Chen Zhe and Hu Ling returned to Linglong Club.
Back at the company, Hu Ling seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened and took the initiative to ask Chen Zhe about the scenic park.
Chen Zhe explained the situation.
The development of Lijing Park has been halted. Now, the Gu family, the Li family, the Zhang family, and other building materials companies are all stuck with a lot of materials, which is seriously hindering their cash flow.
They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, as the fact that something that seemed certain could be delayed caught them completely off guard.
Chen Zhe's idea was to take advantage of this situation to make some progress.
His plan was this: their materials were probably piling up and they couldn't use them all. Chen Zhe wanted to borrow these materials from them, pay them interest during the lease period, and then sell them at a low price on the market to drive down the price of the materials. After the whole market panicked and the price dropped rapidly, he would use a small amount of money to buy the materials back and return them to them.
Chen Zhe's plan received Hu Ling's support, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Okay, let's do it this way. I'll arrange for professionals to assist you in the futures market. Go ahead and do it with confidence."
"Thank you, Sister Hu. I'll head back now..."
"Wait a moment!"
"Is there anything else, Sister Hu?"
Chen Zhe asked somewhat nervously.
Hu Ling crossed her arms and looked at him; "You must remember what I just told you. If you dare to divulge even a single word, you know the consequences."
Faced with Hu Ling's renewed threat, Chen Zhe once again vowed that he would not reveal the matter.
...
On the way back to Linglong Club in the North District, Gu Jingping's phone kept ringing.
"Manager Chen, do you have any updates on the Lijing Park development project? When will it be able to resume?"
Gu Jingping sounded very anxious on the other end of the phone.
He was naturally anxious. He had strongly advocated for this project, but now development was halted, all the materials were piling up in the warehouse, and money was being burned every minute. Their cash flow was also in trouble because of this.
After hearing the news, their clients came one after another demanding payment. Gu Jingping's head was about to explode from dealing with those clients these past two days.
Therefore, he urgently needs to know the current state of development of Lijing Park.
Should we proceed or not?
"Young Master Gu, the development of Lijing Park will still proceed, but it is currently being hindered by the ancient tomb complex, so it won't be as fast as it could be right now."
"Damn ancient tomb! It's the death of me! Manager Chen, do you even know the exact start date of this project?"
"I'm not sure either... How about this, I'll call and ask for you."
"Okay, thank you!"
Gu Jingping expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Chen Zhe didn't make any calls; he simply waited ten minutes before calling Gu Jingping again.
"Young Master Gu, I've made several calls for you, but there's still no definite time. It seems the higher-ups haven't finalized it yet..."
"What are we going to do? Isn't this just setting us up? They were the ones who told us to prepare the materials in advance, and now that we've prepared them, they're saying the project is off. Those officials are all talk and no action!"
"Young Master Gu, please don't get agitated. I've been keeping an eye on this matter too. Are you free tonight? Come over to our club to relax and clear your head."
The other party hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
"Okay! I'll go there tonight."
After ending the call with Gu Jingping, Chen Zhe called Wu Yuanyuan again.
"Get Li Tianci and Zhang Yuan to come over tonight."
Wu Yuanyuan on the other end of the phone didn't ask too many questions.
"Okay, manager, what time?"
"Around 9 pm."
"Okay, I understand."
Wu Yuanyuan is very efficient. She has only recently become the deputy manager, and she works with great energy and enthusiasm, making her very useful.
Chen Zhe made several more phone calls to arrange some things before he could drive back home with peace of mind.
...
9:40 PM.
Li Tianci and Zhang Yuan arrived at Linglong Club one after the other. Both families were in a great hurry because of the material problem, but they still gave Wu Yuanyuan face.
When Chen Zhe returned, he had already spoken to Wu Yuanyuan about some things, so he was the one to go and inform Li Tianci and Zhang Yuan first, to lay the groundwork.
Wu Yuanyuan first went to Li Tianci's room.
"Brother Li, are you satisfied with the girl we arranged for you?"
Li Tianci gave a wry smile.
"I still think you're better. Why don't you stay and stay with me tonight..."
Li Tianci held Wu Yuanyuan's hand, looking at her expectantly.
He just couldn't win this woman over. At first, it was his competitive spirit that got in the way, but in the end, he really started to fall for her.
What you can't have is always the best, and it's always the most captivating. Wu Yuanyuan understands this well.
She gently pulled her hand away from Li Tianci's and looked at him with a smile; "Brother Li, I see some weariness in your eyes. Is something on your mind lately?"
At this point, Li Tianci seemed to have opened a floodgate of words.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. There are some things at the company that, although they're not my responsibility, still affect me."
"You can tell me what's wrong, I can keep you company..."
"Yuanyuan is so considerate..."
Taking the opportunity, Li Tianci grabbed Wu Yuanyuan's hand again and began to speak...
After talking for a while, when the time was right, Wu Yuanyuan suddenly said, "Brother Li, maybe I can really help you."
"Huh? What?"
"It's about materials, isn't that what you were worried about earlier?"
Li Tianci was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yuanyuan, don't be silly. How could you possibly help me? You have no idea how much money is in here. It's an astronomical sum for you."
“Brother Li, I know a client who seems to be in the same line of work as you. Yesterday I overheard him talking to my manager about the Lijing Park project, which should be related to your business.”
"Sigh, it's not surprising that a lot of people in Donghai City are talking about this right now..."
“It’s different. That person said he can handle those materials. Do you want me to introduce you to him?”
Li Tianci hesitated for a moment.
"Forget it, we still need these materials. We don't know when Lijing Park will be redeveloped. It might be redeveloped soon. We can't sell the materials now."
"Yes, I understand. I just saw that you were feeling down and couldn't bear to see you so upset."
"Yuanyuan is so considerate..."
Li Tianci took the opportunity to touch Wu Yuanyuan's hand again.
At that moment, Wu Yuanyuan's walkie-talkie rang.
"Yuanyuan, come to the tea room for a moment, a guest needs your service."
"Okay, manager, I'll be right there."
After hanging up, Wu Yuanyuan wanted to leave, and Li Tianci was taken aback.
"Yuanyuan, what does this mean? Aren't you a manager now? Why do we still need you to serve us?"
"Oh, it's like this. My manager is talking to the person I just mentioned. I'm good at making tea, so they asked me to go and serve them."
"Oh...I see...then...can I go with you to take a look? I want to see that person too."
"Huh? Brother Li, didn't you just say you weren't interested in selling materials?"
Wu Yuanyuan pretended to be surprised.
"Oh well, I'll just go over and listen to what they're talking about. I'm bored after I just finished my service anyway."
"Okay, sure!"
