Originally a provincial-level project leader, Lin Yifeng was promoted to a municipal-level leader after Zhao Youming's single sentence—a huge leap.

Of course, Lin Yifeng didn't care about these things, and instead greeted the other party very politely.

"And this is...?"

"Hello, Director Lu."

"I am Lin Yifeng, the main person in charge."

"I want to ask, why is our project being halted!"

Director Lu looked at Lin Yifeng and, seeing that he was young, didn't take him seriously at all.

Director Lu sized them up with his hands behind his back, adopting an official air and speaking with displeasure.

"This is not your project!"

"Do you understand that you were the first to break the rules?"

"Where are the project, approval, notification, and documents?"

These words left Xu Qingyi and the others speechless.

Lin Yifeng was primarily in charge of the school's establishment, and any documents or other materials that came down were all reviewed by him.

However, Lin Yifeng didn't have any documents at all.

After all, the university town plan mentioned above hasn't gone through the approval process yet; it will take at least another week or two before Yan Bingshan and his team can produce anything after the conference.

The only certainty is that the provinces and states involved in this plan have been determined, but the specific project leaders have not yet been announced within the province, and the participating districts within the province are still pending.

This is the official statement. In reality, everyone inside already knows which schools have participated in the plan and can begin preparations in advance.

As for the person in charge, Yan Bingshan and his team took into consideration that Lin Yifeng was still very young and did not announce it for the time being. Otherwise, when all the campuses of all sizes in the province came to Lin Yifeng, he would be busy for a long time.

When the group from Shangdu saw that Director Lu had taken the lead in applying pressure, everyone raised their heads and pointed.

"These are all violations."

"Director Lu is right. The main problem is that if something goes wrong with this project, and the central government investigates, we'll all be finished."

"These young people nowadays are so impatient; they don't even know how to follow the proper procedures."

The words of the people around them clearly revealed the purpose of their visit.

Let's go through the procedures!

There are two types of procedures involved: a public procedure and a private procedure.

If you go through both of these processes, you'll be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort when you're working on the project.

But if you don't do it right, then there could be big problems.

With minor issues every three days and major issues every five days, various cumbersome departments will come knocking on your door, making it impossible for your basic project to proceed normally for several days.

Costs such as labor, materials, and renting large machinery all require money.

Ultimately, this pressure fell on the construction team, who couldn't afford to waste time with you.

To put it bluntly, this group of people are just here to ask for money.

Without the money, Lin Yifeng and his team can forget about starting construction ahead of schedule.

Lin Yifeng also felt a headache coming on from the stupidity of these people.

He's already started work ahead of schedule, so why would he be afraid of these things?

"So, Director Lu, what about this matter?"

Lin Yifeng also tested the waters.

He decided that if the other party asked for money, he would just give them a little to appease them.

It saves me from bothering others.

Director Lu glared at Lin Yifeng, giving him no friendly look whatsoever.

Do you know that you're committing a crime?

"If you keep acting like this, we can take you back anytime!"

"Fine, you can come with us first."

"As the person in charge, you have to give an explanation for this."

After speaking, Director Lu waved to someone behind him.

The group of uncles in the hats in Shangdu also looked troubled, not knowing what to do.

When Xu Qingyi saw that the other side was about to grab Lin Yifeng, she panicked and turned around to grab a shovel.

On the contrary, Ye Wu was delighted when he saw that the other side was about to make a move to arrest someone.

He first stopped Xu Qingyi, then nodded to his colleagues across the table.

Only then did the man in the hat across the street step forward.

Seeing that the other side wanted him to go back with them, Lin Yifeng naturally didn't back down and obediently followed them.

Lin Yifeng left first in a police car, while the remaining group of people from the shopping mall continued to count how many violations Lin Yifeng and his group had that required fines.

After the morning's statistics were completed, Director Lu was grinning from ear to ear.

In total, including Lin Yifeng's violations, he should be fined at least two million yuan from these construction teams.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yifeng doesn't even need to pay any money to bribe anyone. As long as he follows the proper procedures, he can still be fined to the point of exhaustion.

After seeing off the group from Shangdu...

Several campus leaders came to Zhao Youming's side, their eyes filled with worry.

"What should we do, Minister Zhao?"

Zhao Youming also had a headache and looked back at Ye Wuzheng.

After all, Ye Wuzheng was there just now. If he had stopped them, the other side definitely wouldn't have been able to take Lin Yifeng away.

Seeing everyone's distressed expressions, Ye Wu comforted them.

"Everyone, take a good rest today. We can start construction tomorrow."

"You don't need to worry about Young Master Lin's matter."

"They'll probably have to obediently send it back to him tonight."

Although Xu Qingyi was still somewhat worried, he felt embarrassed to say anything more after Ye Wuzheng had already said so.

Before leaving, Ye Wuzheng specifically instructed Zhao Youming that Ma Ning and Zhang Guochen must not find out about this matter.

Both of them are naturally straightforward.

Until this incident, it was estimated that they rushed to the police station in less than two hours to bring Lin Yifeng back.

Meanwhile, on the other side...
