Bai Wanru coughed lightly to break the deadlock and calmly said, "Leader Guo, our company can't keep up with the pace of the six major families, but we're doing our best. We can only offer 150 million."

At this moment, Leader Guo was already grinning from ear to ear.

Originally, the plan was only to let the six major families contract the road construction project, but now Mu Qingfeng has taken the initiative to say that he also wants to improve the commercial construction of the old city.

It's absolutely perfect.

The original plan was to start a separate commercial construction project and re-tender it, which was a major problem.

Mu Qingfeng has now solved two problems for the municipal departments at once.

Leader Guo wished he could treat the six major families like living bodhisattvas.

Hearing Bai Wanru's words, he waved his hand dismissively, "It's alright, it's alright, it's good that you meant it."

Mosquito legs are meat too.

Even Guo, the leader, felt that he had become arrogant. Ever since he heard about the 30 billion, he felt that 150 million was no money at all.

Mu Qingfeng asked, "So, Mr. He, three billion, are you going to invest or not?"

He Xiangyu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Mu Qingfeng, as if he wanted to devour him.

Mu Qingfeng clicked his tongue, "Of course, if your He family can't come up with 3 billion, that's fine too. I can give you a second option."

“You can contribute some money to build the bus stops that need to be built near the old city and along the entire Huaihai Road.”

He looked up at Director Guo and asked, "Director Guo, does your plan specify the approximate cost?"

The secretary next to Leader Guo quickly handed over the documents.

"It will probably cost between 15 and 20 million, including the investment in public buses," said Director Guo, adjusting his glasses.

Mu Qingfeng nodded and said, "He Xiangyu, you can also choose to be in charge of the bus station and bus area."

He Xiangyu's eyes lit up when she heard this.

From 3 billion to 20 million, it's a world of difference.

“However, this money cannot be considered your investment; it can only be considered your donation to the municipal government, used for public welfare projects to benefit the people.” Mu Qingfeng said with a smirk.

He doesn't lack those ten or twenty million, so it can't be considered an investment.

He Xiangyu answered almost without hesitation: "I agree!"

Without even thinking, it's obvious which choice to make: donate 20 million to charity or throw in 3 billion to make a splash.

His answer left those who had previously echoed him feeling utterly disheartened.

Isn't this clearly telling everyone that you want to leave this meeting room without paying a cent?

impossible!

We must come up with 20 million.

Shi Yan, who was standing nearby, immediately raised his hand: "Our company can provide three meals a day for the construction workers, which is also a form of public service."

The others nearby hated Shi Yan the fastest, and said everything they could think of.

Several people have suggested donating money directly to charity, with no amount less than ten million.

Of course, these people are not considered investors, but only donors.

But Leader Guo is a shrewd man; he knows these people all too well, and words alone are not enough.

He immediately had his secretary draft the contracts and deliver them to everyone.

After the meeting, Leader Guo chatted with Mu Qingfeng for quite a while.

"Qingfeng, we really owe you a lot this time! If you hadn't spoken up, none of these tightwads would have invested!" Boss Guo patted Mu Qingfeng's arm.

Mu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Leader Guo is too kind. We earn far more money living in Shanghai than this. Now it's time for us to give back to society."

The smile on Guo's face never faded.

The more Mu Qingfeng looked at him, the more he thought this young man was quite good.

People who are good at making money and also know how to give back to society are rare!

He looked Mu Qingfeng up and down and asked, "Qingfeng, do you have a girlfriend yet?"

Mu Qingfeng was a little taken aback by how quickly the topic had changed.

"I just heard from the Shi family that Bai Wanru is your ex-girlfriend. It seems you should be single now." Leader Guo nodded in satisfaction.

Mu Qingfeng smiled awkwardly. At this moment, Su Xueyi walked over and said, "Leader Guo, he already has a fiancée."

Mu Qingfeng gave her a grateful look.

"Oh? Really? I wonder who your fiancée is?"

There was clear shock in his eyes, but not much disappointment.

It's perfectly normal for such an outstanding young man to have a girlfriend.

Mu Qingfeng immediately sensed something was wrong; Su Xueyi had already answered.

"Me." Su Xueyi nodded slightly.

Leader Guo looked at the two of them, his eyes shifting back and forth between them.

He remembered that the eldest daughter of the Su family was the first person to stand up and support Mu Qingfeng.

This was also a crucial factor that forced the He and Shi families to make a decision.

"Great! A talented man and a beautiful woman, not bad, not bad at all." Leader Guo clasped his hands together.

Mu Qingfeng forced a smile. If he denied it now, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Guo's secretary came over and said a few words to him, to which Guo nodded.

"Alright, I have other things to take care of, so I won't bother you any longer."

The smile on Mu Qingfeng's face disappeared only after he saw Leader Guo off.

"No, little miss, what are you doing? I already said our engagement is null and void, so why did you just say I was your fiancée?" Mu Qingfeng spread his hands, looking puzzled.

However, Su Xueyi did not show any disappointment or helplessness. Instead, she calmly said, "Don't be ungrateful. I was just helping you out of a tight spot, and you're still unhappy about it."

"Alright, alright, thank you. You're a girl, you still have to consider your reputation. Don't say things like that in public, or how will you get married?" Mu Qingfeng muttered to herself.

"If I can't get married, I'll marry you and stick with you, how about that?" Su Xueyi looked at Mu Qingfeng with a smile.

"You've really changed." Mu Qingfeng clicked his tongue a few times and shook his head.

Su Xueyi looked somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

"How have I changed? I've always been the same. It's you who's changed. You don't like me anymore." Su Xueyi gave a bitter smile.

Mu Qingfeng didn't know how he had suddenly offended Su Xueyi, so he quickly made a shushing gesture.

After Bai Wanru finished signing the contract, she came out and saw Mu Qingfeng making a playful and funny face in front of Su Xueyi. Her smile froze for a moment.

"Oh, Chairman Mu and President Su are flirting here? This is not a good place," Bai Wanru said sarcastically.

Mu Qingfeng felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard her voice, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.

Su Xueyi was not provoked; instead, she looked directly at Bai Wanru.

"Chairman Bai's behavior is truly perplexing. As a newly established company, why would Platinum Beauty Company suddenly take out 150 million? Is it really for the sake of society, or to support Brother Qingfeng?" Su Xueyi looked at Bai Wanru meaningfully.

Mu Qingfeng looked at Su Xueyi in surprise.

He was internally screaming: "Sister, are you crazy? What does Bai Wanru's investment have to do with me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's her own behavior!" Mu Qingfeng said through gritted teeth in Su Xueyi's ear.
