Chapter 220
"Brother Henry, I really don't know how to thank you for what happened this time." Amity looked at Henry gratefully.
"It's okay, silly. Don't thank me anymore. You deserve it. If Homer didn't give you this car, I wouldn't be able to give you this 1.5 million, would I?" Henry rubbed the head of Amity and said, "All right, take your father to pay back the money."
"Yes." Amity nodded vigorously.
"By the way," Henry suddenly stopped both of them and said, "Uncle Qiu, I'm not as old as you, but I have more experience in some aspects. Gambling is a matter of luck. You may lose most of your bets. Now that everything has returned to the starting point, it would be best to stop. Amity has grown up, and soon she will reach the age of discussing marriage. You should worry about her."
"I understand, I understand." Mark nodded repeatedly. "I won't gamble after returning the money this time."
"Okay."
Henry nodded. After the father and daughter had gone far, he looked at the two people's backs and shook his head. If the father could really quit the gamble, that would be great. He was afraid that he couldn't quit.
Henry finished dealing with this matter and looked at the time. It was already noon.
After thinking for a while, Henry called Sylvia. "Honey, how are you doing?"
"Husband..." Sylvia's voice on the phone was full of apologies. "Can we put our plan slightly aside? I have something to deal with, and I can't handle it in a short time."
"Okay, it's up to you." Henry didn't mean to blame Sylvia at all. For him, it didn't matter where he went. As long as he was with Sylvia, the scenery would be beautiful wherever he was.
"Honey, thank you," Sylvia said sweetly on the phone.
Henry's heart almost melted when he heard the sweet voice on the phone.
In the office of the village party, in the suburbs.
Sylvia looked at the man in front of her and said coldly, "So, you want to break the contract unilaterally?"
"Not unilaterally." A middle-aged man smiled and said, "President Lin, we are farmers, so we don't know much about these things. We dug out the spring in the mountains before, but we didn't know how valuable it is. Now, so many companies are rushing to build a holiday villa in our place. Compared with other prices, your offer is a bit low."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket. His meaning was very obvious. He had already expressed that there would be no deal.
"You're shameless!" Cathy Lee, Sylvia's secretary, said angrily, "How didn't you know the value? At that time, we have already made it clear to you. Now our Lins Group has paid for the complete repair of the road outside your village. Are you going to terminate the contract? If we didn't build the road, which company would work with you?"
"Secretary Lee, you're being unreasonable." The middle-aged man sneered. "The road outside our village was built by your Family Lin. We didn't ask you to do it."
"Okay, that's it." Sylvia closed the document in her hand. "Secretary Zhao, I wish you pleasant cooperation with other companies."
Sylvia got up and turned to leave.
"President Lin, take care and I won't see you off." Secretary Zhao didn't even move.
After Sylvia and Cathy Lee left, Secretary Zhao took out the phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Mr Zheng, it's me. She was here. I refused. Right, yes, yes, yes. Mr. Zheng, look at the money you mentioned last time... Ah, yes, yes."
Secretary Zhao made a phone call, and his face was as happy as the wrinkles of chrysanthemum.
Sylvia and Cathy went out of the office of the municipal party committee. When she got in the car, Cathy was still very angry.
"President Lin, that Zhao is deliberately making trouble. At first, he said if we paid for the road, we could build a holiday villa in the village. It's shameless of him to do so! If he really let other companies take this project, we will lose at least one billion yuan, and the mountain spring was also discovered by us!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Sylvia sat in the back seat and touched her forehead with her delicate hands. "Get in touch with President Qin of Hengyuan. This time, I really need her help."
"President Lin, do you want to..."
"Well, the person behind President Qin should have a solution. Now let's see if that person is willing to help us."
"President Lin, there will be a business gathering tomorrow. President Qin should be there. You can talk to her about this at the party," Cathy said, glancing at the schedule.
"Okay, then I'll talk to her face to face tomorrow."
Henry drove the Maserati home. After informing Wade to come and pick up the car, he ran into the house and cleaned up the house thoroughly.
As soon as he finished cleaning the room, Henry received a call from Jenny Qin before he had time to rest.
"Busy man, what are you doing?" Jenny's soft voice came over the phone.
"What's there to be busy doing? I'm so bored that I can't wait to die."
"Really? You don't even know to call me when you're free. You don't have a friend like me in your heart. Hey, don't forget, you still need to be in touch with me regarding business. If I am not satisfied, your wife will punish you." Jenny joked, but when she spoke, Jenny felt a burst of sadness in her heart.
Henry forced a smile and said, "What's wrong, beauty Qin? Why did you call me all of a sudden? Are you treating me to dinner?"
"Invite you for dinner? Well, will you come here?" Jenny deliberately asked.
"Er..." Henry was a little embarrassed. "Well... let's wait for another day. We don't have much time today."
"With a beautiful woman like President Lin, how can you take time to accompany this little woman when you are busy?" There was a hidden bitterness in Jenny's words.
"Of course not. You're as pretty as her," Henry said hurriedly.
"Hey." Jenny sighed on the phone. "You are a hypocritical man. You must be lying. By the way, there will be a business gathering tomorrow. Will you attend it? Because of the blast, a few seniors want to see you. I guess your wife will also attend it."
"Okay." Hearing that Sylvia would go, Henry agreed directly, "See you at tomorrow's party."
"Okay."
Hanging up the phone, Henry prepared dinner and waited for Sylvia to come back.
It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when Sylvia entered the house. When Henry saw her, he saw the exhaustion on the woman's face.
"Did you go to talk business again?" Henry poured a cup of tea for her after Sylvia leaned on the sofa, and then sat next to her. "You should have a good rest for a while."
"There are a lot of things to do recently, honey. I have a party tomorrow. After I'm done with my work, let's go for a trip, okay?" Sylvia held Henry's arm and snuggled upon his shoulder.
