On the other side.
Zhao Group.
Zhao Yuan sat leisurely in his boss chair, holding his phone, while his pretty secretary massaged his shoulders behind him.
After a few beeps.
Sun Sihai's booming laughter came through the phone: "Brother Zhao, why are you calling me today? Could it be that you have some good business to introduce me to?"
"Brother Si, I'm not calling you for business this time, but about your ex-sister-in-law," Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"As far as I know, your ex-sister-in-law is going to lease out the tofu shop on the first floor, and the person renting it is a man, an admirer from before."
Sun Sihai was furious: "Is that guy eyeing my ex-wife?"
He was an extremely possessive man.
He Shan Shan was his woman one day, and his woman for a lifetime.
Anyone who got too close to He Shan Shan, he considered to be cuckolding him.
"I don't know about that, I just wanted to remind Brother Si," Zhao Yuan didn't say too much. He knew Sun Sihai was naturally suspicious, and it was enough to hint at some things.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhao. I won't let that guy gain a foothold with my ex-wife." Sun Sihai's tone revealed immense rage, and he planned to handle his current affairs quickly and return to Jizhou.
After hanging up the phone.
A cold sneer appeared on Zhao Yuan's face.
"Chen Nan, Chen Nan, you want to compete with me? Can you compete with me?"
Zhao Yuan also had connections in prison, so he naturally heard that Chen Nan had taken an old Chinese doctor as his master.
It was said that he had achieved a lot in prison during these three years.
Therefore, he knew Chen Nan's purpose in leasing He family's tofu shop.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would open a clinic to make a living.
A good idea.
But how could Zhao Yuan, who held grudges, let Chen Nan have his way and open a clinic?
Since he had promised to make Chen Nan wish he were dead, he would not give him any chance to breathe.
His idea was simple: use Sun Sihai as a knife to eliminate Chen Nan!
Suddenly.
Zhao Yuan's phone rang, displaying Liu Feng's number.
He answered the call, put it on speaker, and casually tossed the phone onto his desk, his tone laced with impatience: "Director Liu, what's the matter?"
Liu Feng said respectfully: "Young Master Zhao, Chen Nan came to see me earlier."
Zhao Yuan frowned and asked suspiciously: "What did he want from you?"
"It's about the matter of firing Chen Shan," Liu Feng sneered. "He told me to reinstate Chen Shan, and not only that, he arrogantly said that if I refused to reinstate Chen Shan, he would destroy me."
"It's hilarious. I, Liu Feng, am your man, Young Master Zhao. How could I do something like betraying my master for glory?"
Zhao Yuan said calmly: "The Jiang Group has acquired plot d16 in Dongcheng, and they are now in the bidding process. Our Zhao Group, as the elder brother of the local construction industry, is very likely to win this project."
"Once the project starts, it will naturally require a large amount of steel, and then it will be troublesome for Director Liu to supply the steel!"
Zhao Yuan knew that Liu Feng wanted to show his loyalty. After all, he had too many dogs like Liu Feng around him.
Since these people were fawning over him, he didn't mind bestowing some favors upon them.
Liu Feng was overjoyed: "Young Master Zhao, you are too conservative. What do you mean by 'very likely to win the project'? Isn't the Jiang Group's project tailor-made for the Zhao Group?"
"I have a premonition that once this project is completed, the Zhao family will surely enter the ranks of first-tier wealthy families. Yes, they will definitely enter the ranks of first-tier wealthy families, and then Jizhou will have seven great wealthy families."
"Then I'll take your good words, Liu Feng. Once the project is secured, you won't be short of benefits," Zhao Yuan said with a face full of longing.
Although the Zhao family was the leader of Jizhou's local construction industry, there were also ten top construction groups in Jizhou and the country.
Those large groups also wanted to get involved in the Jiang Group's land, and they had shown considerable sincerity. By seniority, it was not the Zhao family's turn.
But the Zhao family was going to risk everything this time.
Even if the Jiang Group had no good feelings towards the Zhao family, they had to show enough sincerity.
After all, it was a rare opportunity!
"Who are you people? Who let you in? This is the director's office, all of you get out."
Suddenly.
Zhao Yuan heard Liu Feng's furious roar on the phone.
???
Zhao Yuan was confused.
Although Liu Feng was an insignificant figure, he was the director of the Jizhou Steel Plant. Who dared to barge into his office?
As he was filled with doubt, a stern voice came from the phone: "Liu Feng, we are from the Economic Crime Investigation Department. We have received a report that you are suspected of tax evasion and bribery. Please hang up the phone and accompany us for investigation!"
"I haven't committed any crime, you must not slander me, Young Master Zhao, save me..."!
Before Liu Feng's roar was finished, the call was hung up.
Zhao Yuan suddenly sat up straight, his eyes coldly staring at his phone.
Why was Liu Feng reported?
Why was he reported and arrested only after Chen Nan had seen him?
Could this be Chen Nan's doing behind the scenes?
Without further thought, he immediately called Wang Yang of the Provincial State-owned Assets Management Committee, who managed the Jizhou Steel Plant.
When the call was connected, Zhao Yuan became much more polite: "Uncle Wang, I'd like to ask for your advice. Has Liu Feng really done anything illegal and disciplinary? Why were people arresting him just now? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Liu Feng was Zhao Yuan's dog, and he still wanted to protect him.
After all, the position of director of the steel plant was not high, but it brought him huge profits.
"Little Zhao, I know you and Liu Feng are close friends, but it's best not to get involved in his matters." Wang Yang's tone was solemn: "This person's methods are unclean. He embezzled a huge amount of money as soon as he took office. He has long been targeted. It's within expectations that the matter has come to light today."
"Yes, nephew, I know what to do."
Although he couldn't save Liu Feng, Zhao Yuan's hanging heart finally settled.
He had previously worried that Chen Nan was acting behind the scenes, but now it seemed that things were not as he imagined.
However, even if it was a coincidence, it was too much of a coincidence, wasn't it?
After a moment of hesitation, he dialed a number: "Chen Nan is out of prison. Do you guys want to go into hiding for a while?"
