Disciple, please come down the mountain soon. Your senior sister can’t wait any longer.

After Qin finished, he stood up and knelt on the ground with his head lowered, waiting for Chu Longtu's punishment.

When Xiao Ziyun and Fu Qinglong saw this, their hearts trembled, and their breathing couldn't help but suffocate.

Tian Qi's expression did not waver at all, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Qinglong listened with an expressionless face, as if he were a stone man who didn't listen and didn't care at all about matters other than himself.

In such a weird atmosphere, Chu Longtu rubbed his brows and glanced at Qin Tianshuang, feeling annoyed.

"stand up."

"Who are you showing off by pretending to be so pitiful?"

"If you really like kneeling so much, should I ask you to go out and kneel for three hours?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tianshuang stood up suddenly before he could finish his words. He smiled and then sat down, without any gesture of begging for punishment.

Xiao Ziyun and Fu Qinglong were stunned to see this scene. When they saw Qin Tianshuang being so pitiful, they were ready to plead for her and Chu Longtu. Who knew that Chu Longtu had no intention of punishing Qin Tianshuang at all!

Perhaps seeing the confusion of Xiao Ziyun and Fu Qinglong, Tian Qi, who sat next to them, explained in a low voice.

"Young master, when doing things, you don't judge success or failure based on the results."

"If the arranged tasks are not completed due to unexpected factors, the young master will not punish you."

"Besides, before we came to Hedong, the Pei family had already issued a ban. Qin Tianshuang was struggling because of the ban by the Pei family. Failure to complete the task is not a crime of war."

After hearing Tian Qi's explanation, Xiao Ziyun and Fu Qinglong suddenly realized.

Coupled with the scene just now where people bear a thorn and plead guilty and ask for punishment, it was Chu Longtu and Qin Tianshuang's master and servant joking.

After understanding this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more lively.

Chu Longtu continued.

"So what's the actual progress regarding the stronghold?"

"Although the Pei family is strong, the Hedong Pei family cannot cover the sky with one hand. There must be some people who are not afraid of the Pei family."

Chu Longtu looked at Qin Tianshuang, but Qin Tianshuang only had a wry smile on his lips.

"To be honest, young master, I have been busy with this matter for the past three days."

"But Hedong is indeed the home base of the Pei family. All the hotels I visited rejected me directly after hearing that I blew myself up at home, without giving me a chance to speak again."

"And what's different from Jiangdong is that the wealthy families here in Hedong are very particular about the so-called family face."

"In their eyes, what best represents the family's face is naturally a complete and luxurious headquarters building to demonstrate the family's wealth and power."

Well, there it is. "

Qin Tianshuang pointed out the window. When Chu Longtu and others looked, they happened to see a place not far away, filled with densely packed high-rise buildings reaching into the sky.

"Every tall building there corresponds to a wealthy family in Hedong."

"So if we want to march into Hedong in the future and want to compete with the Pei family, then a capable headquarters building is a must."

"And according to the rules of the upper class circles in Hedong, if a new wealthy family or force enters Hedong and wants to settle here, then a grand banquet must be held in the headquarters building and all the wealthy families in Hedong will be invited. Thus announcing the family’s true march into Hedong.”

"If this debut is not good or messed up, it will attract ridicule from the entire Hedong, and will also bring many difficulties to the future development in Hedong."

Upon hearing Qin Tianshuang's explanation, Chu Longtu raised his eyebrows, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"City people are really good at playing. A mere base can allow them to play so many tricks."

"It's really boring to go through so much work just for a face-saving project."

Chu Longtu completely sneered at this kind of rule that was purely for the sake of face.

But Chu Longtu was not a headstrong person. When he heard Qin Chu's words, he already understood what she meant.

Every circle has its own unique rules. If you want to enter this circle, the first thing you have to do is not to break the rules, but to learn the rules first, integrate into them, and then find ways to change the rules to your benefit.

Of course, if you have the ability to directly flip the table, then you can naturally ignore these so-called rules.

However, Chu Longtu and others were guests from afar, and they had just experienced a fierce battle in Lin'an City, and their combat power was severely depleted.

The most important point is that everyone in the Tang family is still holding it in the hands of their enemies. If they directly lift the table, it is likely to cause some unpredictable consequences.

So lifting the table when you get up is not an ideal choice.

Moreover, they had already decided in Jiangdong to compete openly and openly with their opponents in the name of Longshan Group, and with the gambling license in hand, the odds of winning even in a head-to-head confrontation were high, so why use such a trick that would cause serious consequences.

Chu Longtu turned to look at the rows of high-rise buildings outside the transparent glass window, and then looked at Qin Tianshuang.

"Now that they've turned you down, what's your backup plan?"

Qin Tianshuang was not surprised that Chu Longtu could guess that he had a backup plan, so he hesitated and said.

"I do have a backup plan."

"After years of development, the land in the center of Hedong has long been divided up by various established wealthy families, and there is no new land at all."

"In addition, with the banning order from the Pei family, no one will sell it to us."

"There was nothing we could do in the city, so I went for a walk in the suburbs, and unexpectedly found a good target."

"The so-called suburbs are actually only relative to the urban area. In fact, it is only 20 kilometers away from the urban area. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is close to the river. The beautiful scenery is indeed much better than the city center."

"It's just that the place was sparsely populated before and was mostly used as a place for vacation and leisure. Many wealthy families felt that establishing a stronghold there would not reflect the family's prestige and glory, so they never went there."

"And the target I found was a resort there that was on the verge of bankruptcy."

"It covers an area of ​​nearly two thousand acres and has hotels, hot springs, racecourses, golf courses and many other entertainment facilities. The basic conditions are very good. After taking it down, it can be opened for business with a little modification. It is definitely not inferior to the so-called Places like Walkerhill and Genting.”

"only……"

Qin paused for a moment, and Chu Longtu, who had already listened with interest, asked with interest.

"Just what?"
