Chapter 329 - Accident
Chapter 329: Accident
Translator: Lonelytree
Liao Guohui didn’t know that Yan Siming had already been to Taoyuan Village, and he didn’t know the demolition team had encountered a roadblock in Taoyuan Village.
Liao Guohui was too busy dealing with Yan Siming’s warning. The demolition team reported their findings to Li Jianmin. Li Jianmin got into an accident and was fighting for his life at the hospital.
That was how the chain of information was broken.
After selling the forklift and other tools, Captain Hu’s team disappeared.
From Liao Guohui’s perspective, Captain Hu’s team did all these because they heard about how their company had offended Yan Siming. They got scared and dispersed.
Because of that, Liao Guohui didn’t know that he had to deal with another big shot other than Yan Siming, Naturally, Liao Guohui also couldn’t tell Yan Yiging what the demolition team had encountered in Taoyuan Village. He only told him he had inadvertently offended Yan Siming.
Therefore, Yan Yiging had no idea there was another big shot in Taoyuan Village. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cooperated with Liao Guohui.
After Yan Yiging hung up the phone with Liao Guohui, his brows knitted tightly together.
According to Liao Guohui, there was no one powerful to stop him from developing Taoyuan Village… other than his son, Yan Siming.
However, his son’s warning clearly meant something else.
Yan Yiging thought about it. Could it be that his son’s female friend had some other background?
However, if that were true, Liao Guohui would have known. Otherwise, how could he be so bold to send in the demolition team to destroy Taoyuan Village?
Liao Guohui’s reputation in the business world was not good.
To put it simply, he was a bully!
Liao Guohui was arrogant and ruthless when facing people who didn’t have any background or had a lower background than him. These people couldn’t do anything when they were exploited.
However, when he faced those who had more power than him, Liao Guohui was like a smiling cat. He would never offend them.
Every time he wanted to start a development project, he would send out his people to investigate the background of the target location. He did this to see if he could take over the land easily or not. It should be the same case with Taoyuan Village.
Thinking of this, Yan Yiging shook his head and felt that he was overthinking things.
Although he was somewhat puzzled by Yan Siming’s warning, he believed Yan Siming was only loud to protect his female friend.
Liao Guohui was relieved, even though this meant he had to share the cake that was Taoyuan Village with another person. However, that was better than giving it up altogether.
Yan Yiqin cooperated with Global Tourism Development Company in the name of another company under the Yan family, Qingcheng Investment Development Company. Yan Yiging sent someone to discuss the cooperation with Liao Guohui.
Liao Guohui was back in high spirits.
The business world immediately knew that Liao Guohui managed to get close to the head of the Yan Family, Yan Yiqing. They all crowded around Liao Guohui, trying to use him to get close to the Yan Family.
Liao Guohui was a very cautious person.
He had always thought it was only Yan Siming who was stopping him from developing Taoyuan Village. However, now that he had gotten cooperation from Yan Siming’s father, he was not afraid anymore.
Of course, he would not offend Yan Siming for no reason either. After all, that wouldn’t do him any good.
Who was more important, a son or a business partner?
‘The answer was clear. Everyone also knew that the Yan Family would always look after their own.
If Liao Guohui went to offend Yan Siming on purpose, he would be offending his new business partner. Then, he’d really be dead.
After he learned from Yan Yiqing that the owner of the Little Cattle King was Yan Siming’s friend, Liao Guohui immediately sent people to investigate the woman’s identity.
It was not that hard to do that. The woman was famous for the incident of the acquisition of the Huiging Group. Liao Guohui found out the woman’s name was Xiao Lingyu. She worked formerly in City Z, but she had gone back home to farm.
Liao Guohui found nothing about Xiao Lingyu that he should be afraid of.
She might have Yan Siming’s protection, but he had Yan Siming’s father’s support. Liao Guohui decided to give Xiao Lingyu some extra compensation out of deference to Yan Siming.
As for the other villagers? They would be treated like the dirt that they were.
When Gong Tianhao received the report from his subordinate, his face sank.
But then, a cold smile appeared on his face.
He didn’t expect Liao Guohui to be so careless. Then again, this was a good thing. When he decided to settle the score with Liao Guohui, no one could blame Gong Tianhao for being heartless.
Liao Guohui was being an idiot first. He had already given Liao Guohui a chance. If he found development elsewhere, he would survive. However, this person insisted on courting death.
Gong Tianhao made another call.
“Yuanhang…”
Hu Hansan disbanded his demolition team. Therefore, Liao Guohui had to find another new team. Thankfully, his company had more than one demolition team.
‘The town council decided to turn a blind eye to the demolition of Taoyuan Village. This was a project approved by the higher-ups. They were dissatisfied, but they were too lowly to do anything.
Last time, the company had already sent a demolition team to enter Taoyuan Village right around the same time the town council received the development notice. Even the town council didn’t have the time to react.
‘When they wanted to do something, they received the news that the demolition team had already retreated. Honestly, the town council was relieved, because they knew that the arrangements for Taoyuan Village’s demolition were simply unreasonable.
However, since the higher-ups had approved everything, what could they do?
Fortunately, the demolition team had retreated, or else how would they appease the villagers?
However, to their shock, not long after that was over, another demolition team would return to crush Taoyuan Village. When they received the notice of demolition, the town council was silent again.
“What is going on?” The head of the town council, Pan Shouhong, frowned and said angrily, “They are going to run over the whole village like that. They aren’t even going to do anything to relocate the village.”
‘When the other members read through the notice, they were also indignant.
“No. I can’t agree this time.” Pan Shouhong insisted, “It’s fine if they want to demolish the village, but they have to come up with a fair and reasonable relocation plan. This is just bullying. I will not help them bully the villagers.”
Last time, they didn’t even have the chance to read the demolition notice because everything happened too fast.
But this time, they wouldn’t make the same mistake. The people in the meeting room agreed.
“Yes. This is obvious bullying. How can we answer to the villagers if we agree with this?”
“5000 RMB per villager? How can they even come up with such a thing? The farmers might be poor, but they have both lands and houses. They want to use 5000 to buy their lands and houses?! This is a joke!”
“5000? Even the farmers can earn more than that in a year!”
Everyone was discussing the irrationality of the demolition plan.
Of course, there were also people who agreed.
“The compensation is a little low. But if the Taoyuan Village is really developed into a tourist destination, then it will obviously be a great benefit to the villagers and us.
“Our town will become famous. It will drive the consumption and economic development of the entire town. At the same time, Global Tourism Development Company promises to provide the villagers with jobs in the tourist area.”
“That’s right. The villagers’ lives will only get better.”
There were two major factions regarding this matter.
However, since the town council leader didn’t agree, the plan wasn’t passed.
‘When Hong Qing learned of this matter, his face was livid with anger.
“Pan Shouhong dares to defy me?”
