Ning Anlan frowned. At that time, she had been too anxious, because the previous employees of the Ning clan had been too relaxed. Now that such an intense project had suddenly appeared in front of them, they really couldn't eat anymore.
"Call Crisis Public Relations and put the news down first. Stay with the people downstairs and don't have any physical contact with them. Also, senior Chen and this guy called Zhang Liao have sent people to follow along. Hey, I still need a few people who can use this money for you. You know what to do, keep the rest for yourself. "
Ning Anlan fished out a card from his bag and handed it to Chang. Chang nodded and left the office.
The phone rang. It was Chen Zhong. "Miss Li, I've asked about the matters in Northern Alley. Today, the government suddenly gave the land to the Gu family. The Gu family is going to build a hotel, so …"
Chen Zhong's tone was awkward. This wouldn't have gone against his agreement with Ning Anlan. At that time, they were indeed going to build a hotel, but now, Northern Grace Lane no longer belonged to the government.
Ning Anlan felt a headache coming on. She thought that something was amiss, but it turned out to be the ancient city's doing.
Since he wanted Norn Lane, why not just take over with her? Why take such a long detour? Moreover, he could not possibly not know that she was adamant about not allowing the hotel to be built, but he still had to do so.
Ning Anlan didn't really have the energy to discuss with the ancient city, but she couldn't just ignore this matter.
"Hey, do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to a meal." Ning Anlan dialed the ancient city's number. There were no superfluous words, and his tone was cold as he directly made an appointment with the ancient city.
The ancient city raised an eyebrow. He knew that Ning Anlan would definitely call him today, but right now … The ancient city looked at the earth-shattering news. The Ning clan was already in such a state, but they didn't expect Ning Anlan to care so much about the Northern Grace Lane affair.
"If you have time, send me the address in a while." The ancient city smiled and hung up.
"But we made an appointment tonight …" Mingqing frowned. How could the ancient city say that they had nothing to do at night? They had clearly already made an appointment with a partner at night, so how could the ancient city forget?
He saw the ancient city looking at Ming Qing coldly, as if they were going to kill someone. It was very cold, and Ming Qing realized that she might have said something wrong. She immediately shut her mouth and looked at the ancient city innocently.
"I think you've been working too hard recently. You don't have a good memory. "From today onwards, you will have to work an extra two hours. Otherwise, the prize money will be deducted."
After the ancient city said this, they buried themselves in their work. Mingqing wanted to cry, but there were no tears. Why did he need to speak? It was fine now, he still needed to work overtime.
A'Long's movements were very quick. He had already found the people in the afternoon. They were all his comrades back then. Although they weren't as powerful as him, they were still very capable.
The most important thing was that these people were all innocent. They were all Ning Anlan's own people. He was using safety to protect them from suspicion. Ning Anlan was very satisfied with this.
"Very good, send two people to follow Chen Xiong, two people to follow Zhang Lie, and two people to look at the injured one. Follow me for a bit."
Ning Anlan told Ah Chang that it wasn't long before they were all dispatched. A few of them were temporarily fine, so Ning Anlan told them to return first. There would be something they needed to do.
These people are all my trusted aides, so they are definitely trustworthy and reliable. I set the price according to their individual abilities. Also, you gave me too much.
A'Chang fished out a card from his pocket and gave it to Ning Anlan. Ning Anlan didn't take it, but what he said was like pouring water into a bucket. Since she said she would give the rest of the money to him, she wouldn't break her promise.
"Since I've said that I'll give it to you, then I'll give it to you. If I let you take it, then take it. If you don't, then are you disdaining the less money I give you?" Ning Anlan looked at A'Chang, clearly flustered.
"No, no. Since Director Ning has already given it to me, then I won't hold back. In the future, if there's anything you need me to do, just give me the orders. I'll definitely do my best."
Ning Anlan nodded. He was very satisfied with what he said. Long was indeed very capable. Not only was he working or living, he was also doing very well.
Ning Anlan and A'Chang had automatically placed the ancient city into Vice President Chen's hands. And facing this kind of person, how could Ning Anlan possibly go by himself? He had to bring A'Chang along.
This time, the ancient city was not as late as Ning Anlan, but he was not late either. When they got here, Ning Anlan's face was sullen, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
That was true. If something like that happened to the Ning family, Ning Anlan would definitely be in a very bad mood. How could he still be in a good mood?
"You came rather early, why did you suddenly remember to treat me to a meal?" The ancient city sat gracefully on the chair opposite Ning Anlan. His long fingers were clearly defined. He pulled on his tie, which gave him the allure of abstinence.
Ning Anlan shifted his gaze away and looked at the ancient city, his lips tightly pursed.
"Gu is always a smart person. You should know why I'm treating Director Gu to a meal, right?"
A cold voice rang out. The ancient city blinked. Of course he knew why Ning Anlan invited him to dinner, but he wanted to pretend to be stupid and didn't want to admit it.
"I don't know what Miss Ning is talking about. I hope Miss Ning can say whatever you want, don't waste my time." Ning Anlan frowned. She really wanted to give the ancient city a slap in the face right now in order to vent the hatred in her heart.
"You know what I'm saying. Why did you buy North Lane and build it into a hotel? "
Ning Anlan's voice unconsciously grew louder. It seemed that she wasn't as calm as she was before. After all, the Ning family had caused such an incident, and the ancient city was still blocking her path. She really couldn't remain indifferent.
It was rather hard for Ning Anlan to put it like that. The ancient city smiled lightly, then shook its head, once again revealing the look it had when it was looking at a fool.
"I've taken a fancy to the land in North Lane. Is it strange to buy it? Moreover, the hotel can give me huge benefits. I am a merchant, so it's not too much to pursue benefits. " Ning Anlan was greatly incensed by the ancient city's matter-of-fact expression.
What the ancient city said made sense. He was a merchant, so he should pursue maximum benefits. And it was precisely for this reason that Ning Anlan became even angrier. Because she didn't know how to refute that.
