Sun Jinbao nodded, "Yes, how about that? I'm a loyal brother, right? This is a government project that's guaranteed to make a profit. If I didn't have a shortage of funds, I would have taken it all by myself."
Upon hearing that it was a government project, Zhao Enping was thrilled. He eagerly asked, "Jinbao, how much of a share will I get if I join?"
As he spoke, he took out a good cigarette and handed one to Sun Jinbao, even lighting it for him with great courtesy.
Seeing that Zhao Enping had taken the bait, Sun Jinbao thought to himself: Brother, don't blame me. Blame yourself for offending someone and dragging me into this mess.
In order to save his company, Sun Jinbao had no choice but to adopt the attitude of "sacrifice your friends to save yourself."
Sun Jinbao smiled and said, "That depends on how much capital you can contribute."
Without hesitation, Zhao Enping held up five fingers: "I'll put up five million. Brother, you know this is all I have."
“Okay, since you can put up five million to join, I will also put up five million. That’s exactly what I can do. We’ll each own 30% of the shares.”
Zhao Enping reached out and shook his hand, his face full of gratitude: "Jinbao, I'm so grateful. Tonight, go to the Prince Bathing Center. Their all-inclusive service will make you feel amazing. Tonight's expenses are on me."
Sun Jinbao crossed his legs and then placed a company account on the desktop.
"Transfer the money to the Shenzhen Ninth Construction Company's account immediately, and I'll take you to bid this afternoon."
Zhao Enping asked with a fawning look, "Is the kind of bid where you win the whole thing?"
Sun Jinbao said calmly, "Don't worry, the young master will take care of winning the bid. Our participation in the bidding is just a formality."
Zhao Enping happily transferred five million to the designated account.
In the afternoon, Zhao Enping followed Sun Jinbao to the bidding site. Along the way, he was immersed in his dream of making a fortune.
Soon, they drove to Nanshan Building. Sun Jinbao made a phone call, and in less than a minute, a beautiful woman came out and led them to the second floor.
I found that there were already many people sitting inside, probably more than a hundred.
They found an empty seat in the first three rows and sat down.
Half an hour later, a strange man appeared and walked directly to Sun Jinbao, whispering, "Mr. Sun, I'm sorry, District Chief Ma from the government has something come up today and can't come. We need to reschedule the bidding for another day."
Then Sun Jinbao said to Zhao Enping, "There's been an unexpected situation. We can't submit the bid today. Let's go back first."
Although Zhao Enping felt something was amiss, he didn't think much of it. The two got up, went out, and drove back.
After the two of them left, Wang Kaicheng announced through a megaphone on the podium: "President Chen is unable to attend today, so the meeting is canceled. Everyone, please return to your posts."
There was a buzz of discussion among the crowd, and many people began to complain.
[This is ridiculous. We were supposed to have a meeting, but they made us sit down for half an hour, and then they made us go back.]
[I guess it's our boss Chen's uncle who came, and he turned back halfway home.]
On the other side, Luo Dawei, the stand-in owner of the muscular gym, was escorted to the rooftop by Zhao Youde's three bodyguards.
Chen Ze wore a faint smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, his gaze shooting straight at Luo Dawei like a sharp arrow.
He slowly opened his mouth and asked in a cold voice, "Luo Dawei, do you know why I specifically invited you here?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Dawei abruptly raised his head, his neck stiff as a log, his eyes wide open, glaring angrily at Chen Ze.
She shouted, "Who are you? How dare you act so recklessly! Let me go right now, or I will definitely report you for kidnapping!"
Chen Ze seemed unconcerned by Luo Dawei's angry rebuke; he merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly and let out a low, slightly mocking laugh.
Then, he reached out a hand and grabbed Luo Dawei's arm tightly. Without saying a word, he walked towards the railing on the rooftop. When the two reached the railing, Chen Ze stopped, turned around, and stared at Luo Dawei expressionlessly.
He said coldly, "Although this building is only twenty stories high, what would happen if you, Luo Dawei, were to have a moment of despair and choose to jump off from here?"
Upon hearing these words, Luo Dawei's face instantly turned deathly pale, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
He stammered, "You...you...what exactly do you want to do? I'm warning you, murder is a crime, punishable by death and execution by firing squad!"
At this moment, Luo Dawei not only began to stutter, but his legs also trembled as if they had lost their support, as if he would collapse to the ground at any moment.
Chen Ze patted his cheek, a wicked smile on his face: "Who said I killed someone? You're just being delusional. When someone falls from the twentieth floor, they turn into a pile of mud, their brains splattered."
He described the scene, and Luo Dawei added his own interpretation.
Luo Dawei was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud and begged for mercy: "Boss, we have no grudge against each other, please don't kill me! Whatever you want, I'll give you anything I have, please don't kill me!"
Seeing how terrified he was, this was exactly the effect he wanted. Chen Ze squatted down, stared at Luo Dawei, and said, "As long as you do as I ask, I will not only spare your life, but I will also give you 100,000 yuan."
Upon hearing that he could get 100,000 yuan without dying, he immediately asked eagerly, "Boss, what do you want me to do? I'll do it perfectly for you."
"It's very simple. You just need to cooperate with me to transfer the Strongman Gym to my friend's name. Once it's successful, you can take the money and leave."
"No problem, boss, I promise you."
