Investigate a company called Jinbi and let me know when you have something,” Liu Hun said to Zhong Xiao.

The sudden turn of events forced him to change his original plans.

Liu Hun waited until the end of the workday before he received a message from Zhong Xiao.

“Boss, I found it.

This company called Jinbi is in construction,” Zhong Xiao said on the phone.

“In construction?” Liu Hun expressed surprise and then immediately understood.

This so-called Jinbi Company must be connected to Zhou Chuanke.

Zhou Chuanke had temporarily obtained the project to undertake the performance and, as a trusted aide of Chen Kang, was very likely to receive the lion’s share of the municipal grants in three projects.

So, he would never let this lucrative opportunity slip into someone else’s hands.

Indeed, it was a good chance for government-business collusion to make a fortune.

“Boss, there’s another piece of news.

This Jinbi Company has recently registered a subsidiary with the Trade Bureau, including cultural performances and other activities in its business scope,” Zhong Xiao summarized the news he gathered from various sources for Liu Hun.

Just as he thought, Liu Hun considered, immediately telling Zhong Xiao, “Try to investigate this Jinbi Company, and it would be best if you can make contact.

Be quick; we don’t have much time.”

“Boss, I understand!” Zhong Xiao hung up the phone after speaking.

Liu Hun trusted Zhong Xiao’s capability, but the fast-approaching performance date made him anxious.

If they couldn’t dig up anything on Jinbi Company, then all their efforts would be in vain, and Jiang Fengqin’s plan to get close to Wang Junmin would be spoiled as well.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiao did not fail Liu Hun’s trust, and three days later, he called Liu Hun, “Boss, I’ve contacted the general manager of Jinbi Company, Ren Qiangsheng.

He has agreed to come to Qianqian Club tonight.”

“Very good!

Wait for me, I’ll be right there; then we’ll discuss further,” Liu Hun said, then hung up the phone.

Liu Hun immediately left the City Committee building, drove to the Qianqian Club, and after entering the secret private room, saw Zhong Xiao waiting there.

“Boss!”

“Sit down!

No need for so many formalities, tell me what’s going on,” Liu Hun motioned for Zhong Xiao to sit as he asked.

“Boss, do you remember the mineral development in Baoshan Village we were involved in before?” Zhong Xiao suddenly asked.

Liu Hun nodded; it was where everything had started for him; of course, he wouldn’t forget.

“Initially, the company competing with us later had its shares swallowed by us in the industrial park of Anchang County.

This Jinbi Company had collaborated with them before, so through their connections, I managed to arrange a meeting with this Ren Qiangsheng,” Zhong Xiao briefly explained the complicated process to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun hadn’t expected Zhong Xiao to dig up Ren Qiangsheng through such complex relationships, so he shared a set of prepared arguments with Zhong Xiao.

The two had just finished whispering when the intercom buzzed, with Erzi’s voice coming through, “Brother Zhong, that Ren Qiangsheng has arrived.”

Zhong Xiao immediately stood up, “Boss, I’ll go and handle it.” After speaking, Zhong Xiao went to the adjoining private room, and at that time, Erzi brought Ren Qiangsheng in as well.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhong Xiao called for two hostesses, each sitting close to Ren Qiangsheng on either side.

“I have long heard of General Manager Ren’s great name, and today I am fortunate to meet you.

I propose a toast to General Manager Ren,” Zhong Xiao politely raised his glass towards Ren Qiangsheng.

Pressed by the four bunches of flesh from the two hostesses, Ren Qiangsheng was already grinning ear to ear.

Hearing the famous Zhong Xiao from the Dao toasting him, his mood soared even higher, “Manager Zhong, I propose a toast to you!”

After three rounds of drinks, Zhong Xiao steered the conversation to the main topic, “General Manager Ren, I heard you’ve recently taken on a big project?”

“Awesome!

Awesome!” Ren Qiangsheng grabbed a meatball with one hand and gave a thumbs-up to Zhong Xiao with the other.

“To be honest with you, Mr.

Zhong, I’ve indeed landed a big contract.

You know about the big celebrity performance that the city is planning to host soon, right?

That’s the one!”

“My young friend, congratulations Mr.

Ren!

Cheers to you!” Zhong Xiao said, pouring another drink for Ren Qiangsheng, then continued, “But…

I’ve heard that you were in construction before, and undertaking a celebrity performance is a big deal, a tribute to Lion City.

I happen to know some friends, so if there’s anything you need, feel free to ask.”

Ren Qiangsheng, a man who had made big deals, not just a common coal tycoon, felt there might be some truth to it when Zhong Xiao pointed that out.

“Manager Zhong, without you mentioning it, I wouldn’t have realized it, but now that you’ve brought it up, it really seems to be something.”

Seeing Ren Qiangsheng taking the bait, Zhong Xiao quickly threw out his bait, “I have a favor to ask, I hope you can help.”

Ren Qiangsheng, arm around two ladies and in high spirits, cheerfully nodded, “Go ahead.

Say it!”

“Would you mind letting me take over this deal?” Zhong Xiao revealed his desire.

Seeing Ren Qiangsheng looking somewhat troubled, he quickly added, “Of course, brother isn’t asking for a handout.

You’re also looking to make money from this, right?

Evaluate how much you would earn from this deal, and whatever the amount, I’ll add an additional five hundred thousand.

Plus, the project’s title will still be under your company’s name.

This way, Mr.

Ren, you’d gain both fame and profit.

How does that sound?”

It sounded like a fairy tale to Ren Qiangsheng.

If it weren’t for the fact that a well-known figure from the underworld sat before him, he would have believed the man was treating him like a fool.

“Manager Zhong, with such a cheap offer, I must ask, why?”

Zhong Xiao pretended to hesitate for a long while before hesitantly speaking, “Since the topic has come this far, I might as well be frank.

I’ve long heard of Wang Junmin’s allure.

Through some channels, I learned about her price.

I’ve been utterly enamored with her ever since seeing her on TV, which is why I’m still single.

So, by seizing this opportunity of her coming to Yuhua City, I wanted to showcase my worth.

If I could win her heart, I would be extremely grateful to you, Mr.

Ren!”

Finally, Ren Qiangsheng understood.

It was all for an actor.

“Well said!

A land and a beauty!

Which hero doesn’t love them?

I, Ren Qiangsheng, support you!

Tomorrow I’ll have someone evaluate the project!

Here, brother, cheers to you!”

“Thank you for your help, Mr.

Ren!

This is to you!” Zhong Xiao said, raising his glass to reciprocate.

At this moment, Ren Qiangsheng felt elated.

He hadn’t expected to stumble upon such a good deal today, meeting a fool obsessed with an actor.

It would be a shame if he didn’t take full advantage of him, not living up to the title “businessman.”

Taking the advantage, Ren Qiangsheng efficiently had the assessment and quote sent to Zhong Xiao the next day.

As soon as Yan Xuesong saw it, he exploded, “Damn, does he think this is gold mining?

That Ren Qiangsheng is shameless!”

“Better have Mr.

Liu make a call and see,” Zhong Xiao knew Yan Xuesong was also a businessman, but he understood that many things were much more important to Liu Hun than money.

Having said that, Zhong Xiao immediately called Liu Hun, “Mr.

Liu, we’ve received Ren Qiangsheng’s quote.

He’s asking for a million more than we assessed, not including the promised five hundred thousand.”

Liu Hun, without hesitation, instructed Zhong Xiao, “Agree to it.

The money he swallows will have to be spat out eventually.

This is a big deal, talk it over with him but don’t leave anything in writing.

Then follow the plan we’ve laid out.”

“I understand!” Zhong Xiao crisply replied, then hung up the call.

The grand cultural performance in Yuhua City celebrating the return to Lion City was once again held at Da Li Square.

Due to the strong political undertones of this event, the number of attendees far surpassed the last, with Chen Kang inviting many socialites and provincial legislatures and political advisory leaders.

Liu Hun remained in his private room, watching the tens of thousands below, unable to resist imagining Chen Kang’s face later.

“Mr.

Liu, everything backstage is ready,” Zhong Xiao reported, standing next to Liu Hun.

Liu Hun nodded, swirled the red wine in his glass, and looked at the giant screen.

Seeing Wang Junmin’s ethereal beauty, he chuckled coldly.

“Ding, ding, ding…

Ding, ding, ding…” While Chen Kang was enjoying the performance, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up, immediately understood what was happening, and promptly said to the leaders beside him, “Chairman Cheng, Commissioner Lin, I have a personal matter to attend to, please excuse me.”

The two provincial leaders nodded in understanding, and Chen Kang, bending slightly and using the shadows, left the performance venue.

Almost sprinting, he dashed to the business hotel on the second level of Da Li Square, arriving at the door of room 211 using the VIP elevator.

Only now did he realize just how perfect the setup at Da Li Square was; after any indulgence, one could immediately come here to relax.

“Knock, knock…

Knock, knock, knock…” Chen Kang knocked, as previously agreed, the secret signal.
