C11 The Holiday Resort Project

Shen Di knew that Fu Yuanxi was telling the truth. According to the information, Jiang Guoxiong indeed had significant influence in Yaocheng. She lowered her gaze, a smile playing on her lips.

She was aware of the resort project because much of Shen's business now passed through her hands. Despite Shen Ren's indifference toward her, she had devoted countless efforts to the company over the years—efforts that couldn't be dismissed with a single word.

At the time, she had only a basic understanding of the project. Yaocheng, being a coastal city, was almost like an island city, surrounded by the sea on two sides. Its status as a seaside city meant that tourism was thriving. However, without any iconic landmarks, visitors rarely returned after their first trip, even though many came from afar for the beautiful scenery.

This is why a prominent family from A City had set their sights on Yaocheng's tourism industry. To ensure the project's success, it was essential to understand which local family would be responsible. Shen Ren likely saw the immense profits behind this venture. It's no exaggeration to say that if the project succeeded, the Shen family would become the leading force in Yaocheng, making the Chu family no longer a concern.

Thinking about this, Shen Di licked her lips. It certainly seemed like a lucrative deal.

"Since Young Master Fu asked me to speak, I'll be straightforward. I believe the Chu family is the best!" Jiang Guoxiong's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at Chu Tian, then smiled, recommending Chu Tian to Fu Yuanxi.

Shen Di almost burst out laughing at this blatant favoritism. She noticed Jiang Guoxiong wearing gloves, even in the sweltering heat. Though thin, they seemed out of place. She clenched her hand and looked down, suddenly recalling from the files that Jiang Guoxiong had once been captured by rivals, resulting in severe injuries to his fingers. Although his hands were healed, he could no longer shoot or lift heavy objects, and they bore terrifying scars. In such a case, obtaining his fingerprints would be nearly impossible.

After hearing Jiang Guoxiong's seemingly polite yet forceful introduction, Fu Yuanxi smirked slightly and said, "Oh? Are you saying no other family in town measures up? After all..." He paused, then cast a mocking glance at the still-recovering Chu Tian. "After all, I don't have a good impression of this person."

Jiang Guoxiong held a cup in his gloved hands, and while everyone noticed the gloves, no one asked about them, clearly aware of the notorious past of this formidable figure.

"If it weren't for the Chu family, I doubt I'd be of any help."

A threat!

Fu Yuanxi's expression hardened, a shadow passing through his eyes. After a moment, he looked at Jiaang Guoxiong and asked, "What exactly do you mean by that, Master Jiaang?"

Jiaang Guoxiong remained calm. "If I'm not mistaken, this project is Fu's major undertaking this year. Given that, I assume Young Master Fu would take it very seriously."

Upon hearing this, Shen Di's lips curled into a mocking smile. So it was true! It seemed Jiaang Guoxiong had somehow learned how important this project was to the Fu family, which explained his arrogance. He must have thought the Fu family would definitely need his help.

However...

Shen Di stood up and said, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to step out to the restroom for a moment."
