"Hehe, it's really nothing big. I just heard that you've been stuck with a cooperation project lately."
How did you know?!
“Mr. Huang, don’t you also want it?” Zhong Yan’s eyes crinkled. Of course, she knew from her own memory that Huang Youde had used every means to get that piece of land, but in the end he failed to swallow it up and was implicated, ruining his reputation that he had built up over the years.
So, her intervention now is, in a way, helping him out!
Huang Youde was trembling with fear, his face filled with doubt. He felt as if she was digging a hole for herself when she said those words! What would a young girl like her want that piece of land for?
still……
She had already noticed something during their last meeting.
Thinking of her abilities, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine, as if a ghost was haunting me.
"Mr. Lin..."
"Let me think about it." Lin Yang rolled his eyes at him, but he himself was not very at ease. They had all seen Zhong Yan's abilities. Besides, it's better to resolve a feud than to make it fester.
Last time, I still owed her a favor!
However, that piece of land in the western district is of utmost importance, and there can be no mistakes! His contact with Huang Youde was nothing more than a few meals together; there was nothing else.
Forget about leaking the bottom price!
Zhong Yan was very patient, and even refilled their teacups several times. She was relaxed, as if she wouldn't be surprised by any of his reactions.
Lin Yang's gaze fell on her, with a hint of scrutiny: "Zhong Yan, can I know why you want that land? You're just a student..."
Zhong Yan's lips twitched slightly: "Can't students start their own businesses? Or can't students get rich? Mr. Lin, I don't think the law stipulates that."
Lin Yang shook his head: "I will not do anything illegal or criminal."
The implication was that he wouldn't directly give her the right to use that land.
Zhong Yan had expected this. If he were truly a scoundrel who would use money to pave his way, Huang Youde wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find her, let alone give her 100,000 yuan.
"Mr. Lin, you don't need to do anything illegal or criminal. Just don't hold up the permit when the time comes."
"I won't back down!" Huang Youde finally found his voice and said confidently, "No matter what you say, I won't back down! I'm going to have that land."
“I know!” Zhong Yan looked at him with a beaming smile, her attitude as friendly as could be. “I didn’t mean for you to withdraw; I just wanted to get a share. Oh, I forgot to tell you, that area in the West District used to be a cemetery! Now it’s been turned into a ghost market. If you don’t want me to get involved…”
"You!" Huang Youde wanted to cry. He had guessed her purpose earlier, but once she said that, he really couldn't resist.
After all, I had already witnessed her prowess before!
Wang Yan told him everything...
Zhong Yan seemed unaware that she was putting others in a difficult position, and instead said in a good-natured manner, "Actually, you don't need to panic. I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that I was afraid it wouldn't be worthwhile for you to find other Taoist priests."
Putting aside whether there are any charlatans or not, even if they are truly skilled, like the group from the Celestial Masters Sect, they wouldn't easily help him.
After all, they're always thinking about making a fortune out of trouble, and maybe even achieving immortality along the way!
