Power and wealth bring fragrance

Dingsheng Group, President's Office.

"Haha, thank you, Chairman Chen. Let's play golf together sometime."

Liu Ding smiled and ended the call, his expression returning to a calm tinged with gloom, as he gently stroked the hot phone.

As soon as Wei Yuan left, he began to deal with the problems left over from those incriminating materials.

He made several phone calls and had almost resolved a few key issues, but a faint unease still lingered in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at the trash can at his feet again.

The incriminating materials that Wei Yuan brought earlier have already been destroyed by him.

But Liu Ding was certain that Wei Yuan must have a backup of this.

Even if he handles it in time, if Wei Yuan is really exposed, it will still cause him a lot of trouble.

Passively solving problems is ultimately not the best approach.

We still need to address the problem at its source.

When it comes to solving problems, nothing is more efficient than dealing with the people who created them.

A ruthless glint flashed in Liu Ding's eyes as he picked up his phone to make another call.

Suddenly there was a knock on the office door. Three seconds later, the flirtatious secretary timidly pushed the door open and whispered.

"Mr. Liu, we have received news from Dongsen Bank."

"They...they said they're going to stop the loans."

"What?"

Liu Ding was shocked and stood up abruptly, his head spinning for a moment.

The loan has been suspended?

For real estate companies, this is practically like turning off the tap that's their lifeline. How can that be allowed?

Without loans, not only will many of its projects be suspended, but the company's cash flow will also be stretched to an extremely dangerous level!

"What happened? Why did they stop lending?"

Liu Ding roared in fury, and the secretary shrank back, her face full of grievance.

If she knew why Eastern Bank stopped lending, would she still need to be a decorative secretary?

Liu Ding then realized what was happening, angrily waved his hand to send his secretary away, grabbed his phone and called a familiar executive at Eastern Bank.

Three minutes later, Liu Ding hung up the phone, his expression slightly softened.

Fortunately, it wasn't the worst-case scenario I had anticipated.

They suspended lending because of a mid-year audit by the head office.

However, it will take no more than half a month. Once the head office audit is completed, they will restore the loan to Dingsheng Group as soon as possible.

However, this gave Dingsheng Group a two-week hiatus.

This period happened to be the payment period for Dingsheng Group to make payments to its suppliers.

Furthermore, the newly acquired land has already begun construction, which requires a massive amount of capital.

The little money in the account is simply not enough.

It's too late to apply for a loan from other banks; the various approvals and procedures alone will take more than half a month.

Liu Ding hesitated for a moment, then made a decisive decision.

Underground banks!

At times like these, only they have a large amount of cash!

Liu Gang immediately took out his phone and made a call; the other party was also an acquaintance.

Without much effort, Liu Gang easily secured 100 million yuan in funding.

However, because it is a short-term bridge loan, the interest rate is relatively high.

Liu Gang used two properties under his name as collateral, and the interest alone was still nearly ten million yuan after only half a month.

However, compared to the time wasted, this amount of money is well worth it.

Having settled the money issue, Liu Ding breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately summoned his secretary.

"Arrange a car, I need to go to the construction site!"

The secretary dared not delay and quickly told the driver to go downstairs to wait. She helped Liu Ding change his clothes, get into the car, and head straight to the construction site.

What Liu Ding didn't see was that as he drove away, an inconspicuous black car quietly followed behind him.

Wei Yuan, wearing a baseball cap, chuckled softly as he followed Liu Ding's car at a distance.

After leaving Chu Lingyi, he had Qin Xiao send another car over and waited for Liu Ding downstairs at Dingsheng Group.

Wei Yuan was certain that once Chu Lingyi made her move, Liu Ding would definitely follow suit.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Lingyi contacted the bank to cut off the loan as he had instructed, Liu Ding couldn't hold back any longer.

Wei Yuan followed Liu Ding all the way to a construction site.

This is a prime piece of land recently acquired by Dingsheng Group, with ambitious plans to develop high-end real estate here and make a fortune.

The construction site project manager and his men were already waiting at the gate, their faces beaming with smiles as they welcomed Liu Ding inside.

Wei Yuan parked his car a long way away, found a secluded spot, and easily climbed over the fence to enter the construction site.

He found a safety helmet, put it on his head, wiped some dust off his clothes, and a dusty construction worker was born.

Wei Yuan found the project office at the construction site and stopped about fifteen meters away.

His ability to hear things has expanded considerably due to his recent efforts to punish evil and promote good.

From here, you can clearly hear the conversation inside.

Liu Ding's voice reached his ears clearly.

"I don't care what methods you use, you have to get something like this done in the shortest amount of time."

"First, build an impressive storefront to create a buzz, and then we'll start our own promotional campaign and begin pre-sales immediately."

"I don't care about that, I just want progress. If you don't meet the targets, don't expect any progress payments!"

Liu Ding exuded an air of dominance as he spoke confidently in the conference room, every word clearly reaching Wei Yuan's ears.

Wei Yuan's lips curled slightly.

Liu Ding's actions were entirely within his expectations.

Without bank loans, the only options besides finding an underground bank to bridge the gap are to sell the house as soon as possible to raise funds.

Without Wei Yuan, Liu Ding's move would have been incredibly effective.

But with Wei Yuan here, how could he possibly proceed so smoothly?

After Liu Ding finished the meeting, the project manager eagerly led him to a place to be received.

Wei Yuan did not follow them, but instead quietly sneaked into the project manager's office and placed the bugging device that he had Qin Xiao buy.

After putting it down, Wei Yuan left the office and returned to his car.

The eavesdropping device has wireless transmission capabilities, allowing it to transmit conversations back in real time.

Three hours later, the previously silent bug finally made a sound.

"Damn it, has the client gone mad?!"

A drunken voice rang out, unleashing a torrent of profanities.

"You think I have only half a month to come up with a storefront? I'll give you my head!"

"That's bad enough, but they're incredibly stingy. They don't pay a single penny of progress payment and keep making us advance funds, while also cutting costs."

"The subcontractors are practically risking their lives, what's the point of worrying about anything else?!"

"If they don't have the money, I'll have to pay them to supply the materials!"

"That's fucking out of their mind!"

Immediately afterward, another slightly more sober voice rang out.

"Costs have been reduced to the bare minimum, and there are hardly any workers left."

"If we want to further reduce costs, we can only find solutions by focusing on the materials."

"Switching the steel bars and lowering the concrete grade—this is a way to save money and get things done faster."

"But that's against the rules, and if something goes wrong, it'll be a big problem."

Wei Yuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

The main event is about to begin.

This is exactly what he's been waiting for!
