Chapter 577: Someone is Playing Tricks
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Someone is playing tricks!”
In the next second, Jian Ai and Bai Zhou said in unison.
Since both of them thought of this, it meant that someone was deliberately making things difficult for East Sea Real Estate.
“Sect Master, who do you think it is?” Bai Zhou looked at Jian Ai and asked.
Jian Ai frowned and fell into deep thought. East Sea Real Estate had just been established and had quickly formed a strategic partnership with Century Group. The company never competed or clashed with other companies on projects.
The only party she had offended was the Jian Group.
In fact, it shouldn’t be even considered as offending them. It was just that there was a strong tension between them during the two auctions, and they had snatched two pieces of land that the Jian Group had taken a liking to.
Jian Ai was not too sure. Would a big corporation like the Jian Group take the newly established East Sea Real Estate seriously?
Although Jian Changsheng was an annoying and petty person, if he did such a thing, it would be too disgusting.
“Could it be the Jian Group?” Bai Zhou tried to guess.
After all, he was thinking the same thing as Jian Ai. Although East Sea Real Estate had stolen the limelight twice at the auction, it had always been quiet. Other than the Jian Group, they had no conflicts with other companies.
Jian Ai thought for a long time before asking in confusion, “Why?”
If it was the Jian Group, why would they do this?
Could it be…
Jian Ai took a deep breath. “It’s possible that the Jian Group also thought of an amusement park project.”
“If that’s the case, the Jian Group might have taken a liking to that piece of land in the southern suburbs!”
When Bai Zhou heard this, his eyes immediately widened. “You’re saying that not only did we unintentionally have the same project idea as the Jian Group, but we also unintentionally snatched the land they wanted?”
Jian Ai pursed her lips and thought for a while before muttering, “I’m just guessing. Moreover, this guess is based on the premise that the Jian Group did this. If the Jian Group is indeed behind this, then that can only be the reason. Otherwise, could he be angry at us for the previous incident and try to trip us up? That would be too lame!”
Jian Changsheng was the CEO of a big corporation. Unless it involved his own interests, he wouldn’t use such a boring trick.
“I’ll get someone to check if there’s any news about the Jian Group developing an amusement park project,” Bai Zhou said.
Jian Ai nodded. If she wanted to figure this out, she could only do so.
However, she could not delay the project. She had already signed a contract with Century Group. If she delayed it for another day, it would cause damage to both companies.
“Bai Zhou, settle this project. No matter who’s playing dirty behind the scenes, we have to let them know they can’t touch East Sea Real Estate,” Jian Ai said to Bai Zhou.
She also knew that Bai Zhou could settle the relationship with the higher-ups.
Bai Zhou nodded and continued to make calls.
Xiao Zhen and Si Yuehan listened to their conversation the entire time and were puzzled.
The two of them were people with no desires and had cold personalities. They were not interested in the scheming business world and did not understand it.
However, the two of them were thinking about a question. Why did the Sect Master have to go through so much trouble? If she lacked money, she could just tell Bai Zhou. After all, Qiusi was a palm-sized country with GDP ranked in the top ten in the world.
Although Bai Zhou had little ability, apart from being good-looking, he was still very rich.
