Chapter 961: Chapter 955: Zhiwei Faces Another Serious Crisis

Zhiwei Real Estate had once again encountered a serious crisis. After learning about the sales model that Zhiwei Real Estate had launched, Long Aotian immediately united with the major real estate developers in Jincheng. They also rolled out a lease-instead-of-sale model around the properties developed by Zhiwei Real Estate Company, and moreover, their rental prices were lower, which far exceeded what Zhiwei Real Estate could afford.

There was nothing they could do; after all, Zhiwei Real Estate’s strength simply couldn’t compare to that of established developers like the Long Family, especially since the Long Family had also allied with several other major real estate enterprises, thereby putting even more pressure on Zhiwei Real Estate.

In the beginning, everyone had seen a significant improvement in the company’s performance after adopting the leasing model suggested by Changlin.

Especially when Zhiwei took the long-term leases from the tenants to the bank for loan applications, they encountered green lights all the way.

After all, this was something beneficial to the public, and leasing was quite different from selling. The property rights still belonged to the developer enterprise, and their ability to repay the loan was not under great pressure.

Besides, the banking side was also very optimistic about the lease-instead-of-sale marketing model.

Thus, Zhiwei Real Estate Company was filled with a bustling and flourishing scene.

However, the turn of events came so swiftly; in just a week’s time, the Long Family and the other established real estate enterprises crafted a counterstrategy.

What made Mingzhu and several shareholders baffled was that Long Aotian, in order to target Zhiwei, would disregard their Long Family’s interests and rent out properties at low prices.

This situation naturally had a huge impact on the operations of Zhiwei Real Estate. After all, the Long Family and several major established real estate enterprises were rolling out this operational model around the Zhiwei Real Estate Company’s developments, while their properties in other areas were unaffected.

Under such circumstances, it didn’t take long for Zhiwei to slide back into its former sluggish state.

Yet, what was even more dreadful was that the tenants who had originally signed leasing contracts with Zhiwei, unexpectedly, many chose to breach the contracts and even sued in court. Upon hearing this news, the banks naturally became hesitant about the loan situation.

The loan that had just been issued also led to bank executives of director level and above personally visiting to demand its return, expressing their distrust in Zhiwei Real Estate Company’s ability to handle the crisis, which almost made Mingzhu collapse.

She knew all this was because the Long Family, especially that Long Aotian and Long An, were playing tricks behind the scenes. However, Mingzhu really lacked the means to respond.

Especially after the company’s restructuring, many of the original shareholders were no longer employed by the enterprise, leaving Mingzhu with far fewer opportunities to discuss matters with others.

The shareholders sat silently in the conference room until Liu Honglin suggested why not ask Mr. Li to come back for a discussion, which suddenly reminded everyone that the company still had a major shareholder.

Some time ago, Changlin had gone to the provincial city and had not returned since. Because Changlin rarely came to Zhiwei, the shareholders had overlooked his presence for a while.

Though Mingzhu had thought about calling Changlin many times, she knew that Changlin had more important things to do in the provincial city, so she ultimately gave up on that idea.

But now that Liu Hong had brought it up, Mingzhu felt it would be inappropriate to disregard his suggestion, so she simply took out her phone and, in front of everyone, dialed Changlin’s number.

At that moment, Changlin was participating in training on Dragon TV; he had joined Xie Yixin’s team and only then learned that because of him, Wang Yiyi had also chosen to join.

Regarding Wang Yiyi’s decision, Changlin couldn’t really comment, but the fact that she remembered his kindness also filled him with gratitude.

At the time, Changlin was discussing with Xie Yixin how to use abdominal breathing for vocal transformation, and his phone was in Wang Yiyi’s hands, filming a video for them.

Typically, Changlin would never let his phone out of his sight, but firstly, he didn’t want to refuse Wang Yiyi’s request, and secondly, since he had already bound it with the System, he actually didn’t have to worry about the phone being lost.

At that moment, the phone rang. Seeing Mingzhu’s name on the screen, Wang Yiyi knew it must be a woman.

Truth be told, Wang Yiyi certainly had some thoughts about Changlin.

Not to speak of Changlin’s talents, but just his identity as a major shareholder of Sky Horse Records was enough to cause stirrings in Wang Yiyi’s heart.

However, Wang Yiyi was very clear that she was just a singer signed under Changlin, and getting close to him would be incredibly difficult.

Especially since rumors had surfaced linking Changlin with Ye Xiyao and Luo Tianyi, adding even more pressure to Wang Yiyi.

Before winning the championship of Xuanyuan’s The Voice, she dared not harbor any extravagant hopes.

Seeing the call from another woman, Wang Yiyi did not dare conceal it, so she looked up and softly called out, "Big Brother Li, you have a call."

"You take it," Changlin gestured with a wave of his hand. He was in the middle of a crucial discussion with Xie Yixin and naturally had no desire to answer the phone.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yiyi casually hit the answer button, "Hello, may I ask who’s calling?"

"This is Mingzhu. Please, get Big Brother Li on the phone," Mingzhu slightly hesitated on the other end, immediately going on alert.

This woman’s voice was very unfamiliar. Could it be that Big Brother Li had a new girlfriend?

The use of the word "another" naturally meant that Mingzhu was already aware of Qian Ziwei and Ye Xiyao.

But what she hadn’t expected at all was that in such a short span, another woman appeared beside Big Brother Li.

This situation inevitably made Mingzhu feel a sense of crisis, and the tone in which she spoke became somewhat more insistent.

"I’m sorry, Big Brother Li is currently busy. If you have something, please call back later!" Wang Yiyi’s lips curled slightly; of course, she would not pass the message to Mingzhu.

The way the other party spoke sounded commanding, as if they took her, Wang Yiyi, for someone insignificant.

Moreover, regarding this suddenly emerging Mingzhu, Wang Yiyi naturally felt wary.

She was already under great pressure facing off against Ye Xiyao and Luo Tianyi; if Mingzhu was also Big Brother Li’s girlfriend, wouldn’t her chances be even slimmer?

Though Wang Yiyi was not the type of woman who coveted vanity, when it came to someone she liked, she naturally wanted to try her best to vie for his attention.

"You, who exactly are you?" Mingzhu, seated in the conference room, was dumbstruck as the other end abruptly hung up on her, leaving her completely frozen.
