Just as Xia Zhi was distracted, Hu Liansheng slapped her hard across the face.
At this point, Hu Liansheng had lost his senses, and the land had become a hot potato.
He just wanted to get rid of the money quickly and discreetly, collect it, and then run away.
Hu Liansheng glared with bloodshot eyes and roared with a ferocious expression, "Anyone who dares to block my path to wealth, I'll cripple them!"
Just then, his phone rang, and he was slightly taken aback by the unfamiliar number.
The other person had a gentle woman's voice: "Excuse me, are you Manager Hu Liansheng?"
Hu Liansheng's bones went numb, and his expression immediately changed, no longer the fierce and menacing look from before.
"Hehe... That's me! May I ask who you are...?"
"I am a senior assistant at Xinqing Industrial Co., Ltd. You can just call me Anna."
Hu Liansheng's eyes darted around, and he steadied himself before asking, "Anna? Oh, what can I do for you?"
Anna's laughter rang out like silver bells. She laughed for a while before speaking: "Manager Hu, are you kidding me? Don't you know why I'm here? What did you consult about a few days ago?"
"Could it be... that your CEO is interested in my land?"
"That's right."
Anna continued, "Manager Hu, both of my CEOs said that the Lu family is a prominent family in Yangcheng. Although they are not as powerful as the four major families, they are still very strong. I heard that they are currently developing a film and television city..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hu Liansheng grinned, his face crinkling with smiles. "This piece of land is right next to the film studio! Tell your esteemed CEO that buying this land is a sure thing!"
“Yes, sir.” Anna chuckled. “The CEO said he’d like to schedule a meeting with you! When would be a convenient time for you?”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but laugh.
You Huan was picking out her magazine photos when she glanced at her and clicked her tongue twice: "Oh dear, if this keeps up, there will be another person in the entertainment industry competing with me for my job!"
"No, no! It's all thanks to the voice changer."
Jiang Mianmian looked at her. You Huan seemed a bit off today. Usually such a career-minded person, she was now absent-minded when choosing photos.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mianmian nudged her with her elbow. "Is this just teenage angst?"
"you……"
You Huan already had big eyes, and this glare made her facial proportions appear even more unbalanced.
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore!" Jiang Mianmian took her arm. "Tell me the truth, are you thinking about Wen Jie?"
"It's not today," You Huan smiled. "Someone insisted on dragging me to Jiangzhou!"
"who?"
You Huan mentioned the name of a female celebrity, who is a close friend of hers in the entertainment industry.
Jiang Mianmian didn't understand why she was being dragged to Jiangzhou, so You Huan showed her their chat history:
"Sister, there's a small clinic in Jiangzhou that's amazing at plastic surgery, come with me!"
You Huan: "What? There are many ways to be beautiful. Can you please stop resorting to injections and surgery all the time? Besides, your face isn't that terrible!"
Female celebrity: "If I could be as outrageously beautiful as you, I wouldn't waste this money!"
You Huan: "I said, what good plastic surgeons can you find in such a small place? Don't ruin your promising future by causing yourself all sorts of problems!"
Female celebrity: "No, no! It's just that it's a small place to avoid being photographed! Besides, I heard that the Lu family's daughter had her surgery done there!"
"What?"
The chat history ended abruptly there, and Jiang Mianmian was dumbfounded when she saw it.
"Is the Lu family's heiress she mentioned... me?"
"Could it be me?" You Huan stared with innocent eyes, then worriedly grasped her hand. "Mianmian, what's going on? Could it be that someone is using your name to get you to do free advertising? This is an infringement of your name and image rights; you can pursue legal action!"
Jiang Mianmian looked at her quietly, then burst out laughing after a while.
You Huan asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Mianmian replied, "It seems you've been studying law quite a bit lately!"
You Huan's face flushed red instantly.
"This...this is about your business, why are you dragging me into this?"
Jiang Mianmian smiled without saying a word.
It is said that Huo Junyu asked Wen Jie the same question and received the same answer.
Even outsiders can see that they are mutually attracted to each other.
Only the two people involved had the words "I like you" sealed away, preferring to suffocate rather than say them.
"Fine, if I don't want to say, I won't." Jiang Mianmian sighed with a smile. Time will tell.
“Ahem,” she cleared her throat, “Since this matter concerns me, I must also make a trip to Jiangzhou.”
“Hmm,” You Huan thought for a moment and nodded, “I’ll go with you!”
After saying that, she quickly notified Jackie to adjust the schedule.
Because her foot injury hasn't fully healed, she still needs to carry her medication with her.
Jiang Mianmian felt a warmth in her heart, hugged her, and laughed, "So I'm that important to you! If someone were to photograph you going to a plastic surgery clinic, that would be explosive news!"
"I'm not afraid." You Huan smiled like a little fox and gently patted her face. "No matter what news I make, your mother-in-law has to cover for me!"
"Oh, so you've got your eye on Aunt Jiang?"
"What, you're now siding with your in-laws instead of me? It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home!"
Jiang Mianmian pinched her arm, and the two started playfully fighting.
Two days later, they began their trip to Jiangzhou. They planned to drive themselves, since two of the three were big stars, and driving would offer a higher level of privacy.
Huo Junyu verbally agreed to let her go by herself, but in reality, he followed her at a distance in his car. When he was discovered, he still argued that he was going out on business and this was the only way he could take!
Meanwhile, in the other lane...
Wen Jie's G-Class was practically bouncing up; he seemed incredibly excited.
Two men each occupied one lane, while the middle lane was occupied by You Huan's "newly repaired" nanny van.
As for the driver, no one but Jackie could take on this important task.
So in the van, the three girls each wore headphones and earphones, some watching TV series and others sleeping.
Only Jackie drove with a look of utter despair.
Huo Junyu is on his left, and Wen Jie is on his right; he has protectors on both sides.
Even this seasoned driver with over a decade of experience finds his hands trembling involuntarily as he grips the steering wheel.
