Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yi Hong arrived at the designated location, but the person he was meeting hadn’t arrived yet.
Yi Hong asked the waiter, “Do you have anything here that’s good for waking me up?”
“Coffee.”
“Give me something else.”
“Then we only have tea.”
“Alright, bring a pot of tea, make it strong.”
“Sure thing.”
During this time, the man also lit a cigarette but didn’t smoke much.
In theory, everything had gone smoothly with the land acquisition this time, and he should be happy. However, Yi Hong couldn’t shake the feeling of unease, as if the other party still had a trick up their sleeve.
This waiting and anticipation were not pleasant.
Suddenly, his phone rang, displaying an unfamiliar number.
“Who is this?”
“Good morning, Mr. Yi,” a voice, altered with voice-changing software, resembling that of a young girl, spoke.
The man frowned, clearly suspecting something. “If this is some kind of prank, I suggest you stop now.”
“A prank? Is that how Mr. Yi sees it?”
“Otherwise?”
“It seems you’re not aware that Tian Shui Real Estate has sent a representative.”
Yi Hong’s expression changed slightly. “You know me, and you know about Tian Shui Real Estate. Who are you?”
“I thought you would ask who is the representative from Tian Shui Real Estate.” “You know?” The man raised an eyebrow, and it wasn’t until later that he realized he was being led by the nose.
A burst of cheerful laughter came from the other end. “Not only do I know, but
I can also tell you clearly—it’s Shen Qian!”
Yi Hong’s expression subtly changed.
“I guess you must be quite surprised now. It’s just a piece of land, why would it attract the helm of Tian Shui Real Estate to personally visit Beihai? What’s the hidden story behind this? Or rather, what special charm does that piece of land hold to make Shen Qian attach so much importance to it?”
Every sentence from the other party hit the mark, exactly as Yi Hong had thought.
“Can you enlighten me?”
“With great pleasure.”
Yi Hong became more serious, putting aside his initial nonchalant demeanor. “I’m all ears.”
“Business secrets are not something you can just listen to.”
“What do you want then? Money?”
“No, no, no… Talking about money is too vulgar, and besides, I don’t need money.”
Yi Hong’s gaze darkened, indicating that there must be an ulterior motive.
As expected—
“They say the enemy of your enemy is your friend. 1 don’t want your money; I only need a promise from Mr. Yi.”
“What promise?”
“To spare no effort to sabotage Tian Shui Real Estate’s project in Beihai.” “Hmm…” Yi Hong chuckled coldly. “Spare no effort? You seem to have a very high opinion of me. After the impulsive and passionate years, the hard-earned assets I’ve accumulated can’t simply be gambled away with just a promise.” Winning would be good, but losing would mean losing everything.
Nobody would make such a deal with a stranger hiding in the shadows.
Fortunately, Yi Hong was an upright person; otherwise, he could have agreed first and then backed out later.
However, Shen Wan had also accurately assessed his temperament, which was why she dared to make such a request.
“Mr. Yi, you might want to hear me out completely before deciding whether to agree or not.”
“Okay.”
“If I’m not mistaken, Hengyi Real Estate’s main development project in Beihai is a tourist resort with the characteristic brand ‘Sea Sky Origin Scenic’.”
“That’s correct.”
“But from what 1 understand, this time, Tian Shui’s land acquisition is also for developing a tourist resort. In other words, they want a piece of your cake. If you can’t cut off the source while it’s still budding, it will become a big problem in the future. Can Mr. Yi endure that? You can treat today as if we never had this conversation.”
Yi Hong’s eyelids twitched, and he took a deep breath, forcibly calming himself down.. “Do you have any evidence that Tian Shui Real Estate wants to develop a tourist resort in Beihai?”
