Chapter 175 The strangest thing is that you don’t want anything!
From Zhao Ruiling, I learned that Master Lin has been entrenched in Jingzhou City for many years. It is said that he is good at feng shui and fortune-telling, and can help people resolve problems and avoid disasters.
Most of the people who come and go are politicians and wealthy businessmen.
Over time, it has become a hub for the exchange of information and interests.
Qi Tongwei is familiar with this drama. Who knows, maybe in some time, he will be able to start a business of blessing female stars.
Master Lin's routine is very simple. If he is really a good fortune teller, he generally won't be so high-profile. He is simply using this name to commit fraud.
All these once again confirmed my guess.
Zhao Ruiling must have been bewitched by Master Lin.
She thought she was the boss and Master Lin was serving her, but in reality it was just the opposite.
Master Lin had his eyes on the wealth and power of the Zhao family. Even though Zhao Lichun and Zhao Ruilong were arrested, Master Lin wanted to take over Zhao Ruiling in the end. This should be his purpose.
Zhao Ruiling, awakened by love, continued to accuse.
"Awei, there is one more thing I must tell you. Shanshui Group wants to acquire a piece of land. Master Lin said he would help me, but he wants a 10% commission, which I think is too much."
"Sister Lingling, you said Master Lin is a fortune teller, but I think he is a score-setter. Look, the fox's tail has been exposed this time, right?"
"Awei, don't be so resistant. We are businessmen. We can give you kickbacks. I just think it's a bit too much."
"Businessmen are not fools. Let me talk about this matter and see if it's right."
"Lingling, what Tongwei said makes sense. Don't try random treatments. If this thing succeeds, they'll take 10% of the profit. If it doesn't, he won't lose anything."
"But Master Lin can indeed help others accomplish a lot of things."
"If I were Master Lin, I could take on ten such jobs outside. As long as one of them was successful, I would make a fortune. Moreover, those who help others succeed will say outside that Master Lin is a good person!" Qi Tongwei continued.
"This is the trick used by scammers. For example, if the government sells a piece of land, there must be a buyer. Who knows if he did it?"
After listening to Qi Tongwei's analysis, Zhao Ruiling became less and less trusting of Master Lin.
Especially after the Zhao family lost its former glory, Master Lin became less polite and more direct when asking for money.
"Ah Wei, to be honest, I really want to get a piece of land so that Shanshui Group can have some business. We can't just keep wasting money like this, right?"
"I'll get it for you, but you have to promise me one thing!"
"Promise, I'll agree to whatever you say!" Zhao Ruiling looked at Qi Tongwei with anticipation.
"Don't let those girls do that anymore. Just let them work as waitresses. I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
"Ah Wei, you are a man, you know, if I don't arrange this, who will come to my place?"
"This is not a moral judgment, this is a risk cost! Shanshui Manor has been targeted by others, and it is risky for you to do this!" Qi Tongwei continued.
"It won't be long before there will be another major earthquake in Handong's officialdom. Something will happen to your guest house. At that time, they will at most arrest you. That's their own fault. But it's different here. This is your hard work!"
"The financial attributes of the real estate sector are too strong. You can make a quick buck by buying a few plots of land, but in the long run, investing in real industry is the way to go!"
After his rebirth, Qi Tongwei must have understood the trend of economic development. Industry is definitely not the most profitable industry, but the advantage of doing industry is that it can provide a large number of jobs.
This is not the right way for the Zhao family to revive. He never intended to revive the Zhao family from the beginning.
But industry is the only way for people to get rich, and ensuring stable employment can bring a sense of happiness that can be seen with the naked eye.
It is not easy to do business, so he chose a difficult path for Zhao Ruiling, which is to repay the debt owed to the people on behalf of the Zhao family.
"Ah Wei, I'll leave the land matter to you. I will fully support you. If you need help with any relationships, I will definitely help you!"
"Smoothing out relationships?" Qi Tongwei had a disdainful expression, "I never ask others for help when I do things. It's always others who ask me for help. For this piece of land, just wait for others to ask you to take it over!"
"Ah Wei, please stop teasing me. This is a piece of fat meat. How could I possibly beg you?"
"I'm going to say this today! Not only are you asked to take the land, but someone is also willing to pay you!"
Zhao Ruiling smiled faintly, and it was Qi Tongwei's serious yet cute expression.
Little did she know that in Qi Tongwei's eyes, she looked truly innocent and cute.
"We must be careful here at Shanshui Manor. In a few days, Hou Liangping will dare to come over to sabotage us. We'd better think of a countermeasure in advance!"
"I know, Awei, I really want to hear you sing..."
"Ahem! It's getting late. I want to go back." Zhao Ruili couldn't stand her sister's tone anymore.
"Well, I'll take my elder sister back!"
……
On the way back.
"Qi Tongwei, did you know that my sister likes you?" Zhao Ruili asked.
"Sister Ruili, I know you're worried. You know I'm just playing it for fun, right?"
"I just don't want you to play with Lingling's feelings, and she is a married woman."
"I know all this, but you should be able to see that she was deeply trapped in the trap of Master Lin. If I hadn't rescued her, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"Do you really want to save her?"
"I just helped her out," Qi Tongwei said with a sneer.
"Qi Tongwei, I know what you are thinking. You are not sincere to anyone. Everything you do is for yourself!"
"Sister, this is not wrong, right?"
"Of course you are right, but what I can't understand is that I don't know what you want. If you want Lingling's affection, you wouldn't have given it to me today. If you want Lingling's money, with your ability, Qi Tongwei, it would be a matter of just a word. But you don't want anything, that's strange."
"Sister, you overestimate me. I'm just timid."
"Cowardly? No one in Handong dares to touch Zhao Lichun and Zhao Ruilong, but you, Qi Tongwei, dare to do so! You must have higher aspirations, but people like me can't see it. But that's right. If others can see it clearly, it won't be you, Qi Tongwei!"
"I didn't understand it before, but during this period of time when I was devoted to practicing Buddhism, I seem to understand it. It turns out that there are people in the world who can be indifferent to fame, wealth and power, just for the sake of a pure land in their hearts!"
"Sister, don't, don't, don't make it so exciting."
"Don't talk nonsense to me! I also want to see how you, Qi Tongwei, can make others hand over the land to Ling Ling. And is this Master Lin also on your purge list?"
