Chu Yang scratched his ear, looking distressed, and said, "It's me!"

"Chu Yang! Can't you at least consider the context when you lie? Someone's offered me such a huge 'cake,' do you think they're doing charity?"

Su Wanning's tone was full of disappointment and frustration.

Chu Yang was also a little annoyed. "Think about it carefully. Every time since we met, you didn't believe me, and what was the result? Didn't you always end up being proven wrong?"

There was a sudden silence on Su Wanning's end.

A moment later, her voice, as clear as snow, came through.

"I admit you're a bit clever and capable. But last time you said you could earn 5 billion a month, and this time you have a 30 billion investment project. How can I trust you? Forget it, I don't expect you to help me with anything. As long as the company doesn't collapse, I'll take responsibility for everything myself."

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Chu Yang sighed in frustration.

Lu Sisi bumped him with her arm.

"I heard everything. Actually, don't blame your sister-in-law for not believing you. Even the four major families of Donghai wouldn't dare say they could secure such a huge project. If I hadn't said I might die this time, my father wouldn't have gone against everyone's wishes and given the project to Sister Wan Ning."

Hearing this, Chu Yang felt a little better. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Fangfei called.

"Honey, I'm at your wife's company. Murong Lan arrived with a man named Gu Chen. Those city officials are treating him with more respect than they would their own fathers. I think they're here to cause trouble."

Chu Yang smirked, "Uh... I just offended him. He's the son of the provincial governor."

Liu Fangfei exclaimed in surprise, "Honey, what should we do? This project requires final approval from the province. I'm afraid Wan Ning won't be able to handle it."

Chu Yang quickly reassured her, "What are you afraid of? I'll be there in a bit. You hold off Wan Ning for a while."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yang was about to leave when Lü Sisi stopped him.

"Good brother, you don't want to just go like this and then beat up Gu Chen, do you?"

Chu Yang frowned and said, "Whether or not to beat him up depends on how much of a scoundrel he is."

Lu Sisi curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"Actually, I think 'Chu Yang' shouldn't have gone."

Chu Yang was immediately taken aback. "What do you mean?"

Lü Sisi playfully covered her face with her little hands, leaving only her eyes showing.

"I think Ai Qiandao should take action."

Chu Yang paused for a moment, then thought it made a lot of sense.

If Gu Chen doesn't do anything outrageous and only uses his power to oppress others, then dealing with the identity of "Chu Yang" will be somewhat troublesome.

On the contrary, the identity of "Ai Qiandao" is very suitable.

Even if I wanted to beat that guy up, it wouldn't involve the Su Group, nor would it cause any unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Chu Yang's thoughts, Lü Sisi got up, took his hand, and walked outside.

"I know a men's clothing store nearby. I'll get you a new outfit and buy you a nice mask."

Chu Yang increasingly felt that Lü Sisi must have some ability to see through his thoughts.

Inside the VIP room of the Su Group, six business officials from the city hall stood on both sides, showering Gu Chen with flattery.

Gu Chen is the director of the Commerce Department of the Provincial Government. This time, Lu Wenguang directly contacted Gu Yuanqiao and gave the project to the Su Group, which made Gu Chen feel uncomfortable.

However, given that Lu Wenguang was his future father-in-law, he did not show any dissatisfaction.

But today, Chu Yang was pulling and tugging at Lü Sisi right in front of him, and he also heard that Chu Yang was the son-in-law of the Su family. As soon as he left, he asked Murong Lan to take him to the Su Group.

Murong Lan had received inside information about the land reclamation project early in the morning, which is why she rushed off to find Gu Yuanqiao.

She just didn't expect that, without her having to say anything, Chu Yang had already created such a good opportunity for her to take revenge.

She was naturally delighted to take Gu Chen to the Su Group to see what was going on.

At this moment, Su Wanning and Liu Fangfei almost ran to the VIP reception room.

"Director, I'm so sorry, I was just handling some official business."

Gu Chen's eyes were immediately drawn to it.

Su Wanning's skin was as white as snow and her eyes as bright as the cold moon. She wore a silver-gray business suit, her slender waist supporting a thunderous aura. Her slightly wavy long hair fell over her shoulders, and her dark eyes held a sharp, cold glint honed by the ups and downs of the business world.

As she walked, the sound of her high heels clicking on the ground was like ice beads falling onto a jade plate, and the long legs wrapped in black stockings evoked endless fantasies.

And then there's Liu Fangfei next to her, whose temperament is completely different from Su Wanning's aloofness. She has the kind of alluring charm that makes men go numb to the bone with just one glance.

If such two beauties could be included in the imperial court, why would the emperor need to hold court early in the morning?

Gu Chen suppressed his agitated feelings and nodded politely.

"President Su, please don't take it to heart. I'm just here to check on the efficiency of the municipal commerce department's coordination."

Su Wanning and Liu Fangfei sat side by side on the sofa opposite Gu Chen, both adopting humble postures.

Gu Chen crossed his legs and gently wiggled his toes, suddenly feeling like he was choosing a companion at a club.

"President Su, President Liu, let's get straight to the point. You know better than I do how big this project is. Even if the Su and Liu families join forces..."

He scoffed dismissively, "I'm afraid they're still far from being strong enough."

Liu Fangfei quickly smiled and explained, "Director, while our two companies are indeed somewhat lacking in strength for this collaboration, we have just submitted a plan to the municipal commerce department. We can secure rapid financing, and..."

Before Liu Fangfei could finish speaking, Gu Chen waved his hand impatiently.

"President Liu, as the director in charge of commerce for the entire province, are you questioning my judgment by saying all this?"

Liu Fangfei immediately realized that Gu Chen was there to cause trouble.

She subtly nudged Su Wanning's arm, signaling her to be careful when speaking later.

Su Wanning gave a polite smile, her lips slightly parted.

"Director, you certainly have a keen eye. We will not shy away from our shortcomings. We very much hope to hear your guidance on undertaking the Diamond Bay reclamation project."

Gu Chen hummed in agreement and nodded repeatedly.

"I've long heard that President Su and President Liu are the 'Ice and Fire Roses' of Donghai Shopping Mall, and they certainly live up to their reputation. However, President Su, isn't it a bit too arrogant to think you can just take over the Diamond Bay project with a single sentence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly kicked the coffee table in front of him.

A loud "boom" resounded.

The coffee table, weighing at least 200 pounds, brushed against Su Wanning and Liu Fangfei's sofa, crashed into the wall, and shattered into pieces.

"Or perhaps you're trying to fool me?"

Gu Chen's tone was gloomy, and his eyes were full of aggression.

Upon seeing this, the officials were initially taken aback, but then immediately began to rebuke him in unison.

"How rude! How could they speak so recklessly in front of the Director!"

"The Su Group is already getting cocky before they've even fully secured the project."

"Based on what Su Wanning just said, her company isn't qualified to undertake such a large project!"

Liu Fangfei cursed these sycophantic people in her heart; their faces changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

She was well aware of the situation; Su Wanning was in a difficult position right now, so she wanted to say something to ease the tension.

"Director, please calm down. Actually, what President Su just said was just to show that we are confident that we can do this project well under your guidance."

Gu Chen tilted his head, chuckled, and his eyes roamed unabashedly over Liu Fangfei's impressive breasts.

"So, Mr. Liu wants to be frank with me and have repeated discussions about the key points?"

How could Liu Fangfei, who was always adept at navigating social situations, not detect the flippancy in Gu Chen's words?

However, for the sake of the project, she held back and said with a forced smile, "Since the director is willing to be frank, I will naturally listen attentively."

Gu Chen chuckled awkwardly and waved his business card.

"Here's my contact information. Do you want it?"

Liu Fangfei quickly got up and stepped forward, reaching out her hands to receive it.

But the next second, Gu Chen threw the business card directly onto the ground between his legs.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, my hand slipped. Mr. Liu, could you please come and get it?"

As he spoke, he spread his legs apart further, his eyes full of mockery.
