Chapter 168: Newly Opened Housing Project
The match at Kyoto University is still ongoing.
The remaining three groups proceeded much faster.
Xu Yihuan and her classmates waited outside for their scores. They thought they were a shoo-in for first place, but the last group of students came from behind and won first place.
In the end, Xu Yihuan's group missed first place by a margin of 0.2 points.
After seeing the scores, everyone felt no regrets and left one after another.
The stadium was empty after the match ended, and Pei Yuli absentmindedly packed his things.
Just as he was about to leave the arena, the tall, black figure that had appeared earlier reappeared in front of him, firmly blocking his path.
Jiang Tingbai was wearing a black windbreaker, the zipper not fully zipped up, but the hood was pulled up over his head. Lights shone down from above, making his sculpted features flicker in and out of focus.
They don't seem to be innocent.
"Why are you still here?" Pei Yuli asked.
Jiang Tingbai gave a half-smile: "Have you forgotten what we agreed on?"
Pei Yuli frowned, somewhat annoyed: "I haven't forgotten, what's wrong?"
"It's good that you haven't forgotten. Let me remind you, a lot of time has passed, but you still haven't made any progress. Young Master Pei, if this continues, I really have to doubt your ability to handle things."
Pei Yuli tightened his grip on his hands at his sides.
“I know, but things should always proceed step by step, shouldn’t they?” Pei Yuli’s voice was very low.
Jiang Tingbai chuckled, his lazy eyes full of mockery and disdain.
"It's not that I can't live without you, it's just that you've lived with Xu Yihuan for more than ten years, and you're at least her brother, so I thought things would be faster. I didn't expect you to make no progress at all."
"If I hadn't come today, were you still planning to make Xu Yihuan suffer?"
Pei Yuli blushed with embarrassment: "No...no."
Jiang Tingbai rolled her eyes, clearly not believing it.
"Is it really that hard to get close to Xu Yihuan and make her treat you kindly? You don't actually have to make up. Can't you just act?"
"If Pei Yanzhi can get along well with her, why can't you?"
Jiang Tingbai was good at making sarcastic remarks, "But I really didn't expect that Old Tan would like Xu Yihuan."
He never expected Xu Yihuan to be such a treasure. If she weren't with that madman Jiang Jinnan, he would have really wanted to kidnap her.
Jiang Tingbai spoke slowly and deliberately, but every word he uttered felt like a stone being thrown into someone's heart.
It's making it increasingly difficult for others to breathe.
Pei Yuli's expression grew increasingly grim: "Fine, I understand."
He had a hundred ways to get close to Xu Yihuan, but he just didn't want to use them.
Xu Yihuan is easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force, and is very soft-hearted.
I remember when she was in elementary school, she was hospitalized for a while, and her deskmate tutored her. She talked about how kind he was to her for a whole week.
Later, her classmate's family had a misfortune, leaving her all alone. Xu Yihuan took her to live at her home and threw tantrums every day, trying to get her parents to help her.
But that matter was related to the government and couldn't be resolved by spending money. At that time, Xu Yihuan was young and didn't understand anything, so she made a fuss.
She kept making a fuss for three days before her parents finally gave in.
It took countless efforts and favors to finally get him out.
At that time, he didn't have any particular thoughts. He just thought Xu Yihuan was kind and innocent. Now that he thinks about it, Xu Yihuan was simply easy to deceive.
Pei Yuli's thinking was very simple, but he forgot that even if Xu Yihuan was naive, did her parents not have brains?
Actually, it wasn't because of Xu Yihuan that her parents helped that child back then.
After Pei Yi'an returned to Yuncheng, she quit her job in the capital and took a gap year. Finding a job again was no easy task.
In the end, it was that classmate's mother who introduced her to Yuncheng City. Although it is called a city, Yuncheng is a municipality directly under the central government.
Because of this incident, their family has always owed that person a favor.
Pei Yuli pursed his lips, already having an idea in mind.
"Okay, I understand. I'll do it as soon as possible."
Jiang Tingbai glanced at Pei Yuli, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
...
Tan Zhixu returned to school the day after the competition ended.
After rushing back, covered in dust, the first thing he did was go to find Xu Yihuan.
Meanwhile, Xu Yihuan was sitting in a coffee shop, looking at the latest proposal with Jiang Jinnan.
The agreement was to set up a guesthouse halfway up the mountain, and Jiangjin South acted quickly, already starting to look for people to build it.
Since Jiang Huaiyuan had already taken care of the land for him, Jiang Jinnan didn't need to do any favors. In fact, the profits would be split between the two of them.
As for the price Jiang Huaiyuan paid to acquire this land, that was not within his consideration.
Jiang Jinnan held the tablet, his eyes filled with burning ambition.
“Huanhuan, look, this piece of land is right next to the guesthouse. What do you think would be a good idea if we bought it and developed it into a real estate project?”
"Then we set the price, and followed the direction of high-end leisure."
Jiang Jinnan attempted to persuade Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan looked at the planning map that Jiang Jinnan had completed without saying a word.
The risk would be quite high if that location were to be developed again.
Because the initial investment costs are too high, if the funds are not recovered in time, the funds will not be able to circulate, which may lead to the closure of other projects as well.
Although if you actually do it, the amount of money you can recoup is hundreds or thousands of times that of a homestay.
However, land is not so easy to acquire, and one may not even be able to outbid competitors.
They could only use the back door.
We need to find out which government department is in charge of this land, and then get through the channels at each level to ensure that it ends up in their hands.
But none of those old fogies are easy to fool. In the end, they might develop a total of ten housing units, and in the end, they might have to give away the last five.
Xu Yihuan's expression was somewhat serious, and she remained silent.
Jiang Jinnan pursed his lips; there was actually another reason he hadn't mentioned.
That means he had already found out that Jiang Tingbai wanted that piece of land, so how could he let him succeed?
Jiang Jinnan's eyes flickered, and he changed the subject: "By the way, are you free now? The guesthouse over there has started construction, we can go and take a look."
Xu Yihuan turned her gaze away from the courseware.
"Okay, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jinnan's face lit up with joy, and dimples appeared on his face.
I put away my computer and prepared to stand up.
Just then, Xu Yihuan's phone rang.
Almost immediately after seeing the caller ID, Xu Yihuan rejected Jiang Jinnan without hesitation.
He stared intently at his phone screen, completely oblivious to Jiang Jinnan's expression.
"Okay."
