Zhou Hengguang remained engrossed in reading documents, patiently awaiting the arrival of their dishes at the window booth on the second floor of Rong Jingxuan Restaurant. Since his return from Clear Water County, he had diligently planned and personally overseen the initial stages of renovation. Known for his commitment to efficiency, Zhou Hengguang ensured that once the plan was set, the renovation team swiftly commenced work on the site. Follow-up tasks, including investments and publicity, needed to be executed within a specific timeframe. As the responsibility now solely rested on his shoulders, he had fully taken charge as the eldest brother.
Seated across from Zhou Hengguang were Secretary Ji Fang and Factory Manager Pan Yi. Engaged in discussions about the factory’s affairs, Pan Yi expressed admiration for Zhou Hengguang’s strategic thinking.
Ji Fang, accustomed to his leader’s exceptional abilities, remained nonchalant. After all, his boss was no ordinary person.
“Have you selected the construction team?” Zhou Hengguang inquired.
“Not yet,” replied Pan Yi. Given that his responsibilities did not involve engineering and construction, he lacked connections in this domain. Moreover, the stringent preferences of the top executives posed an additional challenge. “I’ve contacted several companies, but they didn’t meet your requirements.”
Ji Fang quickly raised his hand, saying, “1 have. Our design institute handles construction projects regularly, and all our construction projects hold provincial qualifications.”
Pan Yi admired Zhou Hengguang and Ji Fang even more, with a special admiration for the boss who managed to retain such talent. Ji Fang, a mere secretary, displayed remarkable capabilities.
Zhou Hengguang, engrossed in his documents, instructed, “Inform them to participate in the bidding.”
Ji Fang hesitated, “Director, is it necessary to invite bids? Although the Clear Water County project is substantial, the primary construction is already complete. We’re tasked with the subsequent transformation. Given your standing in the industry, companies will be happy to collaborate with us. Inviting bids for such a minor project might be perceived as excessive.” Ji Fang is a sincere and straightforward young man who avoids wielding influence over others.
Zhou Hengguang looked up, a dangerous sneer playing on his lips. “Spread the word that the boss behind the Clear Water County project is the owner of
Xiangshan Lake. I guarantee many will compete fiercely for the Clear Water County project, even if it’s not a lucrative deal.”
Ji Fang was initially frightened but soon grew excited. “Director, you’re truly the best. Since the big boss acquired the land at Xiangshan Lake, the entire industry has been in a frenzy. Everyone wants to join the project!”
Given the extensive land and lake, the anticipated investment was a staggering sum that anyone would find tempting. Moreover, rumours suggested that industry giant Zhou Hengguang would personally oversee the Xiangshan Lake project, adding an extra layer of assurance.
Despite Ji Fang having to report to the design institute, he remains well-informed, boasting a wide network of acquaintances.
Zhou Hengguang continued reading, unfazed. Suddenly, a familiar voice reached his ears. “Is that Big Brother’s voice?”
“It’s the big boss’s.”
“I am right.”
Ji Fang and Pan Yi could distinguish the commanding tone of the big boss’s voice. It exuded depth, steadiness, and authority, a voice that would move a woman and reassure a man, making him feel he had a reliable brother by his side..
