Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai hung up Niu Chunsheng's call, and before long received a message sent by Niu Chunsheng.

Based on the contact information in the message, he added Liu Yong as a WeChat friend.

They exchanged brief greetings, then he didn't chat further with Liu Yong.

Because Huo Guoqiang called him again.

"Erhai, how's the situation?"

Huo Guoqiang asked.

He had previously asked Wang Erhai to help inquire about Zhang Sheng and Niu Chunsheng's opinions, to see if they would consider using his Huo Guoqiang's building materials for that Shangang Town project.

Huo Guoqiang also said he wasn't afraid of competition; as long as he was given a chance to enter, he could offer the most sincere quote, and would also promise to guarantee quality.

The reason he said this was because he knew very well in his heart that for a project in a small county town like this, he might not even get a chance to enter.

Sure enough, Wang Erhai told him:

"General Manager Huo, very sorry, I just communicated with Uncle Chunsheng, he said he and General Manager Zhang have both already decided to go with Lianqiang Building Materials, so for this project, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to enter."

Huo Guoqiang wasn't surprised to hear this.

He just smiled:

"Alright then, thanks for helping me ask. If there's a chance another day, let's have a drink together."

He could accept this kind of result.

It was just a try-and-see mindset to begin with; if it works it works, if not then forget it.

No loss anyway.

He's just that kind of person — as long as there's a sliver of opportunity, he'll go try.

Just like when they originally partnered to start Liguo Mountain Renovation Company.

Although in the end he, this founder, was squeezed out by Zhang Sheng, he doesn't regret creating that company, after all when he exited it brought him quite substantial returns.

"Okay General Manager Huo, if there's a chance to go to the city later, I'll definitely come find you for a drink."

Wang Erhai replied politely.

They used to start a business together, had different philosophies, created quite a lot of friction.

But now that they've separated, friends can naturally still be made.

If because of those past matters they tore faces and cut off all contact, that would be too lacking in how to conduct oneself and handle affairs.

More friends, more paths.

Huo Guoqiang understands this principle.

Wang Erhai also understands this principle.

So they can both communicate harmoniously, especially business matters — business is business, they won't treat the other as an enemy just because of previous philosophical differences.

The two chatted a while longer, then hung up.

At this time everyone felt that for the development of that Shangang Town real estate project, the building materials side definitely belonged to Lianqiang Building Materials Company.

However, only a day passed, and the situation suddenly took a turn.

Liu Lianqiang suddenly proactively contacted Zhang Sheng and Niu Chunsheng, saying he wouldn't do the building materials supply for that Shangang Town project anymore; as for the reason, he didn't state it clearly, only said he had other projects to do, couldn't get away, so he wasn't doing it.

Anyone with eyes could see Liu Lianqiang was making an excuse.

For this kind of business, once the contract is settled, he hardly needs to personally handle the rest — how could it be that because he's doing another project, he wouldn't come do this one?

Could it be he's afraid of losing money?

Impossible!

He just supplies materials, delivers a batch and settles payment once; with his background so strong, the developer wouldn't dare delay his payment — meaning, regardless of whether the houses sell or not, he fundamentally cannot possibly lose money.

Then what's the reason?

Wang Erhai couldn't figure it out, Niu Chunsheng couldn't figure it out, even Zhang Sheng this old fox couldn't quite figure it out.

This is too abnormal!

When things go abnormal there must be something fishy!

Zhang Sheng immediately smelled the scent of danger.

So that very night he hurriedly pulled Niu Chunsheng and Wang Erhai to Huangsheng Hotel, the three held a secret small meeting.

"Liu Lianqiang suddenly proactively withdrew from our project's building materials supply — what are your views on this?"

Zhang Sheng's expression was heavy.

This project was developed by the three of them together; each of the three holds 30% shares, Shangang Town Government holds 10%.

That is to say, on this project their three interests are bound together — share honor and disgrace.

So Zhang Sheng smelling danger, couldn't possibly run away alone; he had to come discuss countermeasures with Niu Chunsheng and Wang Erhai.

Niu Chunsheng's expression was heavy:

"Could it be this project has some change?"

As he said this, Zhang Sheng very thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea.

As for Wang Erhai, Zhang Sheng poured a cup of alcohol.

Wang Erhai said:

"Shouldn't be. We are the direct developers — if there were any change, it's impossible we wouldn't know?"

Niu Chunsheng said:

"Could it be that something has changed on the Shangang Town Government side?"

Zhang Sheng poured himself a full cup of wine, and toasted Wang Erhai and Niu Chunsheng:

"It really is possible! Aside from a change in the power aspect, I really can't think of a change in any other area that could make Liu Lianqiang abandon a duck that's already reached his mouth."

Wang Erhai frowned instead:

"Impossible. If there really was a change on the Shangang Town side, my Third Brother couldn't possibly not tell me."

Zhang Sheng said:

"Right now no one is clear on the specific situation, but it's almost certain that this big cake of the Shangang Town Real Estate Project is probably poisonous. Whoever tries to get a share of the pie in here will likely get dragged in, and only because of this would it cause Liu Lianqiang to take the initiative to withdraw!"

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly said to Wang Erhai:

"Erhai, hurry up and make a call to Xiao Hua, ask him what the situation is!"

Wang Erhai nodded, then took out his mobile phone and made a WeChat voice call to Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua picked up very quickly.

"Hello, Second Brother, what's up?"

Wang Erhai asked directly:

"Third Brother, recently in the Shangang Town leadership team, is there going to be some huge change?"

Wang Xiaohua listened, completely baffled:

"No, inside the Town Government, everything is operating as normal, there's no change."

Wang Erhai said:

"Impossible. Then help me go inquire about it?"

Wang Xiaohua was even more baffled:

"Second Brother, what exactly happened? You clarify things a bit!"

Wang Erhai then told him truthfully:

"Recently Shangang Town is developing a Real Estate Project, right? This project has already entered the Approval Process. Me and Zhang Sheng, plus Uncle Chunsheng, the three of us are developing it together! Originally on the building materials side, we had agreed to get supplies from Liu Lianqiang's side, but Liu Lianqiang suddenly went back on his word, saying he won't supply us anymore. This is really too abnormal — a duck that's reached his mouth and he won't eat it — so I came to ask you, what exactly is going on over on the Shangang Town side?"

"Liu Lianqiang?" Wang Xiaohua was stunned. "What background does this person have?"

Wang Erhai said: "This person's background is very strong. His fourth uncle is the top leader of the County Finance Bureau."

Wang Xiaohua heard this, and his heart gave a jolt.

In an instant the clouds parted and he saw the essence of the matter.

He thought in his heart:

"Could it be that Liu Xinwen wants to use the Shangang Town Real Estate Project to make a move?"

Right now the struggle between Xiao Xueqing and Liu Xinwen has already reached a white-hot intensity.

Has Liu Xinwen seen that he, Wang Xiaohua, has already aligned with Xiao Xueqing's side?

Preparing to use the Shangang Town Real Estate Project to stir up trouble?

Aside from this situation, Wang Xiaohua really couldn't think of any other reason why Liu Xinwen's nephew would suddenly take the initiative to give up a duck that's already reached his mouth!
