How about we have this meal today?

Zhao Shijie was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

He was going to talk to this group anyway.

"Buying and selling"

"Okay! That works too!"

"Then, Chairman Zhao, please go first."

Zhang Cheng gestured for them to proceed.

"Haha, then I won't be polite!"

Zhao Shijie strode ahead, and the group rushed towards the [Chaoyang Pavilion] private room.

Once the door is closed, the noise of the outside world is shut out.

The group had just taken their places in front of the enormous round table.

While Li Sansi and the others were still hesitating about where to sit, Zhang Cheng had already started walking.

He walked around half the table and sat down in the main seat very naturally.

His movements were fluid and graceful, as if that position was born for him.

"Whoosh!"

All eyes in the private room were on him.

The air was deathly silent.

Zhao Shijie's cheek muscles twitched almost imperceptibly, then he casually found a seat and sat down.

Li Sansi and other out-of-town businessmen had darted around, their hearts pounding with shock.

This sitting down is a declaration of war!

The cold dishes haven't been served yet.

Zhao Shijie broke the silence first, looking at Zhang Cheng with a forced smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I have some news that you'll definitely be interested in."

"oh?"

Zhang Cheng raised his head with great interest.

"The Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce has decided to unconditionally and fully support the Municipal Party Committee in building the industrial park."

Zhao Shijie spoke each word clearly, his voice not loud, yet it resounded like a thunderclap in the private room.

The expressions on the faces of all the out-of-town businessmen changed instantly.

support?

That sounds nice, but the subtext is that the Jiaxing gang wants this project!

Li Sansi panicked and blurted out:

"Chairman Zhao, this project belongs to Boss Zhang..."

"So what?"

Zhao Shijie coldly interrupted him.

"As locals, we should naturally contribute our money and effort to building Jiaxing!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Cheng provocatively, trying to see a hint of panic or anger on the other's face.

But he was disappointed.

Zhang Cheng was not angry at all; instead, his smile became even brighter and more sincere.

"President Zhao."

Zhang Cheng clapped his hands, and the crisp applause echoed in the private room.

"Those words really resonated with me."

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife, sweeping over every local businessman present.

"As for the development of Jiaxing, you Jiaxing businessmen should have contributed money and effort long ago!"

"To put it bluntly, Jiaxing has developed for so many years and is ranked among the top in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, but what has been the result?"

Zhang Cheng's voice suddenly rose, carrying a sharp questioning tone.

"Do you really have to wait until I, an outsider, come to your territory and help you with construction before you realize what's going on?"

"If I were a leader in Jiaxing City, seeing you like this, my heart would have turned cold long ago!"

His lips curled slightly upward, forming a mocking arc, and each word he uttered was piercing to the heart.

"To say you're unqualified is to give you too much credit."
