Chapter 182 Can't Get Through
"Hit me then, hit me!"
"I don't believe for a second that Qin Jiang you can actually reach Mayor Zhang!"
The crowd sneered.
"If he was qualified to talk to Mayor Zhang, then wouldn't I be the richest man?"
Whether it was the Xu Family or Du Hao, their faces were full of mockery.
Qin Jiang said indifferently, "Well, you better watch closely then!"
With that, he dialed the number directly.
"He's really putting on a show, what a joke, I want to see what he's going to pretend next!" Everybody looked on, eager for the drama to unfold.
"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed..."
Qin Jiang frowned slightly, knowing full well that Zhang Haosheng wouldn't intentionally ignore his calls, especially since the business city he wanted to establish needed the involvement of Patriarch Shen Tianrong and Ye Longchen.
As the middleman and a key figure in the business city project, Zhang Haosheng would never overlook him!
He must be busy right now.
Xu Muge asserted, "Qin Jiang, try calling him again!"
She didn't want Qin Jiang to be embarrassed in public, nor did she want to believe that it was all fake!
Qin Jiang made another call.
Still, no connection.
Qin Jiang shook his head helplessly, "Mayor Zhang must be temporarily occupied and might not have seen my call, otherwise he would definitely answer. Let's just wait for him to call me back, it's not polite to call too many times."
At these words, Xu Muge's heart sank!
"Maybe... try one more time?" Xu Muge said, unwilling to see Qin Jiang ridiculed.
"Haha, listen to this! Just listen!"
Pointing at Qin Jiang with utter contempt, Du Hao said to Xu Muge, "Xu, did you hear that? He clearly can't get through to Mayor Zhang, yet he insists on being stubborn as a mule!"
"He even says that if Mayor Zhang sees his call, he would certainly answer, as if he has some great influence over there, like he's such an important person!"
"I've seen so many losers like him who have no capability but still try to show off!"
By the end, Du Hao looked at Xu Muge with utmost sincerity, "Xu, the person you should trust is me! I have already proven everything!"
"After all, Vice Mayor Zhang from Jinling is Mayor Zhang Haosheng of Jiangcheng City's own brother. A lot of people know this; how hard could it be for them to arrange a spot for each other?"
"Xu, do you have any idea how hard I've worked to get that spot for you? I was ready to throw away my pride, to the point of almost kneeling! Even my godfather had to beg, we're talking about two spots in total when you count the one for myself!"
"Not everyone can pull this off!"
"Xu, I can help you unconditionally, but I can't stand by and watch my hard work be snatched away right before my eyes! I won't accept it!"
For a moment, Xu Muge bit her lip and silently stared at Qin Jiang. Could he really just be stubborn, after all, he couldn't get through, and he didn't want to make the third call.
Feeling guilty?
If he truly could secure the spot for the business city, he shouldn't be ignored by Mayor Zhang. He should be able to connect with the mayor just like Du Hao!
"Qin Jiang, if you're willing to tell the truth, even if everything is a lie, I still love you. I just want you to reciprocate my sincerity!"
Xu Muge looked intently at Qin Jiang, "I hope my man is upright and honest. He may not be very successful, but he must never lie to me! Nor can he boast, taking credit for others' actions!"
"Muge, I really didn't lie to you!"
Qin Jiang took a deep breath and earnestly said, "I did secure the spot for you from Zhang Haosheng; this invitation that was just delivered was personally obtained by me."
"He must be dealing with something right now and didn't see my call, otherwise he would definitely pick up!"
Xu Huanhuan laughed so hard that her body trembled, "He's still putting on airs! I'm dying of laughter!"
"I have been humiliated by a worthless wretch like you before; it's utterly shameful! From now on, I'll make sure you pay back for it," Wei Zijing scoffed.
Xu Zilong looked at Qin Jiang with disdain, "Qin Jiang, you keep saying how despicable we are, but you're even worse than anyone! When it comes to being shameless, we're no match for you!" Your next read is at empire
"Muge, are you still not awake to reality? Du is helping you so much, yet you're still thinking of trusting Qin Jiang? Don't let all of Du's efforts be in vain," Liu Ya said.
Xu Muge looked at Qin Jiang with disappointment. She had given Qin Jiang a chance to come clean, but he had not cherished it and remained stubborn.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Moreover, even if he was upset with Du Hao out of jealousy, he shouldn't have tried to outdo him by falsely claiming Du Hao's achievements. That was going too far.
"Qin Jiang, I've said it before, I can accept your powerlessness, but I can't accept you deceiving me like this." She shook her head and turned her face away.
"I..." Seeing the look of disappointment in Xu Muge's eyes, Qin Jiang felt a stab of pain in his heart and clenched his teeth, "You actually believe him over me?"
"I don't care what others think of me, I don't even bother explaining, as long as you trust me, that's enough for me. What can not getting through on the phone prove?"
