[Besides, Ye Lin really knows how to cause trouble. Why would an old man bother with him?]

[The host successfully dissed the opponent; charm points increased by one.]

"What else could it be?" Zhao Meng'er said after taking a sip of water. "Putting aside the old man's matter, just look at that guy named Ye Lin. His clothes and appearance are not suitable for going in. Isn't it normal for him to be blocked at the door?"

Luo Chen couldn't refute those words.

Didn't you notice he usually wears a suit? Only the main character likes to be so casual.

"And then what happened?"

"And then?" Zhao Meng'er looked at Luo Chen: "What else happened? They started arguing, and they argued fiercely. Ling Tianba's face turned black. I don't know if it was because the authorities didn't give him face, or because Ye Lin made him feel ashamed. I think it was the latter."

"..."

This seems to fit Ye Lin's personality quite well.

"And you know what? We watched them argue, and by the end, our ears were sore from listening. Do you know what happened after that?"

Luo Chen shook his head and took a sip of water.

Zhao Meng'er chuckled, seemingly finding the image hilarious: "That guy named Ye Lin was just carried away and thrown out."

"puff!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen sprayed the air into the passageway to the side.

[This is suffocating! Good heavens, a dignified Dragon King, not only did he lose an argument, but he was also thrown out! Anyone who knows his identity will laugh for three years to come.]

"Hahaha, that's hilarious. You have no idea how many people were watching. Ye Lin's face turned black. He wanted to make a move, but he was surrounded by a group of people and could only leave resentfully in the end."

Zhao Meng'er laughed for most of the day, but luckily she was very restrained, otherwise many people would have stared at her.

After Zhao Meng'er stopped laughing, she looked at Luo Chen with disappointment: "What a pity, you probably can't guess who the biggest winner is this time."

Indeed, Ye Lin has been thrown out, the plot has deviated, so the biggest winner is probably someone else.

"Could it be one of the other three major families?" Luo Chen asked.

Seeing Zhao Meng'er like this, it's obvious that it's not the Luo family or the Zhao family. So it's easy to guess that it's one of the other three families. In terms of strength, apart from the Luo family, these three families are the strongest.

"no."

Zhao Meng'er shook her head in disappointment: "It's not one of the other three major families, but a small family you would never even imagine."

[What the heck? The small family actually became the biggest winner?]

[Who's that awesome!]

"Have you heard of the Wang family? They're the Wang family that's ranked as a third-rate family."

Luo Chen shook his head first. He was facing either the other three major families or second-rate families. Third-rate families had nothing to do with him, so why would he care?

But then, as if remembering something, Luo Chen said uncertainly, "You don't mean Wang Gang's family, do you?"

"Huh, you know?" Zhao Meng'er was stunned, then looked at Luo Chen with a suspicious look and asked, "It's Wang Gang's family, but you weren't here, how do you know?"

"Forehead……"

[I'm too embarrassed to say, but I guess I met Wang Gang somewhere through some random social gathering.]

Zhao Meng'er was shocked.

How could she not know that Luo Chen, the eldest son of the prestigious Luo family, would attend a matchmaking event? Besides, is Luo Chen someone who needs to attend matchmaking events?

With a wave of his hand, the girls who like Luo Chen could line up from the East District all the way to the West District.

Besides, wasn't Luo Chen just pretending to like Fang Xue for the sake of his persona? Why would he go to a matchmaking event?

Could it be that the girls at the social event are prettier than her?

But Luo Chen said he went to the social gathering for no reason, which means it wasn't his intention.

What exactly happened?

However, Luo Chen showed no intention of speaking.

Zhao Meng'er pursed her lips and continued, "Yeah, we also found it very strange. There were clearly ten projects, but it became nine. Only the mountain development project in the North District was assigned to the Wang family. Until the end, no one knew what was going on."

Zhao Meng'er had initially thought that with the information provided by Luo Chen, she would be able to secure the project, but an unexpected incident occurred, and she still couldn't figure out what had happened.

Why was such a highly profitable project given exclusively to the Wang family? Is there some unspeakable secret behind it?

Luo Chen couldn't figure it out either. Not only had the plot deviated from the plan, but the project had also ended up in the hands of the Wang family, and it was even a designated project. This was something that had never happened before.

In addition, there was what I overheard Cai Jingyi saying at the hospital earlier.

Wang Gang seems to have a close relationship with Ye Lin. Could this be Ye Lin's doing behind the scenes?

If that's the case, then this project will eventually end up in Ye Lin's hands.

[If it really is related to Ye Lin, then it makes sense. After all, the Wang family is just a small family. Developing a mountain in the northern district is no simple matter. The sheer amount of capital required is beyond the Wang family's capabilities. With their strength, they simply cannot operate such a project. Even if they had the project, it would ultimately be a failed project. If it really is Ye Lin doing it, then with the Dragon King Palace's funds, it naturally wouldn't be a problem. After all, Ye Lin used this thing to build his first territory in the country.]

Hearing Luo Chen say that, Zhao Meng'er's fear of Ye Lin deepened. If that were really the case, then Ye Lin was too terrifying.

Even though everyone had been thrown out, they still managed to leave behind a backup plan. But how did Ye Lin manage to get the higher-ups to specifically award this project to the Wang family?

While the Dragon King Palace may be a powerful force abroad, it is insignificant to the National Government. Where would Ye Lin get the influence to make them do this?

So, was this really caused by Ye Lin?

Zhao Meng'er couldn't understand...

Mayor's Office.

Fang Qishan looked at the documents. On his first day in office, he had to carefully review many things to avoid problems arising later without his knowledge.

Seeing this, Xiao Lan shook her head helplessly. Her husband always put his work first. Although he was also very family-oriented, he had to do his job and fulfill his responsibilities. Since he was given this position, he had to do what he could.

Xiao Lan brewed a cup of tea, walked over to Fang Qishan, and gently placed it on the table.

Although she wouldn't interfere in what her husband did, there was one thing that intrigued her: a very handsome young man had suddenly come to visit the night before last.

He made no attempt to conceal his appearance, openly displaying it so that the couple would remember it. Perhaps he disdained to do so, or perhaps he felt it was unnecessary.

They didn't recognize the young man and were curious about how he had found his way here and what his purpose was.
