To prevent matters from worsening, Zhou Yun was direct.
Without a word, he knelt before Wu Tian and kowtowed, saying, "I apologize. This was a serious dereliction of my duty. I was wrong!"
Wu Tian smiled slightly and ignored him, turning to Shen Guofu and saying, "Mr. Shen, there's something else I need to mention."
"Our village needs to build a road, and I'm funding and overseeing this project."
"Since Shunfeng Road and Bridge is your company, why don't you make the decision to have the contract signed here?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu immediately nodded, "No problem, no problem! I was just wondering where I could help you!"
"Don't worry, I will deliver a product that meets the highest standards and satisfies you the most!"
Zhou Yun pricked up his ears, feeling he had found an opportunity.
He quickly said, "Mr. Wu, please let me handle this project. I will not fail!"
Wu Tian gave Shen Guofu a knowing look, and Shen Guofu immediately understood.
He stepped forward and said, "I've secured this project, but who said you would be in charge?"
"From now on, you are no longer the General Manager of Shunfeng Road and Bridge."
"Since you like being a security guard so much, why don't you go work as one at the main gate!"
"What?!" Zhou Yun almost suffered a myocardial infarction on the spot.
Demoted from General Manager to security guard...
This was more painful to him than losing his life!
But what was the use of saying anything more now? He could only blame his own foolishness.
He looked at Luo Jieshan, who was also trembling, and felt very displeased.
It was all this scoundrel's fault!
If it weren't for him, how could he have ended up in such a state!
At this moment, any friendship was just fleeting.
To drag Luo Jieshan down with him, he quickly said, "Wait a minute! I admit my own fault, but what about this guy!"
"He is the mastermind. Why is he completely fine!"
Luo Jieshan was stunned and immediately retorted angrily, "Zhou Yun! What nonsense are you spouting! Are you crazy!"
Shen Guofu said coldly, "Luo Jieshan, you might as well forget about your career from now on. I will speak to your boss and have you removed."
Luo Jieshan was struck by lightning!
Shen Guofu had a very good relationship with his boss. He knew that with just one word from Shen Guofu, he would definitely be demoted!
Thinking of this, Luo Jieshan's anger surged, and he lunged at Zhou Yun like a mad dog...
Luo Jieshan and Zhou Yun fought like two dogs, and the end result was mutual destruction.
Afterward, Shen Guofu, as if clearing away trash, quickly drove both of them away.
In the office, Shen Guofu apologized to Wu Tian.
To express his apology, he decided to build the road for Taohua Village free of charge under the name of Shen's Group.
Wu Tian initially refused this proposal, but seeing Shen Guofu's persistence, he didn't say much more.
However, he did remember this favor, and if Shen Guofu ever needed help in the future, he would do his best to assist him.
After leaving Shunfeng Road and Bridge, Wang Damao finally recovered from his shock.
He looked as if he had drunk fake wine, exceptionally excited, and kept patting Wu Tian's shoulder, saying, "Wu Tian, Wu Tian, you are truly the great treasure of our Taohua Village!"
"How much good fortune has our Taohua Village accumulated to encounter a divine person like you!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Village Chief, you're exaggerating. I'm from Taohua Village, and I'm doing this only for the village's development."
"After this road is built, you, as the Village Chief, must work hard to develop our village!"
Wang Damao laughed heartily, "Certainly, certainly! That's easy! Don't worry, Wu Tian, I can feel it, the luck of our Taohua Village is about to arrive!"
"I believe that it won't be long before we shake off the label of a poverty-stricken village!"
Wu Tian looked at Wang Damao's happy expression and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Alas, he hoped it would indeed be so.
With the road construction issue resolved, the two waited by the roadside for a car to take them back to Taohua Village immediately.
However, before the car arrived, Wu Tian suddenly received a call from Tang Qi.
He was a little puzzled and answered the phone, asking, "Hello, President Tang, what can I do for you?"
Tang Qi laughed on the phone, "You still know to answer my calls? I thought you had run away."
"You borrowed my car earlier, you haven't forgotten, have you? Why haven't you returned it yet?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's heart skipped a beat.
He had forgotten about it!
Tang Qi's Ferrari had already been sent to the car scrapyard!
He immediately felt a bit awkward and said apologetically, "Ah, about that, well... your car probably won't be returned."
"What did you say!" Tang Qi almost shouted on the other end.
"What do you mean it won't be returned? Wu Tian, what do you mean?"
Wu Tian felt his ears were almost deafened, and he stammered, "That... there was a small accident, and it's fortunate that I'm unharmed."
"Your car has been scrapped."
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a thunderous roar: "Say that again!!!"
"That's a Ferrari worth three million! How can it be scrapped just like that! You didn't go street racing, did you!"
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wu Tian's back.
Tang Qi was not far from the truth.
He had been too anxious earlier and had driven back almost recklessly, so the car was already badly damaged.
Then, after the incident with Su Qiannai, the car had become a pile of parts, truly beyond repair.
He quickly said in a low voice, "Calm down, don't get so angry."
"It was just a small accident, and it's good that I'm safe."
"How about this, I'll compensate you with a new car, alright? Don't worry, it will be no less than three million!"
Tang Qi wasn't particularly heartbroken, as three million was a small matter to her.
However, Wu Tian had lost the car without a word, and she still felt very displeased. So, she snorted and said, "What car do you plan to compensate me with? I'll tell you, I'm very picky about cars!"
"If you're going to compensate me, then compensate me with the latest model Mercedes-Benz."
"Otherwise, don't bother compensating me!"
The latest model Mercedes-Benz?
Hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but freeze.
He suddenly remembered that Zhou Susu's father, Zhou Hua, had given him a voucher earlier.
He said that with that voucher, he could go to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store and collect the latest Mercedes-Benz car.
In that case, wouldn't that be perfect?
Thinking of this, he immediately said to Tang Qi, "This, no problem! I can compensate you today!"
