"President Luo, we're not going to form a joint venture for the project in Xicheng District right now. Should we contact the Ningcheng government directly and take over the entire project?"

Chen Jian stood up again, regained his confidence, and proposed to destroy the Luo Group.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen immediately perked up.

Yes, why not just take over the entire West District project? The plot might be a bit off-track, but it won't really matter. At most, the main character will earn a little less.

"That's a good suggestion. Do you have any proposals?"

[You idiot. Well done! You truly deserve to be my Phoenix Chick, a talent of the Luo family. With you here, how can the Luo family not prosper?]

[How come I didn't think of that? The reason the project in the West District was given to Tianhai Company was because the people from above were coming to replace them. Ye Lin wanted to prevent certain things from being exposed, so he thought of using Tianhai Company to drag down the Luo family and take away a large sum of money from them. But in reality, giving it to Tianhai Company is not much different from giving it to those guys in Ningcheng. They are all Ye Lin's people.]

[Give them a generous sum, secure the entire West District project, and cover all expenses. If the Luo family suffers a financial loss, Ye Lin will have achieved his goal.]

[And my storyline can continue smoothly. Anyway, nobody knows that in a few days, the Ningcheng government will change leadership, the West District's economic development project will be scrapped, and the West District will be chosen instead, with those hills in the North District. I'm afraid those who initially envied the Luo family for making so much money will be gloating.]

[This is also one of the exciting parts of the book. To highlight the protagonist's scheming and to strike at the Luo family, the book keeps the Luo family entangled in the West District, unable to extricate themselves, while the protagonist can use the Luo family's money to take over the North District, making it an economic zone.]

Ye Lin made a fortune, laughing at the Luo family for continuing to throw money away in the dilapidated West District.

[There's nothing we can do. The contract was signed by the previous group and is still valid. The next group can disregard it, but not the Luo family.]

[This is also the beginning of the Luo family's decline. You idiot, you really are a genius!]

What!

The Ningcheng officials are actually Ye Lin's people?

Moreover, the West District project will be scrapped and replaced with those hills in the North District.

That area isn't a conservation mountain; it can't be cultivated. How could it possibly be used as an economic zone?

What exactly happened?

Zhao Meng'er wanted to find out the reason.

Chen Jian spoke up at this moment.

"President Luo, I suggest we first investigate the interests of Tianhai Company and their interests, and then make a detailed plan. With the capital of our Luo Group, I believe the Ningcheng government will naturally choose us."

I thought Chen Jian would say something, but this is what happened.

[Investigate my foot! Investigating just Tianhai Company is giving me a headache, and you dare to investigate the Ningcheng government? It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm afraid if you figure out the relationships between them, I won't be able to take action.]

[They only have a few days left to enjoy themselves. If you investigate like this, won't you find out the Xicheng District project is cancelled? How am I supposed to follow the plot then? You idiot, you've disappointed me so much.]

[The conservation hill in the North District is no longer being protected. Everything that was supposed to be taken has been taken, and everything that was supposed to be relocated has been relocated. It's just an ordinary hill now. The protagonist is using this thing to enter the domestic market, and you're doing this? No way, you have to stop him.]

"No need. With our Luo Group, do we need to care about their relationship?" Luo Chen said coldly.

Chen Jian was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound.

Luo Chen continued, "Tianhai Company is nothing; my Luo family can destroy it with a flick of our finger. Although Tianhai Company has done many things behind the scenes that harm others without benefiting itself, it's still no big deal. You can take people directly to the Ningcheng government to explain the cooperation; they will be happy to discuss it with us."

Luo Chen's words were very domineering, and the Luo Group certainly had the capital to back it up. Chen Jian agreed.

In terms of capital, Tianhai Company is no match for Luo's Group. If they go directly to negotiate, the Ningcheng government will still have to give face to Luo's Group.

Although the project is in the hands of Tianhai Company, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Luo. I'll have someone take care of it in a bit."

[Haha, that idiot is still my loyal subject after all. No need for much explanation, just a few words will suffice. Hurry up and take your men there. They'll probably agree as soon as you ask, after all, the ultimate target is the Luo family...]

"Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Tonight's celebration is canceled. I'll lead the celebration after you successfully win the bid."

After saying that, Luo Chen stood up and left happily.

Today's meeting exhausted him with all sorts of unexpected situations, but thankfully he managed to salvage the situation.

When I get back to the office, I'll have to open a glass of red wine to celebrate.

Although it was strange that Zhao Meng'er hadn't said a word, Luo Chen didn't care. Anyway, the matter was settled, and as long as Zhao Meng'er didn't cause trouble, Luo Chen could focus on the plot.

Seeing that Luo Chen had left, the others also prepared to leave. At this moment, Zhao Meng'er, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

"etc."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Zhao Meng'er, wondering what she was up to.

Zhao Meng'er smiled and said calmly, "Sit down, everyone, let's continue the meeting."

Thanks to Chen Jian's loyalty, Luo Chen blurted it out before she could even try to get information out of him.

Now that she understands that the conservation hills in the North District are ready for reclamation, Zhao Meng'er has a plan in mind.

Besides, if she had spoken up to refute Luo Chen right then and there, who knows what other tricks Luo Chen might have up his sleeve. So Zhao Meng'er sat there like a good girl, not saying a word, and only made her presence known after Luo Chen left.

Although I really didn't want to continue the meeting, with Luo Chen gone, Zhao Meng'er was now the most important person here.

They dared not disobey Zhao Meng'er.

Zhao Meng'er didn't waste any words and looked directly at Chen Jian.

"Chen Jian, I request that you hand over the Xicheng District project to the Fang Group."

"What!"

What does Zhao Meng'er mean by this?

"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you...?" Chen Jian was dumbfounded.

Why give such a huge cake to the Fang Group instead of enjoying it ourselves?

Could it be that Zhao Meng'er wanted to help Luo Chen and signaled to Fang Xue?

They've done this kind of thing many times before, and the Fang Group has made a lot of money thanks to the Luo family.

Don't you understand what I mean?

Zhao Meng'er's aura suddenly intensified; with Luo Chen present and without him, Zhao Meng'er was a completely different person.

"Mr. Zhao, I..."

"Fine, let me explain again... I'm going to give the West District project to the Fang Group; the Luo family doesn't want it anymore."

"Mr. Zhao, aren't you being a bit frivolous?"

Everyone else agreed with Chen Jian's words. The West District project was just given away like that. Didn't Zhao Meng'er know how much profit the Luo family would make from it?

"You were guaranteeing the quality of Tianhai Company's products before, but after the investigation, who among you would dare to say such a thing?"

Zhao Meng'er brought up the matter again, and some people lowered their heads, feeling ashamed. Chen Jian even opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

"You're probably thinking, 'Am I out of my mind to give such a huge profit to the Fang Group?'"

The crowd remained silent.
