When Hu Yuan entertained these leaders before, there was one person who never showed up.
Hu Yuan only met her when the inspection work began, and this person was none other than Xiao Qingyue, who was now causing trouble.
However, Hu Yuan did not neglect her when delivering the local specialties; instead, he had someone deliver them to her.
She didn't seem to mind Hu Yuan's overtures. When she first met Hu Yuan today, she even thanked him for the gift in person.
Hu Yuan originally thought that this person would be easy to deal with.
Unexpectedly, now that things have come to this, she is the one least willing to let herself go.
Moreover, Hu Yuan saw smugness in her eyes.
In other words, if Hu Yuan's intuition is correct, she is very likely trying to harm him on purpose.
But Hu Yuan couldn't figure out when he had offended her.
Since his rebirth, Hu Yuan seems to have never had any contact with anyone surnamed Xiao; this is the first time.
How could I possibly have offended her?
Is it simply that they don't like the look of themselves?
"Director Xiao, if there's any misunderstanding between us, we can resolve it privately. There's no need to settle this personal score like this."
Since Hu Yuan had guessed that she was deliberately targeting him, there was no need to hide anything anymore; he might as well just put things out in the open.
"I think Mr. Hu has really misunderstood. There is no misunderstanding between us, and there is no need to resolve it privately. It's just my job. Since your construction site is substandard, the project cannot be accepted normally. I advise Mr. Hu to find a way to solve the problems I just mentioned as soon as possible."
However, the woman did not budge an inch and her attitude remained as firm as ever.
“Director Xiao, it’s not that I’m being unreasonable, but these problems are unavoidable for urban planning. As you said, after the construction was completed, the natural environment of Xiaotun Street is not as good as before, but this problem can only be solved through greening.”
Hu Yuan lowered his voice to avoid being overheard by others.
"Yes, didn't you say that it could be solved by planting greenery? Then you should solve the problem first before letting us come and inspect it."
Xiao Qingyue glanced at Hu Yuan, then said with a cold smile.
"Director Xiao, that's being unreasonable. Greening takes too long; it can't be done in a day or two. Even if I use the remaining month to do the greening, it might only look good on the surface, and it might be gone after a while. Besides, this is a commercial street; where are we going to find enough space to do greening?"
Hu Yuan was utterly speechless. If he hadn't always been a womanizer and hadn't had very few relationships with women, he probably would have thought he had abandoned this woman at some point.
According to Hu Yuan, the reason why women hold grudges and are most serious is because of their feelings.
"I don't want to say anything more. All the questions I raised were for Mr. Hu's benefit. As long as you solve those problems, the next inspection will naturally pass smoothly. If you don't understand my good intentions, then we'll take our leave."
After Xiao Qingyue finished speaking, she ignored what Hu Yuan wanted to say, and didn't even glance at Hu Yuan's expression or reaction. She only glanced at the other colleagues who were unwilling, and then turned and left.
It seemed to mean that the inspection was over and there was no way he would pass; anyway, I was leaving first, and it was up to you whether you wanted to stay or not.
"Mr. Hu, I'm so sorry, there were no problems in the areas we inspected, especially the plumbing and electrical systems, which were handled exceptionally well. However, each of us has our own areas of responsibility, so..."
Several people walked over at the same time, and one of them took the initiative to apologize to Hu Yuan.
Of course, this isn't really an apology; it's more like expressing one's thoughts.
"It's alright, I'm already very grateful to everyone. But I'd like to learn more about Director Xiao from you all. Let's have dinner together tonight and talk about it."
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." It is practically impossible for Hu Yuan to meet Xiao Qingyue's requirements. To win her over, he must understand her.
"In the past two days, General Manager Hu has already spent a lot of money, so there's no need for meals. As for this Director Xiao, we don't really know her very well. She hasn't been here long, and her personality has always been at odds with everyone else. It's said that even in front of the leaders, she's unyielding and only does things her own way."
The man spoke again, refusing Hu Yuan's invitation and telling him what he knew about Xiao Qingyue.
Hu Yuan returned to the company alone, unable to understand how he had offended Xiao Qingyue.
At this time, the people who had been sent to investigate Sixth Master a few days earlier returned, so Hu Yuan temporarily put aside his speculations about Xiao Qingyue.
It turns out that the reason why Sixth Master was able to rise to prominence suddenly twenty years ago was not just because of his good luck.
This is a very melodramatic story. Back then, Sixth Master was a handsome and dashing young man.
By chance, Sixth Master met a wealthy young lady and helped her. In the end, the young lady fell in love with Sixth Master.
The young lady's family originally intended for her to marry into a business alliance, but she fought desperately for Sixth Master, and in the end, her family softened and had no choice but to agree to the marriage.
But Sixth Master was a man of great integrity. He was unwilling to accept the family's gifts, and even less willing to become a senior executive in the family's company.
The young lady gave Sixth Master her private savings, instructing him to buy antiques, coal mines, and other things, secretly guiding him to do things that could make money. Her family behind the scenes also secretly helped him.
In this way, in less than ten years, Sixth Master became a businessman with considerable wealth.
But the accident happened suddenly. Sixth Master's wife fell seriously ill, and the hospital was unable to save her. She soon passed away.
Later, when Sixth Master learned about all of this, he realized that he didn't actually have any business talent, and that all his efforts couldn't bring him so much wealth. It was all because of the support of a powerful woman behind him.
From then on, Sixth Master became disheartened. Coupled with a series of business failures, he eventually chose to give up those businesses and switch to the simplest one.
After getting involved in this business, debt collection became a major problem.
So Sixth Master adopted another son, who is now Brother Cheng.
Back then, Cheng was an orphan who wandered the streets every day, causing trouble; he was just a low-level hoodlum.
But after becoming Sixth Master's adopted son, his status changed, and he became a notorious gangster who dominated the area. Gradually, his reputation spread.
Originally, Cheng was loyal to Sixth Master, but things seem to have changed in the last two years.
