45: Young people these days are really ruthless!

Hotel first floor.

A slightly thin middle-aged man was squatting by the flower bed in front of the hotel.

He would glance at his phone from time to time, then stand up and pace, his gaze anxiously watching the hotel entrance.

"Hey, Yan Li, why aren't you doing your renovation work? What are you doing loitering around the entrance of someone else's hotel?"

"Like a vagrant!"

At this moment, a familiar, slightly harsh voice entered his ears.

Yan Li turned to look at the person, his eyes narrowing.

Sure enough, it was his current arch-nemesis, He Yongliang!

Eight or nine years ago, this man was just a small foreman. Later, his daughter was kept by someone, and he gradually took on some projects through that connection, becoming somewhat well-known now.

Yan Li despised people who made their daughters sell themselves for money!

"Get lost, don't bother me!"

Yan Li spat, his voice cold.

Today, he received news that the individual major shareholder of the Cultural Industry Group had been parachuted in as the President!

Personally appointed by Director Wang!

And also serving as Chief Planner!

So, after learning that Li Cheng and the others were here to welcome the new President, he immediately rushed over, hoping to find some opportunity.

He Yongliang next to him was all smiles, not at all annoyed.

In his opinion, Yan Li's words were nothing more than the barking of a loser.

He didn't think Yan Li had any chance of turning things around now!

When his debts completely explode, it wouldn't be too late for him to kick him while he was down!

The reason he was here now was, of course, because he had also received the news.

However, he wasn't too worried!

So what if a President was parachuted in!

His daughter He Ting had now hooked up with Li Cheng, so she was basically sitting pretty!

Li Cheng was the Vice President specifically in charge of infrastructure projects in the industry, with deep qualifications!

Could this new President really replace him?

Impossible!

He came tonight also with the intention of solidifying his relationship with Li Cheng.

The two of them strolled around the hotel entrance for a few minutes, and soon saw a group of people walking out from inside.

"Li Cheng, Tang Qin..."

"Director He of the Culture and Tourism Bureau, Secretary Zhou..."

Yan Li's gaze swept over them. Besides not seeing Director Wang, almost all the mainperson in charge of the industrial park were present!

"So... that young man is the new President and Chief Planner of the Cultural Industry Group?!"

Under the bright lights at the hotel entrance, after seeing Chen Qiu's excessively young face, Yan Li was filled with shock.

"Who exactly is this young man?"

Yan Li stopped, pondering in his heart.

He had originally thought that since he was a prominent figure in the Gannan engineering industry ten years ago, perhaps this new President was an old acquaintance he had worked with before!

But seeing Chen Qiu's young and unfamiliar face, he was a bit confused.

"Director Wang is actually willing to risk such an important project on a young man?"

Either this is the son of some Heavenly Dragon noble, or an extraordinarily talented genius!

However, no matter which it was, it wasn't bad news for Yan Li.

At least, the stagnant water from before finally showed hope of movement!

Watching the young man get into an Audi car amidst everyone's farewells, Yan Li finally retracted his gaze.

"I'll have to make some inquiries when I get back..."

He couldn't get through to Li Cheng, so he could only start with this young President.

Yan Li, deep in thought, left the hotel, making calls to gather information, and soon returned to his company.

"Wife..."

As soon as he entered the door, he was glared at by his wife, Tao Xia!

"What are you shouting for? Weiwei is still working!"

Yan Li glanced at his daughter, still sitting in front of the computer in her office, and immediately shut his mouth.

"How is it? Any progress?"

"Do you know the new President over there?"

After sitting down, Tao Xia asked impatiently.

"No, I don't!"

Yan Li shook his head.

"He looks like a young man in his twenties!"

"A young man in his twenties?"

"You didn't mistake him, did you?!"

Tao Xia exclaimed in surprise, somewhat disbelieving.

Yan Baiwei, sitting in her own office, slightly raised her beautiful eyes and glanced in their direction.

"How could I be mistaken? I'm not blind!"

"And I just made multiple calls to confirm, the new President over there is indeed in his twenties!"

"He just took office today and already sent that Ma fellow in!"

Yan Li clicked his tongue in wonder.

This was also news he had just learned.

In this line of work, who doesn't have some dirt under their butt?

As long as the project's final outcome was acceptable, those above would turn a blind eye.

Someone as ruthless as this new President was rarely seen!

"These young people are really ruthless!"

Yan Li sighed with emotion.

Tao Xia, on the other hand, pouted.

"You think it's still a few years ago when everyone had money and didn't care if you took a little extra!"

"He's probably using that Ma fellow to make an example!"

Yan Li nodded.

"That's true!"

"But old Yan, have you found out any news about that young President?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Li immediately shook his head.

He had made many calls and asked many people. Although they all knew about such a big event, when asked about the person's background, everyone was completely clueless!

"Then this will be difficult to deal with!"

Tao Xia said wistfully.

"It's alright, it's still a bit better than before!"

Yan Li said with a forced smile.

In the office, Yan Baiwei, who could vaguely hear her parents talking, pursed her red lips.

These past two days, she had worked overtime to complete the design blueprints for Chen Qiu's large flat and villa!

Next, once the contract was signed, construction could officially begin!

After sending the final renderings of both houses to Chen Qiu, she stretched in her chair.

Her graceful curves, outlined by her fitted sweater, were extremely alluring!

"Chen Qiu... shouldn't need a second revision, right?"

Yan Baiwei's lips curved slightly.

From what she knew of Chen Qiu, he should really like the final effect.

Yan Baiwei stared at the computer, waiting for Chen Qiu's reply... On the other side.

He Yongliang also returned home after meeting Li Cheng.

However, his expression was not good.

"Ma Du was actually sent in!"

Hearing his words, He Ting, who was leaning on the sofa applying a face mask and watching a drama, was immediately startled.

She quickly sat upright.

"What about General Manager Li? What did he say?"

"He said he needs to lay low for now..."

He Ting's expression turned ugly upon hearing this.

"He took everything and now doesn't want to do anything?"

She was trembling with anger. What did all her efforts during this time count for?

He Yongliang waved his hand, telling her not to rush.

"Li Cheng also has his own concerns..."

"Continue to stay in touch with him during this time!"

He Ting snorted lightly, nodded, and leaned back on the sofa, listening to He Yongliang talk about the new President.

Young, rich, and with an incredible background... "If only I could directly hook up with that President..."

If she could marry a man like him, that would be truly marrying into a wealthy family, living a life of comfort and luxury forever!

He Ting indulged in beautiful fantasies of herself becoming a wealthy madam.

"Dad, do you think we can get in touch with that President?"
