Ming Haoyuan frowned and lowered his eyes, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
"Cousin, are you sure that person is trustworthy? We boasted to my dad that we were determined to win the bid. I... I'm too ashamed to face my family and friends back home."
Jiang Lirong smiled gently, "That person is definitely trustworthy. In Rongcheng, if you can't trust what she says, then there's no one you can trust."
Before the auction of Lingshan, Ning Lang made a phone call to him.
She didn't say much, sticking to her usual concise style: "Senior, give up on Lingshan, otherwise you'll suffer losses that outweigh the gains. If you trust me, then give up decisively."
He was stunned. Before he could ask why, she said, "No need to ask. You'll know the reason in a year or two. Also, I hope you'll adapt to the situation and try to raise the price as much as possible."
His mind was in turmoil. Trying to calm himself down, he responded with a soft "Mm".
She then hung up the phone, leaving only the beeping sound.
A brief phone call lasting only a dozen seconds changed the Ming Group's multi-billion yuan investment in Rongcheng over the next few years, and also altered the fate of many people involved.
Upon learning that she later purchased half of the land at Banhulu Mountain, he vaguely guessed what was going on, but he couldn't be sure yet.
If you ask her, she probably won't tell you directly.
But he trusted her, always without a doubt. And she, too, was someone he could trust.
Ming Haoyuan was still somewhat depressed after hearing what he said.
"Lingshan is the best location for real estate development in Rongcheng. It's a real pity that we missed out on such a great opportunity."
“It’s too expensive.” Jiang Lirong explained carefully, “If it were around 7.5 billion, it would be more reasonable. I’ve already told my uncle that Lingshan covers a large area, but unfortunately it’s a bit remote. The development of roads and mountain paths on the mountain will require a huge investment in real estate projects, estimated to exceed 20 to 30 billion. We should proceed cautiously and not expect to achieve our goals overnight.”
"So... what did my dad say?" Ming Haoyuan asked nervously.
Jiang Lirong raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My uncle said that now it's our turn to make a name for ourselves in Rongcheng, not his. We can decide what to do and he won't interfere too much, giving us plenty of space."
"Hehe!" Ming Haoyuan's baby face instantly lit up with a smile, and he nudged him with his elbow. "My dad dotes on you the most, cousin. He'll listen to whatever you say."
Jiang Lirong chuckled softly, "You are his son, so naturally he loves you the most. It's just that in front of you, he has to play the role of a strict father. In front of me, he is just a loving uncle."
"No way!" Ming Haoyuan sprawled on the sofa, grinning lazily. "Dad trusts you and loves you the most! See, he believes everything you say. Cousin, I'm getting a little envious!"
Jiang Lirong took a sip of red wine and said leisurely, "Then you should listen to me and follow my lead. Your uncle will naturally trust you and love you the most."
"I will obey your every command and follow your every whim!" Ming Haoyuan playfully clasped his hands in a fist salute to him.
Jiang Lirong flicked his fist and whispered, "Then just go along with me one more time and don't provoke Young Master Yuan."
Ming Haoyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled.
"Bro, that guy is so good-looking! Just between you and me, every time I think of his face, I get all excited and my blood boils!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Lirong said with a stern face, "I'm not joking. Don't offend him, or you'll face the consequences!"
"Brother~ Brother~" Ming Haoyuan pleaded in a spoiled manner.
