Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's explanation and seeing the computer science college's building design drawings handed to him, Lin Zicheng murmured in shock.

The members of his team who had just arrived were also extremely shocked.

They had already considered the relevant circumstances, namely that there must have been some behind-the-scenes manipulation involved in this change of land use.

Otherwise, the local government would not have made this change.

But after learning the truth, they were all dumbfounded.

"This is different from what we guessed. After acquiring the land, this kid didn't go into real estate development; instead, he wants to build a professional college..."

Lin Zicheng on the stage could no longer sit still.

He was in a very awkward position at this point.

I had previously guessed that Zhang Dong must have used money to pave the way and bribe relevant leaders, which led to this situation.

His face was filled with shock, and he stood up hastily, feeling somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Seeing Lin Zicheng's shocked expression, Zhang Dong, who was standing to the side, also stood up with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, if you still don't believe me, these are the various materials we've brought in for the upcoming construction of the school. Please take a look."

Looking at the various materials and documents Zhang Dong handed over, and having already seen the school's design drawings, Lin Zicheng's face flushed red.

He blushed with shame after learning that the truth was not as he had guessed.

At the same time, it was also extremely awkward.

As a nationally renowned real estate development company, he had been on the podium many times before, but he felt that he had never been as embarrassed as this time.

He had previously suspected Zhang Dong of using improper means and engaging in underhanded practices to bribe relevant officials.

Moreover, he even went so far as to report the matter to the provincial discipline inspection commission with a clear conscience.

Now, after the investigation, he finally understood the truth, making him feel even more ashamed.

Faced with the various purchase receipts handed over by General Manager Zhang, Lin Zicheng, his face flushed and neck thick with anger, began to stammer.

“Mr. Zhang, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect that your purpose in acquiring the land was for the construction of a school. I thought that you had used improper means to acquire the land and then used it for real estate development, which is why I was dissatisfied.”

"If you were building a school, which led the government to change the land use designation, then I'm speechless, and I feel particularly ashamed..."

“Mr. Lin, this isn’t your fault. I didn’t explain the actual situation at the time. After all, you impatiently interrupted me as soon as I opened my mouth…”

Zhang Dong is right.

He immediately stated his intentions, asking them to abandon the bidding for the land, but before he could say two words, Lin Zicheng interrupted him with a mocking expression.

This meant that he should have understood his purpose in wanting to acquire the land at that time, but it wasn't until this moment, when he heard it from a staff member of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, that he finally understood.

This made him afraid to face Zhang Dong's honest gaze again, and he lowered his head.

Lin Zicheng also felt like a sinner.

Not only did he fail Zhang Dong, but his whistleblowing also led to the provincial discipline inspection commission sending three investigation teams in succession.

He felt he owed them an apology for wasting so much manpower and resources.

"Dear leaders, I was wrong. I didn't know Zhang Dong's specific purpose for acquiring the land. I thought he was like me, doing real estate development for profit. Out of resentment, I reported this matter."

"But after the investigation, the truth turned out to be like this. I was wrong, terribly wrong..."

Upon seeing this nationally renowned real estate developer apologize in public, both the relevant leaders of the municipal government and the members of the provincial discipline inspection commission's inspection team stood up.

The city government's top leader smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, there are some issues you are not yet aware of."

"This change in land use was the result of a collective discussion among all members of our leadership team after learning about Zhang Dong's purpose in acquiring the land."

"Furthermore, we have already reported this matter to the relevant higher authorities, which is why you misunderstood..."

"Oh dear leaders, Mr. Zhang Dong, I shouldn't have done this without knowing the truth. I apologize to you all now..."

Seeing this arrogant real estate developer apologize to his boss, Zhang Dong's team members couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions and started discussing it amongst themselves.

“When the boss said he wanted to meet with local officials, I was ready to pour cold water on it. I even thought it was ridiculous and crazy.”

"But now it seems that it wasn't that the boss was crazy, but that I was short-sighted and couldn't see the boss's vision and breadth of mind."

"Yes, yes, in that situation, none of us had any hope left, except for our boss who was full of confidence."

"Do you remember what he once said?"

Before Vice President Li could finish speaking, someone next to him urged him on.

"The boss has said many things, but which one of them really shocked you like that?"

Vice President Li said with a serious expression: "The boss once said that even if there is only a 1% chance, he will make 100% effort."

“I once thought there was no hope, but the boss eventually made it happen.”

"This was a huge shock to me, and I should be deeply inspired by my boss's actions and words."

"I think the boss is right. We shouldn't give up hope until the very last moment; we should put in 100% effort..."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, while Lin Zicheng on the stage was red-faced and his neck was red.

After apologizing to the relevant leaders of the municipal party committee and government, as well as the staff of the provincial discipline inspection and supervision team, his gaze finally fell on Zhang Dong.

“Mr. Zhang, what shocked me the most was that I had previously suspected you of bribing government officials, but now I realize that I was just being cynical.”

"What's even more admirable is that your school is semi-public, which makes me admire you even more."

"Moreover, knowing that your original intention in building the school was to improve the overall quality of all staff and ultimately raise the overall technological level of society, thus fulfilling the social responsibility and conscience of an entrepreneur, makes me truly ashamed..."

Seeing that the once arrogant and domineering Boss Lin had finally lowered his proud head and apologized to him, Zhang Dong quickly grabbed him.

"Mr. Lin, there's no need for that. It's good that you understand now."

Feeling Zhang Dong's magnanimity and sincerity, Lin Zicheng felt even more ashamed.

"Mr. Zhang Dong, please accept my sincere apology. It is said that there is no harm without comparison. Compared with you, I feel that I am far too lacking in my sense of social responsibility."
