Lisa’s dad sent an assistant called Li Duzhi. His purpose was to assist Wang Hongwei in contracting the mountain of the Guan’s Village. In fact, he also came to watch Wang Hongwei in case he made mistakes, and inspect the north mountain that the company was interested in.

Wang Hongwei knew from his son's phone call that Li Duzhi was not an ordinary employee in Lisa's family’s company, so he took great care when receiving him. After the two came down from the mountain, his pants and shoes accidentally became dirty. Because of his lack of experience, Wang Hongwei didn't know that he should wear boots when he went up the mountain, and hurriedly invited the assistant to his own house.

He found a pair of boots for Li Duzhi after rummaging in the cabinet. The boots were several years old and covered with dust, but they could still be worn after wiping.

Although Li Duzhi was dissatisfied with these boots, his leather shoes were dirty. It would take several hours to wash them before wearing them again. He could only take off his shoes and put on the Western boots. Tolerating the discomfort, he went to the living room.

Wang Hongwei also changed.

The two sat in the living room and discussed contracting the mountain. Although they felt that there was no problem, Li Duzhi was still a bit worried.

Wang Hongwei may not have seen it, but Li Duzhi knew that Secretary Guan did not want them to contract the north mountain. As soon as he told this to Wang Hongwei, the latter patted his chest to reassure him.

"Assistant Li, your worries are actually superfluous. Besides us in the Guan’s Village, who else can afford the contracting costs? I have already inquired about it. At present, no one in the Guan’s Village has the intention of contracting. Even if outsiders want to contract and win the mountain, they can't compete with us. "

"You are so confident?" Li Duzhi actually looked down on Wang Hongwei. He knew that their family wanted to climb up to his boss, thinking that with millions of assets in his family, they could be compared with him. If it were not for their use, it would be impossible for the boss to let Miss Lisa associate with Wang Ningkai.

"Of course." Wang Hongwei lived most of his life, but he still could not see through juniors who were nearly a decade younger than him. "The Guan’s Village is somewhat exclusive. If they aren’t locals, it is impossible for them to contract the mountain. Even if we don’t say anything about it, Secretary Guan will reject them in one bite. "

Li Duzhi didn't take it seriously when he heard these words. He already knew about this. The boss had not been interested in the Guan’s Village’s mountain for just a day or two. The company wanted to expand and go further so they need to find more and better resources. In the past, the boss had fancied the Guan’s Village, but as soon as it was heard that they were outsiders, Secretary Guan directly rejected them.

Later, the boss accidentally learned that Wang Ningkai, Miss Lisa's target of interest, actually came from the Wang’s Village and now lived in the Guan’s Village. The plan that he had originally intended to abandon had been brought up again. This time, they became smarter. With the Guan’s Village resident, Wang Hongwei, Secretary Guan did not immediately refuse.

"Then quickly settle this matter." Li Duzhi didn't want to go out of his way. The sooner they settled this, the sooner he could go back for a business trip, and he wasn’t planning on coming here again.

"Okay, I'll talk to that person again in the afternoon to discuss this, and we should be able to do it tomorrow." Wang Hongwei responded.

The man he was talking about was an old man in the Guan’s Village. The old man had a son who worked in Wang Ningkai's construction company. Their family also planned to move out of the Guan’s Village. Wang Hongwei and Wang Ningkai discussed how to make the old man help them. It was decided that they would promote the old man’s son to foreman, and his wages would be more than doubled. Now, he managed a team of 20 or 30 people. The old man's family had benefited, so he promised to help.

In the afternoon, Wang Hongwei ran to the old man's house.

The next day, the Wang Hongwei trio went to Secretary Guan's house with the materials. However, before they spoke, Wang Hongwei and Li Duzhi were shocked by Secretary Guan’s first sentence.

"What? The north mountain has been contracted?" Wang Hongwei shouted with a trembling voice and a disbelieving expression. Just now he was so full of confidence, and a drop from the cloud made him almost unable to bear it.

"Yes, you're one step too late." Secretary Guan had a pitiful tone and expression. As for whether it was actually pity for them, everyone knew it well.

"Secretary Guan, didn't you say that no one had contracted it? Why did this person suddenly come out? What happened?" Wang Hongwei saw that the cooked duck was about to fly, and the shock in his heart could not be described in words.

"You asked me before, but did not ask again." Secretary Guan wasn’t talking nonsense. Although Papa Wang came to him first, he didn't mention the idea of ​​contracting the north mountain at that time. It was yesterday that he learned they had these intentions.

Wang Hongwei lost his strength and fell back in his chair.

"Secretary Guan, can you tell us who it is?" Li Duzhi was also a person who had seen strong winds and waves. Before, he was not as optimistic as Wang Hongwei had been. Now this result was not completely unexpected, so he soon calmed down and thought of suspicious people.

Even if Secretary Guan didn't want them to succeed, he wouldn’t break the jar and give it to other outsiders, so the person who took the first step was most likely from the Guan’s Village. However, Wang Hongwei told him yesterday that the Guan’s Village did not have any buyers, so he wanted to know who it was.

Hearing what he said, Wang Hongwei also looked at Secretary Guan.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you, this man also knows Brother Wang. He is Guan Maohui." Secretary Guan knew that sooner or later they would know, and Wang Cheng didn’t mean to hide it, so he simply told them.

Guan Maohui?

Li Duzhi was not familiar with this name.

However, Wang Hongwei could not fail to know this person, because he was the father of Wang Cheng’s mother, Guan Lanfang’s father. The old man had lived in the Guan’s Village for more than 70 years. Secretary Guan must have been happy to let him contract the north mountain because he was a native of the Guan’s Village. It wasn’t necessary to notify them.

"No, how could Guan Maohui have the money to contract the north mountain?" Speaking of Guan Maohui, he recalled Wang Cheng's family. When he remembered Mount Fengxia being acquired by the developers, Wang Hongwei immediately thought of Wang Cheng. "It is Wang Cheng, right?"

After he heard this, Li Duzhi immediately remembered the father and son pair that he saw on the mountain yesterday morning. The handsome young man with short hair seemed to be called Wang Cheng. Was it him?

Secretary Guan wondered if he would go to Wang Cheng sooner or later, and crisply told him, "Yes, it is Wang Cheng. It was the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival when he asked his father to come and ask about the north mountain. I told them and they later came here several times in succession. Their tone seemed to be interested in contracting the north mountain, and I told them that if villagers wanted to contract, I could give them another mountain. They probably felt good about that and came here yesterday to go through the formalities. The north mountain is now in their name. "

Wang Hongwei’s feet and hands were trembling with anger; he never imagined that the person who cut off his son’s great future would be the third family. Even if Secretary Guan had intentions to protect the third brother and Wang Cheng, he had already guessed it was Wang Cheng who deliberately opposed him.

Leaving Secretary Guan’s house, Wang Hongwei went straight to Wang Cheng's house.

Li Duzhi and the old man hesitated, but accompanied him. The former wanted to see the follow-up. Maybe there was a chance to turn this around. The latter came because of his son. Now that things were like this, who knew if they would suddenly regret the promotion of the son's foreman position? So he followed with the idea that maybe he could help. At this time, it was ten o'clock in the morning. Wang Hongwei went to Wang Cheng's house in anger, and rushed in without even knocking on the door.

Wang Ziyu heard the sound and ran out holding the little fragrant pig. She was very surprised to see her eldest uncle, but before she spoke, he told her to call out Papa Wang and Wang Cheng with great anger. He usually prepared an arrogant posture, and always had a false, kind expression on his face, but now he was too lazy to even pretend.

"Uncle is looking for my dad and second brother? They are not at home." Wang Ziyu frowned. She didn't like the feeling that the eldest uncle was giving. He seemed to be looking for faults with them.

"Where are they?" Wang Hongwei asked, exasperated.

"Is there anything wrong with my dad and my second brother?" Wang Ziyu looked at him, asking vigilantly.

"I'll let you tell me, you just say where they are." Wang Hongwei was faint with anger. He didn't put Wang Ziyu in his eyes, let alone maintain the good temper and fake mask that he usually disguised himself with.

The more he acted like this, the less likely it was for Wang Ziyu to tell him, "If uncle says nothing, I can't tell you. Maybe if you come back next time, my dad and second brother will be here."

Wang Hongwei couldn't catch his breath, but Li Duzhi was smarter. Right now they were begging for help and had to lower their posture, so he explained to her gently, "Little sister, we just want to ask your father and second brother, there are no other malicious intentions about contracting the mountain. So can you tell us? "

"Well, they're over there in the new house."

Suddenly, it was so simple. The three were stunned. Of course, Wang Ziyu couldn't tell them at first. Her dad and second brother had told her long ago: if the uncle came to find them, tell them what she just did, don't let them know too easily. She wanted to know what they were going to do and had heard the second brother's story long ago.

Wang Hongwei didn't have time to talk with Wang Ziyu about her disrespectful behavior towards her elders, and immediately led them to fight in the new house.
