66: Chapter 66 The Stubborn Residents

Ever since his father bought that plot of land, the few nail households households on it had become a thorn in their side.

If those nail householdss didn't move, they couldn't start construction, and if they couldn't start construction, they couldn't make money.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought about throwing money at the problem to make these nail householdss leave.

The key was that it was useless...

Those nail householdss said they didn't lack money; they simply didn't want to move.

With no other choice, they had to resort to some heavy-handed tactics.

Unexpectedly, even the heavy-handed tactics were useless against those nail householdss.

If he hadn't been set up by his brother, he never would have accepted this hot potato.

"Why do you care why I'm so certain?"

"Anyway, as long as you sign the contract and I finish the job, you have to do things for me."

After listening, Bi Ming directly signed his name on the contract.

Since Shen Yan had put it that way, any more hesitation would make him look like a sissy.

After signing the contract, Shen Yan tucked it into his pocket.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going. Wait for my good news."

Before he left, Bi Ming called out to him.

"I'll give you half a month. If you can't resolve this within half a month, this contract will be automatically voided."

Shen Yan turned his head confidently and said:

"Half a month isn't necessary; a week is enough. No, maybe even less than a week."

This guy was too arrogant.

Bi Ming thought to himself while saying to Shen Yan, "Fine, if you really can get this settled for me within a week, then you won't have to pay for the invitation, and you can come and go as you please in the future!"

After making an 'OK' gesture, Shen Yan walked straight out of the private booth.

...

Knock knock knock!

Knock knock knock!

"Who is it? Who is it?!"

Chen Guangke shouted while opening the door.

"Old Shen?!"

"What are you doing? It's so late and you're not going home, why come to my place?"

Shen Yan lowered his head and slipped directly into Chen Guangke's home.

"There's no one at home anyway, so I'll stay at your place for a bit."

Chen Guangke closed the door behind him, walked into the living room, and poured a glass of water for Shen Yan.

"Why do you still smell of alcohol? What's up? Feeling bad because the company is under investigation?"

"Then why didn't you ask me out for a drink?"

Shen Yan looked around the living room and saw a laptop that hadn't been closed yet.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Guangke jogged over and snapped the laptop shut.

"Nothing, just watching a TV series."

Shen Yan didn't believe Chen Guangke and opened the laptop again.

On the screen was the software they had been developing just two days ago.

He opened his mouth and looked at Chen Guangke.

Chen Guangke scratched his head, sat on the sofa in the living room, and said, "Well, I'm idle anyway, so I'll do as much as I can. Who knows when this investigation will end..."

Shen Yan looked at Chen Guangke with an unreadable expression.

Despite Chen Guangke's usual bluster, he actually cared about the company more than anyone.

Fearing the company wouldn't be able to launch the software on time because of the investigation, he was secretly working on it himself.

It was an honor to have such a partner to fight alongside him.

"Alright, stop working on the software for now and help me with something."

Chen Guangke closed the laptop.

"What do you need help with?"

Shen Yan told Chen Guangke the whole story about the resort.

After Chen Guangke listened in a daze, he asked a question in a daze.

"Wait, you mean you went to Bi Ming and asked him to help resolve the company's investigation."

"And before he helps you, you have to help him resolve the nail households issue first."

Shen Yan clapped.

"Exactly, that's what I mean. You understand."

Chen Guangke rolled his eyes, thinking Shen Yan had been driven to desperation.

"I say, are you crazy? Their industry and ours are worlds apart!"

"It's one thing to ask him for help, but you actually said you'd clear out those nail householdss in a week? Are you afraid you've been too idle lately and specifically want to find something to do for yourself?!"

Shen Yan closed his eyes and wiped the spittle off his face with his hand.

"Don't get so excited first. I have my reasons for doing this. Just tell me, will you help me with this or not?"

Chen Guangke took a deep breath.

Forget it, forget it.

This was the good brother and boss he chose; what else could he do?

He just had to accept it!

"Tell me then, how exactly do you want me to help?"

Shen Yan said excitedly, "It's simple. Lean in, and I'll tell you..."

...

The next day, Wang Family Village.

"This is the plot of land?"

"It should be here."

Shen Yan walked toward the village while holding a map.

Chen Guangke squinted and said to Shen Yan, "Are you sure your method will work?"

Shen Yan shrugged.

"We'll know once we try. If it doesn't work, we'll just find another way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man came into their view.

Seeing someone, both of them were very excited.

"Old man! Hello! We are..."

Before he could finish, the old man bolted like his feet were greased, disappearing in a flash.

"Whoa, was that really an old man just now? How did he run so fast? He was gone in an instant!"

Shen Yan laughed.

"He probably thought we were from the Bi Corporation..."

Chen Guangke shook his head and said, "Strictly speaking, we are indeed lobbyists sent by the Bi Corporation. What do we do now? Keep looking for people?"

Shen Yan replied without hesitation, "Of course we look. How can we convince them to move out if we don't find them?"

Just as they intended to keep walking forward, the old man from before returned.

"Old man..."

Before he could finish, they saw several tall and sturdy young men following behind the old man.

"Old Shen... we aren't going to meet our end here today, are we?"

Chen Guangke swallowed hard as he slowly backed away.

Shen Yan was about to say they wouldn't, but then he saw those young men were carrying tools.

"Three, two, one, run!"

As the last word fell, the two of them bolted far away as if being chased by ghosts.

Seeing them run, the young men immediately gave chase.

After fleeing for half an hour,

Shen Yan and Chen Guangke finally managed to shake off those young men.

"Huff... huff... you didn't tell me those nail householdss were so fierce before we came!"

Chen Guangke complained, out of breath.

Shen Yan also had his own grievances but couldn't express them.

How was he to know these nail householdss were so overbearing? They hadn't even heard them speak before picking up tools to beat them.

"Huff... no, I have to call Bi Ming and ask him what's going on..."

After saying that, Shen Yan called Bi Ming.

A few seconds later, the other party picked up.

"CEO Bi, why did those nail householdss pick up things to beat us the moment they saw us?"

"What on earth did you do to them?"

On the other end of the phone, CEO Bi laughed gloatingly.

"Hahaha! It seems you've fallen into their trap!"
