Chapter 20

“Alright, I’ll get in touch with them right away!”

Upon hearing Tang Jianing’s words, Da Hu wasted no time and immediately grabbed his phone to start contacting the people in Mountain City.

“Put up 100,000 as a reward. We can’t let the subordinates work for nothing.”

“Got it!”

Although the shares of the Datang Group were held by Tang Liqian and Tang Jianing, many of the senior members still owned significant shares in some of the subsidiaries.

Especially now, as Datang’s annual net profits were steadily increasing, the dividends alone were enough for most to never run out of money for a lifetime.

For Tang Jianing and Da Hu’s circle, 100,000 was not a big deal, but for the ordinary folks in the underworld, it was a substantial sum.

More importantly, the risk involved in this task was low—it only required finding some clues to earn a hefty sum. Most people wouldn’t refuse such an offer.

After pondering for a moment and finding no suitable leads, Tang Jianing leaned back in her chair and stretched lazily.

“Let’s go back to the villa.”

Neither the lumino reagent nor the funds could be prepared until dawn, and considering the time needed for their people to investigate, Tang Jianing figured she would have some free time over the next day or two.

It was the perfect chance to start planning a large-scale escape room in the warehouse district.

Tang Jianing’s vision for the escape room was no small affair with just a few rooms.

She planned to use the entire warehouse district as a foundation to build a large-scale above-ground entertainment area.

It would include various role-playing shops, restaurants, and entertainment zones—once inside, people could easily spend the whole day enjoying themselves and spending money!

When Tang Jianing returned to the villa, Tang Liqian was seated on the sofa, busy handling company documents.

“You’re back?”

“Mm, haven’t finished work yet?”

“The real estate industry is gradually declining. I plan to sell off the extra plots of land I have. It’s going to be busy for a while.”

Though Datang Real Estate was not the core business of the Datang Group, it was still one of the biggest sources of funding each year.

“Selling it all off at once?”

“What else? Keeping it would just mean losing money!”

Hearing Tang Liqian’s words, Tang Jianing frowned thoughtfully.

“Putting so much land on the market at once will probably cut the price by at least twenty percent.”

Tang Jianing was no business novice—having been nurtured in such an environment since childhood, such matters were easy to grasp with just a little thought.

“It’s not a loss. The land to be dealt with was acquired cheaply; even with a twenty percent loss, there’s still profit to be made.”

Tang Liqian handed a document to Tang Jianing. Though a bit regretful, he didn’t dwell on it.

Unlike most domestic real estate companies that expanded without limits, Datang Real Estate had always focused on developed cities in the north.

Even their expansions were mostly leveraged by modest loans, which Datang’s scale could easily repay.

Otherwise, with the real estate market in recent years, Datang would have been dragged down long ago.

After hearing Tang Liqian’s explanation, Tang Jianing flipped through the document in her hand.

“Keep the Mountain City plots for me. I might still be able to use them in the future.”

“Alright!”

Tang Liqian looked up at Tang Jianing and quickly nodded, settling the matter.

After years of development, the remaining land in Mountain City was not abundant.

Altogether, it was only about seven or eight million. Since Tang Jianing wanted it, she could have it for Wanwan. Even if it meant a loss, it didn’t matter.
