Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 779 - 778 (Part 2) Counterattack
Chapter 779: Chapter 778 (Part 2) Counterattack
Zhang Xiaoshan had arranged a banquet at the White Dragon Farmhouse to entertain Jiang Hanwen and his group.
"Not bad, this taste is indeed good, no wonder it sells well."
"I think your White Dragon fruits and vegetables have every chance to be a nationwide hit, if there are any difficulties, feel free to mention them."
Zhang Xiaoshan showed an expression of difficulty.
"Uncle Jiang, there is indeed something difficult on my side, and I need to ask for your help."
"Oh?"
"Let’s hear it."
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately said.
"I have now integrated the entire fruit and vegetable market of Yang City, the channels are there, and so is the production base, but there are still big problems with transportation. You’ve seen the road condition in our village, there isn’t even a bridge. Every time we transport goods, we need to carry them by hand to the entrance of the village, then ferry them across the river, after that, we use small agricultural vehicles to haul them to the main road, before transferring to larger trucks."
"It’s a complicated process that takes too long, and the frequent handling causes significant damage, so, you see..."
Hearing this, Jiang Hanwen thought for a moment.
"How about this, I’ll work on getting a secondary road built for your village and then a big bridge."
"Really?"
Zhang Xiaoshan instantly stood up, excited.
"It’s my responsibility to do so, just in time there’s a rural development plan from above, I’ll go back and have my people check the specifics."
"However..."
At this point, Jiang Hanwen changed the subject.
"I can definitely apply for the policy for you, but our system has a very complicated procedure for getting things done, from the project approval, to the tender, and then to the actual start of construction, it’s a lengthy process, I estimate it will take at least six months."
"Six months, isn’t that too long? This will delay a lot of things."
Zhang Xiaoshan was a bit anxious.
Jiang Hanwen then said,
"I do have a solution, you could advance the funds, consider it a loan from the government, to get the project started, and then when the funds from above are available, I’ll reimburse you."
"Alternatively, you can begin with a simple pedestrian bridge and a county road standard highway to ensure normal traffic."
"Dad, what you’re suggesting is simply not feasible. Even for a simple road and bridge, you’re talking about tens of millions. Where’s Little Shan going to find that kind of money?" Jiang Man interjected, her words full of protection for Zhang Xiaoshan.
Jiang Hanwen was taken aback.
He was not aware of the ambiguous relationship between Zhang Xiaoshan and Jiang Man and found his daughter’s reaction somewhat strange.
"I mean, how can you expect a private individual to pay for such a project?"
Jiang Man, with flushed cheeks, forcefully explained.
However, Jiang Hanwen did not think too much of it and said directly,
"Then how about this, the day after tomorrow, we have an investor cocktail party in Yang City. There will be many major investors coming."
"Dr. Zhang, come and I’ll introduce you to a few big bosses; maybe someone will want to invest."
"Okay."
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately agreed.
It was a not-to-be-missed opportunity.
"Alright, let’s leave it at that for today, let’s go."
After another round of pleasantries, they saw off Jiang Hanwen and his group.
"Little Shan, did I just hear Vice Chairman Jiang call the city mayor ’Dad’?"
Yu Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment before asking Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.
"Yes, the mayor of Jiang City is Jiang Man’s father. He fell seriously ill before, and I saved him a couple of days ago. This time he probably came to give his thanks."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Yu Xiuxiu’s expression grew even cloudier.
"Vice Chairman Jiang is beautiful and noble, and she has a powerful father, plus you are their family’s lifesaver. If you could marry Vice Chairman Jiang, then your future would surely be limitless."
"Unlike me, I can’t help you with anything, I would only hold you back"
As she spoke, Yu Xiuxiu’s eyes began to moisten.
"Sis, what are you talking about? You are my closest person, and that will never change, no matter what happens. Besides, do you think I am the kind of man who lives off a woman?"
"Don’t overthink it."
Yu Xiuxiu pursed her lips and said nothing, but the thought that had always been in her mind became even clearer.
...
Meanwhile, at the Wanshan Hotel, the chairman’s office director Gong Yuhua was watching a movie with great pleasure.
His mood was absolutely delightful.
Based on the time, White Dragon Farmhouse should have already been closed down by now, right?
"You little brat, trying to fight me? You’ll see what’s coming."
"I’ll be waiting for you to come crawling on your knees, begging for mercy."
Gong Yuhua’s eyes were filled with malicious intent.
"Boss, it’s not good, the Business Inspection Department is here."
Just then, the female assistant rushed in frantically.
"What are you panicking about? It’s just a trivial matter. Who’s here?"
"Oh, is it Feng Dazhi? Heh, he must be here to bring me good news."
He excitedly rose from his boss chair and rushed out to welcome them.
But as soon as he reached the door, he saw Fu Wei and some uniformed business inspectors.
"Cousin, why are you here?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Fu Wei, he was utterly bewildered.
"What, who was supposed to be here?"
Fu Wei had a cold expression on his face.
"Hehe, nobody, nobody. Xiaojuan, hurry up and arrange a table of food and drinks for my cousin."
Gong Yuhua was still trying to joke around.
"No need."
But Fu Wei simply waved his hand dismissively and said sternly.
"I am here on official business. We can discuss everything right here. Eating and drinking is unnecessary."
"Hey, cousin, what are you doing?"
Gong Yuhua tried to reach for Fu Wei’s arm but was heartlessly pushed away.
"Don’t call me cousin. Considering we’re relatives, I’ve helped you out a lot normally. Even when you bullied others under my name, I tolerated it, but you actually had the audacity to collude with staff and defraud others."
"You’re despicable. I don’t acknowledge you as a relative."
"Me, who did I defraud?"
"I ask you, was it you who sent Feng Dazhi to cause trouble in White Dragon Village?"
"No, not at all!"
Gong Yuhua was taken aback, wondering how Fu Wei could know about this. He denied it.
"Hmph, whether you admit it or not doesn’t matter. He’s already been caught and he’ll surely spill everything about you. You’re going to be the next one in trouble. You want to die, fine, but don’t involve me."
"Caught? How was Feng Dazhi caught?"
This news struck Gong Yuhua like a bolt out of the blue.
"And whose fault do you think that is? Did you not inquire about who’s behind Zhang Xiaoshan before recklessly making a move? Aren’t you just asking for trouble?"
"Enough, I don’t want to waste my breath on you. I’m here to issue you a business suspension and rectification notice."
"Wanshan Hotel is suspected of illegal operations and is ordered to suspend business for one month."
A notice bearing a large red stamp was thrown in front of Gong Yuhua.
"Suspend business for a month?"
"Cousin, what are you doing? We’re family, can’t we talk this over?"
Gong Yuhua was close to tears.
But Fu Wei did not give any face.
"I told you, I don’t have a fool of a relative like you. The mess you made, you can eat the bitter fruit yourself, but don’t drag me down with you."
"Right, there’s also a fine of two hundred thousand. Pay up within three days."
Finished speaking, Fu Wei strode off with his men in a huff.
"What, has Fu Wei gone mad?"
Gong Yuhua was completely unable to grasp what was happening.
He had just returned to the office and hadn’t even sat down when the assistant ran in again.
"It’s not good, boss, our foot massage and wellness department has been raided, and they caught someone providing special services. The security officers are apprehending people right now."
"What?"
Gong Yuhua’s mental state truly collapsed.
Why does it feel like when it rains, it pours?
