058: Brother, you may have been cheated!
Jiang Zhiyan went to see the land recommended by Shen Zhongjun in the afternoon.
Upon arriving at the site, Jiang Zhiyan saw that the land was indeed suitable for the Huahu Building. Even though he knew Shen Zhongjun might have ill intentions, he was still somewhat tempted. He then sent someone to check whether the land was as Shen Zhongjun had described. That evening, Jiang Zhiyan's assistant brought him detailed information about the land. Jiang Zhiyan was stunned to see the previous owner.
Xu Qinghua?
Isn’t this Gu Jun’s deceased father-in-law?
It turns out that what Shen Zhongjun recommended was the land that used to belong to Xu Yao’s family!
Jiang Zhiyan didn't dare to make the decision for Gu Jun this time. When he learned that Gu Jun was in the company, Jiang Zhiyan rushed over immediately.
"You're not at home with your wife today?"
Jiang Zhiyan muttered as he handed the information to Gu Jun, who was reading it carefully. Jiang Zhiyan sat on the sofa and browsed his phone. There was Tangtang's latest update on his Moments. Jiang Zhiyan glanced at it casually, but when he saw that the person in the photo was Xu Yao, his eyes widened.
Xu Yao looked different from usual.
Xu Yao is usually slim and pretty, which makes people want to protect her.
Xu Yao in the photo is still as beautiful as ever, but both her makeup and expression have become very... seductive.
Anyway, if Jiang Zhiyan had a wife like this, he would never feel comfortable letting her go to a nightclub alone.
——Gu Jun has such a big heart!
"What are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"
Jiang Zhiyan's gaze was too obvious, and Gu Jun felt that he was too impatient.
The land was indeed under Xu Qinghua's name before, but the land was not sealed by the court after Xu Qinghua went bankrupt, but before Xu Qinghua went bankrupt because Xu Qinghua could not repay the bank loan... Now it is being auctioned again to repay the bank loan. Whether it can be sold or how much it can be sold for has little to do with Xu Yao. Gu Jun will not be so impulsive as to buy it regardless of the consequences just because the land used to belong to Xu Qinghua.
Jiang Zhiyan originally wanted to mention what happened to Xu Yao in the nightclub, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say it.
Jiang Zhiyan had already noticed something was wrong.
Just returned to Nancheng from the hot spring hotel, the couple didn't actually stay at home to spend time together. Gu Jun was working overtime at the company late at night, while Xu Yao was having fun in a nightclub... Ahem, he'd better not express his opinion. No matter what he said, it would seem like he was deliberately adding fuel to the fire!
"There aren't many words in the document. I'm asking when you plan to finish reading it. What do you think? Should we bid on this piece of land? I've asked someone, and this piece of land was originally mortgaged to the bank by Xu Qinghua. After the auction, the court will first allow the bank to recover the money lent to Xu Qinghua, and the rest -"
"The rest won't reach Xu Yao's hands. The Xu family still has many creditors."
Gu Jun frowned, "There's something wrong with this piece of land."
Jiang Zhiyan was full of energy, "I knew that old fox Shen Zhongjun had bad intentions!"
Gu Jun shook his head. "Shen Zhongjun has his own problems, and this piece of land is another matter."
Putting aside the question of why the land had been held for three years before being auctioned, Gu Jun simply assumed the situation was complicated. He felt something was amiss because he knew Xu Yao had signed new IOUs with the Xu family's creditors, taking on all the Xu family's debts.
If the creditors knew that this piece of land still existed, why would they agree to sign a new IOU with Xu Yao?
When Xu Qinghua borrowed money from the bank using the land as collateral, the bank would have assessed the land's value, and the money Xu Qinghua borrowed from the bank couldn't have been worth more than the land itself. Three years later, the land's value had risen, and even if it were auctioned below market value, it would have been more than enough to repay the bank loan, with some remaining. So wouldn't it be easier for the creditors to get the money from the court than from Xu Yao?
If Gu Jun was a creditor of the Xu family, and if he knew that the court still held a piece of land that Xu Qinghua had bought that year, he would definitely not sign any new IOU with Xu Yao.
At the very least, wait until this piece of land is auctioned and see how much debt can be paid off before considering signing a new IOU with Xu Yao. This is in line with the logic of a businessman!
"...Unless someone deliberately hid this piece of land so that Xu Qinghua's creditors would ignore it."
Gu Jun guessed so.
Jiang Zhiyan was confused by what he heard, and his focus wasn't on the land: "Wait, why is there a new IOU involved?"
oh.
Gu Jun remembered that he had only talked about the relationship between Xu Yao and the Shen family at the hot spring hotel that morning, but had not mentioned that Xu Yao was still in debt.
When talking about the land left by Xu Qinghua, Gu Jun finally told Jiang Zhiyan about the debt. Jiang Zhiyan looked Gu Jun over from head to toe. "When you're generous, you're really generous. When you set the salary standards for your employees, even I thought it was a bit too high. We didn't make much money at the time, and you set such high salaries, which was very expensive for human resources. When you're stingy, you can really make people angry. Apart from spending money on your grandfather, no one else can take money out of your pocket for non-business reasons... You dared to marry Xu Yao even though you knew she owed so much money. You really are a hidden lover!"
Jiang Zhiyan felt that he had wronged the Chen Yan family.
Assets and cash flow are two different things. With the Chen Yan family's limited assets, they would have to grit their teeth several times to help Xu Yao pay back the debt!
Jiang Zhiyan put himself in Chen Yan's position. If Jiang Zhiyan had not invested in Gu Jun, he would have been an ordinary rich second-generation who relied on his family for food. The Jiang family would probably not agree to marry a wife who owed so much money.
Of course, with Gu Jun's current wealth, helping Xu Yao pay off her debts is not stressful at all, and he doesn't have to grit his teeth like Chen Yan does to make a decision.
However, Xu Yao is not the only unmarried woman in the world. Why does Gu Jun have to marry Xu Yao who is in debt?
Jiang Zhiyan's mind was full of thoughts. He thought about Gu Jun hiding his identity in front of Xu Yao and began to worry that Gu Jun, who was not interested in women, had actually met a high-end player: "Is it possible that Xu Yao actually knew that you were the boss of Huahu, and she married you with other motives——"
"No way."
Gu Jun interrupted Jiang Zhiyan coldly, "I knew you would have wild thoughts, so I didn't mention Xu Yao's debt this morning. I'm sure Xu Yao doesn't know that I'm the boss of Huahu, and she didn't marry me just to get my help to pay off her debts. Before we got the marriage certificate, she took the initiative to ask for a prenuptial agreement. Her pre-marital debts have nothing to do with me, and we won't share any property after marriage."
Well.
Jiang Zhiyan heard Gu Jun's defense of Xu Yao.
Most friends would have stopped trying to persuade him at this point. Regardless of the couple's reasons for getting married, it was a matter of willingness. Gu Jun's willingness to be taken advantage of was none of anyone else's business. Jiang Zhiyan and Gu Jun had a different relationship. They'd started a business together and had been through so much together. How could he just stand by and watch Gu Jun get cheated?
"What's the point of signing a prenuptial agreement? If all the creditors come to force Xu Yao to pay back the money, will you just watch her get harassed and do nothing? A prenuptial agreement is a legal constraint. Your feelings can't be bound by any agreement. You'll be soft-hearted!"
