Upon hearing Bing Tianyi's words, Old Huang quickly responded, "Boss Bing, if that's the case, then I won't take it."
"What's wrong? Do you think the house I'm giving you isn't livable or something?" Bing Tianyi asked Old Huang with a hint of helplessness.
Old Huang replied clearly, "That's not it. What I meant was that I would like to ask you to advance some of my salary."
"Alright, alright, don't say any more. Let's decide on your matters after we get to Lan City," Bing Tianyi said directly to Old Huang.
Having worked together for two years, Old Huang was well aware of Bing Tianyi's temperament. After Bing Tianyi finished speaking, he didn't want to say anything more and could only nod in agreement.
The next day, after arranging matters in the county town, Bing Tianyi took Old Huang and headed straight for Lan City.
In less than half a day's time, Bing Tianyi and Old Huang arrived at the Lan City station.
After getting off the bus, Mo Yonggang was already waiting at the station exit. Upon seeing Bing Tianyi, he quickly waved and called out, "I'm over here!"
Hearing Mo Yonggang's shout, Bing Tianyi turned around and waved back.
When the three met, Bing Tianyi curiously asked Mo Yonggang, "Manager Mo, how did the inspection go? What do you think about the development value of that piece of land I mentioned earlier?"
"Boss Bing, while the development value is quite good, the feasibility of securing that land right now isn't very high," Mo Yonggang said quietly as he walked forward.
After hearing this, Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "Alright, let's not discuss that for now. Let's go have a meal first."
Knowing that Bing Tianyi was coming to Lan City today, Mo Yonggang had already prepared a banquet.
Taking a taxi to the front of the restaurant, Bing Tianyi looked at the familiar hotel before him and was taken aback.
Dragon City Hotel—wasn't this the hotel where his class reunion took place years ago? Bing Tianyi frowned as he stared at the large characters on top of the hotel, lost in thought.
Mo Yonggang and Old Huang were also curious; they stopped and looked at the strange expression on Bing Tianyi's face. After a few seconds of silence, Mo Yonggang finally asked softly, "Boss Bing, what's wrong? Is something not right?"
"Can we change to another place?" Bing Tianyi murmured.
For Bing Tianyi, this was a place filled with memories of sorrow. If he hadn't come to this hotel back then, perhaps he wouldn't have experienced the events that followed.
"If you don't like this place, we can choose another one," Mo Yonggang said softly.
Old Huang, overhearing this, laughed heartily and said, "Why change? We're already here, let's go in."
As he spoke, Old Huang stepped inside. Seeing Old Huang enter, Bing Tianyi felt there was no point in saying more and followed him in, shaking his head with a wry smile.
Once inside the private room, Bing Tianyi sat beside the table and looked at the various delicious dishes laid out. He quietly asked Mo Yonggang, "Is it just the three of us?"
"Yes, President Bing," Mo Yonggang replied with a smile.
Bing Tianyi thought for a moment and said to Mo Yonggang, "Brother, if it's just the three of us, we don't need to be so extravagant. After all, good resources should be used wisely; every penny we spend should be worth it."
Mo Yonggang felt a bit awkward after hearing this and chuckled softly, "President Bing, this meal is on me."
Bing Tianyi was taken aback but quickly realized what Mo Yonggang meant. He smiled wryly and said, "Brother, do you think I'm blaming you for spending our company's money?"
Mo Yonggang looked at Bing Tianyi curiously but didn't respond.
Bing Tianyi continued with a smile, "Don't misunderstand me; that's not what I meant. Think about it—us brothers have known each other for a long time; we're not new friends. Of course, even if we were new friends, we should consider the occasion and other external factors. Like I said earlier, every penny should be spent wisely. You inviting me to dinner and spending over ten thousand is not as good as saving that money to take care of your family."
After hearing this, Mo Yonggang burst out laughing and said directly to Bing Tianyi, "President Bing, it's precisely because we have such a long-standing relationship that you've treated me before. Today I should treat you!"
"You rascal! Alright then; I see the food is getting cold. Let's eat while we talk," Bing Tianyi said as he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
After a moment, Bing Tianyi raised his glass and took a couple of sips before slowly placing it back on the table. He then curiously asked Mo Yonggang in front of him, "When you mentioned that the feasibility wasn't strong, what did you mean by that?"
"The land in the city seems to be intended for building a plaza. I've asked quite a few people about it; they all said the government wouldn't sell it to us," Mo Yonggang replied with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi's heart sank. He couldn't help but think about the piece of land on the eastern side of the city; it had been developed by someone named Liu Dacai back then. That building eventually became a landmark in the city, and he heard that Liu Dacai made nearly seven hundred million from it.
But now that he wanted to develop it himself, how could he not even buy the land? Could it be that Liu Dacai had gotten ahead of him and already purchased that piece of land?
Thinking of this, Bing Tianyi asked Mo Yonggang again, "Manager Mo, have you heard any rumors about this piece of land?"
"I haven't heard anything about it, but I think if possible, shouldn't you go meet President Wang Debiao of Wang Group today?" Mo Yonggang looked at Bing Tianyi and asked tentatively.
As an experienced businessman, Mo Yonggang understood the rules of doing business. Especially for someone like Bing Tianyi, who was just starting to develop real estate in Lan City, if he didn't visit the business giants of the city upon arrival, he would face difficulties later on. Not only would they not help him, but they might even take advantage of his situation and push him further into trouble.
Of course, this doesn't mean that such people are unethical; it's just how business works. There is an old saying that the marketplace is like a battlefield.
After Mo Yonggang finished speaking, Bing Tianyi chuckled and said, "Is that really necessary?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Huang also chimed in with a smile, "President Bing, I think it would be good for you to visit him. After all, we are preparing to shift our focus to Lan City. If we can find such a strong backing, everything will be much easier."
In fact, Bing Tianyi had met Wang Debiao before. This guy seemed quite easygoing on the surface, completely different from what he had heard about Wang Debiao before his suicide.
After pondering for a moment, Bing Tianyi stood up and smiled at Mo Yonggang, saying, "In that case, let's go tomorrow. I plan to wander around Lan City for half a day today."
Although he said he would be wandering around, Bing Tianyi did not think that way in his heart. Reflecting on his past suicide, he felt nothing but hatred for Lan City.
At that time, he couldn't find a suitable job and faced significant social pressure. A combination of various factors led to what happened after a class reunion.
Now that he had returned to Lan City with a completely different identity from before, he naturally felt a surge of emotions.
Although he had visited Lan City several times in the past two years for business discussions, those visits were not aimed at long-term development like today.
He increasingly wanted to check out the rental house where he used to live.
Seeing Bing Tianyi stand up, Mo Yonggang also got up and smiled at him, saying, "That works too. I'll accompany you to explore today; we didn't have much time during my previous visits."
"You can eat first; there's no rush. We'll go after you're done," Bing Tianyi said with a smile.
Old Huang nearby heard this and helplessly smiled at Mo Yonggang, saying, "Manager Mo, if you get up now, I feel awkward eating here. Please sit down; let's go after I finish my meal."
Mo Yonggang nodded in agreement and sat back down at the table, quickly picking up his chopsticks to eat.
After dinner, Bing Tianyi and Mo Yonggang went out. Mo Yonggang drove Bing Tianyi to his current residence and then took him for a ride through Lan City.
Looking at the present-day Lan City, Bing Tianyi reminisced about what it would look like in a few years. He murmured to Mo Yonggang, "Brother, let's go to Eighth Avenue in Nanhhe Changxing."
Mo Yonggang nodded in agreement and drove directly toward Changxing District.
About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the parking lot at the entrance of Eighth Avenue. After getting out, Bing Tianyi looked at the familiar street before him and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Damn it, it's been three years, and I'm back again."
Seeing Bing Tianyi's reaction, both Mo Yonggang and Old Huang were curious. Noticing the excitement on Bing Tianyi's face, Mo Yonggang couldn't help but ask, "Boss Bing, have you been here before?"
"Hehe, there are some things I'll tell you about later. You wouldn't believe me if I told you now," Bing Tianyi replied with a smile.
Mo Yonggang frowned but wasn't too surprised; after all, Bing Tianyi often said things that no one could understand.
"Come on, let's go check it out," Bing Tianyi said as he walked toward the rental house where he had lived before.
Mo Yonggang and Old Huang hurriedly followed behind him. After about ten minutes, Bing Tianyi stopped in front of a three-story building that hadn't changed at all. The large trash bin at the entrance looked just as it did when he lived there.
"I can't believe this has been here for so many years," Bing Tianyi remarked quietly as he looked at the dark green trash bin that occasionally emitted a foul smell.
Mo Yonggang and Old Huang exchanged glances and smiled wryly before turning to look around. After a moment of thought, Bing Tianyi said to Mo Yonggang and Old Huang, "Why don't you wait here for a bit? I'll go inside and take a look."
