Chapter 628: Meeting again

The capital after the millennium,

The speed of development was changing with each passing day, exceeding everyone's imagination.

Standing in a building that cost over two billion, Zhang Cheng overlooked the city, a smile appearing in his eyes as he said, "This is what you call Far East speed!"

Ten days to finalize the design, construction team on-site within half a month, salary funds arrived within a month, construction of the 52-story building completed within eighteen months.

"Chairman Zhang, Chairman Xu is waiting for you outside?"

Just as Zhang Cheng was speaking, a crisp voice came from outside.

Tilting his head, Zhang Cheng looked at Yang Zixi, who was wearing professional attire, and said, "Why are you so formal today?"

"Fang Hui and the others are coming back! It's better to be a little careful!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Yang Zixi revealed a smile.

Looking at Yang Zixi's appearance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease, "You think you're hiding it well?"

"Oh my, appearances still need to be kept up!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Yang Zixi couldn't help but walk forward, helping him straighten his collar and said, "By the way, are you going to attend the class reunion?"

"Why attend? What a boring thing. It's either a group of people showing off their wealth or a group of people rekindling old flames; how uninteresting! But if it's to watch the fun, I can go. After all, the next day, you're sure to meet acquaintances at the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "Alright, let's go to the airport!"

"Aren't you going to see Chairman Xu?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Yang Zixi felt surprised.

"I'll chat with her on the way; she hasn't seen Fang Hui for a long time either!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng was just about to go out when he saw Xu Banxia push the door open and enter.

Gazing at Xu Banxia, Yang Zixi immediately smiled and said, "Chairman Xu!"

"No, do you have any manners? Knock! What if I'm working?"

Looking at Xu Banxia with annoyance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.

"Don't talk about that. I'm just asking you, why didn't you approve my proposal to acquire the steel mill!"

Walking to Zhang Cheng, Xu Banxia's eyes were filled with a serious expression.

And hearing Xu Banxia's words, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "A steel mill isn't something you can acquire just because you want to. It involves many complex issues; you don't understand!"

"I don't understand, but do you? I know much more about steel than you do. Who was it back then that bought the Katyushas from the north, and who personally finalized the acquisition of the fighter jets..."

Gazing at Zhang Cheng, Xu Banxia couldn't help but become serious.

"I know it was you, but don't forget, your qualifications aren't enough to run a steel mill; this is very dangerous!"

Gazing at Xu Banxia, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

"I'm not enough, but there are others, right? If we unite together, wouldn't that work?"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Xu Banxia couldn't help but become serious.

And hearing Xu Banxia's words, Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "What do you think is the most important thing about acquiring a steel mill?"

"Management, after all, it's already a company!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Xu Banxia felt confused.

"Wrong. A steel mill is a strategic resource. When you treat it as a company, that's a big mistake. Listen to me, don't touch the steel mill; any other industry is fine, this one is too dangerous!"

Explaining to Xu Banxia, Zhang Cheng naturally knew how deeply she would sink once she stepped into the steel mill.

Because the things involved here were too complex, and Zhang Cheng didn't want to flip the table; after all, if it got too big, everyone would look bad!

Are Wu Jianshe and the others good people? To be precise, they can't even be considered bad people, because they have no brains!

After all, something like a steel mill belongs to state control. If they dare to embezzle state assets, isn't that looking for death?

If you were to say this was on the other side of the ocean, Zhang Cheng could give you a thumbs up; after all, not only did you dodge the IRS investigation, but you even showed off in front of them!

But the problem is, where is this? It's the Far East, you little brother really has horns on your head, pretending to be a city Dragon King!

Things Zhang Cheng wouldn't even dare to think about, you, Wu Jianshe, actually dare to do; you have a lot of guts!

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Xu Banxia said confusedly, "You say that, but you can't make me accept it!"

"You can guarantee you're fine, but can you guarantee Wu Jianshe and the others? You must know, when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. The people above won't care what you think; they will only look at what you do. If you're wrong, you must admit it; if you're beaten, you must stand straight! Do you understand!"

Looking at Xu Banxia seriously, Zhang Cheng became solemn, then walked outside and said, "The group won't fund you, so don't think about it, give up this idea!" Looking at Zhang Cheng's back, Xu Banxia was silent for a long time.

Because she was gradually understanding what Zhang Cheng meant; it seemed he really doubted the character of Wu Jianshe and the others.

Driving to the airport, Zhang Cheng saw a child suddenly rush out while crossing the road.

Just as Zhang Cheng slammed on the brakes, he saw a man suddenly rush out and pull him back hard.

Getting out of the car, Zhang Cheng looked at the person who had been knocked over and immediately revealed a look of astonishment, "Shi Xiaomeng!"

"Zhang Cheng?"

Turning his head to look at Zhang Cheng, Shi Xiaomeng was also full of astonishment.

"Long time no see, what are you doing now?"

Patting Shi Xiaomeng on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But just at this moment, Shi Xiaomeng grinned and said, "Ouch, my hand!"

"Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot I hit you just now. Are you okay? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup!"

Looking at Shi Xiaomeng, Zhang Cheng backhanded the child beside him and said, "You little brat, I almost forgot about you. Who told you to cross the road? Didn't your teacher teach you to look left and then right?"

"Wuwuwu!"

【Content omitted for brevity.】

Being slapped, the child immediately cried.

"Hey, why are you hitting the child?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's actions, Shi Xiaomeng couldn't help but speak up.

Because it had been so many years, and Zhang Cheng's temper of not being used to anyone hadn't changed at all!

"If I don't hit him, he'll do the same next time. This time, fortunately, I was driving slowly, and you were there. But what about next time? This kid is waiting for death!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng warned the child, "Thank the uncle, otherwise just wait for your parents to cry!"

"Wuwuwu, thank you, uncle!"

Looking at Shi Xiaomeng while crying, the child also hurriedly spoke up.

"Uncle is fine, uncle is fine!"

Looking at the child, Shi Xiaomeng also hurriedly explained.

And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng took candy out of his pocket and said, "Get lost!"

"Oh!"

Holding the candy, the child turned around and walked away covering his face, but after this slap, he would definitely remember to look left and then right when crossing the road.

As for why Zhang Cheng warned him like this, it was because he was the one who was hit flying in Florida back then!

People teaching people, can't teach; things teaching people, once and you learn!

Zhang Cheng: I also like to hit people with big trucks now, guaranteed death!

Shi Xiaomeng: Is that the point?

"Go, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Pulling Shi Xiaomeng, Zhang Cheng intended to drag him along.

But looking at Zhang Cheng, Shi Xiaomeng said, "It's okay, I still have things to do? I haven't submitted my design drawings yet!"

Refusing Zhang Cheng's idea, Shi Xiaomeng hurriedly explained.

"That's fine, if there are any problems, call me. This is my business card. As classmates, we didn't even leave phone numbers; that's really impolite!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng took out a stack of money for Shi Xiaomeng, along with his business card.

And just after Zhang Cheng drove away, Shi Xiaomeng remembered that he still had to rush back to the company!

After leaving Shi Xiaomeng, Zhang Cheng suddenly stopped the car, immediately froze in place and said, "Wait, why do I feel like this scene is a bit familiar?"

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng almost slapped himself and said, "I'm driving? How can I be distracted!"
