One sentence left all three of them stunned.

Zhang Qian looked at Xu Tian in disbelief, "You know the boss?"

Xu Tian was also full of questions. He didn't know anyone here, let alone the boss.

Besides, if he really knew the boss, he wouldn't have lingered here for so long.

"You've got it wrong, haven't you?"

Chen Feng didn't believe that a good-for-nothing like Xu Tian could know any capable people. Chu Lan was just a coincidence. With so many powerful figures in Jiangcheng, how could he possibly know them all?

"Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry. We just learned that you had an appointment here tonight. It was an oversight on our part," the manager said apologetically.

Do you have an appointment?

Xu Tian's brain wasn't working properly. Besides him and Zhao Jing, the only other person who knew about this was Wu Qiang. But Wu Qiang didn't have that ability, so it could only be Zhao Jing.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian couldn't help but smile. It seemed Zhao Jing had planned this in advance before speaking to Zhang Wei; how thoughtful of her!

"You...you made a reservation at Huanghe Teahouse?" Zhang Qian asked hurriedly.

Chen Feng watched from the side, extremely envious, with sparks of jealousy sizzling in his eyes.

"Yes, after all, Huanghe Teahouse is not a place where just anyone can come in."

After saying that, Xu Tian was politely led inside by the manager. Once the time and the people coming were agreed upon, Xu Tian walked out of the teahouse with a sigh of relief.

However, he felt he had seen the layout of this teahouse somewhere before. There seemed to be one in the capital, but it didn't have this name, and its style and atmosphere were very similar to the one there...

"Xu Tian, ​​how did you manage to make a reservation?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian was still there, stubbornly waiting at the door for Xu Tian to come out.

"I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" Chen Feng said irritably.

Xu Tian sneered, "I don't understand what those Tom, Dick, and Harry are saying."

"you……"

"Alright, Chen Feng, let's get down to business first," Zhang Qian reminded him from the side.

Chen Feng snorted coldly. He just couldn't stand Xu Tian's attitude of turning a chicken into a phoenix. He was clearly far superior to Xu Tian in every way, but since his divorce from Zhang Qian, his resources in all aspects had improved dramatically.

"Xu Tian, ​​if you really have connections, could you help me make an appointment? I'm bringing a client here tomorrow to discuss some business."

Zhang Qian changed her attitude from before, and her face became more smiling.

"I can't help you, you should find someone else," Xu Tian bluntly refused.

Zhang Qian was taken aback. "Please help me out of consideration for the years we've been in love. Besides, you haven't been of any help at all in all these years of marriage. Now is the time for you to lend a hand."

"I have no obligation to do so."

After saying that, Xu Tian left.

"Xu Tian, ​​do you really have to go this far?!"

Zhang Qian shouted angrily from behind him.

Xu Tian pretended not to hear and immediately called Zhao Jing to tell her that the matter had been completed.

Less than twenty minutes after hanging up the phone, Zhao Jing appeared in front of him in a great hurry.

"Are you serious?"

"How did you manage to get a reservation at Huanghe Teahouse, which is so difficult to book?"

Xu Tian was a little annoyed. Zhao Jing kept joking with him, even though he already knew what was going on. Zhao Jing was still pretending.

Don't you know in your heart whether it can be done or not?

Zhao Jing was taken aback. What was Xu Tian talking about? She had agreed to the Huanghe Teahouse deal with Zhang Wei, but she wasn't 100% sure. Even though she had entrusted the matter to Xu Tian, ​​she was still racking her brains at home trying to find a way to make a reservation at Huanghe Teahouse.

However, since the matter had already been settled, she no longer cared about Xu Tian's attitude.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing smiled and said, "That's right, with you on the job, one of you is worth three!"

Although she still really wanted to know what method Xu Tian used, seeing that Xu Tian didn't seem to intend to tell her, she didn't ask any further.

The next day, Zhang Wei called Xu Tian early in the morning, sounding very happy, and offered to have dinner with Xu Tian.

Xu Tian knew things had progressed, so he quickly contacted Zhao Jing, and the three of them met at a restaurant.

Zhang Wei knew why they were looking for her; after all, many people had already contacted her before the development zone project was finalized.

"In that case, do you see any chance of a turnaround?" Xu Tian asked tentatively.

Zhang Wei shook his head. "This matter was decided directly by the higher-ups. It will be very difficult to get them to change their minds."

Moreover, with the relocation of the municipal government, many facilities in the development zone need to be improved, and this is not the only project. The leaders at the top no longer have time to hold meetings to discuss matters that have already been decided.

Xu Tian and Zhao Jing looked at each other in bewilderment. They had just explained the advantages of entrusting the project to them and compared it with the Xu Group. Even so, Zhang Wei still felt that this matter would be difficult to handle.

“And most importantly, this is all public money, unlike your private enterprise, so the higher-ups don’t care about this amount at all,” Zhang Wei added.

Zhao Jing was very dissatisfied. Since the matter was impossible to accomplish, Zhang Wei still tried every means to make things difficult for them. Xu Tian had gone to great lengths to accommodate him at the Huanghe Teahouse, a place that was so difficult to book, but in the end, he couldn't even get a word in.

The more Zhao Jing thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the smile on her face disappeared.

“This project is doomed, but I won’t let your efforts go to waste,” Zhang Wei added.

Xu Tian quickly nudged Zhao Jing, signaling her not to look sullen. After all, Zhang Wei was a director, and she couldn't let him look bad just because this matter hadn't been resolved.

"You guys go first, I'm going to the restroom." Zhao Jing got up and left.

"Director Zhang, what do you mean?" Xu Tian asked.

Zhang Wei looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Didn't I tell you? There are a lot of projects in the development zone, and the higher-ups are having a meeting right now."

Xu Tian nodded in sudden realization. Even if he couldn't get the project, if Zhang Wei could help, getting a different development project would be a worthwhile effort.

"But there are a lot of people eyeing it too. You know, projects in the development zone are highly sought after," Zhang Wei said mysteriously.

"That's true, but with your help, we're definitely less competitive than them."

Zhang Wei added, “There are many projects in the development zone, and they are in high demand. However, there are also some projects that no one wants to take on. But that’s precisely why the higher-ups pay special attention to them.”

Afterwards, Zhang Wei explained the implications to Xu Tian, ​​and Xu Tian understood.

There is a large area in the development zone with a large population and the largest land area. A large shopping mall is to be built there, and an economic center integrating entertainment and leisure is also planned. This involves the issue of demolition and relocation.

Most of the houses there are self-built in rural areas, many of which were built by people who fled famine from the south decades ago. Almost every village has an ancestral hall.
