Chapter 1468 Everyone Heard the Rumor

On Saturday, at 7:30 p.m., Li Ye suddenly received a call from Wu Yan.

Li Ye was a little excited because Wu Yan, a technical guy, would not easily call him, especially at this time.

Generally speaking, this situation is most likely a key breakthrough in the R&D project of a branch factory. Wu Yan urged Li Ye to prepare rewards for his technical men.

Moreover, as the first branch factory continued to break through technical difficulties, Wu Yan's awareness became higher and higher. As long as the technical breakthrough was not worthy of praise, he would not say a word to Li Ye.

Of course, calling at this time is a great thing!

But after Wu Yan opened his mouth, he brought up something unexpected with Li Ye: "Li Ye, is the Fenghua Plaza mentioned in the newspaper a commercial department store like the Xiushui Market?"

Li Ye said in a somewhat surprised tone, "Almost the same! But the scale should be bigger, and there will be more categories. Why are you asking this?"

Wu Yan was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "I want to rent a stall, like the ones in Xiushui Market. If the price is right, I can buy it directly."

Xiushui Commercial Street is a commercial project developed by my eldest brother-in-law Wen Guohua seven or eight years ago. It has now become a famous "treasure pot". If you have a stall there, you can make more money selling tea eggs than making rockets.

So now that Fenghua Garments is planning to develop Fenghua Plaza, people with ulterior motives have naturally taken notice. Every branch factory knows that Li Ye is related to Fenghua Garments, so Wu Yan has certainly found the right person by looking for Li Ye.

Li Ye was surprised and said, "Old Wu, you've finally figured it out. Although Fenghua Plaza hasn't been built yet, as far as I know, it should be full of storefronts, and the rental ratio is not high.

Even if you sell part of it, I can help you find a connection to get a discount, but the price won't be low. How much money do you have now?"

Wu Yan on the other end of the phone said arrogantly: "I have tens of thousands, and it's not long before I reach 100,000. Isn't Fenghua Plaza built yet? Please save a good spot for me."

Li Ye said with a smile, "Old Wu, are you still setting an ambush for me? Don't I know you? You don't visit prostitutes, gamble, or smoke, and you save all your salary and bonuses. Your family savings have long exceeded 100,000."

Wu Yan said shyly, "No, I really don't have a hundred thousand. So, how about this? Buy me a storefront for forty or fifty thousand!"

Li Ye said directly: "You probably can't buy it for 40,000 or 50,000, but if you tell me why you don't have 100,000 saved, I can help you find it, and it's the best location."

Wu Yan asked in surprise: "You help me solve it? How do you solve it?"

Li Ye said: "First tell me why you didn't save any money."

"You speak first"

"You speak first"

“.”

Li Ye and Wu Yan were like kindergarten kids, arguing back and forth for a long time but unable to come to a conclusion.

There is no way. Wu Yan is a stubborn guy and he sticks to his own opinions.

Finally, Li Ye asked calmly, "Old Wu, did you lend your salary and bonus to your relatives?"

“.”

"Um."

Wu Yan was stunned for a long time before he replied with a nasal tone in the affirmative.

Li Ye added, "Then this time you bought the storefront, you bought it for your relative, right?"

“.”

"Um."

Wu Yan is a real man and he didn't lie.

Li Ye continued, "Did they pay back the money they borrowed from you before? Even if it wasn't all paid back, how much did they pay back?"

Wu Yan didn't answer this time and remained completely silent.

However, Li Ye's extraordinary hearing allowed him to hear someone whispering on the other end of the phone. It was obvious that Wu Yan was making a call in front of others. Perhaps it was the relative who wanted to gain respect.

In his previous life, Li Ye had encountered such a relative. He came to his house with two boxes of gifts and asked for help with a task with a difficulty of 9.9. You told him that "it's difficult and you are not familiar with him", but he forced you to call your "connection" on the spot.

If you don't fight, then you are not a relative, you are hypocritical, and you are not righteous.

Why did Li Ye guess that Wu Yan was doing things for his relatives?

Because the Xiali car that Wu Yan was allocated as the first prize at the end of the year is now driven by his brother-in-law. That guy is an unemployed vagrant and drives his car around all day long. He lives a much more comfortable life than the science and engineering man Wu Yan.

Li Ye sighed and asked again: "Is this relative your family's relative or your wife's relative?"

Wu Yan sighed faintly and said, "You know we don't have many relatives."

Li Ye understood in his heart and was basically certain that he was Wu Yan's brother-in-law.

But it is really hard for Li Ye to persuade Wu Yan about this matter, because Wu Yan’s wife is really nice!

Why are those "brother-supporting demons" hated decades later? It's not just because they "support their brothers", but more importantly because of the magic.

You are obviously the pillar of the family, but you turn out to be the most useless one among everyone. You are not humorous enough compared to Zhang San, not strong enough compared to Li Si, and not wealthy enough compared to Wang Wu. If I don't want you, you will never find a wife in your life.

But Wu Yan's wife is not like that. She is very pretty, has a good job, and is gentle. She is good at everything, such as washing clothes, cooking, and taking care of children.

Wu Yan came home late at night after working overtime, and was given a hot meal and a shoulder massage. Wu Yan's parents came from their hometown, and as their daughter-in-law, she took the elderly to travel all over the capital, and no one could find fault with her.

So Wu Yan doted on his brother-in-law on his own initiative, and outsiders had no say in it.

However, Li Ye had seen many bad things, so this time he said: "I can help you buy the stall, but you need a loan.

After buying it and it is in your name, you can rent it to relatives. The plaza will have suggested rental standards, and you can give them a discount.

If he's grateful, then you'll have a good relationship. If he's ungrateful, then the stall is still yours and no one can take it away from you. What do you think?"

Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "Do you still need a loan?"

Ordinary people these days don’t believe in the saying “the one who owes money is the boss”. If they owe someone a debt, they worry all day long about when they can pay it back. Hearing the word “loan” makes them as scared as seeing a tiger.

Li Ye said angrily: "Nonsense, do you think Fenghua Plaza is a small commercial street? Those are all big stores. Can you afford them with your money?

Besides, don't your relatives pay you rent? The rent can cover most of the loan. And I can tell you clearly that the storefront's value will appreciate much faster than your loan interest. If you build it well, it will support three generations. Your sons and grandsons will all benefit from it."

After hearing what Li Ye said, Wu Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Li Ye hung up the phone, and Wen Leyu beside him asked casually, "Is your colleague buying a shop for his relative?"

Li Ye said, "It should be his brother-in-law. He's grown up but doesn't have a formal job. The couple probably wanted to buy a stall to tie him down and stop him from wandering around the streets."

Wen Leyu nodded and said, "Then tell Big Sister in advance. Your colleagues will hear about it, and those smart people will definitely come over to get a piece of the pie, so that they don't end up with no good position by then."

According to the current housing prices in Beijing, it is definitely not cost-effective to sell the commercial part of Fenghua Plaza. However, the flower-growing family is a society based on personal relationships, with too many personal connections to maintain. A small portion must be set aside to maintain the relationships, so it is not very well-off.

So Li Ye called his elder sister Li Yue and explained Wu Yan's situation.

After hearing what Li Ye said, Li Yue said in a deep voice, "Even your colleagues know about Fenghua Plaza. So why hasn't Liang Xiaomin come to us and kowtow to us? Does she have other support?"

Li Ye was silent for a few seconds, then said, "She definitely feels like she has something to rely on, but that thing she relies on may no longer be hers."

Women are more emotional, and sometimes they are so emotional that they are unreasonable.

For example, Liang Xiaomin gave birth to a son for Guo Donglun, and she thought she could "use her son to control her husband", but she didn't know that Guo Donglun just couldn't do it.
