At the start, I had to choose one of four options, and I immediately picked the Brahmin from the cou

Over the next two days, a rumor began to circulate quietly in the upper echelons of Jiangyang County: Zheng Hao, the young master of the Zheng family, had finally fallen from grace.

However, they were also a little curious as to why Zheng Guodong had no reaction to such a big incident, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Although the Zheng family has made a lot of money over the years thanks to the Li family's influence, ten million is not a small amount. When they were surprised that Zheng Guodong had the audacity to take out ten million to build a warehouse for his son, they secretly mocked Old Zheng, wondering if he was getting senile as he got older, letting a young upstart act recklessly.

Now this mess is truly in his hands, and Jianhui Real Estate in the city is directly trying to seize it. However, Zheng Guodong has unusually chosen to cower and remain silent, leaving the old foxes in the industry who were waiting to see him make a fool of himself completely baffled.

"I think Old Zheng has completely backed down. Ten million is a painful blow to the Zheng family, but it's not enough to cripple them. If he really goes head-to-head with that third-in-command's front man in the city for this money, does he even want to keep his building materials market in business?"

"Exactly, that's called sacrificing the pawn to save the king! That's Jianhui Real Estate. No matter how influential the Zheng family is in Jiangyang County, they're just a local bully. When they run into a powerful outsider, what can they do but cower?"

However, what they had no idea was that Zheng Guodong, who was being talked about by everyone, was sitting in his chairman's office at his building materials market, leisurely drinking the newly harvested Mingqian Longjing tea, as if nothing had happened.

Zheng Guodong was not annoyed by the rumors and gossip; on the contrary, he found them utterly ridiculous.

"A bunch of short-sighted fools, do they really think Wang Jianhui is some kind of powerful, all-powerful dragon?"

Ten million? To those nouveau riche bosses in the county, that might be a staggering sum, but on that man's chessboard, it was merely bait to lure in a bigger fish. Others might not know who the real mastermind behind that piece of land in the south of the city was, but surely Zheng Guodong did?

That's Li Xiao! He's the top young master who usually keeps a low profile, but when he really turns on you, he can cause a huge uproar!

Although his son Zheng Hao usually seemed carefree and irresponsible, Zheng Guodong thought that the fact that he managed to cling to Li Xiao and get involved was like a stroke of good luck for the Zheng family.

He put down his teacup, looked through the floor-to-ceiling window at the city center, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Wang Jianhui, you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have someone backing you? Don't you even know where you are?"

Meanwhile, Zheng Hao's acting skills were impeccable in order to complete the role. If he were to act in a movie, no one else would be worthy of the Oscar.

In order to convince others that he had finally admitted defeat, Zheng Hao deliberately went to several nightclubs he frequented and told everyone he met that the city's developers were breaking the rules and that he had been trapped with tens of millions of yuan. He had thought he could prove himself this time, but instead he ended up losing everything.

Thanks to Zheng Hao's tireless efforts, the news reached Wang Jianguang's ears in less than half a day.

In the city, Jianhui Real Estate.

Wang Jianguang rushed into the president's office excitedly, forgetting to even knock on the door. "Big brother, it's all settled! Everything's settled! I just sent someone to Jiangyang County to investigate. That kid from the Zheng family got drunk at Jinbihuihuang last night, smashing glasses and crying poor. It seems that his father, Zheng Guodong, is really going to back down this time."

At that moment, Wang Jianhui was sitting in the boss's chair smoking a cigar. Upon hearing this, the last shred of doubt he had was completely dispelled.

Zheng Hao was never a threat to Wang Jianhui. The only person Wang Jianhui was wary of was his father, Zheng Guodong. If Zheng Guodong had help, things would get complicated. After all, the provincial documents were about to be issued, and if the seminar room didn't take advantage of this lull to get things sorted out, things would become difficult later.

Fortunately, Zheng Guodong immediately backed down, which shows that he knew that there was someone behind him that he couldn't afford to offend.

He has a deep understanding of the saying "it's good to have a big tree to lean on." Who would have thought that the now famous Jianhui Real Estate boss in Tianshui City was just a low-life hoodlum who illegally mined sand along the Tianshui River and led a group of vagrants to fight for territory ten years ago?

If it weren't for the chance encounter back then where he handled some shady business for the current third-in-command, and then successfully climbed up to this towering tree to become a front man for helping people amass wealth and launder money, would Wang Jianhui have the glamorous life he enjoys today, driving luxury cars and surrounded by women?

When Wang Jianhui recalled how he and his brothers were chased for three blocks with machetes while trying to steal a few truckloads of sand ten years ago, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Now look at it, people travel in luxury cars and associate with high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

Those underworld bosses who used to trample on him now all bow down and call him "Boss Wang" when they see him.

"Jianguang, pass the word down and have our construction team assemble tonight. Tomorrow morning, send all the bulldozers and excavators straight to that construction site in the south of the city! Secure the land first, and make it a fait accompli."

Wang Jianguang hesitated for a moment, still somewhat apprehensive. After all, strictly speaking, the land still belonged to someone else. "Brother, although the city bureau has issued a freezing order, legally, the ownership of this land still belongs to that Lansheng Capital of the Zheng family. We haven't even signed a transfer contract yet. If we send heavy machinery to forcibly enter the site, what if the Zheng family gets desperate and reports it to the provincial authorities..."

"Report my ass! I did the same thing back in Linjiang County, and nobody dared utter a sound. Once our machines are in, creating a fait accompli of development, it's just an economic dispute. With Director Qian and that third-in-command from the city backing us up, who in Jiangyang County would dare to inspect Jianhui Real Estate's construction site? Go ahead and do it! I'll take the blame if anything goes wrong!"

Hearing his elder brother say this, Wang Jianguang felt much more confident.

"Alright! With your words, big brother, I know what to do!"

He always acts decisively, especially in his old trade of seizing territory.

In less than two hours, he had gathered all the special construction teams employed by Jianhui Real Estate. These people usually looked respectable in their work clothes, but in reality, they were ruthless social outcasts and thugs who specialized in dealing with holdout residents who refused to relocate for Jianhui Real Estate.

It is thanks to this team that Jianhui Real Estate can be said to be invincible. As long as it is in Tianshui City, as long as they have their eye on a piece of land, they can acquire it. This time will be no exception.
