Chapter 40: Building Connections?



"Connections? Fine, I'll show you what connections really are right now." Ye Xingchen sneered, picked up his phone and made a call: "Qin Wu, I'm at Pengmanlou in Beihuan, come over here."

"Okay, I happen to be there too, Mr. Ye, please wait a moment." Qin Wu didn't dare to delay and rushed over after hanging up the phone.

"Oh, who are you calling? Your coworker?" Liu Zhen asked with a mocking smile.

"Qin Wu from Sihai Group, he'll be here shortly," Ye Xingchen said calmly.

"You called Fifth Master? You know him?" Liu Zhen laughed loudly, "Don't be ridiculous. What kind of person is Fifth Master? How could he know a country bumpkin like you?"

"Besides, who do you think Fifth Master is? Does he think he can just come running over whenever someone calls?"

"Mr. Ye."

As soon as the door opened, Qin Wu hurriedly walked in and said respectfully, "What can I do for you?"

"Fifth, Fifth Master..." Liu Zhen stood up abruptly. He had seen Qin Wu at a banquet before, so he knew him.

“There are some troublemakers at No. 5 Middle School. Are they your men? If so, tell them to get lost,” Ye Xingchen said.

"Yes, yes, I'll verify it right away. Whoever it is, I guarantee they won't show up there again." Qin Wu nodded hurriedly.

"Also, my classmate said he's very close to you and often drinks with you. Do you two know each other?" Ye Xingchen pointed to Liu Zhen on the side.

Liu Zhen's face turned pale. He had just been bragging, and now he was about to be exposed.

“I don’t know him, Mr. Ye. There are too many people pretending to know me these days, so you must be careful. I’m discussing business in the next private room. Please feel free to call me if you need anything.” Qin Wu glanced at Liu Zhen.

"Okay, you can go now." Ye Xingchen nodded.

Qin Wu then respectfully withdrew, bowing throughout the process, as if Ye Xingchen were his big boss.

Liu Zhen's face was ashen, as if his father had just died. He said awkwardly, "Ye Xingchen, you, you know Fifth Master?"

"I know him, but he's not anyone special," Ye Xingchen said calmly.

Indeed, Qin Wu was unapproachable in the eyes of others, but in Ye Xingchen's eyes, he was just a little brother.

"Hey, Xingchen, you're really something. You can even get Fifth Master to do things for you. Let's add each other on WeChat. I work at a bank, so we can keep in touch." Wu Meiyue's mood changed faster than flipping through a book.

She immediately put on a smiling face and insisted on adding Ye Xingchen on WeChat using his phone.

"Teacher Liu, which piece of land did Jianning Real Estate acquire?" Ye Xingchen asked.

"Yes, Jianning Real Estate, it's managed by a guy named Wang Qiang, and they're operating illegally," Liu Chuanfu said indignantly.

"It's alright, Teacher Liu. I know Wang Qiang from Jianning well. I'll contact him right now," Liu Zhen said hurriedly, as he needed to win back a game.

"Wang Qiang is the new vice president of Jianning, right?" Ye Xingchen asked. "It seems he was promoted a year ago?"

“That’s right. President Wang is highly regarded by President Ning of Jianning Real Estate. He can handle this little matter quickly,” Liu Zhen said with a smile.

"You don't need to call anymore, you can't get through. Wang Qiang's project involved shoddy workmanship, which caused the building to tilt and crack. He has already been taken away by the police," Ye Xingchen said.

“Impossible. We were drinking together last week. I’ll call him right now.” Liu Zhen looked incredulous as he picked up his phone and dialed Wang Qiang’s number.

However, what awaited him was a cold, electronic voice prompting him to shut down.

"His phone is dead. I'll contact him later." Liu Zhen was anxious; he really knew Wang Qiang.

"No need to contact me anymore, I'll handle this." Ye Xingchen smiled and picked up his phone to call Ning Xin.

"Brother Ye, I was just looking for you! We made a fortune! We made a killing by taking over that place in Longhu Park, a huge fortune..." Ning Xin said excitedly as soon as the call connected.

Ye Xingchen threw 500 million yuan to Ning Xin, knowing that the area around Longhu Park would soon change, as it was now part of the new district's planning and the landmark was right in the middle.

The government has issued a notice, and everything has been put into action. Ning Xin just received the news.

"That's good. We'll talk about this later. Let me ask you, did your company acquire a piece of land near the Fifth Municipal Middle School?" Ye Xingchen asked.

“I’ll have to ask about that; there is a project in an urban village,” Ning Xin said.

“That piece of land occupies the playground and library of No. 5 Middle School, my alma mater. Do you think you can find a way to change the planning? You can build houses and make money, but don’t stick your hands on the school grounds,” Ye Xingchen said.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye, I'll take care of this right away. Let's meet up in a bit and have a good celebration," Ning Xin assured him, patting his chest.

"Alright, Teacher Liu, this matter is resolved," Ye Xingchen said with a smile, putting down his phone.

“This is no small matter. Changing the plan is not something that ordinary people can do. It requires approval from the company’s senior management.” Liu Zhen was outdone and looked unconvinced.

"Jianning Real Estate's Ningxin can set up the planning, right?" Ye Xingchen asked.

"Ning Xin? He, he's the young master of Jianning Real Estate, of course he can finalize things, could it be that you..." Liu Zhen was dumbfounded. Ye Xingchen had just called Ning Xin?

“That’s right, I know Ning Xin well, and he’ll take care of this for me right away.” Ye Xingchen said to Liu Chuanfu, “Teacher Liu, the demolition office will call by tomorrow at the latest.”

"Good, good, Xingchen, you're really amazing now. Your teacher was right about you back then." Liu Chuanfu was very happy: "I have to toast you with this cup."

"You're too kind, teacher. It's all I should do." Ye Xingchen picked up his glass, lowered it, and drank with Liu Chuanfu.

"Xingchen, you have such a wide network of connections now. How did you do it?" Liu Zhen's tone changed immediately.

“Yes, I knew our teacher Liu had good judgment and didn’t misjudge her,” Wu Meiyue complimented.

The two of them started singing in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Chen Peng was an honest man. He wanted to chime in, but he didn't know what to say, so he sat there feeling a little awkward.

"Chen Peng, is there something you need?" Ye Xingchen asked.

"Oh, Chen Peng, Liu Zhen really solved your problem. You didn't come empty-handed, did you? You should have brought some cigarettes and alcohol. Liu Zhen did the legwork for you, don't you need to give him some money?" Wu Meiyue rolled her eyes, looking down on Chen Peng.

"Liu Zhen, just tell me what you need. I went to the bureau before and tried to deliver things, but they didn't want them." Chen Peng rubbed his hands, looking a little nervous.

"Old classmate, don't be so formal." Liu Zhen immediately perked up again: "Don't worry, my cousin's second uncle's nephew works at the Lin'an branch of the Public Security Bureau. I'll definitely help you with your matter."

"Chen Peng, what's wrong?" Ye Xingchen asked.

"Sigh, it's a long story." Chen Peng gave a bitter smile: "I started a small logistics company, and I was cheated out of 300,000 yuan when I was negotiating a cooperation."

“The suspect has been caught and the money has been recovered, but the police station keeps making excuses about going through procedures. It's been almost half a year, and my business needs cash flow, otherwise I won't be able to survive. Liu Zhen has relatives there, so…”

"Lin'an Branch?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback. Wasn't that Liu Zhenye's branch? He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll call and ask. I have a friend there."

"Really? Thank you so much." Chen Peng's face lit up with joy.

"Ye Xingchen, do you know people in the department too?" Liu Zhen's tone was somewhat displeased. "Are you that resourceful?"
