Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Deliberation_1

"You have luxurious mansions and courtyards, but what about you? Even if you’ve been recognized as an exemplary worker, how much could your salary possibly increase? What do you have?"

Zhang Bin’s face was trembling with anger. He looked up furiously, but before he could speak, Shen Dong scooped up a stack of banknotes and hurled them directly at Zhang Bin.

"I’ll ask you one more time, will you kneel or not!"

"I won’t..."

"Take it away," Shen Dong commanded, hearing the word ’won’t’ with a wave of his hand.

Just as Zhou Wenbin bent down, Zhang Bin collapsed to the ground with a thud, trembling, his lips struggling to form a smile, "I, I’ll kneel."

"Maple, Mr. Shen."

Shen Dong scoffed disdainfully, one hand on his hip, "Where is your noble character now? Tell me, huh, how much money is this really?"

Zhang Bin’s smile was bitter as he knelt on the ground and kept nodding, "I’m beaten. Just tell me, what do you want me to do? Resign? Bring Mr. Hu back?"

"No need. Use your mouth to pick up the money on the floor, one bill at a time, then, take the money and get out," Shen Dong tossed his phone on the table, speaking in a frank tone, tricking Zhang Bin.

"There’s no video, I have the utmost respect for Mr. Hu, and will never again affect other students, although, I truly wish the students could see your despicable face."

"Alright."

He watched Shen Dong leave, then sat in the spot previously occupied by Shen Dong, grabbed a handful of money, and, mimicking Shen Dong’s actions, threw it.

"It feels pretty good, huh." Zhou Wenbin leisurely called out to Zhang Bin with his legs crossed.

As Zhang Bin looked up, Zhou Wenbin smiled and asked, "How did you offend Mr. Shen? Share and let’s have a laugh."

Zhang Bin’s dignity had been completely tossed aside as he knelt on the ground and gave Zhou Wenbin a pained smile, "It’s just some work-related stuff. I didn’t expect Mr. Shen to be so... so righteous, to stand up for the teacher."

Zhou Wenbin waved his hand impatiently, poking through Zhang Bin’s facade while fully aware of the truth, "You don’t think that Mr. Shen has the capability to end you, do you know the boats dredging sand from the Sishui Reservoir?"

With that statement, Zhang Bin shuddered.

Zhang Bin really wanted to ask, does that kid dare to kill me? Unfortunately, he only dared to think it.

Of course, Shen Dong had no intention of killing him. His schemes were clear as day to Tang Yuchan. As soon as he got into the car, Bai Yao asked, "Are you planning to deal with the people behind Zhang Bin?"

"It’s only a matter of time," Shen Dong could almost guess who was behind Zhang Bin.

Looking out the window, he quickly dismissed thoughts of Zhang Bin, contemplating the increasing number of blue hoardings in Hai City, "Time to start breaking ground here in Hai City, at least the model needs to be made. By the way, have we found a graphic artist, a designer yet?"

"You wait to ask, and the dish would already be cold," Tang Yuchan said, driving and unable to let go of the wheel, she gestured with her lips to the back seat, "There’s a planning map in the bag. It looks like you’re going to be the landmark owner of Hai City soon."

Hai City Shopping Paradise and the Food Center primarily aim to attract foot traffic, requiring a significant amount of space.

Tang Yuchan’s planning map, named "Eight Directions Pilgrimage," encircles the Huaxu Building, creating a cultural and commercial street, high-end luxury areas, and controlling mid-to-low-end consumption while taking a bite out of high-end consumption.

"Fantastic," Shen Dong sincerely praised.

He originally wanted to plagiarize the creativity of a famous building from his past life, but after the incident with Zhang Yunsheng, he didn’t want to anymore.

Tang Yuchan’s smile immediately brightened a lot, she gestured with her fingers in the air, prompting Shen Dong to flip the page, "Here’s what the engineer suggested to me.

For a project of such a large scale, if we start in the winter and then endure three months of frozen ground, multiple problems will arise, so a steel structure is recommended."

Steel structure...

Shen Dong swallowed his saliva, visions of banknote sequences flashing in his mind, "Sis, do you think you’re running a bank?"

"Not really." While speaking, Tang Yuchan stopped the car by a piece of blue hoarding, looking at Shen Dong seriously, "Before we go, first tell me how confident you are about the ZD project, and what’s the maximum rate of return you can offer."

Before going? When Shen Dong heard this, he immediately thought that Tang Yuchan was seeking investment.

He was undoubtedly excited.

Reality is cruel, just take Shen Dong for example, his head full of grand ideas, but his former social status only allowed him to meet people as influential as a workshop director.

How much investment could you pull in with a workshop director?

But Tang Yuchan was different.

She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, hundreds of thousands or even millions might come just by her asking.

Shen Dong hesitated for a long time before stating a number that was neither here nor there, "Thirty percent, and if it could be delayed to five years later, forty percent."

Tang Yuchan’s eyes twinkled with wisdom, and after pondering for a while, she suggested, "How about this, our rate of return increases annually, ten percent for six months, fifteen percent for one year, and thirty percent for three years, how does that sound?"

"No problem at all."

"That’s great." Tang Yuchan smiled like a blooming flower, turned to pull out her phone, and dialed an unknown number.

Sure enough, it’s a small world.

Just as Tang Yuchan called out "Uncle Wang", the car window was knocked on, and Wang Wei’s cheerful face appeared.

"Yuchan!"

"Get in the car, where’s your dad?" Tang Yuchan hadn’t noticed anything odd and turned to introduce Wang Wei to Shen Dong, "You’re from the same school, Wang Wei, her father is from the provincial city."

"Yeah, get in." Shen Dong nodded at Wang Wei a bit coldly.

Despite having seen her only twice during a farce, his dislike for Wang Wei’s wealthy girl demeanor was deeply ingrained.

Who was that again?

Shen Dong had a hard time recalling the name of that rich young man; in any case, he didn’t like either of them.

Tang Yuchan, unaware of the situation, glared at Shen Dong.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Wang Wei spoke up, "How do you know Yuchan?"

"Do I need to report to you whom I know?" Shen Dong didn’t even turn his head, replying in a cool tone.

It was then Tang Yuchan caught on and said with a half-smile, "What, you have a history?"

Acting like a petulant child, Shen Dong intentionally mentioned, "That guy who tried to hit Chen Yuyan, I beat him up. She was standing up for what’s-his-name... I can’t quite put it that way, she slapped Wu Fengxia for me."

Speaking of which, he really had some complicated entanglements with Wang Wei.

In Hai City, Zhou Chengyu had also heard that the Wang Family was investing in Hai City and thus was convinced that Hai City was a land of geomantic treasure.

No one knew what Wang Wei was thinking, but upon hearing Shen Dong’s words, her face showed a bit of annoyance, "I was protecting you. Who do you think you are? If Wu Fengxia had made a move on you, even ten of you couldn’t have stopped her!"

"Oh, well, thank you for that." Shen Dong heard this and sneered, his face full of disdain.

Tang Yuchan saw this stand-off like watching a needlepoint against wheat.

She smiled while lightly tapping the window, "Keep an eye on what you say to your dad, don’t let it slip that you’re still practicing taekwondo, or he might scold you."

"Sister!" Wang Wei had just been quarreling with Shen Dong a second ago, but now she cooed the word "sister" almost like a spoiled child.

Shen Dong looked away with a face that seemingly didn’t care to listen, yet he heard everything the two girls said clearly. The two ladies had met at a taekwondo gym, and it seemed that Tang Yuchan had even visited Wang Wei’s home.
