Chapter 1092: 758 Brotherly Love (Thanks for the tip!)

New Year’s Eve.

Zhongjiang Grand Hotel.

To celebrate the completion of the new campus of the key municipal high school three months ahead of schedule, the municipal government held a banquet to thank the contractor—Hanlong Real Estate.

The municipal secretary personally greeted the guests at the hotel entrance.

Several cars arrived in orderly manner, none of them overly luxurious, modest with even the logos kept discreet—safe Volvo.

"President Luo."

The entourage stopped.

The significant secretary approached and actively helped open the door of the central car.

Luo Han, with the image of an upright entrepreneur, stepped out of the car. His smile was soft, "Secretary Lu, this isn’t quite proper; I could have come in on my own. Why trouble yourself with such a grand gesture?"

"President Luo, you flatter us. Hanlong Group has always been a pillar in Zhongjiang, making indelible, outstanding contributions to our city’s development. With this new campus project, you even helped the municipal government save on costs while finishing early. It’s only fitting for me to offer you such courtesies."

What it means to come from the people and go to the people.

The high-level secretary carried no airs about him.

Both parties exchanged friendly greetings and shook hands.

"President Luo, please."

Secretary Lu gestured towards the hotel.

Luo Han nodded, reciprocated the gesture, and was about to step forward with the other party when suddenly, an untimely shout came from behind.

"Hanlong Real Estate is a gang of robbers! Give us back our homes!"

At the hotel entrance.

A group of elite guests could not help but halt.

Security quickly stepped forward to intercept.

Several elderly men and women shouted while holding up banners.

[Hanlong Real Estate Withheld Demolition Compensation, Swindling Common Folk]

That was the slogan on the banner.

The sudden intrusion by these folks severely disrupted the harmonious atmosphere at the entrance of the Zhongjiang Grand Hotel.

Secretary Lu glanced at them, his smile slightly tightening, but he did not speak.

"At first, they threatened us with violence, then sweet-talked us into demolition, but the promised money never came. Now we have to rent places to live, homeless, begging the leaders to do us justice!"

The shouts continued unabated.

Luo Han was fine, his face unchanged, but his accompanying subordinates couldn’t help but pale, hearts pounding with fear.

"Shut up! Leave immediately!"

Security jostled, attempting to drive these people away.

Tugging began.

"Ow! They are hitting us! They are hitting us!"

An old man fell down during the shoving, sitting helplessly and angrily on the ground, "Just because you have money, you can do whatever you want?! Is there no one who can stand up for us commoners?!"

Secretary Lu’s expression remained calm, just about to speak, Luo Han turned to his subordinate, preempting with an imposing tone, "What’s the situation?"

"I’ll handle it right away."

The subordinate, sweating on his forehead, quickly turned and hurried away.

Secretary Lu glanced at his watch, "President Luo, the leaders are waiting, let’s go."

As if nothing had happened, both parties entered the hotel nonchalantly.

Those who make great achievements and stand in high positions cannot afford to be short-sighted, bogged down by trifles.

After the official banquet ended, when Luo Han walked out of the hotel again, the protesting crowd at the entrance was gone.

Luo Han got into his car.

"President Luo, we have cleared things up; they were all original residents of the new school site area, moved due to the demolition."

A Hanlong Group executive reported from the passenger seat.

Luo Han remained silent.

The executive, still anxious, continued to explain, "They created a ruckus today because of the demolition compensation issue. It seems we, Hanlong Real Estate, reached a demolition agreement with them, but after the first payment was made and they moved away, they never received the rest of the money."

"Who’s in charge of the demolition?"

Although the boss showed no anger, the executive knew that such an embarrassing scene at such an important event could only upset the boss.

"It’s President Hanlong."

"The original residents of the new school site were troublemakers. Knowing the site was chosen there, they demanded exorbitant prices, hoping to make a fortune. It was President Hanlong who resolved it."

Anyone else handling matters so poorly would be doomed.

But fortunately, President Hanlong is the boss’s own brother.

"I tried to contact President Hanlong, but couldn’t reach him, and it seems no one knows where he is right now."

The executive communicated cautiously.

"Drive."

Luo Han spoke expressionlessly.

"Daddy."

In the best part of Zhongjiang, a large villa developed by Hanlong Real Estate, as soon as Luo Han entered the house, a little girl watching TV ran over, seemingly a primary school student.

Luo Han affectionately lifted her with both hands.

The girl sniffed him and then scrunched her nose.

"Have you been drinking again?"

"Only a little bit."

Luo Han held her and walked into the living room, sitting on the couch.

"Daddy, mom said she wants to take me to the park tomorrow, is that okay?"

The girl spoke softly.

Luo Han’s smile remained unchanged, "Do you want to go?"

The girl hesitated, then nodded, "Mhm."

"Then let’s go."

Luo Han stroked his daughter’s braids.

"Dad, are you coming too?"

New Year’s festival.

It was time for a family reunion.

Especially for children.

They crave their parents’ company.

Unfortunately, her father wasn’t an ordinary dad, so her mother couldn’t stay by her side.

For someone like Luo Han, perhaps children were needed, but to him, women were trivial.

Among the women he had played with, they were too numerous to count. In his eyes, women were just toys, objects for venting, so after the child was born, he paid a sum of money and then let the woman go.
