Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Set up a seven-star stove, boil the three rivers in a copper pot, set up a table of eight immortals, and entertain sixteen parties. All the guests are guests. It’s all based on their mouths. When they meet, they smile. Don’t think about it later. Once people leave, the tea will be cold. What do you mean by auspicious?”
When they arrived at the small house again, there was a fat man in the office of the Jin Hai Land Bureau. He was humming a tune and looked very happy.
Jiang Yueming turned around and saw that Li Zhengkang only lowered his head and chuckled, indicating that he was hiding.
Jiang Yueming knocked on the door and quickly put on a flattering smile. He bowed and said, “Chief Zhang… I am extremely impressed by your singing of ‘Battle of Wisdom’! If Yueming could sing one-thousandth of the song, he would have gone on stage to sing!”
Initially, Chief Zhang was still smiling, but when he saw Jiang Yueming enter, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “President Jiang, why are you so clingy? You come into my room three times a day. What, you came to visit my thatched cottage three times?”
“That Chief Zhang… This time, it’s our chairman who wants to meet you personally… Chief Zhang, I’m just an employee. How can I be sure of the number you just mentioned?”
“The main character is here?”
“Alright, alright, alright. Then we can chat.”
Chief Zhang suddenly laughed. When he saw Xu Wenping approaching, he couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. In his imagination, the president of Imperial Corporation was at least a middle-aged man, if not an old man.
When he saw Xu Wenping, he couldn’t help but look back. Xu Wenping laughed and said, “Chief Zhang, stop looking. I’m the chairman of the Imperial Corporation. My surname is Xu, Xu Wenping.”
“Boss Xu, you’re young and promising!”
Chief Zhang sighed in admiration. “Good, good, good. Isn’t it easier to talk to young people? Come, come, sit!”
Chief Zhang’s attitude toward Xu Wenping was obviously more respectful to Jiang Yueming. When Xu Wenping sat down, Chief Zhang slowly smiled and said, “Xiao Jiang should have told you, right?”
“I did. You said you wanted 50%.”
Chief Zhang’s expression changed slightly. After all, this kind of thing could only be hinted at. How could it be mentioned in person? Chief Zhang wanted to close the door and talk, but Xu Wenping waved his hand and said, “Alright, Chief Zhang, you can see that I’m a young man.”
“I’ve told you clearly that I built this film studio for nothing but to woo a female celebrity. It doesn’t matter how much money I give you. I’ll give you 80%. Can you help me build the film city?”
Xu Wenping raised his hand to light a cigarette, looking like a rich second-generation heir. Not only was Jiang Yueming slightly stunned, but Li Zhengkang, who was peeking outside, almost laughed out loud.
Needless to say, Chief Zhang was also shocked by Xu Wcnping’s method of killing an old master with a random punch.
You talk about money with me, I won’t talk about money with you!
“That’s why, Chief Zhang, don’t be so clingy. Even if I don’t earn a single cent, should I fix this thing?”
“If you could f*cking repair it, would I still need your broken land? If you fix it, I’ll just buy it!”
Xu Wenping continued to speak coldly, “I’ll give you a bottom line. I’ll cover the cost of 60%. I can only give you 40%. If you agree, then do it. If you don’t agree, I’ll go to another city to repair it!”
Chief Zhang never expected that an experienced player like him would be suppressed by a young man.
He was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He slammed the table and roared, “Surnamed Xu, did I give you face?”
“Get lost! Get lost!”
“The two of you, get out of this office immediately! When you learn how to be a good person and when you learn how not to cause trouble, come and find me again!”
Needless to say, Xu Wenping was shocked by Chief Zhang’s angry look.
In the end, he could not help but sigh in his heart. Although this chaotic fist could show off for a moment, it was still not enough to defeat the old master!
That was true.
How was the project going to proceed with 60% of the cost?
He was bragging, but he didn’t have to bring such a thing.
However, at this moment, an amiable voice suddenly said, “Aiya, Chief Zhang, calm down. These children won’t cause trouble, but I will!”
“Come, come, come. Have a cigarette.”
Chief Zhang was still angry, so he took the cigarette after being comforted. However, just as he lit it, he threw it on the ground and said, “F*ck, what rubbish?”
“Hehe… It’s my fault. It’s my fault. This is a pack of Jinjiang cigarettes that costs 16 yuan. Don’t all the people in Jin Hai City smoke this? Chief Zhang, what do you usually smoke?”
“D*mn it, cigarettes below Huazi can’t enter at all… You… Why does your classmate look a little familiar?”
As Chief Zhang spoke, he looked at Li Zhengkang and sized him up. He couldn’t help but scratch his head in confusion.
“I’m just an ordinary citizen! It seems like Chief Zhang is not familiar with me? Should I contact your bureau? I feel that your director is more concerned about the citizens of Jin Hai than you are!”
Li Zhengkang’s tone was very gentle.
However, the more he listened, the more he saw Li Zhengkang’s office attire. The clerk also wore the same outfit, but for some reason, his aura was different from Li Zhengkang’s.
“Why are you calling the director?”
“If you don’t want to call me, should I?”
As he spoke, Li Zhengkang’s expression gradually changed from the gentle spring to the harsh winter. He picked up the phone in the office. After picking up the call, he said softly, “Old Wang, if I hear you drinking and singing outside now, I probably won’t be able to suppress my anger.”
“…Li… City Lord Li! Reporting to the mayor, I’m reviewing documents in my office. Oh, what brings you here?”
Li Zhengkang gritted his teeth in a low voice. “Come down and talk. I’m in your Chief Zhang’s office. That can blow me over… Isn’t it the evil spirit of your Jin Hai Land Bureau?”
“City Lord! I’ll be right there!”
When he heard the word ‘City Lord’ on the phone, Chief Zhang’s face turned pale and he could not care less.
“City… City… You, you, you… Are you City Lord Li?”
Li Zhengkang also lit a cigarette at this time. The smoke fermented in his throat. Li Zhengkang felt more uncomfortable than the grass on his ancestral grave being pulled out. He gulped down the smoke and swallowed his saliva.
In just a minute, the director of Jin Hai Land Bureau rushed down and immediately greeted Li Zhengkang. “City Lord! This subordinate greets the City Lord!”
“I’m nothing!”
“Come,” Li Zhengkang shouted, “greet your Chief Zhang first.”
“The students behind. Go and bring me the relevant documents regarding the land approval with the Imperial Corporation and the bidding documents.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
When the students behind heard this, they hurriedly went over.
At this time, although Director Wang was fuming, he actually bowed and smiled.. “Chief Zhang, this subordinate greets Chief Zhang!”
