He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 249 The Inside Story

Quiet.

You can hear everyone breathing.

Director Hou from the Department of Natural Resources carefully exhaled the smoke that had been inhaled into his lungs.

Everyone stared at me and Young Master Long, their gazes shifting back and forth.

"What have I done to offend you?"

Young Master Long took out a cigar, cut off the end, lit it with a blowtorch lighter, and then handed it to me.

"Shen Tianyi, a native of Liancheng, made his fortune through a gas-to-water conversion project. He later established NT Group, Ya Hong Group, and Sanguo Entertainment City in Liancheng. In the provincial capital, he orchestrated the listing of ZG Supply Chain, invested in NM blind boxes, and acquired all the shares of DJ short drama company. Although his net worth is currently negative, he should have no problem amassing two or three billion yuan in assets in three years. Am I right?"

"Who exactly are you?"

This feeling of having my family's secrets exposed makes me very uncomfortable.

The last person to expose my family's secrets was Ji Xin from a multinational synthetic diamond group.

"What a pity! If I gave you another three years, you really could have leaped over the dragon gate and become a true dragon!"

I frowned, and all the section chiefs around me were looking me over, their surprise and curiosity palpable.

Especially Chen Yitang, we had never talked about each other's past, and it really surprised her when it came from Young Master Long's mouth.

"There's still so much I haven't said, including about your female confidantes..."

Chen Yitang stood up: "Tianyi, let's go."

"stop!"

Without even looking up, Young Master Long said, "Director Chen, don't you want to know just how many female confidantes President Shen has?"

"This is his private matter, and it's none of my business. But I brought him here today, and what you said made me very unhappy."

"Clap clap clap!"

Young Master Long clapped his hands: "As expected of President Shen, you really know how to win a woman's heart. No wonder my sister-in-law is so devoted to you."

???

What did you say?

Is your sister-in-law completely devoted to me?

Chen Yitang's gaze towards me changed: "Is this one of your romantic entanglements?"

I said to Young Master Long in a deep voice, "Explain things clearly."

"The capital city, Liu Dongling."

My heart sank.

I understand now, what was bound to happen has finally happened.

Seeing that I remained silent, Young Master Long smiled at Chen Yitang and said, "Director Chen, you probably don't know this yet, but President Shen has an empress in the capital. Of course, things are still uncertain, and she may become my sister-in-law in the future. So, I've come to see what kind of person Shen Tianyi is."

Chen Yitang remained silent as well.

I got up, took Chen Yitang's hand, and left without a word. No one stopped us. When we got to the clubhouse entrance, the phone was handed to us.

"Shen Tianyi, 3 million, 3 days. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

boarding.

"Xiao Qi, go to Kongxin City."

In Kongxincheng, Chen Ke's residence, after Chen Yitang and Qiu Zhanyu made their relationship clear, they continued to live at Chen's father's place.

The car was just about to turn around.

"I'm not going."

"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride?"

"I'm not going anywhere."

Chen Yitang spoke with a hint of sullenness.

Xiaoqi drove slowly, without a destination in mind.

There was a long silence.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you."

"You don't need to apologize. I'm the one who's sorry for not explaining things clearly beforehand. As for those businesses in Liancheng, actually..."

"You don't need to explain."

Chen Yitang interrupted me: "What are you planning to do with the 300 million in three days?"

I gave a wry smile: "Where am I going to get 300 million in cash? Young Master Long is right? All my assets are in the red right now. If I had another three years, everything would be fine, but it's too late. I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"He didn't explain it very clearly. Could you tell me about your story in Liancheng? We've known each other for so long, and I've never heard you mention it on your own initiative."

"It's not some kind of glorious history, so it wasn't mentioned much."

Tell me about it.

"Last year, after returning from Shanghai, I established HY Investment Company with a friend. The Chen family of Liancheng, who is Chen Hangtian, the nephew of Chen Zeyi, the current director of the Political Department of the Provincial Procuratorate, set a trap to lure me into investing 4800 million yuan. Together we took on a gas-to-water conversion project. The Chen family then converted 8000 million yuan of the project funds into land and transferred it to themselves. I sought help from the Zhou family and broke ties with the Chen family, exchanging the land for the NT Industrial Park."

"Fearing retaliation from the Chen family, he later fled to Shanghai..."

"It wasn't until Liu Weicheng of the Zhou family was promoted to vice mayor and returned from attracting investment that I dared to return to Liancheng and invest in the Liancheng NP Intelligent Computing Power Company. Later, I was used as a tool by the Zhou family to expand our territory in Zhengzhou and build ZG."

"At the beginning of this year, the secretary of the Liancheng Municipal Party Committee was placed under investigation, which affected all the key municipal projects in Liancheng, including the intelligent NP computing power at that time. The Chen family, the Zhou family, investment institutions, and some small shareholders all withdrew their investments, and I suddenly had a debt of 5.8 million yuan."

"Hao Nian'an, the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Liancheng City, approached me and offered me projects and engineering projects. So I established the Ya Hong Group. His purpose was to use me as a front. Once everything was settled, he sent the Public Security Bureau to summon me directly, set charges against me, and directly reaped my benefits, transferring everything to the Hao family."

"Fortunately, at that time, the Party Secretary of Liancheng City was parachuted in, who was Sister Tong. The result of the power struggle at the top ultimately affected me. Ya Hong Group entered a period of growth and development. Sister Tong even took me to the provincial capital to meet your father, and finally finalized the Three Kingdoms Entertainment City project."

"Everything in Liancheng returned to stability. Later, in the provincial capital, as you know, NM Blind Box Company was established, DJ Short Drama Company was acquired, and Qiu Zhanyu dragged me into filling a 2 million yuan hole..."

Chen Yitang stared at me blankly: "All of this happened in the last two years?"

I nodded.

Chen Yitang felt that my life had been more exciting than hers.

"How did you manage to do all that all by yourself?"

"So I'm very grateful to Uncle Zhou, Aunt Dong, and Sister Tong. If it weren't for Uncle Zhou using the provincial police force and deploying police from other areas when Secretary Hao Nian'an set up that trap, I'd probably be in Liancheng Prison right now, and there wouldn't be any President Shen here."

I feel a bit self-deprecating. Looking back, I admit I'm not a good person, and I haven't done business in a very ethical way. But in the end, I've returned the misappropriated project funds and the funds raised.

However, it's still too difficult.

"Why did you do this? Why did you grow the business so big? One entertainment complex is enough. In Liancheng, you're practically a local tyrant. Why did you have to come to the provincial capital to expand?"

…………

Unexplainable.

"Is it because of that Crown Princess in the capital?"

I nodded.

Chen Yitang kept her head down, not asking about her female confidantes, nor how many women she had in Liancheng.

If Qiu Zhanyu could tolerate Wu Yingrong's presence, how much more so could the two of us who hadn't yet confessed our feelings?

Time passed little by little.

Xiaoqi finally arrived at Kongxincheng in his car.

Open the door and get out of the car.

Chen Yitang went a long way.

His back view was lonely.

I kept watching her until I saw her shoulders twitching.

I immediately took a few steps forward and called out, "Sister-in-law!"

Chen Yitang immediately turned around and rushed into my arms.

Regardless of anything else, the more passionate her kiss, the deeper my response. The woman's lips were thin and soft, and tears streamed down her cheeks, landing at the corners of her mouth, mingling with our saliva.

It's a bit salty.

Their lips parted, and Chen Yitang breathed heavily.

The woman turned and left, never looking back.

"Please don't speak, just let me have some peace and quiet..."
