076: Lost the land, and argued with each other!
"Hua Hu, how could it be Hua Hu that won the bid for that piece of land? Didn't we already make sufficient preparations? Don't ask me what went wrong. I want to ask you, isn't Jiang Zhiyan, the young boss of Hua Hu, very familiar with your second brother Shen Zhongjun?!"
Wen Zhicheng was shocked and felt that he had been cheated by his future in-laws!
They are all members of the Shen family. Who knows if Shen Yan's father, Shen Shuping, is playing a double act with Shen Zhongjun?
Wen Zhicheng also knew that Shen Shuping and the Shen family mansion were not on good terms.
Now that this has happened, Wen Zhicheng is not sure what the relationship between Shen Shuping and Shen Zhongjun is like.
To put it bluntly, Shen Zhongjun had attended Shen Yan's engagement party before; to put it bluntly, why did Shen Zhongjun tell Jiang Zhiyan that Xu Qinghua's land had been seized for more than three years?
Shen Shuping also had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express.
This piece of land was almost certain to be acquired, but it was lost at the last moment. Wen Zhicheng couldn't figure it out, and neither could Shen Shuping!
Is Shen Zhongjun behind this?
Shen Zhongjun certainly knew about the existence of this piece of land. Before Xu Qinghua's accident, he was desperate and had considered mortgaging the land to Shen Zhongjun to get some cash flow, but Shen Zhongjun disagreed. Why did Shen Zhongjun confiscate the land without telling Shen Shuping? Shen Boxiong, the eldest brother of the Shen family, and Shen Zhongjun, the second brother, did not like Shen Shuping. After the old man of the Shen family passed away, they only gave Shen Shuping a small amount of money and sent him out of the Shen family.
If Shen Shuping hadn't had some skills and started a business with the money he got when he left the Shen family mansion, there would definitely be no place for Shen Shuping to stand in Nancheng now!
If Shen Shuping were to follow his heart, he would not want to have any further dealings with the Shen family mansion.
However, Shen Shuping's foundation is still too shallow. Without the name of the Nancheng Shen family, some projects will not be taken over by Shen Shuping.
Anyway, outsiders didn't know the details, and for the sake of the Shen family's reputation, Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun couldn't talk about the conflict with Shen Shuping every time they met someone. As a result, Shen Shuping really took advantage of a lot of resources.
Family members know their own business. Shen Zhongjun has been given a lot of resources by Shen Shuping over the years. Maybe he really let Hua Hu bid for the land just to disgust Shen Shuping.
No no no, impossible!
Shen Zhongjun suffered a great loss at Huahu three years ago. With Shen Zhongjun's petty character, he would never let Huahu take away such good land!
Wen Zhicheng suspected Shen Shuping, and Shen Shuping was also worried about Wen Zhicheng: "Hua Hu's sudden intervention may not be due to my second brother. Did you accidentally reveal something in front of Lin Meixian? I remember that Lin Meixian's son-in-law works at Hua Hu——"
What is the name of Lin Meixian's son-in-law?
Shen Shuping tried hard to recall.
His name seems to be Gu Jun.
He is a man with good looks but a poor family background.
I heard that he is a technical programmer and can buy a house in South City, so he should be highly valued in the company.
Originally, Shen Shuping didn't care where Gu Jun worked as a programmer. Or Guo Xianzhen had a good memory. When Jiang Zhiyan asked someone to delete the explosive post that Wen Yiyi had the internet trolls post, everyone thought that Jiang Zhiyan was doing it to protect Tangtang, the female companion he brought to the engagement party. But Guo Xianzhen suddenly remembered that she had seen Gu Jun at the cocktail party at the Shen family mansion - Gu Jun was with Jiang Zhiyan at the time, and he was so outstanding in appearance, Guo Xianzhen would never make a mistake!
Guo Xianzhen was even muttering at the time, could it be that Xu Yao's husband, Gu Jun, had ordered the videos to be deleted? So, Gu Jun was quite respected in Huahu, right?
Shen Shuping didn't care about such things. He didn't take his wife's words to heart. But now he thought of this again in desperation and emphasized this point in front of Wen Zhicheng.
Wen Zhicheng was so angry at Shen Shuping's questioning: "Meixian didn't even know we were buying that piece of land. She and Xu Qinghua have been together for so many years, how could she have cared about business matters? That's why she was so confused when Xu Qinghua went bankrupt and disappeared! Don't be so suspicious. How could I possibly cooperate with Xu Yao's husband? That land originally belonged to Xu Qinghua. If Xu Yao knew about it, wouldn't she be furious?"
Xu Yao is indeed a troublemaker.
But Lin Meixian is not as simple as she seems.
Chen Shuping couldn't figure out what kind of drug Lin Meixian had given Wen Zhicheng. It's not like Wen Zhicheng couldn't get married, but he insisted on marrying Lin Meixian home!
Wen Zhicheng is too abnormal. He wants the land left by Xu Qinghua and the woman left by Xu Qinghua too!
Chen Shuping reminded Wen Zhicheng: "Lin Meixian is not as simple as you think. Xu Qinghua is dead, but Lin Meixian can still interact normally with my second sister-in-law. I heard some time ago that Lin Meixian was helping people to connect with each other in business, and she got commissions from it. She has married you and still needs that little money. I suspect she has other ideas, and the matchmaking is just a cover."
Shen Shuping's words became more and more mysterious, and Wen Zhicheng didn't want to argue with Shen Shuping anymore.
Whether the two men suspected each other, argued, or tried to shift the blame for the leak, they had already lost the land.
This was a heartbreaking pain for both Shen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng.
Neither Shen Shuping nor Wen Zhicheng were among the wealthiest individuals in South City. They were wealthy, but their status was neither high nor low, and both were eager to reach the next level. Status advancement sometimes depended not only on wealth but also on the influence of wealth. The real estate market had been incredibly hot in the past two years, especially in South City, where housing prices had skyrocketed. A good real estate project could truly help Shen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng realize their ambitions. They both wanted to acquire Xu Qinghua's former plot of land.
Now, the land has been bought by Huahu, and the project they had been planning for a long time has fallen through.
What should I do next?
Wen Zhicheng asked Shen Shuping, "Do you think we have a chance to buy the land back from Hua Hu?"
Shen Shuping didn't leave any hope: "Absolutely impossible! Huahu is not short of money. If they sell the land they have acquired, how many times do you think the land price will increase? If the land price is too high, the profit of the project will be gone. Not only will we not make any money, we may even lose money."
It is obviously not possible to put money into it.
Wen Zhicheng was unwilling to give in. "Or maybe we can bring Jiang Zhiyan in and make it a three-party development?"
Shen Shuping didn't have much confidence.
However, it is really unwilling to let Shen Shuping admit defeat.
No matter how small the probability is, Shen Shuping wants to try it.
"Let's make an appointment with Jiang Zhiyan."
Shen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng both invited Jiang Zhiyan, but Jiang Zhiyan saw that one was Shen Yan's biological father and the other was Xu Yao's stepfather, so he turned down both invitations.
——These people are really weird. Do they all think he has a lot of free time? Humph, he still has many activities to attend!
Shen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng met again to discuss.
Wen Zhicheng remembered that Chen Yan had asked for Jiang Zhiyan's contact information at the engagement party. "Didn't he want to visit Jiang Zhiyan? Is there any follow-up? Even if he didn't visit before, he should use this as an excuse to meet Jiang Zhiyan now!"
Shen Shuping's memory was not bad either. "I heard that Jiang Zhiyan thinks highly of your cheap son-in-law. How about letting your cheap son-in-law act as an intermediary to arrange a meeting?"
After the two middle-aged men finished speaking, they looked at each other and went home to find a solution in tacit understanding.
It was easy for Shen Shuping to tell his son to do things, but Wen Zhicheng had to go through a lot of trouble to get Lin Meixian to help.
Wen Zhicheng was in a hurry, but Lin Meixian was completely unaware of his anxiety. After Wen Zhicheng returned home, he waited for a long time before Lin Meixian came home.
Lin Meixian went to attend Mrs. Shen’s party again.
Wen Zhicheng inexplicably recalled Shen Shuping's words, "You seem to be going out to parties all the time recently? You and Shen Zhongjun's wife seem to get along well."
