Zhang Yang felt somewhat agitated after being angered by Huang Xin and her mother during the checkout.
Staring at Huang Hanshu, who was holding a wine glass, he asked listlessly,
"Who are you?"
"What's my great name? How come I don't know?"
Huang Hanshu didn't seem to mind Zhang Yang's attitude.
As someone involved in the system, Huang Hanshu was quite astute.
He glanced at the three beautiful women in the private room.
He assumed Zhang Yang didn't want to reveal his identity as the Dragon Group captain in front of the three ladies.
So, he immediately smiled and gave a subtle hint.
"My name is Huang Hanshu, and Huang Rui is my father."
Huang Rui?
The Mayor of Jiangnan City?
Zhang Yang suddenly realized, remembering Huang Rui who had hosted the competition yesterday.
So, this was what Huang Hanshu meant by calling him captain.
However, this kid was quite clever, not exposing it directly.
"So, it's Young Master Huang. Please excuse my earlier rudeness," Zhang Yang said.
"Heh, there's no rudeness. Come, Zhang Yang, I'll toast you." Huang Hanshu smiled and also changed his address to Zhang Yang.
After speaking, Huang Hanshu raised his wine glass and drank it all in one go, without even asking Zhang Yang to join him.
This surprised the three women in the private room.
What had Zhang Yang done to earn such respect from Huang Hanshu, making him want to curry favor with him?
After finishing the wine, Huang Hanshu continued the conversation in a somewhat condescending manner.
"Zhang Yang, why are you here? Do you know these three?"
"Mm," Zhang Yang nodded.
He pointed to Guan Fenghua, "Well, this is my former boss."
Then he pointed to Han Xiyao, "Well, this is my current boss."
Finally, he pointed to Luo Yiren and hesitated for a moment before saying,
"This is my ordinary friend. I drove them here to eat today."
After Zhang Yang finished speaking, Luo Yiren rolled her eyes repeatedly, which was quite charming.
Really, was it necessary to emphasize the word "ordinary"? She wasn't going to eat anyone.
What was said casually was taken to heart.
Huang Hanshu was very surprised.
Zhang Yang truly lived up to his father's high praise; he actually had dealings with all three beauties of Jiangnan City.
And judging by the situation, their relationships seemed quite close.
Even Luo Yiren, whom Zhang Yang emphasized as an ordinary friend,
Didn't seem like just an ordinary friend.
Huang Hanshu remembered his father's instructions to make sure he built a good relationship with Zhang Yang if he had the chance.
In that case...
Thinking of this, Huang Hanshu suddenly sat down again.
"Ladies, I've found myself feeling a bit hungry. Would it be too presumptuous to have some food?"
The three women found it a bit strange, but they nodded in agreement.
Huang Hanshu chuckled, picked up a pair of unused chopsticks, and began to eat on his own.
He then poured two glasses of red wine and toasted Zhang Yang.
After several glasses of red wine, Huang Hanshu began to sway his head.
As if he were drunk, he mumbled to himself in a daze,
"Alas, the big shots from the provincial capital have such long reach. The development and construction of the Jiangnan New Area was originally an internal matter for Jiangnan City."
"These provincial big shots actually want to interfere, and they've personally brought down two major families from the provincial capital."
"One of them seems to be called the Nangong family, right?"
"And it's one thing to bring people, but they even disagree with us relocating the capital!"
"Fortunately, we didn't listen to them. The capital must be relocated, otherwise the economic development of the Jiangnan New Area will be delayed."
"Actually... it's not bad to set the capital's location to the east of the old residential area."
"Ah~ I can't take it anymore, my head is so dizzy, I'm going to sleep for a bit."
"..."
After speaking, Huang Hanshu suddenly closed his eyes and slumped onto the table, letting out snores.
As if he were truly drunk.
With things having progressed to this point,
Let alone the three women, even Zhang Yang understood.
Huang Hanshu was indirectly revealing some important information to them through this unconventional method.
The three women's eyes were filled with surprise.
They had already given up hope, but they didn't expect a turn of events.
Huang Hanshu had told them all the important news.
First, the provincial capital had interfered in the Jiangnan New Area matter.
Second, the provincial big shots had brought two provincial families down, one of which was the Nangong family.
Furthermore,
The Mayor of Jiangnan City, Huang Rui, had defied the provincial arrangements.
He resolutely chose to relocate the capital, and the location was set to the east of the old residential area.
These three pieces of information were crucial enough for the three women.
"Let's go, we've also eaten enough, let's head back."
The three women kept these matters in mind, as if nothing had happened, and left the private room with Zhang Yang, leaving behind the 'drunk' Huang Hanshu.
"Zhang Yang, sister really underestimated you. I didn't expect yours to be so big." Luo Yiren blinked her eyes, her gaze drifting to a spot three inches below Zhang Yang's navel.
"I..." Zhang Yang was very helpless, not knowing how to respond.
Guan Fenghua looked at Zhang Yang with rare approval, "Don't listen to that slut Yiren talking nonsense. She means you have a lot of influence, enough to make Huang Hanshu proactively reveal insider information."
Having experienced the entire morning, Han Xiyao had gotten to know Luo Yiren quite well and was already accustomed to the behavior of this hooligan.
However,
She was very curious about Zhang Yang's ability to make Huang Hanshu show him favor.
"Zhang Yang, what did Huang Hanshu call you just now, Captain? Have you ever been a captain?"
Zhang Yang pondered slightly.
The position of Dragon Group Captain was actually bestowed upon him by Fang Zheng.
He was merely a nominal holder, without real power.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yang still chose not to tell Han Xiyao.
"I used to be a security captain, and I saved Huang Rui's life," Zhang Yang explained.
This reason was a bit far-fetched.
But it could explain why Huang Hanshu would give him face and tell the three women the inside story of the Jiangnan New Area construction.
As for whether the three women believed it, Zhang Yang didn't care.
He quickly ran off.
He drove the car to the hotel entrance and took the three women back to the company.
...
At the same time,
As Zhang Yang and the others were leaving,
Huang Xin and her mother also walked out of the hotel, accompanied by Feng Jie.
"Auntie, Xin'er, it's raining outside. Please wait here while I go get the car."
After saying this, Feng Jie covered his head with his hand and ran forward.
With his back to Huang Xin and her mother, the smile on his face was extremely manic.
It was as if he had won a lottery prize of hundreds of millions.
Huang Xin and her mother had just signed the contract for the sale of their house deed.
The people he had arranged had already transferred the deposit to Huang Xin's account.
Once the transfer was completed tomorrow morning, the house would be his.
"Xin'er, quickly let me see your phone," Mother Huang said excitedly.
"Mom, the money won't run away, why are you so anxious?" Huang Xin smiled and handed the balance notification to Mother Huang.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, oh my, so many zeros."
"Even if I swept streets for ten lifetimes, I wouldn't earn this much money," Mother Huang said happily, her eyes flashing with greed.
"Feng Jie is a good child, Xin'er, you must cherish him."
Mother Huang was very happy and praised Feng Jie again.
Huang Xin also said proudly, "Mom, this is mainly because your daughter has good taste."
"Yes, yes, you have good taste, but when will they give us the remaining seven hundred thousand?" Mother Huang asked expectantly.
"They'll transfer the money after the transfer is completed tomorrow. Then we can leave this poor place and move in with Feng Jie," Huang Xin replied.
Hearing this, Mother Huang also had a look of longing in her eyes.
After living a life of hardship in the old residential area for most of her life, she could finally go out and enjoy herself.
Moreover, her daughter had found such a good family in Feng Jie.
Mother Huang felt that her life was worth it, and she could finally hold her head high.
"Daughter, we have money now, you should also buy a car, so we won't be looked down upon by Feng Jie's family," Mother Huang said.
She saw Feng Jie driving over and made up her mind.
Actually, Huang Xin's education was not bad, and her job was also decent.
Mother Huang had heard from Huang Xin that it was a large group, something called Fenghua.
Coupled with Huang Xin's good looks, buying a car to boost her image would give her confidence when discussing marriage with Feng Jie's family.
"Buy a car, great! Then let's go this afternoon," Huang Xin said happily.
The old residential area was some distance from the company, and she had wanted to buy one for a long time, but her family was financially strapped.
Now that her mother had brought it up, she naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
"Yes, let's go buy one this afternoon, buy an expensive one, a good one, so we can drive it back to show off," Mother Huang said with a smile. m..oΓg
...
In the private room,
Huang Hanshu, who was 'drunk,' rubbed his face and shook his arm, which had gone numb from being propped up.
His face was full of joy, and he made a gesture he wouldn't normally make, raising his fist in the air.
"It seems Zhang Yang owes me this favor. I need to hurry back and tell my father about this."
...
