Initially, she wanted to rush over after lunch, but Dongfang Liuyun was still worried. After a simple breakfast, she went to the International Exhibition Center. Qi Lei also went afterwards.

On South River’s end, Qi Lei had just finished negotiating with the client. Yang Sheng wanted to remind him to return to the company, but Qi Lei still came to inspect the project.

At this moment, Qi Lei was leaning against the railing by the South River. Between his slender fingers was a cigarette that he had just taken out. The river was covered in misty rain.

“Master Qi, look over there. In just a few years, there has been a huge change. There’s also the South River Project over there. It’s our company’s. In another two years, it will definitely be prosperous over there. The housing prices here have already risen a lot compared to a few years ago. Fortunately, Vice President Wang had the foresight to buy a piece of land over there. There’s also the land in the east of the city. The Jin family has always been thinking about it.”

Yang Sheng stood behind Qi Lei and looked at him as he spoke with a smile on his face.

Qi Lei lowered his head and turned on his lighter. He lit a cigarette and took a leisurely puff. Qi Lei did not say anything in the midst of the lingering smoke.

“The Jin family has already sent people over to inquire many times. I heard from Vice President Wang Chun that Master Jin has come here before.”

Yang Sheng continued.

Qi Lei’s eyes turned cold when he heard that. Yang Sheng could see a hint of amusement in his eyes.

“Since when was he interested in this area? The Jin family wasn’t in the real estate business before this.”

Qi Lei’s calm voice came through.

“Many businesses aren’t easy to do. Some people with foresight don’t just think about developing their own industries. They want to diversify their industries. I heard that they want to partner with the supermarket.”

“The Jin Family? They did not have that much money. Even Glory World on Mu Yuchen’s end did not dare talk about the supermarket easily. Moreover, that was an old city area. The government would not approve it easily unless they were confident that they could get the government to approve it.”

Qi Lei answered very quickly.

“Yes, this project is very difficult, but once it’s completed, the profits will be very generous. I think they’ve thought of this too. Master Qi, actually, I think this project is pretty good. We can...”

Before Yang Sheng could finish his sentence, Qi Lei had already raised his hand to stop him.

“Yang Sheng, you’ve been by my side for many years. You should know my style of doing things. You can’t bite off more than you can chew. Currently, Tai Yu Corporation has quite a number of industries, and there are quite a few large projects in operation. Although there aren’t any funding problems now, we still need to be cautious. Every project needs a strong fund to support it. It won’t be so easy to calculate the manpower and material resources.”

Qi Lei exhaled and paused for a while before continuing, “Anyway, the land is there, so it’s only a matter of time before we develop it. In these next two years, we’ll first complete the projects on hand one by one, and then we’ll consider new projects later.”

“Yes, Master Qi! I was too impatient and was afraid that someone else would seize the initiative!” Yang Sheng said.

However, Qi Lei smiled.

“In the entire City Z, there probably aren’t many who would dare to take down such a huge project, right? If the government wants to bring in outside resources, just the approval alone will take a long time. Moreover, we have ready-made land now. If they want to move it to another place, the land acquisition will be enough to give them a headache. Don’t worry. Things aren’t that simple. If they’re really interested, we’ll wait until the film and television base in City B is completed. Then, we’ll see if Mu Yuchen is interested.”

“Master Qi, you can definitely take it down with Missus!”

Yang Sheng’s face was filled with excitement.

Qi Lei glanced at him and thought about it before looking at Yang Sheng meaningfully—

“You have other things in mind.”

Then, Yang Sheng smiled.

“Of course. I think that Master Qi and Missus really need a chance to mix together, especially when it comes to the Dongfang Group and our Tai Yu Corporate problem. If Master Qi wants to help Missus take down the Dongfang Group, it won’t be easy.”

As Yang Sheng finished, his expression turned slightly solemn.

“Especially at this time, there’s quite a lot of pressure on Missus’ end.”

“Of course I understand what you’re saying. Don’t worry, they shouldn’t be in the mood to create trouble for the time being. Has the investigation come to a conclusion?” Qi Lei asked.

“It’s already out, but the person hasn’t been found yet. He owes nearly 300 million in gambling debts in our casino, and the interest is rolling in. Now, it’s probably an astronomical figure. However, no one from the Lin family knows about this for the time being. The deadline for repayment is near, and Lin Yonghua is most likely unable to come up with this amount of money. In addition, the Lin Corporation hasn’t been operating properly all these years, and the gap in capital was already quite huge, right now it’s only holding on.”

Yang Sheng quickly reported to Qi Lei.

Hearing this, Qi lei nodded slightly, “Very good. Cut off Lin Yuanyuan’s wings first. When the Lin Corporation is facing bankruptcy, Dongfang Ren’s side will have fewer guards of honor. Let Wang Chun handle it. Find a way of letting Dongfang Yu know that Lin Yonghua has a huge gambling debt with the casino and is hiding. Make them believe that what Lin Yonghua couldn’t resist because he was lured by Dongfang Yu. If you tell Wang Chun what I mean, he’ll understand my intentions. Let him come to my office tomorrow.”

Yang Sheng was stunned when Qi Lei said this. He thought about it seriously for a while before he finally understood what Qi Lei meant. He could not help but laugh, “Master Qi, this is really a good idea. Those people wouldn’t know even if they racked their brains. We’ll be the mastermind. Not many people know about the behind-the-scenes boss of the casino.”

“Don’t take any chances. We have to be more vigilant at this time.”

Qi Lei did not seem relaxed. He looked rather solemn.

“I understand, Master Qi! Oh, right, Vice President Wang Chun sent people over today in the name of protecting the company. He said that Master Qi can feel rest assured.”

“Okay, that’s enough. You go over and help out first. I’ll stay here for a while and go over directly later. I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it on her end.”

“But Master Qi, Missus isn’t letting me appear in public because...”

“I know. If our relationship is exposed, a lot of things would get hard to do. Just do as she says,” replied Qi Lei.

Yang Sheng nodded. “Alright, Master Qi, I understand. I’ll head over first. Do call me later when Master Qi comes over.”

“Oh, right, Master Qi. I wonder if Master Mu and the others will come over?”

“They never had lots of dealings with the Dongfang family. There’s no need to drag him into this.”

Qi Lei calmly replied.
