It's 10:30 p.m.
The coffin shop returned to its deserted state.
And I now have a stack of signed contracts in my hands.
Everything is progressing more smoothly than I expected, but I also know that if it weren't for Yan Shan, there might have been some more twists and turns.
More than 50% of the reason they gave me this month was because of Yan Shan's influence.
But I don't care.
Once this project is launched, there will always be a chance that they will voluntarily extend this month into a year, or even longer. At that point, the initiative will be in my hands.
Thinking of this, I prepared to close the door and rest.
Yan Shan is unlikely to return tonight unless something unexpected happens. Yan Hai's matter is also a big deal for him. As Yan Hai's brother, he naturally wants to be by Yan Hai's side to give him the confidence to persevere.
However, just as I was about to close the door, a hand suddenly appeared.
I was startled, and upon closer inspection, I realized it was Gu Lianyi.
"What brings you here, Boss Gu?"
Gu Lianyi walked into the coffin shop as if no one else was there. Looking at the room full of coffins, she seemed a little nervous, but still found a chair and sat down. "You called out to all the shop owners on the street, but not me. Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
Gu Lianyi looked at me with a half-smile, "Or are you afraid I'll expose you?"
"So you don't dare send me?"
I was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed.
She was absolutely right.
I was indeed afraid of being exposed by her, so I didn't think about inviting her over.
But to my surprise, she still came.
Moreover, judging from what she said, she should have arrived a long time ago, but she just hasn't shown herself yet.
Thinking about this, I smiled.
"That is indeed one reason, but the result is the same, isn't it?"
Gu Lianyi glanced at me in surprise, seemingly not expecting me to admit it so directly. After a while, she laughed and said, "You little brother, you're really interesting."
"He doesn't look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old at all."
“However…” Gu Lianyi propped her head up with one hand, looking at me sideways, “Are you sure you don’t want to give me a reasonable explanation?”
"Deceiving people is not good."
I shook my head and said, "All of this is so that this project can continue."
"As long as the result is good, I don't think it's a problem."
"Mr. Gu surely knows this principle, doesn't he?"
Hearing this, Gu Lianyi laughed in annoyance, "You really have a thick skin."
"But you are right."
"For businessmen, a good result is enough."
"But... you did lie to me after all, you have to give me an explanation or some compensation, right?" Gu Lianyi said, staring straight at me.
For some reason, her gaze gave me the creeps.
I felt like I was being watched by a fox.
right.
It's a fox.
Because Gu Lianyi is a high-value beauty in every aspect, belonging to the same category as Gu Nianci.
I felt very uncomfortable under her gaze, but I also knew that since Gu Lianyi had said that, it meant that she didn't really want to pursue the matter with me, but was just concerned about saving face or other reasons.
Under these circumstances, I definitely have to go down this step.
Otherwise, if she changes her mind, it will be troublesome for me as well.
Thinking of this, I asked, "So, what kind of compensation does Mr. Gu want?"
"Come out for a drink with me." Gu Lianyi seemed to have been waiting for me to say this. Before I could refuse, she added, "Since you're going to do business, you can't be someone who can't even drink, can you?"
"Drinking?" I was a little surprised.
Gu Lianyi looked at me with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."
"Don't tell me you need your parents' permission to go out."
"Yan Shan is not here."
I smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Gu, please stop teasing me."
"I was a little surprised that Boss Gu actually had the mood to invite me for drinks."
