Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1721: Chapter 639: Deeply Moved by Hu Ling! (Major Chapter)

”...Um, I... I mainly don’t want to just idle at home.”

”I guessed as much. Alright, I’ll come to your place with people in a bit. How much longer do you think you’ll need to finish up?”

”Probably around two hours.”

”Alright then, do your best. See you in a bit... By the way, did you miss me?”

Shangguan Yue turned to glance at the tourists on the boat, blushing slightly, and said, ”...Um.”

”If you miss me, say you miss me; if you don’t, say you don’t. What does ’um’ mean?”

Shangguan Yue bit her lip and said, ”...I miss you.”

”That’s my good Yueyue. I miss you to death too. See you soon!”

”Mm, see you soon.”

After hanging up, Shangguan Yue’s face turned completely red.

Previously, her tanned skin barely showed any redness, but recently she’s been using the whitening cream Zhang Jingdong gave her, which worked wonders. Her complexion is now even fairer than most people, making her blush particularly noticeable.

The few men on the boat had actually been stealing glances at her, and upon realizing Shangguan Yue seemed even more beautiful, their hearts suddenly raced.

After Zhang Jingdong finished the call with Shangguan Yue, he immediately dialed Wang Ye.

Since Wang Ye helped Zhang Jingdong that night, he had been waiting for his call. Mainly, because Zhang Jingdong mentioned planning to invest in two projects worth tens of millions in the county and even promised him shares.

His aim was to earn money alongside Zhang Jingdong and further strengthen their relationship by assisting him.

He now totally grasped Zhang Jingdong’s connection with Yang Chong, knowing that if he could secure Zhang Jingdong, he might link up with Yang Chong.

Once connected with Yang Chong, Wang Ye would be even more influential in Hong County and neighboring counties.

And such influence wouldn’t just mean making big bucks but much more...

So when he saw Zhang Jingdong finally calling, he answered instantly: ”Hello, Boss Zhang!”

”Wang, didn’t I mention before about wanting to develop a resort by the caves? You free today? I’d like to take you there for a site visit.”

Wang Ye was thrilled to find out Zhang Jingdong really meant business: ”Sure, no problem... Tell me the time and place, I can go anytime.”

”Okay then, let’s meet at Lihua Restaurant in half an hour.”

”Alright.”

After hanging up, Zhang Jingdong called Wu Jianguo.

Wu Jianguo answered almost immediately: ”Hello, Uncle!”

”President Wu, are you free today? I just called Wang Ye. We’re heading over to the caves for a site visit. If all checks out, I’ll transfer the funds, and you can expedite the launch.”

Wu Jianguo had been eagerly waiting for this and couldn’t hide his excitement when Zhang Jingdong got serious: ”Absolutely, I’m available anytime. You just set the plan.”

”Okay, then head over to Lihua Restaurant now.”

”Alright... Um... Uncle, there’s one more thing I wanted to chat with you about?”

”What’s the matter? Go on.”

”Last night, wasn’t Xiao Shang the one who upset you? He may have told me you forgave him upon returning, but I still feel I should take him to personally apologize, what do you think?”

”It’s alright. I’m an elder, how could I hold a grudge against him? But if you want to bring him, go ahead, it’s a good chance for him to gain insight.”

”Sure thing... Thank you, Uncle!”

After hanging up, Zhang Jingdong called Zhang Lihua.

The call connected after two rings: ”Hello... Boss Zhang.”

”Daring to call me Boss Zhang, are you? Not happy, do it over!”

Zhang Lihua quickly lowered her voice: ”Stop messing around; I’m at home right now!”

”Then whisper ’hubby’ to me now.”

”You... fine, you win... Hubby.”

”Haha, that’s more like it. Business time, are you free today? I want to take Wang Ye, Jianguo, and you out to the caves for a site visit, discuss my ideas with you all. If there aren’t any issues, I’ll send the money for you guys to kickstart the launch expeditiously.”

”I just called Wang Ye and Jianguo and asked them to meet at your restaurant in half an hour. Do you think you’ll make it?”

”No worries, I’ve already packed and was about to head to the restaurant.”

”Okay, hurry up then. See you soon!”

”Mm, see you soon.”

After finishing the call, Zhang Jingdong restarted his car and quickly arrived at Lihua Restaurant.

Soon after, Wang Ye arrived, and the two chatted warmly for a while before Wu Jianguo and Wu Shang showed up.

After Wu Shang returned home last night, Wu Jianguo scolded him harshly before explaining in detail how impressive Zhang Jingdong truly was.

Wu Shang was still somewhat skeptical initially, but upon seeing Zhang Jingdong and Wang Ye engage in animated conversation, he could tell just from their postures that Wang Ye was the humble party; Wu Shang was instantly sold.

He had previously witnessed his own father being equally humble before Wang Ye.

Now seeing Zhang Jingdong able to humble Wang Ye like that, it was clear that he had indeed risen to great heights.

When he realized this, he felt both relieved and puzzled.

Relieved because even though he offended Zhang Jingdong last night, his dad knew him, so he could still stand there safely.

The puzzling part was he couldn’t comprehend how Zhang Jingdong managed to climb up.

This guy was the same age as himself with no background yet managed to achieve so much within just a year; it was simply unbelievable.

Just as he was pondering deeply, he suddenly saw his young aunt arrive, and when she greeted everyone, she stood gleefully next to Zhang Jingdong.

In that moment, he was utterly bewildered!
