Chapter 648 - 648 Deal
The owner of the noodle shop greeted her warmly, “President Chu! You’re here again!”
Chu Ning nodded with a smile and sat down in the seat she had occupied when she had first visited.
Minister Niu had not arrived yet. Chu Ning sat in her seat and ordered the bowl of noodles that she had eaten previously. As she ate, she calmed herself down.
This matter was really a huge piece of fat. Anyone who knew about it would fight crazily for it. Chu Ning remembered that Yang Feng and the others wanted to collaborate with her for the Greenland Group development. If they knew that the benefits of this land could be increased by ten times, they would probably fight to the death.
Fortunately, she had received this news in advance. With the development of another piece of land as a smokescreen, she had enough time to make preparations and also helped Minister Niu solve another big problem. Now, she was determined to get this piece of land.
Chu Ning slurped down her noodles. Minister Niu was not late either. He sat opposite Chu Ning as soon as he entered.
Chu Ning sized Minister Niu up. He looked good, although he had been caught off guard by the relationships and the complicated story.
However, it was obvious that his elders did not make things too difficult for him, so he did not feel tired, as though he was trapped in a family drama. He seemed rather relaxed.
“Chu Ning, I promised you back then that you can ask for anything. As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll do my best.” Minister Niu was the first to speak up.
Chu Ning smiled. “You’re too kind, Minister Niu. I just don’t know how Miss Wu Yi is doing recently?”
At the mention of his niece, Minister Niu’s eyes were filled with pain. “Little Yi is a very good child. It’s just that her life has been a little tough these past few years. She gets along well with my daughter and is outstanding in all aspects.”
Then, Minister Niu sighed. “My daughter knew that you were the one who sponsored Little Yi. Her heart ached for her and she heaped praised on you at the same time. She even asked me to look for an opportunity for her to give her thanks to you.”
Chu Ning smiled. “Your daughter is very lively and cheerful. It’s okay. If you want, I can meet her anytime.”
Minister Niu was silent for a moment. “Chu Ning, speaking of which, I really have to thank you. Thank you for helping my mother fulfill a wish and helping me find my birth mother.”
Hearing this, the smile on Chu Ning’s face became much more genuine. “I have a favor to ask of you as well. I’m also willing to help with such a perfect thing.”
Minister Niu glanced at her. “So, you don’t have to be polite. If there’s anything, just say it.”
Chu Ning chuckled and took out a map. She pointed at the area that was drawn on it and dropped a bombshell, “I want to buy this piece of land.”
Minister Niu ordered a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap. Just as he drank it, he looked down at the area that was circled and was so startled that the cap fell off his hand.
“Have you gotten wind of any gossip?” He stared at Chu Ning with wide eyes.
Chu Ning smiled mysteriously. “Minister Niu, don’t ask so many questions. Will you help me with this?”
Minister Niu took a sip of water to suppress his shock. He pushed the map in front of him towards Chu Ning. “You’ve got the wrong person. Buying land use rights should be the job of the Land Management Bureau. I’m from the Administrative Planning Bureau. I can’t help you.”
Chu Ning smiled and pushed the map in front of Minister Niu. “I know you have a way of getting things done.” It was not her first time buying land. Everyone knew that the Land Management Bureau was like a sieve. By the time she came to them, without waiting for approval, such a massive piece of land would have been snatched up at a high price by the big shots of those corporations.
Those people from the Land Management Bureau would give it to whoever offered the highest price. They didn’t have to do anything. Once the name on the contract was changed, the price might double.
Chu Ning was aware that she had many enemies, and she also knew that her current status could not compete with the elites of M City.
She thought about it and realized that the Administrative Planning Department had done a lot of research on this land and had a close relationship with the Land Management Bureau.
The people from the Land Management Bureau still had to show respect to Minister Niu. Speaking of which, it was just a matter of a few words. The price might even be lowered.
Minister Niu looked at Chu Ning’s sincere gaze and cursed this little girl in his heart for being so cunning. In the end, he nodded weakly. “Alright, wait for the news.”
Before Chu Ning could open her mouth, Minister Niu quickly added, “But I’m not sure either. Don’t blame me if it doesn’t work.”
