"You!" Bai Yifan was even more annoyed, where had the gentle and kind Tang Yumeng gone? She had never blushed at him before, but ever since she got together with Lin Chuan, he found that Tang Yumeng frequently got agitated with him for Lin Chuan's sake. She even berated him without caring about her image. Bai Yifan was furious, thoughts of murder suddenly surged in his mind, and he gritted his teeth: "Fine, fine, a dog can't spit out ivory."

Having said that, Bai Yifan turned around and walked away.

Watching Bai Yifan's retreating figure, Tang Yumeng suddenly felt some regret.

"Lin Chuan, was I too harsh just now?" Tang Yumeng asked.

"No!" Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "I think it was good, for dealing with such people, you need to show them some colors, otherwise, he'll really think we're easy to bully!"

"Sigh..." Tang Yumeng sighed and said, "Actually, Bai Yifan is a good person. At least he's not like other rich second-generation and official second-generation who do all kinds of bad and evil deeds. He has a kind heart."

"There are plenty of people with kind hearts." Lin Chuan scoffed and said, "We shouldn't highlight his merits just because he's from a rich and official family."

"This..." Tang Yumeng hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe you're right."

"It seems that Bai Yifan won't let it go easily." Lin Chuan smiled.

"Why do you say that?" Tang Yumeng asked curiously.

"Didn't you see his gaze before he left? It was almost devouring." Lin Chuan said with a bitter smile, "This guy seems to hate me to the core."

"Don't worry, he won't." Tang Yumeng smiled.

Just as they were indulging in some thrilling office passion, it was interrupted by Bai Yifan. Lin Chuan was so upset he could almost turn green. The interrupted passion was like a shattered mirror, utterly impossible to recover.

Lin Chuan wanted to have another round, but Tang Yumeng firmly refused him and physically pushed him out of the office, then locked the door behind him.

Helpless, Lin Chuan could only walk sheepishly towards the downstairs.

When Xiao Xue saw Lin Chuan, she smiled and said, "Lin Chuan, were you driven out by Secretary Tang?"

"Nonsense." Lin Chuan glanced at Xiao Xue and said, "Driven out by her? I walked out by myself."

Pfft...

Xiao Xue covered her mouth and laughed. In fact, she had seen everything. But since Lin Chuan cared about his dignity, she did not want to burst his bubble, just smiled and said, "Yes yes, you walked out by yourself."

After coming down from upstairs, Lin Chuan headed to the lounge.

Now the lounge had nearly become Lin Chuan's dictatorship area. After the death of Song Hao, nearly no one dared to oppose Lin Chuan. Even the Song family brothers dared not confront him directly. Lin Chuan's influence at the City Committee had almost surpassed that of ordinary officials. The security at the door would even respectfully salute Lin Chuan upon seeing him—something Song Ming never received.

Logistics department lounge.

The room was filled with smoke, with the air conditioner turned on, providing strong cooling.

Pushing the door open, a stench of smelly feet assaulted him. However, Lin Chuan had long been immune to such odors. He walked in with a cigarette in his mouth. A group of people all looked towards Lin Chuan.

"Lin Chuan, you're here?"

"Chuanzi, want to join us for cards?"

"Lin Chuan, have a cigarette."

A group of people came forward to greet Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan scanned the crowd, then slowly walked in.

Before Song Hao died, these people wouldn't have dared to get too close to him. Now that Song Hao was dead, they couldn't wait to curry favor even though Lin Chuan might not reciprocate. From this, it's apparent they were all opportunists.

Of course, Lin Chuan could understand them. These were people living in the crevices, a slight misstep could mean their doom. So, Lin Chuan could understand their mentality.

"Hmm. You guys play, I won't join."

"I have one already, no smoking for me!"

Lin Chuan responded one by one. While he was speaking, he walked over to Luo Guoqing. Luo Guoqing was sitting in a corner, holding a smartphone while reading an online novel. In today's society, online literature was prevalent, influencing many people. Especially now smartphones are common, making many accustomed to reading on mobile devices. Luo Guoqing had his daughter Tingting pick out a smartphone for him and then downloaded a 'QQ Reading' app.

"You seem quite leisurely, huh?" Lin Chuan leaned over and asked, "Not going out today?"

"It's hot these days, leaders don't like to go out." Luo Guoqing smiled, "This actually lightens our load quite a bit. I think it's a good thing."

"What book are you reading?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Just browsing." Luo Guoqing chuckled.

"You're not reading something like Jin Ping Mei, are you?" Lin Chuan joked maliciously.

"Hey, I wouldn't read that kind of ****." Luo Guoqing argued.

"How have you been lately?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Recently?" Luo Guoqing was stunned and asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"Song Ming." Lin Chuan replied with a sentence.

"Song Ming?" Luo Guoqing chuckled, "He's been running around lately, didn't you see? The Song family brothers weren't even in the lounge. I guess he's been trying to find connections, hoping to frame you. Unfortunately, he hasn't found the right person yet. However, I heard he's been getting close with Qin Dalei recently."

"Oh?" Lin Chuan looked at Luo Guoqing with surprise.

"That's what the Song family brothers said," Luo Guoqing laughed. "These two lads are never tight-lipped, and they like to brag about how amazing Qin Dalei is whenever they get the chance. So, I guess there must be some connection between Song Ming and Qin Dalei."

"Your analysis makes sense." Lin Chuan nodded.

"So, you have to be cautious," Luo Guoqing said seriously.

"Hmm!" Lin Chuan nodded. However, to keep Luo Guoqing from worrying about him, Lin Chuan didn't share his own experiences. Instead, he chatted casually with Luo Guoqing in the lounge. Just as their conversation was becoming interesting.

Suddenly, Xiao Xue burst into the lounge.

She pinched her nose and said, "Lin Chuan, Secretary Tang is looking for you!"

"Looking for me?" Lin Chuan was startled and said, "Didn't she just kick me out?"

"But, didn't you just say that you walked out by yourself?" Xiao Xue's eyes flashed with slyness.

"Uh..." Lin Chuan paused, immediately dumbfounded, and awkwardly said, "What does Secretary Tang need?"

"How should I know?" Xiao Xue glanced at Lin Chuan, saying, "If I knew, why would I tell you to go find Secretary Tang? I would just tell you directly, right?"

"Makes sense!" Lin Chuan strangely nodded in agreement.

Inside Tang Yumeng's office.

Lin Chuan curiously asked, "Sis, what did you want to see me for?"

Tang Yumeng looked at Lin Chuan and said, "I've expedited the approval documents you needed. They're all here."

Lin Chuan moved closer out of curiosity. All sorts of documents were ready, even including a guarantee letter from the City Committee. This deeply moved Lin Chuan. Having connections in high places really made things easier. Tang Yumeng had actually managed to get all these documents finalized so swiftly and efficiently.

"Sis, you are the best." Lin Chuan was exceedingly excited and said enthusiastically, "This is great, now I'm a real estate developer too."

"Lin Chuan, there's something I need to remind you of," Tang Yumeng said seriously as she looked at him.

"Sis, go ahead," Lin Chuan quickly said.

"When business grows big, don't forget your roots," Tang Yumeng stared intensely at Lin Chuan, then spoke, "You must abide by principles in life. Absolutely do not change like some people do. They succeed in business but lose their moral compass."

"Sis, don't worry," Lin Chuan earnestly said, "Lin Chuan conducts himself in a way that he can answer to the heavens above, the earth below, and most importantly, to you, sis."

"That's good," Tang Yumeng nodded, saying, "I know you're a kind-hearted person, that's why I'm willing to help you with these matters."

"Hehe" Lin Chuan grinned, saying, "How should I reward you for this?"

Lin Chuan mischievously walked towards Tang Yumeng.

Tang Yumeng immediately panicked, she whispered urgently, "Don't mess around, Xiao Xue is still here!"

"So what?" Lin Chuan shook his head, saying, "This girl knows about our relationship anyway. Plus, she'll surely leave if she sees us getting cozy."

As he spoke, Lin Chuan immediately hugged Tang Yumeng.

"Please, I'm begging you," Tang Yumeng urgently pleaded, "This is an office, the City Committee office, you... how can you fool around like this?"

Seeing Tang Yumeng so imploring, Lin Chuan also had no choice but to sheepishly give up.

With a stack of approval documents, Lin Chuan hurried back to the transport market. He couldn't believe that all the documents had been processed in just over a week. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be possible to get them done in less than ten days or even half a month.

Back at the transport market, everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news.

"Damn, it's finally our turn to make a fortune," Zhou Kai said excitedly.

"Right?" Lu Dapao was thrilled, saying, "We used to just watch others get rich, green with envy. Now it's our turn."

"Real estate developers, huh!" Huang Bo's eyes widened with excitement, as if he was in a dream, he excitedly said, "Damn, I never even dared to imagine this, and now it's actually become a reality. Damn, this is so exciting."

Lin Chuan sat down in a chair and laughed, "Brothers, work hard, soon you'll all be bosses."

Roar, roar, roar...

Everyone was immediately excited.

Now everyone knew that real estate development was the most profitable business. As long as you have land and government approval, you can build houses. Once the houses are built, you can sell them. A single unit can easily go for hundreds of thousands to millions. This was simply a gold mine.
