Chapter 453: Sun Changqing's brother-in-law

After Yexin went to Xinan City, Chen Yang never went to Worry-free Residence again.

But today, Sun Changqing's brother-in-law Zhu Junhao nevertheless arranged to meet him here.

What surprised Chen Yang even more was that, according to Yexin, this Zhu Junhao was actually one of the behind-the-scenes shareholders of Worry-free Residence.

This explains why Zhou Zhixin, despite mobilizing Xingcheng police forces, couldn't topple Worry-free Residence. They could casually pull out a shareholder, and behind them stood a member of the Dongjiangsheng Provincial Standing Committee. If they all exerted force, the whole Xingcheng would have to tremble.

Thinking this over, Chen Yang felt Zhou Zhixin was also a recklessly bold character.

Zhu Junhao is in his mid-forties, about 1.7 meters tall, and quite overweight. When he saw Chen Yang, his expression was extremely arrogant, and his tone of voice was somewhat hostile.

"Chen Yang, you little brat are pretty awesome! My brother-in-law got you a hundred-billion-yuan big project, and just gave me a little soup and water, yet you're not satisfied? Believe it or not, I can ruin you in a minute."

Chen Yang wasn't afraid of Zhu Junhao's threats. Because Sun Changqing had specifically emphasized that Dongjiang New City must cooperate with a constructor possessing good qualifications and solid strength, whereas Zhu Junhao Real Estate fundamentally lacked qualifications, purely using Zhu Junhao riding the east wind of Dongjiangsheng's real estate development to make money.

"Director Zhu, if you can get Mayor Sun to nod, I can also entrust the Dongjiang New City project to you to undertake."

"Yo, are you trying to threaten me with my brother-in-law?" Zhu Junhao narrowed his eyes slightly and said disdainfully, "Even if my brother-in-law is powerful outside, at home he still has to listen to my sister. You little brat trying to rely on him as a backer—you've got the wrong door."

Chen Yang said unhurriedly: "Director Zhu, has Mayor Sun ever told you that this project is not only highly valued by the Xingcheng Municipal Committee, but even the provincial bigwigs are keeping an eye on it?"

"If I give this project to you, when the provincial bigwigs come to attend the groundbreaking ceremony and ribbon-cutting, they will see that the constructor breaking ground is a company with absolutely no qualifications, and moreover that constructor is Mayor Sun's brother-in-law. Then, how will they view this?"

Zhu Junhao's face slightly changed upon hearing this. If such a scene really happened, Sun Changqing's official career would certainly be greatly affected. "You little brat, are you trying to cheat me? A tiny real estate project—how could it possibly alarm the provincial bigwigs to show up in person?"

Chen Yang calmly said to him: "You can now call Mayor Sun. If I'm wrong, the entire Dongjiang New City project can be yours to undertake."

Zhu Junhao really didn't believe it, and directly dialed Sun Changqing's phone.

"Brother-in-law, for the Dongjiang New City groundbreaking ceremony, do the provincial leaders also need to attend?"

"Zhu Junhao, if you dare to scheme against Dongjiang New City, I'll outright destroy you!"

"Brother-in-law, I'm just asking, no other meaning."

"Best if there's no meaning!"

Zhu Junhao hung up the phone trembling with fear, then began muttering curses to himself.

"Zheng Weimin, you son of a bitch, actually dug a pit for me."

"Just wait! The day I get my hands on you, I'll definitely skin you alive, you son of a bitch."

……

Chen Yang didn't know Zheng Weimin, but anyone who could mix in the same circle as Zhu Junhao was surely someone he couldn't afford to offend. So he also couldn't be bothered to speak, silently watching Zhu Junhao rant at the air.

After Zhu Junhao finished cursing for a while, his anger had mostly subsided. He turned his gaze back to Chen Yang: "Chen Yang, the Dongjiang New City project is so big—can't you give a brother some meat? Don't forget, this project was secured for you by my brother-in-law. You must repay kindness with gratitude!"

Hearing this, Chen Yang felt like laughing a little. It's true that the Dongjiang New City project was secured by Sun Changqing, but he himself is also a direct beneficiary of the project. As long as the project succeeds and drives Xingcheng's economic development, Sun Changqing's political achievements will gain a glorious entry.

Therefore, from an interest perspective, Chen Yang and Sun Changqing each take what they need; there is no question of anyone owing anyone.

Chen Yang recalled that in his previous life, the Dongjiang One Bridge Old City Renovation Project took a full eight years to complete. At that time, the mayor of Xingcheng was no longer Sun Changqing.

Of course, Chen Yang also didn't want to sour relations with Zhu Junhao too much. After all, he is not only Sun Changqing's brother-in-law but also a shareholder of Worry-free Residence. Having one more friend is always better than having one more powerful enemy.

"Director Zhu, if you want to make some money in the Dongjiang New City project, you don't actually have to be the project's constructor. You could also do other business, such as building materials."

Zhu Junhao frowned slightly and said: "Building materials can indeed make big money, but I have no direct procurement channels. If I have to get resources from those guys, passing them through multiple hands leaves little profit."

Chen Yang reminded him: "Isn't Zhixin Group just in the building materials business? Their boss is still locked up inside. If we can figure out how to get hold of that company, wouldn't we have the resources?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Junhao immediately slapped his thigh and burst out laughing: "Haha, I never thought of that!"

"Zhou Zhixin, you idiot, never expected he could still do a good deed before dying."

"Will Zhou Zhixin be sentenced to death?" Chen Yang felt a bit surprised, recalling that in his previous life Zhou Zhixin had only been sentenced to twenty years. He never imagined that now even his life couldn't be saved.

Zhu Junhao snorted coldly: "Anyone who dares to scheme against Worry-free Residence—just having his life spared is already a lenient outcome for him."

Having said that, he again said to Chen Yang: "As long as you little brat can help me make money, I guarantee you'll live better than Zhou Zhixin."

Seeing him lump himself together with Zhou Zhixin, Chen Yang felt extremely displeased.

"Director Zhu, if you keep cursing me, I'll take this business to someone else. Worry-free Residence isn't your sole shareholder. I just need to say the word, and plenty of people will come to cooperate with me."

Zhu Junhao stared for a moment, then immediately became nervous. The total investment in Dongjiang New City reaches as high as 150 billion yuan; those guys, upon hearing the news, have eyes glowing green. They haven't taken action yet, likely because they haven't found a breakthrough. If things go badly, by now many people are secretly looking for Yexin to act as an intermediary.

Thinking this through, Zhu Junhao immediately wiped the arrogance from his face, smiled, and apologized to Chen Yang: "Older brother, don't be angry; I just misspoke. How could that bastard Zhou Zhixin ever compare to you?"

Chen Yang didn't want to waste more words with him, and said directly: "Director Zhu, you'd better first take care of Zhixin Group! But I also need to remind you: if the building materials business is entrusted to you, quality must be guaranteed! If the project runs into trouble, the loss won't be just mine—Mayor Sun will also be implicated."

Zhu Junhao patted his chest and said: "Chen Yang, rest assured. Although I love money, I won't earn ill-gotten gains."

Chen Yang didn't believe Zhu Junhao's words. He was merely giving him a preventive shot in advance. If there were any problems with the materials later, he would also have grounds to refuse acceptance.
