Chapter 614 - 614 Domineering

614 Domineering

“You can’t say that. Everyone knows what’s going on. Maybe there’s a traffic jam? Or was there something urgent? No one can say for sure.” Seeing that the white-robed man was trying to create a conflict, someone immediately spoke up.

Zhang Rong’s expression remained unchanged.

There was a faint smile on his face, just like when he had been chatting with Huang Fang at the pier. Before Huang Fang completely lost all hope, he did not know what Zhang Rong was thinking.

“Let’s wait a little longer. It’s already a great honor to have you here today. I, Zhang Rong, am from a grassroots background and am not very cultured. I don’t consider problems very comprehensively. When everyone is here in a while, I hope you will all actively correct me.” Zhang Rong, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly bowed slightly to the crowd before him and spoke softly.

“You’re too modest.”

“Your speed of development over the past two years has really made us jealous. We have long been left behind by you.”

“By saying this, you’re making me feel a little uncomfortable.”

The white-robed man did not speak.

He glanced at Zhang Rong and frowned.

He knew what kind of person Zhang Rong was. He was ruthless and cold-blooded. How could such a person truly accept the opinions of others open-mindedly? Moreover, he and Zhang Rong had known each other for a long time. Although they could presently sit in a room and chat happily, in fact, they were all competitors. They could not wait for each other to die so that they could monopolize the market.

“What kind of bad idea is this freak trying to come up with?” The bald man was alarmed, but just as someone had said, Zhang Rong had become more and more low-key over the past two years, but at the same time, he could not see this person clearly.

If he could barely be considered an opponent in the past, now, he did not feel inferior.

There was nothing he could do. The forces backing Zhang Rong were too powerful. He was not a match for him at all.

Therefore, he had deliberately come late that day. The excuse of picking up his son was naturally made up to see Zhang Rong’s reaction.

Now, it seemed that Zhang Rong was indeed abnormal.

Another half an hour passed.

Finally, someone hurried over. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright, one more person is missing. I think CEO Song won’t be coming today. In that case, we won’t wait any longer. Everyone’s time is precious, and it’s getting late. Does anyone have any objections?” Zhang Rong finally spoke.

The teacups in front of everyone had already been filled a few times. Clearly, they were also impatient after all the waiting.

“No objections.”

“It should have started long ago.”

“We’re also very curious about the higher-ups’ intentions for the development of Pingjing District.”

Zhang Rong didn’t pay attention to the whispers of the crowd and said calmly, “Before the discussion, please turn off your phones or other electronic devices and hand them over. I’ll safeguard them for you for a while.”

This was mandatory. The contents of their discussion involved too many people and things. Once it was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As soon as Zhang Rong said this, two aloof bodyguards suddenly entered the house. They were holding a black leather bag. The seven people inside, including Zhang Rong, handed over their phones.

After confirming that there were no electronic devices in the room, Zhang Rong unhurriedly said, “Greenland Group is about to start bidding for the project. As everyone knows, Greenland Group has a development area in both M City and N City.”

Real estate was a legal and profitable industry. This was the consensus of the seven people sitting in silence in the room.

To develop and build a commercial housing district, the government needed to grant the developer authority. This usually required many developers to compete for the opportunity, but from Zhang Rong’s tone, it seemed that this single opportunity had already been internally decided.

That was the truth.

“To be honest, I have my eyes on this project. The higher-ups also hope that I can handle this well and benefit the people. While ensuring the quality of the houses, it can also stimulate the economic development of the nearby areas; it’s a good thing,” Zhang Rong said with a smile.

Inside the house, the seven of them had a common identity. They were all developers.

However, what Zhang Rong had meant earlier was already very obvious.

He wanted the entire cake to himself.
