I don’t know what Dali did, but Yuan Yong’s cursing voice suddenly disappeared.
An Ci felt that her ears were finally quiet. When she raised her eyes, she met Yuan Qi's gaze. She did not avoid it and let him look at her.
Neither of them spoke, as if they were competing to see who could keep calmer.
The room fell into a mysterious silence.
Yuan Qi frowned, not expecting the young man in front of him to be so patient. He finally couldn't help but speak, "Who are you? What's your purpose?"
"Isn't my purpose obvious enough?" An Ci curled his lips, and his casual tone could easily make people let down their guard.
Yuan Qi looked at her, and thinking of what she had just said to Yuan Yong, his brows almost twisted into the shape of a "川" character. "Are you here for this piece of land?"
An Ci smiled, "Talking to smart people saves effort."
"Are you the one who wants to buy this land?"
It's no wonder that Yuan Qi didn't believe it. No matter how you look at it, An Ci is just a child of ten years old. Who would dare to believe that such a young child would say he wanted to buy land? It was simply unbelievable.
An Ci raised his eyebrows, "Is there a problem?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Yuan Qi's shock became more obvious. "No, are you serious?"
Knowing that he wouldn't believe it just by words, An Ci handed him the document bag he had brought with him, "Here, take a look."
Yuan Qi looked down at the file bag she handed him, reached out to take it, and opened it in front of An Ci.
It's a land sale contract.
After reading through it, Yuan Qi's face darkened slightly. He looked straight at An Ci and said, "I don't know what Yuan Yong promised you, but this piece of land is mine. It has nothing to do with him. His decision has nothing to do with me. I will not sell this land."
An Ci listened to him quietly and then spoke slowly, "Reason?"
This apartment has not been repaired for many years. If it is not renovated, it will become a dangerous building sooner or later. Since he does not live here, there is no point in keeping it.
"If you sell this land, you can use the money to start a new life, right?"
Yuan Qi's expression changed slightly, but he wasn't angry at all. "You're investigating me?"
An Ci admitted frankly, "I spent so much money to sell the land, isn't it normal to investigate the owner of this land?"
Yuan Qi was no fool to be able to reach the position of deputy general manager. He looked at An Ci with complicated eyes, "Who are you?"
An Ci raised his lips, a faint smile spreading from the corners of his eyes, a hint of amusement, "Someone who can help you make a comeback."
Yuan Qi frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Yuan Yong is spreading rumors and slandering you everywhere, and you've been wrongly framed by your competitors. Under these circumstances, do you think any good company in the capital would dare to hire you?"
An Ci speaks slowly but always hits the nail on the head.
Yuan Qi suddenly felt like he was seen through and was speechless for a moment. An Ci did not rush him and gave him time to think slowly.
From the brief conversation, Yuan Qi could no longer regard An Ci as an ordinary child. After all, which child would be as meticulous as him.
He looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Tell me your purpose."
"I can help you make a comeback and clear your name, but there's a prerequisite."
When it came to business, An Ci put away the smile on her face, and her eyes showed a maturity beyond her age. "If you join my camp, I want your absolute loyalty."
Yuan Qi was stunned, his expression dull as her words "absolute loyalty" echoed in his ears.
"Wait." He held his forehead, "Give me some time." Then he looked at her seriously, "No, excuse me, how old are you?"
Is it possible that she just has a childish face and is actually an adult?
An Ci didn't hide it from him, "Thirteen."
Yuan Qi gasped, "Are you really thirteen?"
An Ci calmly looked at his surprised expression and chuckled, "Don't you think so?"
Yuan Qi, “…”
Looks like thirteen, talks like thirty.
He gradually accepted the impact An Ci had on him and asked her, "I haven't even agreed yet, how can you be sure that I will join your camp?"
"I have many ways to take over this land, but do you have any other way out?" An Ci looked straight at him, his words full of calmness.
"You're being suppressed by your former company and competitors, and you have a brother who constantly stabs you in the back. When do you think you'll be able to make a comeback? Do you plan to keep fighting them to the bitter end, burying your talents and wasting your time on them?"
Yuan Qi gritted his teeth, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, but he had to admit that what An Ci said made sense, and every word touched his heart.
No matter how talented he is, he is ultimately no match for his superiors. If he relies on himself alone, it may take him a year or two to clear his name. But if this grievance is not cleared up in one day, I am afraid no company will be willing to hire him.
After thinking for a while, he looked at An Ci and said thoughtfully, "Can you really help me?"
An Ci nodded slightly, and Yuan Qi continued, "If you want me to trust you, you must first tell me your name."
"An Ci." she said.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi went through all the famous families in the imperial capital in his mind, but he couldn't remember anyone with the surname An.
As if seeing through his thoughts, An Ci added, "Have you heard of the Song Group?"
Yuan Qi said without hesitation, "Of course."
An Ci continued to throw out a thunder, "That's my home."
Yuan Qi's eyes widened. "How is that possible? Isn't your last name An?"
An Ci said, "I take my mother's last name."
Yuan Qi was stunned. Only after she reminded him did he remember that the wife of the president of the Song Group was called An Lan, a strong woman whose business acumen and means were not inferior to Song Xiunian.
Yuan Qi looked as if he had realized something. He now had a reasonable explanation for why An Ci was more mature than her peers. With such outstanding parents, her excellence was not difficult to understand.
“So you bought this land…”
"No." As if he had guessed what he would say next, An Ci interrupted him, "My decision to buy this piece of land is my own business. It has nothing to do with my parents."
Yuan Qi was confused. "Then what are you going to do with this piece of land?"
"Have you made up your mind by asking this question?" An Ci asked instead of answering, "Join my camp?"
