Chapter 1263 - Worn-out

”Say that again!”

Shen Jiucheng seemed to have misheard his words, and he found it hard to believe his own ears.

Shen Jiande said, ”Mayor Zhao did not deny it. Patriarch, what's going on? This rumor is very unfavorable for our Shen family. Is someone targeting our Shen family? ”

On the other side, Shen Jiancheng no longer had the mood to listen to what Shen Jiande had to say. All he could think of was what Shen Jiande had said just now, but Mayor Zhao did not deny it!

This … How is that possible?!

It was true that the Shen family and Mayor Zhao did not have much interaction. At the time, Shen Jicheng thought Mayor Zhao was avoiding suspicion and would not get too close to the Shen family, at least on the surface.

Shen Jicheng also believed that since there was a relations.h.i.+p with the Tong Family, and Mayor Zhao was an official in the Tong Family, even if the Shen Family didn't do anything, he would still take care of them.

This was indeed the case.

In the past two years, the reason why the Shen family was able to develop so quickly was because there were very few officials who would look for trouble, and even fewer officials who dared to come to the Shen Corporation to seek benefits was because of Mayor Zhao's secret care.

That was why the Shen family was able to enter the real estate market. For example, this piece of land in the West Bay was the latest goal of the Shen family, and the location and area of the land was very suitable for them. Especially in a second-tier city like Lan Jiang, as long as they built a house, they would not have to worry about selling it.

But what Shen Jicheng never expected was that there were rumors that the Shen family and the Tong family had nothing to do with each other. Furthermore, Mayor Zhao did not deny it!

He didn't deny it. Even if he didn't confirm it himself, it was enough to prove that there were too many problems.

This meant that Mayor Zhao, with his official status, had disguised himself to tell the public that there was no relations.h.i.+p between the Shen and Tong Families. This was too serious, and too deadly!

”This is really …”

Shen Jiusheng was like an ant on a hot pan, his entire being became extremely anxious.

If the rumors spread that the Shen family and the Tong family were not related, then it would be a huge blow to the Shen family.

Shen Jicheng was clearer than anyone else, why did the Shen family dare to enter the real estate market these two years? Real estate was something that could not be played without the support of the authorities. If one entered the real estate market as soon as they thought they had money, there would be people who would teach them how to be a good person!

The reason why the Shen family dared to enter the real estate market was due to their relations.h.i.+p with the Tong family and Mayor Zhao.

But now, this relations.h.i.+p was about to be lost.

Then …

In the past two years, the Shen Group had entered the real estate market. What would happen to the Shen Group if they offended their compet.i.tors, as well as those officials who coveted for the Shen Group?

For no reason at all, the bid was not qualified. There was not even an explanation. This was most likely a sign!

Then, what kind of fate would await the Shen Clan?

Thinking of this, Shen Jiucheng's back was covered in cold sweat.

”No, we can't go on like this. Otherwise, the Shen family will definitely be in big trouble.” Shen Jicheng could no longer sit still. He quickly picked up his phone and was about to leave when he suddenly received a call from his secretary.

”Chairman, we just received another call from the bank. They said that our loan is about to expire soon, so they came to remind us in advance to let us be ready to repay the debt.” the secretary said.

”Which bank?” Shen Jiucheng asked.

”Lan Jiang Development Bank.” the secretary said.

When Shen Jicheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Trouble had arrived.

He realized that his premonition was not wrong. Trouble had really arrived. Moreover, this was only the beginning. Trouble was not only limited to this!

He couldn't wait any longer!

Shen Jicheng muttered to himself, and said in a deep voice, ”If anyone else calls again to demand more money, you can tell them, my Shen Group will definitely return the loan as scheduled!”

The secretary agreed and then asked, ”But Chairman, we still need to bid for the land in the West Bay. If we pay those banks back, we won't be able to bid anymore.”

”I know!”

Shen Jicheng became a little agitated and impatiently said, ”Just do as I say, and do your job well!”

The secretary quickly said, ”Yes, Chairman.”

Shen Jiucheng hung up the phone and walked out hurriedly.

… ….

In the city's main courtyard.
