Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Taking advantage of a family dinner, Zhou Qi met Lin Yifeng, who has become more mature and stable since he became the factory director.

They talked about Pinliang Company's future plans, and Lin Yifeng showed great interest in the dried fruit business.

Zhou Qi felt that he had chosen the right direction and shared some valuable industry experience.

Although Pinliang contributes the least to profits among Zhou Qi's many enterprises, he intends to give it as a gift when Lin Yifeng gets married.

However, Lin Yifeng devoted himself to his work, which made the elders in his family a little anxious. They hoped that he could get married and start a family as soon as possible.

During dinner, Lin Ruixue asked about the situation of the Haishi project.

This project is very important to Zhou Qi and requires huge initial investment. She remembers that Zhou Qi once mentioned the launch of the project.

But recently, the two have discussed more about the development of other businesses such as turnover warehouses, breweries and intermediary services.

Considering that some time had passed, Zhou Qi decided to contact Qiao Xuying to learn about the latest developments.

On the phone, Qiao Xuying confessed that the Huangpu project encountered some troubles - although the initial demolition work went very smoothly, several households suddenly changed their minds and rejected the compensation conditions offered by Hualong.

Even though the offer price was raised, the other party still refused to sell.

Faced with this situation, Qiao Xuying originally wanted to solve it herself and didn't want to disturb Zhou Qi, but now she has to report this problem to him.

The decision is made and there is no room for negotiation.

In recent days, the situation has become more complicated - these families disappeared without a trace overnight, leaving their belongings behind and their houses empty.

If we can’t find the people, the demolition work cannot be carried out, let alone forced demolition.

The situation is now at a stalemate.

Qiao Xuying used all her connections to try to find these residents, and was even willing to double the demolition compensation to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

However, the problems did not end there. The cooperating building materials supplier also encountered troubles due to the delay in demolition.

The original plan was to carry out demolition and purchase of building materials simultaneously so that construction could begin immediately after demolition was completed.

But now the demolition has come to a standstill and construction materials cannot be transported to the site.

A large amount of materials are stockpiled at suppliers' places, and the materials needed for subsequent projects has become unknown. All parties are urgently negotiating solutions.

In short, the demolition problem has made the entire project a mess.

Zhou Qi frowned and said to the person on the other end of the phone: "I'll go to Hai City tomorrow to take a look."

"I can handle it."

Qiao Xuying insisted that although she actually hoped that Zhou Qi could come to help, she did not want to cause inconvenience to the other party because of her work problems.

"Go to bed early. I'll take the earliest flight."

Zhou Qi said, and after saying a few more words of comfort, he hung up the phone.

Lin Ruixue noticed his worry and asked with concern: "Did you encounter any trouble?"

Zhou Qi nodded gently and said with a smile: "It's just a small problem, I'll take care of it."

He said this to prevent Lin Ruixue from worrying.

Although Qiao Xuying did not say it explicitly, they all knew in their hearts that the sudden disappearance of those nail households might be caused by other forces secretly manipulating them.

If they were only in it for the money, they would have stayed and negotiated.

The next day, Zhou Qi went to Hai City alone, and on the way he spoke with Qiao Xuying to learn more about the situation.

Song Wei has also been trying to re-contact the residents of the demolition sites in recent days, trying to obtain more information about the nail households.

Various channels were used to search for these residents, but it seemed that everyone had disappeared, which made Zhou Qi even more convinced that someone was behind all this.

Conventional means appear unlikely to work.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Qi dialed Fei Boxiang's number.

The Fei family has a long history and its influence far exceeds that of ordinary merchant families.

They have extensive experience and resources to deal with complex interpersonal networks and potential challenges.

It is not difficult to find a few people to help. After hearing Zhou Qi's request, Fei Boxiang agreed without hesitation.

In order to help the Fei family solve the problem more quickly, Zhou Qi asked Qiao Xuying to pass the collected information to the Fei family through Song Wei.

At the same time, Zhou Qi arrived at Hai City Airport, ready to deal with this tricky situation personally.

When Qiao Xuying saw Zhou Qi, she lost her usual liveliness. Instead, she leaned against him silently and whispered, "Do you think I'm useless? I can't even handle such a small matter."

"Don't think too much."

Zhou Qi tapped her forehead gently: "Someone is doing something bad in secret. No matter how careful you are, it is difficult to completely prevent it."

Qiao Xuying pursed her lips, with a hint of grievance in her eyes: "I also find it strange, who would make things difficult for us? We are quite powerful in Hai City."

"Maybe it's directed at me." Zhou Qi said frankly.

"You didn't get into any trouble outside, did you?" Qiao Xuying said half-jokingly.

"It's a lot of trouble indeed."

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "But don't worry, the truth will come out sooner or later. Now let's go to the demolition site first."

Along the Huangliu River, the once prosperous neighborhood is now in ruins, with only five houses standing stubbornly, becoming the nail households that hinder the progress of the project.

The houses are scattered all over the place, and the land cannot be fully developed without demolishing them.

Qiao Xueying looked at the stubborn residents with a frown on her face, "The delay in construction has affected Hualong's reputation.

What’s worse is that before you came, Qing Yang told me that someone spread rumors that our compensation was unfair and incited residents to demand compensation for the price difference.”

"We have contractual protections, and the compensation has always been fair and reasonable, so there is no need to worry about that."

Zhou Qi comforted him: "The key is to solve the problem of these five stubborn households as soon as possible."

Just as the two were discussing countermeasures, the roar of machinery was heard in the distance.

The convoy of trucks drove slowly in a cloud of dust. When Qiao Xuying caught a glimpse of these vehicles, her brows unconsciously frowned.

As the truck got closer, she could see that it was filled with woven bags - obviously, these were construction materials such as cement.

Qiao Xuying responded quickly, waved to stop the convoy, and asked the driver: "Who instructed you to deliver the goods?"

The driver responded bluntly: "Of course it's the boss of the company. It's not you who placed the order. Where is the unloading location?"

"I never asked for delivery," Qiao Xueying explained.

But the driver didn't even give her a chance to finish: "This is none of my business. I'm only responsible for delivering and unloading the goods. I didn't receive any notice to take them back."

Seeing that the driver was about to unload the goods at random, Qiao Xuying became extremely anxious.

However, the drivers ignored her attempts to stop them. Without even getting out of the car, they raised the rear cargo box amid the roar of their engines and dumped the cargo among the ruins at the demolition site.

Amid the flying dust, trucks one after another completed unloading and quickly left.
