Tang Mingkun raised his eyebrows slightly. He picked up the teacup beside him and took a few sips. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The taste was really good. His good friend knew how to enjoy good tea as always. He looked at the spacious courtyard, the meticulously built fish pond in the middle, and the various stone sculptures in various positions. Those who didn’t know better would probably think that they were visiting an art exhibition.
However, in his opinion, Old Wen really liked art. He always found all kinds of reasons to collect famous paintings or pottery. He even specially built a storage room for his collectibles. If he didn’t go down the career path of an official, he would probably have become an outstanding artist.
This was because Old Wen’s calligraphy alone could be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the highest price could reach a million yuan. Unfortunately, this person wrote everything based on inspiration. Sometimes, it was normal for him to not open for business for a few years. Moreover, Old Wen did not rely on this for a living.
At this moment, a light breeze blew. The big hundred-year-old banyan tree behind the two of them rustled. A few leaves fell, adding some color to this harmonious scene.
“Do I look like a fool? The moment you came over, you were all praise for your godson. In addition, I heard not long ago that you went around looking for many old friends for that kid, so I guessed that you probably have something to ask of me. Look, you even specially brought me my favorite Maotai liquor! I don’t believe you’re here to chat!”
Old Wen paused for a moment before continuing, “We’ve been together for so many years. How can I not know what you’re thinking? I happen to be in charge in the capital now. It has to do with land, right? Don’t hide it. Which land does your godson want me to approve?”
“Hahahaha, your reaction is as fast as ever. Then I’ll get straight to the point. I want to apply for a large commercial land in Shaping. That kid plans to expand the Qianyu Corporation’s industrial park several times. What do you think? Old Wen, you can’t be so stingy, right?”
Tang Mingkun’s words were obviously teasing, while Old Wen’s eyes widened slightly. How could he not understand what he meant?
Hence, he raised his right fist and punched the other party’s shoulder. He said, “Sure! You’re an old fox, so your son is a little fox! I haven’t even revealed the news, but you already know? What’s the situation? Did you guess it or did someone tell you?”
He was really curious. After all, Shaping had just become a satellite city not long ago, and it was not time to reveal information to the media. Where did these two get the information from? Could they have gathered information from others? How is that possible? People like us have always been tight-lipped. Why would we disclose such big news for no reason?
And the reason he was so surprised was because Shaping was going to be satellite city, which was not a small matter. Once it was built, it would be closely connected with the central city and the surrounding towns. Whether it was business, culture, or official communication, the intercity growth would continue to develop. It could be said to be a treasure land.
Anyone who wanted to make money would rack their brains to apply for a development permit. One could imagine how popular it was!
“My godson had previously felt that Shaping would become a satellite city. To confirm his guess, he went to chat with the director of the Shanghai Environmental Protection Bureau. Although the other party’s answer was not certain, from the clues, he was not wrong.”
At this point, Tang Mingkun’s face was filled with pride. His godson was indeed capable! Such wicked foresight was probably something that even dinosaurs like them could not compare to. At least before this, he had not heard anyone guess that Shaping would become a satellite city.

“So? Are you going to approve it or not?”
Old Wen was silent for a long time. He played with the fan in his hand. After an unknown period of time, he sighed helplessly and said, “Alright, on account of our many years of friendship, this matter is settled. Go back and ask your godson to write the application letter. I’ll sign it…”
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Mingkun took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket and said with a smile, “I’ve already prepared it. You can sign it now. The earlier this matter is settled, the earlier I will feel at ease. It won’t be good if something happens midway.”
Seeing his good friend so eager, questions inevitably arose in his mind. Did Lu Ming and Tang Mingkun plan this in advance? Could it be that every step I take is within their expectations? They are really smart!
Old Wen snorted and signed his name on it. “I don’t want to see you again for a while. You have to take something from me every time before you’re satisfied. Last time, it was a local specialty that someone gave me. Last last time, it was my precious blue and white porcelain. This time, it’s a piece of land!”
He seemed to have thought of something and said in confusion, “I heard that your godson has a bad relationship with the Tang family. If he continues to develop here, won’t he be restricted? The Tang family might even find his weakness and send him into the tiger’s den. Aren’t you worried? Although I don’t know what your godson is thinking, I really can’t understand why he came to develop in the enemy’s territory.”
“Of course I’m not worried.”
Tang Mingkun said in a relaxed tone. He picked up the teapot and poured some more tea into the teacup before calmly drinking a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Old Wen suddenly thought of a possibility. His pupils constricted, and in the next second, he met his old friend’s gaze and said, “Old Tang, are you planning to bring your godson to meet that person? Are you sure you’re not grooming a successor? It’s impossible for an ordinary person like me to meet that person.”
Even he would only be considered an ordinary person in front of that person. This showed how respected that person was. And that person was also Tang Mingkun’s greatest network! The reason why Tang Mingkun could stand tall for so many years was because of that person!
“Are you out of your mind? I remember that your godson’s name is Lu Ming, right? He doesn’t have the same surname as you. Are you willing to give the Tang family business to an outsider? Moreover, he has someone else’s blood in his veins. What will others think of the Tang family?”
He tried his best to persuade him. For an influential family like the Tang family, blood ties were the most important. No matter how good their relationship is, he won’t do this, right? Isn’t this equivalent to cutting his own lineage? There are clearly better candidates, but why did he choose Lu Ming? He almost suspected that Lu Ming was Old Tang’s illegitimate son.
“I think you should think about it. There’s more to this than meets the eye.”
