Chapter 85 - 85 81 079 The Exorbitantly Priced Chandelier

85: Chapter 81 Chapter 079: The Exorbitantly Priced Chandelier 85: Chapter 81 Chapter 079: The Exorbitantly Priced Chandelier Afterward, Vice Director Qian immediately took out a large pile of documents for Feng Zhi Xiao to sign.

Feng Zhi Xiao, treating Vice Director Qian as one of his own, signed whatever documents were presented to him.

This time, Vice Director Qian seriously scammed Feng Zhi Xiao for a good sum.

“Vice Director Qian, this…” the manager by his side hastily looked at Vice Director Qian.

“Hmm?

What’s wrong?” Vice Director Qian cracked a smile, a hint of darkness flitting across his face.

The manager quickly said, “Ye Chen called yesterday, asking us to prepare about five hundred thousand worth of renovation materials, but…

but you’ve allocated three million!”

“It’s okay, we need to provide the customers with the highest quality service,” Vice Director Qian huffed.

The manager immediately dared not speak.

He knew a bit about the affairs at the head office, especially regarding Vice Director Qian’s immediate showing off of underwear and lingerie, flaunting his physique in the lobby.

In fact, the manager admired Ye Chen’s boldness to the extreme; this guy had the audacity to deeply offend Vice Director Qian as soon as he joined the company.

Feng Zhi Xiao signed around a dozen documents; it could be said that his hand was sore from all the signing.

“Vice Director Qian, is it not settled yet?” Feng Zhi Xiao showed a bitter smile.

“Alright, alright, just one last one!” Vice Director Qian hurriedly took out the last document, saying, “This is the last one, and after it’s done, I’ll arrange for the materials to be prepared for your renovation!”

“Okay then!” Feng Zhi Xiao finally signed the last document, but inadvertently, he saw the price on that document and asked in astonishment, “What kind of lamp is this?

A crystal chandelier worth a hundred and fifty thousand?”

“Ah…” Vice Director Qian was startled, hurriedly explaining, “Don’t worry, this is what Ye Chen has prepared for you.

It’s all about the effect!”

The former Vice Director was indeed cunning, managing to give Feng Zhi Xiao material orders worth three million six hundred thousand, not including the labor costs for the decor, as well as some substantial loss fees.

The entire hotpot city’s renovation was estimated to cost at least four million in the end.

With such a hefty price, if Ye Chen found out, he would undoubtedly be furious.

“Okay then, Brother Chen really did get an expensive lamp!” Feng Zhi Xiao muttered as he left the Tianya Group’s decorating company with his little brother.

Subsequently, the hotpot city in University City officially began renovations, while some dark shadows lurked around the vicinity, investigating internal progress and various situations.

Ye Chen got up early from his bed, washed up quickly, and then rushed out, driving his Oto, continuing to work in the North District.

Yesterday was almost maddening.

But after a night’s rest, his energy had been restored.

Moreover, he vaguely had some rough ideas in his mind.

Seizing this clue, Ye Chen immediately headed towards the North District.

“Ye Chen!” A tender voice intercepted Ye Chen on the road.

He promptly hit the brakes.

Fang Fei had already arranged to meet with Ye Chen at the intersection, but he was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he almost missed her.

“Have you had breakfast?” Ye Chen asked cheerfully.

“Yep, I have!” Fang Fei nodded.

After getting in the car, she began applying makeup and skincare products…

After a whole day, Fang Fei’s skin had noticeably darkened.

Therefore, today she specially bought lots of hydrating and sunscreen products from Watson’s.

Fang Fei handed Ye Chen a box of sunscreen and asked, “Do you want to apply some?”

“No need!” Ye Chen immediately shook his head.

“Ye Chen, do you really not have a girlfriend?” Fang Fei asked with a curious look.

After running around with Ye Chen for a day, she had formed a preliminary understanding of him.

Ye Chen was a man who truly knew how to care for others.

Moreover, he was sensitive at heart.

Even though he wasn’t wealthy, at least he had ambition—a man like him represented potential to a woman, someone whose value might increase in the future.

“None, why?

Are you trying to fill the vacancy?” Ye Chen grinned with a smile.

“Hmph, I certainly don’t want to!” Fang Fei immediately huffed, her face turning red and looking irresistibly charming.

After rejecting his comment, she curiously asked, “Well…

what kind of girls do you like?

Maybe I can introduce someone to you!”

“That…

I think having a connection is the most important; to have common language and topics!” Ye Chen chuckled.

Fang Fei nodded thoughtfully, and soon, the two arrived at the North District.

They threw the car to the side of the road; such a broken vehicle was probably of no interest to anyone.

Just as they were about to cross the patch of land once again, a yellow-haired kid shouted, “Big brother!”

“Jiang Wei?” Ye Chen was startled, watching the yellow-haired kid walking over with a few others.

He greeted them with a big smile and asked, “What are you doing here with these guys?”

“Oh, lately Yan Bu’er has been intent on guarding this plot of land, so me and a few little brothers specially came over to see if there’s gold or something on this land!” Jiang Wei chuckled, then handed Ye Chen a Zhonghua cigarette.

Ye Chen took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and Jiang Wei immediately lit it for him.

Ye Chen curiously asked, “Are you talking about this piece of land?”

“Exactly!” Jiang Wei nodded.

“But isn’t this land owned by Tianya Group?” Ye Chen queried.

“That’s what people say, it appears to be Tianya Group’s on the surface, but in reality, it’s controlled by Yan Bu’er in the shadows!” Jiang Wei grinned and said, “Big Brother might not be familiar with the situation in Jiangbei City.

Let me put it this way, in Jiangbei City, by day the police carry guns, and at night they carry knives.

Yan Bu’er is the boss of the Flame Dragon Gang.

He had his eyes on this plot of land before, but then Tianya Group beat his offer with a higher price.”

“So, Yan Bu’er is unwilling to accept this and has been obstructing Tianya Group’s management and development of the land?” Ye Chen frowned.

“Exactly!” Jiang Wei affirmed.

“What else do you know?” Ye Chen quickly pressed.

Jiang Wei glanced around, the little brothers all backed off, and Ye Chen signaled Fang Fei to step aside as well.

There were only Jiang Wei and Ye Chen left within five meters.

Jiang Wei leaned close to Ye Chen’s ear and muttered, “Since you’re my cheap big brother, I’ll let you in on this news, within three months, the City Government will announce a decision, the City Government will relocate right across from this plot of land, hence, this land will demonstrate huge promotional space.

Whether constructing residential buildings or a commercial center, it all holds great potential.

Yan Bu’er has known this news for a long time…”

Ssst…

Ye Chen’s eyes widened in astonishment.

What he thought was a simple project turned out to involve so much intrigue and infighting.

It was no surprise that Yan Bu’er and Jiang Zhonggen had collusion and dealings, so him knowing this wasn’t strange.

Jiang Wei is Jiang Zhonggen’s son, it made sense for him to know it too.

And within the City Government, probably only a few big shots from the planning department would be aware.

Ye Chen involuntarily inhaled sharply and anxiously asked, “Jiang Wei, is this news absolutely reliable?”

“Yes, absolutely reliable, you’ll see for yourself within three months!” Jiang Wei nodded gravely.

“Very good!” Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, suddenly emitting an intense murderous aura, and looked at Jiang Wei, “Jiang Wei, do you want to pull off a big one?”

“A big one?” Jiang Wei blinked in confusion.

“Take down the Flame Dragon Gang, and I’ll make you the boss of the number one gang in Jianghuai City, how about that?” Ye Chen said, gripping Jiang Wei’s shoulder.

Jiang Wei had been an idler since he was young, spending most of his time loafing around, he managed a small gang relying on the fact he was the City Secretary’s son, and everyone somewhat acknowledged him, so he had a dozen or so little brothers under his control.

Since Jiang Wei didn’t have a head for business, spending his days indulging in pleasures, he despised collecting protection money; deceit and stealing were even beneath him.

In short, he was essentially a small-time thug who didn’t know the first thing about running an underworld gang.

“Alright!” Jiang Wei replied, instantly excited.

“Great, wait for me, I’ll take you somewhere right now!” After finishing his words, Ye Chen turned and gestured to Fang Fei.

Fang Fei pouted, visibly dissatisfied with Ye Chen, while Jiang Wei and the others were in high spirits watching her playful antics, whistling crudely at her, and Jiang Wei said with a smirk, “Big Brother, this woman’s got a nice ass, big curves, have you had her yet?”

Fang Fei’s forehead creased with a line of frustration…

Embarrassed, Ye Chen said to Fang Fei, “Fang Fei, today’s mission ends here, go straight back to the office, then notify the other teams to come back quickly!”

“Okay!” Fang Fei seemed to realize something big was brewing, nodded hurriedly, and flagged down a taxi to leave in a rush.

Ye Chen glanced at Jiang Wei and the others, “You come with me, let them figure out their way to University City.”

Under Jiang Wei’s commands, everyone started to hail cabs on the road, while Ye Chen drove the small Oto nimble through the city streets.

They quickly arrived at University City, and even though it wasn’t a holiday, it was still bustling with people streaming back and forth.

Ye Chen led Jiang Wei to a hotpot restaurant.
