with him How is that even possible The age gap is too big, she could be his mother! No, no, this kind of thing I have to tell her clearly, but what if she's heartbroken What should I do then Ou Yang..."Huh How did he know that" Gu Yichen said calmly, "Lao Zhao, what's wrong Just tell me."

He just called me and asked me to jack up the price of that piece of land you're working on with him, so he can screw you over later. He wanted a 50/50 split. I thought about our friendship and turned him down.

Well I haven't looked for you, yet you've come to me instead. Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony.

"Old Zhao, how could you possibly refuse such a good thing" Gu Yichen said with a smile.

Lao Zhao was completely bewildered by what he heard over the phone: "Huh"

"Lao Zhao, you give him a call and tell him it's eighty-two percent, and then you just need to..."

Lao Zhao, after hearing this, couldn't help but smile: "Very good, very good. I'll do as you say. General Gu, it's really frightening to be an enemy of someone as intelligent as you. Luckily, I'm more sensible and chose to be your friend."

“Lao Zhao, this time thanks to you again.”

Then they chatted about some trivial matters before hanging up.

Xu Wensheng narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "This Chief Zhao isn't an ordinary greedy person. I said just now why he didn't agree, it turned out he thought the amount was too small."

Yushan, who had been frowning moments before, listened and her face immediately brightened. "So you're saying he agreed"

Xu Wensheng nodded, saying with a hint of displeasure: "I agreed, but it's eight to two."

"Just agree to it, 82 is fine, anyway these funds all belong to Gu Yichan. We're taking them for free regardless of the amount. When the time comes, try your best to push the price higher, wouldn't that be great"

Xu Wensheng acknowledged with a nod: "Well, I'll do my best to keep the price under control."

Gu Yichen estimated that the time was about right, he picked up his phone and dialed Xu Wensheng's number, intentionally adding a hint of sorrow to his tone: "Hello Are you the person in charge of Huayu Company at Xincheng Trade Center I'm Gu Yichen. Yes, Director Zhao suddenly raised the price of that plot of land very high. I want to discuss it with you. Okay, call Director Zhao, Rongsheng Hotel."

Gu Yichen hung up the phone, a hint of mockery on his face. During his call with Xu Wensheng just now, he could clearly feel Xu Wensheng's excitement. "You idiot, you can't even control your own emotions. I guess you survived in this circle because of your wife's connections Instead of being grateful to her, you go gallivanting around on your own."

But, I like your foolishness. I'll sell you later and have you count the money for me then.

With a playful smirk, Gu Yichen chuckled softly before casually picking up the desk phone and saying, "Imperial Grand Hotel, please reserve a private room for me. And have a car waiting at the company entrance."

After a short while, Gu Yichan saw Xu Wensheng and Bureau Zhao getting out of the car from afar. The two were in deep conversation and seemed to be having a good time. Gu Yichan quickly walked up to them, with a smile on his face, extending his right hand as if trying to please them: "Bureau Zhao, this way."

Director Zhao also extended his right hand and shook hands with Gu Yichen. He sighed inwardly, thinking, "How deep is this grudge To deceive Xu Wensheng, he even abandoned his own image. He's truly desperate."

Gu Yichen might as well think this way, acting a part and avenging Lin Momo's wrongdoings, plus an acting fee, why not

"Director Zhao, General Manager Xu, please come in. I reserved a private room."

After entering the private room and ordering food, the three of them chatted nonchalantly. When the dishes were almost finished, Gu Yichan took a sip of wine, pretending to be restless, awkwardly smiled, and said, "Director Zhao, you see, we had a good discussion the day before yesterday, how come the price suddenly increased so much"

Chief Zhao's face showed a look of embarrassment: "Brother Gu, this isn't something I want to bring up. Those above pushed the price higher. I want to help you, but my hands are tied."

"Speaking of which, he pulled out a document from his briefcase and continued: "Look, I'm not trying to trick you. This is a contract printed directly by the higher-ups, doubling the price. I tried to say a few words for you, but the higher-ups scolded me mercilessly, saying something like, 'We can't lower it anymore, there are too many people vying for it.' He said they could take it or leave it." on driving." 。Zhao Yino suddenly interrupted him and said: 。Now I'm totally embarrassed. This is so humiliating.Good heavens, was she crazy How could she do those things in front of this man that sh...
