Jiang Ning received eight million yuan from the demolition compensation and even appeared on television, which quickly attracted the attention of Hong Kong businessmen.
Sitting in a luxury suite at a five-star hotel, Chen Hao said to his most capable assistant, Tao Zai:
"Tao, this woman is quite pretty, could you go and get her information for me?"
He is a typical Hong Konger, and his Mandarin has a Hong Kong accent.
Lin Tao stared at Jiang Ning's face on the TV screen, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
"Mr. Chen, there's no need to look for her. This woman is an old acquaintance of mine. Her husband is my cousin, Lin Chen. They had twins after they got married and now live in a courtyard house."
She now runs a trading company, while Lin Chen is a partner in a construction company.
Their combined net worth and assets should exceed ten million.
Upon hearing this, Chen Hao put a thumb-thick cigar in his mouth and rubbed his hands together.
"Tao, it seems you need to work harder. Your current net worth is probably less than a million, which is far behind your cousin's."
"Do a good job on this hotel project, and I guarantee you'll make a fortune."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tao quickly offered his compliments:
"Thank you for your appreciation, Brother Hao."
After his last escape, he returned to Guangzhou and then went to Hong Kong with his boss, King Yama.
As Yama's influence in Hong Kong gradually expanded, he slowly began to engage with legitimate industries.
He made tens of millions during the first wave of rising property prices.
He was optimistic about the market in the capital and was also preparing for his return, so he sent Chen Hao to negotiate the first project.
Of course, he wasn't entirely at ease with Chen Hao either, so he also placed the surgically enhanced Lin Tao by his side.
Mainland China started issuing ID cards in 1984, while Hong Kong did so even earlier.
His current ID card reads Fang Shengtao, but people inside call him Taozai.
He had his plastic surgery done abroad, and his appearance is more Western, with thick eyebrows, big double eyelids, and a high nose bridge; he's quite handsome.
Duo Mei, the finance girl who came with them, was bewitched by him and became his mistress.
Lin Tao stayed with them, concealing his identity very well, and no one recognized him.
After learning that Jiang Ning had received eight million yuan in compensation for the demolition, he was so jealous that he secretly hired someone to stir up trouble with the original homeowner, saying that they had sold the house to Jiang Ning at a low price, and that the contract they signed was invalid. He claimed that if they went to court, they could get the house back.
Many people believed it and actually went to court to sue, making Jiang Ning a defendant.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jie also joined the ranks of those filing lawsuits.
Jiang Ning didn't have time to deal with such a minor lawsuit, so she hired a lawyer to help her with the case.
The lawyer she hired, although only a few years into his practice, had never lost a case in handling various economic disputes.
In the office, Jiang Ning sat in a chair, took a sip of tea, and said:
“Attorney Wu, if you can help me win this case, I can give you 10,000 yuan in legal fees. In addition, I can entrust my company's legal affairs to you, and the annual legal fees can reach 200,000 yuan.”
Wu Hao, who was twenty-eight years old at the time, stood up and said, "Thank you, President Jiang. I will do my best."
Wu Hao's current law firm is a state-owned enterprise. His salary is 280 yuan a month, and even with bonuses, it won't exceed 4,000 yuan a year.
For him, this lawsuit was not only about protecting her money, but also about securing a better future for himself.
Moreover, when he first met Jiang Ning, he was attracted by her dignified and calm temperament.
It turns out that there really are women who, even though they are no longer in their twenties and full of youthful energy, can still be more elegant and feminine.
Her mature charm made his heart skip a beat, and being able to work by her side was his greatest motivation.
As soon as Wu Hao left, Xu Yan came in to report on her work.
She now focuses on export business, and the number of export products has increased from a few to dozens, with hundreds of clients.
However, she has several managers in charge of specific areas, so as the vice president, she only needs to report the overall work progress to Jiang Ning.
"How are things between you and Yu Xiao?"
After discussing work, Jiang Ning inquired about her love life.
Xu Yan shrugged. "It's still the same. After his mother passed away, he wanted to register our marriage, but I didn't agree. If we get married, my money will become joint property, so I need to think about it carefully."
After Yu Xiao and Wen Manman got engaged, Xu Yan and Yu Xiao broke up completely.
However, as the two had more frequent contact at work, their feelings for each other warmed up a bit.
Especially after Yu Xiao's mother suddenly died in a car accident, Yu Xiao became even more determined to pursue her.
Xu Yan is a sentimental person, so she got back together with him.
But she was still clear-headed and knew that she couldn't easily take out the more than 600,000 yuan she had saved up over the years.
Jiang Ning advised her to think it through, and that even if she got married, she must keep this money safe.
Xu Yan had just left when Wang Meizhu called.
"Ross and I would like to invite you to lunch. Are you free?"
Wang Meizhu injured her leg in an accident. Ross put aside all his business and took care of her wholeheartedly for more than a month, finally winning her heart.
Originally, Ross had already proposed, but Wang Meizhu felt that things were progressing too fast and that they should date first. They are currently in a passionate relationship.
"Great, when did Ross come to China?"
Ross tries to delegate his business in other countries to others and spends most of his time in China, but he still has to travel for work.
He was away for half a month this time.
Wang Meizhu: "He came back yesterday. He found a good project and wants to talk to you about it."
The two agreed to go to a Western restaurant together after get off work.
More than an hour later, the group arrived at a high-end Western restaurant and chose a window seat.
"I heard you've been in trouble lately?" Ross spoke first.
Jiang Ning stirred her coffee with a spoon.
"It's nothing serious, I've already handed it over to the lawyer."
Ross shook his head and chuckled, "That's what I admire most about you—your ability to remain rational at all times."
"I heard you received eight million yuan in compensation for this demolition; that's a huge sum. Wouldn't you like to see it appreciate further?"
Jiang Ning leaned back, giving him a look that said, "You tell me first."
Ross then told her about his idea of importing cars.
"China's car ownership is not very high compared to the rest of the world. With over a billion people, China is a huge market!"
Ross said excitedly, as if he were a son-in-law of China.
Jiang Ning took a sip of coffee.
"Since the market is so big, why not manufacture it ourselves instead of importing it? Unless you can convince me otherwise."
In this day and age, cars are worth more than houses. A house is worth at most tens of thousands of yuan, while a car can cost hundreds of thousands, and some even two or three hundred thousand yuan.
Only the wealthiest group of people have purchasing power.
