"Alright, let's head back to the company. There are still many things waiting for me to handle!" Shen Yiman said faintly.
Since Heilong Capital acquired the land in Qinglong Bay, many businessmen had approached them, wanting a piece of the Qinglong Bay project. However, Shen Yiman rejected them all. She attached great importance to the current cooperation with Haitong Group, as Haitong Group's financial strength and network were top-tier in the entire Jiang Province.
In the afternoon, Wang Kexin, the secretary to the chairman of Haitong Group, delivered the cooperation contract. The main content of the contract was the construction of a large shopping mall, small shops, and an amusement park on the Qinglong Bay land. The construction was planned to take three years. Once this area was fully developed, the Qinglong Bay project would become the largest commercial land parcel in Jiangbei City, driving the rapid economic development of the entire Jiangbei City.
The municipal construction investment was estimated at one hundred billion, and construction had already begun. The primary goal was to clear Qinglong Bay and transform it into Qinglong Bay Park, making it a tourist attraction. Haitong Group was integrating into the supporting aspects of the municipal construction, not only receiving substantial returns but also obtaining subsidies from the municipal department.
...
While Shen Yiman was busy working at the company, an unwelcome group of guests entered. A refined-looking man walked at the forefront, followed by Ji Xueshuang from the traditional Chinese medicine family, Bai Hao from Hesheng Group, and Kong Hexuan from the Kong family of Jiangbei City. Several bodyguards followed behind them.
As soon as this group reached the entrance, they were stopped by the security guards of Heilong Capital.
"Stop right there, what are you here for?"
It must be said that the members of the Jiangbei branch of the Hongmen were not cowards. They showed no signs of fear despite the number of people in the opposing group.
"You dog, open your eyes and see clearly. This is the eldest young master of the Xiao family from Yanjing. The others are all influential figures in Jiangbei City. How dare you stop us? Are you tired of living?" Bai Hao immediately roared at the security guards.
"I don't care who you are. Without the general manager's permission, no one is allowed to enter!" The security guard was unfazed and continued to speak to the group.
"Damn it, you're looking for death!" As soon as Bai Hao finished speaking, the bodyguards behind him rushed forward and quickly subdued the security guard, knocking him to the ground. Lu Yang, hearing the commotion, walked out directly.
"Deputy General Manager Lu, these people forced their way into our company, and we couldn't stop them!" A security guard lying on the ground said with difficulty upon seeing Lu Yang.
"Who gave you the audacity to trespass into my Heilong Capital?" Lu Yang looked at the people in front of him and said coldly.
"Oh, the useless son-in-law of the Tang family is quite arrogant now? Call Shen Yiman out immediately. I have important matters to discuss with her!" Bai Hao looked at Lu Yang and shouted disdainfully. With the backing of the Xiao family of Yanjing, he naturally didn't take Lu Yang seriously.
"If you have something to say, you can tell me directly!" Lu Yang said coldly to Bai Hao.
"Tell you? Are you worthy? Call Shen Yiman out immediately. The eldest young master of the Xiao family from Yanjing, Xiao Wuji, has come specifically to discuss cooperation with Heilong Capital. By climbing onto the Xiao family of Yanjing, your Heilong Capital is incredibly lucky. Hurry up and have Shen Yiman put on a uniform to properly serve Young Master Xiao?" Bai Hao continued to roar.
"The Xiao family of Yanjing?" Hearing this, Lu Yang turned his gaze to Xiao Wuji, his eyes filled with amusement.
"The Xiao family of Yanjing? What is that? We at Heilong Capital don't need it!"
"Our Heilong Capital has already cooperated with Haitong Group, so please leave!" Lu Yang sneered, not taking the young master of the Xiao family seriously at all.
"You... you are truly too bold, daring not to show respect to the young master Xiao. I think you're tired of living. Someone, break this dog's legs!" Bai Hao's expression instantly changed upon hearing this. He looked at the bodyguards beside him and immediately shouted.
"Yes!" The two bodyguards, upon hearing Bai Hao's words, were about to move against Lu Yang.
"Wait!" At this moment, Xiao Wuji, who had been silent, stopped them with a smile.
"My friend, you seem to have quite a temper!"
"Heilong Capital owns over two thousand mu of land in Qinglong Bay. As long as you are willing to give us half of it to cooperate with us, I guarantee you will receive generous returns!"
"After all, the strength of my Xiao family from Yanjing is far superior to that of Haitong Group!" Xiao Wuji said with a smile to Lu Yang, appearing harmless.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying? I said our Heilong Capital has already cooperated with Haitong Group. We have fully cooperated, and all the land has been invested in Haitong Group. You want it? Sorry, it's gone!" Lu Yang shrugged and said indifferently.
"Wuji, there's no point in wasting words with this trash. He injured someone from Xingyi Quan last time. This time, I've specially invited the head of Xingyi Quan. Later, I will make this trash kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!" Ji Xueshuang said coldly to Lu Yang. Lu Yang had snatched the Duanlong Xu at the auction last time, and Ji Xueshuang had held a grudge, wishing she could kill him. Every time she saw Lu Yang, unnamable rage would surge within her.
"Since that's the case, then I can't help you anymore!" After hearing Ji Xueshuang's words, Xiao Wuji shrugged, smiled slightly at Lu Yang, and then stepped back two paces. At this moment, an old man pushed his way out of the crowd. He was the master of the Xingyi Quan expert whom Lu Yang had defeated last time, named He Yaotian.
"Kid, you defeated my disciple? And you insulted our Xingyi Quan?" The old man was hunched, appearing decrepit and on the verge of collapsing at any moment. However, he exuded a sense of threat that caused several bodyguards to involuntarily step back.
"The junior couldn't win, so he brought an elder!"
"I just wonder, what skills do you, the elder, possess?" Lu Yang sneered, naturally not taking the old man seriously. In his opinion, this old man was far inferior to Dark Night Pluto, so how could he be Lu Yang's opponent?
"Hmph, you court death. Today, I will cripple your martial arts and bring honor to our Xingyi Quan!" The old man said, and then instantly straightened his body, reaching a height of one meter eighty. Golden light flashed in his eyes, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He immediately attacked, clawing towards Lu Yang's chest.
Lu Yang had long seen through the old man's tricks. With his hands in his pockets, he lightly turned and dodged the old man's grab.
"Hmm?"
"So fast?" The old man also frowned slightly, not expecting Lu Yang to be so fast. He instantly changed his stance and kicked towards Lu Yang again.
"Xingyi Quan also has leg techniques?" Lu Yang also sneered, raising a leg and colliding with the old man's kick, sending the old man staggering back several steps.
