After my divorce at thirty, I developed an intelligence network.

At that point, a distraught Yu Lili will naturally go to beg her capable older sister for help.

As for Yu Yue, and the Yu family behind her who once looked down on him for marrying into a wealthy family, who can they rely on?

Wouldn't they have to turn around and beg this son-in-law, who has some influence in the planning department, for help?

I'll just use you to test my knife.

Li Shida curled his lips into a cold smile.

When your whole family is thrown into chaos, when you have no choice but to place all your hopes on me...

I'd like to see who dares to look at me like that again.

……

……

The courtyard with its characters split, the family of Gong Yuelong.

The proposed solutions are as follows: minor renovations to municipal pipelines, renovations of old residential areas, construction of a new 3,000-square-meter standard factory in the High-tech Zone, and renovation of the gymnasium at a key middle school.

Gong Yuelong stared at the words that appeared in the blue light in his mind, and his eyelids twitched.

Is a new 3,000-square-meter standard factory building to be built in the High-tech Zone?

He suppressed his surprise and, instead of being overjoyed, became even more vigilant.

In the construction industry, there are no free lunches. Every project involves people, events, and an unseen network. The system can provide direction, but whether you delve deep or shallow into it, you have to find your own way.

He waited patiently for the blue light to continue flashing.

[Among these types of projects, intelligence systems involve the greatest financial burden and the most disputes.]

[Renovation of Old Residential Communities]

"Delayed payments, difficulty in collecting the final payment..." Gong Yuelong scoffed, "Just as I expected."

He didn't stop, he continued asking.

[The intelligence system is the best fit for the current team and offers the most reasonable profit margin among these types of projects.]

……

[Construction of Small Factory Buildings in High-tech Zone]

"Three thousand square meters... not big, but it has everything you need."

"The key is independent projects, following them from beginning to end, which allows you to accumulate solid experience."

My mind was already racing, calculating: how long would the project take, how would the materials be organized, how would the workers be scheduled, and what would be the key points for acceptance...

But he quickly stopped the car.

Intelligence provides direction, not guarantees. Whether it will succeed, and how it will succeed, still depends on reality.

He didn't ask "where exactly is the project located" or "who the key person is".

If the system were to actually implement these details, it would likely take even longer and involve too many variables.

He chose to cut straight to the core.

[The intelligence system provides a reliable method for contacting and securing this factory project.]

Blue light flows, and information emerges.

[Thinking time: three days]

……

Yuexin Engineering Consulting, 17th Floor, Chengdong Business Building.

Yu Yue's office.

Yu Lili rushed in, her face beaming, and slammed the door shut behind her, her voice trembling with excitement:

"Sis! It's done! My brother-in-law agreed to help me with the China Railway project!"

Yu Yue looked up, startled. "Li Shida? He contacted you first?"

"Of course it's true!" Yu Lili tossed her bag onto the sofa beside her and moved closer to the desk.

"The 14th Bureau is involved in the municipal pipeline renovation project, requiring over 20 million yuan in material procurement! My brother-in-law said the road has already been cleared, and with a little maneuvering, we can secure the contract!"

The triumphant look on her face was impossible to hide:

"You didn't see what my brother-in-law said when we had dinner today. He was very clear about everything, especially how to deal with the people involved and the procedures. He knows it all perfectly! He's a veteran in this business; he's very reliable!"

Yu Yue leaned back in her chair, frowning. "When did you start calling your brother-in-law so affectionately? You always used his full name before, didn't you?"

"Oh, sis, you just don't understand!" Yu Lili waved her hand and sat down in the chair opposite her.

"Things are different now! My brother-in-law is genuinely helping me, so he's one of us! Besides, he has these resources, so why not take advantage of them! If I really land this project, I'll be firmly established in this industry!"

She smiled brightly, "Sis, I'm serious, you should treat your brother-in-law a little better."

He's only putting in so much effort because of you, isn't he? We need to keep him under control.

Besides, even if Gong Yuelong has recently had some good luck and landed a project or two, so what?

At best, he's just a small-time contractor starting out. He doesn't have strong connections or substantial capital, and he only takes on small, peripheral jobs. How much success can he possibly have in the future?

As Yu Yue listened, that feeling of irritation welled up inside her again.

Looking at her sister's face, flushed red from the thought of China Railway and the 20 million yuan, she was too lazy to say anything more, and simply said:

"The projects with 'China' in their names are good, but the upfront investment is terrifying, and the payment cycle is long. Did Li Shida mention these things to you? Don't just focus on the benefits and miss the pitfalls."

"Would my brother-in-law harm me?" Yu Lili retorted, unconvinced. "He must have considered everything! Sis, don't be so discouraging!"

As Yu Yue listened, a feeling of annoyance welled up inside her.

She actually leaned more towards Gong Yuelong's side.

After all, Gong Yuelong is now energetic and his momentum is visible. He also speaks and acts with a straightforward and open manner, unlike Li Shida, who is slow and hesitant, and every word he says is roundabout.

Seeing that Yu Yue was not interested, Yu Lili enthusiastically fantasized for a while about the glorious scene after winning the project, then picked up her bag and walked away with light steps.

The door closed, and the office fell silent.

Yu Yue rubbed her temples. Would Li Shida really be so kind? Offering Yu Lili a project worth over 20 million yuan? What was he after?

She knows her husband too well. He's all driven by self-interest, and every step he takes is calculated. There's definitely something fishy going on here.

But Yu Lili was in the middle of a great time and wouldn't listen to anything she said.

She leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling.

If Gong Yuelong's side performs well and continues to rise, why would she need to guess Li Shida's thoughts?

But things aren't completely stable on Gong Yuelong's side yet, and on Li Shida's side... what if we can still squeeze something out of him?

This thought bothered her a little.

Wanting both is not so easy.

……

In the east of the city, at Yu's Private Kitchen, in a quiet private room.

"I... I think I'm a little... unable to hold on..." Lin Wei's voice was light and airy, as if she had let down all her guard.

She spoke rather quickly, as if trying to seize this rare moment of relaxation to pour out the turmoil in her heart.

"Brother Gong, regarding the High-tech Zone project, Engineer Sun praised you, but on my side... the Jinxiu Jiangnan project, Boss Li's tone is getting tighter and tighter, the threshold is frighteningly high... the final payments for several small projects I have are being delayed by the clients to the point that my cash flow is almost running out... and a materials supplier I've been working with for many years has recently started playing tricks on me..."

"Brother Long, this drink is for you. Last time at the dinner... we owe you so much."

Gong Yuelong didn't reply, he just looked at her.

She counted them one by one, her voice filled with anxiety.

She took another big gulp of wine, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

My body unconsciously leaned back in the chair, and I casually unbuttoned the top button of my shirt, as if that was the only way to breathe more easily.

"Sometimes I really feel like it's meaningless..." She laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm too tense, and in front of you... I can't hide it anymore."
