Li Qing instantly felt unsettled.
What the Qi Family was doing was simply inhumane!
"With the Third Middle project in hand, plus the county's new rural project, the profits they'd make from running their own engineering company would roughly be five times more than if they subcontracted to us. The Qi Family must have calculated this quite clearly, or they wouldn't have reneged," Lü Zong said with a heavy voice.
"Lü Zong, is there really no room for negotiation?" Li Qing asked.
"I am in talks with the Qi Family, but the prospects are very slim as it stands," Lü Zong replied after glancing at Li Qing, "I'm telling you all this so you know what to expect. I've heard construction has already started on your side, and if things go as usual, that Secretary Zhou from your town will inevitably be ousted. I think it's better for you to pause and wait to see how things unfold."
Li Qing nodded, extremely reluctant to accept the situation.
