Chapter 278 It’s Chen Ci
"You haven't checked? Then how do you know her family background?" Li Wanchang glared and asked with gritted teeth.
Such a tone could not help but make Mrs. Li even more puzzled: "Then do we need to check specifically? Wouldn't it be enough to just ask around? What's wrong with you today? Why do you keep mentioning Shen Ci?"
"You are really good at causing trouble instead of helping others!" Li Wanchang scolded viciously.
Mrs. Li was furious when she heard this. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and said, "Li Wanchang! What the hell are you doing? What did I do to you?"
Her life has been miserable enough recently. Her son is not around and is far away on the other side of the ocean. Whenever she thinks of him, her heart aches.
Ever since her son left, her days have been dark and she feels like she has lost her purpose.
But Li Wanchang didn't think so. His son changed his major to study abroad, which was exactly what he wanted, so he supported it very much and gave his son the best material conditions and support abroad.
"Do you know who snatched away the industrial park that the group lost last year?" Li Wanchang asked, staring into his wife's eyes.
Mrs. Li was completely confused. Upon hearing this, she retorted, "When did you ever allow me to interfere in the group's affairs? How would I know who bought it? It wasn't me who bought it!"
“Shen Ci!”
Li Wanchang roared loudly, his voice so heavy and powerful that it resonated throughout the restaurant, as if it was going to rip the roof off.
Mrs. Li was so frightened that she trembled, and then her face was filled with an incredible expression: "Who, who? Chen Ci?"
"That's right, it's Chen Ci, the Chen Ci you said was not worthy of your son, who used a budget 20,000 higher than the group's capped budget to snatch the land that should have belonged to us!"
"How is that possible!" Mrs. Li shook her head in disbelief. "Absolutely impossible. She's just an ordinary girl from Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and she relies on a scholarship to attend school."
"Ignorant! Stupid!" Li Wanchang slammed the table. "Over 200,000! Even a company with a market capitalization of a million might not have that much cash flow. She can come up with that much, and you still say she's from an ordinary family?"
Even though the facts were right in front of her, Mrs. Li still couldn't believe it.
"Something must have gone wrong. This is absolutely impossible. Is it possible that she was taking the photos for someone else? Don't you often encounter low-key investors using proxy photographers?"
Li Wanchang said, "The latest owner of the industrial park has been announced. When I first saw the name Chen Ci, I thought it was just a coincidence. The people I sent to investigate just now have confirmed with me that the current owner of the industrial park is Chen Ci, the Chen Ci we all know!"
Mrs. Li was speechless.
She looked shocked and found it hard to accept in her heart.
After Li Wanchang lost his temper, he quickly calmed down. He also knew that it was useless to blame anyone at this time and nothing could be salvaged.
But the land in the industrial park is very important to the Li family. He made up his mind to buy the land because the group already had a new development project.
And that industrial park is the perfect site for the project.
"The group wants that land?" Mrs. Li came back to her senses after a long time and saw what Li Wanchang was thinking.
Li Wanchang glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for Chen Ci showing up, we would have successfully acquired the land last year with the capital limit of our Li family."
"Although we failed, the group received a large amount of capital at the end of the year, and we can increase the price a little on the original basis. If Shen Ci is willing to sell it, she will make a profit."
It was obvious that Li Wanchang regarded Shen Ci as a middleman for land speculation.
For an individual who owns such a large industrial park, the possibility of speculating on land is the greatest.
Because the industrial park can no longer sustain itself, if we continue to operate it after taking it over, we will not be able to make a profit in a hundred years.
And Shen Ci didn't have a registered company, which meant she had no projects to develop. So if he offered a very attractive price, then she could easily make money by just selling the land to Shen Ci. Then she should have no reason to refuse!
"Li wants to discuss business with Shen Ci? What right does she have?" Mrs. Li said angrily.
"Because this piece of land belongs to her, and our Li family needs it!" Li Wanchang glared at her angrily: "Can you wake up a little? You are just a woman!"
"I……"
Li Wanchang raised his hand irritably: "Don't interfere in anything related to Shen Ci in the future. This matter needs to be considered in the long run. The unpleasantness before will definitely affect the subsequent matters. So I can't let Shen Ci know that it was the Li family who wanted that piece of land. I have to arrange for someone she is a complete stranger to talk to her!"
As he spoke, Li Wanchang already had a suitable candidate in his mind.
He quickly dialed out his phone, and the phone rang once before being quickly answered: "Chairman?"
"Yongxiu, I have something to tell you..."
The next day, Shen Ci got up early and went downstairs.
Mother had already prepared breakfast and Xingxing was already sitting at the dining table.
"Good morning, sis!"
Unlike the first day when he was too excited and suffered from insomnia, Xingxing looked particularly energetic today.
She smiled and patted her brother's head, then went into the kitchen: "Mom, did you sleep well?"
Shen Jingjing was frying eggs and said, "It's fine. Can I add some sugar to the soy milk?"
"No." Chen Ci said, "Mom, Xingxing and I will go to school soon. I usually come back on weekends. If you are alone at home during the day, remember to call me if you have any problems. There are all kinds of things around the community. You can walk around freely. Just be careful."
"Mom knows. You don't have to worry about me. Just eat quickly and go to school."
At seven o'clock, Uncle Jiang's car honked outside on time.
Shen Ci pulled the packed suitcase out the door quickly. Shen Jingjing sent him to the door and waved from a distance.
“Happy start of school!”
As soon as she got in the car, Gu Lianxing suddenly screamed. Fortunately, Shen Ci was already used to her being startled. He just glanced at her speechlessly and turned to greet Uncle Jiang and Jiang Lingchuan.
"Are aunt and brother settled? When will you invite us to dinner at home? I miss aunt's cooking!" Gu Lianxing affectionately hooked her arm around Chen Ci's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, blinked, and asked.
"Next week, maybe. My mom was asking about Pili last night. When she heard that Pili's wife had passed away, she couldn't help crying again."
Perhaps because she is a mother of three children, it is always easy for a mother to empathize with her children when they lose their mother.
And Pili has lost more than once.
Speaking of Pili, Lian Xing sat up straight and sighed, "I don't know if she's really okay. I've asked her out twice since she went back. I don't think she's completely over it yet."
"It's not easy to let go of something like this. Give her more time." Shen Ci said.
