Fifty million a day, trapped in the county town, can't spend it all.

"What case? I'll look into it for you."

"It's just a small case, a dispute over the termination of a mortgage. The plaintiff is Zhang Yang, who has recently gained fame in the county, and the lawyer is Wen Yining," Zhao Yongchang said, looking at the court summons.

"Wen Yining?"

"right."

"Alright then, I don't need to help you investigate. I can't help you with this. Old Zhao, you can't possibly not know Wen Yining. The evidence chain for all the cases she takes on is solid. Tell me how to drag it out? I can't even come up with a reason. You can't let me make a mistake." The voice on the phone coughed lightly and lowered its voice a bit. "Besides, you know that Wen Yining's uncle is the hospital director."

"I don't mean for you to make mistakes, but a slight delay in the process shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Then tell me, is this your fault or someone else's?"

"This..." Zhao Yongchang was speechless.

"Old Zhao, listen to my advice. Zhang Yang has been riding too high lately. He's only been back in the county for a short time and he's already spent tens of millions. You know the current economic situation. The higher-ups finally found a big spender like him, who might be able to boost the local economy. You're going to mess with him? Do you even know what it means to go with the flow?"

"Besides, he's so young, and he came back from Shanghai. We all think he's just a figurehead, and there must be someone else behind him. Plus, this whole thing was your fault, there's no need to make a big fuss about it."

"He returned my things and slapped me in the face. Am I just supposed to swallow this?" Zhao Yongchang said, suppressing his anger.

"I think you've wasted the last few decades of your life. That's all I have to say. Whether you swallow this or not is up to you. I can only say that I can't help you with this."

The person on the other end of the phone hung up immediately after finishing speaking.

bang——

Zhao Yongchang slammed his hand on the table in anger.

He was unwilling to accept this. He was a prominent figure in Mu County, yet now he could only suffer in silence.

Originally, I wanted to use some underhanded tricks to be disgusting and make a scene, but now people who want to help are afraid of getting burned and are unwilling to help.

He sat down in the boss's chair and began to think.

Zhao Yongchang is not stupid; on the contrary, he is very smart. Otherwise, he could not have developed into a building materials market that could dominate the entire county in just one or two decades by helping others watch over sand pits.

He was good at assessing situations, but he thought Zhang Yang was just a young man. Although he had some money, his core support base wasn't there, so he figured it shouldn't be a big problem to manipulate him. But now it seems Zhang Yang is more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

He pondered for a moment.

He turned on his phone and dialed Zhang Yang's number.

"Feed?"

"Mr. Zhang, this is Zhao Yongchang. I'm sorry, my phone broke these past few days and I just got a new one."

Hehe, Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh.

That's awesome! My phone broke...

"Oh, is that so? That explains why I couldn't get in touch with Mr. Zhao. I thought he was deliberately avoiding me."

"How could that be?" Zhao Yongchang said with a forced smile. "Mr. Zhang, I just received a summons from the court. Do you think it's such a big deal that you've already sued me?"

"Oh, why would I sue General Manager Zhao? I couldn't contact you, so I had to go to court to cancel the mortgage between you and Moore Department Store. I did it through proper channels." Zhang Yang smiled.

"There's a reason for this, isn't there? I didn't do it on purpose."

"This matter has been going on for a long time. You know why it hasn't been canceled yet, Mr. Zhao, right?"

"I know what I'm doing, but I feel that what you're doing, Mr. Zhang, is not fair. Young people are too impulsive and don't play by the rules."

Zhang Yang shook his head, his tone suddenly turning cold: "Mr. Zhao, if I remember correctly, we had tea together before, didn't we?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Last time I invited you to meet at the bamboo house, we drank this year's freshest pre-Qingming tea," Zhang Yang paused, "Although we couldn't reach an agreement on cooperation, surely we can still maintain good relations even if business isn't finished, right?"

Zhao Yongchang didn't understand why Zhang Yang was suddenly bringing this up.

"and then?"

"And then? Then when I went to transfer ownership of the Moore Department Store I bought, I found that there was a mortgage that hadn't been cancelled. I kept calling you, but your phone was always off. This is really putting me in a difficult position, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Yongchang took a deep breath and forced himself to control his emotions: "President Zhang, please let me explain. This was indeed my oversight. Shuai Deheng has already repaid the previous mortgage. In principle, it should have been dealt with long ago. But as you know, I manage such a large building materials market and have so many projects to follow up on, so I was busy and forgot."

"As for your matter, my phone did break down recently, it's not that I didn't deal with it on purpose."

"Now that your phone is working again, and we've had a preliminary discussion, can we get it resolved?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the Housing Management Bureau at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Bring your official seal, ID card, and other documents. We'll go together to sign the cancellation papers. If you come, I'll withdraw the lawsuit immediately, and the asset preservation order against you will be lifted. We all live in the same county, and we'll run into each other all the time. We're still friends."

"Okay, okay, I'll be there on time."

Zhao Yongchang realized that there was no point in dragging things out any longer. If he continued to delay, he would have to pay lawyers' fees once the court made its ruling, and the judgment documents would be made public. This would damage the company's reputation.

It's not worth it; I'll just have to put up with it this time...

"Remember to bring the materials, as well as the time and place. I'll be waiting for you, Mr. Zhao, tomorrow."

After saying that, Zhang Yang hung up the phone.

Chen Rou watched in awe; she had never seen such domineering arrogance before.

"You're kind of handsome, bro."

"Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend!"

"Tch! I think you're just a cunning, smiling tiger."

Zhang Yang glared at Chen Rou, who stuck out her tongue and obediently left Zhang Yang's office.

......

The next day.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

Zhang Yang and Wen Yining were already waiting at the Housing Management Bureau when Zhao Yongchang rushed over, followed by two staff members.

Both parties handed over their respective documents, and because the documents were complete, the signing and sealing process was completed quickly.

After the cancellation was completed, Wen Yining started the transfer process. In less than half an hour, the ownership certificate of Moore Department Store was changed.

Wen Yining handed the red certificate to Zhang Yang: "It's all settled."

Zhang Yang glanced at it, nodded, and then looked at Zhao Yongchang: "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Zhao. I will immediately apply to cancel the preservation application."

Zhao Yongchang's face twitched, and he forced a smile: "President Zhang is so young, yet he has so many tricks up his sleeve."

"What tricks do I have?" Zhang Yang looked directly at Zhao Yongchang. "I'm just exercising the legal rights that a citizen is entitled to under the law."

Zhao Yongchang snorted and turned to leave.

Wen Yining and Zhang Yang exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.

"He suffered a loss this time, and he will definitely not swallow this insult."

Zhang Yang shrugged.

"It doesn't matter. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. By the way, Attorney Wen, you have connections. Do you know anyone at the Housing and Construction Bureau? The later exterior renovations of Moore Department Store need to be reported. I was thinking of submitting an application in advance to get the permits sooner, so as not to delay the construction schedule later."
