TVSFPAG -Chapter 64 Why Does That Sound a Bit Familiar?

Manager He scratched his head, his face full of worry and hesitation. He remained frowning for a long time without speaking.

“Manager He, if you have something in mind, feel free to say it directly.”

After thinking for several minutes, he finally looked at Chu Jinhan and said, “Xiao Chu, I called you here to come up with a solution. I’m not sure what kind of grudge you have with Liu Maocai, but tell me first—do you have any way to resolve this?”

For Manager He to say this much was already very considerate.

He genuinely liked Chu Jinhan and wanted to keep him. If Chu Jinhan had a solution, he wouldn’t be afraid of Liu Maocai.

Last year, he had a fortune told, which said that this year he would meet a benefactor who could help him rise rapidly, even take his company public, and reach the peak of his life.

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that this person might be Chu Jinhan.

Of course, if there was truly no way to resolve the issue, he would have no choice but to part with Chu Jinhan and let him leave the company.

He couldn’t risk his entire company for the sake of one person.

At a critical moment, one had to distinguish between superstition and reality.

Chu Jinhan said, “The simplest option is for me to leave. Once I do, Liu Maocai will most likely stop. That’s the most direct and lowest-risk choice.”

Manager He moved his lips but said nothing. Clearly, this was one of the options he had already considered internally.

Chu Jinhan continued, “Of course, if Manager He trusts me, you can let me handle this problem.”

“However, from your perspective, the risk is quite high. No matter what you decide, I can understand.”

Manager He looked at him skeptically. “You have a way to solve it?”

Chu Jinhan replied calmly, “Solutions are something people figure out.”

Manager He’s mouth twitched. How was that any different from saying nothing?

After a moment of thought, Chu Jinhan added, “If I can’t resolve it within five days, I’ll leave on my own.”

Hearing this, Manager He immediately slapped the desk. “Alright! We’ll go with that. But how do you plan to handle it? Tell me so I can have some idea.”

Chu Jinhan said, “Qingcheng isn’t limited to just this one industrial zone. Manager He should first look into other industrial parks and see if there are suitable factory spaces.”

“Even if the issue isn’t resolved in the end and I leave, as long as we stay in this industrial zone, Liu Maocai will still find ways to make things difficult for you.”

What troubled Manager He the most was exactly this. Unless the factory was moved out of Qingcheng, Liu Maocai would continue to cause trouble.

But relocating out of Qingcheng would bring back the earlier problem—insufficient manpower and delayed delivery schedules.

“Then what next?” Manager He asked again.

Chu Jinhan said, “I’ll first go look for Manager Feng. If he’s willing to help, everything will be settled. If he refuses to intervene, I’ll think of other methods.”

“Oh, I almost forgot about Manager Feng. He’s Liu Maocai’s direct superior.” Manager He patted his forehead, his expression hesitant. “But Liu Maocai is his trusted subordinate. You don’t have any connection with him—he probably won’t get involved.”

Chu Jinhan pondered briefly. “It doesn’t hurt to try.”

“Alright then, give it a try.”

After all, Chu Jinhan had already promised that if he couldn’t resolve it within five days, he would leave on his own.

For Manager He, there was no loss.

Chu Jinhan nodded slightly and turned to leave the office.

After coming out, he called Wu Wei.

At that moment, Wu Wei was staring intently at the stock K-line chart, his heartbeat rising and falling with the market movement. Several times when the stock dropped, he nearly couldn’t resist selling—but he held back.

At that moment, the stock was rising strongly, looking like it could reach 15 yuan. He even felt the urge to sell his father’s three-wheeled vehicle immediately to invest more.

Just as that thought crossed his mind, Chu Jinhan’s call came in.

Wu Wei answered immediately. “Brother Chu, is it time to sell?!”

“Not yet. Check again before the market closes. First, tell me everything you know about Liu Maocai.”

Wu Wei paused. “Uh… I’m not that familiar with him.”

“Just tell me what you know.”

“Okay… I know his wife is very beautiful…”

Liu Maocai’s wife was a full ten years younger than him. If it weren’t for his wealth, he would never have been able to marry such a beautiful woman in his lifetime.

His wife didn’t bother about him either—she let him do whatever he wanted outside. He even had two or three girlfriends.

As Wu Wei was talking, he suddenly slapped his thigh. “Right, Brother Chu, I just remembered something else that might be useful to you.”

“What is it?”

“Earlier, I heard from a buddy of mine that at Fengyue’s newly developed real estate project, Liu Maocai tried to slip in a batch of substandard building materials, but people on Feng’s side pushed it back.”

“That guy got drunk, flew into a rage at the dinner table, and even cursed out the person in charge, including Feng himself.”

“My buddy still has a recording of it, but he’s timid and doesn’t dare to blackmail Liu Maocai. I can get it from him for you.”

“Alright.”

Wu Wei went on to say quite a bit more, but all of it was things he had heard from his third uncle.

His third uncle could be considered one of Liu Maocai’s confidants and knew quite a lot about him.

Whether it was true or not was another matter.

——

Inside a bright and spacious office.

Feng Tianhao sat on the sofa and handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to Li Miao, who was sitting diagonally across from him.

He joked, “Cousin, as soon as you came back, you bought ten apartments in one go—and all within your own development project. Is this some new type of investment strategy?”

Li Miao smiled and said mysteriously, “Of course. If the investment succeeds, this small amount of money could multiply by at least several hundred times.”

Feng Tianhao froze for a moment. “Cousin, you’re not joking with me, are you?”

Li Miao rolled her eyes at him. “Of course not. Do you think I’d buy ten apartments just to joke with you?”

Feng Tianhao’s expression turned serious as he scrutinized Li Miao with suspicion for a while before asking curiously, “Care to let your cousin in on it?”

Li Miao replied, “No rush. We’re still waiting for the investigation results from my uncle’s side. The fewer people who know about this for now, the better.”

“You’re keeping secrets from me now,” Feng Tianhao said somewhat unhappily. But since Li Miao wouldn’t say anything, he couldn’t force her.

As the two were chatting, someone knocked on the door from outside.

“Come in.”

The office door opened, and Liu Maocai walked in from outside.

He had a smile on his face, and because he was so overweight, his eyes were nearly invisible.

“Brother Feng, you were looking for me?” he said with a chuckle, standing beside Feng Tianhao like an obedient student.

Feng Tianhao glanced at him. “Have you been very idle lately?”

Liu Maocai froze slightly. “What do you mean, Brother Feng?”

Feng Tianhao said, “Over at the A Industrial Zone, someone told me that you’ve been telling property owners that anyone who dares to rent their factory buildings to Xinglong would be going against you. Old Liu, since when did you become so capable?”

Liu Maocai paused, then quickly regained his composure.

He had already anticipated that someone would report him. With such a big commotion, it would have been strange if Feng Tianhao hadn’t heard about it.

Liu Maocai immediately began to complain, “Brother Feng, I didn’t want to do this either!”

“It’s just that they’ve gone too far. That sales guy from their company is simply outrageously arrogant.”

“Because I honked my horn at him on the road last time, he had such a bad temper that he came up and slapped me twice.”

“I’ve been in Qingcheng for so many years—when have I ever suffered this kind of humiliation?”

As Liu Maocai spoke, he grew more and more agitated, and his face seemed to start hurting again. But then he changed his tone: “Me taking a bit of anger is nothing, but that was on a public street. He hit me in front of so many people—that’s basically slapping your face, Brother Feng. How could I tolerate that?”

“I already told He Long to fire that guy, but that old fox He Long didn’t take my words seriously at all. He even said he doesn’t put Brother Feng in his eyes. I think he’s landed a few contracts recently and has forgotten his place.”

“If even they can’t be dealt with, how will others see us? Won’t everyone start disregarding Brother Feng in the future?”

Feng Tianhao frowned slightly. “Xinglong… why does that sound somewhat familiar?”

At that moment, Li Miao suddenly looked at Liu Maocai. “Xinglong? What’s the name of that sales guy you mentioned?”

Liu Maocai recognized Li Miao and quickly put on a flattering smile. “His name is Chu Jinhan. He’s as arrogant as they come. Sister Li, don’t worry—I’ll definitely deal with him properly. By then, I’ll have him kneel in front of Brother Feng and beg for mercy.”
