Lame Liu!

562: Chapter 562: Deep Calculations!

Lame Liu!

Passion like fire!

Attitude positive!

Amidst various laughter and promises, Wu Jie thanked everyone again and again as he got in the car and departed.

Such a scene truly resembled fans bidding farewell to a star.

Even after the car was gone, many people were still waving goodbye.

An investment of fifty billion…

The effect is truly extraordinary!

Wu Jie couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, only to lament how fate plays tricks on people.

If it was in the past…

He was just a poor student, an ordinary office worker.

Going home on vacation meant a long and bumpy journey, nowhere near this enthusiastic treatment.

He probably wouldn’t even have the qualification to enter the yard.

Unlike now.

Amidst his reflection, Wu Jie still had his mind on important matters.

So…

As soon as the car left the compound, Wu Jie called Tang Xiao.

He thought he could head back to the village all the way, but because of the delay due to the lunch banquet, Tang Xiao and her group were almost at the county town already.

He casually mentioned the investment in the highway construction, and Tang Xiao did not oppose it; on the contrary, she strongly supported it.

After all…

The couple were now in a competitive relationship, and Wu Jie’s eighty-four billion Gold Coins were not within her right to question.

Wu Jie entrusting such a huge project to the group was, of course, something Tang Xiao was too pleased about.

On the phone.

Wu Jie and Tang Xiao discussed the matter.

The group had been working on infrastructure projects for more than a year or two, possessing a strong team of talent and engineering strength.

For such a significant project and large investment, Tang Xiao naturally showed her true colors as a ‘wise and supportive wife.’

Wu Jie didn’t need to consider too much, as she had already thought everything through very comprehensively and thoroughly.

…

The Audi and the truck roared off, leaving the provincial city behind.

And the news of Wu Jie’s fifty-billion investment in highway construction spread quickly.

After all, so many people attended the midday banquet, and there were representatives from various departments.

Doesn’t everyone have a few relatives and friends?

And for such a large project, many sections would definitely need to be allocated.

Tunnels, bridges, roads…

Steel, cement, sand and stone…

Such a massive infrastructure project would naturally require many small and medium-sized contractors and raw material suppliers!

It was as if a colossal cake had appeared, and naturally, there were many eagerly sharpening their knives.

All the world hustles and bustles for profit!

Construction projects were inherently lucrative; otherwise, why would so many contractors drive Land Rovers and dominate the roads?

To secure projects, many would surely begin to make their moves.

Wu Jie had anticipated this.

It wouldn’t be long before all sorts of distant relatives, classmates and teachers, fellow villagers and colleagues, would emerge, asking for favors and seeking help.

A fifty-billion project could make one fabulously wealthy just by skimming off the top.

But Wu Jie had already discussed this with Tang Xiao.

Since the investor was Wu Jie and the constructor was their own group, and moreover, it was to benefit his hometown!

Then this project must be made into a showcase, absolutely not shoddy work, with cut corners that would poke at one’s backbone.

Otherwise, just a year or two after opening, it would face issues like road collapses, landslides, foundation failures, and surface cracks…

So, those who were mediocre but hoped to win contracts through influence should not entertain vain hopes.

Tanglong Industrial Group had been in the construction business for many years now, with senior engineers in abundance; trying to deceive experts was a joke!

Moreover.

This highway would incorporate many high-tech elements.

During major holidays, the highways will inevitably be jammed up.

Arbitrary lane changes and slow driving were two of the main culprits.

Wu Jie demanded that a solution be found so that the entire highway would be wider, straighter, and smoother to drive on, without the frequent need for random speed limits.

Just imagine.

Racing at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, only to suddenly face a speed limit of 80.

A sudden stop could easily cause a rear-end collision and lead to extensive traffic jams.

If the whole route managed to maintain a speed limit of 120, then the efficiency would naturally be high.

Of course!

Some people deliberately drive very slowly or even talk on the phone or play with their mobile phones while driving…

Such slow driving, once two or three cars are running side by side, it’s like a bottleneck, clogging up the road.

It can easily create the strange spectacle of ‘devil’s traffic jam.’

Even without accidents, it causes a large number of vehicles to move slowly.

In conclusion.

Wu Jie hoped the group would come up with solutions to cure these problematic drivers.

The highway was to efficiently and conveniently connect the two major cities.

If the design standard was for daily traffic of hundreds of thousands of vehicles, it should not be jammed up with just tens of thousands of vehicles.

The group, in various fields such as construction engineering, information networks, new materials, and systems integration, had many high-tech tools at their disposal.

If the high-way showed good demonstrative effects, it would inevitably lead other highways to adopt similar approaches, which is also good for business!

…

On the way, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao talked on the phone for quite a long time.

Until Tang Xiao entered a mountain area with bad signal, and they ended their conversation.

But the journey home was long and arduous.

Without direct highway access, winding along the snaky provincial roads, it was bound to be agonizingly slow.

The road was already narrow, with plenty of uphill, downhill, and curves, and there were quite a few cars on the weekend as well.

To make matters worse, they encountered a traffic accident ahead which caused a standstill for over an hour, not moving an inch.

Chen was so anxious that he kept calling to urge the duty traffic police from nearby counties to come and handle the situation quickly.

By the time Wu Jie’s two cars arrived in the county town, Tang Xiao and the others had long reached their hometown.

In the scorching summer.

Being stuck in traffic for over an hour was not only excruciatingly urgent for a restroom break but also very fuel-intensive with the air conditioning on!

So upon reaching the county town, they quickly looked for a gas station to use the restroom and take a break.

Chen came in a rush and left in a rush.

Wu Jie, on the other hand, liked to smoke a cigarette while squatting in the toilet to ease the exhaustion of the journey, which was definitely a good method.

While puffing clouds of smoke, someone else entered the restroom.

Listening to the voice, it actually sounded very familiar.

“Damn it!

This lousy road gets jammed every other day, it’s really infuriating!”

“What the hell!

If it was really possible, could our makeshift schemes actually manage to deal with it?”

…

Amidst the laughter and conversation, the two speakers left.

Wu Jie knitted his brows in thought.

At first, he couldn’t remember who it was, but the words “feng shui” suddenly reminded him of the very famous Master Liu back in the county.

Back then.

He used to be the honored guest of the local bully, Cheng Bao!

That night, when Cheng Bao led his men to attack Wu Jie’s home, Liu Er was also among them.

But they didn’t expect that the father and son duo, Wu Jie, were not easy to bully and, armed with shovels and hoes, they taught them a lesson in how to behave within minutes.

The beating was pitiful beyond measure, and Liu Er himself was seriously injured and hospitalized.

As time passed.

The local bully, the Cheng Family, had long been annihilated, and Hong Cheng, who was notorious in the county for being tyrannical, had also chosen to commit suicide, unable to bear the torment of illness.

As for this Master Liu…

it seemed he was still bluffing and deceiving!

Wu Jie gave a sheepish smile.

Suddenly, he remembered an old saying from back home, a dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.

Liu Er, wanting to make a living, naturally could only stick to his old trade.

After comfortably finishing up in the toilet and coming out of the stall, Wu Jie walked unhurriedly toward the sink.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the thin figure of Liu Er, leaning on a walking stick, slowly making his way to the gas station along with a fat man.

Inside the gas station, apart from his own black Audi and the cargo trucks, there was only one white BMW.

Looking at Liu Er’s attire, it seemed he was still doing well for himself!

Being a master and driving a BMW, his days were quite comfortable.

After washing his hands, he walked back at a leisurely pace.

Actually, Wu Jie didn’t take Liu Er to heart at all.

This kind of scam artist, relying on feng shui and conducting rituals for money, was also cheating people based on his ability.

After all, some people are superstitious and need to consult for illness, misfortune, marriage, childbirth, and even more so for moving and starting construction…

Superstitious people always need to spend some money on a Feng Shui Master like Liu Er to feel at peace.

So, it really is a case of the willing being fleeced and the fleecer willing to fleece.

Moreover, having already been punished for helping Cheng Bao by getting beaten into a cripple, Liu Er had received his punishment.

Wu Jie was not a petty person who would harp on such trifles.

He was already a billionaire, even Tan had to call him brother, and he could confront a special envoy from the Star Federation…

And Liu Er?

What was he?

Bullying such a small fry didn’t give him any sense of achievement in showing off or smacking faces!

So…

Seeing him but pretending not to, as if he was a stranger.

He continued his path straight towards the Audi sedan, Wu Jie didn’t look sideways and didn’t even glance at Liu Er.

But Liu Er, with a sneaky look and a habitual habit of looking around wherever he went, quickly spotted Wu Jie.

In an instant.

Liu Er stopped moving, he stood in place, leaning on his crutch, with a highly complex expression staring at Wu Jie.

He didn’t shout or rage or start a fight, just stared blankly.

“Hey, Brother Master, let’s go!

What are you spacing out for?”

The fat man was walking ahead and suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask.

Liu Er said nothing, and as the fat man followed his gaze, he saw Wu Jie.

“Whoa!

Isn’t that the notorious freeloader king?”

The fat man mocked out of the blue.

Wu Jie treated it as the barking of a stray dog, thinking that getting back home was the priority and not intending to lower himself to the level of such people.

A small fry will always be a small fry!

Can’t stand to see someone else succeed, with a narrow mind and easily green with envy.

But Wu Jie was in a rush and really didn’t want to bother with it.

However…

He hadn’t taken many steps before Liu Er couldn’t hold back any longer.

“Wu!

You left me disabled, do you think that’s the end of it?”

“Don’t act all high and mighty, thinking you’re something special!

I recognize you, even if you turned to ashes!”

Liu Er hobbled over, using his crutch.

His eyes were fierce, his expression venomous.

He had once been so braggingly successful, living a comfortable and relaxing life in this little county.

And now?

People still called him Master Liu, but they no longer held him in the same respect as before.

Having lost Hong Cheng as a major financial source, Liu Er’s income had greatly diminished.

What infuriated Liu Er the most was…

Master Liu!

Lame Liu!

These two titles stuck to him like labels.

The old injury kept him from standing up straight; the pain compromised his internal organs, making his digestive system particularly bad.

So even after being discharged from the hospital, Liu Er still couldn’t eat well or sleep well, and his body naturally became more emaciated.

Fuming with rage, Liu Er approached Wu Jie, his gaze cold and his teeth clenching.

But as for taking action…

he really didn’t have the guts or the strength.

Looking at Wu Jie’s current aura of wealth, there was a sense of composure without anger.

Liu Er, on the other hand, suddenly had an idea and decided to extort a sum of money.

“You really have made a name for yourself now, renowned far and wide!”

“But don’t forget, this disabled body and pain, you caused them!”

“You can’t just let this go without compensating me, that wouldn’t be right, would it?”

“If I broadcast this affair, it won’t be good for your reputation, will it?”

“Give me some money, I promise I will never let the world know, and your image will still be flawless!”

…
