Chapter 256: Chapter 256

In the sports car parked by the roadside sat a man in his early thirties.

The man was as thin as a bamboo pole with a face that showed signs of excessive indulgence.

With a cigarette in his right hand and his left hand on the thigh of the woman in the passenger seat, who was dressed flamboyantly.

His dark-circled eyes indifferently swept across the entrance of the bidding center, when suddenly he saw a group of people walking with firm steps, led by a tall and graceful woman.

Her ash-colored wide-leg trousers fluttered with her strides; her hair was styled in a mature bun, her beauty elegant and demure.

Her face, akin to a big star’s, was icy cold, but it made the man’s heart skip a beat. He momentarily forgot to smoke and stared at her, blinking.

"Who is that beauty?" The man flicked away his cigarette and snapped his fingers, "Go, bring her over to me."

"Yes, Young Master Tian."

Song Guanchao held Shuai Gun in his hand, scanning the hundreds of gangsters at the door repeatedly as he walked.

There were twenty people on his side and over a hundred on the opponent’s.

But fighting is not about the number, it’s about the momentum.

If the momentum is there, it wouldn’t matter if there were many more times the number, they would all scatter.

Thus, the advantage was on his side!

Suddenly, two muscular men approached diagonally and blocked their way.

The bald man on the left pointed at Liu Lanzi, "Our Young Master Tian wants you to come over."

Liu Lanzi frowned, "I don’t know your Young Master Tian."

The bald man said, "You’ll know once you go."

Song Guanchao turned his head, smiled, and asked, "Is that your Young Master Tian in the sports car over there?"

"Shit, who gave you the right to speak?" The bald man cursed.

Song Guanchao wasn’t offended and pointed to his mask, saying, "Buddy, keep your distance from me, I have a contagious disease."

The bald man paused, a flicker of panic crossing his face, and hastily stepped back half a step.

The other man also quickly backed away.

Among this group, Song Guanchao was the only one wearing a mask, and they really dared not disbelieve his words.

Liu Lanzi couldn’t help but show a dumbfounded expression.

This Secretary Song truly had a peculiar interest; he was still in the mood to joke at such a time.

"Hey, I’m talking to you. Young Master Tian wants you to come over, hurry up," urged the bald man.

Liu Lanzi was about to refuse when Song Guanchao said, "Chairman Liu, since Young Master Tian has invited, let’s go and see."

Liu Lanzi looked at him and nodded.

The two of them followed the bald man to the car and saw what Young Master Tian looked like.

Young Master Tian was leering at Liu Lanzi.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Young Master Tian unabashedly continued touching the passenger woman’s thigh while he complimented, but his tone made Liu Lanzi very uncomfortable.

Liu Lanzi didn’t hide her disgust and asked with a frown, "Young Master Tian, did you need something from me?"

Young Master Tian seemed undisturbed by her apparent distaste and smiled, "Beauty, are you here to participate in the land auction?"

"Which plot are you interested in? Tell me, and I’ll handle it for you."

Liu Lanzi raised her eyebrows, "Can Young Master Tian decide the outcome of the land auction?"

The bald man scoffed, "Our Young Master Tian is the emperor of Dujiang County, there’s nothing he can’t solve!"

"Keep it down." Young Master Tian spat out a cigarette and threw a business card over, "Beauty, get to know me, President Lu Xiaotian of Jintai Real Estate."

Liu Lanzi glanced at the card, "Lingjiang City New City Company, Liu Lanzi."

"Liu Lanzi, nice name. You’re beautiful and so is your name!"

Young Master Tian’s bloodshot eyes stared at her prominent chest, reaching out his hand, "Chairman Liu, let’s shake hands since we’re meeting for the first time."

"No need for a handshake." Liu Lanzi said, "If there’s nothing else, Young Master Tian, I’ll be going."

"Heh heh, what’s the rush? Without my order, you can’t even enter, and even if you do, you won’t be able to get the land. Chat with me, let me see which plot you want, and afterwards, I’ll just give a call and you won’t have to go through any procedures—it’ll be directly yours."

The gangsters at the door had indeed been arranged by him.

Liu Lanzi sneered coldly, not wanting to waste another word, and turned to leave.

Watching Liu Lanzi’s swaying pert buttocks, Young Master Tian licked his lips and got out of the car to follow.

Liu Lanzi and Song Guanchao then headed straight for the crowd blocking the entrance.

The group of security guards was extremely tense, with batons already drawn, ready to act at any moment.

However, just then, Young Master Tian, who had followed, suddenly said, "Open the gates wide, let Chairman Liu in."

As the words ended,

The crowd parted noisily, making way.

Lu Xiaotian, with a cigarette in his mouth, said lewdly, "Chairman Liu, I told you, this bidding meeting is just a formality. Even if you manage to get in, you won’t be able to get the land."

"If you want to get the land, you can only cooperate with me."

Liu Lanzi didn’t respond and continued walking toward the gate.

The group safely entered the bidding center’s main gate, and Shi Yong and his security team, along with Ning Lin, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, no accidents had happened.

Lu Xiaotian squinted at Liu Lanzi’s retreating figure and smacked his lips: "I like feisty women like her, they’re more thrilling to play with!"

He tossed his cigarette and followed her inside.

Inside the venue, Liu Lanzi met Director Xu Bin.

"Director Xu, the public security in your county has serious issues."

Liu Lanzi handed over her bid, not mincing her words: "We came here to invest in and build up Dujiang County, and Dujiang County should provide us with a good investment environment."

Director Xu sighed deeply and said, "Chairman Liu, please calm down, I have already reported the situation to the higher-ups."

"Here’s what we’ll do—leave your bid for now, and when other companies submit theirs, we’ll set a time for the bidding."

"Can Director Xu give me a specific time? There’s a lot going on at the company, and I can’t afford to wait here too long."

"I’ll have to discuss it with the leaders. Chairman Liu, don’t be impatient, good things take time, right?"

Liu Lanzi felt her heart sink; it was clear that Director Xu wasn’t about to get things done, his words were nothing but procrastination.

Director Xu said a few more pleasantries and then left with the bid document.

As he reached the door, Lu Xiaotian followed him: "Brother Xu, thanks for your hard work. I’ve reserved a table for lunch; let’s grab a bite together."

Director Xu walked on without stopping, Lu Xiaotian talking beside him.

Seeing Lu Xiaotian chatting so familiarly with Director Xu, Liu Lanzi completely gave up hope.

She had thought that following the proper procedure would be effective.

But now it seemed useless.

Lu Xiaotian kept up with Director Xu until they left the venue, and Director Xu, extremely annoyed, said, "President Lu, you’ve gone too far with this bidding. County Magistrate Hou already knows about this, and he was very angry during the meeting!"

Lu Xiaotian responded awkwardly, "Brother Xu, I was just worried about the qualifications of the developers from outside. The land in Dujiang County should be developed by local developers. My Jintai Company is quite good, I’ll talk to Uncle Hou and have him give all the development projects to me, I promise to build beautiful houses."

Director Xu suppressed his irritation and said, "Don’t use County Magistrate Hou to pressure me. If you want the land, bid for it or ask County Magistrate Hou directly."

With that, he got into his car and drove away.

Once the car was gone, Lu Xiaotian spat a thick gob of phlegm: "What a fucking joke, a mere director thinking too highly of himself."

He walked around outside for a bit before returning to the venue, pretending as if he had just had a deep conversation with Director Xu, coming up to Liu Lanzi.

"Chairman Liu, what do you think? Do you want the land?" he asked, leaning back in his chair as if he owned the place.

Liu Lanzi had just discussed with Song Guanchao; she planned to dive into the situation to probe who exactly was behind Lu Xiaotian.

So she smiled brightly and said, "Can Young Master Tian really help me secure the land?"

That smile left Lu Xiaotian stunned.

After a two-second pause, he showed a lascivious grin and said, "Absolutely! Definitely possible!"
