69 -69 I Have Something to Say!_1
Li Mingtong threw the trouble at the Investment and Promotion departments, but as it involved the issue of hoarding, it was also part of publicity, clearly pointing directly at the Promotion Department!
Chen Daya had no mind to argue with him, hastily nodded, and scurried off to greet the leaders.
Li Mingtong followed behind, a sinister and triumphant smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
The hoarding was replaced under Li Mingtong’s instructions with one from a small workshop found on the street, crudely made and extremely vulgar.
To be honest, after it was installed, Li Mingtong took a look and felt disgusted, it was an insult to the project.
What if it were to catch the eye of a master who treasured his own work?
Ever since Master Song Kai lost his temper last time, Li Mingtong had done his homework.
Master Song Kai, a man who revered humanism and despised rigidity and the overly strong scent of commerce, cherished his work immensely!
Li Mingtong did this deliberately, it wasn’t clever, nor was it a tactic, but it was the most direct and effective way.
The master, who hadn’t met Bai Xiaosheng before, would have a terrible first impression upon learning of Bai Xiaosheng’s association with that hoarding!
The first impression between people is incredibly important, and to change it afterward is difficult!
And this was just the beginning!
Li Mingtong felt proud in his heart.
The game was his, Li Mingtong, to play and to control.
Even if it involved Master Song Kai, he was just another piece in the game!
The same went for Shang Wenshu and Wang Ye!
Thinking of all this excited Li Mingtong to the point of feeling a feverish heat all over.
Chen Daya ran to the entrance of the marketing center and was met by Master Song Kai and his entourage.
He stole a glance and saw that the faces of the few leaders behind were none too pleased.
On the contrary, the normally hot-tempered master seemed to be in a better mood—at least he wasn’t showing anger.
“Master, please come this way.
The leaders can first go to the conference room to rest their feet.
We’ve prepared some refreshments there,” Chen Daya said with a cautious smile.
Master Song Kai and District Chief Wu politely nodded at Chen Daya and headed to the conference room led by the staff.
Taking advantage of this moment, Shang Wenshu pulled Chen Daya aside, his brows knotted, he urgently whispered.
“What’s with that hoarding!”
It couldn’t be such a coincidence that such a thing was switched right when the master arrived!
Shang Wenshu was somewhat annoyed, knowing that Wang Ye also revered the master too much to interfere, which resulted in his complacency.
As expected, trouble had arisen!
“Li Mingtong said it was an unauthorized change by the Investment Department and the Promotion Department, but in my view, the Promotion Department is going to take the fall.
Li Mingtong is clearly targeting Bai Xiaosheng,” Chen Daya whispered urgently.
“Could Mrs.
Wang also have…”
“No,” Shang Wenshu waved his hand.
Wang Ye was accustomed to arrogance and despotism, the tactics she was personally involved in were always straightforward and forceful.
She wouldn’t stoop to these petty tricks, and besides, these weren’t clever moves!
Shang Wenshu remembered the shock and anger in Wang Ye’s eyes then, which were genuine.
According to Chen Daya, it looked more like Li Mingtong had acted unilaterally…
Shang Wenshu, who always kept an eye on the project, was also aware of the conflict between Li Mingtong and Bai Xiaosheng.
It’s just that he hadn’t expected the conflict to escalate to the point where Li Mingtong dared to play tricks right in front of Wang Ye!
“Capsizing in a gutter, Wang Ye, you have moments when you can’t control the situation,” Shang Wenshu lamented and, with a nod towards Chen Daya, rushed to the conference room.
At this moment, Wang Ye was grabbing Li Mingtong, his eyes full of fury.
“Speak, what’s the deal with that enclosure?
It’s related to you, isn’t it!” Wang Ye exclaimed with overflowing menace.
“It was Bai Xiaosheng!” Li Mingtong stated with certainty, “A couple of days ago, I arranged a meeting for him with the investment and logistics departments to discuss publicity.
You can look into this—it’s true.
I really don’t know how they ended up doing it like that!”
Li Mingtong’s face showed his chagrin, as if it really had nothing to do with him.
Wang Ye’s gaze was chilling, staring straight at Li Mingtong, making Li Mingtong’s heart tremble with unease.
This kind of lie might fool others, but it was far from enough to deceive a person of Wang Ye’s caliber.
Li Mingtong suddenly felt that his lie was a bit foolish.
“Now that things have come to this, I don’t want any more trouble,” Wang Ye said darkly, looking at Li Mingtong and firmly patting him on the shoulder with such force that it hurt Li Mingtong.
After speaking, Wang Ye turned and left.
Unable to help himself, Li Mingtong swallowed hard, silently following behind.
The plan that had seemed flawless to him was now fraught with great risk.
But if it means hurting myself, I’ll make sure you, Bai Xiaosheng, suffer even more!
A vicious look appeared in Li Mingtong’s eyes—he didn’t want to stop.
The main conference room, had been attentively decorated, with excellent tea and snacks laid out.
However, Master Song Kai, hands clasped behind his back, looked with interest at the aerial view and landscape renderings on the wall, sometimes contemplative, sometimes revealing a hint of a smile.
It seemed the Master’s mood was good, unaffected by that enclosure!
District Chief Wu Qibing let out a sigh of relief and relaxed, leisurely sipping his tea.
Shang Wenshu, Chen Daya, Wang Ye, Li Mingtong one after another entered the meeting room.
Seeing Master Song Kai observing the project diagrams, they didn’t dare interrupt and waited patiently on the side.
“Oh, you’ve arrived.”
After a while, Master Song Kai, noticing everyone, apologised with a smile, “Look at this old man, just absorbed in his little hobby.
Sometimes I get too engrossed, please forgive me, everyone.”
The Master was indeed a Master, humble and polite.
The crowd responded with polite laughter.
“I’ve had a general look around, and you improved many details this month, which is very good,” Master Song Kai said, surveying the group, “I always emphasize that commerce must be based on people, on the human experience—that’s what makes a project last.
All I want is for my work to endure a bit longer.”
Master Song Kai’s words had everyone nodding in agreement.
“Master, you always have such high aspirations!” District Chief Wu Qibing nodded and smiled, but when he turned to Shang Wenshu and the others, his expression became serious, “Mr.
Shang, Mrs.
Wang, we’re all familiar faces here, so I’ll be frank.”
“Please speak, District Chief Wu.”
Shang Wenshu and Wang Ye promptly responded.
“A project’s details are not only about architecture and design—even something as small as a temporary enclosure can’t be too shoddy.
Like that one we saw earlier, can you assure me no investors have seen it?
What would they think of our project that claims to integrate commerce and culture, if that’s the standard?”
District Chief Wu spoke earnestly, emphasizing, “You must listen and take to heart the Master’s advice!”
District Chief Wu Qibing, in front of Master Song Kai, brought up the very issue he knew the Master would have addressed himself.
He knew his teacher was straightforward and would likely bring it up, so it was better for him as a student to offer the reminder.
Shang Wenshu and Wang Ye quickly nodded their agreement.
Master Song Kai, expressionless.
The matter seemed about to be put to rest.
“District Chief Wu, I have something to say!” Li Mingtong, who had been silent, suddenly stepped forward.
