Zhao Ze was slightly trembling, intimidated by his powerful aura. He clenched his fists, lowered his head, and replied, "We've been following up. However, we heard that several companies are eyeing that piece of land, and the competition is fierce. The relevant departments have decided to auction the land use rights."
"Oh? Which companies are involved?" Qin Si Ye leaned back against his chair, a hint of curiosity in his lazy gaze. He wanted to see who dared to compete with him in K City.
"There's the Luo Group, the Feng Group, and the Su Group, three in total," Zhao Ze replied cautiously after some thought.
"The Su Group, they're interested in this land too?" Qin Si Ye straightened up, his dark sword-like eyebrows arching slightly. Last time, due to Su Cheng Yu's issues, the Su Group had been severely suppressed by him. He hadn't expected them to recover so quickly and contend with him.
"Yes. Moreover, their bid is higher than the other two," Zhao Ze said respectfully, looking at him.
"Hmph." Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye smirked and let out a cold snort. "It seems they're determined to get it. This Su Cheng Han really has some skills. He's bolder and more decisive than the previous CEO. I don't care what method you use, even if you have to increase the funds, you must secure that land."
"Yes. I understand," Zhao Ze replied earnestly. With the CEO's reply, he could now proceed with the arrangements. With their position and financial strength, nothing was impossible for Zhuo Sheng in K City.
"CEO, there's something I need to report to you." Zhao Ze handed over the collected information in his hand.
"What is this?" Qin Si Ye looked down and was momentarily confused. The topmost sheet of paper was a hand-drawn schematic, marking several country names, all interconnected.
"A few days ago, didn't you ask me to investigate where Su Rui has been developing over the years? This map indicates the places he has visited," Zhao Ze said, rubbing his forehead. He had personally drawn it after a meticulous investigation by his people. The CEO seemed not to understand it, which meant his drawing skills were lacking.
"Oh? He's been to so many places in these past few years? I never expected his business empire abroad to be so extensive." Qin Si Ye picked up the paper and examined it closely. When his gaze landed on Country B and Country C, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the Mr. Su he had contended with in Country B.
"Take a photo of this map and send it to Zeng Jian, ask him to verify if this Su Rui is the same person as the Mr. Su he found."
"Yes. I'll do it right away," Zhao Ze replied in a low voice. He had learned many details about the CEO's experiences in Country B from Zeng Jian. The CEO had not only participated in a commercial war but also experienced Miss Shen's kidnapping, both of which were reportedly related to that so-called Mr. Su.
As Zhao Ze took the paper and turned to leave, he remembered something else. "CEO, our people have been tracking Miss Su. This afternoon, she entered a gym with a girlfriend and hasn't come out yet."
"Oh? When she comes out, take her to a secluded place. I want to see her," Qin Si Ye's eyes showed a hint of coldness.
At seven in the evening, the sky had not completely darkened. The last rays of sunset lingered in the western mountains. Qin Si Ye stepped out of his luxurious Rolls-Royce, one hand in his pocket, and strode steadily into a small guesthouse in the suburbs. Zhao Ze followed behind.
They arrived on the third floor and could hear a woman shouting from the room ahead from a distance. Qin Si Ye stopped at the door and heard the woman inside yelling, "You bastards, why did you bring me here? Give me back my bag and my phone. Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this? When I get out of here, I'll... I'll send all of you to jail."
"Open the door," Qin Si Ye said coldly to the man in black standing at the door.
"Yes." The door was immediately opened. Su Yi Xin, standing at the entrance, was gathering her strength to continue her tirade when she saw Qin Si Ye's tall figure appear at the doorway. She took a startled step back.
"Cousin. It's you?"
"It seems you have quite a lot of nerve. Are you also planning to send me to jail?" Qin Si Ye's gaze was sharp as he looked at her and stepped inside. Zhao Ze, holding a file bag, followed him in and closed the door.
