"Heh, Village Chief, rest assured. Other developers usually take a year or two to process payments, but we're different. I guarantee that within three months, as stated in the contract, the funds will be in your account!"
Wang Zhongping patted the Village Chief on the shoulder.
Upon hearing this, the Village Chief beamed.
"Oh, thank you! Manager Wang, I have complete faith in your work!"
With that, the Village Chief began to escort Wang Zhongping out.
Wang Zhongping, accompanied by his assistant, waved his hands at the Village Chief, saying, "Ah, ah, Village Chief, no need to see us off. We can manage ourselves. You and the villagers just wait for the demolition compensation to arrive!"
"Alright, alright, alright!"
The Village Chief repeatedly bowed, his face splitting into a wide smile!
Meanwhile, Wang Zhongping inwardly cursed the Village Chief as an idiot.
Three hundred and twenty million yuan was sitting in his account. In three months, the interest alone would be substantial!
If he invested this money elsewhere, it might even generate more returns!
These villagers were fools, easily fooled.
Now, he needed to report this matter clearly to the company, ensuring no one sabotaged his plans!
Just as Wang Zhongping turned to quickly leave the self-built villa,
Ling Feng, along with Lin Siqi and Tang Ru, appeared before him!
"Oh? Who are you?" Wang Zhongping's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the stunning beauties, Tang Ru and Lin Siqi.
The Village Chief, seeing someone blocking their path, hurried forward.
"Are you from another development company? Our village's dozens of households have already signed contracts with Manager Wang. Don't waste your efforts, just leave and stop blocking the way!"
The Village Chief still held some authority and was about to call for reinforcements.
If Ling Feng and his companions were uncooperative, they would resort to forceful removal!
Tang Ru, seeing this, flushed with embarrassment and anger!
"Are you the Village Chief? Do you know you're being fooled?!"
The Village Chief was taken aback, then his eyes widened. "Hey, what nonsense are you spouting, girl? I'm a Village Chief, who could possibly fool me?"
However, these words sent a tremor through Wang Zhongping's heart.
But then, Wang Zhongping sized up Ling Feng and sneered dismissively, "Heh, so you're also in the business. However, we are from Shengshi Real Estate, and we've already secured this project. Young man, next time you undertake a project, have sharper eyes. Don't just have good taste in women! If you don't have money, these beauties wouldn't bother with you!"
This was clearly a veiled insult.
As he spoke, Wang Zhongping reached out to pat Ling Feng on the shoulder!
But before Wang Zhongping's hand could land, Ling Feng raised a hand and grabbed his wrist.
With a slight squeeze!
*Crack!*
His bones seemed to emit a groan of pain!
Wang Zhongping's eyes widened, bloodshot. "Hey, hey, why are you resorting to violence? Let go of me, this is uncivilized!"
Wang Zhongping's assistants rushed forward.
"What are you doing? Trying to start a fight!"
"Let go, who do you think you are!"
"Quickly release our Manager Wang! I'm telling you, our Manager Wang is the head of Shengshi Real Estate for this entire district! You can't afford to offend him!"
"Scoundrel, which real estate company are you from? Don't you know the rules? When you see someone from Shengshi Real Estate, you should bow your head!"
"Hey, let's talk it out, no need for violence."
The clamor from the assistants was much faster than any physical action.
Before they could intervene, Ling Feng looked at Wang Zhongping and said indifferently, "Shengshi Real Estate! Your reputation is indeed good, but by doing this, you are tarnishing Shengshi Real Estate's name. Don't you realize that?"
His words, spoken calmly, carried a chilling deterrence!
The surrounding people actually hesitated to attack Ling Feng.
Or rather, their outstretched hands didn't know where to go.
It felt as if Ling Feng was radiating heat, making them unable to act!
"You, what do you mean by that? Do I need you to teach me how to do my job? Tell me, which company are you from?"
Wang Zhongping snarled through gritted teeth, feeling a knot of unease in his heart.
While they held back, the Village Chief's temper flared. He called out to people inside, "Everyone, come out! Someone is attacking our Manager Wang! If anything happens to Manager Wang, our demolition compensation won't arrive!"
His words were like a thunderclap.
Everyone inside was immediately jolted out, moving with surprising speed!
Even an eighty-year-old man hobbled out, brandishing his walking stick, seemingly ready to strike Ling Feng on the head a few times!
"Damn it, where did this trash come from?"
"Blind fool, obstructing my path to wealth, you're asking for death!"
"These two women are quite beautiful, truly..."
"Hey, hey, everyone, calm down. Village Chief, is there some misunderstanding?"
"Yes, everyone, don't fight! If someone gets injured in our village, we'll be held responsible!"
"Oh my, what era is this, still resorting to fighting?"
"Right, right, let's all be harmonious and prosper!"
To Ling Feng's slight relief, sixty percent of the villagers were still rational and stepped forward to mediate.
Under their intervention, these people, including the old man's walking stick, wouldn't be able to land on Ling Feng's head anytime soon!
Immediately, Ling Feng coldly said to Wang Zhongping, "Your boss instructed you to sign contracts with the villagers and then immediately disburse the demolition compensation. Have you fulfilled this task?"
His words landed.
The Village Chief, who was about to curse and fight, was instantly dumbfounded!
"What?!"
The old man holding the walking stick lowered it, his face flushed as he glared at Ling Feng.
Several young men nearby quickly tried to placate him. "Hey, hey, Grandpa, please don't get angry!"
"My dear Grandpa, please don't have an incident here. Your house is the largest. If you get too upset, what about all this money?"
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, please calm down!"
The young men around him were all flattering.
But the old man was hot-tempered. He pushed aside the few people next to him and stared at Ling Feng, asking, "What did you just say? The demolition compensation can be disbursed immediately?"
"Impossible! How can that be?" Wang Zhongping suddenly snapped back to reality.
He quickly interjected, then forced a laugh at the villagers. "Heh, have you ever heard of demolition compensation being disbursed immediately upon signing a contract? What kind of foolish real estate company would do that! Moreover, it's several hundred million yuan, it can't possibly be disbursed on demand, right?"
The villagers were stunned again and then glared at Ling Feng with anger.
Clearly, they all felt they had been tricked by Ling Feng!
