Peach Luck Village-Chapter 195 Xu Weiqiang Requests
"What? Four billion?"
"Are you sure itβs Lin Tian from Hope Street, Labor Lane, with no mistake?"
"This..."
Xu Weiqiang was stunned. ππ«ππ²πππ―ππ¨π§ππ.ππ π¦
The godson he looked down upon was actually so wealthy.
He had always thought that Lin Tian only had a little money, at most no more than a million.
And thatβs not to be considered little.
Without relying on his family and only on himself, to be able to come up with a million yuan in his twenties was already quite admirable.
Although, in some peopleβs mouths, a million is just that, nothing special.
But when it came to him, maybe he couldnβt even come up with ten thousand yuan.
Of course, for Xu Weiqiang, a million was nothing.
If he had the guts to go for it, he could get ten million, or even twenty million.
The bosses with a net worth of tens of millions in Jinhe District were just about qualified to toast him.
No, not even qualified to offer him a toast.
Therefore, Xu Weiqiang had never paid any attention to anything concerning Lin Tian.
He also hadnβt asked Zhang Yumei to inquire about him.
He had treated Lin Tian as air, completely ignoring him.
Lin Tian had always been low-key, which also made him easy to overlook by those who didnβt know well.
Until today!
And as a leader in Jinhe District who carried some weight, how could Xu Weiqiang not pay attention to significant events in Jinhe District?
He knew about it immediately.
Then, there was the scene at the beginning.
Stunned.
Regretful.
He shouldnβt have given Lin Tian a hard time just because Lin Tian ruined his plan.
It cost him a powerful ally.
Otherwise, for him to move even half a step higher on his own would be very difficult now.
To rise from a young man with no background in a small alley to where he was now, he must have had his ancestorsβ blessing and caught the tailwind of the times.
If it was now, it would be questionable whether he could secure a permanent job.
Even if he did, he would probably just be an ordinary clerk for life, with no chance to stand out.
...
Xu Weiqiang was in agony now.
He didnβt want to swallow his pride and ask Lin Tian for anything.
But his thirst for power was so strong; he wanted to possess more, greater power.
In the end, his desire for power overcame everything.
A great man is able to be flexible.
Thatβs what Xu Weiqiang thought. Heβd first use Lin Tianβs influence in Jinhe District to increase his own.
He would use Lin Tian to get close to the city leaders and pave the way for his own promotion.
Once the day came when he got what he wanted,
and Lin Tian was no longer useful to him, he could show Lin Tian just how formidable he was.
Having made up his mind, Xu Weiqiang dialed Zhang Yumeiβs number, asking her to call Lin Tian and invite him for dinner at their home that evening.
"Hmph!"
Zhang Yumei snorted heavily, "No way, Iβm not making that call. You do it yourself."
It wasnβt her who disregarded Lin Tian back then.
Lin Tian had been good to her and to her family; she didnβt want to make things difficult for him.
Xu Weiqiang said helplessly, "Fine, Iβll call. Send me Lin Tianβs number."
"But if Lin Tian agrees, you should come home early to cook. No problem, right?"
Zhang Yumei nodded, "No problem."
After reaching an agreement, Zhang Yumei gave Xu Weiqiang Lin Tianβs number.
After hanging up, Xu Weiqiang dialed Lin Tianβs number.
"Who is it?"
"Xu Weiqiang?"
"You want to invite me to dinner at your home tonight?"
Not earlier, not later, but today, after he struck a deal with the district, came the dinner invitation.
Lin Tian couldnβt help but suspect the reason behind Xu Weiqiangβs 180-degree change in attitude, inviting him to dinner.
Itβs not wrong to be pragmatic.
In consideration of Zhang Yumei, it was not impossible.
But if Xu Weiqiang was ungrateful and practical with him,
then he couldnβt blame Lin Tian for being hard on him, to make Zhang Yumei happy.
At seven in the evening, Lin Tian drove to the community where Xu Weiqiangβs parents lived.
It had been ten years since the alley where Xu Weiqiangβs parents lived was demolished and they moved into the resettlement housing.
Xu Weiqiang was not a native of Hope Street.
Originally, he was just assigned to work at Hope Street.
It was for work convenience that he bought a house in Labor Lane, becoming a member of Labor Lane.
Later, for his marriage, he even had the house in Labor Lane rebuilt.
Nice and tidy, with a separate yard, living there was much more comfortable than in an apartment complex.
So, Xu Weiqiang and Zhang Yumei never moved out.
It wasnβt because they couldnβt afford a new house.
As early as ten years ago, Xu Weiqiang had already purchased new properties in Jinhe District, in the city center and even in the provincial capital.
But they bought those properties not to live in, but as investments.
