Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

After finishing our late-night snack, it was nearly 11 p.m.

Lu Jingyi put down her napkin and stood up, the smile on her face not yet completely gone.

The two returned to the floor where the presidential suite was located, one after the other.

Chen Mo stayed in the master suite, while Lu Jingyi stayed in the business suite that Meilin had arranged in advance next door, so that they could communicate at any time.

At the end of the corridor, Lu Jingyi stopped. "President Chen, get some rest. You have to meet with Cayman lawyers and people from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley tomorrow."

"The same to you."

Chen Mo nodded, swiped his card to enter, and closed the door. Lu Jingyi stood there, her smile gradually fading.

She turned and went back to her suite. Instead of resting immediately, she took off her coat, walked to the window, and picked up her personal phone.

After swiping around for a while, Lu Jingyi seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally settling on a number.

Liang Wenyuan, member of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor.

Lu Jingyi had met him at a private party in Kyoto.

She attended the event with her elders, and Liang Wenyuan was extremely polite to her. Before leaving, he even left his personal contact information, saying that if she encountered any problems in the Western Province, she could contact him directly.

She dialed the number, and after a few rings, the call was answered.

A deep, steady middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the line.

"Jingyi?"

"Uncle Liang, I'm sorry to bother you tonight." Lu Jingyi's voice was very polite.

Liang Wenyuan sounded noticeably more energetic on the other end of the phone.

"Not at all. It's rare for you to call me, are you in the western province?"

"I'm in Hong Kong." Lu Jingyi walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Victoria Harbour outside. "However, there's something related to the Western Province, so I'd like to ask Uncle Liang for help."

Liang Wenyuan's tone immediately became serious: "Go on, you speak."

Lu Jingyi explained things very concisely.

Xingxin Mining, a gold mine in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng County, was offered a low-price investment by someone from the provincial capital. After being rejected, the person used their connections with the Provincial Department of Natural Resources to prepare to halt the project.

Finally, she added:

"Uncle Liang, I don't interfere with normal local supervision, nor do I help any company evade legal inspections. But if a key project in a county is blocked because some people want to seek personal gain, it's not a good sign for either private enterprises or the local government."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Liang Wenyuan's voice turned somber.

"Jingyi, is this true?"

"I trust the source of the information." Lu Jingyi didn't mention Chen Mo's name, but simply said, "Moreover, if there really is a problem in Jiangcheng County, then it should be investigated according to the law and regulations. But if there is no problem, I hope they can be treated fairly."

Liang Wenyuan said slowly, "I understand."

He had, of course, heard about the gold mine in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng County.

He even took a special look at it when the report was first submitted.

For an inland province like Xi'an, the discovery of resources at this level is a major event that could be included in the annual economic work report.

And now someone actually wants to pounce on the project as soon as it emerges? And even use connections in government departments to force people to give up their shares?

More importantly, the call was made by Lu Jingyi.

Liang Wenyuan was well aware of what the power behind Lu Jingyi meant.

She personally made this phone call in the middle of the night for a project in a county town, so you can imagine the connections behind that gold mine in Jiangcheng County.

"Jingyi, don't worry," Liang Wenyuan said. "west Province welcomes legitimate and compliant investors, and will never allow anyone to use public power for personal gain. I will have someone investigate this matter in Jiangcheng County immediately."

"Thank you, Uncle Liang."

"You're too kind." Liang Wenyuan paused, his tone softening. "When are you coming to west Province? Remember to let me know in advance, and Uncle Liang will treat you to a meal."

"Okay, definitely."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jingyi let out a soft breath.

She didn't go to sleep immediately, but stood by the window, looking at the lights outside, while Chen Mo's smiling words about Sister Lu just now floated into her mind.

……

Western Province.

The provincial party committee's villa area.

After Liang Wenyuan hung up the phone, his face turned completely grim.

He wasn't sleepy at all and immediately dialed his secretary's number.

"Xiao Zhou."

The secretary on the other end of the phone immediately snapped to attention: "Governor Liang, what are your instructions?"

"Check the Jiangcheng County East Suburb Gold Mine Project, Xingxin Mining, to see if anyone from the provincial department or the state-owned assets system has recently gotten involved."

"Focus on investigating one person: Zhao Qiming."

The secretary's heart skipped a beat: "Understood, I'll check right away."

Liang Wenyuan put down his phone and stood in the study, his face grim.

What he despises most are these second-generation rich kids who rely on their family connections to extort, demand bribes, and plunder in the local area.

The project had barely started when someone tried to take advantage of it.

This isn't helping Xi'an attract investment; it's ruining Xi'an's business environment.

What's more, the Lu family saw this paw.

If not handled properly, it will not only damage the reputation of Jiangcheng County.

.............

The next morning.

A brief situation report was placed on Liang Wenyuan's desk.

Zhao Qiming, from Qihua Capital, went to conduct an on-site inspection of the gold mine in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng County.

They proposed to invest 100 million yuan in Xingxin Mining, acquiring a 30% stake.

After being refused, they immediately contacted the mining rights approval department of the Provincial Department of Natural Resources, requesting that an expert group be organized to conduct a so-called "reassessment" of Xingxin Mining.

Zhao Qiming's father, Zhao Jianheng, was a powerful deputy director in the provincial development and reform system.

The report wasn't written too explicitly.

But someone of Liang Wenyuan's caliber saw through it at a glance.

Without Zhao Jianheng's approval, would Zhao Qiming dare to be so arrogant?

"Nonsense!"

Liang Wenyuan slammed the document heavily on the table.

The secretary stood to the side, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Liang Wenyuan picked up the red phone on the table and dialed directly.

A few seconds later, the call was connected.

"Zhao Jianheng, this is Liang Wenyuan from the Provincial Party Committee."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jianheng's voice immediately became respectful: "Governor Liang, please give your instructions."

"Your son, Zhao Qiming, is now able to represent the province in negotiations for mining projects with local authorities?"

Zhao Jianheng's heart sank.

He knew, of course, that his son had gone to Jiangcheng County.

He even tacitly approved Qihua Capital's desire to invest in Xingxin Mining.

In his view, a private company in a county town suddenly holding such a large gold mine is bound to fail sooner or later.

Rather than letting other forces in, it's better to let the Zhao family occupy a position first.

But he didn't expect that this matter would reach Liang Wenyuan so quickly.

"Governor Liang, is there some misunderstanding here?" Zhao Jianheng asked tentatively.

"A misunderstanding?" Liang Wenyuan's voice was chillingly cold. "You demanded 30% equity for 100 million, and then called the Department of Natural Resources to halt construction and rectify the situation. You call that a misunderstanding?"

Zhao Jianheng's forehead instantly broke out in a sweat.

Liang Wenyuan continued, "Zhao Jianheng, you are a cadre in the provincial development and reform system, not your son's project manager."

"The Jiangcheng County East Suburb Gold Mine is a key local resource project, involving the county's overall industrial planning and the province's subsequent investment attraction strategy. You and your son, with your limited connections in approvals, dare to forcibly divide the spoils?"

"Who gave you the guts?"

This statement is extremely serious.

Zhao Jianheng's face turned pale, and he quickly stood up. Even though Liang Wenyuan couldn't see him, he subconsciously bent over.

"Governor Liang, I apologize! This is my fault for not disciplining Zhao Qiming properly. I will immediately order him to cease all inappropriate contact, and I will coordinate with the so-called review team from the Provincial Department of Natural Resources."

"It's not about coordination," Liang Wenyuan said coldly, "it's about withdrawing immediately."

"Yes, yes, withdraw immediately!"

"Furthermore, the Jiangcheng County project should be regulated in accordance with the proper procedures, but anyone who dares to use the guise of regulation to seek personal gain will be the first to be investigated."

Zhao Jianheng's back was soaked with sweat.

He finally realized that he had bitten off more than he could chew this time.

The fact that Liang Wenyuan personally made the call, and with such strong words, indicates that the Jiangcheng County gold mine is definitely not just an ordinary private company.

Zhao Jianheng was both shocked and regretful, but he could only repeatedly admit his mistake.

"Governor Liang, rest assured, I will rectify the situation immediately and explain the situation to Jiangcheng County. It will absolutely not affect the normal progress of the project."

"I'm waiting for your report!"

The call was then immediately disconnected.

Zhao Jianheng stood in the office, holding the microphone, and remained motionless for a long time.

The secretary walked in cautiously: "Director Zhao, there's another meeting at 10:30..."

"Reject it."

"what?"

"I said I'd cancel!"

Zhao Jianheng looked up abruptly, his face ashen: "Prepare the car, we're going to Jiangcheng County."

The secretary was stunned: "Now?"

"Now!"

Zhao Jianheng picked up his coat, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger.

The secretary nodded quickly and turned to make the arrangements.

He then took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and prepared to call his son.

But as soon as he found the number, he stopped.

No.

We can't just make Zhao Qiming apologize.

When this matter reached Liang Wenyuan, it was no longer something that could be easily dismissed with a simple "young people don't know any better."

He had to personally bring his son to Xingxin Mining to apologize.

Otherwise, who knows if there will be more trouble later?

Thinking of this, Zhao Jianheng felt a chill run down his spine.

Who exactly is behind Xingchen Technology in Jiangcheng County?

……

At the same time.

Provincial Department of Natural Resources.

The so-called expert review team, which was already prepared to depart, suddenly received an urgent notice.

The mission is cancelled; everyone is to disperse.

The section chief in charge was completely bewildered. Before he could even ask why, he was given a severe scolding by his superior.

"From now on, without formal procedures or the opinion of the Party Committee of the Department, don't just run off to lower levels after someone gives you a heads-up!"

"The Jiangcheng County East Suburb Project is a key resource project that the province is paying close attention to. Who gave you permission to arbitrarily halt construction and order rectification?"

The section chief broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly agreed.

The news quickly reached Jiangcheng County.

When Deputy County Head Wang received the call, he was completely stunned.

"Cancelled?"

"Yes, the Provincial Department of Natural Resources said that it was just an internal misunderstanding and there was no formal inspection plan. They told us to proceed with the project according to the established schedule."

After hanging up the phone, Deputy County Head Wang sat in his office and remained silent for a full half minute.

Then, he suddenly stood up and quickly walked to the window.

In the courtyard of the county government, sunlight fell on the gray-white ground, but his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Yesterday, Zhao Qiming was still arrogant and called on the spot to stop the project.

This morning, the provincial review team was cancelled.

Who's behind this? Secretary Zhou?

impossible.

If Secretary Zhou were to intervene, Zhao Qiming wouldn't even bother to come.

That can only be Star Technology, Chen Mo.

The image of the boy's calm face flashed through Deputy County Chief Wang's mind, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.

He always knew that Chen Mo was no ordinary person.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized he might have underestimated that young CEO Chen.

at the same time.

Lin Wan also received the news at the temporary office in the eastern suburbs mining area.

The review team from the Provincial Department of Natural Resources was withdrawn.

She stood by the window, holding her phone, and stared blankly for a moment.

She sent the message to Chen Mo last night, and this morning, all the pressure from the province had vanished.

Even Zhao Qiming's side has been temporarily silent.

Lin Wan looked down at her phone.

Chen Mo didn't explain further.

Only the reply from last night.

"I understand. You did a great job. Keep things stable."

In just one short sentence, it seemed as if everything had been arranged.

Lin Wan felt a slight warmth in her chest.

She looked out the window at the roaring mining equipment, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
