Chapter 1956: Beast
The Wu family had suffered a series of disasters at the hands of this beast.
Nangong Nuannuan was amused by Wu Zongxu’s words. She had not been expecting to meet such a simple-minded villain today.
“Oh, then who is prepared to help you out? What did they promise you?”
“Secretary Xu.”
“Which Secretary Xu?”
“Secretary Xu, Xu Binren’s secretary.”
“What did he tell you? What did he promise you?”
“At the time, I wanted to start my own company, but I was short of money. I asked Wu Jingzhong for money, but not only did he not support me, he even lectured me! He said that my second uncle was so good to me and had already made me the deputy general manager of a listed company. He said that I didn’t want to study hard and asked why I wanted to run before even learning how to walk. In short, my so-called father would rather donate money to child victims in disaster areas to supplement his good reputation than give me money to start a company. How could I not hate him?
“Over the years, I’ve formed many connections in Sea District. When I went to the bank to get a loan, the bank president unexpectedly told my father about my loan. When I returned home, he scolded me harshly and told me to give up. He even said that if I started a company, it would only end up a failure.
“He not only scolded me but spoke to all my friends’ families! He made sure that if I ever wanted to borrow money, they would never lend it to me. I really despise him! I want him to die!
“After that, Secretary Xu found out that I needed money, so he came to me. He said that I was only the adopted son of the Wu family, and adopted sons were usually no different from subordinates like him. If I wanted to truly be my own master, I had to learn to be flexible. He said that he would give me an upfront payment of 100 million to get Wu Jingzhong kicked out of his current position. Once the deed was done, he would give me another 400 million as start-up capital for my company. He also said that I was not the best person to start and manage a company, so he suggested that after Wu Jingzhong was taken down, I should go to the administrative office and hire a professional manager to manage the company. This way, I could start my company and have someone keep it running.
“At that time, the three Wu family relatives wanted to take on the project, so they came to our house every day to make trouble. Eventually, the Wu family cut off relations with them. They also hated Wu Jingzhong, so I spoke to them and gave them the project, making sure that it would not be done well.”
Seeing how Wu Zongxu was so immersed in the joy and madness of harming his father, the members of the Wu family’s blood boiled.
Wu Zongyang was so furious that he wanted to rush forward and kick Wu Zongxu, but Nangong Nuannuan stopped him.
“Zongyang!” Elder Wu and Wu Jingcheng yelled. Only then did Wu Zongyang contain his anger and continue to listen to the rest of the story.
Basically, Wu Zongxu’s agreement with the three relatives was for them to build a good-looking road—but one without a solid foundation.
Wu Zongxu stole Wu Jingzhong’s private seal while he was taking a shower and stamped each of the two contracts. He had already learned Wu Jingzhong’s signature long ago, so he forged Wu Jingzhong’s signature to sign off on the two contracts.
One of the two contracts was to divide a four-mile-long road into 31 sections that were each less than 65 feet long. Without having to go through a bidding process, the construction of the road was directly subcontracted to the three Wu relatives.
