Chapter 481
"So, you have no choice now!" Liu Guohao said sinisterly, "Paying us for the project may cost you a few hundred million at once, but if you don't, then sorry, you will become completely destitute, and by then. Will you still be so arrogant? Will you still dare to touch my people?"
Liu Guohao gritted his teeth at the end of his words.
And once his words were out, Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie looked at each other and both seemed to understand what he meant, and the problem Liu Guohao was talking about seemed to be very practical.
Now Liu Guohao had a large number of project acceptance certificates in his hands, as long as he took those things and sued himself, then he would really have no chance.
Refusal to pay for the works. The final result is that their situation will be ten times more difficult than it is now.
At that time, don't say anything about rebuilding the south of the city project. It is estimated that even if they want to demolish the tofu dregs already under construction, they will not have the money to do so.
At that point, unable to move in and unable to move out, that would be the worst outcome for themselves!
Jiang Hao looked at Ye Yunjie, and it seemed that neither of them had any countermeasures left.
He sighed in his heart and said, "Tell me, what do you really want?"
Liu Guohao snorted as he looked at the dying Liu Qiang on the ground and said viciously, "I don't want anything, I just want to tell you that now you only have this one chance left if you want to live, huh, do you want to take it? Then I'll give you a chance, how about that!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Guohao pointed his finger towards the outside of the building, by now the wind had picked up outside and the wind was rolling up pieces of dark clouds, it seemed like it was going to rain today.
Liu Guohao said, "I will give you a chance right now. You will go out now and kneel outside the Haoyuan Building for me until my son is discharged from the hospital, and during this period, as long as you are still kneeling, not only will I not go and sue you, I will also not ask you to settle the payment for the project."
"Oh, that's a good deal, isn't it? You know, this is one of the few good deals for you guys!" Liu Guohao sneered.
He was deliberately humiliating Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie, not only did he want to humiliate his own son when he was beaten up by them like this, he even hated to kill Jiang Hao now, it was just that his own strength didn't allow it now!
And at this moment, all eyes fell on Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie's bodies.
Faced with such humiliation, everyone wanted to see how Jiang Hao would react, whether he would face it forcefully, or whether he would give in for a few billion.
"Huh ......" Suddenly, Jiang Hao laughed coldly. Slowly speaking, he said, "Are you joking? Kneeling down to you? Are you worthy of it? Do you think I would care about your threats? It's ridiculous, don't you want to go sue me? Go ahead."
Jiang Hao's tone was very calm, as if he didn't put Liu Guohao in his eyes at all.
He pointed at Jiang Hao and snarled, "It's not my fault, you asked for it, let's meet in court! I want to see if you will kneel down and beg me to drop the case!"
The matter had come to this, Jiang Hao had nothing more to say, he directly got up and walked out, sneering at Liu Guohao, and finally said, "You're ridiculous."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Hao walked out, and as he walked up to the few Thunder Group members outside the door, several of them bowed slightly to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao, however, patted one of them on the shoulder and said coldly, "Go, take care of the people inside, as long as they don't die!"
That Thunder Group member nodded heavily, "Understood Jiang Shao."
Jiang Hao answered. Without looking back, he walked out, and just as Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie walked away, those few members of the Thunder Group, rushed into the room they had just been in with an aggressive manner.
Not long after, the whole room was suddenly filled with Zhen Zhen's heart-breaking howls and the loud noise of miscellaneous things.
Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie went straight downstairs to the car park, and after they got into the car, they set off.
Jiang Hao did not go to the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Instead, he asked Ye Yunjie to drive him back to school.
In the past two days, Jiang Hao felt like he was in a terrible mood.
Several billion dollars had gone down the drain in a matter of moments, and he felt a bit ashamed of his father.
Jiang Hao returned to school, lay in his dorm room for a while, then called Xue Yuning and asked her to meet him at a cafe near the school.
Obviously, Xue Yuning still hadn't gotten over the fact that her father had approached her earlier.
However, she had also heard about the project in the south of the city, so she was naturally more aware of Jiang Hao's difficulties.
So as soon as they met, Xue Yuning comforted Jiang Hao.
However, Jiang Hao only dealt with it in a few words. In fact, he only wanted to take a look at Xue Yuning. After seeing that Xue Yuning was fine, Jiang Hao was completely relieved.
When Liu Qiang had told Jiang Hao how he had treated Xue Yuning earlier, Jiang Hao's heart was practically bursting with fear.
Jiang Hao sighed and said to Xue Yuning, "I might be a bit busy lately, so you take care of yourself."
Xue Yuning nodded and flashed a sweet burst of smile at Jiang Hao and was about to speak when her mobile phone rang.
As soon as she saw the call, Xue Yuning's smile instantly disappeared, and she directly shoved the phone back into her pocket, pretending not to see it.
"What's wrong? Who is it." Jiang Hao asked with a frown.
Xue Yuning sighed, "It's my mother, now she's desperately trying to get me to recognise that man, I don't know what my mother really thinks, when that man abandoned us so heartlessly, she once said to me in a loud voice. She had said to me that she would never forgive him for the rest of her life, but when he appeared, it was as if my mother had forgotten all the past hatred and all the suffering she had suffered because of him. She obeyed that man's words without a single complaint."
Xue Yu Ning sighed, "Ai, how did she become so fast ......"
Jiang Hao looked at Ye Yunjie, this was the first time he had heard Xue Yuning talk about his father.
"Then do you ...... you want to recognize him?" Jiang Hao asked tentatively.
Xue Yuning hesitated for a moment. She hesitated for a long time before shaking her head, "I don't know. I hate him, I hate him very much, but that's my father after all. I don't know if I should hate him or not, and maybe he came to me to make up for all the regrets he's had for me over the years, I don't know if I'll chill his heart if I hate him ......"
Obviously, in the face of her sudden father, Xue Yu Ning's heart was very complicated, somewhat overwhelmed and confused.
"Then do you think I should hate him?" Xue Yuning suddenly turned to Jiang Hao and asked him.
Jiang Hao also hesitated for a moment, in fact he knew that he was not qualified to comment on others, because his and Xue Yuning's fates were too similar, both having been abandoned by their own fathers since childhood.
However, Jiang Hao did not hate his father, and even the moment Shen Haoting reappeared in his life, Jiang Hao believed that his father must have had a bitter reason for leaving him in the first place.
Then, if that was the case, what reason did he have to make Xue Yu Ning hate his father?
Chapter 482
Just then, Jiang Hao's mobile phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Ye Yunjie, and after Jiang Hao picked up, Ye Yunjie just asked where Jiang Hao was and told him that she would send a car to pick him up.
It seemed that something very urgent had happened.
Jiang Hao was a bit puzzled. What was going on.
But then he thought about it, at a time like now, almost anything could happen.
The current South City Project had become a patient with tumours all over its body. If you press the tumour here, several tumours will rise at the same time.
The recent exhaustion had really made Jiang Hao a bit tired.
"What's wrong?" Xue Yuning saw that after answering the phone, Jiang Hao's face was a bit unpleasant. So she asked.
Jiang Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Nothing, Sister Ye probably has some things she wants me to take care of, she'll send a car over later."
Jiang Hao looked at Xue Yuning, his eyes full of pity, he smiled and said, "Yuning, in fact, no one can help you in this matter, whether to acknowledge your father or not, only you can decide, do you understand?"
Xue Yuning nodded silently, she certainly understood this truth.
But she really couldn't make up her mind.
After a short while, the car Ye Yunjie had sent pulled up outside the cafe.
Jiang Hao grabbed his clothes and gently gave Xue Yuning a kiss on her forehead. Smiling, he said, "I might be a bit busy recently, so you should take care of yourself."
Xue Yuning smiled, "You too ......"
Jiang Hao then went out and got into his car, while Xue Yuning kept looking out of the cafe window, all the way to the tail lights of the car Jiang Hao was riding in before she silently turned her head.
Xue Yuning sighed silently, in fact she knew that now was the most difficult time for Jiang Hao, and she really wanted to help him, but helplessly, she was unable to help in any way because she had the will to do so.
Xue Yu Ning took a sip of her coffee, she suddenly thought of something and her hand, which was gripping the phone, couldn't help but move slightly.
Xue Yu Ning thought, although she could not help Jiang Hao, but her own father seemed to be able to ah, if ......
Xue Yuning thought about it. She could not help but shake her head again, she knew very well that if she let him help Jiang Hao, then she would first have to identify herself with him.
This is something that Xue Yuning is somewhat unable to do.
Once she remembered the hardships she had suffered in the past, Xue Yuning hated her own father more and more.
At this moment, just across the road from the cafe, in the same cafe, a pair of eyes were staring deadly at Xue Yuning.
After a long time, the man showed a wicked smile, got up and walked out of the cafe ......
On the other hand, Jiang Hao was directly driven back to Ye Yunjie's company.
In Ye Yunjie's office. Jiang Hao finally met Ye Yunjie.
Jiang Hao frowned and asked Ye Yunjie, who was sitting behind her desk, "What's wrong Sister Ye, is something wrong again?"
Ye Yunjie nodded her head. She pushed a pile of paper-like things directly in front of Jiang Hao: "See, bad things have come again."
At this point, after the blows of the past two days, Jiang Hao's ability to bear his heart was obviously all much stronger.
He took a glance at those things and realized that there were a dozen of them in total. Surprisingly, they were a bunch of official documents, and they were still buckled and stamped.
"This ...... is ......," Jiang Hao scratched his head.
"Someone sent it over when I just came back, it's a bunch of notices from the relevant departments that we've been reported!" Ye Yunjie sighed.
"Reported? Why?" Jiang Hao asked with a stunned expression, "Who have we been reported by?"
Ye Yunjie shook her head. Continuing, "There are those who say our project is polluting the environment, those who say our land occupation is illegal, and those who say something about the noise from our construction affecting the rest of the nearby residents! It's ridiculous, our project site is five kilometres away from the nearest households, are they all clairaudient?"
Ye Yunjie simply found these things a bit ridiculous.
When Jiang Hao heard this, he didn't nearly laugh either: "These things, we can just ignore him, there's no need to be bothered, right?"
Ye Yunjie shook her head: "What bothers me is not this, what bothers me is because these things, have shaken the city's confidence in us, I've gotten the inside scoop. Now there are already proposals from the top to withdraw the City South project and punish us heavily. To appease the people!"
"What?" Jiang Hao was stunned, "Is this ...... news really true? They can't really do this, right? The south of the city project is a hundred-year plan, whether for the city of Chujiang. The people of Chujiang will benefit from this project in the present day, and they can't listen to one side of the story and take the project down, right? What about the money we have invested? What about the money we have invested? And punish us heavily? Isn't that unloading the mill and killing the donkey?"
Jiang Hao smiled. He was a bit angry.
He felt like a child's toy, and when this child liked him, he loved him immensely.
But when he didn't like it anymore and had a new toy, he threw himself away as soon as he could, and even thought of how to dismantle himself!
And this news from Ye Yunjie was indeed a big bad news.
After all, even if the City South project encounters any major difficulties, it can be overcome after all, but if the people at the top lose confidence in the project, that would be a great misfortune.
Especially as there is talk of withdrawing the City South project, if this proposal is passed, or if a large part of it supports the proposal, then it will be a disaster for the City South project.
After all, no matter how the City South project loses money, how it loses money, as long as the project can go on normally, as long as the project is successfully completed, once it is running, it won't take long to make back the money lost.
But if the project is dismantled, then the money that one has invested in it will really become gold coins in the old lake, and at most one will see a splash, and then there will be no more.
The house leaks, and that's what it says about one's current situation, right? Jiang Hao was a bit arrogant.
"So what should we do? Operate to unblock it?" Jiang Hao asked Ye Yunjie.
Ye Yunjie shook her head, "It's useless, in fact I've long felt the change in attitude from the top towards the City South project, as soon as the project went wrong last time, I operated through my connections, but they simply ignored me, and even scolded the person I sent there, saying that there was no problem, what are you being faint-hearted about?"
"So you're just waiting to die?" Jiang Hao said with a sigh.
Ye Yunjie nodded, apparently there was nothing more she could do.
And just as the two of them were talking, suddenly there was a knock on Ye Yunjie's office door and Ye Yunjie's secretary walked in and said, "Sister Ye. There is someone outside who says he wants to see you."
Chapter 483
"Who is it?" Ye Yunjie looked at her hand and said in confusion, "It's already eight o'clock."
That secretary was about to speak when a figure suddenly sprang out behind him.
The man smiled and said loudly, "Miss Ye, how are you doing? I've taken the liberty to ask for your help!"
That person was familiar with himself. He had no intention of being a stranger.
On the contrary, when Ye Yunjie saw this person, she looked puzzled, "Why is it you?"
Jiang Hao also looked surprised to see this person, and a touch of curiosity surfaced on his face, "What are you doing here?"
The person who came was no other than Xu Tianlin.
Of course Ye Yunjie knew Xu Tianlin, this Xu Da Shao of the number one family in Chu Jiang was an existence that called the shots in Chu Jiang.
It was just that Ye Yunjie did not know. At this time, Xu Tianlin had approached her for what exactly was the matter.
Jiang Hao, on the other hand, was even more curious. He had had contact with Xu Tianlin before, and Jiang Hao knew that this man was arrogant and arrogant.
Jiang Hao did not have a single good feeling towards Xu Tianlin, even for such a person. It would not be a pity not to have contact and interaction for the rest of his life.
Jiang Hao could also clearly feel that this person Xu Tianlin seemed to be somewhat difficult to deal with, as if he was pervasive, and every time Jiang Hao saw this person, he inexplicably felt that this person was dangerous.
Especially today, this man suddenly came to the door, and the more he surprised Jiang Hao.
It was obvious that Xu Tianlin would not come to the door today for no reason, especially at such a critical point in time.
"Haha, you two seem a little surprised by my arrival, huh?" Xu Tianlin glanced at Jiang Hao. Smiling, he said, "This one should be called Jiang Shao, right? Aigoooooo, I only knew about this from reading the reports earlier, so Jiang Shao is the investor behind the City South project, what a pleasure to meet you."
Jiang Hao ignored the other party and instead hastily packed up the things that Ye Yunjie had handed to him earlier.
"Are you here for something?" Ye Yunjie waved her hand at the secretary behind her, gesturing for her to go out, and by the way, put the door on.
Only then did Ye Yunjie continue to say again, "It seems that we don't have too much business dealings with the Xu family, right? I assume that Mr. Xu is here today because he has nothing to do?"
Xu Tianlin laughed out loud, "Smart, really smart, of course I won't come to the door without any business."
Xu Tianlin looked at Jiang Hao, and those things Jiang Hao packed, and waved his hand with a smile, "There's no need for Jiang Shao to pack, I won't look at those things, after all, I've already seen them long ago. Haha ......"
Once Xu Tianlin said this, Jiang Hao and also Ye Yunjie looked at each other, looking somewhat surprised and appalled.
He had seen it a long time ago? What does this mean? This is a notice that came down from various departments and only a few people have read it, how could he have read it?
Thinking of this, the two of them turned their gazes on Xu Tianlin in unison.
They seemed to have sensed that Xu Tianlin had come here today with an ulterior motive.
"What do you mean?" Ye Yunjie looked at Xu Tianlin with a keen gaze and said in what seemed to be a cross-examination.
Jiang Hao asked even more bluntly, "Couldn't ...... be that you did all these things?"
What Jiang Hao was referring to, of course, was the matter of those trumped up reports.
You know, those more than ten reports, most of which are unfounded, are completely nonsensical. It was even illogical.
Obviously, this was someone else hacking himself, only Jiang Hao was just pondering. Who exactly was hacking himself.
And now, he seemed to have the answer.
Only this answer, whether it was Jiang Hao or Ye Yunjie, both felt uneasy.
Because did this mean that the person who was always hiding behind the scenes to mess with the City South project was Xu Tianlin?
And to know. Xu Tianlin was the eldest son of the Xu family, so did that also mean that the force behind the set of combinations that had completely beaten up the City South project was the Xu family?
If that was the case, that would be terrifying!
Jiang Hao finished those words. Hastily, he and Ye Yunjie looked at each other, and they both seemed to coincidentally feel unease in each other's eyes.
After all, the Xu Family was the number one family in Chu Jiang, and its strength and the power of its connections behind it were not to be underestimated.
If it was true that they had set their eyes on the project in the south of the city, then it seemed to fully explain everything that had happened before, and it also signalled that things would become more and more difficult.
Xu Tianlin's gaze was somewhat lone, he didn't seem to put Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie in his eyes at all, he just smiled disdainfully and said, "That's right, those things on your desk. It was me who did it, how about that, was it fun?"
Xu Tianlin was quite honest. He even felt that now that things had come to this point, there was no need for him to cover up any more. After all, Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie were already like fish on a chopping block.
But to Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie, his words were like a heavy bomb. But to Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie, his words were like a heavy bomb falling on the surface of the water, instantly stirring up huge waves.
It seemed that things were moving in the worst possible direction!
Jiang Hao looked at Xu Tianlin and hurriedly asked again, "The south of the city project, the one behind the shenanigans is also you, right?"
Xu Tianlin smiled again, "That's right, those contractors of yours, it was me who took care of it, how about that, did I do a good job of keeping it a secret, if I didn't tell you, you guys would still be in the dark by now, right? Haha ......"
At this moment, Xu Tianlin, as if treating himself as a victor, had already seen no one in his eyes and already felt that he could be recklessly arrogant and unrestrained.
He even mocked Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie, saying, "It's you guys, huh, I really feel sorry for you guys, what a great situation you once had, right in front of you, and you didn't cherish it, how about now? Are you regretting it now? It's a pity, a pity, it's too late!"
"You're very proud of yourself, aren't you?" Jiang Hao questioned coldly.
Xu Tianlin laughed and walked straight to the sofa on the side, crossing his legs and saying, "Shouldn't I be complacent? What a perfect plan, what a precise execution, if I didn't say anything would you yourselves know that I was behind this matter? Oh, the defeated underlings, what can you do to me if I am complacent?"
Xu Tianlin's words directly irritated Jiang Hao and Ye Yunjie, especially Ye Yunjie, after she heard that it was Xu Tianlin who was behind all this, her whole person was about to explode.
For one thing, she was furious that Xu Tianlin was so devious and cunning, and for another, she thought of her own sister.
It seemed that Ye Xiaorou was also being used by Xu Tianlin!
Damn it!
Ye Yunjie wanted to rush towards Xu Tianlin and said viciously, "Bastard, what have you done to my sister? Why did she choose to help you and betray me? Where is Xiao Rou? You tell me!"
