Chapter 309: Coincidence
Translator: Lonelytree
After the eting ended, Li Jianmin invited Qian Guoxin with a smile and said, “Deputy leader Qian, how about we have a al together?”
Qian Guoxin coldly rejected, “Sorry, CEO Li, I have another appointnt.” He left, leaving behind the dark-faced Li Jianmin.
At this mont, Hong Qing ingratiatingly went forward and said, “CEO Li, I’ve reserved a private room at the Gu Family Hotel. Would you be so kind as to have a al together?”
Li Jianmin smiled and said, “It’s hard to decline deputy leader Hong’s invitation.”
Then, the two of them headed towards the Gu Family Hotel.
After Xiao Lingyu received a phone call, her expression imdiately turned cold.
Gong Tianhao was peeling an apple for her. Sensing the change, he asked in puzzlent, “Yu ‘Er, what’s wrong?”
“Qian Yifan just called . He said the tourism developnt proposal of Taoyuan Village has just been approved.
“Taoyuan Village will be demolished. Compensation will be given. Every villager will be given 5000 RMB. At the sa ti, the company will take the farmland with a compensation of 100 RMB per Mu,” Xiao Lingyu said coldly.
When she heard this news, she was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. This was too much.
“Even though they gave compensation, they did not make resettlent arrangents for the villagers. In other words, we’ll get money and nothing else. The land and the house, we lose everything,” Xiao Lingyu summarized.
Before this, reclamation projects were done according to the affected population’s size. Many families would be given a new house and so cash.
But the villagers of Taoyuan Village really got the lowest bargain possible.
Gong Tianhao frowned and comforted her, “Ywer, don’t worry, I’m here…
“TIl take care of all these problems. You’re pregnant. You shouldn’t worry too much.”
At the Yan group in City Z, Yan Siming was a little frustrated.
Ever since his grandfather found out that he liked Xiao Lingyu, other than the incident in the study, he didn’t say anything else.
Eventually, his grandfather gave Yan Siming an out. If Xiao Lingyu was willing to abort the child in her stomach, or she abandoned the child after giving birth, he would still allow Yan Siming to marry Xiao Lingyu.
This condition was obviously a difficult one.
If Xiao Lingyu were willing to give up the child, they wouldn’t be in this state. Plus, he had probed Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu would rather stay single and raise the child on her own.
The only way he could marry Xiao Lingyu was to get her to love him more than she loved the child. It sounded impossible. Regardless, he had to give this a try.
However, things had been really busy at the company recently. Soone had given the order to push him everything to do in the company.
Old Master Yan was supposed to move to Taoyuan Village to be a neighbor with Old Master Gong. However, to prevent his grandson from having an excuse to interact with Xiao Lingyu, he resisted the urge to move.
Yan Siming sighed deeply and said, “This is going to be an arduous journey.”
Xiao Lingyu did not like him, and his family didn’t allow him to like her.
If he really wanted to marry Xiao Lingyu, he would definitely have to balance the relationship between Xiao Lingyu and the Yan family.
Yan Siming did not dare to go to Taoyuan Village. He was afraid that if he did, he would only make his grandfather hate Xiao Lingyu even more.
However, how could he ingratiate himself to Xiao Lingyu if he couldn’t go to Taoyuan Village?
Therefore, he needed an excuse.
Just as Yan Siming was feeling a little frustrated, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Yan Siming frowned slightly. Then, he picked up the phone and said, “Leader Lin, what’s the matter?”
His attitude was indifferent. The other party was clearly trying to curry favor with Yan Siming, The person on the phone said sothing, and Yan Siming grunted, “Fine!”
After putting down the phone, he frowned again and asked in puzzlent, “What exactly is Lin Lihui after?”
A mont later, he called Secretary Wang in and instructed, “Secretary Wang, I’m going out to et Leader Lin. If there’s any other schedule, delay them.”
Secretary Wang nodded and said, “Alright, Chairman Yan.”
Yan Siming stood up, picked up his suit jacket, and walked out.
He drove to a farmhouse in the suburbs. This farmhouse looked nondescript on the outside. It had green brick walls and so carvings on the walls. There were two big red lanterns hanging at the door. Looking from afar, a few big trees filled the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, there seed to be a few ordinary villagers walking back and forth, but their expressions were unusually sharp and vigilant.
In reality, these ordinary people were the security guards.
There was another world after entering the courtyard.
Under the big trees, there were a few tables and chairs. They were all expensive mahogany furniture. High-end tea sets were placed on the tables.
This house was one of those antique buildings with carved railings. It looked really beautiful.
There were tall, beautiful waitresses in cheongsam.
The parking lot was almost full.
If one looked carefully, one would find that these license plates were very familiar. Most of them belonged to powerful people.
Yan Siming swept his eyes across the parking lot and saw a parking space. He imdiately parked the car there.
A beautiful woman in a cheongsam quickly ran over and bent down to open the car door for him. Her voice was a little coquettish as she said, “Chairman Yan, you haven’t been here for a long ti!” She leaned forward to give him a hug. However, Yan Siming turned his body to the side and asked directly,
“Where is Leader Lin?”
The woman seed to be a little unhappy that she didn’t achieve her goal, but she still said enthusiastically, “He’s in the Feng Hua Xue Yue Room. Chairman Yan, let take you there.”
Yan Siming had always been very generous in the past. Every ti he ca here, he would give large tips to the waiters. Therefore, the people there liked to serve Yan Siming.
Yan Siming didn’t even look at her and said coldly, “No need. I’ll go by myself.”
Tong Wanwan was stunned. After Yan Siming left, she stomped her feet and said, “What’s up with this Yan Siming recently? He stopped coming, and when he’s here, he doesn’t want my service anymore?”
At this ti, a younger woman walked over and asked carefully, “Sister Wanwan, isn’t that Chairman Yan? He hasn’t been here for a long ti already.”
In the past, Yan Siming would co here every few days. The minimal expense here was high, but it was nothing for Yan Siming. He was also very generous.
Ih.
This woman looked into the distance, and her eyes lit up.
Tong Wanwan glanced at the woman next to her and said coldly, “Tong Xiaowan, don’t think that I don’t know what you’re planning. Let tell you. As long as I’m here, you won’t be able to achieve your goal.” With that, she left proudly.
Tong Xiaowan pouted and said with disdain, “Tsk. She’s already no spring chicken, but she’s still fighting for custors with the rest of us…”
Yan Siming didn’t know or even care about the conflict he caused.
He ca to the Feng Hua Xue Yue Room and pushed the door open. Other than Lin Lihui, there were other influential figures in City Z. Each of them had a woman by their side.
‘When these people saw Yan Siming co in, they greeted him ingratiatingly, “Chairman Yan!”
Yan Siming greeted them with a nod.
With his current status, he didn’t need to curry favor with anyone. However, he also understood the need not to make unnecessary enemies, especially with so petty people.
Once Yan Siming sat down, Tong Wanwan ca in and started to join them. The atmosphere in the private room was rather harmonious.
By then, Lin Lihui was already a little drunk. When he saw Yan Siming, he said, “Chairman Yan, two days ago, Liao Guohui from the Global Tourism Developnt Company told that he has his eyes on another tourism developnt site…”
Yan Siming was confused. He still didn’t know why Lin Lihui called him over. In any case, he was irritated, so he ca to relax.
Lin Lihui continued, “I heard from Liao Guohui that the location is good. Soone has planted strawberries there and sold them for a good price. If he contracted that place…”
‘When Yan Siming heard strawberries, his eyes beca stern. He put down his wine glass and directly interrupted Lin Lihui’s words, asking, “Leader Lin, what did you say just now? A place to plant strawberries?”
Could it be the place he was thinking of?
If it really was that place…
Aruthless glint flashed across Yan Siming’s eyes!
