as the editor-in-chief hesitated, Cheng KeXin nodded, indicating her agreement. 。This way, the editor felt at ease. 。Then Tang Xien, you move your seat to face Cheng Kexin. 。That way, if Tang Xi'en...Xu Wensheng, who was standing nearby, heard this and inwardly cursed, "You old fox, you're putting on quite a show! If I hadn't known beforehand, I would have been fooled too."

Gu Yichen took the contract pushed over by Director Zhao. He saw a sentence under his index finger: If the甲方(Party A) is unable to pay, the guarantor shall be fully responsible for paying the full amount. This sentence was hidden in a inconspicuous position among several pages of the contract, making it difficult to find.

Gu Yichan looked at the contract, his face clouded with worry, and said: "Zhao Ju, as you know, this project was done by me and President Xu's company together. I'm afraid I can't make a decision alone."

Director Zhao understood Gu Yichan's words. He pushed a contract to Xu Wensheng, tapping the price section with his index finger and winking. Then he said, "Xu, brother, you see, although this price is high, this location is a treasure land with immense potential for appreciation. I think you know that, so make your decision."

Xu Wensheng, following Zhao Ju's finger, saw a staggering number. He silently counted in his heart: one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million! Two hundred and fifty million! It had doubled the price of this piece of land.

Xu Wensheng's eyes burned with excitement, his heart pounding with joy. This was amazing! Director Zhao was so ruthless, but he wasn't complaining—he was making a killing too. Since Gu Yichen had agreed, receiving free money, what reason did he have to refuse

He deliberately put on a displeased expression and said, "Mr. Gu, the price is a bit high, but as Director Zhao said, the appreciation potential of this piece of land is self-evident. I think we can take it down here."

Gu Yichen heard this and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Hmph Do you think you've picked up a pie out of the sky Think I'm an easy target When something goes wrong later, don't come crying to me."

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Yichen said, "Since Mr. Xu also thinks it's feasible, then let's do it that way."

Director Zhao looked at Gu Yichen with an expression of having suffered a great loss, thinking in his heart: You really eat people without spitting out their bones. It was you who asked me to raise the price so high, yet you're pretending that you've been wronged.

Chief Zhao let out a light cough and winked at Xu Wensheng, saying in a calm tone, “Since that’s the case, let's sign the contract now. It's best to avoid any unforeseen circumstances overnight. What if higher-ups decide to raise the price later”

Xu Wensheng also chimed in, "Yes, General Manager Gu, sign it sooner rather than later. That way, we both can rest easy."

"Remembering him as someone who was difficult to deal with, Gu Yichan let out a long sigh and said: 'Alright, since that's the case, just sign it.'"

As Gu Yichan spoke, he signed his name on the three contracts and handed them to Bureau Chief Xu. Bureau Chief Xu then took out a red seal and stamped it with the Land Registry's official seal on the contract, before handing it back to Xu Wensheng and saying in a calm tone: "Mr. Xu, for such a large contract, I ask you to be a witness and sign your name as well."

Xu Wensheng heard this and felt a little strange. He still needed him to be a witness He replied lightly, "Hmm"

Director Zhao saw Xu Wensheng hesitate and explained, "This was implemented by the higher-ups out of fear that some officials might pocket money. They stipulated that any contract worth over 100 million yuan must have a witness signature."

Having said that, Director Zhao leaned in and lowered his voice, feigning concern: "Sign it quickly before he changes his mind. If he backs out, we'll get nothing."

Xu Wensheng listened and thought what Director Zhao said made sense. Since he considered him a close friend, he had no reservations whatsoever. He picked up his pen and signed his name without hesitation.

When Xu Wensheng signed his name on the contract, Director Zhao let out a sigh of relief and beamed. He repeatedly said, "Good, good, good! Now that the contract is signed, we can all rest assured. You two, please keep the contract safe and sound, don't lose it. This is very important, so make sure you take good care of it."

Xu Wensheng looked at Director Zhao, who was beaming with joy, and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. You just signed your name and made tens of millions. When things go wrong, Gu Yichen will also blame me.But, how did he suddenly come here" Ling Chen asked in a low voice. 。"Well, it's not exactly sudden. He mentioned wanting to come see me before." 。Zhao Yizhuo bowed his head. 。After an unknown amount...
