Chapter 145 Bystanders
[Chapter 147: Bystanders]
"You are quite something, why don't you be the navigator?"
"Yeah!"
Zhang Chi came back to his senses and frowned, "Old Chen, do you know her?"
Old man Chen pulled her and shook his head, "How could I know her? Isn't she your girlfriend?"
"I'm not."
"she……"
Just as Zhang Chi was about to speak, he heard Qiao Linlin's denial.
Looking back, he saw Qiao Linlin's arrogant expression and was immediately speechless: "So you followed us secretly again today?"
"Um, Chizi, didn't they come with you?"
Chen Yinlong said in surprise.
Everyone looked at each other.
After a long time, everyone thought that Qiao Linlin knew the other party. The father and son of the Chen family went even further and treated this girl as their girlfriend.
Zhang Chi was speechless for a moment: "We don't even know each other, why would I bring her to such an important occasion? Fortunately, we didn't discuss any confidential information."
"Hey, hey, you're going too far."
Qiao Linlin put her hands on her hips and said, "Even if I heard it, what would happen? Can I tell others?"
Zhang Chi shrugged and said, who knows.
Qiao Linlin was so angry that her breasts grew bigger.
At this time, Old Man Chen smiled and said, "Chizi, maybe this is fate. How about letting this girl be your navigator for a few days?"
Qiao Linlin's eyes lit up.
Zhang Chi frowned and said, "Old Chen, she is a rich second-generation beauty, she can't bear this hardship. When she quits, where can we find another navigator?"
After Zhang Chi finished speaking, he glanced at Qiao Linlin with disdain.
Qiao Linlin retorted angrily, "I'm not that irresponsible. Just say you don't want to be my partner. Why are you talking so much? Humph."
"I……"
Don't want to?
Zhang Chi frowned slightly. He still remembered the feeling just now vividly, especially the rhythm of Qiao Linlin reading the route, which perfectly matched his own rhythm.
But is this girl really suitable?
Seeing Zhang Chi fell silent.
Qiao Linlin suddenly felt a little disappointed. She didn't know why. She had cooperated so well just now, so why didn't he give her a chance?
Qiao Linlin has been particularly fond of racing since she was a child.
She can be seen at major competitions around the world almost every year. Others go to watch star concerts and other horse-racing events, but she only loves racing sports.
For this reason, her family bought her many cars. Her grandfather even bought her a fleet of first-line cars as a birthday present on her eighteenth birthday.
However, watching others drive a car is not as interesting as driving one yourself.
Qiao Linlin's dream is to become a racing driver, so she trained in a racing team for two years.
It was not until she was judged that she did not have the talent of a racing driver but had the potential to be a navigator that she quit the team in despair.
However, after riding in Zhang Chi's car today, she changed her mind.
You don't have to drive yourself to experience the feeling of speeding. Sitting in the passenger seat of Zhang Chi can also give her that unique sense of excitement and pleasure. Simply put, it is shocking.
He gritted his teeth.
Qiao Linlin stepped forward and listened to the little chest and said, "Anyway, you also need a navigator to adapt to the state of the competition. Before you find a new navigator, let me try."
The cute girl Lu Yao standing nearby looked at Qiao Linlin in surprise.
It was the first time she saw Qiao Linlin being so persistent about something, even going so far as to beg someone she hated.
Uh, she said before that she hated Zhang Chi and that Zhang Chi cheated in the competition to win against her idol Torrea.
What's going on now?
Lu Yao looked like she was eating melon.
Everyone present looked at Zhang Chi curiously, waiting for his answer.
It is true that the cooperation between the two just now was perfect.
Zhang Chi: “…”
A long time passed.
Zhang Chicai nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, but if you want to quit, you have to tell us half a month in advance, otherwise it will affect our training."
Qiao Linlin was delighted when she heard this. She jumped in a circle with some joy and said, "Well, I will definitely cooperate with you in training and I promise not to let you down!"
"I hope so."
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly in his heart.
·
The next day.
Return to Xiasha Village.
Mom Fu Li came up and asked directly: "Chizi, do you think it is possible to let your uncle drive the school bus?"
Zhang Chi looked at his mother in confusion, "What's wrong again? Didn't we agree to let my uncle come to help my dad watch the parking lot?"
"Well, just tell me if you can do it. Your grandmother told you to include your uncle in the list. You can't let outsiders get away with so much money."
Zhang Chi knows his mother well. When it comes to her younger brother, she tends to be a bit of a brother-supporting person.
I guess my grandmother knew that I donated money and a school bus to the primary school, so she wanted my uncle to drive the school bus.
You have to know that the working hours for school bus drivers are fixed in the morning and afternoon, and they are basically idle during the day and at night.
My grandmother has only my uncle as her son to take care of her in her old age, so it's normal for her to have some thoughts.
Zhang Chi thought about it and nodded, "This shouldn't be a problem. I'll ask Xiaoyun."
Hearing this, my mother grinned and said, "You don't need to ask Xiaoyun. She said that as long as you agree, she can directly arrange for your uncle to join the company."
"Did she really say that?"
Zhang Chi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Long Xiaoyun would respect him so much.
The reason why they asked for my opinion was probably because they were afraid that the villagers would gossip about me.
After all, if the villagers and parents knew that I was donating money to pay my family’s wages, there would definitely be gossip.
"That can't be false. I'm telling you to stop messing around outside. Xiaoyun..."
Mother Fu Li was halfway through her words when she suddenly shut her mouth and looked behind Zhang Chi guiltily.
Zhang Chi looked back and saw Long Jingshan walking towards them, mother and son, with a smile on his face.
"Chizi, I heard from your father that you want to sublease my bamboo farm, right?"
Zhang Chi smiled, took out a pack of Zhenlong Haiyun, handed one to Long Jingshan, and said with a smile: "Yes, Jingshan asked you if it's convenient. I want to build a small racing track in the mountains."
"Racing?"
Long Jingshan nodded slightly.
He comes into contact with many people outside and has a relatively open mind. He believes that young people nowadays like those exciting and expensive sports.
Zhang Chi thought this was a good idea and he felt that the business should be good.
"It's possible to build a racetrack. The land there is relatively flat. But you have to get approval before you can start construction. The approval procedures are not easy to handle."
As Long Jingshan spoke, he pulled Zhang Chi's hand, walked aside and said, "Don't you know Chen Bin? Ask him to take you to find his cousin. That guy is the second in command in the town."
"No, how do you know that I know..."
This kid Chen Bin is somewhat famous in Shamen Town. Not only Long Jingshan knows him, but almost everyone in Xiasha Village knows him, especially Chen Bin's father, who was a prominent figure back then.
They have even been on TV and in newspapers, and ordinary people would avoid people like this.
However, Long Jingshan is well-informed.
He did not object to Zhang Chi contacting such people, as long as Zhang Chi did not do anything illegal.
On this point, he still believed that Zhang Chi could stick to his original intention.
However, if mother Fu Li knew that her son was friends with the son of that gangster, she would definitely be worried.
That's why Long Jingshan pulled him aside and talked to him in private.
"What can you expect Gangzi to hide for you?"
Long Jingshan knew his youngest brother very well, as he had raised him with great difficulty.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi looked speechlessly at Long Jinggang who was washing apples at the bathroom door. It seemed that this guy had betrayed him.
"Okay, I'm just giving you a suggestion. Of course, if you have your own way, you can try it. And forget about the subcontract. Just do whatever you want with the land. I'll come to you when I need bamboo. We're family, so we don't have to argue with each other."
Long Jingshan patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder. It seemed that he really treated Zhang Chi as his own son-in-law.
Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, then laughed it off, which was considered as his agreement.
As for who to ask for approval.
Zhang Chi still wanted to give Li Muqing a try. Chen Bin’s cousin was still too dangerous. Who knew if he would suddenly be investigated by the higher-ups?
Instead of waiting for a sudden revelation that involves you, it’s better to go find Li Muqing and give it a try. At least he has a strong background.
Figure this out.
Zhang Chi tentatively sent a WeChat message to Li Muqing, whom he had added when they met at the county vegetable market before.
Soon.
Li Muqing sent a message back.
[Qingwu Feiyang: Of course, you can come over anytime you are free. I also happen to have something I want to discuss with you, the richest man in the village.]
"The richest man in the village?"
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly, probably because Li Muqing knew about his donation.
I replied after going to see her in the afternoon.
Zhang Chi informed his mother and then drove straight to Zhenfu Road.
To get from Xiasha Village to the town, you have to pass through Duntou Village.
Zhang Chi deliberately drove a relatively low-key Land Rover Discovery today.
This car can only be regarded as an entry-level SUV under the Land Rover brand, and the price is not outrageous, so many people can afford it now.
"Ok?"
The car drove into the village road.
Zhang Chi's attention was suddenly attracted by a billboard.
I thought about it.
Zhang Chi parked the car on the side of the road, took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the anti-aircraft gun advertisement used for advertising, and sent it directly to Ye Hongguang.
Not long after, I received a call from Ye Hongguang.
"Chizi, are you next to that piece of land?"
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Yes, I happened to be passing by when something happened, and I found that their advertisements have been put up, and the investors..."
Zhang Chi didn't continue talking, obviously Ye Hongguang also saw it from the photo.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
Ye Hongguang said in a deep voice: "Don't get involved in this matter. Hu Zi and I will handle it. Damn it, I haven't encountered such a shameless opponent in several years. This time, I will make him bleed heavily no matter what."
Zhang Chi laughed dryly and said, "Okay, I'll go to Haisha to have a drink with you guys later."
"Well, come up and play when you are free. And thank you for discovering this matter in time, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark. This damn Li Muqing, he could go anywhere else to gain experience, but he had to go to your place..."
"Uh, hehe."
Zhang Chi hung up the phone with some embarrassment.
Suddenly I feel that going to find Li Muching now doesn't seem to be a wise choice.
It was obvious that Ye Hongguang was really angry.
Moreover, he also promised one-tenth of his shares, so now he should be considered to be on the same side as Ye Hongguang.
Li Muqing obviously did not want Ye Hongguang, a local, to invest in the Duntou Village project.
In other words, is there any interest exchange between Li Muqing's family and the family in Haicheng that requires Li Muqing to find people from Haicheng to invest?
Zhang Chi sighed. These things had little to do with him.
But unfortunately, he is stuck in the middle now.
I have an appointment with Li Muqing, it would be bad if I didn’t go.
I just tipped off Ye Hongguang. I always feel like a fence-sitter, neither a human nor an outsider.
Think for a moment.
Zhang Chi still felt that he could not break his promise, so he went to ask Li Muqing about his opinion on the Duntou Village project.
soon.
Zhang Chi saw Li Muqing and her secretary in a Pu'er teahouse on Zhenfu Road.
Both of them are beautiful women with good figures.
Li Muqing is more intellectual and kind.
The secretary was aloof and even seemed a little unapproachable.
Zhang Chi guessed that this secretary should be very capable and might have been sent by Li Muqing's family to protect her.
"Mr. Zhang, this way."
Zhang Chi: “…”
I am speechless. How come everyone is a boss now?
Zhang Chi felt weird when his former savior called him like that.
"Mayor Li, you are already calling me that. Just call me Chizi."
"Haha, if I don't call you Mr. Zhang, how can I find you to attract investment?"
Li Mucheng looked at Zhang Chi jokingly, but not as if he was joking.
Zhang Chi's body trembled violently, and he pretended to be confused and asked, "Um, you want me to invest?"
"Hmm."
Li Muqing sighed and gestured for them to go inside the teahouse box to talk.
The three of them entered the teahouse one after another.
In a car not far away, a man with a crew cut was watching this scene with a frown on his face.
The driver next to him said, "Brother Bao, do you want to notify the boss?"
The crew-haired man thought about it and shook his head, saying, "That's not necessary. It should be a small boss who came to ask for help. If you report this to the boss, aren't you afraid of getting scolded again?"
The driver laughed dryly: "It's because that guy is a little handsome."
"Tsk, being handsome is useless. He drives a shabby Discovery, a second-hand car from a few years ago. How can such a person become a competitor to the boss?"
The man with a crew cut twisted the bottle in his hand, tilted his head back and drank the whole bottle of Pulse.
"I'm going to the bathroom. You keep an eye on them. Especially if Haisha's gang shows up, notify the boss immediately. No, notify me first. I'll notify the boss."
"Alright Leopard Brother."
The driver responded with an uncertain look in his eyes, and seemed to have a lot of complaints about this Leopard Brother.
at the same time.
In a van not far from them.
A bald man saw Brother Leopard leave and hurriedly made a phone call.
"Brother Hu, the people following us have left. That woman surnamed Li has entered a teahouse. Do you want us to go up and warn her..."
"Call the police, you bastard. Watch out, I'll be there soon."
"Oh, by the way, she just went into the teahouse with a man."
"man?"
"Well, he was driving a car with a local license plate. He must be here to do something for her."
"Give me the photo."
Not long after.
The person on the other end of the phone hung up immediately.
While Zhang Chi was in the box asking Li Muching if he could set up a racing track, his cell phone suddenly rang.
See the caller ID.
Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered the call.
"Chizi, is Li Muqing next to you?"
Zhang Chi opened his mouth and nodded helplessly.
Ye Hongguang didn't ask any more questions, but asked Zhang Chi to turn on the speaker first.
Then, a negotiation on interests began.
Of course, Zhang Chi was just a bystander.
