Chapter 289: Deal With It
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zou Bai did not plan to turn a big issue into a small one. He stood up and clapped his hands. Li Gang immediately took off his coat and walked forward quickly, handing it over with both hands.
Zou Bai lowered his eyes and glanced at it. He reached out to take it naturally, wiped his hands, and threw it back to Li Gang. He said indifferently, “I brought my family to the city managed by Mayor Li to look at the sea on the weekend. 1 didn’t expect to encounter such a terrible thing. My daughter was almost kidnapped to Mayor Li’s house. Is this considered robbery?”
The word “daughter” made Li Gang a little confused. He remembered that Zou Bai was not married yet. How did he have a daughter? However, he could not waste time thinking about this now. He thought that Zou Bai had an illegitimate child behind his family’s back.
Now, Zou Bai once again pulled his gaze back to the beginning of the matter. Li Gang knew that if he didn’t shed a layer of skin this time, Zou Bai probably wouldn’t stop.
Beads of sweat began to appear on Li Gang’s forehead. He waved his hand and asked the people who followed him to wait in the distance, leaving only his family of three and Huang Jin’s family.
After seeing them leave, Li Gang spoke again with a nervous expression. “Fourth Master, 1 didn’t teach my son well. Can you spare Little Yuan on account that I’ll do some errands for the Zou family? I’m almost 50 years old and I only have this son at such an old age. 1’11 definitely teach him well in the future!”
“I know that half a year ago, you came to Lin City and saw a piece of land in the eastern suburbs. You’ve always wanted to make an Eastern version of Disney. I’m actually working on it. Now that the relevant approval has been issued, if you want to take it down, 1’11 definitely arrange all the supporting facilities and hardware.”
Businessmen valued profits. Even an aristocratic family with an official background like the Zou family valued money. Politicians and money were inseparable. This was the nutrient solution to maintain the growth of the huge family behind them.
Li Gang was attached to the Zou Family, but he did not understand Zou Bai. It was normal for him to form factions in politics. If Li Gang wanted to advance with an ordinary family background, the best way was to take sides. Li Gang chose the rich Zou Family.
However, there were many disciples who had climbed up the social ladder. Those who could meet the head of the Zou family a few times were only qualified to meet him if they reached a certain level. Those who could occasionally interact with him and sit down to say a few words were even fewer.
Li Gang took out a bargaining chip that he thought Zou Bai would be satisfied with. He also deliberately used a form of address to close the distance between the two of them, hinting to Zou Bai that he was from the Zou Family’s camp.
However, how could Zou Bai care about this piece of land? He chuckled and reminded, “Mayor Li, 1 want a way to deal with it, not a compensation plan.”
Zou Bai’s non-accepting attitude made the sweat on Li Gang’s forehead thicken. “Fourth Master, can you give me some hints?”
Zou Bai’s eyes turned to the sea in the distance. After a few seconds, he continued, “I see that your young master’s personality is quite domineering. Why don’t you send him to Jiangzhou’s Sand Mountain to train? He’s still young now. If he grinds his temper, his bad habits will change quickly.”
Jiangzhou might sound like a good place to live by mountains and rivers, but it was actually a bitter and cold place near the border. It was a place filled with yellow sand. This name was only given to give beautiful expectations to the locals. In reality, it was a place that no one was willing to go.
Sand Mountain was the town with the worst environment in Jiangzhou City. The elevation was slightly higher, the temperature was low all year round, and the oxygen was thin. There was only a first-line patrol unit, a forestry field, and a prison.
Yu Xin panicked. “Old Li, Jiangzhou is already suffering enough. That sand mountain is not a place for humans! Our Little Yuan won’t go!”
Li Gang glared at Yu Xin angrily. “Shut up! You taught my son to be like this. I haven’t settled the score with you yet!”
Yu Xin was frightened by Li Gang’s fierce gaze. She cowered and did not dare to interrupt again. Little Yuan seemed to have sensed his fate and his tears flowed. “Daddy, I’m not going anywhere. I want to stay by your side.”
Li Gang looked at his son’s tear-stained face and felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart. He pleaded with Zou Bai, “Fourth Master, Little Yuan is only five years old. He’s not sensible. 1’11 definitely teach him well in the future. 1’11 let him apologize to Miss.”
Li Gang pulled Little Yuan in front of him. “Quick, apologize to Fourth Master and Miss!”
Although Little Yuan was already five years old, he was still young after all. He had always been indulged by his mother and the servants at home. From the moment he was born, he had heard all kinds of flattery. The voice in his heart kept telling him that everyone had to listen to his father..
