Tang Shikai found it reasonable and turned to look for Hong Fei, but was stopped by Tang Lei, "Cousin, wait, I have one more thing to tell you. I met Hong Fei yesterday, and I saw someone you would never guess who it was."
"Who?"
At the same time, Zhang Liunian once again ascended to the food factory. This time he was here to collect engineering payments.
"This is the first batch of engineering payments, a total of three million yuan. The remaining more than three million yuan can only be released when the construction site is half-built. Can you accept this?" Fang Yan pushed two large sacks of money to Zhang Liunian's feet.
Zhang Liunian scanned them and saw the money inside, green and disorganized, piled together. It was obvious it was gathered by the employees. His mouth twitched, "This is really difficult for me to take. How about calling a couple of people to help me carry it to the bank, and ask the staff to help me deposit it into an account? That way, I don't have to worry about being robbed."
These two large sacks of money were packed full. It was unrealistic for him to carry them home alone.
"I'll call two people to go with you later, and I will accompany you to prevent any discrepancies in the amount," Fang Yan knew the importance of payment settlement and would not make a mistake here.
"Alright," Zhang Liunian agreed with a smile.
Seeing Zhang Liunian in a good mood, Fang Yan thought of her second sister and said casually, "Your second brother and my second sister are divorced. They just got divorced yesterday. Do your family know?"
Zhang Liunian's expression faltered slightly, divorced? That fast?
Although he knew that Jiang Xing's appearance would lead to this result, according to the trajectory of his previous life, there was still some time to endure. Why was Zhang Liuxing so quick this time?
Could it be that he really stole his money, which gave him inexplicable confidence?
Zhang Liunian didn't know if he had guessed the truth, but Zhang Liuxing's abnormality made him even more suspicious that the 100,000 yuan had been taken by him.
"Is that so? That's his own business, it has nothing to do with me. Let's get down to business!" Zhang Liunian wasn't too concerned about Zhang Liuxing's affairs. He got up to leave. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Fang Yan had her assistant call two people to transport the money to Nancheng Bank with a flatbed cart.
The bank manager was overjoyed to receive such a large deposit. Although it was a demand deposit, he still treated Zhang Liunian as a VIP, serving him diligently, and finally sending him off warmly.
"Goodbye, Comrade Zhang. From now on, when you come here, go directly inside, and I will personally handle your business. Whether it's withdrawing or depositing money, your business will be processed as quickly as possible." This bank manager was also a capable person. He was very shocked and admired when he learned that Zhang Liunian had taken over the residential area of the food factory's employees.
It was known that many people were eyeing this project, especially the Tang family, one of Nancheng's twin powers. They didn't get it, but it fell into Zhang Liunian's hands. This was truly unexpected.
"Then I won't be polite. I'll definitely bother Manager Wang next time." Zhang Liunian did not refuse and turned to shake hands and bid farewell.
"Manager Wang is a bit underestimated. If he were poached to do sales, he would definitely do exceptionally well." Fang Yan suddenly exclaimed not long after they walked out.
Zhang Liunian agreed and nodded. He was indeed good at networking, but thinking about sales talent, he couldn't help but think of the woman who sold watches in Nancheng Department Store. She was also a sales talent. It would be even better if he could poach her to work for him.
"By the way, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Do you have time to honor me with a meal?" Fang Yan didn't want to mention the embarrassing incident last time, but for some reason, it slipped out. She carefully observed Zhang Liunian's expression. Seeing that he was indifferent, her heart became complicated again.
"If anyone should invite, it should be me. How about tomorrow? The construction site will start tomorrow, and you all will surely come. We can have lunch together then." Zhang Liunian refused Fang Yan's invitation because he still had to prepare for the construction site's commencement tomorrow.
Fang Yan didn't say anything more, and they parted ways to busy themselves.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning, ten ten AM, the commencement time for the food factory employee buildings.
This time was considered auspicious in Nancheng. It was said that no matter what was done at this time, it would be perfect and complete.
Although Zhang Liunian didn't believe in this, he couldn't help but blend in since others did. Unfortunately, even though he chose the right time and prepared thoroughly, a problem still occurred after the first shovel was dug.
"There can't possibly be an ancient tomb under this construction site. Because this place used to be paddy fields, where would an ancient tomb come from? Someone must be framing us." Fang Yan's expression was unpleasant as she faced a team of law enforcement officers who had suddenly appeared.
Zhang Liunian stared at the ancient tombstone revealed by one shovel and the freshly dug earth. He understood in his heart that this was a scheme by the Tang family. They just didn't want the construction site to start smoothly.
Moreover, Zhang Liunian thought carefully. This incident had never happened in his previous life, nor was there any tombstone.
All signs indicated that the Tang family had made their move.
"The country's cultural relics cannot be taken lightly. You can only start construction after experts have verified it. For now, this place must be sealed off..." The law enforcement captain showed no leniency towards Fang Yan, the female factory director. On the contrary, his words were forceful, as if he had come specifically to seal the construction site.
Fang Yan was furious and walked to Zhang Liunian, angrily saying, "It must be the Tang family causing trouble, and this captain is also their man."
"It seems that the construction period will be delayed, and our time will be pushed back." Zhang Liunian could see that with these people around, the construction site definitely couldn't start, so he hoped Fang Yan would be accommodating with the time.
However, Fang Yan replied with a displeased expression, "Eight months is already the longest I can give. The factory employees are all eagerly waiting to move into new houses. This time cannot be delayed."
"..." Damn it, eight months for ten thousand households was already a tight schedule, and now they wouldn't be accommodating. This was putting all the pressure on him.
Fortunately, he had secured a right for himself in the contract. "Our contract states that if there are uncontrollable circumstances, the construction period can be extended."
"But this is not uncontrollable, it's man-made, as we all know, right? If you deal with the Tang family, there won't be any delay." Fang Yan had signed a letter of guarantee with the factory, otherwise, the money wouldn't have been collected so quickly, and there could be no delay.
Zhang Liunian didn't know her calculations, but he was quite annoyed by her shameless words. "Then you go and prove that it's man-made!"
"..." Now it was Fang Yan's turn to be speechless. Why did she sign the contract with Zhang Liunian? Wasn't it to draw the Tang family's attention to Zhang Liunian? If she had known it would be like this, they wouldn't have come to watch the commencement ceremony.
"Comrade Zhang, it's not that our factory director wants to make things difficult for you, but our factory director made a guarantee to all employees to deliver new houses to them after eight months in order to hand over this project to you. Do you understand?" Fang Yan's assistant, who had heard the whole story from behind them, suddenly stepped forward to speak on Fang Yan's behalf.
