Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 70 A tough nut to crack
In many parts of the South, people attach great importance to ancestral halls and similar matters, even regarding them as their lifeblood, which is why this is a major headache for the government.
According to Zhang Wei, it wasn't that no company had ever taken on this job before, but without exception, they were all driven out by the villagers working together.
The Xu Group also tried, and when the villagers realized they couldn't fight back, they created a suicide squad list.
Those who sacrificed their lives for the demolition project were enshrined at the very front of the ancestral hall, and their family genealogy was also recorded separately. The elderly and children in their families would also receive care from the entire village.
Everything else is fine, but creating a separate family genealogy is a matter of bringing honor to one's ancestors.
When the municipal government learned of this, it immediately ordered all construction teams to stop work, and the Xu Group withdrew from the project.
We'd have to fight them to the death! If someone dies because of the development zone project, the higher-ups will be held responsible.
Xu Tian looked serious. If even the Xu Group couldn't handle this, how could his newly established small company possibly manage it?
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Zhang Wei said again,
"Don't think I'm making things difficult for you. I can guarantee you that as long as you handle the troublemakers in that area, I'll hand over the project there to you."
With that, Zhang Wei paid the bill and left.
Xu Tian was still pondering what to do about this matter. It was certainly as difficult as climbing to the sky, but the huge rewards were also certain. Large shopping malls and hospitals were massive projects, equivalent to taking on several projects, and each project was more tempting than what the Xu Group had offered.
Zhao Jing had already returned by then.
"Where is he? He just left like that?"
"I absolutely have to go to his workplace and give him a piece of my mind. He treats us like dogs, it's infuriating!"
Zhao Jing gritted her teeth in anger. She should have just gone to the Yellow Crane Teahouse to spend some money, since she had never been inside before.
"It really gave him an advantage!"
Zhao Jing grew angrier the more she thought about it, and wished she could go and confront Zhang Wei right now.
"You mean, besides this project, we have no other options?" Xu Tian suddenly asked.
Zhao Jing looked at Xu Tian and said, "Are you angry too? I know you work very hard. We don't need to ruin our health over people like this. Come here, let me pat your head and give you a hug."
As she spoke, Zhao Jing moved closer.
Xu Tian, his face darkening, pushed her away.
"Why can't you ever be serious!"
Xu Tian then told her what had just happened.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing unleashed her full power and started cursing.
"That old bastard actually said these things to you; he's deliberately trying to kill us!"
Seeing this, Xu Tian realized that Zhao Jing must also know about this, so he quickly advised her to calm down and asked for more details.
Zhao Jing's statement is almost identical to Zhang Wei's; it is indeed difficult, very difficult.
"Don't even think about it, it's definitely not going to work. Even the Xu Group can't do anything about it, how could you and I?" Zhao Jing said.
Xu Tian remained silent. His company was just starting out, and what it needed most was to open up the market. Everyone knew this, but no one could do it. If he could, Xusheng Group would take a leap forward.
No! Two!
After Xu Tian had an idea, he drove directly to find Chu Lan. Chu Lan had dealt with them before, so it would be better to ask her directly for the information.
Zhao Jing rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, but she couldn't do anything about Xu Tian, so she had no choice but to let her be.
Chu Lan's office.
Xu Tian was questioning Chu Lan, who showed a rare look of surprise.
"You...you're interested in this..."
"I'm still interested in the development projects there."
Since Chu Lan was one of their own, Xu Tian said it directly.
Chu Lan subconsciously shook her head. "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I don't want you to get involved in this mess."
As she spoke, Chu Lan sighed. Since taking office, there had never been anything she couldn't do, but when faced with those who charged into battle, willing to risk their lives to protect the ancestral hall, she felt fear for the first time.
Moreover, she couldn't understand why those people were so obsessed with the ancestral hall.
Demolition can not only bring a large amount of compensation, but also improve the quality of life in that area. However, those people seem to be unable to listen to reason. As long as the topic of demolishing ancestral halls comes up, they act as if they have no regard for their lives.
In the end, Chu Lan's name became synonymous with a sinner in that region, hated by everyone.
This was the most complete defeat she had ever suffered since she started working.
Therefore, she did not want Xu Tian to take any risks. Chu Lan had already figured out what Xu Tian wanted by taking this unorthodox path.
“Young Master, if you urgently need Xusheng Group to grow bigger and stronger, I can directly hand over half of the Xu Group’s assets to you, or you can directly inherit the Xu Group.”
"I believe that under your leadership, the Xu Group..."
"Chu Lan, you've got it wrong."
Before Chu Lan could finish speaking, Xu Tian interrupted her.
However, this was the first time he had seen Chu Lan so bewildered and even frightened.
Chu Lan added, "Or I could inject funds into Xusheng Group. With those funds, Jiangcheng would have many..."
Xu Tian smiled and shook his head. "I remember telling you that I want to work hard to run a good company."
“I know, or you can suggest a compromise. I’ll help with anything I can.”
At this point, a pleading look appeared on Chu Lan's face. She didn't want Xu Tian to experience what she had gone through—those countless nights she had been awakened by nightmares, which still haunted her to this day.
Xu Tian smiled wryly, "You... you're just too worried. I want to give it a try, and no one can change my mind."
"That's because you have no idea how terrifying those people are!" Chu Lan roared uncontrollably.
Xu Tian was stunned, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he felt a little sorry for Chu Lan.
Just how extreme were those people to make Chu Lan so shocked and unable to control his expression when they were mentioned?
How did Chu Lan survive those harrowing days?
She is a career woman, decisive and efficient, capable of deciding the life or death of a company with a single sentence. In fact, outsiders call her a female demon. But they overlook one thing: Chu Lan is still a woman.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian softened his tone, "If you encounter something like this again in the future, you can call me."
Chu Lan's eyes instantly reddened, but she quickly turned her back.
“Young Master, I still hope you can think this through. Even the government can’t do anything about that area.”
Xu Tian knew that Chu Lan was emotionally agitated and it wasn't the right time to talk to her, so he changed the subject.
"You've lived in Jiangcheng for so many years, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
Chu Lan looked surprised. "Huh? What do you mean..."
Xu Tian smiled and said, "If you're not busy today, how about we go out for a walk together?"
Want to go shopping?
Chu Lan burst into laughter through her tears, "Don't laugh at me, but in all these years in Jiangcheng, apart from the company and home, or going to the mall to buy some necessities, I really haven't been anywhere else."
"There's no time like the present, I'll take you out to play!" Xu Tian stood up with a smile.
