Part Two: 'Great Sugar of the East' Chapter 281: T

r with fury.“Where were you all day You didn't reply to my messages and your phone was even off.”Shu Tinglan lowered her head, not wanting to look at him. How did he end up with Wen JianZuo Yu'an's an...Gu Ruandong is now a true 24 filial husband. He goes home on time every day after work, and even for necessary social engagements, he asks Xiao Cai to arrange them during the day as much as possible. 。

I don't touch cigarettes or alcohol, and my biggest entertainment is playing billiards.

Such a state of life, even three years ago, he would have thought it unbelievable and impossible. 。But now he relishes it, of course willingly, and secondly, recently YaoYao has been stricter lately, especially after seeing the messages from Yixin on his work phone. He's questioned him harshly even if he comes home one minute late. 。Of course, she wouldn't admit that the reason was to find inspiration for acting, because recently she had taken on a family ethics drama and played the role of a wife whose husband cheated. She tried to get into character in advance to adapt 。Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He likes her no matter what she's like. 。Before, when I didn't care about him, I thought she had a broad mind and lived transparently; now that I do care, I think this is her loving herself and caring about her own performance. 。When he told Zhao Tingxing that they would talk about it at noon tomorrow, he thought he would inevitably be ridiculed by Zhao Tingxing again. Unexpectedly, to his surprise, Zhao Tingxing expressed understanding and said that family came first. 。Gu Ruandong looked at him in surprise. Zhao Tingxing's ability to say this was even more unusual than if he hadn't gone to the club, so he really looked at him for the first time and found that his ruffian air was still there, but the fierceness and arrogance in his eyebrows had diminished a lot. 。They have always been rivals and friends, even though he knocked Zhao Tingxing down this time, he never underestimated him. He treated him the same way as before. 。When it comes to bandits, Zhao Tingxing is undoubtedly a true one. 。The next day at noon, when they met as scheduled, he immediately asked Gu Ruandong for the management of a commercial building in their city center. 。"I checked, among the commercial properties under the Gu family's holdings, only the commercial area in the city center, which has reached the end of its original cooperation agreement, is currently up for grabs." 。The tone is domineering, like you have to give it even if you don't want to, and you have to give it even if you can't. 。

"You're blatantly robbing..." 。I will not cooperate with my underlings. 。Gu Ruandong's words were harsh, or perhaps he intentionally wanted to provoke him. 。"If you don't cooperate with us, who else will you cooperate with Your previous partners have caused you so much trouble these past few years. They are all soft-hearted and get bullied by merchants every day." 。That business district was developed by the Gu Group and is also an asset under their banner. However, after development, it has been consistently operated by a certain brand responsible for attracting investment and managing daily operations. 。But in recent years, several well-known brand merchants have repeatedly demanded reduced rent, claiming that they were the main drivers of traffic for the business district. The original partners kept making concessions, resulting in rent reductions and a vicious cycle. They became unsustainable, with annual payments to Gu Shi being delayed. As a result, after the cooperation expired, Gu Shi decided to find new partners. 。Zhao Tingxing finished speaking and then looked down on the Gu family: "You guys had problems with your vision when you were looking for partners. This commercial district is in the city center, a prime location. Those traffic merchants really think that their customers are brought by them If they don't want to rent, there are plenty of brands who would be willing to squeeze through the door to move in." 。"Besides, they shouldn't have been allowed to form that so-called merchants' committee in the first place. They claimed it was about democracy and equality and providing a platform for dialogue, but in reality, it just created more trouble for them. When they needed to stand firm, they didn't." 。"Zhao Tingxing was determined to manage the operation of this business district, anyway, whether Gu Ruandong agreed or not, he had to agree." 。。"You're so freaking lame." 。"You're not being very polite when you ask someone to do something for you." 。"Line by line, please help me with this, I'll treat you to dinner." 。I'm broke now, and I can only afford this meal from you. 。Although Zhao Tingxing said so, after returning to the company, he still asked his subordinates to prepare a business plan according to his requirements and sent it to Xiao Cai and others. 。Not a moment's rest, Senzhou stayed for two days. After seeing Gu Ruandong, he flew to the Southwest headquarters again. 。That's his stronghold, it'll be easier to get things done there, but it will also require a stronger mindset. 。Out of sight, out of mind. All that past warmth or flattery has now turned into veiled mockery. 。He wasn't a good person either. When he was in power before, he didn't spare anyone trouble. This is one time, that is another. Luckily, he's a goal-oriented person who only cares about achieving his objectives and doesn't pay attention to these people. 。This trip back to the southwest, the most important thing is to see Xu Ze Fang and use up all the connections I had before. 。

Xu Zefang has some similarities in personality with him, but Xu Zefang doesn't have as much ambition. He has been following Gu Ruandong steadily for so many years, so his career has developed steadily without any major storms. 。Upon seeing Zhao Tingxing come to him, Xu ZeFang was surprisingly generous and said directly: "About that piece of land you sold me before, just take it back. Return the money I paid for it, and I won't ask for any share of the project's profits. Fair enough, right"

Zhao Tingxing scoffed: "I never really cared for that piece of land in the first place. Now that it's been affected by the earthquake, it's worthless>>> 。"Could you be any more of a jerk"

Xu Ze Fang said, "Why would I harm you The Gu family is genuinely developing tourism in the county. My sister-in-law's movie after its release also had a significant promotional effect on the local area, coupled with the tourist zone established after the earthquake, the prospects are very good." 。"The prospects are good, so I won't be stealing your business. Once you're finished building it, if you're willing to let me manage it for you, thank you in advance." 。"Xu ZeFang was so angry he nearly blew up: "You're already like this, and you still pick and choose" 。That's exactly why we need to be picky. 。"I don't dare to rush in like I used to. Before, I was fearless and reckless, even if I lost everything, it didn't matter." 。But now I don't dare, every step is carefully calculated. 。And nowadays, in the current market situation, he has neither the financial backing nor the interest to develop real estate projects. 。"Currently, I don't have any projects that I can offer you." 。However, I heard that Lu's Financial Building just finished construction. Their company doesn't have the energy to attract investment themselves, so they plan to bring in companies like yours to be responsible for the entire building's operations and management. 。I'll contact you in the next couple of days and we can have a meal together. 。Thank you. 。Actually, this is Zhao Ting's true purpose for coming to find Xu ZeFang. 。Of course, he knew about Lu's financial building. However, the two of them had a past grievance and their several appointments had all fallen through. That's why he took a roundabout way to find Xu Zefang instead. 。"Just wait a moment, Mr. Lu is hard to get a hold of." 。Zhao Tingxing had mentally prepared himself and was not in a hurry. It just so happened that he was returning to the southwest and could take care of some work there. 。After returning home in the evening, I remembered that I hadn't contacted Han Zhaoyi for two days, so I sent a video request to Han Li. 。their Moments hadn't been opened up. 。After adding each other on WeChat, Zhou Ming also finished changing the tire and quickly got in his car to move it to the side of the road. 。"Mr. Shu, let's conn...
