"Not in a good mood because you forgot to bring paper?" Mayor Zhu displayed an expression that was a mixture of laughter and tears. What's this got to do with anything? It's clear that someone has offended you. Even if you need to find an excuse, can't you at least put in a little effort?"
"Alright, I've got it. Anyway, you're the boss," Mayor Zhu chuckled, "Fortunately, we haven't signed the contract, and the project funds haven't been transferred yet, otherwise, there would have been a substantial penalty fee!"
"It wouldn't matter if there was a penalty fee," Zhang Menglong shrugged, "Then I won't disturb you any longer."
...
Zhang Menglong hung up the phone. At this moment, Zheng Hefeng's hands started to tremble. Had Zhang Menglong actually made a direct call to the mayor? Did this huge order slip away from him just like that?
In the crowd, Xing Zhe's department head clearly heard the phone conversation that had just taken place, and the news suddenly sent him into an overwhelming excitement.
As a competitor, he was naturally aware that Haisheng Group was handling a project worth several billions, but even if such an order were handed over to them, at Huabang, they wouldn't be able to take it on.
Such a huge project required tens of millions in initial investment alone, and their small company only had a few million in liquid assets— not even the capital needed to start it up.
But starting today, he believed that pies really do fall from the sky!
A project worth billions was actually handed to them on a silver platter, and the investor even said they could pay all the project funds in one go!
A project worth billions! If they really took it on, their company could make a profit of tens of millions at least!
And from the tone of the conversation he had just overheard, this seemed to be just the first phase of the project; there would be other projects in the future!
Given Zhang Menglong's relationship with Xing Zhe, it was likely that all these big orders would go to their company in the future!@@@@
"I must tell the boss about this news right away!" Huabang's manager immediately left the crowd quietly, then dialed the boss's phone.
"President Su, it's me, Liu Yiren!"
"Manager Liu! I've got great news for you!" An almost uncontrollable excitement came through the other end, "The mayor just called me! The mayor! That construction project worth several billions has been given to our company, and all the project funds are to be prepaid! I feel like I'm still dreaming!"
"President Su, that's exactly what I was calling to tell you about!" said Liu Yiren.
"What, you already know about this?" President Su was taken aback, having only just learned about it from the mayor.
"I witnessed the whole process at Haisheng Group today!" Liu Yiren recounted the day's events.
"Oh, decided to get out of the car, have you?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, this is my fault," Zheng Hefeng immediately lowered his head.
"You didn't insult me, what are you apologizing to me for?" Zhang Menglong sneered, "Old Xing, you deal with it!"
"Forget it, just don't harass Qiuyi anymore." Xing Zhe shook his head, seemingly not intent on pursuing the matter further.
"Ah!" Zhang Menglong sighed. He knew Xing Zhe was too soft-hearted; to put it nicely, he had a mild temperament, but to put it bluntly, he was indecisive. Zhang Menglong had worried about him for many years, and the kid still hadn't confessed his feelings to Chen Qiuyi.
If things continued like this, the distance between them was bound to grow wider very quickly.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, thank you, Mr. Xing!" Zheng Hefeng nodded repeatedly.
As for harassing Chen Qiuyi again, not even with ten times the courage would he dare.
Setting aside the terrifying backgrounds of Zhang Menglong and Xing Zhe for a moment, Zhang had just said that Chen Qiuyi grew up with them. Even if his family background couldn't match Zhang Menglong's entirely, would it be much worse than Xing Zhe's?
If he harassed Chen Qiuyi again, it wouldn't even require Zhang Menglong and the others to take action; Qiuyi's own family would likely be the first to disapprove. Who knows if they'd send a fleet of Bentleys or Rolls Royces after him.
It seemed he finally realized why Chen Qiuyi was so indifferent to him. His family wealth might seem considerable to the average person, but in Chen Qiuyi's eyes, it probably wasn't much different from kids playing house.
"Let's go, time to eat," Zhang Menglong clapped their shoulders, "Oh, and by the way, this is my girlfriend, Lu Yiyao."
"Hello!" Chen Qiuyi, ever at ease, shook hands with her, and Xing Zhe, never much of a talker, simply nodded and smiled.
"Sorry, I need to take a call." Xing Zhe suddenly noticed his phone ringing.
"Su... President Su?" In all his time with the company, only his supervisor had kept in direct touch with him; he had never even exchanged a word with their president, President Su.
"Young Master Xing, thanks to you, we managed to get that project from Haisheng Group."

"Young Master Xing?" Xing Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of strange title was this?
"Young Master Xing, since this project is from your friend Young Master Zhang, you'll be in charge of it. I'll arrange for everyone to assist you fully!" President Su said, "Also, let's end your internship starting today, shall we? Are you interested in the position of Project General Manager?"
