The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

It was during the second phase of the "Golden City" project.

Although it was possible to take action at that time, Ding Xin felt it was still a bit hasty.

after all...

Even if cross-shareholding has already begun at this point, it is estimated that not many subsidiaries will be involved, and it is likely that only a small portion will be involved.

in other words...

Taking action at this point would yield too little benefit, which doesn't align with Grandpa Ding's principle of maximizing his own interests!

So it's still PASS!

Again...

This was when the "Golden City" project reached its fourth phase.

This isn't really the right time!

after all...

The project is nearing its end in its fourth phase, by which time the overall situation should be largely stable.

in other words...

The necessary adjustments have been mostly completed!

Even if Ding Xin were to take action, he felt the price he would have to pay would be very high, making it somewhat unwise.

This also does not align with his own interests.

so...

All things considered, starting work in the third phase of the project would be the most cost-effective approach...

At this point, the adjustment of "cross-shareholding" has been largely completed, and it is a situation where one is "riding a tiger and finding it difficult to dismount."

Only at this in-between point in time...

Ding Xin was able to reap the greatest benefits and reap the greatest rewards with the least cost!

So far...

Based on his deductions, Ding Xin clarified the outcome he desired, identified his target, and even calculated the timing for his action...

Next...

It's about considering what kind of plan to develop...

In other words, it's about how to dig the pit in advance, and who should jump in first...

Ding Xin leaned back, shifting to a more comfortable position, and lightly tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingertips, pondering carefully...

Time passes by minute by minute...

After an unknown amount of time, Ding Xin felt the car beneath him slowing down until it came to a complete stop. Then, An Hemao's gruff voice rang out from inside the car: "Big brother, we've arrived at the press conference venue!"

"Ok!"

Ding Xin responded softly and slowly opened his eyes.

In just a short while...

He'd come up with a pretty good, albeit terrible, idea, but he still needed a fool to cooperate...

As for who should be the fool...

Either Chen Xingjun or Zhao Taiwu will do!

But for the time being...

He simply couldn't determine which of the two was the most suitable.

after all...

Since we're going to have idiots cooperate, the sillier the better!

However, Ding Xin doesn't know the two of them very well, so it's really hard to judge which one of them is more foolish.

"Ah--"

With a soft chuckle, Ding Xin straightened his clothes, then opened the car door and got out...

Under the sunlight...

His shadow was stretched very long.

No rush...

Let's put it aside for now...

Let's observe for a while before making a decision...

......

the other side.

Inside a luxury car speeding down the highway.

Zhao Taiwu leaned back in the back seat and opened his eyes, looking slightly agitated.

Even though Chen Xingjun explained so much before they parted ways, he still harbors resentment about being "blackmailed" by Ding Xin.

I was so frustrated!

He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life!

"Damn it! You stinking mud-legged bastard!"

Zhao Taiwu muttered a curse under his breath.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, he reached out and rolled down the car window, wanting to get some fresh air.

A gust of wind rushed in through the window, brushing against Zhao Taiwu's face, finally easing the frustration in his heart a little.

As the car turned an intersection and was about to arrive at the new construction headquarters...

Zhao Taiwu glanced out the window unintentionally.

next second...

He frowned, his eyes filled with a sinister glint.

Three people were seen holding a banner on the street with the word "protest" written on it. They looked distressed and shouted the slogan "Give back the money."

What's going on outside?

Zhao Taiwu asked in a deep voice.

"what?"

The secretary, who was driving in the front seat, didn't react for a moment. Upon hearing this, she subconsciously glanced out the window, her expression tightening, but she immediately replied, "Ah, Representative, you don't need to pay attention to them, it's nothing serious!"

"Nothing serious?"

Zhao Taiwu's frustration, which had just eased somewhat, surged up again in an instant: "Are you taking my blindness and just trying to fool me?"

Or...

As the company representative, I no longer have the authority to know about the company's operations.

Secretary Cui?

These words were undeniably heavy.

"Representative... no... that's not it, you've misunderstood..."

Secretary Cui's forehead instantly broke out in a fine sweat. He explained with an embarrassed smile, "These people have nothing to do with our company; they're all employees of outsourced companies. There might have been some misunderstanding regarding the financial settlement, but someone is already handling it..."

"Outsourced workers? They have nothing to do with our company?"

Zhao Taiwu snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on Secretary Cui's face through the rearview mirror, and said, word by word, "These people have made a scene at the company entrance, and you're telling me it's none of your business?"

......

Chapter 563 Handling it personally

"Representative, this was indeed an accident..."

Secretary Cui swallowed hard, suppressing her fear, and carefully explained, "Their demands are unreasonable; they're just making trouble..."

"Making trouble out of nothing? Is it really that simple?"

Zhao Taiwu may be simple-minded, but he could still see things clearly. He immediately questioned sharply, "Then why do they dare to collect debts at our company's gate? Don't you know how much damage this has done to the company's image?"

"I know, Representative, this was my mistake, and I will resolve this issue as soon as possible."

Secretary Cui knew she couldn't be stubborn at this point, so she first nodded in apology, then added, "But please rest assured, legally speaking, we have absolutely no problems whatsoever..."

As they were talking, the car had already stopped downstairs at the headquarters of Xinjin Construction.

Zhao Taiwu did not get off the bus in a hurry.

Instead, he continued to turn his head to look at the three people holding protest banners outside the window, and a sense of irritation rose in his heart.

He was already depressed because of being blackmailed by Ding Xin, and this incident made him feel even worse.
