I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 38 - Sifang Group 038
38: Sifang Group 038
38: Sifang Group 038
Stepping out of the old library building, Jiang Chen finally took a deep breath.
He admitted that there had been an element of gamble in his actions, but fortunately he had won.
Ai Qian was indeed not that foolish.
In this era where cooked rice could not turn back into raw rice, there was no such love that was undying and irreplaceable.
And had he given in just now, Ai Qian would definitely have taken it as a lesson and wielded threats of suicide as her trump card, leaving him in a world of pain thereafter.
Jiang Chen lifted his head and glanced at the rooftop.
This time.
Ai Qian must have truly given up on him.
“Bro Chen, what did Ai Qian want from you?”
As soon as he returned to the dorm, Bai Zheli hurriedly asked.
“When did you become so gossipy?”
Jiang Chen changed the subject, “Where are Luo Peng and the others?”
“They went to play basketball.”
Jiang Chen nodded, “I’m going to rest for a bit.”
After the ordeal of being held hostage and then being tormented by Ai Qian, he felt exhausted.
He lay down on the bed, took out his phone, and noticed that a few heavyweights in the Emperor chat group were talking.
Master of Fate: “Heard that Sifang Group has just clinched the project for Jinling Cultural and Tourism City, Director Lin, congratulations!”
Dragon Soars Across Seas: “Haha, it’s just a successful bid.
Creating a cultural and tourism city that satisfies the public is a daunting challenge.
I’m under a lot of pressure right now.”
Chi Xin: “Director Lin is too modest.
Who doesn’t know that Sifang Group is a leading real estate company in China?
The Everlasting City project in Chang’an, the eco-tourism area in Chizhou that integrates humans and nature—each one is a benchmark in the industry.
I believe this time will be no exception.”
Sifang Group?
Reading the chat messages in the Emperor group, Jiang Chen quickly thought of the poster he had seen earlier at the construction site.
Wasn’t the contractor for that construction site Sifang Group?
With this in mind, Jiang Chen followed suit and offered a few words of praise in the group, then casually asked, “Director Lin, the construction site on Dongyue Avenue in East Sea Hengfeng District, is that also a Sifang Group project?”
In a majestic office spanning over two hundred square meters, a middle-aged man looked at the message on his phone, slightly surprised.
“I’m not too sure about this.
Is there something you need, Emperor Han?”
Sifang Group, with its main business in real estate, had projects all over the country and a market value of over ten billion.
As the executive director of Sifang Group, the person was only responsible for the general direction of the company’s development and key projects, not every project under the company’s name.
“It’s nothing serious, just that a friend of mine has a child studying at East Sea University, and he’s run into a bit of a conflict with someone named Bai Haoran.
It seems that Bai Haoran is associated with Sifang Group, so I thought I’d ask Director Lin.”
Although the wording was indirect, Lin Rilang, who had maneuvered through the business world, could read between the lines.
Even without knowing the specific background of this Emperor Han, anyone who could nonchalantly tip millions to a female streamer without batting an eye was a testament to their deep resources.
As a businessman, and a successful one at that, Lin Rilang naturally understood the stakes.
He had no intention of inadvertently offending a powerful adversary.
“I see.
Rest assured, Emperor Han, I will immediately send someone to check.”
“Thank you, Director Lin.”
After replying, Lin Rilang didn’t delay and promptly called his secretary in.
“Director Lin.”
“Check if we have a project on Dongyue Avenue in East Sea Hengfeng District, and if there is one, find out about someone named Bai Haoran.”
“Yes.”
The efficiency of a large corporation was apparent.
Orders issued from this office were swiftly passed down through the ranks.
Eventually, they reached the material contractor at the Dongyue Avenue construction site.
Upon hearing that Lin Rilang was personally inquiring, the fat-eared contractor, who was worth over ten million and drove a Land Rover, instantly broke out in a cold sweat and quickly pulled out his phone to call Bai Haoran.
“Mr.
Xiao.”
“Bai Haoran, what on earth have you done recently!”
Mr.
Xiao couldn’t be bothered with pleasantries and bluntly demanded answers.
In this line of work, it’s inevitable to deal with the underworld.
He had a good relationship with Bai Haoran, so he made up a supervisory title for Bai Haoran at the construction site.
Bai Haoran didn’t have to work and received a salary for nothing, a way to deepen their relationship.
But how could he have known that the other party would bring him such a huge trouble?
He couldn’t imagine what it would take to alarm someone like Director Lin.
All he knew was that for a big shot like Director Lin, squashing him would be as simple as squashing an ant!
“Mr.
Xiao, what happened?”
Bai Haoran was a bit baffled.
“What happened?
You’re asking me what happened?
Lin Rilang, the executive director of Sifang Group, just ordered an investigation into your background.
Haoran, you must have some serious clout.
Even I don’t have that kind of fortune!”
Bai Haoran’s face changed slightly upon hearing this.
Nowadays, it’s not the old society where one could conquer the world with their fists.
In this era, it’s money that reigns supreme, capital is king!
People like the directors of Sifang Group, playing around with a small character like him was just like a game.
As for the hoodlums in gangster films acting tough and challenging business moguls, that’s all bullshit!
It’s performed for the audience!
If the two really went to battle, the former wouldn’t even know how they died!
“Mr.
Xiao, I really didn’t do anything!”
Shocked, Bai Haoran was also completely confused.
“You did nothing and Director Lin is investigating you?!”
Mr.
Xiao was fuming, spitting as he spoke.
Bai Haoran was his friend, and if it came down to it, he would surely not be able to escape involvement.
“I’ll go and dig some more, but you’d better think carefully.
You understand that if those things you did before get revealed, you probably won’t get out of prison for the rest of your life!”
Mr.
Xiao hung up the phone to investigate the situation.
Bai Haoran racked his brain, and after much thought, he could only think of one person.
That student from East Sea University.
Jiang Chen.
Could it be because of that kid?!
“Have you been bullying a university student lately?”
A few hours later, Mr.
Xiao called again.
Upon hearing this, Bai Haoran felt a sudden jolt in his heart, instinctively remembering the rambling words of that kid from before.
My family is actually rich.
I’ll write you an IOU.
Is fifty thousand enough…
Could it be.
Possibly.
This kid wasn’t fooling him but was actually pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?!
“Yes, but I didn’t really do anything to him…”
Bai Haoran steadied himself.
“Go apologize to that student immediately!!!”
Mr.
Xiao on the other end of the phone seemed to have jumped up.
“Bai Haoran, you can damn well want to die, but don’t drag me down with you!”
Bai Haoran’s expression turned wooden, as he took a deep breath.
He might be ruthless, but he knew how to assess the situation.
If an ordinary university student was an ant in his eyes, then in the eyes of a Sifang Group director, he was also an ant.
“I understand.”
