"Of course, Chen Jian, you did a great job. With a talent like you in the Luo family, how can we not prosper in the future?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jian smiled happily.
"Chen Jian did a great job today, I'm very happy. Tonight I'll treat everyone to a big meal at Legg!"
Legg is a five-star hotel, and the prices are expensive. Even a simple meal would cost several thousand yuan. When Luo Chen said he would treat everyone, everyone applauded.
Given Luo Chen's personality, this meal must be worth at least several hundred thousand.
How could this not make them happy?
Luo Chen appeared happy, but inwardly he scoffed.
[Luckily, there was this idiot, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome. This was clearly a trap, so obvious and he couldn't even see it.]
[This was all a scheme set up by the protagonist, waiting for the Luo family to fall into it.]
[They even claim to be a high-achieving student who returned from studying abroad. Is their diploma fake? Such a large project in Xicheng District, entrusted to a small company—something seems off. Are the Big Four conglomerates really that bad?]
[The Xicheng District project is indeed correct; it will become an economic zone in the future. However, no matter how poor the area is, many people still live there. Who will pay the demolition compensation? Who will pay the severance pay? And there are a whole host of other messy issues.]
[Don't be naive to think that Tianhai Company has taken over all of these businesses. They're now just shell companies; all their funds have flowed overseas, and they've even borrowed a huge amount of money and taken out high-interest loans. It's impossible for them to spare even a penny to keep the company running.]
[With the Dragon King Palace of Ye Lin secretly manipulating things, no one knows for sure yet. The so-called search for a joint venture partner is nothing more than finding a sucker. Their purpose is to dump this mess on the other party and then slip away another sum of money.]
[And in the end, Tianhai Company got away scot-free, took the benefits, and went abroad to live a carefree life, while laughing at the Luo family for not making any money and almost losing everything themselves.]
[The Luo family's enthusiasm is solely due to the publicity stunt orchestrated by Ye Lin in advance. The massive publicity is designed to attract attention, and Ye Lin believes the Luo family will take the bait. After all, this is an opportunity for the Luo family to break free from being ranked among the four major families and become the number one family.]
[It's a pity that this idiot didn't see through it. Of course, I won't tell him that this was a trap set by Ye Lin, just waiting for my Luo family to fall into it.]
Just as Luo Chen was about to sign his name, a snow-white arm appeared in front of him, and then the pen that Luo Chen was holding was taken away by the other party.
"???"
Luo Chen looked at Zhao Meng'er with a head full of question marks, completely puzzled.
Zhao Meng'er threw the expensive pen behind her, and it fell to the ground.
The sudden action silenced the meeting room once again.
"Zhao Meng'er, what are you doing?"
Luo Chen spoke loudly, feeling sorry for the Ferrari da Varese limited edition fountain pen while also puzzled by Zhao Meng'er's actions.
Zhao Meng'er, however, abandoned her previous gentleness and reverted to her business queen persona.
"I disagree with this plan."
If she hadn't been able to hear Luo Chen's thoughts, she would have agreed to the plan, since it would have been detrimental to the Luo family in every way, and even her own family, the Zhao family, would have been able to get some profits.
But what is Luo Chen saying?
This is a trap set by Ye Lin, his aim is to lure the Luo family into a trap and bring them down. How can this be allowed?
Even knowing that Luo Chen would still sign the papers to follow the plot, Zhao Meng'er couldn't let Luo Chen act recklessly.
She had already decided that she was Luo Chen's wife, and since the Luo family's business was in her possession, she should also have the heart to help manage it, instead of letting her little man ruin it like this.
Chen Jian, who was in charge of this project, was just thinking about how to make a name for himself, reach the pinnacle of life, marry a rich and beautiful woman, live in a mansion, and become the president of a branch company.
He almost lived in a Western-style house and kept foreign dogs, but before long, his beautiful fantasy burst like a bubble, and he returned to reality.
Chen Jian dared not reprimand Zhao Meng'er, but stared intently at her to see why she objected.
Just as Luo Chen was about to finalize the matter, Zhao Meng'er suddenly jumped out. Luo Chen questioned her again: "Zhao Meng'er, what are you objecting to? Putting aside Chen Jian's plan, how is this not beneficial to the Luo family? Why are you objecting?"
[Damn it! Why did she suddenly jump in like that? Everything was about to go smoothly, and the protagonist could have taken the lead role. Why did this woman suddenly act so stupid?]
Luo Chen then turned to Chen Jian and said, "I am very satisfied with your proposal. It is truly a blessing for the Luo family to have a talent like you."
Chen Jian was deeply moved. He never expected Luo Chen to appreciate him so much. If he weren't a woman, he probably would have offered himself to her on the spot.
Thinking of this, Chen Jian suddenly made a decision: he would dedicate himself to serving Luo Chen until his dying breath.
Even though he is now in his forties, a man is still capable if Luo Chen needs him.
Zhao Meng'er felt wronged and wanted to bite Luo Chen with her little tiger teeth, and also wanted to tell Luo Chen that she knew all about his little scheme.
However, we cannot say anything, nor can we allow Luo Chen to squander money like this.
Zhao Meng'er glanced at Chen Jian and tapped the planning document on the table.
"Although Tianhai Company is an established company that has been operating for many years, it is still stronger than our Luo family and the other three groups. Why did the Ningcheng government choose Tianhai? Haven't you thought about that?"
They had naturally considered Zhao Meng'er's words. Although the Luo Group also operated in the construction and real estate industry, it was probably still not as capable as Tianhai, which focused solely on this area.
Tianhai has a well-established reputation for quality assurance, and everyone felt there was no problem with Ningcheng officials choosing Tianhai.
Chen Jian is in charge of this matter. Others may remain silent, but Chen Jian must speak up.
"Mr. Zhao, Tianhai Company has always guaranteed quality, and with its close relationship with the Ningcheng government, it is only natural that Tianhai Company was able to obtain the Xicheng District project."
"Moreover, Tianhai Company can earn tens of billions of yuan in profit every year. Compared with our four major groups, it seems much less. But in Ningcheng, Tianhai is also a large group company."
"In addition, Tianhai Company has also been seeking partners to jointly develop the West District and share the profits. Tianhai Company could have taken it all by itself, but it chose to do it this way, which is a noble act. So I don't understand why you object, Mr. Zhao."
The others agreed with Chen Jian's words.
Luo Chen gave Chen Jian a look of approval, which made Chen Jian speak with even more confidence.
The Luo Group is still controlled by the Luo family. Zhao Meng'er is Luo Chen's fiancée, and no matter how much authority she has, she can't compare to Luo Chen.
[Well done, you idiot! Meng'er should have nothing to say after that. Although this world has a protagonist's halo that makes people stupid, Tianhai Company appears to be doing perfectly fine on the surface; the problem lies in what they do behind the scenes.]
[A few years ago, a large-scale collapse occurred in a residential area in the northern part of the city. A group of homeowners paid money, but their houses were gone, and their complaints went unanswered. In the end, a small company took the blame, unaware that it was Tianhai, a company with a reputation for quality assurance, that was pulling the strings behind the scenes.]
