CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 37: BREAKTHROUGH

Ye Feng felt a hint of excitement in his heart, as he had not encountered obstacles for several years.

You see, since Ye Feng had ascended to the status of a legend after a battle, everything he did was effortlessly accomplished.

Zhao Wenbin, being impeccably honest at this moment, did not give Ye Feng any face, preventing him momentarily from acquiring the land and hitting a wall, which instead made Ye Feng feel challenged and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Zhao Wenbin is courting death! What does he think he is, a mere land manager, daring to disregard Mr. Ye?" Zheng Yonggang was incredibly furious.

Ye Feng, however, waved his hand and said indifferently, "Alright, finish your meal quickly. After eating, come with me to meet Zhao Wenbin, I will meet him in person!"

Zheng Yonggang and Zhao Ziming nodded and quietly started to eat.

At half-past two in the afternoon, Ye Feng, Zheng Yonggang, and Zhao Ziming arrived at the land management office.

Then, Zhao Wenbin’s secretary stood at the door of the office. Zheng Yonggang approached the secretary and said, "Secretary Li, could you please announce a visit, say ’Mr. Ye of Lin Company requests an audience!’"

Secretary Li had met Zheng Yonggang before and even seen Zheng Yonggang’s deference in front of Ye Feng, so naturally, he guessed that Ye Feng was no ordinary person.

Secretary Li nodded, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and announce your arrival."

In no time, Secretary Li came out and said to Ye Feng and Zheng Yonggang, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zhao is currently hosting some guests. Mr. Zhao suggested if you don’t mind, you could join them for the discussion."

"Mhm!" Ye Feng nodded and then led Zheng Yonggang and others into the office.

Inside the office, working at a desk, sat a middle-aged man of slender build, with a crew cut and wearing gold eyeglasses. This middle-aged man was Zhao Wenbin, the head of the Land Management Office in Lin Tian City.

Across Zhao Wenbin’s desk, there were three sofas, on one of which sat another middle-aged man.

"Oh?" Upon seeing this middle-aged man, a flash of surprise crossed Ye Feng’s eyes.

This man was none other than Wan Tianhua, whom Ye Feng had just met not long ago. Wan Tianhua looked at Ye Feng, revealing a smile, "Mr. Ye, we meet again..."

Ye Feng ignored Wan Tianhua, seeing him as just a secondary player and a businessman, not worth his attention, and instead looked toward Zhao Wenbin.

Before Ye Feng could speak, Zhao Wenbin spoke first, "You all are here for Golden Dragon Group’s piece of land, sit down, let’s discuss it together..."

Ye Feng nodded, surprised that Wan Tianhua was here for the same piece of land, but what Ye Feng intended to accomplish was unlikely to be hindered by merely Wan Tianhua.

The three of them sat on a sofa, and Zhao Wenbin looked at Ye Feng and Wan Tianhua and spoke.

"Just a while ago, it was decided that the piece of land from Golden Dragon Group will be sold to Wan Family!" Zhao Wenbin stated indifferently.

"Why! What did Wan Family offer you? Lin Group could have made a better offer. Are you not going to give Mr. Ye a chance to compete?" Zheng Yonggang anxiously said.

Zhao Wenbin shook his head, "I’ve already listened to President Wan’s development plans for that piece of land. President Wan and I have reached a consensus. I think President Wan can maximize the value of that land, and the price he offered is also very reasonable, so Lin Group can forget about it this time..."

Ye Feng looked at Zhao Wenbin, his expression unreadable, "Mr. Zhao, won’t you reconsider? If you choose to cooperate with Lin Group, we can offer the same price. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, just speak up, and I’ll definitely help."

Ye Feng’s tone was very calm, yet filled with immense pride and confidence.

Additionally, the aura of a dominant figure exuded by Ye Feng even instilled a hint of fear in Zhao Wenbin.

The calmer Ye Feng appeared, the more authoritative and confident he seemed.

Yet, in Zhao Wenbin’s eyes, Ye Feng’s attitude was simply arrogant, considering Ye Feng’s youth and such defiance. Zhao Wenbin, being the head of the Lin Tian City Land Management Office, had encountered troubles that even he couldn’t resolve; how could a young man like Ye Feng possibly...

Zhao Wenbin scoffed, "Mr. Ye, I know you have a powerful background with the Lin Family supporting you, but don’t think the Lin Family can let you do whatever you want in Lin Tian City. And don’t bring up Lord Liu Mu to pressure me! Lord Liu Mu is a warrior from the Southern Border, and we are in different departments—he has no authority over me!"

Wan Tianhua laughed cheerfully, "Mr. Ye, you might as well give up arguing. Mr. Zhao has already made his decision, anything you say isn’t going to change it!"

Ye Feng simply ignored Wan Tianhua and looked at Zhao Wenbin, "Zhao Wenbin, if you think the Lin Family is all I have behind me, then you are mistaken. My abilities are beyond your imagination. If you grant me this favor today, I guarantee you’ll never regret it."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Wenbin grew ever more dismissive. "Ye Feng, I’ve said it before, I will not sell that piece of land to Lin Group. Don’t even think about it. It wouldn’t make a difference today, even if the head of Dragon Country were here, I would not change my mind and sell Golden Dragon Group’s land to you!"

Hearing Zhao Wenbin’s words, anger arose within Ye Feng. This was the first time in years that someone had so blatantly disrespected him.

Just then, Zhao Wenbin’s phone rang, and he answered the call.

"Not good, my father’s illness has flared up again, I must go to the hospital now," Zhao Wenbin said, then ignoring Ye Feng without even a goodbye, he hurriedly left the office.

Wan Tianhua quickly added, "Mr. Zhao, let me go with you and see how uncle is doing!"

Soon after, Wan Tianhua and Zhao Wenbin both left the office.

Zheng Yonggang trembled with anger, "Bastard, that Zhao Wenbin dares to disrespect Mr. Ye, I really hope his father’s illness doesn’t get better!"

"Oh?" A glint of interest appeared in Ye Feng’s eyes as he asked calmly, "What illness does Zhao Wenbin’s father have?"

Zheng Yonggang replied, "It’s not particularly uncommon. Many people in Lin Tian City know that Zheng Yonggang’s father, when he was younger, was a warrior at the frontier. During a battle, he was poisoned by the enemy, a poison that couldn’t be eliminated. Over the years, whenever the poison acted up, he suffered excruciating pain."
