Chapter 399 Immediate Commencement
Upon hearing Fang Shihong's final words, Liu Ran's heart sank. With a frown, she suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Liu Ran re-examined the contract in her hand. Everything seemed fine. After some thought, she also quickly left the notary office.
The next day.
Chen Yang, accompanied by Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Liu Xiaomei, arrived at the Chu Han development.
The Chu Han development was quite extensive. Currently, the entire construction had halted. High-rise buildings stood tall, their designs aesthetically pleasing and appearing quite sturdy.
The development also featured a large landscaped garden. Its high reputation in Qingzhou was a testament to the previous designer's meticulous effort.
Liu Ran alighted from the car and walked around the development. She finally relaxed a little and said, "Today, we will immediately find a construction team to resume building the houses."
"Fang Shihong's apology before he left last night kept me awake all night. This development has always been a thorn in my side. I won't feel at ease until we start earning money from it."
Su Ya also chimed in with a smile, "I think the same way. Regarding the construction team, I'll directly find a construction company from Jinling City to come over."
"Our Su family has shares in a construction company. I'll get someone I trust, and the price will be cheaper."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ran nodded eagerly at Su Ya, "Su Ya, bring the construction company over immediately. Get the personnel and equipment on-site as soon as possible to start construction."
After returning from the development, Liu Ran finally felt a little more at ease.
Meanwhile, at the Yang family residence.
Yang Long rushed in excitedly. He said to Bai Leitian, who was seated in the main seat, "Young Master Bai, they've taken the bait! Liu Ran has taken the bait. They actually bought the Chu Han development for a hundred billion yuan."
Bai Leitian's lips curled into a cold smile. He put down his teacup and said, "Of course, I already knew. Fang Shihong was arranged by me. He informed me yesterday when he received the hundred billion yuan."
"It seems this Yangyangyang Company is quite wealthy! I thought their company only had fifty billion. I didn't expect them to come up with a hundred billion directly now."
"This is perfect. Let them handle the entire development. If anything goes wrong, only Yangyangyang Company will be held responsible."
"Send someone to Modu. Have them reside near the Zhuge family. As soon as Liu Ran starts construction here and digs up their Zhuge family's ancestral graves, you will immediately have someone inform the Zhuge family that Liu Ran has dug up their ancestral graves."
Yang Long let out a hearty laugh and immediately nodded, "Alright, Young Master Bai. I will send someone to wait around the Zhuge family immediately."
Bai Leitian nodded, immensely pleased with himself. His plan was flawless, and now that Liu Ran had fallen into the trap, it meant Liu Ran was utterly doomed.
Just then, Bai Leitian's phone rang. The ringtone was unusual, a piano melody.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Bai Leitian sat bolt upright and hastily took out a tiny mobile phone, no bigger than a matchbox, from his pocket. He glanced at it, then immediately answered and brought it to his ear.
A synthesized voice from the phone said, "Please state your designation."
Bai Leitian immediately picked up the phone and quickly pressed four digits.
Then, a mission voice came from the phone: "New leader, Bai Leitian, your first mission: escort three members to international waters. Time: five days from now, 8:00 AM. Requirement: discreetly disguise them as ordinary tourists and escort them onto a ship bound for international waters."
Bai Leitian's body trembled with excitement. He immediately replied, "Yes, I guarantee mission completion."
After the phone call ended, Bai Leitian's eyes flickered with excitement. This was his first mission since joining the Black Ice organization as a leader, and he was determined to complete it.
However, the mission didn't seem particularly difficult. It was merely escorting three people onto a ship and ensuring they reached international waters safely.
As the eldest young master of the Bai family, obtaining three identification cards or fake passports for these individuals would be quite easy.
Putting down the phone, Bai Leitian couldn't help but burst into laughter, "It seems there will be double happiness! Hahaha... I'll just wait for that good-for-nothing Chen Yang to grovel at my feet and for that little bitch Liu Ran to be dragged here to serve me."
Bai Leitian threw his head back and laughed, full of confidence and supreme satisfaction. He felt as though his life was entering a new phase, and with his new role as a leader in the Black Ice organization, his future was bright.
The Han Chu development, which had been halted, resumed construction the afternoon of the day it was sold to Liu Ran. At 4:00 PM, hundreds of construction workers arrived at the Chu Han development with their equipment.
This was Jinling Ninth Construction Company.
The construction company had shares held by the Su family, making Su Ya a minor owner. Working for the boss's family meant putting in extra effort.
Upon entering the construction site, they immediately set up camp, and the machinery was put into operation. By 6:00 PM that evening, without disturbing the residents, the machines began working.
The Chu Han development was largely completed, with only the excavation of the underground air-raid shelter and the capping work remaining. According to the sales requirements for the development, sales could commence once the building floors were capped.
Of course, full occupancy would still take another year or so, as subsequent interior decoration would be required.
That night, the Chu Han development was brightly lit, and the machines had been running continuously.
The next morning, Liu Ran and Su Ya eagerly boarded Chen Yang's car and drove directly to the construction site.
Liu Dayong, wearing a red hard hat on the site, saw Su Ya arrive and immediately came forward. Liu Dayong took off his hat, bowed slightly to Su Ya, and then bowed to Liu Ran, smiling, "Hello, President Su, hello, President Liu."
Su Ya waved her hand and said, "Engineer Liu, how is the construction site? You've been working overnight. Are there any problems with the site?"
Engineer Liu smiled and replied, "No problems. The foundation laid in the early stages of this construction site is excellent, and the quality of the development is good."
"When you sent us here before, President Su, I thought it would be a mess that needed a lot of fixing. But now, it seems completely unnecessary. We just need to proceed step by step."
"In a week at most, we can begin capping. After pouring and capping, this development can be put up for sale. I estimate the pre-sale permit will be issued in half a month."
"Also, President Su, when sales begin, I'd like to reserve two units. Once our construction team finishes building this development, it will undoubtedly be very beautiful. I particularly like this kind of courtyard and garden, traditional Chinese style."
Hearing Engineer Liu's words, Su Ya finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
Liu Ran, standing beside her, also patted her chest and let out a long sigh, "Ah, now I can finally relax. I always felt this development was a trap. Now that there's a professional like Engineer Liu overseeing the actual construction, there definitely won't be any issues."
As they were chatting, a worker wearing a white hard hat ran over quickly.
The worker approached Liu Dayong and said, "Manager Liu, we've dug up a pile of graves ahead. And they seem to be quite well-preserved."
Liu Dayong frowned and said speechlessly, "Isn't it normal to dig up graves? We're working outdoors. When has a development site ever been built without graves or accidents?"
The worker quickly shook his head, "Manager Liu, this time it seems a bit different. These graves appear to be very luxuriously built, as if someone deliberately buried them underground. Why don't you come and take a look?"
Liu Ran and Su Ya both perked up upon hearing this and immediately followed. Liu Ran said, "Let's go take a look too."
Liu Dayong handed Liu Ran, Su Ya, and Chen Yang each a hard hat, and then the group strode towards the interior of the construction site.
