"I want to say that you don't have to pretend anymore. You are just pretending to keep us here. You just want to monitor us or even control us. You are worried that we will destroy your interests."
Jiang Nan's words hit the nail on the head.
These words left Lin Musen and Lingard speechless.
The two looked at each other, hating Jiang Nan even more.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We have good intentions, and Ruolan also understands my intentions. It's better for you to treat your good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs. It's simply unreasonable. If you don't like it, you can leave now."
Lingard became angry, stamped his feet and pointed at the door.
"I will leave later of course, but I hope you won't fool us as fools. Lan, what do you think?"
Jiang Nan looked at Lin Ruolan. He was not willing to stay in this place for a minute.
If it weren't for his wife and daughter, he would have become ruthless long ago.
"Nan, can you wait a little longer? Since my father has agreed, let's discuss it, okay, dad?"
Lin Ruolan still hoped that they could shake hands and make peace. She still hoped that there could be harmony.
Although, she knew very well that this was very difficult.
"If you sign, then there will be no problem. If you have a better attitude, it will be fine."
Lingard had a stern face, and he didn't like Jiang Nan's son-in-law at all.
If it weren't for some interests, he would have become furious and issued an eviction order.
"I sign."
Lin Ruolan immediately signed and handed the agreement to Lingard.
"Very good, please give instructions to the kitchen. During the meal, add a few seats, invite people, and serve tea."
As for the superficial relationship, Lingard still has to do it.
Although he doesn't want to see Jiang Nan, he still wants to take the face of this agreement into consideration.
Who makes him happy at this moment?
As a businessman, I am naturally happy to see a lot of money coming in.
The servants brought tea, and some were given to Jiang Nan and Lin Ruolan.
Jiang Nan secretly laughed, so what if he won the right to use that big project.
The final decision-making power still lies in Jiangnan's hands.
However, Lin Ruolan was still very relieved. At least there was no quarrel and it was still calm on the surface.
She looked at Jiang Nan gratefully with a smile on her face.
Jiang Nan also nodded, as a courtesy, and sat down to drink tea.
It's time to eat.
At this time, a man came outside, Lin Ruolan's brother-in-law, Song Haobo.
He stroked his glasses, looked at Jiang Nan, and sneered.
"Who do I think I am? I said that my teeth are clogged even if I drink cold water today. It turns out that some people are ignorant and wandering around, which is very annoying."
Song Haobo was sarcastic about the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, Jiangnan understood the meaning.
Jiang Nan glanced at him and didn't take him seriously.
Today, try to be calm and don't be like people like him.
Song Haobo still pushed further.
"Why, even though I'm mute, I still feel shameless and want to find a hole to crawl into."
"Brother-in-law, you should have said enough. Can you say a few words less? Wouldn't it be nice for the family to have a good meal?" Lin Ruolan was ashamed and angry and couldn't stand it anymore.
"Really, in a family, some people are not worthy and do not have the qualifications."
Song Haobo rolled his eyes at Jiangnan, and then he poured wine for Lingard with great enthusiasm.
"Father-in-law, I have finished what you told me and I am just waiting for your words."
Lingard is of course very satisfied with Song Haobo, especially for this big project. Many matters were left to Song Haobo to handle.
It can be said that Song Haobo is the main person in charge and has the right to make decisions.
Coupled with Song Haobo's connections in Nancheng, he was able to do things with ease.
Lingard was very satisfied and nodded frequently.
"Very good. Of course I'm relieved that Haobo is doing the work. Is there anything else that needs to be done?"
"I invited someone over this time. I need to sign some contracts and so on. I've already done that. I just wait for that person to come over later and have a chat."
When Song Haobo said this, his eyes flickered, as if he was hiding something.
None of this escaped Jiang Nan's eyes.
However, Lingard didn't notice it at all.
When you trust a person, you will never doubt any of his actions.
"Who is this? Please tell me earlier and invite him to go out to eat. It's a bit shabby here."
Lingard looked outside, took out his mobile phone, and prepared to order food.
"You're welcome, father-in-law. He knows me very well and doesn't mind the little details. So, you just need to read the contract, sign it, and leave the rest to me."
Song Haobo smiled a little reluctantly, looked at the time, and said: "He is probably arriving soon. I will go out to greet him."
"That's great, Mu Sen, you should go and have a look." Lingard pointed at Lin Musen.
Lin Musen got up and went with Song Haobo.
A few minutes later, a man who looked like a cadre came in behind them, carrying a briefcase and looking a bit dignified.
"Let me introduce, this is Secretary Yang from Nancheng. If this big project wants to be launched in Nancheng, it must get his approval. This is my father-in-law."
Song Haobo only introduced Lingard. As for Jiangnan and Lin Ruolan, he completely turned a blind eye and treated them as if they didn't exist.
Secretary Yang immediately shook hands with Lingard and smiled broadly.
"Hello Mr. Lin, just call me Xiao Yang. Your son-in-law Song Haobo must have told you about the relevant matters. Now you just need to take a look at some of the agreements I have drawn up."
Secretary Yang took out some qualifications and contracts and gave them to Lingard to read.
Lingard took a general look and said, "Hey, my old eyes are dim and I can't understand these complicated things for a while, so I'll leave them to Song Haobo."
"Father-in-law, I've seen it very clearly. I've seen it several times. There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, Secretary Yang and I have a very good personal relationship. You can rest assured. Otherwise, you can take it first and you can take the time to study it more clearly after we have dinner.
"
Song Haobo's move was Tai Chi, with a few feints.
Lingard is also eager. It has been a while since we got this big project, so it’s time to start it as soon as possible.
Now is a good opportunity. Lin Ruolan has transferred the rights to him again. Naturally, he can start at any time.
"Haobo, you just said it out loud. Don't think too much. I can rest assured that you will handle the matter. I don't have to look so carefully. Just sign it and we will start tomorrow."
Lingard signed immediately, while Song Haobo and Secretary Yang stared at each other, looking at each other with evil intentions.
The moment Lingard started writing, Jiang Nan stopped him.
"Wait a minute, father-in-law, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. You should think about it again and look carefully."
"You're crazy. Jiangnan, what trouble are you making? What's your problem?"
Song Haobo immediately became angry and slapped the table and stood up.
