Yi Ziyuan watched the young man ponder, not daring to disturb him, and waited quietly by his side.
In fact, given his status as Yi Ziyuan, while not the absolute top-tier tycoon in the affluent Linzhou, his net worth of billions was enough to place him in the upper echelons of Zhonghai.
Even when facing Su Yun, the chairperson of Hua Mao, he would carry himself with an air of arrogance, but…
Before this young man, he found himself unable to muster even a shred of arrogance, for no other reason than that this young man… was named Fang Mingzhe.
Fang Mingzhe, within the vast Fang family, among the numerous disciples of the third generation, was considered an exceptionally outstanding individual. What was even rarer was that he was a direct descendant of the Fang family.
The Fang Group had established a colossal business empire, with a multitude of family members, but most were from collateral branches. Direct descendants were exceedingly few.
Although personal ability was highly valued within the Fang family, someone like Fang Mingzhe, possessing both capability and background, was naturally given more importance than other collateral disciples.
This was why, in a prominent family like the Fang’s, which produced abundant talent, a young man in his twenties like Fang Mingzhe was appointed to lead Zhongtian Group and venture into the real estate sector.
“According to the share transfer agreement, Su Yun will transfer the funds to your account within fifteen days. If so, it will take her nearly two weeks to gather this sum.”
“And for her to commence construction on that piece of land, even after accounting for preliminary preparations, it will be at least a month later. By then, I’ll have the demolition households on the land delay her further, hmph…”
Fang Mingzhe mused aloud to Yi Ziyuan, outlining his plans.
“Young Master Fang, that… I just received a text message. The funds have arrived…” Yi Ziyuan felt reluctant to interrupt Fang Mingzhe’s calculations, but he had to speak.
“Arrived?”
Fang Mingzhe glanced at Yi Ziyuan, whose expression was slightly stiff. He couldn’t help but pause, then after a while, he continued, “It’s been less than an hour since you signed the agreement, and it’s already arrived?”
Yi Ziyuan could only nod.
“It seems the Su family was well-prepared,” Yi Ziyuan chuckled lightly after recovering.
“Indeed. It seems it will be more difficult than we imagined to obstruct the commencement of Tianxiu Lake’s construction,” Yi Ziyuan remarked.
“Difficult? Haha, you underestimate me, Fang Mingzhe, too much. Dealing with a mere Su family, how can that be called difficult?”
“Even if she has ample funds, so what? Setting aside whether she can resolve the issues with the demolition households at the construction site, even if she does, and construction proceeds smoothly, I, Fang Mingzhe, will still find a way to make her unable to continue,” Fang Mingzhe stated confidently.
With their family’s connections across various industries in China, they could easily disrupt the supply of several materials to Hua Mao. Wouldn’t Su Yun then have to beg him, beg Zhongtian Group, to cooperate?
Yes, Fang Mingzhe had calculated all this, not out of revenge for Hua Mao refusing to cooperate with Zhongtian. After all, he wasn’t a hot-headed youngster. He knew that making money was the bottom line.
Therefore, only by pressuring Su Yun could he possibly get a foothold in the Tianxiu Lake project.
Hearing this, Yi Ziyuan’s stiffened face relaxed, and a faint smile appeared.
…
After resolving the equity issue, Su Yun swiftly devised a construction plan: a week before New Year’s Eve, all personnel must be in place, and the construction site must be completely under control.
However, when Hua Mao’s workers went to clear the site of demolition households who were still refusing to leave, they were beaten up, and many demolition machines were smashed.
It was then they realized that those were no demolition households at all. They were thugs hired by someone, each looking burly and radiating a menacing aura. When they fought, they were incredibly fierce. Ordinary security guards couldn’t withstand even one punch from those thugs, and could only flee in disarray.
Seeing that the security guards were ineffective, Su Yun decided to personally take charge, bringing a group of engineers to survey the construction site.
Upon receiving this news, Fang Mingzhe couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh: “Hmph, these are all hired muscle I paid a heavy price for, elites from the Fengyun Hall under the Hongmen. How can these riff-raff possibly deal with them?”
“Su Yun is preparing to go to the construction site personally? Heh heh, perhaps it’s time for the Fengyun Hall fellows to give Su Yun an unforgettable lesson?” Fang Mingzhe sneered. However, he only thought about it. If he went too far, there would be absolutely no possibility of future cooperation.
On this day, Su Yun arrived at the construction site with her engineers. The vast plot of land was now completely enclosed. Apart from two or three scattered houses remaining in the center of the land that had not yet been demolished, all other residences had already been razed to the ground.
And now, in front of those few remaining houses, stood a group of muscular, burly men. Even in the biting cold of winter, they were still wearing thin black t-shirts, seemingly unafraid of the cold, wantonly displaying their well-developed muscles.
Seeing Su Yun and a group of engineers approaching, the burly men clenched their fists, appearing quite excited.
“Get out of the way. I won’t say this a second time,” Su Yun walked over and said to a burly man standing at the very front.
“Heh heh, such a bold tone. We brothers are standing here. Let’s see what you can do,” the burly man in front sneered, completely disregarding Su Yun.
The engineers and workers at the construction site watched this scene, all worrying about Su Yun. Those thugs wouldn’t care about Su Yun’s status. If Su Yun lost her temper and acted, she might suffer a great loss.
Lin Xi, seeing the menacing burly men, felt a little nervous and wanted to go and advise Chairman Su.
However, before she could even take a step, she heard a crisp sound. Then, it echoed across the spacious construction site.
Su Yun raised her hand and slapped out. Su Yun, weighing less than a hundred pounds, actually sent the burly man, who was nearly six feet three inches tall and weighed over two hundred pounds, flying several meters away with a single slap. He then crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
Everyone present widened their eyes, staring at the scene in disbelief.
Was this possible?
Su Yun was now a true Xiantian Grandmaster level expert. This burly man only had the strength of ‘Neijing Yuanman’ (Complete Inner Strength). Slapping him away was only because Su Yun had become accustomed to her body’s strength during this period and could control it.
If it had been right after Su Yun’s breakthrough, when her control over her own strength was not yet mature, such a slap would have likely killed him.
A martial artist at the ‘Neijing Yuanman’ level was no different from an ordinary person in the face of a Xiantian Grandmaster.
“Yang Ge…”
The many subordinates behind the burly man were also greatly shocked. They quickly helped the burly man up, looking at Su Yun in disbelief, and seemed hesitant to attack.
After all, their Yang Ge was a true elite of the Fengyun Hall, with a strength that had reached ‘Neijing Yuanman’, just one step away from cultivating true Qi and becoming a True Qi Master.
There were only a dozen or so True Qi Masters in the entire Fengyun Hall, and each of them controlled the territory of at least one city, holding a respectable position within the Fengyun Hall.
And now, their Yang Ge, who was just one step away from becoming a True Qi Master, had been sent flying by a single slap from a seemingly slender woman. How could they not be shocked?
