Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 46 Blinded by Greed! Young Master Liang's Comfort and Happiness!

Handong.

Jingzhou Grand Hotel.

Under the cover of night, the atmosphere in the luxurious lakeside private room was lively.

Yu Haifeng, a burly man with a thick waist and a big belly, and a slicked-back hairstyle, smiled as he poured Moutai for Liang Wei.

"We must thank Brother Wei for our company's success in winning the bid for the Jingzhou-Yantai National Highway expansion and renovation project today."

"Without your help, Brother Wei, how could I, Yu Haifeng, have such great ability to win such a large engineering project?"

Liang Wei, sitting in the main seat, smiled faintly.

"Mr. Yu is joking."

"Your company won this big project because of your capabilities, not because of me!"

Despite saying it was okay, Liang Wei still reached out and picked up the wine glass.

"We have the ability, but luck is also very important!"

"Isn't it my greatest honor, Yu Haifeng, to know you, Brother Wei?"

After putting down the bottle, Yu Haifeng quickly picked up the wine glass with both hands, his back hunched over with a big smile on his face.

"I won't say anything more. It's all in the wine. I'll drink it all, you can drink as you please!"

Yu Haifeng gently clinked his wine glass with Liang Wei's.

Moreover, the rim of the cup was much lower than Liang Wei's.

He then downed the entire glass of baijiu in one gulp.

After finishing the drink, he turned it over to show that not a drop was left.

As for Liang Wei...

He didn't just take a small sip.

However, none of the people present dared to say anything against it.

As soon as Yu Haifeng put down his wine glass, he quickly grabbed the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of bear paw meat for Liang Wei.

"Brother Wei, you should try this bear paw meat. It's especially delicious and nutritious."

Liang Wei frowned slightly and sneered:

"Mr. Yu, you're quite capable!"

"Bears are protected wild animals in our Dragon Country, how could you possibly get your hands on them to steam bear paws?"

Yu Haifeng quickly flattered, "Brother Wei, don't worry, the bear we're eating is artificially raised by my friend, not a wild protected animal."

"Really? Then I'll try it."

Liang Wei picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the meat, and found it to be quite delicious.

Steamed bear paw is a famous dish with a long history.

However, because bears have become protected animals, this dish has gradually become a legend.

There are definitely many people who want to eat it, but not many chefs dare to make it.

Most importantly, the ingredients are hard to come by.

But at this moment...

This famous dish, which ordinary people have never even seen before, was not only right in front of them, but they also got to taste it themselves.

In addition, the bidding results were officially announced in the afternoon.

Yu Haifeng immediately spent a huge sum of money to buy a large number of high-quality counterfeit antiques from the antique shop he controlled behind the scenes.

More than ten million was obtained so easily.

In addition to the benefits he had previously gained from helping people make connections and settling cases for them.

In less than three months, he easily earned tens of millions.

He enjoyed countless top-notch delicacies and stunningly beautiful women.

The bosses treated him with utmost deference and fawned over him.

Perhaps even the emperors of ancient times never enjoyed themselves like this.

Let's think back to the past.

Mingming's father held a high position of power and influence, serving as the Secretary of Law and Politics in Handong.

Despite having such a powerful backer, he remained incorruptible and honest, refusing to take anything.

Is he out of his mind?!

How much money did you lose?

How many more comfortable days have we missed out on?

In pursuit of Lu Yike, a woman who is like a tomboy.

He actually had to pool his money with his whole family to afford a Santana sedan worth 120,000 yuan.

Isn't this a joke?

If I had known that exchanging power for money was so easy, with such a strong background and connections, I would have had so many people showering me with money and gifts with just a hint. Why did I have to go through all that trouble in the first place?

but……

Now that I've learned my lesson and realized my mistake, it's not too late.

In less than three months, he earned more money than an average person could earn in several lifetimes.

Moreover, even though his father is about to retire, his influence remains, and the connections he has built up over many years of work in the political and legal system are still there.

Therefore, my comfortable and happy days can continue indefinitely.

Thinking of this, Liang Wei took the initiative to reach for his chopsticks and pick up another piece of bear meat.

"The taste is indeed very good, and this dish suits my taste quite well."

"Brother Wei, if you ever crave steamed bear paw again, just come here anytime, or let me know and I'll arrange for a top-notch chef to come to your door!"

"Let's forget about door-to-door service. If my old man sees it, he'll be furious. Even if it's artificially raised, he'll still get a scolding."

The clever Yu Haifeng immediately understood the implication.

He leaned slightly closer and chuckled softly with utmost humility:

"Brother Wei, you may not know this, but the neighborhood next door was developed by me. There's a detached villa there that's been vacant for many years. If you don't mind, I'll have someone bring the keys over right away."

Liang Wei shook his head slightly.

"You can live in your villa yourself. If I want to live there, I'll buy it myself."

"How about I sell it to you for a million?"

Yu Haifeng asked with a smile.

"Sell me a detached villa for a million? Mr. Yu, isn't that a losing proposition?"

Liang Wei smiled knowingly; he knew exactly what Yu Haifeng was planning.

"Oh, Brother Wei, my villa has been vacant for years. It's too big and I haven't been able to sell it. You're helping me clear out my inventory. I'm so grateful!"

As he spoke, Yu Haifeng filled his glass again and then, as a gesture of gratitude, toasted Liang Wei once more.

A luxuriously decorated detached villa worth tens of millions was sold to Liang Wei for only one million.

For Haifeng, this kind of "loss-making deal" was like a great joy.

As soon as the two finished drinking, He Biao, the owner of Lincheng Coal Mine who had been eager to strike up a conversation, quickly came over, bent down, and poured more wine.

"Brother Wei, you really have a great capacity for alcohol. I admire you."

"But Brother Wei bought the villa that President Yu couldn't sell for years, could you do me a favor too?"

Liang Wei turned his head and glanced sideways at He Biao, who was as strong as an ox but was bowing and scraping.

"What kind of help? Do you want to sell your coal mine to me for a million?"

What may seem like a casual joke is often a genuine expression of emotion.

With the economy developing in recent years, the ever-increasing electricity consumption has led to a continuous rise in coal prices in China, a country that mainly relies on thermal power generation.

If someone owns a coal mine, it's like having a money printing machine.

Therefore, coal bosses have become synonymous with 'rich people'.

Driven by greed, Liang Wei naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie in the coal industry.

They wanted to buy a coal mine with annual profits of tens of millions for just one million.

If it were anyone else, He Biao would have slapped them across the face immediately.

But the person saying this now is Liang Wei.

The son of Liang Qunfeng, the third-in-command of Handong Province!

Countless small business owners would never even dream of meeting the sons of powerful and wealthy families!

and so……

Even if He Biao had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to show any displeasure in front of Liang Wei.

Instead, he immediately beamed and bent down, saying:

"If Brother Wei likes our family's coal mine, you don't need a million; I'll give it to you for free!"

"Given away for free? Really?"

Liang Wei turned slightly to the side, his interest growing even stronger.

He knew that He Biao must need something from him.

I have a strong network of contacts and background.

Helping solve some minor problems can earn you dividends and shares – isn't that great?

"Brother Wei, you don't know this, but the coal business is very profitable, but it's also very risky."

“Our coal mines in Lincheng have been mined for many years, and there are not many reserves left, but there are still many subsidence areas.”

"A collapse occurred at my coal mine a couple of days ago, so if you like it, I'll give it to you for free."

He Biao's words immediately drew a barrage of insults from Yu Haifeng.

"Hey, you stinking bastard!"

"Where are you delivering coal to Brother Wei?"

"You've clearly handed me a hot potato!"

"I bet your coal mine is an unlicensed illegal mine, right?"

"And this collapse probably buried a lot of miners alive underneath, right?"

He Biao said with a bitter expression, "In Lincheng over the years, there have been many coal mines that have started operating without permits. It's not just me."

"As for the accident... some people were indeed buried, but as long as Brother Wei is willing to help me, what's a little thing like this? Right, Brother Wei!"

After putting down the bottle, He Biao smiled and raised his glass with both hands, intending to offer a toast.

And what about Liang Wei?

He felt a chill run down his spine.

I knew it all along; there's no such thing as a free lunch.

These unscrupulous businessmen, calling him "Brother Wei" repeatedly and fawning over those around them, clearly have their own ulterior motives.

But he never expected that He Biao had such a big plan.

A mining accident!

This is a matter of life and death!

If this gets out of hand, who knows how many people will be implicated.

"I was just joking. I have absolutely no interest in coal mines."

As he spoke, Liang Wei symbolically picked up his wine glass and clinked it against He Biao's.

But this time.

Liang Wei drank the wine, but He Biao stood there motionless with a bitter face.

"Brother Wei, I've already reached out to all my connections in the county and city, but none of them can help me."

"It took me a lot of effort to have the honor of meeting you, Brother Wei."

"Everyone says that there's nothing in Handong that Brother Wei can't handle."

"Please have pity on me and help me out, okay?"

"I will definitely work like a slave to repay your great kindness!"

After saying that, He Biao, who was clearly a strong man, suddenly knelt down with a thud.

After downing a full glass of baijiu in one gulp, he slumped down in front of Liang Wei.

Like a plump, strong, yet obedient wolfhound, begging for its master's mercy...
