Chapter Thirty-Three: A Sudden Change of Plan

Fan Tiantian's first reaction upon seeing Wu You was surprise, and her second reaction was confusion.

She had met Wu You before; he was treated as an honored guest by Zhou Peng at the auction. Later, her father told her that the young man was the seller of the luminous pearl. Could this person be related to the Wu family? Oh, right, he also seems to have the surname Wu.

Wu You spoke first.

"Who are you? What brings you to my doorstep?"

So it really is the owner of this place. No wonder Liu Weiliang couldn't get this plot of land. Fan Tiantian's eyes flickered slightly, and his mind raced.

She walked towards Wu You, extended her hand and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Wu, my name is Fan Tiantian, and I am the assistant to the president of Shengtian Group."

Upon hearing the name Sheng Tian, ​​Wu You felt slightly displeased, but one shouldn't hit a smiling face, especially such a beautiful girl, so he didn't show any emotion.

He reached out and briefly shook hands with her.

"Hello, I'm Wu You." A thought flashed through my mind; the feel of the handle was nice.

"I wonder what brings Mr. Fan here. Is it still about the demolition of my land?"

Fan Tiantian smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, we didn't go in because there was no one in the garden. Now that you're back, aren't you going to invite me in for a chat?"

Wu You glanced at Fan Tiantian and his group: "Alright, come in."

Bai Yanxi had actually been at home the whole time, but he ignored the person who knocked on the door and shouted earlier, focusing on his medical research and tending to the herb garden on the back mountain.

So Fan Tiantian and his group felt like no one was home, so they simply left the garden to admire the unique wisteria gate.

As the door opened, the fan that Bai Yanxi had been holding in his face fell off the recliner.

"Wu boy is back? I just lay down a short while ago. Those guys behind you must be the ones who were making a racket and banging on the door earlier."

Fan Tiantian's female secretary couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you open the door if someone was there?"

"Does having someone mean you have to open the door? Who are you?!" Old Bai ignored them completely, picked up the fan from the ground, and put it back on his face.

"You..." The female secretary was about to speak when Fan Tiantian stopped her.

“Mr. Wu, I am here today to apologize to you and the Wu family on behalf of Shengtian Group. There was a misunderstanding between us when Liu Weiliang was in charge of the Ecological Club.”

“I have found out that your father Wu Jianguo’s car accident was caused by someone sent by Liu Weiliang. I will find the suspect as soon as possible and hand him over to the judicial authorities.”

As she spoke, Fan Tiantian suddenly looked directly into Wu You's eyes: "And Liu Weiliang got what he deserved, don't you think, Mr. Wu?"

Wu You met Fan Tiantian's gaze without flinching: "Then thank you very much, President Fan. As for Liu Weiliang, he may have really done too many bad things in the past, and now he's getting his comeuppance."

"Did Mr. Fan come all this way just for these few words?"

Fan Tiantian smiled at Wu You and said, "Mr. Wu, you won't even offer us a cup of tea. We've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wu You's brow twitched, but he didn't say much. He went into the kitchen, grabbed a kettle, and then found five cups and a packet of cheap tea.

It was placed on the table in the living room.

"I apologize for the poor hospitality. If you want tea, please pour it yourself. If you want to sit, please sit on the bench next to the table, so you won't complain later that I didn't invite you to sit down."

Fan Tiantian was taken aback for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh: "Mr. Wu is joking."

"I'm not joking. By the way, our homegrown vegetables are quite good, and the chickens from the back hill are fresh. Why don't you stay for dinner, Mr. Fan?" Wu You said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, it seems Mr. Wu doesn't welcome us. I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I've come here firstly to apologize to your family, and secondly to explain something."

Fan Tian smiled mysteriously at Wu You: "Sheng Tian plans to abandon the development plan for this eco-club behind Xugou Village. As for the demolition agreements signed with the other households in the village, they are hereby voided since they have not yet been fulfilled."

Upon hearing this, Wu You was stunned for a moment, while the people around Fan Tiantian looked at her in surprise.

Wu You glanced at the two different expressions on the faces of the group: "President Fan, what do you mean by this?"

"Literal meaning."

"By the way, Mr. Wu, are the vines forming the archway outside roses? Where can I buy them?" Fan Tiantian showed great interest in the rose vines.

"That's not a rose, it just looks like one. I don't know where it's sold. I picked it up by chance, and I never expected it to grow so big."

"Can I get some seeds?" Fan Tiantian didn't give up.

Wu You shrugged: "Sorry, for some reason, this vine doesn't have any seeds. If you want to break off branches to plant, I have no objection."

Fan Tiantian looked disappointed: "There are no seeds. Forget about transplanting branches."

Wu You chuckled inwardly. Even if you wanted to break off a branch and transplant it, I could make it wither and die that very night. The next day, you would only find a pot of dead vines.

Sheng Tian and his group, led by Fan Tiantian, lingered at Wu You's house for almost two hours before finally getting up to leave.

...

On the way back, Fan Tiantian's female secretary asked with a puzzled look, "President Fan, weren't you planning to confront the Wu family about the demolition issue today? Why did you change your mind after meeting the person in charge?"

Fan Tiantian laughed and said, "Because I suddenly wanted to change it!"

“But the company has already spent tens of millions on this project.” The secretary still couldn’t understand.

"Apply to the district construction bureau to cancel the registration. We'll get back whatever amount of the reserve fund we can. A significant portion of those tens of millions went into Liu Weiliang's pocket. Even if he's paralyzed, do you think I can't pry it out? Hehe!" Fan Tiantian said casually.

Turning to look at the scenery outside the window, Wu You, who exactly are you?

...

Wu You was also pondering Fan Tiantian's intentions. Judging from the behavior of her entourage, it was clear that this woman had not initially come simply to apologize and explain the withdrawal plan.

These merchants are only interested in profit and won't do business at a loss. But since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, Wu You didn't plan to investigate further. Overall, it was in his best interest.

However, while Wu You is not in a hurry, others are.

Director Liu Ming of the Construction Bureau of District XS couldn't sit still any longer; he was holding the phone with a look of astonishment on his face.

"What? Shengtian isn't going to develop it anymore? But Director Shi just called me this morning and said he would make things easy for your project. Young man, you've already paid the deposit, how can you just withdraw like that! What? You can just give up the deposit?"

No matter how much Liu Ming pleaded, Shengtian's people only said one thing: withdraw their investment.

"Bang!"

Liu Ming slammed the phone down on the landline.

"What the hell is this, all without a beginning or an end!"

However, Liu Ming was really anxious this time. The municipal party committee gave the municipal construction bureau a greening task, and the bureau naturally distributed the task to each district.

The XS district is already quite large and is the industrial center of Qiantang, so Liu Ming's assigned tasks were naturally heavier. Originally, with some pre-existing plans and Shengtian's ecological manor, he was just about to meet the target.

It should look better compared to other districts; at least the punishment won't be biased towards me.

But with Sheng Tian's outburst, his performance targets dropped by 60%, which was quite bad.

If Director Shi of the Municipal Bureau fails to meet his targets, he certainly won't get away with it.

There are still six months left, I need to think of a solution.
