Although Gu Yi was a foreigner, the strength and ability of a mercenary were not to be underestimated.
Very soon, he reported his investigation to Gu Qingchen.
The renovation industry of City Y was taken over by a man named Bao Zhiyong. Interestingly, this Bao Zhiyong also had some connections with the Luo family.
Bao Zhiyong banned Xiang Yang and the others because of the Luo family.
Luo Yingming of the Luo family and Bao Zhiyong were good friends. Luo Yingming was also one of Luo Qingyan’s older brothers, but he was only her cousin. Because Luo Yingming knew some insider information, he planned to buy some lands in the Yuanxi Development Zone. He did not expect most of the land there had been sold.
After several rounds of investigation, he finally discovered that the people who bought Yuanxi land were Wen Qing and Little Bean.
Little Bean had been transferred over to prepare for the building with Xiang Yang. Their actions were discovered by Luo Yingming, who had been paying attention to them. He then contacted Bao Zhiyong to delay Gu Qingchen’s building construction.
Luo Yingming was not a fool. He could see that once Gu Qingchen’s building was finished, it would be difficult to seize the land at the Yuanxi Development Zone.
However, Luo Yingming only discovered Xiang Yang and Little Bean. He did not know that Xiang Yang and the others were working for her.
It could be considered a coincidence. Gu Qingchen and the Luo family intervened again.
After listening to Gu Yi’s report, Gu Qingchen could guess the whole story.
Luo Yingming was Luo Qingyan’s cousin, and Luo Qiaolian was Luo Yingming’s aunt.
The Luo family had always been in politics, so Luo Yingming had heard some insider news. He knew that there might be some policies to be announced in Yuanxi Development Zone, so he wanted to seize the land before it happened.
It was a great opportunity. In the Luo family, he was in business, especially in real estate. He had always been in the real estate business.
Some of his businesses relied on the small and accurate news behind the scenes, which allowed him to have a small achievement and status in the business world.
However, these were not enough for him. He wanted more!
The previous ones were all trivial. This time, when Luo Yingming learned about the plans of the Yuanxi Development Zone, he felt that his time was coming.
Just as he was happily preparing to take over the land on the Yuanxi, he realized that someone had already taken it. How could he accept this?
Luo Yingming was preparing to use the land on the Yuanxi to become famous in one fell swoop and gain a foothold in the real estate industry.
In the afternoon, Little Bean and Xiang Yang came back and brought three renovation teams. It was something that Gu Qingchen had not expected.
Later, Gu Qingchen found out that the renovation industry in the surrounding cities was not doing too well this year. The renovation teams were willing to come when they knew City Y had such a good job with high pay.
So, Xiang Yang invited three pairs of people. Since the building was so big, the more people there were to renovate, the faster it would be.
Gu Qingchen looked at these people. They were ordinary people who worked hard and relied on their skills to earn money. She was relieved.
After a brief explanation, she got them to start working. After that, she told Little Bean and Xiang Yang about the Luo family.
“What? Does that mean that Luo Yingming found out about me? It’s all my fault. I was too careless!” Xiang Yang blamed himself. If it weren’t for their carelessness, there wouldn’t be so much trouble.
Gu Qingchen patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder. “It’s not your fault. The Luo family was resourceful. They’ll discover you sooner or later.”
After all, Xiang Yang and Little Bean had not gone through professional training. They could not be like those mercenaries who could not be found.
Xiang Yang nodded. He was not a person who would discourage himself. Since he was discovered, there was nothing he could do. He could only continue to do what he was about to do.
“If Luo Yingming already knows about our building, then he will know we have found other renovation teams from the neighboring city. He will definitely come and disturb us again. It seems that we have to take precautions in advance.”
Little Bean quickly reacted. If he had been robbed of such an important piece of land, he would have thought of a way to get it back.
“It’s necessary to be on guard, but it’s not a bad thing to be able to beat them at their own game.” Gu Qingchen narrowed her eyes.
Xiang Yang and Little Bean shivered. They felt that the current Gu Qingchen was a little scary.
Both of them had seen how powerful Gu Qingchen was. So, when they saw the expression on Gu Qingchen’s face, they knew Luo Yingming was going to be in trouble.
After that, Gu Qingchen gave some instructions and went to the Yuanxi Development Zone. However, she arrived late.
Rong Yu came to pick her up just in time, so he sent her directly to the Yuanxi Development Zone.
“Are you interested in the Yuanxi Development Zone?” Rong Yu seemed to know a lot about the Yuanxi Development Zone.
“Yes, I am. Why? Are you interested in it too?”
Gu Qingchen looked at Rong Yu with a smile, but she was only joking. If Rong Yu wanted the land in the Yuanxi Development Zone, he would have done it long ago. There was no need for her to do anything.
“Also? Haha, as expected, Luo Yingming got some gossip.”
Rong Yu was Rong Yu. With just a simple sentence, he could grasp the key point.
“You know Luo Yingming is interested in the Yuanxi Development Zone?”
Rong Yu shrugged and hugged Gu Qingchen, “Luo Yingming relied on that little bit of gossip to start a real estate business. The Yuanxi Development Zone will be rectified sooner or later. Now that there is some news, he naturally has to take over the land in advance. It was his usual practice. Luo Yingming relied on the news from his family. Otherwise, he would not have gotten to where he is today. The competition in the business world is fierce. With his half-baked abilities, he would have been swallowed up long ago without the Luo family supporting him.”
After hearing Rong Yu’s evaluation of Luo Yingming, Gu Qingchen felt relieved.
If Luo Yingming was just a paper tiger who could only rely on his family, she had no reason to be afraid of him.
“You know the people of the Luo family like the back of your hand.”
Rong Yu shook his head and looked at Gu Qingchen with his dark eyes, saying, “It should be said that I know many people like the back of my hand.”
Gu Qingchen looked at Rong Yu. Regarding this point, she believed in Rong Yu. Rong Yu had this ability.
“Then, what do you think he would do if the thing he likes is snatched away by someone else?” Gu Qingchen tilted her head slightly.
“Other competitors had competed with him before, but they all failed in the end. There was only one reason. Luo Yingming had a powerful backer, the Luo family. The Luo family does not have much influence in the business world. However, they always get in the others’ way to make a profit.”
Rong Yu did not say it directly. Instead, he gave Gu Qingchen an example.
Luo Yingming might not be capable enough, but it was not simple to enter the business world. He had to deal with the government on many matters, and the Luo family’s connections were all within the government.
