I have ten trillion licking dog gold

A jet-black Audi A6 drove into the Economic Development Zone and stopped in front of the twin towers of Greenland Group, a star enterprise in Shacheng, more than ten minutes later.

The car door opens.

A dark brown leather shoe landed on the ground, and Zhou Shaohua, who could be considered a Brahmin, got out of the car, stood beside it, and straightened his cufflinks.

of course.

His status as a Brahmin should be higher than Wu Yubin's, since Shacheng is not a county town, but a standard prefecture-level city.

look up.

The weather was nice today, with gentle sunshine, pleasant humidity, and neither too hot nor too cold. But for some reason, the Twin Towers seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.

Zhou Shaohua walked towards the building.

"Mr. Zhou."

The secretary bowed slightly in greeting.

"You go about your business."

Zhou Shaohua walked straight to the office of the highest ruler of Greenland Group without stopping, and pushed open the door.

Looking around, Fan Wanli wasn't sitting at his desk; he was brewing tea. As if he had calculated the exact time of Zhou Shaohua's arrival, he precisely picked up the teapot and poured tea for him.

Zhou Shaohua strode to his seat, glancing at the steaming tea set, and spoke quickly and directly.

"Chairman Fan should know that I am not very interested in tea."

After saying that, he looked up and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Neither of them is unemployed, and their time is precious; the other party wouldn't contact him without a reason.

"Why don't you try some first, Young Master Zhou? It's old tea that we specially sent someone to Luzhou to purchase. You might like it."

Zhou Shaohua remained silent, then picked up the cup, gently blew on it, and took a sip.

For him, drinking tea is not as good as drinking plain water, and he believes that most people probably wouldn't be able to taste anything from it, including his aunt.

Therefore, many people drink tea simply to appear cultured.

Of course.

Even if I'm not interested, the other party went out of their way to make tea, so I have to give them basic courtesy.

"despair."

The Zisha teacup, a true collector's item, was placed down.

"The inspection team just came by."

Fan Wanli spoke.

Zhou Shaohua's eyes flickered instantly, and he asked pointedly, "What are you here for?"

"Catch someone."

"Catch who?"

It certainly wasn't Fan Wanli, the chairman of Greenland Group, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting here unharmed. Zhou Shaohua's questions were all exceptionally concise and to the point, without any unnecessary words, befitting his status.

"Lu Xu is the project manager for Greenland Phase II. I met Zhou Shao once when he came last time."

"The one with glasses?"

Fan Wanli nodded, his face calm and composed, like a still well. Whether he was truly as calm inside, only he knew…

wrong.

If he were truly consistent in his words and deeds, how could he have been so eager to call for people as soon as the inspection team left?

"Were they brought in to arrest them?"

"Ah."

Fan Wanli added, "Right here in this office, right under my nose."

Eyes facing each other.

The atmosphere fell silent, and a sense of stagnation settled in.

Zhou Shaohua silently picked up the purple clay cup and took another sip.

"What's the reason?" That's how efficient conversations between important figures are.

Fan Wanli replied, "It should be related to the Greenland Phase II project."

"Didn't I warn you..."

Zhou Shaohua's eyes were sharp, and his tone unconsciously carried a reprimanding tone.

“We resumed work in a timely manner, but we couldn’t regain the trust of the homeowners. Mr. Zhou, those homeowners aren’t stupid; they know we’re lying to them.”

"How did the inspection team find out when they've only been here a few days?"

Zhou Shaohua was puzzled.

In such a large city like Shacheng, the Greenland Phase II project is just a scrap of the puzzle, so how did it attract the attention of the inspection team?

"I suspect that the inspection team is targeting us this time."

Fan Wanli's expression was grim. "They arrested Gao Xingrong not because of his personal conduct. Gao Xingrong went in, and then Lu Xu was taken away so quickly. Young Master Zhou, the signal is very clear. They arrested people right in front of me, without even worrying about alerting the enemy."

Fan Wanli was shrewd and calculating, and Zhou Shaohua was certainly no fool either.

He was perfectly aware of what the other party was saying!
In fact, after learning that the inspection team had entered Shacheng without his aunt's knowledge, he felt uneasy, as if a stone was hanging over his heart. When he heard that the inspection team was openly arresting people here, he had a bad feeling.

As a Brahmin, he was well aware of some unspoken rules.

Arrest them.

Where you arrest someone, how you arrest them, and in front of whom all have different implications.

"Young Master Zhou, we must abandon any wishful thinking and prepare for battle."

Zhou Shaohua frowned deeply, his face grim.

"Respond to the challenge? Against whom? The inspection team? Are you crazy?"

There is no third person, and no need for hypocritical formalities.

Moreover, their relationship is like that of grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Sitting idly by and waiting to die will only lead to certain death."

Ok.

This top business tycoon in Shacheng seems to have truly gone mad.

Zhou Shaohua clenched his jaw muscles and shouted sternly, "Hey, you surnamed Fan, get your facts straight! You're just a businessman! Don't think you're so great just because you have a little money. You've been arrogant in Shacheng all this time, so you really think there's no law or order here? You think you can fight the inspection team? How many lives do you have?!"

Fan Wanli ignored him. "It's not that I want to fight, it's that the inspection team is targeting me, Young Master Zhou. Do you expect me to sit here and wait to die? Can Young Master Zhou do that? They took Lu Xu away right in front of me. Next time, it could be me. And after me, can Young Master Zhou guarantee that he won't become their next target?"

Zhou Shaohua's jaw muscles bulged, and his face contorted with rage. He stopped hurling insults, suppressed his emotions, and after a long silence, said, "Things haven't come to that yet. Don't scare yourself."

"Don't worry, Young Master Zhou, no matter what happens, I will never betray the Zhou family. Everything I, Fan Wanli, have today is given to me by the Zhou family."

Fan Wanli picked up the teapot and poured tea for the other person.

His words, like the steaming hot tea, seemed heartwarming, but Zhou Shaohua felt only a cold laugh after hearing them.

Is this a show of loyalty?

No.

This is a threat!

The connections are too deep. Greenland has been tyrannical in Shacheng for so many years. If something happens to them, how could the Zhou family possibly escape responsibility?

Zhou Shaohua was furious at being secretly threatened, but this was not the time for infighting; they had to unite and overcome the difficulties together.

He grabbed the tea and, ignoring its scalding temperature, took a big gulp.

“From this moment on, I will take over. If there are any problems, tell me everything in detail. No hiding anything is allowed.”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Fan Wanli, acting as the waiter, finally picked up his teacup, and the ripples inside were unusually violent.

He ignored it, lowered his head to drink his tea, and slowly exhaled.

Fan Wanli was indeed just a businessman and couldn't possibly control everything, but the sky over Shacheng was right above his head.

Inspection team?
Just like his journey over the years, as long as the Zhou family is willing to protect him, he fears no hardship. (End of Chapter)
