Chapter 182 The Clash Begins, Jiangxin Bridge
Chapter 182 The Clash Begins, Jiangxin Bridge
Accompanied by Su Zijin, Xu Ye and Yang Ling quickly arrived at their destination.
Hongsheng Real Estate, Jiangxin Bridge Project Department.
It was almost 5 p.m. at this point.
Once the car came to a stop, Yang Ling was the first to get out.
Xu Ye followed closely behind and took the helmet she handed him.
After all, it was a project of Hongsheng Real Estate, and even though construction had stopped, Yang Ling still seemed very unsafe.
However, Xu Ye's mind was not on this. On his way here, he had Yang Ling take him around the Jiangxin Bridge project.
It was discovered that the Jiangxin Bridge is now divided into two parts. The main structure on the south bank is largely completed, while the north bank section is stalled.
It is quite obvious that there is a large area of illegal blue plastic steel sheds along the river.
He didn't know exactly what it was for, but it occupied a large area and directly blocked the construction work on the Jiangbei section.
Clearly, this is the holdout household.
But it doesn't look like a residential house at all; it looks more like a factory.
Xu Ye asked Yang Ling, who shook her head and said, "The factory itself is not the point. The point is that Hongsheng does not 'want' it to be demolished, so it cannot be demolished and will not be relocated."
Xu Ye understood, which meant that she hadn't even tried it.
But he didn't say anything, and this time he just followed her towards the Jiangxin Bridge project site.
The door was tightly shut. Xu Ye knocked on the door, but heard a dog barking instead.
Xu Ye raised an eyebrow. What kind of decent person keeps a dog at the project site?
Moreover, even through the gate, one could faintly hear shouts and curses coming from inside, like people playing drinking games or gambling.
But it's only five o'clock now.
Even if the Jiangxin Bridge project is just a front... isn't this a bit too blatant?
After waiting for a long time without anyone opening the door, Xu Ye knocked a few more times.
This time there was finally a response, but before the door was even opened, a chorus of curses and swearing came through first.
"Alright, one knock is enough. Stop going on and on. Are you trying to knock on your ancestral grave?"
As the cursing subsided, the iron gate creaked open.
A young man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, a roguish air about him, and wearing a loose-fitting security guard uniform walked out.
Perhaps he had drunk too much, for the man was about to swear a few more times when he suddenly saw the graceful Yang Ling.
The swear word that was about to come out was immediately swallowed back: "Oh? Beautiful lady? Who are you looking for?"
Yang Ling frowned, feeling uncomfortable under the other person's gaze, but still patiently asked in a low voice, "Is this the Jiangxin Bridge project site?"
The man nodded at first, then suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around with a lewd look and shouted, "A beautiful lady has arrived, which of you fucking ordered takeout secretly?"
Someone inside immediately laughed and cursed, "Who the hell orders takeout in broad daylight?"
Another person joked, "Are you so desperate for women that you're calling every takeout order that costs tens of dollars 'beautiful women'?"
The man exclaimed, "Get lost, she really is a beauty!"
After saying that, he opened the door completely, preparing to let Yang Ling in first.
It was only at this moment that he noticed there was a young man behind Yang Ling.
The security guard was taken aback: "Why are you with a man? And who are you?"
Yang Ling was furious. She took over the Beicheng Economic Zone project herself after the Yang family's incident, because the Beicheng Economic Zone project became her only hope after the Yang family's downfall.
For this reason, this was her first time visiting the Jiangxin Bridge project site.
To my utter surprise, not only is Hongsheng Real Estate disgusting, but its employees are also of such low quality. How can they be considered security guards?
Calling him a hooligan wouldn't be an exaggeration!
But since she was there to resolve a problem, even though she was extremely disgusted, Yang Ling could only grit her teeth and say, "I am Yang Ling, the CEO of Yang's Group, and I'm here to see the person in charge here."
The man seemed to completely disregard Yang Ling's identity, his gaze remaining fixed on Xu Ye: "And who is he?"
Yang Ling frowned, but still introduced him as she had agreed with Xu Ye beforehand: "This is my assistant."
The man said with some disappointment, "Oh, it's business. Alright, you two, please come in."
After speaking, he stepped aside to let the two of them in.
After Yang Ling entered, the guy added with a wicked grin, "There are dogs in the yard, Ms. Yang, you'd better be careful."
"You're so beautiful, if I were to accidentally get bitten, I would feel terrible."
Yang Ling's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and she even regretted coming here. However, when she saw Xu Ye following her out of the corner of her eye, she instantly felt at ease again.
Wait, why am I feeling at ease because of him? Could it be that I...
Pshaw, that's impossible! I just met him, how could it be...?
It must be because he's a boy. Yes, that's it. I would feel at ease if it were any other boy...
Xu Ye was unaware of all this; he had been looking around ever since he entered.
Despite being called a project office, there wasn't a single staff member to be seen inside.
At the location of the prefabricated steel building, a group of men were gathered together; some were drinking and playing drinking games, while others were smoking and playing cards.
Judging from their clothes, they were all security guards from the project department. Even when they saw Yang Ling and Xu Ye come in, these people did not restrain themselves at all.
Several of them even seemed to feel too hot and suddenly took off their shirts, revealing their muscular physiques and tattoos.
Yang Ling stopped in her tracks instantly.
She glanced at Xu Ye, took a deep breath, and asked, "May I ask who is in charge here?"
The man stepped forward: "Brother Wang, I've come to see you."
The man he called Brother Wang was a middle-aged man around forty years old, who also had a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw Yang Ling, a strong greed immediately appeared in his eyes.
He threw his cards on the table: "Damn it, why didn't you call me sooner if there was a pretty girl around?"
"Leave the cards here and don't touch them. Wait for me to come back, and I'll make sure you're all wiped out!"
After saying that, he stood up, walked up to Yang Ling, and extended his hand with a wicked smile, saying, "Hello, hello, I am the person in charge of this project department, my surname is Wang."
Both of this person's words and his current gaze made Yang Ling very uncomfortable, so naturally, she didn't want to shake hands with him.
But if we don't seize the opportunity, we obviously won't achieve our goal today.
Just when she was in a dilemma, someone stepped forward.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, my surname is Xu, nice to meet you."
It was Xu Ye.
Before the other person could react, he stepped forward and grasped their hand.
Brother Wang was stunned for a moment, then looked at the guy who had suddenly appeared in front of him, his face instantly darkening: "Who are you?"
Xu Ye didn't mind the other party's tone and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Xu, and I am the person in charge of the Beicheng Economic Zone project."
This time, it was the security guard who had led them in who changed his expression.
His face darkened, and he said in an extremely unfriendly tone, "Didn't President Yang just say that you are her assistant?"
