Free Web NovelChapter 241: Chapter 241 Too Idle
Wang Hao’s eyes widened upon hearing their words, making the two men shiver and swallowing back the curse they were about to hurl at him.
They had heard a thing or two about Wang Hao’s underground influence in Chicheng County, so they still harbored some fear.
"Wang Hao, just you wait, you’ll regret not cooperating with us!"
After saying that, the two men stormed out in a huff.
Right before Shen Zhigang left Wang Hao’s office, he looked back and pointed a finger at Wang Hao, a cold smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, seemingly very confident about taking Wang Hao down.
Seeing that cold smile, Wang Hao felt an ominous premonition, as if something was definitely going to happen.
The two men had come full of confidence, but were frustrated by their encounter with Wang Hao.
"Hmph, I said we should have just sent them off, it’s so infuriating! They only think about reaping the benefits without any effort, as if there were such good things in this world!"
Xia Xue walked into the office and grumbled with a pout.
Wang Hao, however, did not speak, because although these people hadn’t done anything except reap the benefits, they also made investments. Using their own money to invest and make a profit wasn’t a crime.
It was their act of ruthlessly discarding Chen Hongying after profiting from her and seeing her as lacking value that Wang Hao could not accept.
Over the years, Chen Hongying had made a lot of money for them, giving them the boldness to approach Wang Hao.
But even after Chen Hongying had made them a fortune, they behaved like this, which even a bystander would find disheartening, not to mention how Chen Hongying would feel if she knew. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Moreover, Chen Hongying’s failure stemmed from organizing this trading event, which didn’t even cost them much money.
They wanted to use this as an excuse to kick Chen Hongying to the curb because after the event, they saw the potential in Wang Hao and believed that cooperating with him would be more profitable than what Chen Hongying had earned for them.
"These ungrateful people are indeed up to no good, but..."
Recalling Shen Zhigang’s departing look, Wang Hao suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
"But what?"
Xia Xue asked, puzzled.
"If what Shen Zhigang said just now is true, and more than ten companies band together against me, it would indeed pose a serious problem for me right now."
Wang Hao felt he needed to anticipate and prepare for this situation in advance.
"So what do we do now? Should we really agree to cooperate with them and become their money-making tool?"
Xia Xue asked worriedly.
"Impossible, we absolutely cannot let them benefit without lifting a finger!"
Wang Hao scoffed coldly. He had never been used by others, let alone become someone else’s stepping stone, but he had to be cautious in case someone tried anything sneaky behind his back.
Huang Dingfeng had said he would come to find Wang Hao after school, and since Huang Dingfeng’s relationship with his mother had recently improved, Wang Hao decided to see if he could learn anything from him.
"You don’t have to worry about this, I have my ways to handle it!"
Wang Hao said with a smile.
"You just need to help me finalize these land lease agreements, and when you have some free time, look for greenhouse equipment for about one thousand mu of land. You’ll be busy for a while."
Xia Xue nodded. She had great trust in Wang Hao’s ability to handle matters.
No sooner had they discussed everything than Wang Hao’s phone rang.
"Hello, Uncle Wen, what made you think of me today? Is there something you need?"
The call was from Wen Yonglin.
"Wang Hao, I’ve transferred five hundred million to your bank account, make sure to check it. The sum of twenty-two billion is too large to transfer to you at once, so I’ll find a way to give you the rest in installments!"
Wen Yonglin explained.
"Uncle Wen, you’re being too polite. You still have your capital in there, why would you give me all of it..."
Wang Hao initially wanted to defer.
"When I say it’s fine, it is fine. You’ve helped the Wen family a great deal, and I don’t have much to repay you with. This money is what I promised you, so how could I take it back?"
Wen Yonglin was very resolute about the things he had promised to do.
Wang Hao couldn’t help but admire inwardly; an old man of his age still had such a broad mind.
Not only did he distinguish between gratitude and grudges, but he also believed in repaying kindness. No wonder he could achieve great things, starting from scratch to become one of the three great families of Zao City.
However, speaking of helping, Wang Hao actually had another favor to ask of Wen Yonglin.
"Uncle Wen, why don’t we do it this way? Don’t transfer the remaining money to me. I’m currently in need of equipment for a thousand mu of greenhouse land. Do you think you could use your resources to help me find a suitable equipment supplier?"
"Greenhouse equipment? A supplier? Just a thousand mu?"
Wang Hao was momentarily stunned by Wen Yonglin’s tone. He had only asked the question as a tentative inquiry, not expecting Wen Yonglin to sound so confident and even to say ’just a thousand mu’?
It seemed that to Wen Yonglin, this was just a trivial matter.
"Uh... yes, just a thousand mu for now!"
Wang Hao felt somewhat embarrassed by Wen Yonglin’s question.
"Alright, no problem, I’ll take care of it!"
Wen Yonglin agreed very readily.
"Then I’ll thank you in advance, Uncle Wen. I appreciate your efforts."
Wang Hao replied with a smile.
"No problem! You don’t have to be polite with me!"
Wen Yonglin also smiled. Suddenly, he thought of the animal hide, so he reminded Wang Hao,
"By the way, my friend who researches ancient texts isn’t in Zao City right now and might not be back for a few days, so..."
"It’s alright, Uncle Wen. Just arrange it when you can. I just want to know the content; I’m not in a hurry!"
Wang Hao smiled and reassured Wen Yonglin.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.
"So the equipment issue is settled just like that?"
Xia Xue, standing by, had heard most of the phone conversation, but she couldn’t help asking Wang Hao out of curiosity.
After all, equipment for thousands of mu of land was not a small figure, and Xia Xue was worried about where to find such a large supply.
To her surprise, Wang Hao had managed to settle it with a phone call right after assigning her the task – she felt like she was being made a fool of and was absolutely furious.
"The equipment is more or less sorted, but you’ll still have to work hard to rent the land, my dear!"
Wang Hao said consolingly, then wrapped his arms around Xia Xue’s slender waist.
"Be serious, there’s not much to do at the company right now, and I’m really bored being here every day!"
Xia Xue pulled away Wang Hao’s wandering hands and complained.
"Fine, I’ll find you something to do right now!"
Then he pulled Xia Xue into his arms and kissed her deeply.
"You’re always up to no good. This is the office, and just now you were almost caught by Xiao He. Can we talk about our stuff at home, please?"
Xia Xue gave Wang Hao a reproachful look.
Immediately after, Xia Xue broke free from Wang Hao’s embrace, and Wang Hao let her go reluctantly.
In fact, Wang Hao was well aware that Xia Xue was still young, in the prime of her youth for striving, and it was not good to always waste time, but the company really didn’t have anything for her to do at the moment. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
So Wang Hao took the opportunity to come to Huang Dingfeng’s school under the pretext of finding something for Xia Xue to do. Just as he arrived at the entrance, the school was letting out.
At that moment, the principal’s son was unaware that his father had been arrested by the police and stopped Huang Dingfeng at the school gate once more.
"Huang Dingfeng, stop right there for me!"
