Li Susu felt a headache coming on as she looked at the reporters who were all talking at once.
That's a really underhanded tactic; they actually caused trouble at the groundbreaking ceremony.
"Everyone, we have already obtained the consent of our partners to start construction ahead of schedule, and Mr. Fan can serve as proof of that."
Fan Sheng, whose name was mentioned, had no choice but to speak up and agree with Li Susu's statement.
"Everyone, the weather isn't very good today, please go home first."
"The groundbreaking ceremony has concluded. Please return to your posts."
The situation gradually stabilized, but some reporters were still unwilling to give up.
"President Li, this suburban project has attracted citywide attention. Now that this has happened, what are your thoughts?"
Li Susu looked displeased and gave the reporter who asked the question a cold look.
"This reporter, the suburban project is indeed attracting a lot of attention, but starting construction ahead of schedule is also for the sake of the construction period and subsequent development. Are you trying to deliberately mislead public opinion by asking this question?"
The reporter was rendered speechless by the question, and Li Susu took advantage of this moment to turn around and leave.
After getting into the car, he immediately instructed the driver to start driving.
Continuing to argue like this will only embolden these reporters to take advantage of us; there's no need for that.
"Who threw that stone? Have they been caught?"
"President Li, no one noticed what happened just now, so..."
Li Susu sighed, "Never mind, this used to be Master Liu's territory. It's too easy for him to cause trouble here."
"He's just sending lobbyists to plead for me on one hand, and doing this kind of thing on the other. Humph, this old man is trying to use both soft and hard tactics to make me give in!"
"Mr. Li, what do we do next?"
"Tell the reporters to keep today's events quiet and not make a big fuss."
The signboard was smashed at the groundbreaking ceremony, which will inevitably make people laugh if word gets out.
Li Susu didn't want to cause herself any trouble.
Fan Sheng will relay the message; let's wait for the result.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll take care of it right away."
After Fan Sheng left, he contacted Master Liu and met with him.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so after a few polite words, they got down to business.
"Master Liu, I have already asked about the matter you asked me to inquire about."
"We can overlook Mr. Li's situation, but you'll probably have to give up the underground casino on the suburban land."
Master Liu was playing with a cigar in his hand, seemingly not listening to Fan Sheng's words.
After a moment of silence, Fan Sheng couldn't help but speak again.
“Master Liu, Li Susu is backed not only by the Li family, but also by the Fu family. You shouldn’t provoke her.”
Master Liu paused, then looked at Fan Sheng.
"Really? It's a pity that things in this world are just so coincidental."
“She offered herself up to me. Even if I do nothing and just take her back, she will still hold a grudge.”
Fan Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Does Master Liu mean that she wasn't kidnapped by your men?"
"That makes things much easier."
Master Liu scoffed lightly, "Easy to handle? I don't think it's easy to handle."
"This underground casino is the culmination of my years of hard work. She thinks she can make me give it all up with just a few words?"
"Even with the Fu family backing her up, this little girl is far too arrogant."
Fan Sheng was taken aback, but he wasn't surprised by Master Liu's reaction.
“The suburban projects have already started ahead of schedule. Even if the underground casino survives now, it will be affected in the future.”
"Mr. Liu, why don't you move elsewhere? After all, your old customers are all loyal to you."
"Your business won't be affected too much."
