Director Ma waved his hand dismissively.

"Back in the day, what kind of place was my Cultural Palace?"

“When provincial leaders come down to the city, they all have to take a stroll around the Cultural Palace.”

"Putting everything else aside, the value of this piece of land alone is already worth one million, so adding another two million is perfectly reasonable."

Director Liu shook his head with a wry smile, picked up his glass to take another sip of the old Moutai, and asked in a low voice.

Who is it?

"I'm still thinking about buying your land."

Director Ma laughed when he heard this, his tone full of disdain.

"Two young lads."

"Someone named Dong something."

"The other one is quite young."

Director Liu, who was just about to drink, froze completely. Even the hand holding the wine glass trembled involuntarily, and half of the small wine glass immediately spilled.

He turned to look at Director Ma with an incredulous expression, then whispered tentatively.

"Two young people?"

"One of them was a young man with a buzz cut, who looked to be in his early twenties."

Director Ma nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"It seems like he owns a supermarket."

"What are you calling Fatty Donglai!"

Director Liu suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and although he held his wine glass in his hand, he couldn't drink a single drop.

He stared intently at Director Ma and asked again.

"You asked them for three million, what was their reaction?"

"What other reaction could there be? They think it's too expensive."

Director Ma shrugged dismissively, continuing to shout.

"Everyone thinks my Cultural Palace is some kind of shabby place."

"Once the cultural troupe deal is finalized, and they want to buy it again for three million next year, I'm not selling it!"

"They're really a bunch of country bumpkins; they've never seen what the city is like."

Looking at Director Ma's attitude, Director Liu was now 100% certain that the old man had encountered Lin Yifeng.

Moreover, judging from his demeanor, he has most likely offended Lin Yifeng.

Director Liu had no idea that Pang Donglai was going to open a branch in Shangdu.

Although he didn't understand why Pang Donglai had such a big reputation in Muye City, and why the city leaders paid so much attention to Lin Yifeng.

But he knew very well that Lin Yifeng's Mixue Ice Cream shop was already selling like hotcakes at the train station.

The revenue and taxes brought by Mixue Ice Cream alone brought many people in the tax bureau closer to him, the person in charge of the railway.

It can be said that Lin Yifeng indirectly helped him within the industry, and he also benefited from Lin Yifeng's influence.

Upon hearing that Director Ma had offended Lin Yifeng, Director Liu dared not drink a drop of alcohol.

He was initially drunk, but suddenly became much more sober.

He placed the wine glass on the table, picked up two cucumbers, and cautiously probed them, as if trying to grasp at the last hope.

"You didn't offend them, did you?"

"Ugh, they have to be mindful of my attitude!"

Director Ma stood tall and proud, beaming with pride.

At this point, Director Liu was completely heartbroken.

It’s over! It’s over!

This stupid old man has offended the God of Wealth of Shangdu.

The fate of the last person who offended Lin Yifeng is still fresh in everyone's mind.

Director Liu didn't want to become the second person, so he immediately started packing his things and hurriedly spoke to Director Ma beside him.

"Old Ma, I have some things to take care of at home."

"I'll go back first."

"I'll probably be busy these days, I'll contact you when I'm done."

Director Ma was slightly taken aback by Director Liu's hurried appearance.

"Director Liu, what's going on?"

"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about me."

"What about the cultural troupe?"

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as I have the results."

Without giving Director Ma a chance to continue his polite conversation, Director Liu turned around and headed downstairs, afraid that if he were even a step too late, he would lose all ties with this guy.

Soon, only Director Ma was left in the room during the entire mealtime, completely bewildered and unsure of what to do.

Two days later.

The local newspaper in Shangdu also published the news.

The railway bureau partnered with Shangdu Gymnasium to create the Shangdu Railway Workers Cultural Troupe.

When this news came out, Director Ma was dumbfounded.

We agreed to cooperate, we even had drinks and a meal, but he hasn't done anything about it.

Enraged, Director Ma tore the newspaper to shreds and began cursing loudly inside the room.

He immediately called the railway bureau, wanting to question Director Liu about the situation.

Unfortunately, as soon as the person on the other end of the phone heard that it was Director Ma, he immediately used the excuse that Director Liu was in a meeting and that he would call him back later.

And so, Director Ma waited all afternoon, but Director Liu's call never came.

In the following days, no matter how Director Ma tried to contact Director Liu, the guy seemed to have vanished into thin air and could not be found at all.

What left Director Ma speechless was that he originally had another project that could have been a collaboration.

As a result, after that night, many people canceled their cooperation with him, and the huge cultural palace immediately lost all its business.

Only Director Ma was left standing there, completely bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side...

With May fast approaching, Lin Yifeng was preparing for the first quarterly conference in Makino City.

Representatives and owners from various companies, including Wallace, Pang Donglai, Mixue Ice Cream, and even Lin Yifeng's "Minsheng Daily," were invited to Makino City.

Lin Yifeng had been prepared for this for a long time.

Wallace plans to hold a meeting every quarter of the year, with the final year-end meeting being the annual meeting.
