Chapter 98: The Land in Dongshan City
Without waiting for Zhuang Hong to react, she rushed into the bathroom in a huff. Zhuang Hong rubbed the space between his eyebrows helplessly. This little girl was not easy to comfort!
Early the next morning, snow covered all of Lin City. The white scenery made one’s heart feel a little brighter. It happened to be a holiday. When Cen Shuang woke up early in the morning, she was pulled into the bedroom by Zhuang Xinyan. Only Zhuang Hong and the two dogs were in the room. The two small dogs quietly nestled beside his legs. In just a short month, these two dogs had changed immensely. They looked so different compared to when Cen Shuang first found them. Their fur also became more shiny and thick. They were like two little soft toys propped up against Zhuang Hong’s legs.
Boyan came over to check on them. He glanced at the gloomy Zhuang Hong and could not help but tease, “You’re becoming more and more expressive recently. You don’t even hide your anger anymore. Why is that? You look like you’re trapped by love.”
Boyan looked at Zhuang Hong who was looking back coldly. He could not help but ask, “Where’s Cen Shuang? Isn’t she always by your side? Why did she leave you alone today? Did you have a fight?”
Boyan looked as if he had seen through him. Zhuang Hong pursed his lips. “She complained that I kissed another woman and refused to sleep with me.”
Boyan could not help but laugh unkindly. “So you’re forced to separate? You must be miserable. We’re mature men in our thirties. Can’t you handle a twenty-year-old girl like Cen Shuang?”
Zhuang Hong could not help but frown. “She’s young. Why should I care about her?”
Boyan smiled and said, “She’s young. If you don’t care about her, you can keep making that face. However, are you waiting for her to come back to you on her own?”
Zhuang Hong nodded. “She’s sleeping in another room. She’s not used to it. She won’t stay there for long.”
Boyan could not help but give him a thumbs up. He had been unconscious for a while, but managed to develop stellar observation skills. “But your leg is almost healed. Do you want to tell Cen Shuang? I see that she’s very concerned about you. If you keep this act up, she might get overly anxious. What if she finds out that you lied to her? Won’t she get angry?”
Zhuang Hong’s gaze was deep as he said coldly, “There’s no need. Zhuang Yiliang and his son will believe it. How’s the Zhuang Corporation’s situation over the past two days?”
When the subject became serious again, Boyan’s expression became more severe. He adjusted his glasses and said, “It’s not too good. During the six months that you were unconscious, the second son and his father took over half of the Zhuang Corporation’s projects. They even secretly switched many suppliers and partners. Now, they have taken out more than half of the funds. If you return to the company now, it will be very difficult for you to make a comeback. You might even anger the father and son and make them desperate.”
The old master was old after all. His methods and senses were no longer adequate. When Zhuang Hong had fallen into a coma, the entire Zhuang Corporation fell into turmoil. Although the old master had stepped in to support him, he still could not keep all the shareholders happy. The individual shareholders began to have doubts, and Zhuang Hong’s chances of waking up were not high. As a result, more people sold the shares of the Zhuang Corporation, and some became direct supporters of Zhuang Tinghao. After all, from the Zhuang family’s point of view at that time, Zhuang Tinghao had already become the only successor. Half a year’s time was enough for some people to swallow more than half of an enterprise.
Zhuang Hong’s eyes gradually darkened. His sudden awakening had already made others more vigilant. It was indeed not a good time to return to the Zhuang Corporation.
Boyan raised his eyebrows and said, “But I discovered that this father and son pair seem to be very interested in a piece of land.”
Zhuang Hong said, “The piece of land in Dongshan City?”
Before he fell into a coma, he had paid attention to it. That piece of land was very large in size and its location was good, but it was very difficult to develop it. It required a large amount of capital investment, and it was not something that an ordinary person could bear. Although he could get it, the Zhuang Hong from half a year ago would have found the later stage construction funds to be difficult to bear.
Boyan nodded. “It’s that piece of land. Why would the second son and father like that piece of land?”
Zhuang Hong could predict all of Boyan’s questions. The corners of his lips curled up into a cold smile. “Because an international airport will be built there within six years. By then, that piece of land will be able to double the profits.”
Boyan was stunned. “No wonder that father and son pair think so highly of it. Should we also pay attention to it?”
If this father and son pair were to get their hands on it, it would probably be even harder for the Zhuang family to get all of it back.
Zhuang Hong said in a deep voice, “You just need to observe how this piece of land will be auctioned off. You don’t need to worry about anything else. It’s best to create some momentum and say that I’m very optimistic about this piece of land.”
From the looks of it, he could choose a good day and return to the company early.
Boyan asked curiously, “You also want to buy this piece of land?”
Wouldn’t this be helping the two idiots from the second branch?
Zhuang Hong sneered. “That land is connected to Dongcheng Mountain, but the usable area is not big. Dongcheng Mountain is a government-level environmentally protected area, so the entire mountain cannot be moved.”
