Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 512: Building the Tower (Part 2)



"Exactly, Old Zhou, let your son come to our place and build a skyscraper, and we'll have our sons work in his company!"

After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhou Guowei knew these idle men were just joking around, so he didn't bother to respond.

Ever since Zhou Yuwen rose to prominence in Jinling, the attitude of those around Zhou Guowei had indeed changed significantly. For example, Zhou Guowei was just a deputy, and during big meetings, it was enough for him to sit quietly at the back without saying anything.

Who knew that before the meeting that day, the top leader in the city stopped in front of him, smilingly asked if he was still at the Procuratorate.

The main official beside them naturally introduced Zhou Guowei to the top leader very respectfully.

Zhou Guowei was flattered as he shook hands with the leader.

He then heard the leader say with a hint of envy, "Guowei, you have a good son!"

"The provincial capital needs development, and our hometown needs it even more. We have talented people here, but what's missing is how to have these talents repay their hometown after they've achieved something!"

Zhou Guowei nodded in agreement, but he never thought that relying on his status, his son must come back. Each generation has its own fortune. Now that his son is grown up and has his own world, Zhou Guowei knows he can't provide much help anymore, nor does he want to hold his son back in the future. If the city keeps pressing, Zhou Guowei thought he might as well relax and retire early, and enjoy some of his son's glory.

Once the land transaction confirmation came through, Zhou Yuwen began to prepare for building the office tower. Although he claimed he would hire a famous international designer,

he definitely wanted to hand the design over to Su Qing. Zhou Yuwen had discussed this with Su Qing before, but she didn't believe it, just brushed it off with a smile.

When Zhou Yuwen bought the land, he mentioned it again to Su Qing.

Su Qing was completely stunned. Was this a joke? A dozen-story building and she would be the chief designer?

Not in this lifetime, nor in her past life, after years of struggling, would she dare take on such a big project.

Su Qing, in a previous life, was considered quite excellent in the field, but her excellence only extended to designing a residential house or a small plaza, definitely not a skyscraper.

Even the master of Su Qing's past life never had such an opportunity?

When discussing design with Su Qing, she always had a superior air.

Now faced with being a chief designer, she panicked, her eyes darting away, incredulously asking Zhou Yuwen, "Are you serious?"

Zhou Yuwen was a bit speechless at the question and said, "Of course it's serious."

"How could it not be real? I've already secured the land." he said, waving the confirmation letter in front of Su Qing.

Seeing Zhou Yuwen being so earnest, Su Qing got a bit flustered and hesitated for a long time before she couldn't help but say, "Zhou, Zhou Yuwen, maybe you should try someone else, I can't do it."

"Why can't you do it? Didn't you always say you could? Didn't you used to tell me I was holding back your career? If you design this building and it amazes everyone, you might not only become famous in Jinling but possibly world-renowned!" Zhou Yuwen laughed as he said.

"That's what you say, but I've never designed anything like this..." Su Qing admitted timidly.

"There's a first time for everything. Instead of hesitating, why not think about the design? I'll have Wanting help you."

Designing a building was not something Su Qing could do alone. Zhou Yuwen intended for her to set up a studio abroad and hire some experienced designers. Although Su Qing hadn't designed such a project before, she was from this profession and surely had seen some advanced designs. She just had to outline the direction, and with cooperation from the designers, they would surely come up with an astonishing building.

Once the design issue was resolved, the next was construction.

Currently, some construction companies had approached Zhou Yuwen, trying to get involved in his project, showing eagerness from all sides.

Some local construction companies, unable to find connections with Zhou Yuwen, had even turned to Liu Jing.

They called Liu Jing, saying with a smile: "Hey, Sister Jing, long time no see!"

Liu Jing, surprised to receive a call from an old friend, said, "Oh, today's a rare day! You're actually calling me?" "Sister Jing, don't be so distant in your words. My husband has been busy with southern business and hasn't had time to meet, and it's been almost two years." The woman on the call began with flattery.

Liu Jing gave a cold snort but said nothing. The caller was once a good friend of Liu Jing. She later married a southern businessman, and due to business conflicts between the families, they had a big fallout at their last gathering, vowing never to meet again. Two years passed, and Liu Jing didn't expect to hear from her.

Liu Jing knew that unsolicited goodwill often involved ulterior motives, but she couldn't figure out what help she could offer that prompted this call.

The caller seemed to be inquiring if Liu Jing was free for a meet-up.

This confused Liu Jing further.

Then the caller said, "Our families haven't met in a while. Xinyi must've grown up, right? I heard, Sister Jing, you arranged a good marriage for Xinyi. We'll certainly meet your new son-in-law, Sister Jing."

Hearing this, Liu Jing's face turned cold, and she said icily, "I wondered why you called; you just wanted to laugh at us. There's nothing to talk about, this is the end!"

Saying this, Liu Jing intended to hang up.

The caller, sensing Liu Jing was about to hang up, panicked and quickly said, "Hey, Sister Jing, don't hang up. I really do have something to talk to you about; Sister, Sister, don't hang up!"

"You have something to discuss with me? Humph, why crack jokes if you have business?"

The caller immediately felt aggrieved, saying, "My dear sister, how could I joke? With such an accomplished son-in-law, our family still needs your business help; how could I joke?"

The caller appeared very aggrieved, but her repeated mentions of "good son-in-law" made Liu Jing feel quite troubled. She knew Zhou Yuwen had done well, but regardless of how well he did, it had nothing to do with her.

Liu Jing's understanding of Zhou Yuwen was still at the point where he'd earned billions in New York. Although the news of him acquiring land had been widespread in Jinling, her close acquaintances knew she didn't like Zhou Yuwen, so no one mentioned it to her, and she was unaware of the situation.

Thus, receiving this call today left Liu Jing puzzled.

The call almost drove the other person into tears, knowing her husband had strictly ordered her to make good with Liu Jing and secure the deal with their son-in-law.

This made the woman feel wronged, never expecting Liu Jing to have such an accomplished son-in-law. Seeing Liu Jing was about to hang up, Sun Juan dropped formalities and said straightforwardly, "Sister Jing, you must help me."

"Help you?" Liu Jing laughed coldly, "I've handed the business over to Xinyi, I can't help. "You can't help, but your son-in-law can. Sister Jing, if you hand the building project over to our family, we'll ensure it's completed beautifully!"

"What did you say?" Liu Jing was stunned.
