"What do you mean by 'still in preparation'? You mean we can acquire the mine first, but the factory is entirely up to the foreign investors?"
"They say we should build whatever they want, and they say whatever scale we want it to be, so we build whatever scale we want it to be?"
"Is this really the case? I find it hard to believe that you are completely reasonable and legal, and that you are doing all this for the sake of the city's overall economy."
"If you really want to consider the overall economy, you shouldn't have given up the mine to him before you even reached an agreement. What if he takes over the mine and just builds two small workshops to appease you? What are you going to do then?"
"Besides, didn't you say that company is a well-established mining enterprise? How come it also has a clothing and food factory? These are completely unrelated!"
Wang Shan's barrage of questions left Xiahou sweating profusely; his mind was nearly blank.
"Boss, I've known them for many years. They wouldn't do that. Besides, although they are a professional mining company, they are currently undergoing transformation and are fully qualified," Xiahou said, trying his best to cover up his misunderstanding.
"Have you known me for many years?" Wang Shan didn't listen to what he said after that, but instead squinted and repeated those four words.
When Wang Shan uttered those four words, Xiahou was greatly alarmed. He subconsciously lowered his head, trying his best to hide his expression, not wanting to appear any different.
He was now filled with deep regret. He had been so focused on making amends that he had completely forgotten about this other matter!
"You mean you actually knew this company a long time ago, but why didn't you say so before?" Wang Shan asked in a low voice, his words filled with a dangerous undertone.
This incredibly powerful aura caused not only Xiahou, who was directly facing him, but also the leaders who were standing behind him to break out in a cold sweat. They were all incredibly grateful that the person sitting opposite them was not themselves.
Xiahou took a deep breath, bracing himself against the pressure, and forced a smile.
"We don't really know each other, we just had some understanding of each other, so I didn't mention it before."
To withstand this pressure and still be able to speak, Xiahou is undoubtedly a remarkable person.
If it were the leaders behind him, they would probably have already knelt down in utter panic, and wouldn't have been able to continue answering.
"You should know how serious it is to conceal your relationship in this matter. You gave the mine to them, and there's still no definite news about how it will boost the economy."
“You don’t even know the plan? I find it hard to believe you’re completely innocent in this matter.” Wang Shan put down the receipt and gave him a cold glance.
"Boss, I was indeed negligent in this matter. It was my fault. I will urge them to do so as soon as I get back." Xiahou nodded hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Shan merely gave him a look and then ignored him.
"Young comrade, we will give you an explanation for this matter, don't worry," Wang Shan said to Chen Feng.
"Thank you for your trouble, leader. By the way, leader, what do you think of this two-story house I built? There are other people in our village who want to build one too. Why don't you come and visit the second floor and give me some pointers?"
“If there are no problems, I’ll let them continue building,” Chen Feng said, standing up and inviting Wang Shan to speak.
“Great, I’m so happy to see that you all live in such nice houses. I hope you can inspire other villagers to live in houses like this too.” Wang Shan said with satisfaction as he looked at the house, and then followed him up to the second floor.
Everyone else wisely waited downstairs; no one dared to go up unless they gave the order.
“Look, leader, we didn’t have these large floor-to-ceiling windows in our village before. I want to bring some of the city’s construction plans to the village so that everyone can enjoy this new concept.”
"Yes, it's spacious and bright, but we need to be careful. Children in the village are generally much more active than those in the city, which can be a bit dangerous."
"Yes, sir. I will pay attention to this in the future. Please take a look at my bedroom."
The voices of two people could be heard clearly from upstairs.
"Distinguished leaders, please have some tea. It's just that the tea isn't very good, please bear with me." Chen Jianguo held up a teacup and offered tea to the leaders.
"Oh, thank you, no need to go to so much trouble, you have to bring it over, we can take it ourselves."
"Thank you, you don't need to worry about us, you just go about your business, haha."
The leaders accepted the teacups and began to speak with smiles.
Chen Jianguo had dealt with leaders before, but those leaders were far less powerful than these new ones. In fact, any one of these new leaders could easily outshine the leaders he had known before.
However, the leaders he had met before were far more difficult to deal with than these. This was the first time he had ever felt that a leader could be so easygoing, even excessively so.
Upstairs, Chen Feng pulled Wang Shan into his bedroom and turned to close the door.
The house is very soundproof, so you don't have to worry about being overheard by others.
As soon as he closed the door, Chen Feng grinned, and Wang Shan pointed at him and chuckled as well.
"Brother, I didn't expect to run into you here," Chen Feng said softly.
"Don't try that with me, kid. You probably already knew I was coming, didn't you?" Wang Shan snorted.
As soon as Wang Shan saw him, and recalling what Xiahou had told him, he immediately understood what was going on.
He could even vaguely guess what was going on with the piles of ore outside.
"There's nothing I can do. You tell me, it's not easy for you to get a mine, and Xiahou even snatched it away. I was thinking of just accepting my fate, but then you showed up."
"Isn't that a coincidence?" Chen Feng grinned.
After Chen Feng finished speaking, before Wang Shan could reply, he took out an exquisite box and handed it to Wang Shan.
"Brother, this is a little gift I specially prepared for you when I heard you were coming. See if you like it."
When Wang Shan saw the box, a look of "I knew it" flashed in his eyes.
The pile of ore outside was actually taken by Chen Feng to find a gift for him.
He took the box, opened it, and saw the ore lying inside.
Reaching out to take out the ore, Wang Shan's expression immediately showed a hint of fondness, but he quickly withdrew it.
Wang Shan played with the piece of ore over and over, feeling satisfied.
It's a shame not to follow Chen Feng. All those outstanding people outside combined probably don't even have half the brains of Chen Feng.
Moreover, despite being a commoner, he managed to negotiate with Xiahou for so long, dragging things out until Xiahou arrived, and Xiahou couldn't do anything about him at all.
He really likes Chen Feng; he's quite good.
"Hey kid, with so many people downstairs, how am I supposed to put this thing in my pocket?"
"Keep it for now, give it to me when you have the chance." Wang Shan reluctantly put the ore back into the box and returned it to Chen Feng.
