Although the plan to renovate the villa complex was ambitious, Han Lang was an amateur.
To achieve the level he envisioned for the villas, professional assistance was indispensable.
Moreover, someone needed to be responsible for the renovation of the villa complex.
For this purpose, his first thought was Zhang Jianguo, the president of Le City Construction Group.
As the head of Le City's urban planning and construction, Zhang Jianguo naturally had many elites in the construction industry under his command. Borrowing someone from him to help with the relevant planning for the villa complex should not be a problem!
With this in mind, Han Lang took out his phone, found Zhang Jianguo's contact information in his address book, and dialed his number without hesitation.
"Hey, young sir! What brings you to think of this humble person like me today?"
Zhang Jianguo was as jovial as ever.
Han Lang smiled, "Heh, President Zhang, what are you saying? Can't I think of you when I have nothing else to do?"
"Haha..." Zhang Jianguo was also exceptionally pleased to hear this. "You, stop playing the insincere games of Old Cao with me. I know you don't come to my door without a reason. Just say what you need to say!"
Han Lang replied with feigned shock.
"Haha, you saw through me! It's like this, I have a villa complex project and I want to find a professional with garden design expertise to help me brainstorm. Can you recommend someone?"
"No problem!" Zhang Jianguo readily agreed. "Do you have any other requirements for this person?"
Han Lang was stumped by this question. "Well... I'm not sure. You can just pick someone!"
Zhang Jianguo pondered for a moment and then said cheerfully, "Alright, leave this to me. I'll have someone contact you tomorrow!"
"Thank you so much!"
"Tch! Don't be so polite!"
As soon as he hung up the phone, before he could put it back in his pocket, Han Lang heard Luo Jiaying's urgent cry.
"Brother Han Lang, come quickly, come and see!"
Han Lang, not understanding, was startled and hurried over, anxiously asking, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Luo Jiaying pointed at the television and replied incoherently, "Quick, Brother Han Lang, look, the TV is broadcasting..."
Only then did Han Lang turn his head and seriously watch the news report.
"This station reports that the Municipal Public Security Bureau discovered more than ten male corpses, generally around 25 years old, in several locations in the east, south, and north of the city at two o'clock last night..."
"According to information from the Public Security Bureau, these individuals were almost all members of the local underworld gang, the 'Changle Gang'..."
"After investigating the scene, the police found traces of fighting, leading to the preliminary conclusion that this is a major criminal case caused by a gang war..."
"In response, Liu Xiangdong, the Municipal Party Secretary, stated that the city must thoroughly investigate and crack down on local evil forces, actively implement the 'sweep away gangsters and eliminate evil' strategy, and absolutely not allow a few evil forces to threaten the lives and property safety of the people..."
...
At this moment, a frame of the police collecting bodies suddenly flashed on the screen.
This greatly surprised Han Lang.
"This... this... isn't this one of the people who attacked us that day?"
Luo Jiaying nodded repeatedly, "Mmm-hmm, Brother Han Lang, you recognized him too?"
Han Lang also nodded, "But... why are they all dead?"
A flash of inspiration struck Luo Jiaying, and she looked at Han Lang with disbelief.
"Brother Han Lang, do you think it's possible..."
Han Lang also instantly recalled his conversation with Old Master Cao and Tang Haoran at People's Hospital.
"Could this be the deterrence of the powerful families they mentioned?"
Seeing that Han Lang had guessed her thoughts, Luo Jiaying quickly agreed.
"This is the only explanation. Otherwise, for gang fights to occur simultaneously in three different locations, with all the victims being the people who attacked us that day, it's too much of a coincidence!"
Han Lang was also filled with shock. Even though he had strongly advised against it at the time, Tang Haoran and Old Master Cao seemed to have a tacit understanding of this.
After a long while,
He finally came back to his senses and gave a wry smile.
"I should have guessed that the so-called deterrence of the powerful families wouldn't be so simple!"
Then, he quickly let go of it.
"The majesty of the powerful families is inviolable. I think Brother Cao did this to remind certain people. I hope the Gou family will behave themselves after this incident!"
Luo Jiaying also agreed, "As long as the Gou family behaves, we won't have to live in fear every day, right, Brother Han Lang!"
"Right!"
Han Lang sighed and stood up.
"Alright, let's pretend this never happened. Let's get some rest!"
"Mmm! Goodnight, Brother Han Lang!"
"Goodnight!"
Although the methods of the powerful families surprised Han Lang, they were not entirely incomprehensible.
The next morning,
Han Lang was awakened by the ringing of his phone.
"Hello~"
Hearing Han Lang's voice, the man on the other end seemed a little nervous and asked cautiously.
"Excuse me... is this Mr. Han Lang?"
Han Lang was still half-asleep.
"It's me, who is this?"
The person on the other end quickly replied.
"Hello! My name is Zhao Tong, you can call me Xiao Zhao. I am an official from the Urban and Rural Construction Group!"
Hearing that it was someone sent by Zhang Jianguo, Han Lang instantly woke up.
"Hello, hello, Officer Zhao! I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to be here so early. I have a villa complex that needs renovation and I'd like you to take a look. Do you have time today?"
Zhao Tong replied without hesitation, "I have time! Currently, the group has only assigned me this one task, and I am available to be dispatched at any time. You can find me whenever you have any needs."
Hearing this, Han Lang was overjoyed.
"That's great! Without further ado, let's head over there now. We'll meet at the Lingyue Mountain Villa, is that okay?"
Zhao Tong repeatedly replied, "No problem, no problem. I'll see you in a bit then!"
"See you in a bit!"
Hurriedly getting dressed and washing up haphazardly, Han Lang, carrying the villa complex plan that Luo Jiaying had given him yesterday, rushed towards Lingyue Mountain.
Lingyue Mountain,
A thin man in a suit and glasses, carrying a briefcase, stood straight at the villa entrance, seemingly waiting for someone.
Han Lang quickly got out of the car, holding the plan, and friendly extended his hand, asking.
"Hello, Officer Zhao!"
Zhao Tong quickly shook his hand and replied somewhat shyly.
"Hello, Mr. Han!"
Seeing the introverted Zhao Tong, Han Lang smiled kindly and immediately patted his shoulder, asking.
"First time taking on a job?"
Seeing that he had been seen through, Zhao Tong became even more embarrassed, lowering his head and replying awkwardly.
"Mmm."
He then anxiously explained, "But Mr. Han, although I am still in my internship, my professional ability is absolutely fine, please believe me..."
Looking at Zhao Tong's flustered explanation, Han Lang could instantly guess how much unfair treatment this intern from the urban construction group had suffered in that environment.
Of course,
It was definitely not Zhang Jianguo's intention to send him for this project.
It was likely that Zhang Jianguo had handed this project over to a trusted subordinate, and those senior engineers disdained to take on his project, which is why they sent Zhao Tong, an intern.
However, Han Lang did not care about this.
In his opinion, everyone's growth was accumulated from those first times. One couldn't deny them the opportunity just because of the fear of making mistakes, right?
Then what was the point of China talking about thousands of years of historical inheritance?
Therefore, not only did he not show any distrust, but he also encouraged him, "It's okay! Everyone has a first time, don't be nervous, I believe in you!"
Hearing Han Lang's encouragement, Zhao Tong was deeply moved.
His situation was almost as Han Lang had guessed.
In the construction group, he was capable of handling many projects, but due to his introverted and timid personality, his superiors did not trust him, and his colleagues looked down on him because of it.
Therefore, Han Lang's trust was as grateful as timely rain to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Han, I will definitely do my best to complete this project!"
