Qiao Lian was surprised to hear this.
After she got in the car, she looked at Shen Liangchuan and asked, “So you sent Song Cheng over here much earlier?”
Shen Liangchuan nodded and replied, “Yes, this is the investment project that kept me busy lately.”
Property management was not a simple business. In fact, it was a complicated industry.
Buying land from the authorities, construction and all the sorts of liaison needed—there was a lot of work involved.
Hence, this was not work that could have been done in a few days.
Qiao Lian widened her eyes in disbelief.
While Shen Liangchuan, staring straight ahead now, looked as though this was a matter of course.
Back then, when she had mentioned her parents’ death and the defective and problematic project, he had understood immediately.
The reason why Qiao Lian was so bent on becoming a reporter was so that she could clear her parents’ names.
Hence sooner or later, she would return to Suzhou.
He took it upon himself to move a few steps ahead and prepared for that time.
He would have told Qiao Lian these things at some point, but he hadn’t expected that Lu Nanze would stir trouble of this nature. Thus, Quan Lian had to find out earlier than intended.
He cast his gaze down as these thoughts came to him.
Whatever Xiao Qiao needed, he would do for her.
Because his Xiao Qiao had suffered too much in those eight years.

Once they arrived at their hotel, Shen Liangchuan hit the ground running.
Together with Song Cheng, they did the required qualification checks.
After a week or so of continuous work, they covered most of what needed to be done.
However, things went suspiciously smoothly.
Qiao Lian felt that this wasn’t like Lu Nanze’s style at all.
Even though the building project that Shen Liangchuan had taken over would certainly be a loss, knowing the sort of person Lu Nanze was, he still wouldn’t make it easy for them. She was therefore surprised that he had not thrown a spanner in the works so far.
She even expressed her concern to Shen Liangchuan, “I just feel that something’s not quite right. Unless that guy has turned over a new leaf?”
At that moment, there was a knocking on the door. It was Song Cheng.
The door swung open and Song Cheng walked in. He frowned at once when he saw the both of them. “Brother Shen, I’m not sure what happened, but our paperwork is stuck at the administration bureau. Someone’s holding it up. They say that our qualification checks cannot be cleared!”
He frowned and continued, “We’ve completed the rest of the paperwork, this is the only one with problems. Besides, we were already prepared and there are definitely no issues! I asked them to clarify which audit we did wrong, but they’re evasive and haven’t given an explanation. Even when I said I wanted to see their leader, they rejected it saying that he’s not in his office. I think it’s not that simple. I’m sure someone’s behind this!”
When Qiao Lian heard this, she couldn’t help but look at Shen Liangchuan and say, “Here it comes!”
Her fear was confirmed, the suspension was finally over.
Lu Nanze had indeed been waiting around the corner.
But the company’s qualification checks?
What were they going to do about it?
At this point, Shen Liangchuan said calmly, “I understand.”
With an air of expectation, he stood up and said, “I’ll come with you.”
He looked as though he knew this was going to happen and had long been prepared for it.
–
Shen Liangchuan and Song Cheng arrived at their destination very shortly.
Song Cheng repeated his request to the company worker, “I’d like to see your boss.”
The person glanced at Song Cheng and s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Shen Liangchuan. Then she was stunned into a stupor. But when she remembered his boss’ instructions, she said immediately with a smile, “That… erm… our section manager has gone on a business trip, I’m so sorry, Best Actor Shen.
Shen Liangchuan nodded when he heard the reply and continued, “Since I can’t get him to come out, then I can only ask someone else’s help to get him to see us.”
