In the Jiangnan Province of the Zhao Family, after more than a decade of hard work and extensive connections, Zhao He firmly believed that this small matter was absolutely not a problem for him. He never thought anyone would dare to target him over this issue. He was still the Zhao Zi who did as he pleased.
However, to be on the safe side, Zhao He decided to call a leader he knew.
Beep, beep.
The call connected, and the voice on the other end was very warm. After some casual chit-chat, Zhao He got straight to the point and casually asked, "Director Sun, do you have any news about the Most Beautiful Farm event?"
On the other end, there was suddenly a silence that made Zhao He furrow his brow in concern. After a long pause, the voice finally spoke again: "Xiao Zhao, you wouldn’t be the Wulong Champion from the Most Beautiful Farm, would you?"
"Wulong Champion?" Zhao He's eyes lit up as he keenly noticed the detail in Director Sun's address. Taking a deep breath, he replied with a faint smile, "That's me."
Upon hearing this, the other side fell into another long silence. After a while, just as Zhao He was about to lose his patience, Director Sun spoke again: "Xiao Zhao, this matter is quite complicated. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you much."
What? Zhao He was shocked. Even someone of Director Sun's status couldn't assist him?
"What is going on?" Zhao He was perplexed. The Most Beautiful Farm event was a niche program that had been running for many years without causing much of a stir. Why had his involvement suddenly made things so complicated?
Zhao He felt a twinge of frustration; he desperately needed the title of Most Beautiful Farm Summer Country Region Champion. Gritting his teeth, he tentatively probed Director Sun's bottom line once more.
On the other end, there was a prolonged silence. Finally, Director Sun sighed softly and said, "Xiao Zhao, if there's nothing else, let's end this call. I have work tomorrow."
Hearing Director Sun's distant and cold words sent a chill through Zhao He. He wasn't foolish; he could sense the dismissal in Director Sun's tone. Clearly, Director Sun no longer wanted to be involved in this matter.
"How could this happen?" Zhao He gritted his teeth as he hung up the phone, his eyes slightly reddening as he recalled Chen Xuan's tall, handsome figure and outstanding demeanor.
Stunned for a moment, Zhao He muttered to himself, "Damn it, does Chen Xuan have some background I don't know about?"
With that thought in mind, Zhao He decided to find someone to investigate Chen Xuan's identity and background. Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the number, Zhao He immediately answered with utmost respect: "Hello?"
A calm middle-aged man's voice came through the phone: "I heard you've been working on a farm project and are planning to participate in the Most Beautiful Farm event?"
"Yes," Zhao He replied without hesitation, detailing everything he had been doing.
After listening, the man on the other end said lightly, "You've done well. Although it cost quite a bit, the commercial prospects are vast. This venture is worth investing in."
Zhao He felt a surge of joy at this praise and was about to respond when he was interrupted.
The man's tone suddenly shifted. "However, you've crossed paths with someone you shouldn't have. Mayor Huang is very angry. I've flown back overnight to apologize to him."
"This matter ends here; don't pursue it any further, understand?"
With that, the middle-aged man hung up the phone.
Just like that? Zhao He was taken aback and felt quite displeased. He thought to himself that he had spent millions to reach this point; how could it just end like that?
He felt unwilling to accept it.
Suddenly, the name he had just heard flashed through his mind.
Mayor Huang?
Zhao He froze, his expression changing drastically as he recalled something. Could it be that renowned Huang Family?
