Chapter 167 Corporate City!
"A Killing Order?" Qin Jiang scoffed. It seemed like Chu Tianjiao was at his wit's end. It wouldn't be long before Chu Tianjiao would definitely make a personal appearance!
Zhang Haosheng continued, "There's also the matter of the drug. Although Chu Tianjiao didn't approach me directly, he asked higher-ups to order me to conduct a thorough investigation. I've temporarily held it off for you."
"Thank you, Mayor Zhang. I owe you one," Qin Jiang expressed his gratitude. Even though he was not afraid himself, attracting the attention of higher levels was not good news.
Just as Ye Longchen had said, the more secretive the matter of the drug, the better!
"Actually, Mr. Qin, there's something I've been wanting to discuss with you..." Zhang Haosheng hesitated.
Even though Qin Jiang said he owed him a favor, Zhang Haosheng couldn't just ask straightforwardly.
"Feel free to speak your mind, Mayor Zhang. I'll definitely help if I can," Qin Jiang smiled.
Zhang Haosheng was pleased, "There's been something that's been troubling me for many years. I've always planned to establish an entrepreneurial city here in Jiangcheng. Companies that join the entrepreneurial city would receive considerable official support and assistance."
"Entrepreneurial cities have already been established in smaller towns in Jiangnan and Suhang provinces, and their futures are looking bright. The results are excellent. Not to mention the strong support from the Capital City, these projects have advanced the careers of those two colleagues of mine significantly."
"Of course, the most important thing is that the businesses that join the entrepreneurial city receive various forms of official support, allowing rapid development. It can be said to propel the local economy..."
Zhang Haosheng went on and on.
From his words and tone, it wasn't hard to hear that he was envious and full of anticipation!
"Mayor Zhang, you mentioned you need my help with something?" Qin Jiang smiled.
Zhang Haosheng continued, "Mr. Qin is the actual controller of Longting Group and has close ties with Zhao Corporation. I've heard that Mr. Qin's fiancée, Miss Xu, also plans to start a company."
"With official support, I assure you, Miss Xu's company will have an easy path forward and will prosper. If there's any issue, I'll do my utmost to help!"
"Oh, and Mr. Qin, you have a close relationship with Elder Mr. Shen. If you could get him involved, having him give his blessing to develop his hometown, then our entrepreneurial city in Jiangcheng would be a done deal!"
Qin Jiang now understood. Zhang Haosheng wanted to give him and Xu Muge's company an advantage, but his ultimate goal was Elder Mr. Shen—Shen Tianrong!
Although Shen Tianrong had stepped down, his network and status were still formidable!
Just as Zhang Haosheng said, once Elder Mr. Shen spoke out, over half of Jiangcheng's companies would join the entrepreneurial city, and the project would indeed be a sure thing.
However, Qin Jiang did not want to ask Shen Tianrong for help!
He was reluctant to ask others for favors.

But Zhang Haosheng had withstood pressure from his superiors, which could not be ignored. Qin Jiang owed him one.
Left with no choice, Qin Jiang rested the phone on the table, "As it happens, Elder Mr. Shen is also here. He heard everything you just said. Why not ask for Elder Shen's opinion?"
"Ah! Really? Hello, Elder Shen." Zhang Haosheng hurriedly greeted.
His brother, Zhang Haoyuan, could exchange a few words with Shen Tianrong.
He was slightly less influential.
Shen Tianrong laughed, "As long as Qin Jiang is willing to lead the entrepreneurial city, this old man is also willing to join in the fun with him!"
Qin Jiang, leading the entrepreneurial city!
The implication of Shen Tianrong's words was clear: if Qin Jiang took charge, he would lend his support and join as well.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Haosheng responded, "Great! I had already intended for Mr. Qin to be the leading figure of the entrepreneurial city. Now that Elder Mr. Shen has spoken, I'm even more convinced that Mr. Qin is the perfect choice!"
"Mr. Qin is young yet capable and has even saved my life. Of course, the reason I'm willing to let him lead is due to his abilities. He's worth it!"
Qin Jiang silently sighed. He owed a favor now.
But by doing so, he had also repaid Zhang Haosheng's favor.
"With such an excellent opportunity, I'd like to get involved too," Ye Longchen suddenly spoke up.
Zhang Haosheng was startled, "May I know who you are, sir?"
"Ye Longchen."
Zhang Haosheng caught his breath, it was the current Iron Blood Deputy of Jinling's Martial Arts Bureau!
This was a formidable man.
Qin Jiang, had he really managed to draw such a powerful figure into his camp?
If someone like Ye Longchen, the Deputy Leader, were to join as well, then Zhang Haosheng's advantage would be even greater, making it hard for even the Capital City to compete with him for this major project.
