Zhou Yuanhang met Zhang Cheng's unfathomable eyes, deliberately composed himself, and lowered his voice to an extremely low hue, as if sharing some top-secret information.
"Mr. Zhang, a while ago, Mr. Li suddenly approached me, saying he wanted to partner with me on a big project."
Zhou Yuanhang carefully observed Zhang Cheng's expression and continued, "As you know, I was busy with the final work of bringing electricity to the countryside at that time, and I really couldn't spare the time, so... I didn't dare to agree immediately."
"Later, she asked me to find a few trustworthy contractors, so I introduced her to my most capable subordinates."
He paused, then changed the subject, mentioning it seemingly casually.
"Then, I heard that Mr. Qian, the owner of the parts factory, had gotten into trouble..."
"I heard that at a dinner party hosted by the Chamber of Commerce, Boss Li stomped on Qian Zheng's face in front of all the big bosses in the county, and he was sent to the hospital on the spot."
"Now everyone in the county is saying that Boss Qian has an incurable disease and won't live for more than a few days."
As Zhou Yuanhang spoke, he glanced at Zhang Cheng out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Zhang Cheng's expression was calm, he dropped another bombshell.
"Furthermore, just over ten days ago, the Funing Daily's front-page headline reported on the plan to build a smelting plant covering a thousand acres with an investment of 200 million yuan!"
"Right now, Boss Li is recruiting like crazy under the name of 'Yuancheng Guild.' Everyone's saying that Boss Li has already snatched the huge piece of meat that is the smelter into his mouth!"
Zhou Yuanhang's tone was inflammatory, and every word hinted at Li Yuanyuan's methods and ambitions.
Zhang Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly.
His facial muscles remained unchanged, but his lowered eyelids completely concealed the turbulent emotions that flashed across his starry eyes.
Li Yuanyuan.
This woman...
I had only been gone for a little over half a month, and she had already stirred up such a huge storm in Funing County.
They overthrew Qian Zheng, established a guild, and began to take over the smelting plant...
The most crucial thing is that name.
Yuancheng Guild...
The character "圆" (Yuan) is the same as "李圆圆" (Li Yuanyuan), and the character "诚" (Cheng) is the same as "张诚" (Zhang Cheng).
She's declaring to the entire Funing County that behind her stands Zhang Cheng!
This woman has such great courage and such deep scheming!
She wanted to completely tie herself to her chariot.
Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled, a smile that carried a hint of amusement, a hint of appreciation, and a hint of domineering authority that left no room for error.
That's fine too.
Since you want to play, I'll play even bigger with you!
He already had a plan in mind. Having been reborn, he didn't want to live a life of seclusion. Li Yuanyuan's ambitions were exactly the same as his.
Seeing Zhang Cheng smile, Zhou Yuanhang was overjoyed and quickly moved closer, lowering his posture even further: "Mr. Zhang, my project is finished, and the rest is all work for the power supply bureau. Could you... put in a good word for me with Boss Li and give me a boost?"
His face was full of embarrassment, after all, he was the one who had rejected Li Yuanyuan's offer.
“Boss Zhou is a smart man.” Zhang Cheng said calmly, directly seeing through his thoughts. “Don’t worry, I will talk to her about this personally.”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang!" Zhou Yuanhang was overjoyed and quickly took out several blueprints from his bag. "By the way, Mr. Zhang, for the land you want to open a nightclub, I specially went to Yiwu to ask an expert to draw up some design drawings. Please take a look!"
"That's thoughtful of you."
Zhang Cheng took the blueprints, but instead of looking at them closely, he directly pulled out the one that Zhou Yuanhang was pressing with his finger.
"This one is fine."
Zhou Yuanhang was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said admiringly, "Mr. Zhang has a good eye! Although this design is the most expensive, the layout is also the best! Especially the design of those six 'secret rooms' on the third floor, they will definitely make those 'special' guests linger!"
The two exchanged a glance and both revealed smiles that only men could understand.
Zhang Cheng asked, "What is the total cost of the cement pouring?"
"Fifty thousand!" Zhou Yuanhang held up five fingers. "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, if we were using cement slabs, it would only cost thirty thousand. But I guarantee that we will use the best reinforced concrete for you!"
That's fucking cheap.
Zhang Cheng thought to himself, "A four-story building of more than 1,400 square meters would be worth more than five million in today's world."
"This building is now in Mr. Zhou's care," Zhang Cheng said, extending his hand. "I won't trouble two people with one task."
"No problem! I guarantee I'll build it beautifully for you!" Zhou Yuanhang excitedly grasped Zhang Cheng's hand.
"The money..."
"Mr. Zhang, you're really slapping me in the face!" Zhou Yuanhang quickly interrupted, "You should focus on recovering first. The money isn't urgent. We can talk about it when you get back to the county!"
“That works too.” Zhang Cheng nodded.
After seeing Zhou Yuanhang off, Zhang Cheng's smile gradually faded, replaced by a deep look.
He turned around and went back inside, picked up the phone, and dialed the clothing store's number directly.
...
at the same time.
Heping Road, Funing County.
The gilded plaque of the Yuancheng Chamber of Commerce gleamed in the sunlight.
Inside the office, Li Yuanyuan looked down at the bustling crowd below through the huge glass window, a haughty smile curving her red lips.
Sitting opposite her, Shen Ji was filled with mixed emotions.
Who would have thought that in just half a month, this woman would completely overturn the business landscape of Funing County?
With Qianzheng gone, the old chamber of commerce became an empty shell, and everyone was scrambling to get into her "Yuancheng Chamber of Commerce".
Today, she controls the garment industry in Funing County. Out-of-town businessmen who want to open shops cannot even rent a storefront without her approval.
She has become the undisputed queen of the Funing County business district.
