"After we cooperate with the Su Group, the demolition work for the Chengdong Development Zone will begin, and it is expected to officially start construction in two months."
"Did anyone else come to stop it?" Jiang Che asked curiously. When he bid for this project, he had offended many people. Such a big piece of cake was eaten up directly by him…
"Thanks to the cooperative relationship with the Su Group, no one will find fault," Chen Xuewei replied, now understanding why Jiang Che insisted on partnering with Su Qingyue. It turned out that they hadn't sent money to anyone but had borrowed Su Qingyue's influence instead. Without the support of Su Batiao, the richest man, the demolition work would not have gone so smoothly.
"Um." Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction; his decision was indeed the right one. "Is there anything else to report?"
"Yes," Chen Xuewei continued. "The technology department has developed a new milk product and invited popular stars to endorse it. We'll need Mr. Jiang to attend the press conference."
"Milk product..." Jiang Che narrowed his eyes slightly as Chen Xuewei's words triggered a thought. "System, do you have any pills like a Beauty Pill?"
In urban novels, elixirs that enhance beauty were indispensable. In the original book, Ye Chen got hold of such a recipe, but that didn't happen until thousands of chapters in.
The system store has what the host wants. The host can check it himself.
After hearing the system's response, Jiang Che entered the system store and searched for "Beauty Pill."
Beauty Pill: 500 plot points...
It can enhance beauty, maintain health, moisturize the skin, and repair facial scars…
Without hesitation, Jiang Che exchanged 500 plot points for the Beauty Pill.
500 plot points have been deducted. Exchange complete.
He handed the golden Beauty Pill to Chen Xuewei and smiled at her puzzled expression. "This is called a Beauty Pill. Take it and let the people in the technical department analyze it carefully."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang." Although a little confused, Chen Xuewei didn't press for details. She took the pill and left with long strides.
In the Su Family Courtyard, inside the opulent villa's living room, Su Yuan, the elder of the Su family, frowned as he looked at the young man sitting on the opposite sofa.
"Are you really Deng Zhenren's personal disciple?" Mr. Su scrutinized Xiao Han suspiciously. If it weren't for the marriage letter that Xiao Han had shown him, he would have thought this guy was just a beggar…
After all, Xiao Han was dressed in tatters, making it hard not to misunderstand him.
"Yes, I am his disciple," Xiao Han replied confidently. "My name is Xiao Han, and I'm here to divorce your granddaughter, Su Qingyue."
"I'm not the kind of person destined for any woman," he said haughtily, his nose almost in the air.
Having never met Su Qingyue before, Xiao Han had no idea she was a well-known beauty. He simply wanted to end their engagement and focus on exploring the world outside.
He had been confined to the mountains for over twenty years and had never truly experienced the allure of city life. How could he possibly think about marriage right now?
So, he came with the intention of annulling his engagement to Su Qingyue!
But upon hearing Xiao Han's words, Mr. Su's expression darkened.
What was this? The kid was truly audacious! Su Wenzheng held a high status in Jiangbei City, and no one ever dared to speak to him in such a manner.
Because Xiao Han had lived on the mountain since childhood, he was completely unaware of the proper etiquette. His master had been too busy with cultivation to teach him any manners.
Thus, every word and action from Xiao Han exuded a sense of vulgarity, lacking any refinement—he was just like a savage!
"You need to wait for Qingyue to return, and then both of you can cancel the engagement in person," Su Wenzheng said, taking a deep breath to suppress the anger rising within him.
Even though he had initiated this engagement for Su Qingyue, he still needed to inform her before they could annul it.
Though, in truth, the other party had no idea about this from start to finish...
"When will she be back?" Xiao Han asked nonchalantly as he picked up a handful of grapes from the table and began eating them, casually spitting the skins onto the floor.
Seeing this, Su Wenzheng's mouth twitched, and his expression became even more displeased.
This guy really had no manners at all!
However, he found it difficult to say anything. After all, Zhenren Deng had been kind to him in the past.
At that moment, a voice called out from the door, "Grandpa, I'm back!"
With the sound of high-heeled shoes hitting the ground, Su Qingyue's figure appeared at the entrance.
Xiao Han turned his head curiously to look over. The moment he laid eyes on her, he was instantly stunned.
The grapes in his hand fell to the floor with a soft thud.
