Ji Zhinan put a lot of effort into making that list, and she recorded all the powerful and influential people on it. If what Xing Minggao said was true, and the other party was not an insignificant person, she would not have left them out.
"Did the person you contacted reveal their identity?" Ji Zhinan asked.
Xing Minggao shook his head decisively: "The person who contacted me was a subordinate named Bai Chuan, but he told me that his husband's surname is Gu."
“Gu…” Ji Zhinan murmured the surname.
From her memories of her past life to this one, she did not recall any family with the surname Gu being particularly powerful.
Xing Minggao had been a prominent figure in the business world for many years, but he had no recollection of this surname.
“I now suspect that the Gu family is an unknown family in the capital. If that’s the case, we have no choice but to give them the mining rights to this land.”
Anonymous in the capital, a mysterious group.
No one knew his surname, but he was a well-known figure in the upper echelons of Beijing's society because he was the undisputed ruler of the capital.
He owns fifty percent of the businesses in the entire capital, giving him control of half of the city's economy, which demonstrates his immense power.
“Zhi Nan.” Xing Minggao looked at Ji Zhi Nan with concern: “We can’t afford to offend the Nameless Ones. Sometimes power is all-powerful. Our company has suffered heavy losses before, and we can’t afford to go against the Nameless Ones. If the Gu family really belongs to the Nameless Ones, we have to give them that land even if it means losing a lot of money…”
"Heh." Ji Zhinan's lips curled up in a mocking smile: "I'm not picky about food, I'll eat anything, but I just don't like to suffer a loss."
“Uncle Xing, call back yourself and say exactly what he said: If you want the mining rights, then you have to fight for them with your own abilities.”
Xing Minggao trembled with fear at Ji Zhinan's arrogance.
It seems he's really getting old; he's not as energetic and daring as a young man.
The anonymous man was difficult to talk to, and Ji Zhinan in front of him was not someone to be trifled with either.
He could only nod reluctantly, "Okay."
…………
After leaving ZN, Ji Zhinan returned to the Ji family home.
As soon as I got home, I saw Grandpa Ji carrying a thermos, looking like he was about to go out.
Upon seeing Ji Zhinan return, the old man revealed a loving smile: "Nannan is back?"
Ji Zhinan nodded: "Grandpa."
"Perfect timing, you can accompany Grandpa to the hospital to visit your sister."
Ji Zhinan quickly took the thermos from the old man's hand and considerately helped him up, saying, "Grandpa, the servants can do these things, you don't need to do them yourself."
The old man strode toward the door: "Your dad had some trouble at his company and he's still not done with it. Your mom took the food she made to the company, so it's Grandpa's job to deliver the food to your sister."
If Ji Zhinan wasn't mistaken, the company was in trouble because of the Chengnan project.
Now, one piece of news after another is being released, and land prices in the south of the city are doubling. Ji Pengfei is filled with regret.
There was nothing he could do about his regrets. The project now belonged to ZN, and the contract had already been signed. All Ji Pengfei could do was smash his tea set and yell at his subordinates to vent his anger.
Hearing Ji Pengfei's agitated state, Ji Zhinan's mood improved.
"Then I'll go to the hospital with Grandpa to see my sister."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Ji smiled even more gently and lovingly: "Good child, Grandpa has not loved the wrong person."
On the way, Ji Zhinan considerately sat down next to the old man.
Looking at that familiar face, the old man was filled with emotion.
They look so alike, more and more alike. It's as if everything has gone back to more than twenty years ago, when I was still young, and they... were still here.
