“Sure, I am going ahead with the construction, why would I not?”

At this point, Shen Liangchuan looked at Song Cheng again and asked, “Did anyone ask to buy our property?”

Song Cheng glanced at the situation outside and finally shook his head.

Shen Liangchuan’s eyes darkened as he said, “That’s good then.”

“What?” Song Cheng said in astonishment.

Qiao Lian looked at Shen Liangchuan, wondering why he was still expressionless at a time like this. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. All she had was a vague feeling that he had everything under control.

–

In the Lu family villa.

Lu Nanze stared at the screen steadily. It was the news livestream of the situation onsite. He laughed icily.

With the rumors he had started, in addition to the few people he had sent to the pre-sales venue to fan the fire, it looked like they would soon have to wind down the housing project.

So Shen Liangchuan wanted to help Qiao Lian settle this business? Had he asked for permission to do so?

Lu Nanze’s intention was to have the other man’s efforts completely go to waste!

He smiled menacingly, certain of having the last laugh concerning the housing project’s pre-sales.

At this point, no one in their right mind would buy a house from them. And if the units didn’t sell like hotcakes on the first day…

The vicious man chortled and lifted his gaze to look at the time.

The pre-sales were going to start at 9 am.

In order words, at 9 a.m., it would be time for him to sit back and be entertained!

Time went by. He watched Song Cheng taking care of the refunds and signing the pertinent agreements. Lu Nanze’s lips turned upwards in a wicked smile.

9 a.m. sharp.

The housing project’s pre-sales commenced.

The pre-sales’ price was also to be announced.

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes and waited to watch an embarra.s.sed Shen Liangchuan announce the property price to an empty queue.

At this point, the main door opened.

Shen Liangchuan walked out. Behind him, Song Cheng held up a sign and hung it outside the entrance.

When Lu Nanze saw the text on the sign, his eyes narrowed and he immediately jumped up.

Initially, he had thought that the sign would show the property price. But now, he saw that the sign only said: “Temporarily Not For Sale!”

Temporarily not for sale.

Was this because Shen Liangchuan knew that no one would come forward to buy, so this was just so he wouldn’t look bad?

Lu Nanze snorted. Even if he was going to halt the pre-sales now, he would have to sell the units at some point, wouldn’t he?

He would wait for the time, then.

–

In the hotel.

Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan returned to their room.

Shen Liangchuan came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Qiao Lian looked at him intently and hurriedly stood up. She dashed up to him and said, “Shen Liangchuan, are you hiding something from me?”

The man immediately laughed upon hearing these words. “You finally realized?”

She nodded at once and said, “Yes, you knew from the start that Lu Nanze would try to damage us, but you didn’t try to promote it in advance. Even on the first day of the pre-sales, you put up a sign to say that you’re not selling in the end. On the surface, it looks like you’re completely defeated. This is not your style at all!”

Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes and said, “If I’m not wrong, we should have some news within a couple of days.”

“What sort of news?”

As soon as she said this, Shen Liangchuan’s cell phone suddenly rang.

He strode over, looked at the number id and hurriedly picked up the call. He listened to what was being said and suddenly, his darkened eyes lit up.

After hanging up, he looked at Qiao Lian and smiled triumphantly.

Completely puzzled now, Qiao Lian asked, “Is there some sort of good news?”

Shen Liangchuan nodded in a rare display of delight. “Really good news! The government has launched a new policy! They will announce it tomorrow. In the next half a year, property prices will show an important growth. Qiao Lian, our gamble this time has paid off, we’ve won!”
