Chapter 317: Greed

Translator: Lonelytree

That’s right, why would the person in charge of demolition suddenly decide to sell the forklift?

Li Jianmin got in a car accident, but how was that related to selling the forklift? There had to be something else going on, something he didn’t know.

Liao Guohui immediately said anxiously to the secretary, “Quick, give me the phone number of the person in charge of demolition!”

The Secretary was stunned for a moment before saying, “Chairman Liao, I… I don’t have it.”

“Then, go and find it!” Liao Guohui shouted at her.

The secretary immediately replied, “Chairman Liao, don’t be anxious. I’ll go look for it right now.”

After the Secretary left, Liao Guohui slumped back into his chair. His heart was filled with regret and hatred. There was even a surge of anger!

The regret was that he had offended Yan Siming. If he had called back the demolition as Yan Siming asked him to, would these things have happened?

He knew that this was Yan Siming’s warning to him.

At the same time, it was also just a start.

What made him angry was that all of this was caused by a woman.

Yan Siming had toppled a large company for the sake of a woman. Now, he also wanted to topple his company for the sake of a woman. Liao Guohui had extreme hatred in his heart, but at this moment, there was nothing he could do but endure it.

As long as he could protect his company, he would abandon his dignity!

A moment later, the secretary found Hu Hansan’s phone number.

But when she entered the office, she saw the dazed chairman, She was confused.

‘What happened to the chairman? This is already the second time he had lost his composure.’

“Chairman, I’ve found the phone number of the person in charge of the demolition team!” Secretary Mi said as she handed the phone number to Liao Guohui.

However, she did not leave immediately.

She had followed Liao Guohui for many years and knew him very well. She knew that something serious must have happened to daze her chairman like this. Chairman Liao should be very happy because he had earned a new project, so why was he acting like this?

Liao Guohui was about to make a phone call when he noticed that his secretary was still standing there. He frowned and ordered coldly, “Get out! Don’t come in without my order!”

Secretary Mi frowned before replying. “Yes, Chairman!” She turned and left the room. However, she lingered at the door. She leaned her ear against the door.

After Liao Guohui received Hu Hansan’s phone number, he immediately gave him a call. “Hu Hansan, how dare you sell the company’s forklift?” Liao Guohui shouted angrily as soon as the call was picked up.

Hu Hansan did not know who was calling. The number was an unregistered number. However, after the call was answered, Hu Hansan was still a little afraid.

After all, this was his biggest boss. Normally, he didn’t even have the chance to talk to the big boss. His superior was Li Jianmin. Therefore, he had a natural fear of Liao Guohui.

He asked carefully, “Chairman? Liao Guohui?”

Liao Guohui said angrily, “Hu Hansan, you…” The other party hung up on him. Liao Guohui called again, and after some time, Hu Hansan finally answered.

Liao Guohui cursed, “Hu Hansan, you bastard! When I catch you, I’ll skin you alive!”

Hu Hansan said fearlessly, “Chairman, you better look after your own skin first. I have no choice but to sell the forklift. After all, once your company goes bankrupt, I won’t get my salary.”

“Hu Hansan, you bastard, what nonsense are you talking about?” Liao Guohui shouted angrily, “Why would my company go bankrupt? Don’t you dare curse me!”

However, the other party had already hung up the phone. Liao Guohui’s face turned green and purple.

Immediately after, he slammed the phone and collapsed onto his chair. He was in really big trouble. Even a small fry like Hu Hansan had received the news of his death knell.

It seemed that he was really in big trouble. Even Hu Hansan, who was far away, had gotten the news. It was why Hu Hansan decided to strike first and gain some benefits.

However, Liao Guohui couldn’t sit there and let death arrive.

But Yan Siming had always been a man of his words. The directors of his company could never dissuade him.

Even though Yan Siming was as beautiful as a woman and always had a smile on his face, he was cold and ruthless. When he hardened his heart, his victims would tremble in fear. Therefore, Liao Guohui knew it was pointless to approach the directors of Yan Group.

He frowned and fell into deep thought.

Secretary Mi, who was eavesdropping outside, heard everything, She was shocked when she found out the company was about to go bankrupt. She was so shocked that she almost cried out. Fortunately, she covered her mouth and did not shout out loud. She thought for a moment and quietly left.

Secretary Mi gently patted her chest and said, “Looks like it’s time to find a new job.” If the company went bankrupt, she would become unemployed. There was a big difference between job hopping and job begging.

She could say she was looking for a better job prospect while she still worked with Liao Guohui, but after the company fell, she would be begging others for a job.

After thinking this through, Secretary Mi quickly filed a resignation report.

Liao Guohui didn’t know what his subordinate was doing, After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“That’s right. The Yan Group is family-owned. The Yan Family should be able to stop Yan Siming! Therefore, I have to think of a way to build a relationship with the Yan Family as soon as possible!

Liao Guohui immediately started to call people.

After the village chief came to the Xiao family, he saw a scene that he was very used to.

Young Master Gong was peeling an apple for Xiao Lingyu.

However, when the village chief was reminded of Gong Tianhao’s identity, his lips couldn’t help but twitch.

‘When he saw Xiao Lingyu lying on the chair like a cat, squinting her eyes and enjoying Gong Tianhao’s service, the corner of his mouth twitched again.

‘Xiao Lingyu, this girl, is really lucky to have a man who does not despise her and still loves her so much.’

The village chief knew very well that Gong Tianhao had come forward to help them was because of Xiao Lingyu.

He was doing it to protect Xiao Lingyu and the Xiao family.

Mother Xiao and Father Xiao were at home because Xiao Lingyu told them to stay at home. It wasn’t that they didn’t side with the villagers but because Gong Tianhao said he would deal with everything.

Wen Zi and Yuan Min were under orders to protect Xiao Lingyu’s safety, but now that Gong Tianhao was there, their services were temporarily not needed. They had gone to walk around the village.

“The village chief is here!” Seeing the village chief, Father Xiao immediately greeted him and prepared a cup of tea for him.

The village chief sat down at the stone table, picked up the cup, and poured the tea into his mouth.

After rushing all morning, he was really thirsty.

Father Xiao quickly prepared another cup. The village chief finished three cups easily.

After the village chief finished drinking his tea, he thought of what had happened at the village entrance.

Then, the village chief said gratefully, “Young Master Gong, thank you so much for what happened just now.”

If Gong Tianhao wasn’t here today, no one could imagine what the consequences would be.

Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “Village chief, you’re too polite. I’m also living in Taoyuan Village now. I can’t let them demolish my house. I’m just protecting my house.”

That was what he said, but clearly, the village chief didn’t believe him. Gong Tianhao was rich enough to rebuild his house easily. Furthermore, he had other real estates outside of Taoyuan Village.

The village chief shook his head and said, “That being said, I still have to thank you. On behalf of the entire village, I have to thank you!”

Gong Tianhao smiled.

The village chief suddenly thought of something and asked, “Young Master Gong, Xiao Yue said you were looking for me?”

Gong Tianhao nodded slightly and said, “Village chief, today’s matter has only been temporarily resolved.”

The village chief was stunned and said in confusion, “Temporarily resolved? Young Master Gong, what do you mean by that?”

As he said this, the village chief couldn’t help but look at Xiao Lingyu. At this moment, she was eating an apple.

Gong Tianhao said faintly, “Greed is the source of all sin. The demolition team was scared away by my cars. I reckon their boss will start to investigate my identity. But they won’t find it out so easily. No one can investigate me unless I want them to..”
