Chapter 311: Yan Siming Is Angry
Translator: Lonelytree
The phone rang! Liao Guohui saw that it came from an unknown number. He frowned and hung up immediately.
Yan Siming’s face darkened after he was hung up upon. He felt a wave of irritation in his heart. He hit the steering wheel heavily and cursed angrily, “Liao Guohui, you fucker!”
He made another call. And he was hung up upon again.
He called again. He was blacklisted.
Yan Si Ming instantly hated this Liao Guohui. He called Secretary Wang directly and instructed, “Use the company’s name to call Liao Guohui!”
Secretary Wang was puzzled, but he still listened to Yan Siming’s instructions and called Liao Guohui. When Liao Guohui heard Yan Siming’s secretary was calling him, he immediately felt flattered.
He smiled and said, “Secretary Wang, hello!” Although he didn’t know why Yan Siming’s secretary was calling him, he knew his life would be better if he could befriend the Yan Group. Therefore, he had to be nice to Secretary Wang.
Secretary Wang was already used to this kind of flattery.
He said straightforwardly, “Chairman Liao, our Chairman is looking for you. He called you multiple times. Did you receive it?”
“Did Chairman Yan call me? But…” Liao Guohui was about to say he didn’t receive any such calls when he remembered the many calls he had rejected and the number he had blacklisted. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
He immediately changed his tone and said, “I’l call Chairman Yan back right now.” Then, he carefully probed, “Secretary Wang, May I know why Chairman Yan is looking for me?”
Secretary Wang rolled his eyes and said, “CEO Liao, I don’t know what the boss is thinking either.”
With that, he hung up the phone. He held the phone and said disdainfully, “Why is the Chairman looking for you? You’ve gone after the Chairman’s woman, and he is looking to settle the score with you.”
Liao Guohui looked at the phone, and he felt very uneasy. From Secretary Wang’s attitude, it didn’t seem like this was going to be a good thing. If it were, Secretary Wang would be very kind to him.
Liao Guohui thought about it, but he couldn’t think of how he had offended Yan Siming, He felt even more uneasy when he was reminded of the business world’s evaluation of Yan Siming.
Yan Siming was called a smiling tiger. He would take down your company while smiling at you. Therefore, no one in the business world was willing to offend Yan Siming.
Now that Yan Siming had suddenly called him privately, he felt a little frightened. However, he didn’t have the time to dawdle. He quickly took out his phone and whitelisted the latest number. He dialed the number back.
After the call was picked up, Liao Guohui cautiously called out, “Chairman Yan?”
Yan Siming’s attitude was very unpleasant as he said coldly, “It’s me!”
Hearing the unhappy tone, Liao Guohui’s heart winced. He quickly explained, “Chairman Yan, I’m really sorry. I don’t have your number. I thought it was an insurance sales call. I really didn’t mean to blacklist you.
“If knew it was you, I would have answered the call immediately!”
Yan Siming didn’t want to waste time talking nonsense with him. He asked directly, “Liao Guohui, I heard that you’re developing Taoyuan Village as a tourist destination. Is that true?”
Liao Guohui was stunned. He was very confused. Why would Yan Siming ask about this?
He knew that the Yan Group was involved in many industries, including tourism development.
Back then, when he had his eyes on the Taoyuan Village, Liao Guohui did consider finding an investment partner. However, when he thought of the Little Cattle King, he didn’t want to share it with anyone else, so he gave up on that idea. Furthermore, he didn’t plan to use a large budget to ‘develop’
Taoyuan Village anyway.
‘But how did Yan Siming know about this? Is it possible that he also knows about the Little Cattle King? Or is he only eyeing that piece of strawberry land?
Regardless, it gave Liao Guohui a very bad feeling.
He didn’t like this feeling of having his food possibly being snatched away from him. However, Yan Siming was too powerful. If he wanted to take over, there was nothing Liao Guohui could do.
Liao Guohui carefully asked, “Chairman Yan, there is such a thing. I wonder if you…”
Yan Siming didn’t wait for Liao Guohui to finish speaking and loudly commanded, “Liao Guohui, I want you to stop all actions immediately and have your men withdraw from the village now.”
When Liao Guohui heard Yan Siming’s words, he appeared to be very unhappy. He argued with reason, “Chairman Yan, are you kidding me? I’ve gone through all the proper procedures to earn the right to develop Taoyuan Village. And you want me to withdraw now?
“Chairman Yan, I know you have a lot of money and power, but you don’t have the right and reason to make me withdraw all my investment for no reason.”
His tone was sharp.
Yan Siming had a lot of money and power, but Liao Guohui also had a certain amount of backing.
Liao Guohui had spent so much effort to find a legitimate reason to occupy Taoyuan Village. How could he give up just because of Yan Siming’s words?
Yan Siming asked, “So you have just rejected me, right?”
Liao Guohui said very firmly, “Chairman Yan, can’t you be reasonable? I’ve gone through all the proper procedures. Up until now, our company has spent a lot of effort and invested a lot of funds. I can’t withdraw just because of a single word from you, Chairman Yan. If I do, how am I supposed to explain
myself to my employees?”
“So you don’t plan to withdraw, yes?” Yan Siming asked coldly.
“Ahem…” Liao Guohui coughed and said, “Chairman Yan, this is not a matter of me withdrawing. I have to be responsible to the other directors and employees who support me.”
Having said that, he didn’t wait for Yan Siming to speak. He directly probed, “However, if Chairman Yan also likes Taoyuan Village, we can work together. Chairman Yan can lead the demolition, and I’ll only pick up the scraps. Is that okay?”
“Nonsense!” Yan Siming growled. “Liao Guohui, so you’re not going to withdraw, right? Fine, watch and see how Global Tourism Development Company becomes the next Huiging Group!”
Yan Siming didn’t waste any more time with him and directly hung up the phone.
Liao Guohui was frightened. He called back the number, but Yan Siming hung up upon him. When Liao Guohui saw that, he was paralyzed with fear.
Huiqing Group, the name lingered in his mind.
Half a year ago, Huiging Group was still a big company in City Z, and its owner, Zhao Huiging, was also a celebrity in City Z’s business world.
However, overnight, Huiging Group was bought by the Yan Group, and Zhao Huiqing was sent to jail. This shocked everyone in the business world. They knew Yan Group was powerful, but they didn’t know it was that powerful!
‘The Yan Group managed to swallow a company as big as Huiqing Group in the blink of an eye. This shook the business world. This was a reminder for people not to offend Yan Siming.
And… Liao Guohui had done exactly that.
‘No… I can’t follow in Zhao Huiging’s footsteps. What can I do?”
Liao Guohui forced himself to calm down.
‘Then, he made a phone call and said, “Leader Lin, it’s me, Liao Guohui.”
Leader Lin sat in front of the office and was not very happy when he received a call from Liao Guohui. He asked, “What’s the matter?”
Liao Guohui said, “Leader Lin, I just received a call from Yan Siming. He asked me to stop the development of the Taoyuan Village, or he’d turn Global Tourism Development Company into the next Huiqing Group. He is clearly threatening me. Leader Lin, I have already received your approval. He is clearly
disrespecting you.. How can he do that? Am I right?”
