, "Is there any way to shut him up?"

"You know Gao Xingrong. He's greedy, lustful, and spineless. It's hard to expect him to resist."

"His daughter got a job at Greenland Group."

"Fan Wanli suddenly spoke. So many years of cooperation have naturally fostered a good understanding. Their eyes met, and Zhou Shao instantly understood what the other meant."

The accumulation of capital has always been bloody.

No one's wealth comes from thin air.

"When did this happen?"

"Not long ago."

Fan Wanli didn't explain much, but to put it simply, "He only has this one daughter, and even tigers don't eat their cubs."

Zhou Shao looked thoughtful, and then nodded.

“That’s one way. But it’s not enough to just shut him up. We also need to clean up the mess ourselves so that we don’t give anyone cause for gossip.”

"Yes, Shacheng is, after all, a clean and civilized city."

After speaking, Fan Wanli pondered for a moment, then called his secretary in.

"Notify Lu Xu and tell him to come over immediately."

A short while later, Lu Xu, the person in charge of Greenland Phase II, strode into the office.

"Chairman."

He saw a man of similar age sitting on the sofa with the chairman, but he didn't recognize him.

There is no other reason.

Not high enough level.

As a senior executive at Greenland Group, he could make those so-called big shots tremble and stand as punishment in his office, but there are always people more powerful than him.

Human society is a cruel food chain disguised as civilization.

"Arrange for a construction team to move into Greenland Phase II. The construction site must be up and running again by tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Xu was caught off guard.

Resumption of construction?

Didn't we just win the lawsuit?

Despite his bewilderment, with others present, he certainly wouldn't openly question the chairman's decision.

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

"Chairman Fan is indeed decisive and efficient; I admire him."

After Lu Xu entered, Zhou Shao remained silent. Only after Lu Xu left did Zhou Shao speak, and the gloom between his brows seemed to lessen somewhat.

"So many formidable figures emerged from Shacheng, yet they have all vanished without a trace. Only Chairman Fan remains, still reigning supreme in the martial world. There must be a reason for this."

"It's all thanks to Young Master Zhou's care."

Mutual flattery is inevitable in business dealings; it's a social skill that successful people must follow.

"Chairman Fan, please don't say that. Greenland's contributions to our Shacheng are obvious to all. My aunt often says that companies like Greenland should be strongly supported."

"Thank you for Mayor Zhou's recognition. We will definitely continue our efforts and live up to the expectations of the people of Shacheng and the government."

Zhou Shao nodded, "Then I won't bother Chairman Fan any longer."

"Take care, Mr. Zhou."

After seeing the other party off, Fan Wanli called Lu Xu again.

"Chairman."

"The second phase of the Greenland project should be handled with caution. We should not rush it, but let the outside world see our determination to deliver the houses."

Lu Xu understood immediately; it was just a matter of putting on a show, making it appear as if construction was underway.

Which person in the real estate industry isn't good at this kind of tactic?
"Chairman, I understand."

"We also need to reassure the owners of Phase II. Their purchase of our properties is a sign of their trust in us, and we cannot betray that trust. If there are any problems, they must report them to me immediately."

Lu Xu sensed something was wrong. The chairman was never so talkative. Could it be that something was wrong?
Hasn't the lawsuit been settled?

"Don't worry, Chairman, I know what to do." (End of Chapter)
