Chapter 414: Forced To Posture Again
“Yes. That place is located in the development zone of the old town. Right now, there are only such commercial buildings such as CBD. We are prepared to build a large integrated catering restaurant.” General Manager Cheng said with full confidence.
“Good idea. It not only provides jobs, but also attracts more people.” Director-general Zhang nodded approvingly.
“Exactly. There’s only a small food street currently, but none of the restaurants can decisively attract more people. If we can get that land, there will be one.” General Manager Cheng pointed at the piece of land where Yuan Zhou’s restaurant lay and said.
“There are only 8 stores in all in that land. It’s still a little small, but likewise not bad.” Director-general Zhang looked at the layout plan of General Manager Cheng carefully.
“Because my company has obtained four stores through purchasing them previously.” General Manager Cheng smiled and pointed at the current position where his restaurant Masterwork Nonsuch lay.
“I see. Then, it’s big enough.” Director-general Zhang nodded his head. The approval seemed to be almost done.
“Yes. So I will have to please bother you to approve my request, Director-general Zhang.” Seeing his purpose about to be realized, General Manager just sat there still and remained calm.
“For me, there’s no problem. But I still have to check if there are any residential buildings there.” Director-general Zhang was fairly serious and careful when it came to work.
“Don’t worry. It’s all commercial land.” With a gleam of certainty to get it in his eyes, General Manager Cheng said peacefully on the surface.
“I know. It’s just that the position of No. 14 of Taoxi Road seems a little familiar.” Director-general Zhang nodded first and the muttered to himself in a low voice.
He found the documents including the 3D map about Taoxi Road on the computer and then started to carefully check the several stores requested by General Manager Cheng.
“There’s surprisingly a closed store. It seems that the place really does not have many visitors.” Director-general Zhang shook his head and said.
“Yes. That’s why we want to build our restaurant there.” General Manager Cheng said confidently.
“Haha. Ok, I see.” Director-general Zhang nodded.
He picked up the fixed phone and started to make a phone call. Naturally, he needed to ask the tax bureau for the detailed information of stores, as they knew about the taxes better than others.
If he approved the request without a thorough investigation now and a problem popped up later, he would be in big trouble.
On the contrary, General Manager Cheng got relieved when he saw Director-general Zhang starting to call somebody.
“It’s finally confirmed.” General Manager Cheng murmured in a low voice.
Although this Director-general Zhang was old-fashioned and inflexible when it came to work and wouldn’t approve his request directly, no one could ever stop Yuan Zhou’s restaurant from vanishing after he investigated clearly.
General Manager Cheng had already investigated Yuan Zhou. He didn’t have a strong background nor did he know anybody who had the capability to affect this matter.
“Division Chief Lin, how are you doing recently?” Once the phone was put through, Director-general Zhang uttered and greeted.
“Hi, Director-general Zhang. Are you calling to ask about information again?” Habitually, Division Chief Lin revealed a genial smile on his face.
“Yeah. How’s the situation concerning the Taoxi Road area?” Director-general Zhang asked frankly.
“You should find an institute like the Americans CIA in your bureau. Then you can get whatever you want to know.” Division Chief Lin joked with him smilingly.
After that, he covered the phone and signaled his assistant to fetch documents about Taoxi Road for him.
“That’s really a good idea. Why don’t you apply for that and see if you can succeed? If you do, I won’t need you to be my spy anymore.” Director-general Zhang also started to joke with him.
“That’s your own business, so it’s better for you to do it yourself.” Division Chief Lin took the phone and continued to joke.
“I don’t have that ability. So you have to continue to be my spy.” Director-general Zhang laughed and said.
“I know, I know. You old fellow always pushing me to work for you.” Division Chief Li said angrily. However, he didn’t slow down his actions and continued to check the records.
Judging from their conversations, one could tell Division Chief Lin and Director-general Zhang were quite acquainted with each other. Actually, they had been classmates in the university, therefore they could joke around like that.
“Tell me something about the places from No. 10 to No. 14 of Taoxi Road.” Director-general Zhang uttered and urged him.
“I’m checking. Wait, which place did you say?” Division Chief Lin was originally searching for the place according to the street number when he heard the familiar place. Then he asked with puzzlement.
“No. 10 to 14 of Taoxi Road.” Without thinking more, Director-general Zhang repeated again.
“No. 14 of Taoxi Road? No, you can’t move that place.” Division Chief Lin instantly became excited.
