Chapter 277: Everyone cherishes the city! !
But when I said it, it felt really wrong.
My uncle was a man of great influence throughout his life. In the first half of his life, he could be described as having everything go smoothly and dominating the entire port city, becoming the number one real estate tycoon, a title he truly deserved.
In the second half of his life, he became even more shrewd and cunning; how could he possibly be easily fooled?
But why did she specifically choose Chen Le?
What's so great about this guy?
It's a complete paper tiger!
Strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
It looks nice but is useless!
"Alright, alright, Minmin, just wait as he said, don't be in such a hurry..."
"You have to understand, he's so young, yet he's worth billions. That's not all luck; it's all based on his ability."
"As a shareholder, he won the largest piece of land among these three plots through competition."
"What's most terrifying is that he also owns 30% of the land on the Left Bank and Right Bank, which are controlled by the other two bosses!!"
"That alone is enough to leave people speechless."
"Just think about it, how many children from impoverished families have actually succeeded by starting from scratch?"
"Even if there is only one, they are the sons of a unicorn, one in ten thousand!"
After Mr. Li finished speaking, he slowly got up and patted his lower back.
"You little rascal, you've been quite busy lately, take this time to rest!"
"Tonight, go with him and broaden your horizons."
"I believe Chen Le will not let me down."
"Minmin, you need to control your temper. All my words are useless. Once you see it with your own eyes, you'll understand everything..."
Sometimes, teaching someone else is useless!
"Practice makes perfect; you'll learn it in one go."
When Mr. Li finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and smiled with relief.
Li Huimin was speechless and could only pout and pat the sofa with her hand.
But in his mind, he was thinking about what kind of person Chen Le was, and why his second uncle could trust him so much.
As for tonight, how about we go see it?
or……
Let's go!
I don't know whether it's a pleasant surprise or a shock.
Never mind... we'll have the results tonight.
……
Time soon came to evening.
Night fell, and darkness gradually descended.
In Mangcun village, fewer and fewer people are moving around.
The streets were deserted, but brightly lit.
Chen Le strolled leisurely down the street with a smile on his face.
Along the way, I heard many dogs barking and roosters crowing.
Looking up, I saw an old man leading a water buffalo back from farming.
After entering the village, Chen Le inquired around and arrived at the village chief's house.
Village chief Zhao Qiangsheng wields absolute power.
A Maybach and a Range Rover were parked at the entrance, exuding an unparalleled aura of power.
It was like two great lions guarding the mansion.
These two luxury cars are a better indicator of wealth than two large lions.
Chen Le stood at the door and glanced inside. Just then, Zhao Qiangsheng and a thin young man walked out chatting and laughing.
The two men offered each other cigarettes and lit them.
Suddenly, Chen Le smiled slightly and spoke.
"Village Chief Zhao, I've heard that the people of Mang Village are very hospitable. Why didn't you greet me when you saw me?"
Zhao Qiangsheng, who was looking to the side, was startled. He frowned slightly before turning around to look at Chen Le.
"Hey, Chief Engineer Chen?! What brings you here!"
"If it's about that factory thing, I think you shouldn't bother. We've already reported it to the authorities!"
"I reckon the pollution control bureau, food and drug administration, and disease control department will be coming to talk to you tomorrow!"
"You should save your explanation for them; you don't need to come looking for me!"
Zhao Qiangsheng started to make sarcastic remarks.
"No, no, no, I'm not here to discuss work today, I'm here to freeload a meal."
Chen Le grinned as he spoke.
"Chief Engineer Chen, what kind of trick are you playing?"
Zhao Qiangsheng sneered inwardly, but outwardly he pretended to welcome them warmly: "Want to eat? Sure, I welcome you with open arms! After all, you've invested a lot of money in us, so even if we're not friends, we still have a relationship."
"Let me make this clear from the start: if your construction team is willing to stop construction, make up for the losses in our village, and treat the villagers better, I'd be willing to do anything, even treat my house as a canteen, let alone just a meal."
"Ah, you are truly a good village chief who cares about the people's livelihood. I feel ashamed."
Chen Le hurriedly cupped his hands in a gesture of apology, pretending to be very guilty.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately spat out a contemptuous rebuke in his heart.
That Zhao Qiangsheng... he has absolutely no shame.
They portray themselves as noble and aloof, but behind the scenes, they do truly inhuman things.
"Alright, there's no point in saying more. Since Chief Engineer Chen is already here, please come in and have a seat."
Zhao Qiangsheng waved and led Chen Le into his home.
As soon as Chen Le entered the courtyard, the scene before him made him pause slightly in surprise.
This is a luxurious, floor-to-ceiling apartment, so exquisitely decorated that it's hard to believe it's located in a small village.
The marble floor was as smooth as a mirror, and the crystal chandelier emitted a soft glow.
Several paintings and calligraphy works by famous artists are hanging on the wall, and the sofa and coffee table are imported high-end furniture.
A black piano sits in one corner of the living room, adding to the elegant ambiance.
Chen Le stared in astonishment, praising the sight as he walked.
"Village Chief Zhao, your house is really beautiful."
"It's incredible that such houses could be built in such a remote place!"
Zhao Qiangsheng smiled calmly, seemingly already used to such praise.
"Hehe, you flatter me. It's all show and no substance. Unlike you, Mr. Chen, who is so young yet worth billions, you are a true big shot."
"What I have to offer is truly unworthy of your attention."
Chen Le waved his hand and chatted with him casually.
As they entered the courtyard, the gaunt man who had initially been chatting and laughing with Zhao Qiangsheng remained standing to the side, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
"Honey, someone's here. Come out and greet them!"
Zhao Qiangsheng gave a soft summons.
A beautiful young woman with a good figure and exquisite attire walked out of the house.
She wore a silk cheongsam, adorned with jewels, and was extremely well-maintained with an elegant demeanor.
Zhao Qiangsheng introduced her simply: "This is my wife, Lin Wan'er."
"This is Chief Engineer Chen, the person in charge of the San'an development."
Lin Wan'er greeted Chen Le with a smile, her voice gentle and charming: "It's such an honor for Mr. Chen to have dinner at our home. I'll go prepare some snacks to accompany your drinks and properly entertain you."
Chen Le quickly waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, we're just here for a simple home-cooked meal, don't make it so complicated."
"How can that be done?"
Lin Wan'er smiled, revealing a charming smile, "President Chen has come all this way, we can't afford to neglect his needs."
"We're bringing out all of Mang Village's specialty dishes, and the aged wines we haven't had in ages!"
After saying that, she enthusiastically went into the kitchen.
Soon, several cups of fragrant tea were served, followed by several plates of authentic farm-style dishes.
Chen Le ate heartily without any hesitation, clearly very satisfied with the food.
Zhao Qiangsheng and the gaunt man stared at him silently, their eyes filled with a profound meaning.
