The Beauties Help Me Become the No.1 Official-Chapter 1206

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206
The box on the third floor of the county hotel.
"Doesn’t this kid know how to appreciate kindness? If you hadn’t stopped me today, I would have thoroughly humiliated him on the spot!"
A man in his forties, Li Fengrun, shouted angrily with his hands on his hips.
Li Fengnian sat in the boss chair, his face stern, not responding.
In his mind was the last sentence left by the guru.
What exactly does Lin Yifan have, and why doesn’t even the Feng Shui Master dare to speak?
Looking at his elder brother’s demeanor, Li Fengrun became even more agitated.
"Brother, we can’t just let this slide. Our elder sister entrusted Shiyao to us. If she gets deceived by a country bumpkin from a village, we won’t be able to account to her. If you don’t do something about it, I will."
"What are you planning to do?"
Li Fengnian looked up at his third brother.
"What will I do? Of course, I’ll force him to go as far away as possible, the further from Shiyao the better. Otherwise, I’ll break his legs. Does he even realize what he is? Seriously, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat."
Li Fengrun, unlike his brother, was not as sophisticated; he slapped the table with his fiery temper.
Hearing this remark, Li Fengnian shook his head.
"You’re over forty, and still with that temper? Do you think issues like this can be solved through violence? Don’t you know Shiyao’s temper? If you provoke her, she can do anything, and then you’ll have more explaining to do."
"Then we just let her go back, cut off all contact completely, let’s see if they can spread their wings and fly!"
"Do you really think our sister let her go to that lousy village for no reason? There are things here beyond our imagination. Perhaps there are unspeakable secrets from our extraordinarily capable brother-in-law that are beyond our understanding."
Li Fengnian stood up, gazing at the distant mountains.
Living comfortably as a wealthy heiress yet choosing to go to such a miserable place to teach.
Only Shen Shiyao believed it was her father’s compromise.
"You just don’t worry about it. Shiyao cannot be allowed to be a flower stuck in dung. I’m going to handle this. Watch me tonight; even if I can’t confront him directly, I’ll still make that kid go back obediently. I refuse to believe I can’t deal with a mere villager."
Li Fengrun couldn’t accept it.
He wanted to see how many tricks Lin Yifan had up his sleeve.
Li Fengnian just shook his head, not replying, and walked to the bedroom on the side.
He had many things he couldn’t comprehend and could only wait to see how things unfolded.
Seeing Li Fengnian like this, he walked out with a grim face.
But just as he reached the doorway, his tall female secretary came over, holding documents.
"Mr. Li, several contractors are waiting downstairs all day wanting to discuss the sub-contracting matters regarding the tunnel project in Red Earth Town. I wonder when you might be available to meet them?"
Li Fengnian rolled his eyes, responding coldly.
"A few contractors even dare to come to me for projects? Have their brains gone cracked? Tell them to leave."
"Yes!"
The secretary naturally couldn’t argue, agreed, and turned to go downstairs.
Li Fengrun, hands clasped behind his back, also began to step downwards.
Just as he reached the second floor, someone came out of the side corridor.
Seeing Li Fengrun, the man hurriedly approached.
"Mr. Li, I’ve been waiting here for you all day. Didn’t you tell me last time there’s a tunnel project in Red Earth Town?"
Lin Xizhu quickly wiped his hands on himself, warmly extending a hand.
But Li Fengrun did not respond, merely sizing up this guy in camouflage clothing.
He vaguely felt like he had seen him somewhere before.
"Your name is..."
"My name is Lin Xizhu. Didn’t we drink together a few days ago? You even chatted with me, saying I should follow you in the future. So, I brought a few people here. When would be convenient to discuss the specific project?"
Feeling awkward, Lin Xizhu retracted his hand, took a pack of Zhonghua from his bag, and offered a cigarette to Li Fengrun.
Li Fengrun did not take the cigarette, frowning slightly as he thought for a moment.
"We are a large firm and must adhere to procedures and processes. How about this: first, explain your matters to my secretary in writing. I’ll look over it when I have time. Okay, I’m busy with other things now; we’ll schedule a call next time."
Before Lin Xizhu could say more, he turned and went upstairs.
Standing at the stairwell, Lin Xizhu, who was left out in the cold, was dumbfounded.
The few brothers who followed him out of the meeting room also hurriedly gathered.
"Xizhu, what did Mr. Li say? When can we start?"
"Xizhu is amazing, getting such a big project right away. Our money was well spent."
"That’s why they say Xizhu is capable; we can’t even find the temple door to burn incense."
Seeing his brothers so joyous, Xizhu felt as though something was stuck in his throat.
He could only force a smile and laugh it off.
"Alright, you all go back first. I’ll have some more discussions with Mr. Li about the specifics and tell you when I return."
After sending the brothers off, Xizhu went to the restroom to wash his face.
Then he turned and left the hotel, crestfallen.
"Xizhu, what are you doing here?"
Weighed down by his thoughts, he didn’t look up but was stopped by Lin Yifan approaching.
Unexpectedly, an early morning errand ended up here.
"Are you heading back to the village? Need a ride?"
Seeing Shen Shiyao holding onto Lin Yifan’s arm, Xizhu could only squeeze out a smile.
But his micro-expressions did not escape Lin Yifan’s eyes.
"What’s wrong? Why so unhappy, did something happen?"
"Ah, don’t mention it. I was played for a fool; it’s like paying for a lesson."
Xizhu sighed, offering a Zhonghua to Lin Yifan.
"What happened, tell me. Who’s taking advantage? We won’t let it slide; let’s confront him."
Lin Yifan pulled Xizhu aside, curiously asking.
"Don’t mention it. About half a month ago, I met a boss. At the dinner table, he told me he was in charge of the tunnel in Red Earth Town with plenty of work on hand. I was so glad and spent several days at the county and town dining and drinking with him, costing tens of thousands."
Talking about it, Xizhu felt a bellyful of grievances.
"Today I brought a few brothers to discuss the project, but he laughed it off. Blame it on my inexperience; I hadn’t even realized I was being taken for a ride, so I can’t blame others."
"Who is so heartless? Isn’t that just scamming? We should him, he could be a fraud."
Shen Shiyao said indignantly.
"I did some digging; he is Boss Li’s younger brother, but without any written proof, I can only swallow this loss."
Lin Xizhu shook his head.
Hearing this, Shen Shiyao and Lin Yifan exchanged a glance.
The boss named Li in the county was exactly her uncle.
"You wouldn’t be talking about Li Fengrun, would you?"
"Yes, that’s him!"
