Liu Jianguo spotted Yang Fei from afar and started calling out to him.

"Brother Yang Fei, how co you have the ti to drop by?"

Laughing heartily, he quickened his pace and reached Yang Fei in just a few steps.

"Why didn't you co in to sit? Please, co in."

Yang Fei, on the other hand, felt sowhat embarrassed.

"Uncle Liu, maybe we should just forget it?"

Not far away, Liu Chan and Mother Liu Chan stopped their argunt.

Liu Chan rushed over like putting out a fire and supported her father.

She proudly reported her rit to her father.

"Dad, Big Brother Yang heard that your rheumatism has flared up again and specially ca over to give you acupuncture."

Liu Jianguo happily grasped Yang Fei's hand.

"Brother Yang's acupuncture is really miraculous, thank you so much."

When Mother Liu Chan heard that Yang Fei had specially co to give Liu Jianguo acupuncture, her expression improved a lot.

Liu Chan took hold of Yang Fei's hand.

"Big Brother Yang, I just happened to buy so locust honey, I'll let you try so later."

As soon as Mother Liu Chan saw Liu Chan holding Yang Fei's hand, she rushed over like putting out a fire.

She used her body to separate the two and glared fiercely at her daughter.

"I'm sorry, Yang Fei, I didn't know you'd co specially to give Old Liu acupuncture, the house is a ss, please don't mind it."

Yang Fei humbly kept saying he dared not.

Once inside Liu Chan's ho, Liu Chan imdiately brewed tea with great hospitality and served peanuts and fruits.

The mont Yang Fei saw Liu Jianguo's complexion, he beca alert.

"Uncle Liu, you've been invaded by the cold, no wonder your rheumatism has relapsed."

Liu Jianguo, with a wry smile, gestured for Yang Fei to have tea.

"What can be done? The company is doing worse and worse."

"Finally, we got a small project for a water storage cellar, a chance to make so money, so I had no choice but to get into the water and work."

Yang Fei was astounded.

"Longquan Construction Company is even taking on minor projects like water cellars now?"

Liu Jianguo sighed deeply, "Actually, with the company's financial situation, we're almost unable to front the money for even these small projects."

"This is a welfare project assigned by the Governnt Office. If we don't take it, we'd be left with nothing but starving."

Yang Fei hadn't expected Longquan Construction Company's situation to be so dire.

He couldn't help feeling sentintal, "As far as I know, Longquan Construction Limited Company holds a national level two construction certificate."

"A big company like that, capable of handling real estate developnt projects, how could it have fallen so low?"

Hearing this, Mother Liu Chan chid in with a tone that seed to be rebuking Liu Jianguo for not living up to expectations.

"Ai, Yang Fei, don't bother ntioning his lousy company."

"A bunch of grown n, holding onto their positions, just idling away without the willingness to work hard."

"The company's assets have been squandered by the company leaders long ago, now there's nothing left but an empty shell."

"The talented ones have all gone out on their own to make a fortune, only your Uncle Liu, stubborn as he is, stayed with the company."

Liu Jianguo glared at Mother Liu Chan with dissatisfaction, "What would you know, being a woman?"

"All the engineers at the company have left, and only I, who can survey and work, am left as a technical staff mber."

"If I leave as well, what will the ordinary workers do? They can't even handle the basic work."

Mother Liu Chan rolled her eyes contemptuously.

"You're like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river, barely able to save yourself, and you still care about others' lives and deaths?"

"If you've got the ability, co up with the twelve thousand yuan for your daughter's tuition fee!"

"I…"

At this, Liu Jianguo's face turned red and he was left speechless by his wife's retort.

Seeing that the couple was about to start arguing again, Yang Fei hastily tried to diate.

"Uncle, Auntie, actually you're both right, Uncle Liu is an upright and gallant man, I've always admired that."

```

"Humph, what's the use of being a good person these days?"

Mother Liu Chan snorted with disdain and glared at Liu Jianguo, then, with an angry sweep of the curtain, stord out.

Yang Fei and Liu Jianguo had been discussing Longquan Construction Developnt Co., Ltd. when a sudden idea struck him.

"Uncle Liu, do you know if Longquan Company might be up for sale?"

Liu Jianguo looked at Yang Fei in surprise.

"Of course it's for sale, but the company's liabilities exceed its assets, and it's seriously in the red."

"Who would want to take over such a hot potato?"

Yang Fei pondered for a mont, then lifted his head, his expression very serious.

"Uncle Liu, tell honestly, can the company's employees still be rallied to make a big push?"

Liu Jianguo straightened his back, his face showing a proud countenance.

"They'd certainly be willing. It's just that the leadership has disheartened them and made them lose hope."

He said indignantly, "Just think, three years ago, Longquan Construction Limited Company was a thriving big firm."

"But three consecutive leaders accomplished nothing significant. Even if everyone worked hard on the projects, the pay remained the sa, and bonuses were few and far between."

"All that extra money was siphoned off by those leaders with hearts of darkness; who then would still want to exert effort for the company?"

He raised his voice as he spoke, "These parasites only think of saving the company when it's on the brink of collapse."

"But now, with a serious cash flow problem, banks are pressing us for loan repaynts every day."

"Apart from so construction materials and tools, and a few qualifications certificates, the company has nothing left."

Yang Fei was confident.

"As long as we have the construction qualifications certificates, everything else is not a big problem."

Liu Jianguo suddenly realized sothing and stared at Yang Fei, astonished.

"What, do you have a way to save Longquan Construction Limited Company?"

Liu Chan, listening to the two n's conversation from the side, also widened her clear, bright eyes.

She looked at Yang Fei with uncertain astonishnt.

Yang Fei gave a wry smile.

"I'm thinking of acquiring Longquan Construction Limited Company. Is that feasible?"

Yang Fei had his own plans in mind.

Lanting Hotel was about to put out a tender for reconstruction, and the expansion and renovation of Hongda Pier had also been settled with Secretary Luo.

All these major construction projects required bidding, and the hiring of qualified big companies to undertake them.

Given the circumstances, why shouldn't Lanting Hotel simply set up its own construction firm?

Although Longquan Construction Limited Company was on the verge of bankruptcy,

it held a national level two construction qualification certificate.

Moreover, construction equipnt and tools, including construction workers and engineers, were all fully in place.

Acquiring such a construction company held significant importance for the future large-scale building projects,

and it was an opportunity to make a large profit.

Liu Jianguo didn't know the true extent of Yang Fei's resources.

In his eyes, Yang Fei was just an odd-job man at a hotel.

Hearing him say sothing so "audacious," he opened his mouth wide in uncertain surprise.

After a long mont, Liu Jianguo sighed and tried to soften his tone.

"Yang Fei, no disrespect, but even though Longquan Company has fallen, it's not sothing just anybody can afford to acquire."

"Even with more liabilities than assets, speaking of taking over and repurposing the company, without tens of millions, there is simply no way to resolve the issues."

"Not to ntion, just the overdue wages for the workers amount to over a million."

Saying this, he shook his head, his face the picture of helplessness.

"You and Uncle Liu are alike in ambition, but without money, nothing can be done."

Mother Liu Chan listened from outside the door, eyeing Yang Fei with scorn.

In her heart, a sense of vigilance stealthily arose.

"Could this fellow really have his sights set on Chan'er, and is he just putting on a front before Old Liu?"
