Chen Jiayuan replied, "See me? Is he someone he can see just by wanting to?"
However, considering he still had ninety million yuan in his hand, he decided to meet him after all.
He wanted to see if Zhang Liunian would proactively admit his mistakes tomorrow, or if he would beg for mercy and ask to be spared.
Tomorrow would be quite a show.
"It's up to you whether you see him or not. Anyway, I have only one thing to say: you can't let Zhang Liunian have an easy time. He hit me, so you have to avenge me. Otherwise, I'll tell my dad when I get back that you tricked me into being bullied."
"..."
Who said Little Punch King had no brains? Look at what he said, the threats came so easily. The key was that he couldn't refuse, or he might really incur the wrath of Punch King.
But Chen Jiayuan didn't take these petty tricks seriously.
"Don't worry, Little Punch King. Zhang Liunian and I are already mortal enemies. Even without you, I wouldn't let him off the hook.
However, he has tens of millions, which is exactly what I need. Once I get my hands on this money, I will definitely have him killed. He won't live another day."
Chen Jiayuan's words touched Little Punch King. He simply didn't want to see Zhang Liunian living well, because Zhang Liunian's existence was the greatest insult to him.
After all, Zhang Liunian had stepped on his chest with his foul foot, which was his lifelong shame.
"Well said. If you take care of Zhang Liunian, I'll tell my dad about your contributions when I get back, and it will definitely make things more convenient for you in Hong Kong." Little Punch King knew he had to offer some incentive, but unfortunately, he didn't know that Chen Jiayuan was a master of using others to kill.
He only said this to reassure him; doing it himself was absolutely impossible.
Therefore, he planned to feign compliance, but only send someone to make a perfunctory effort, and then claim Zhang Liunian was too formidable. Little Punch King would surely lose patience and act himself, and he only needed to wait a few more days.
He was good at this sort of thing.
It was impossible for Little Punch King to have Zhang Liunian dealt with by him.
They both had their own agendas, but their shared desire to see Zhang Liunian suffer was real.
Zhang Liunian was unaware of their machinations and had already gone to rest.
The next day, in the morning, after breakfast, Zhang Liunian, along with Zhang Qian and others, leisurely appeared at the Pengcheng Hotel.
After two hours, they had not seen Chen Jiayuan and his group, but instead saw Zhang Ya and Comrade Sun.
"Hello, Comrade Sun," Zhang Liunian said, stepping forward to greet Comrade Sun.
Zhang Liunian had agreed to help them with their task, as told by Zhang Ya the previous night. Comrade Sun now had a smile for Zhang Liunian.
"Hello, Comrade Zhang Liunian."
After shaking hands, they walked inside.
There weren't many people in the hotel at this time, so Zhang Liunian chose private room number one for their discussion.
Comrade Sun followed him in, sat down, and then showed Zhang Liunian the mining rights for a coal mine, saying, "As I said before, you will only receive it after the task is completed."
Zhang Liunian smiled, thinking that a second-in-command like him wouldn't stand him up. "I'll follow Comrade Sun's arrangements."
"You've been waiting here for a long time, haven't you? Will Chen Jiayuan show up?" Comrade Sun was somewhat pleased to see Zhang Liunian being so cooperative. He didn't take the unpleasant parting last time to heart, as anyone would be worried and afraid upon hearing such news and would initially refuse.
"He will definitely show up, just not too early. After all, he really wants the ninety million I have." Zhang Liunian was very confident that Chen Jiayuan would appear, as he could see that Chen Jiayuan was very eager for the money he held.
He wouldn't dare not come when invited for the first time.
Seeing his certainty, Comrade Sun changed the subject and began discussing the development of Pengcheng with Zhang Liunian.
"As a development zone, we should have developed the fastest due to our proximity to Hong Kong. However, recently, the progress has been repeatedly delayed due to the conflict between the two business circles. If this struggle cannot be resolved, the progress will only slow down further." Comrade Sun was the person in charge of construction and was greatly troubled by these issues.
If Zhang Liunian could help them resolve the dispute between the two business circles, he would gladly give him not just one coal mine mining right, but two. After all, it was going to be given to someone anyway, and he was much happier to give it to Zhang Liunian, who was helping him.
"Haven't you negotiated these matters with them?" Zhang Liunian had a question: why didn't Comrade Sun and the others directly negotiate with the two business circles, but instead sought the intervention of an outsider?
Could it be that Comrade Sun's efforts were also unsuccessful?
That shouldn't be the case. He could understand the Hong Kong businessmen, but the domestic businessmen should be the same.
Hearing this, Comrade Sun's expression immediately turned grim. Zhang Ya, seeing this, quickly and awkwardly interjected, "Who says we haven't negotiated? It's precisely because our negotiations failed that we resorted to this last resort. Otherwise, why would we go to such lengths?"
Zhang Liunian suddenly understood. So it was truly because the people in the business circles were too arrogant. But that shouldn't be the case!
"It shouldn't be. I can understand the arrogance of the Hong Kong businessmen, but the domestic businessmen are mostly local. Shouldn't they give Comrade Sun some face?
This concerns their future prospects. No matter what conflict they have with the Hong Kong businessmen, it shouldn't affect the development of our Pengcheng.
Only when Pengcheng prospers can they prosper too!"
Zhang Liunian voiced his doubts.
Upon hearing this, Comrade Sun looked at Zhang Liunian seriously for the first time. Seeing that his expression was genuine and that he truly believed Pengcheng's prosperity would lead to their own better development, he suddenly felt a sense of regret, as if they had met too late.
If Pengcheng's businessmen had the same awareness as Zhang Liunian, he believed Pengcheng could surely develop better and better.
Unfortunately, there were too few businessmen with such a broad perspective.
At least the old folks in the Chamber of Commerce were not like this.
"The domestic businessmen are all stubborn old fellows, solely focused on fighting with the Hong Kong businessmen, and no one thinks about the bigger picture.
If they had your mindset, Pengcheng's construction wouldn't have been delayed so much."
Comrade Sun sighed with regret and even slammed his hand on the table.
"It's rare for you to have such thoughts at such a young age. Unfortunately, there are too few people with such awareness. They only think of fishing by draining the pond and don't consider future development at all."
Zhang Ya was also annoyed by this matter. He was one of the local representatives and loved his hometown more than anyone. It was hard enough that the higher-ups wanted to build up their small fishing village, but some people kept dragging their feet.
Take these two business circles, for example. One was more short-sighted than the other.
However, what made him even angrier were the domestic businessmen. The Hong Kong businessmen disregarded everything because they were not natives, and this was not their hometown, so they could resort to any means.
