Just Came Into Wealth, Now Renting with Three Flight Attendants

41: Should we kowtow? The main point is to control the situation.”Manager Zhang, are you free? I’d like to treat you to dinner tonight.”

Qin Li said sincerely.

Even so, it couldn’t fully express her gratitude.

”Director Qin.”

Seeing this, Manager Guo, who was standing beside them, quickly spoke up.

”Naturally, I should be the one treating everyone to this meal today. I hope Manager Zhang and Director Qin can both give me face.”

Manager Guo was a businessman; he certainly wouldn’t miss such a chance to host.

One was the boss of Dami Technology Company, and the other was an influential person in the Planning Bureau.

Both of them held a higher status than him.

The Zhang Family, top to bottom, was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Manager Guo from the Demolition Office and Qin Li from the Bureau both wanted to treat Zhang Yu to a meal.

His status made everyone feel a tremendous difference.

Regret filled their hearts.

Why had they treated Zhang Yu so poorly and concealed the matter of the demolition?

Now, not only was the demolition canceled.

Furthermore, Zhang Yu’s current status was so prominent; they had missed countless opportunities for everyone to rise with him.

If they had fostered a good relationship earlier, things wouldn’t have come to this.

”Zhang Yu, I truly didn’t know about any of this,” Older Female Cousin stepped forward, trying to grab his arm. ”I always thought your name wasn’t on this house.”

”That’s right, if I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have let my parents do that!”

Second Uncle’s daughter, holding her child, also spoke.

The two female relatives stepped forward to plead.

”Well, at least you’re finally speaking like decent human beings. But why wait until now?”

Zhang Yu looked at the two of them.

Whether they were sincere or not, it no longer mattered.

”Zhang Yu, look, The Zhang Family has lived here for generations, and the building has long been in disrepair, couldn’t you...” Older Female Cousin still held onto a sliver of hope.

”Zhang Yu, we’ll talk to the elders. We’ll count those two floors as yours. And our other families will add an extra 100,000 yuan each, totaling 400,000 yuan, plus the two floors. What do you say?” Second Uncle’s daughter added.

Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and everyone else, except for the stubborn Zhang Weilong, expressed their agreement.

”That’s right, Zhang Yu, we are family after all. I know this little bit of property is nothing to you, but we can compensate you more.”

Second Uncle truly knew he was wrong.

”Zhang Yu, if you won’t forgive us, I’ll kneel and kowtow to you, how about that?”

He was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

At this moment, many people in the Urban Village were watching from a distance.

They basically knew that Zhang Yu had made a name for himself.

He was no longer the poor, parentless boy who could be casually bullied years ago.

Seeing The Zhang Family, usually so arrogant, now acting so subserviently.

They felt a sense of satisfaction.

”The Zhang Family only turns back once they hit the Southern Wall.”

”They took three feet of my land when they built their house back then; I still remember it now.”

”I saw their family steal vegetables from my garden, and they outright denied it. This family truly has issues.”

The neighbors discussed softly.

Previously, The Zhang Family had many members, especially many boys, so people didn’t dare to speak up.

Now, seeing The Zhang Family suffer such misfortune.

And it was the ostracized Zhang Yu who had checkmated them—this was completely satisfying to watch, like a ”Shuang Wen” novel.

”Hold on. Can you people observe some Basic Law?”

Manager Guo couldn’t stand watching anymore.

”Why do you jump in when there’s profit, and then lose face when things turn against you? Aren’t you trying to emotionally blackmail Manager Zhang?”

”Manager Zhang, don’t worry. If the plan really needs to be changed, I can work overtime with my department tonight.”

Qin Li also guaranteed.

She was the Deputy Section Chief of the Planning Section.

She still had two or three subordinates under her; this problem was easy to solve.

”For the R&D Base, is the Phase Two Land yet to be acquired?”

Zhang Yu asked.

”Yes, Manager Zhang. Currently, only the Phase One Land has been acquired. The Phase Two plan still has some details that need to be finalized with Director Qin.”

Manager Guo said.

”Good.”

He understood the situation.

”Since I said this building won’t be demolished, that won’t change.”

This single sentence was equivalent to a death sentence for The Zhang Family.

The faces of the dozen or so people darkened.

”If the land acquisition for Phase Two begins, please have Director Qin show me the proposal beforehand.”

This subsequent sentence gave The Zhang Family a glimmer of hope.

Qin Li and Manager Guo also understood that Zhang Yu hadn’t conceded, but he hadn’t completely blocked the path either.

As long as The Zhang Family behaved well before Phase Two started.

Handing over the share that originally belonged to Manager Zhang, and compensating him for the years of emotional distress.

Then perhaps there would still be a chance for demolition.

However, at that point, the power over the life and death of the entire family would be completely in Zhang Yu’s hands.

If he tightened his grip, he could push The Zhang Family to ruin.

If he was in a good mood and loosened it, The Zhang Family could live.

Dominated by Control.

”Manager Zhang, you truly have great vision and broad-mindedness! I admire you!”

Manager Guo was full of praise for Zhang Yu.

He made up his mind that he needed to find a way to follow Zhang Yu in the future.

A person like this, if served loyally, would surely treat his subordinates well.

Qin Li looked at Zhang Yu, her eyes sparkling.

This was charismatic appeal.

Seeking revenge with pure passion was the act of a hothead.

Using both kindness and authority, combining firmness with gentleness—that was the advanced Art of Managing People.

Zhang Yu also knew.

Among the dozen or so members of The Zhang Family, two or three were innocent.

Even when Second Uncle and Zhang Weilong were being so aggressive, they hadn’t spoken up.

Maintaining a reputation for generosity and benevolence was beneficial to him.

Manager Guo and Qin Li clearly showed admiration for him.

Perhaps even the news media would come to interview him.

As for The Zhang Family.

Now that they were all meek and obedient, who would dare to cause trouble?

If he truly backed them into a corner and they resorted to extreme measures, that would be a nuisance.

”Alright. Let’s leave this matter here.”

Zhang Yu glanced at the time, indicating he was about to leave.

”Manager Zhang, since you’ve come all this way, how can you leave without having dinner!”

Just then.

A black Hongqi official car drove up.

Several people wearing administrative jackets got out of the car.

”Who are they?”

”I don’t know, but judging by their attire, they seem to hold high official positions!”

”Why are they also being so polite to Manager Zhang!”

The eyes of the surrounding neighbors were filled with even greater astonishment.

What kind of luck had Zhang Yu stumbled upon after being gone for a few years?

”It’s Secretary Sha!”

Manager Guo saw the arrival and quickly rushed forward to greet him.

”Hello, Secretary Sha.”

Qin Li also called out politely and courteously.

”Come, let me introduce you.”

Manager Guo said.

”This is Secretary Sha, who is in charge of planning for the Binjiang District of Jiangcheng City!”

”And this is...”

”I know, this is Manager Zhang of Dami Technology. I’ve heard much about you!”

Sha Ruikang extended his hand.

”Hello, Secretary Sha!”

Zhang Yu smiled and shook his hand in return.

”I never expected Manager Zhang to be so young and accomplished. Especially since you’ve invested heavily in building an R&D Base in my Binjiang District—it’s a great deed that benefits the local populace!”
