Chapter 2533 Why Not Turn the Tables and Trick Qiao Zhendong?

Chapter 2533

Jiang Wan nodded and said, "Perhaps it's not enough."

He paused, then added, "Believe me, this project is a huge pit that Qiao Zhendong has dug for you."

"If I'm not mistaken, they'll set traps for you when discussing projects, like getting you to go drinking with someone."

"Then they'll discuss this matter and try to harm you at the banquet, either by poisoning you, drugging you, or sending someone to intercept and kill you."

Even if you manage to avoid it in the end, the other party still won't sign a contract with you, and all your energy will be tied up in this.

"Besides, even if you get the contract, you can't meet the conditions inside."

"Will the government approve this project? Will this bridge connect Shenzhen or Zhuhai?"

"How could a Hong Kong businessman like you possibly contact Shenzhen and allow the construction of this bridge? This is already a national-level construction project."

Hai Jing frowned and said, "Could it be that he knows I'm a Chinese military officer, so he plans to have me negotiate with the Chinese side?"

Jiang Wan shook her head and said, "I'm not sure what they're thinking."

"But I can tell you with certainty that you can't win this project. Even if you do, you won't have the technology or the money."

The seascape fell silent.

He believed what Jiang Wan said because this sister-in-law really had something special about her.

If she says it, it will definitely come true.

However, since Qiao Zhendong has given him this project and he has agreed to it, it's probably not going to work out now.

Seeing Hai Jing remain silent, Qiao Ya said with some concern, "Otherwise, I'll go back to my dad and talk to him. If he doesn't agree, I'll cry and whine to him."

“Even if he’s not my biological father, if I keep making a scene like this, he won’t be able to take it anymore. He’ll eventually give in.”

Jiang Wan then said, "I think you don't need to try to persuade him."

Qiao Ya looked at her in surprise and asked, puzzled, "Why? Are you just going to leave it like this?"

"This is the first project Qiao Zhendong gave Haijing after he entered the Qiao family. If this project cannot be completed, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Qiao family."

“We can’t touch Qiao Zhendong right now. We can’t just let him suppress us like this.”

Jiang Wan said with a smile, "Can't we use this project to set a trap for him?"

Her words excited Haijing and Qiaoya, who both looked at her with bright, expectant eyes.

Haijing and Qiaoya returned on the afternoon of the second day.

Upon returning, they began packing their things in a grand manner, preparing to go out.

Qiao Zhendong, having received the news, came over and asked, "Where are you going?"

Qiao Ya said, "Didn't you give that project to Haijing? Haijing is preparing to go to China to discuss this matter."

“It would definitely not work if he used his identity as an ordinary citizen, so he planned to try to get the project done through the military.”

After a pause, he turned to Qiao Zhendong and said, "Dad, I'm going with him because he's never done business before, and I'm worried he won't be able to find a way in. If anything happens, I'll call you."

Qiao Zhendong looked at him strangely. He glanced at Hai Jing with a puzzled expression and saw that Hai Jing was indeed packing his luggage very seriously and looking very expectant, so he said nothing.

Haijing and Qiao Ya left quickly. After they left, Qiao Xinran found Qiao Zhendong and asked:

Are you just going to let them go back like this?

Qiao Zhendong said, "They're going to discuss this project, and they'll naturally run into obstacles. Why should I stop them?"

Qiao Xinran said, "Aren't you afraid they'll actually come to an agreement?"

Qiao Zhendong looked at her with surprise: "Do you know just how much profit this cross-sea bridge project will generate?"

"If he can really reach an agreement, and China is willing to sign a contract and pay for it, it would be the best thing for our Qiao family."

"But the problem is, he doesn't have the ability. If he wants to cause trouble, let him cause trouble!"

He paused for a moment, then added, "The old master of the Qiao family has now returned."

"That old man is very cunning. Be careful these next few days and don't give yourself away or give him any leverage."

Qiao Xinran readily agreed, but she didn't really take it to heart.

In Qiao Zhendong's view, he is the head of the Qiao family, and the Qiao family is now under his control. Even if the old man has some doubts or wants to do something, he shouldn't go too far.

Therefore, he didn't take it to heart.

But to his utter surprise, no sooner had Qiao Ya and Hai Jing left than the old man came looking for them.

He was followed by dozens of highly skilled bodyguards, all of whom were hired from underground boxing rings in Southeast Asia.

Each person is one against ten.

Qiao Zhendong frowned when he saw this.

With a look of shock on his face, he asked, "Father, what brings you here?"

There was another person accompanying Old Master Qiao, and that was Jiang Wan.

Grandpa Qiao waved his hand, and someone brought over two chairs, one for him and the other for Jiang Wan.

Qiao Zhendong glanced at Jiang Wan with surprise and frowned.

He had seen the woman's photo before; her name should be Jiang Wan, and she was internationally renowned.

Many people want to pay money for her head.

I never expected this woman to come here.

He glanced at Jiang Wan but didn't say anything more, waiting for Old Master Qiao to speak.

Grandpa Qiao said, "I came here to inform you."

“You have been the head of the family for 10 years now. I want to see how well you have done. So, a few days ago, I issued an elders' order to the Qiao family's elders council to audit your accounts.”

The Qiao family is a large family, almost a century-old prominent family.

Mr. Qiao came to Hong Kong alone and started from scratch. However, after his business developed and he made money, he moved the Qiao family's roots from China to Hong Kong.

They brought along several elders and their families from the clan.

Therefore, the real Qiao family was a prominent family that had been around for centuries.

However, the elders of the Qiao family usually stay at their own homes when they have nothing to do and never concern themselves with the Qiao family's business.

All that's needed is a dividend payout at the end of each year.

This time, the Qiao family patriarch issued the elders' decree in order to impeach the family head.

To put it bluntly, the people in his family don't trust Qiao Zhendong, so they plan to check the accounts.

Qiao Zhendong's face turned pale. He had already emptied the entire Qiao family's coffers. If they were to audit the accounts, he would be in serious trouble.

By then, I reckon Old Master Qiao will tear him apart alive.

His eyes darted around, and an idea formed in his mind. He quickly said, "Okay, I'll cooperate right away."

As he spoke, he turned and went to the study to take out a stack of account books, which he handed to Old Master Qiao.

Grandpa Qiao turned to look at Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan nodded.

Then he brought over a large box, opened it, and took out a scanner that Kongling had made by hand, along with a small computer.
