Chapter 102: The Mean & Lean.
Hao Ren got out of the elevator and found that ten men were already standing in the parking space that belonged to him. There was a nice Sedan parked in the parking lot. Hao Ren asked, "Brother Heath, this car?"
(The Image of the car is in the comment section.)
Heath smiled and said, "The company manager, Miss Carter asked you to use this vehicle for the meetings in the future. This car is a status symbol."
Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "If they used the company money for this, then I will have their heads."
Heath chuckled and said, "We got it on a rental. If you like the vehicle, you can order one."
Hao Ren shook his head thinking how cunning his employees were, and he got in the back after Heath pulled the door for him. As soon as he got inside the car, Hao Ren said, "This vehicle is a palace of luxury on wheels."
He closed his eyes to lean back in his chair before he thought, 'This is the Maybach S-class of this world. No wonder it is a status symbol.'
He did not know that two dominating vehicles were following him in tow. Heath said, "Young Master, where are we going?"
Hao Ren told him to drive to the registration office. At the same time, the young man was using his mobile and looking into the cause of this summon. He was the CEO, but land purchase was something that Lynn Carter could have handled on her own. Why was he being summoned? Did not seem simple to him.
Thinking about the reason, he typed on the screen, 'Xiao Mei, give me a construction plan for apartments and the commodities around it.' Experience magic on m-vl-e-mpyr
Xiao Mei sent him a thumbs up meaning she was on it. The car moved smoothly and Hao Ren came to the gate of the registration office. Hao Ren got down the vehicle, and found Lynn Carter was waiting for him in the parking with her assistant.
The biggest shock Hao Ren got was when he found two teams of people in tow. He sighed and said, "Miss Carter, can you please have the human resources department to make suitable positions for these brothers? I am not that famous to bring around an entourage. Mister Heath is enough to guard me."
Lynn Carter smiled and said, "Boss, you underestimate yourself."
Hao Ren waved his hand and asked, "Why have they called us over? Did we do something against the rules?"
Lynn Carter sighed and said, "The person who runs this office is called Shun Ye, he is set to stop us from buying the land. I have no idea why he is like that, but I could only call you."
Hao Ren frowned and said, "Well, you did good, I am not playing the shopkeeper in my own company. Come, let's meet this guy."
The two people entered the office and Lynn Carter told the peon at the door that they have a meeting. The peon nodded and entered the chambers of the chief registrar. Hao Ren was sorting up his tie when the peon came out and said, "I apologize but Chief Registrar said that you would have to wait. He is occupied with something important."
Hao Ren and Lynn Carter exchanged glances before the two of them sat down in the lobby. They were not fools, specially Hao Ren. Lynn Carter said, "Boss, I think they are targeting us."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "It could be something urgent. Let's wait for a while. It is weekend, I am sure he would not take long."
Lynn Carter nodded and began to go through the documents. Time was a weird thing, when you wished for it to be quick, it would slow down like a snail and vice versa. Hao Ren waited for a couple of hours very patiently. Lynn Carter was getting frustrated, and asked, "President, I do not think this guy is serious. This is too unprofessional."
Hao Ren nodded, and he turned his gaze to the door of the chief registrar's office. Suddenly, the door opened and a young man walked out in a grey suit. One look was enough for Hao Ren to tell that this guy was not an ordinary person. His suit alone was worth hundred thousand yuan. The young man also saw Hao Ren and smirked as he walked away.
The peon quickly came up to Hao Ren and said, "Sir, Chief Registrar just left for an emergency meeting. He asked you to come and meet him on Monday."
Hao Ren stood up from the seat, he was pissed but he still smiled and nodded before he gestured Lynn Carter to come along. They did not have to stay here since the person who called them had left already.
However, when Hao Ren came to the parking lot, he found the young man in the grey suit standing before his car and smoking a cigarette. The person turned to look at Hao Ren with a smirk and asked, "Did you think just because you have the money, you can buy off whatever piece of land in the city? Just because you look a bit cultured, a white face like yours can climb any bed?
Mountain rat, you ought to remember who you are, or the flood will wash you away."
Hao Ren clenched his fist, he calmly looked at the young man before he said, "Miss Lynn, go home. We are done for the day."
Lynn Carter sensed the air getting heavy and she left the place quickly. Hao Ren ignored the young man and walked up to his vehicle where Heath pulled the door for him. The guards were also looking at the young man with a malicious gaze, but they did not act wildly. They all understood that it was a government servant, and they were now, civilians.
The young man chuckled before he walked away from the spot and Hao Ren drove away.
...
Inside the car, Heath wanted to say something, when he heard Hao Ren saying, "Xiao Mei, I want all the information about the Chief Registrar."
Xiao Mei replied, "I am on it, boss."
Heath sensed the temperature inside the car lower, and Hao Ren asked, "Heath, what do you know about Yellow Realm Experts?"
Heath trembled when he heard this, and then he raised his gaze to look at Hao Ren in the rear view mirror, he asked, "Where did you hear it?"
Hao Ren told him about his actions at the Cradle bar. Heath was surprised but they he said, "Boss, what that man said is true. Yellow Realm Experts are the people who are better than most of the humans. Old Chief might be able to tell you more regarding this. I apologize, but I cannot leak out the information about this."
Hao Ren nodded, he understood that the military has its own rules and regulations. Xiao Mei said, "Boss, the chief registrar is called Shun Yang. He is thirty years old, and his entire family is somehow related to the government or the civil services. He has been the CR in Jade Capital for a few years."
The young man looked outside the window and asked, "Why is he targeting me?"
Xiao Mei replied in an exasperated tone, "This bunch of stalkers who pestered Miss Han in the past seem to have infested the city like they are some bugs. He is one of those king breed insects who waits patiently for his prey to walk in the trap."
Hao Ren hummed and said, "The best way to kill a bug is to squash him under your foot."
Xiao Mei asked quickly, "What do you intend to do with him, boss?"
Hao Ren narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao Mei, find me the entire Shun Family data, and also who among them is the honest one."
Heath was surprised to hear all this, but he knew the rules, what happened in the car, would stay in the car. Xiao Mei replied, "Ummm, boss, what if their is no honest person among them?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "Lotus grows in mud, Xiao Mei, and if they do not have an honest one, then find me the most crooked one among them. Someone who can sell his soul to stay safe, let along his family."
The AI replied, "Boss, you are very ruthless. First, the Hamil and now the Shun. Are you intending to change the dynamics of the Jade Capital?"
Hao Ren replied, "What difference does it makes? Just get me the details."
...
After half an hour, the car reached the parking lot under Hao Ren's home. Han Lingshi happened to be getting out of her vehicle as well. The two people smiled at each other but Han Lingshi sensed some tension on Hao Ren's face. She asked, "Did something happen?"
Hao Ren said, "Let's talk upstairs."
In his mind, Hao Ren had met a very mean and lean opponent who deserved to be dealt with care. Someone who was about to give him a tough competition.
