When Qi Yun came in, he joked, "You rascal, when we used to drink together your glass was always lower by three points. Now you've got a big attitude, I have to wait for you, huh?"

Qi Yun naturally caught the joke in his words and didn't mind, pulling out a chair and sitting down by himself.

Zhang Dayong picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over: "What's up?"

Qi Yun raised his watch to check the time, looked up, and replied: "No rush. I'm here for two things, and someone else will drop by later. I need you to back me up."

"Someone else?" Zhang Dayong asked suspiciously, "Who?"

Qi Yun raised his teacup and took a sip: "You should've heard of him, Luo Yang."

"Luo Yang?" Zhang Dayong was dumbfounded, "The one doing the gravel business?"

"That's right, him." Qi Yun nodded.

"You're involved with him?" Zhang Dayong was a bit puzzled; in his impression, Qi Yun avoided those kinds of businesses.

Qi Yun explained: "Not involved, but some people under me have conflicts with him, so I want to chat with him to see if we can resolve them."

Actually, he reached out to the other party this time for two reasons, one being to ask them to find out the whereabouts of Old Ghost.

Truth be told, when it comes to the most informed in the area, aside from the aunt at the village entrance, it's these big guys with small-time followers everywhere who catch any tiny rumor faster than the Hat Uncle.

Initially, Qi Yun was reluctant to approach Luo Yang, but Hong Weize mentioned that Luo Yang had quickly expanded his power in the past six months, and now not only the Sha District but the New District is under his control.

So to inquire about Old Ghost, indeed, he can't avoid him.

Furthermore, since he's seeking help from the other party, he might as well solve the issues of Ah Jiao and the others too.

Although he could have them continue to lay low and avoid trouble, such things need to be handled sooner or later. Ah Jiao and the others are already on Luo Yang's radar; if they're carelessly bumped into and attacked, it's not worth the risk.

As the two chatted, a sudden commotion came from outside the room.

"You dog, what a small world after all!"

"Boss, it's him! Last time, this kid injured our buddies!"

Upon hearing the noise, Qi Yun quickly got up and pushed open the door.

In the corridor, a middle-aged fat man dressed in a suit and ties stood leading, none other than the big shot Luo Yang.

Behind him were two subordinates who, despite wearing coats and leather shoes, gave off a gangster vibe.

The three men were glaring at Chen Wei with ill intent.

As for Chen Wei, he remained with a cool demeanor as if he completely disregarded the three people before him.

"Ahem, it's President Luo, right?" Qi Yun cleared his throat, interrupting.

Luo Yang turned his head, sized up Qi Yun, and spoke: "You must be Baldy Hong's friend?"

Qi Yun nodded and opened the door to the room: "Let's chat inside."

Luo Yang's mouth twitched an ambiguous smile: "Sure."

Saying this, he followed Qi Yun into the room, but as soon as he passed the screen, his steps stopped, and a surprised expression crossed his face.

Right in front, Zhang Dayong was holding a cup of tea, looking at him with a half-smiling expression.

"President Luo, come and sit."

Luo Yang snapped out of his surprise, quickly stepped forward: "Oh, Director Zhang, you're here too."

Luo Yang, managing to establish himself in New District and Sha District, certainly has connections at some level.

But, having relationships is one thing, treating high-ranking officials in the government office still requires at least basic respect because if they can't deal with you, they can easily deal with your underlings.

They could slowly take a batch of them away, then who would you rely on for business?

This is the main reason why Luo Yang kept his posture low, not that he was really afraid of Zhang Dayong, but it's not worth putting on a show.

Zhang Dayong naturally knew what was going on, but in his mind, he wasn't afraid of Luo Yang at all, because he had someone behind him, and they were powerful.

So later if Luo Yang didn't show a good face to Qi Yun, Zhang Dayong would definitely step in to educate him.

"Haha, I'm good friends with President Qi, heard he had some trouble and came to see what's up."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yang's smile froze; it was clearly meant as a warning shot.

At this time, Qi Yun lifted the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Luo Yang: "President Luo, have a seat and drink some tea first."

"Okay." Luo Yang responded, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Seeing the willingness to talk, Qi Yun called out towards the door: "Brother Wei, bring the stuff in."

Chen Wei outside heard him, and walked in carrying two black canvas bags, placed the bags on the table, then exited and closed the door.

Qi Yun stood up, unzipped the two bags, stacks of fresh red bills appeared.

Luo Yang stared at the cash in the canvas bags, somewhat surprised.

Not only him, but Zhang Dayong across from him was also stunned, unclear about Qi Yun's intentions.

Qi Yun smiled and began explaining: "President Luo, since you graced us with your presence today, I'll speak straightforwardly."

"Before, my three employees might have had some misunderstandings with your wife's little brother, causing him a loss of five million, here is exactly five million, consider it as compensation to your wife's little brother from me on behalf of those three employees."

"President Luo, can past events be let go?"

Though five million is not a small amount, for Qi Yun, who just earned three hundred million, it's nothing much.

Moreover, in his heart, he acknowledged the skill and loyalty of Ah Jiao and her team, hence was willing to pay this amount hoping to erase their potential worries.
