Chapter 74: Jubo Chapter 74 \nLisaâs dad sent an assistant called Li Duzhi. His purpose was to assist Wang Hongwei in contracting the mountain of the Guanâs Village. In fact, he also came to watch Wang Hongwei in case he made mistakes, and inspect the north mountain that the company was interested in.\nWang Hongwei knew from his sonâs phone call that Li Duzhi was not an ordinary employee in Lisaâs familyâs company, so he took great care when receiving him. After the two came down from the mountain, his pants and shoes accidentally became dirty. Because of his lack of experience, Wang Hongwei didnât know that he should wear boots when he went up the mountain, and hurriedly invited the assistant to his own house.
He found a pair of boots for Li Duzhi after rummaging in the cabinet. The boots were several years old and covered with dust, but they could still be worn after wiping.
Although Li Duzhi was dissatisfied with these boots, his leather shoes were dirty. It would take several hours to wash them before wearing them again. He could only take off his shoes and put on the Western boots. Tolerating the discomfort, he went to the living room.
Wang Hongwei also changed.
The two sat in the living room and discussed contracting the mountain. Although they felt that there was no problem, Li Duzhi was still a bit worried.
Wang Hongwei may not have seen it, but Li Duzhi knew that Secretary Guan did not want them to contract the north mountain. As soon as he told this to Wang Hongwei, the latter patted his chest to reassure him.
âAssistant Li, your worries are actually superfluous. Besides us in the Guanâs Village, who else can afford the contracting costs? I have already inquired about it. At present, no one in the Guanâs Village has the intention of contracting. Even if outsiders want to contract and win the mountain, they canât compete with us. â
âYou are so confident?â Li Duzhi actually looked down on Wang Hongwei. He knew that their family wanted to climb up to his boss, thinking that with millions of assets in his family, they could be compared with him. If it were not for their use, it would be impossible for the boss to let Miss Lisa associate with Wang Ningkai.
âOf course.â Wang Hongwei lived most of his life, but he still could not see through juniors who were nearly a decade younger than him. âThe Guanâs Village is somewhat exclusive. If they arenât locals, it is impossible for them to contract the mountain. Even if we donât say anything about it, Secretary Guan will reject them in one bite. â\nLi Duzhi didnât take it seriously when he heard these words. He already knew about this. The boss had not been interested in the Guanâs Villageâs mountain for just a day or two. The company wanted to expand and go further so they need to find more and better resources. In the past, the boss had fancied the Guanâs Village, but as soon as it was heard that they were outsiders, Secretary Guan directly rejected them.
Later, the boss accidentally learned that Wang Ningkai, Miss Lisaâs target of interest, actually came from the Wangâs Village and now lived in the Guanâs Village. The plan that he had originally intended to abandon had been brought up again. This time, they became smarter. With the Guanâs Village resident, Wang Hongwei, Secretary Guan did not immediately refuse.
âThen quickly settle this matter.â Li Duzhi didnât want to go out of his way. The sooner they settled this, the sooner he could go back for a business trip, and he wasnât planning on coming here again.
âOkay, Iâll talk to that person again in the afternoon to discuss this, and we should be able to do it tomorrow.â Wang Hongwei responded.
The man he was talking about was an old man in the Guanâs Village. The old man had a son who worked in Wang Ningkaiâs construction company. Their family also planned to move out of the Guanâs Village. Wang Hongwei and Wang Ningkai discussed how to make the old man help them. It was decided that they would promote the old manâs son to foreman, and his wages would be more than doubled. Now, he managed a team of 20 or 30 people. The old manâs family had benefited, so he promised to help.
In the afternoon, Wang Hongwei ran to the old manâs house.
The next day, the Wang Hongwei trio went to Secretary Guanâs house with the materials. However, before they spoke, Wang Hongwei and Li Duzhi were shocked by Secretary Guanâs first sentence.
âWhat? The north mountain has been contracted?â Wang Hongwei shouted with a trembling voice and a disbelieving expression. Just now he was so full of confidence, and a drop from the cloud made him almost unable to bear it.
âYes, youâre one step too late.â Secretary Guan had a pitiful tone and expression. As for whether it was actually pity for them, everyone knew it well.\nâSecretary Guan, didnât you say that no one had contracted it? Why did this person suddenly come out? What happened?â Wang Hongwei saw that the cooked duck was about to fly, and the shock in his heart could not be described in words.
âYou asked me before, but did not ask again.â Secretary Guan wasnât talking nonsense. Although Papa Wang came to him first, he didnât mention the idea of ââcontracting the north mountain at that time. It was yesterday that he learned they had these intentions.
Wang Hongwei lost his strength and fell back in his chair.
âSecretary Guan, can you tell us who it is?â Li Duzhi was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves. Before, he was not as optimistic as Wang Hongwei had been. Now this result was not completely unexpected, so he soon calmed down and thought of suspicious people.
Even if Secretary Guan didnât want them to succeed, he wouldnât break the jar and give it to other outsiders, so the person who took the first step was most likely from the Guanâs Village. However, Wang Hongwei told him yesterday that the Guanâs Village did not have any buyers, so he wanted to know who it was.
Hearing what he said, Wang Hongwei also looked at Secretary Guan.
âIt doesnât matter if I tell you, this man also knows Brother Wang. He is Guan Maohui.â Secretary Guan knew that sooner or later they would know, and Wang Cheng didnât mean to hide it, so he simply told them.
Guan Maohui?
Li Duzhi was not familiar with this name.
\nâWhere are they?â Wang Hongwei asked, exasperated.
âIs there anything wrong with my dad and my second brother?â Wang Ziyu looked at him, asking vigilantly.
âIâll let you tell me, you just say where they are.â Wang Hongwei was faint with anger. He didnât put Wang Ziyu in his eyes, let alone maintain the good temper and fake mask that he usually disguised himself with.
The more he acted like this, the less likely it was for Wang Ziyu to tell him, âIf uncle says nothing, I canât tell you. Maybe if you come back next time, my dad and second brother will be here.â
Wang Hongwei couldnât catch his breath, but Li Duzhi was smarter. Right now they were begging for help and had to lower their posture, so he explained to her gently, âLittle sister, we just want to ask your father and second brother, there are no other malicious intentions about contracting the mountain. So can you tell us? â
âWell, theyâre over there in the new house.â
Suddenly, it was so simple. The three were stunned. Of course, Wang Ziyu couldnât tell them at first. Her dad and second brother had told her long ago: if the uncle came to find them, tell them what she just did, donât let them know too easily. She wanted to know what they were going to do and had heard the second brotherâs story long ago.
Wang Hongwei didnât have time to talk with Wang Ziyu about her disrespectful behavior towards her elders, and immediately led them to fight in the new house.
