Arrogance and domineering, starting in the 1990s

Seeing that his second son was a little dirty but not seriously injured, Wu Shiguo felt relieved.

But then she immediately asked nervously, "Where's your brother?"

Wu Ran replied somewhat awkwardly, "I'm still there, but I'm just watching the show..."

His senses are a bit mixed right now...

My older brother is back.

The older brother saw him getting beaten.

His older brother handed him a brick.

The older brother found someone to replace him.

Until he returned, his older brother didn't say anything to him, he just teased his younger sister.

"Second son, there's something I want to discuss with you..." Wu Shiguo hesitated for a moment.

While brushing the dust off Wu Ran's clothes, he spoke in a consultative tone.

Wu Ran wasn't stupid; he knew what his father wanted to say, but he didn't want to know, so he pursed his lips and asked, "What is it?"

"Your older brother is back now, but he doesn't have a proper job. Dad's thinking of finding him a moving job and buying him a tricycle..."

"Dad thinks that science and engineering are actually quite good, and it's not necessary to go to Tsinghua or Peking University..."

Wu Ran's academic performance was excellent, and the school could recommend him to a polytechnic with all tuition and fees waived.

But Wu Ran wants to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, which are the top universities in the country and offer better future prospects!

But he also knew about his family's situation: his mother was bedridden, his father had been laid off, and his older brother had just been released from labor camp.

I also have a younger sister who just started second grade.

Although he didn't want to give up his dreams, the words of refusal kept swirling on his lips, but he just couldn't bring himself to say them.

In the end, he could only manage to utter one sentence.

"I understand, Dad."

After saying that, she forced back her tears and walked into the house. As she passed the main room,

He didn't even look at the three dishes and one soup that were served to welcome Wu Shu on the table.

Wu Shiguo looked at Wu Ran's departing figure with a guilty expression, then pinched his thigh hard.

The second child is the most academically gifted in the family and is also his favorite.

But he couldn't just ignore his eldest son; they were both his children, and right now it was clear that the eldest needed the family's help more...

Wu Shu had very sharp ears and overheard Wu Shiguo's words from the doorway, but he didn't say anything.

The meal consisted of Yang Suzhen serving food while Wu Shiguo and Wu Ran remained silent.

Wu Qing, meanwhile, peacefully spent his time with a shrimp in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right.

After clearing away the dishes, Wu Shu found a piece of paper and a pen and began to write and draw.

Before I knew it, an afternoon had passed.

Looking at the time, it was already eight o'clock. Wu Shu said goodbye to his family and prepared to go see Fatty Gao.

Just before leaving, he almost bumped into the door frame, and then slapped it hard.

I glanced again at the cramped and small house.

He felt that finding the person behind the scenes who framed him was not his first priority!

The most important thing is to move to a bigger house first!

...

At this moment, in the Auspicious and Prosperous Private Room of Zhengtai Restaurant.

Gao Jinbao was walking around a large table that could seat more than a dozen people, his hands behind his back.

He would look up at his watch every now and then, and then at the doorway.

A few of the henchmen sat on the sofa, either reading erotic magazines or smoking and discussing which place had the prettiest girls.

There was absolutely no trace of Gao Jinbao's anxiety.

Dai Kun had already finished giving his statement and was released.

After Huang Mao went inside, he felt incredibly nervous and kept stammering.

Dai Kun was even more prone to making up lies.

In the end, the two sides reached a settlement.

"Ah Kun, have you managed to get the message through yet?!" Fatty Gao asked impatiently.

"Brother Bao, you've asked me several times already, I definitely notified them." Dai Kun was a little helpless after being asked.

Fatty Gao glared at Dai Kun and slapped him on the back of the head, cursing, "I already told you! From now on, call me Boss Gao!"

We're running a legitimate business now! You think we're still those thugs who collect stall fees like before?!

Dai Kun held his head and muttered aggrievedly, "Even if I do forced demolition work now, I'm still a scoundrel."

It would have been better if Dai Kun hadn't grumbled; the more he grumbled, the angrier Gao Jinbao became!

He made these people sign the demolition contract, and these people went to forcibly demolish the property with knives, guns, and clubs!

Let them go and fetch people, they'll go and kidnap people!

After finally settling the official issues, a fair bidding process was possible, but not only were those real estate companies all very powerful,

Their connections are even more powerful; within the rules, I simply can't compete with them! The bidding is just a few days away!

I have absolutely no competitive advantage!

The thought of having already received millions in demolition compensation, and then failing to acquire the sugar factory's land...

If it can't be integrated with what you already own, then you can only sell it to other real estate companies at a low price.

I spent tens of thousands of yuan just on the forced demolition and ransom.

The land was finally acquired after many twists and turns.

His heart felt like it was bleeding when he was about to sell the item to someone else at a rock-bottom price.

"Talk back! Talk back! Talk back!" Gao Jinbao hit Dai Kun several more times before reluctantly stopping.

He tugged at his tie, took a deep breath,

He yelled at the waiters outside, "Turn the air conditioning up! Damn, it's like a sauna!"

"Fatty Gao, so hot-tempered? Why don't you go cool off first?" Wu Shu walked in from outside with a playful look on his face.

"Hey, Master Shu, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, I would have gone to your house to welcome you myself!" Gao Jinbao exclaimed upon seeing the person in question.

He didn't care about whether it was popular or not, and quickly ran to Wu Shu's side, talking to him while pulling out a chair for Wu Shu to sit on.

Wu Shu didn't refuse, and casually leaned back in his chair, looking at the table full of delicacies, such as cat's feet, mushrooms, and soft-shelled turtle.

It's all highly nutritious.

...................................

"What, so many nourishing dishes, are you trying to make me burn myself alive?" Wu Shu laughed and said casually.

"How could that be? Everyone in the unit knows that Master Shu has incredible stamina; he can handle seven or eight men a day."

"Knowing you don't like the 'right' kind of food, but prefer expensive ones, that's why we sourced fresh ingredients from Changbai Mountain in advance!"

"Going all out? Looks like you've run into a really tough situation." Wu Shu liked people who spoke nicely, but he liked sensible people even more.

Seeing that the other party was so direct, which suited their nature, Gao Jinbao immediately scrunched up his features and made a crying face.

He spoke up and revealed what he wanted to ask for.

There is a piece of land in the north of S City that was auctioned off by the government after the sugar factory went bankrupt.

Fatty Gao had gotten inside information beforehand and bought a piece of sugar at a low price near the sugar factory.

They're just waiting to acquire the sugar factory, combine the two plots of land, and develop a residential community on their own.

But the person he hired, whether because he thought the money was too little or for some other reason, is now refusing to give him the land for the sugar factory that was originally agreed upon!

They insisted on going through a formal auction, but instead they opted for a blind auction!

It's actually fine if he leaves; Fatty Gao still has a few professionals under his command, although they're not top-tier.

But preparing a tender document and submitting a bid are no problem.

However, if it's a secret auction, he won't know the other people's bids. Although it's easy to manipulate things behind the scenes, the other party can do the same!

So once he started planning, he decided to resort to underhanded tactics.

He sent people to warn the construction companies, hoping they wouldn't try to take the land from him, but despite sending many people, not a single one responded.

They either beat him up or mocked him for being low-class.

And then someone relayed a message to Fatty Gao, telling him not to have any crooked ideas and to compete fairly.

This directly crippled half of Fatty Gao's martial arts skills, preventing him from resorting to underhanded tactics, and he couldn't compete with those companies anyway.

He's been so anxious these past few days, he can't even release his pent-up frustration.

"Master Shu, you absolutely have to help me!" Fatty Gao squatted down next to Wu Shu's chair, looking at him expectantly.

Actually, Wu Shu wasn't some kind of business genius. The fat man sought Wu Shu's help...

It was simply because Wu Shu had managed to manipulate all sorts of people, both legitimate and illegitimate, within the prison within six months.

He is very good at problem-solving and has a clear mind. He took this approach of obtaining loans by acquiring land and then using the loans to buy more land.

That's where Wu Shu pointed it out to him.

He can be considered a "mentor" who imparted knowledge to me.
