"Well..."
Uncle Tai was stunned for a moment, and his face showed some embarrassment.
That was an incredibly arrogant statement, and speaking in front of so many people was disrespectful to Uncle Tai.
Tang Ping then laughed and said, "Haha, just kidding, Uncle Tai, don't take it so seriously. Xu Jiang is dead, the grass on his grave is almost a meter high, right? Do we need to make such a big fuss when we go out now?"
"Oh, you're joking, aren't you? I thought someone was going to bury me again. I'm old, I can't be easily scared. Having a few bodyguards with me gives me peace of mind," Uncle Tai said with a sigh of relief.
Previously, with Xu Jiang in Jinghai, Uncle Tai really didn't take Tang Ping, a nobody, seriously. But unexpectedly, in a short period of time, Tang Ping developed extremely rapidly. He already owned several internet cafes, KTVs, and other entertainment venues. In addition to the soap factory, he has now entered the real estate market and has reached a point where he can stand on equal footing with him.
In addition, the two of them had secretly cooperated in dealing with Zhao Yu a while ago. Although they didn't say it outright, they had a series of combined attacks that left Zhao Yu unable to get up and he's now hiding.
So, Uncle Tai was very accommodating. As long as there was no conflict of interest, everyone's relationship was still harmonious.
"Brother Qiang!"
After Uncle Tai came in, Tang Ping greeted Gao Qiqiang again.
Upon hearing "Brother Qiang," Gao Qiqiang instantly became excited, and said with a broad smile, "Aping, look at you, you're a big boss now, and you're still so polite. Don't call me Brother Qiang anymore, just call me Lao Gao!"
"You two get along quite well!" Uncle Tai asked casually.
Gao Qiqiang quickly replied, "Hehe, A-Ping and I are neighbors, Uncle Tai. We've known each other for a long time and have a pretty good relationship. Right, A-Ping?"
"Um."
Tang Ping didn't waste too much time on this. He was here to talk business, so he didn't mince words and got straight to the point: "Uncle Tai, let's get down to business. You live in Xinmin, right? You invited me all this way here, not just for tea, are you?"
"Hehe, you're young after all, so impatient. I was originally planning to bring out my treasured Pu'er tea for you to try, but since you're in such a hurry, I'll just say it now!"
Uncle Tai smiled and then said, "It's simple. Zhao Yu is out of the running now. The only two companies left that are competitive in the coastal highway project are us. I'd like to take over. What do you think?"
bite!
Life Choice System:
1: Abandon the coastal highway project, befriend Uncle Tai, and you will be rewarded with [Zhao Lidong's dirty secrets]!
2: Compete fiercely against Uncle Tai to win the coastal highway project, and be rewarded with [highway infrastructure design blueprints]!
Unexpectedly, the life choice system, which had been dormant for a long time, was triggered at this time.
However, that makes sense.
Uncle Tai is a major boss and an important character in the world of Crazy Speed.
However, the probability of this system being triggered is truly bizarre.
It's like a scratch-off lottery ticket; you always feel hopeless, but every now and then you scratch it and it gives you a little surprise.
How do I choose?
Highway infrastructure design drawings are definitely valuable. Now that the company has ventured into real estate, it will surely want to secure as many government projects as possible. With these drawings, there's no need to spend exorbitant sums hiring foreign designers; we can handle it ourselves.
But the incriminating material about Zhao Lidong is also very tempting!
In Jinghai, Tang Ping is most wary of Zhao Lidong.
Zhao Lidong was able to handle the huge mess Zhao Yu caused. Strictly speaking, Zhao Lidong was the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, truly wielding absolute power.
In the original novel, even when the special task force arrived, An Xin didn't dare to reveal her true thoughts, which shows how powerful Zhao Lidong's background was.
Even at the very end, he didn't reveal his true colors.
With his son Zhao Yu in the public eye and Zhao Lidong behind the scenes, one in the dark and the other in the light, they were practically the local tyrants of Jinghai.
If we have incriminating evidence against Zhao Lidong, even if we can't bring him down, at least we'll have a way out, which could save our lives in a critical moment.
An Xin pretended to be stupid for several years before the special task force finally came to his aid.
Then this choice is worth taking a gamble on!
In Jinghai, Zhao Lidong is still in charge. Even his father-in-law, Meng Dehai, was transferred away without warning.
Wearing an extra bulletproof vest isn't a bad thing; I'm not invincible yet.
Besides, the project in Qinghua District has already started, and Tang Ping is risking his career for his father-in-law's sake.
Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. The coastal highway project may seem appealing, but if you can't handle so much of it, it's likely to attract envy.
Moreover, there is another important reason.
The coastal highway project was originally a piece of fat meat in Zhao Yu's mouth, but now it has been forced to be spat out. No matter who gets to eat this piece of fat meat in the end, they will definitely suffer Zhao Yu's retaliation.
Rather than confronting Zhao Yugang head-on, it's better to let Uncle Tai fight them like dogs, while we can sit back and watch the show.
If you think about it that way, then you basically have no choice.
"Choose one!"
Tang Ping silently recited the words in his mind, and then a black box appeared in his mind containing incriminating material about Zhao Lidong, but he didn't have time to look at it now.
I just hope the system isn't lying!
"I knew it was this."
Tang Ping pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Uncle Tai, to be honest, I have a few projects in Qinghua District recently, and I'm short of cash. The coastal highway project is a lucrative one; once I get it, the payment is easy to collect. It's a sure-fire deal, and as a businessman, I have no reason to give it to you for nothing!"
"Hehe, you're such a cunning kid. With such a large operation, you must not have enough funds. If you don't have enough funds, why are you competing with me for the coastal highway project?" Uncle Tai laughed.
Tang Ping shook his head and said, "It's precisely because I'm short of cash that I need the coastal highway project to balance my accounts. Anyway, I won't give up the coastal highway project. Everyone should bid fairly. Without Zhao Yu, it's all about merit now. Unless..."
When he heard the first half, Uncle Tai's expression was still a bit unpleasant, but when he heard the latter part, he immediately asked, "Unless what?"
Tang Ping said with a smile, "I heard that Zhao Yu made several other construction companies withdraw, and each of them received a lot of money. Well then, Uncle Tai, we've known each other for a long time, so I won't ask for too much. Five hundred isn't too much, is it?"
Five million?
Upon hearing this, Uncle Tai's old face immediately scrunched up like an orange peel.
This amount of money is nothing to Zhao Yu, but it is still a considerable sum for the construction group.
He could afford to pay the money, but it hurt his wallet, and he couldn't bear to give it to Tang Ping for free.
Uncle Tai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Five million is too much, Tang Ping. You're clearly asking for the moon. In that case, I'd rather bid fairly with you. With the reputation of my construction group in Jinghai, we're definitely stronger than your construction company and will surely win the bid!"
