Jian Yu had just finished taking her medicine and was about to take a nap when Gao Hui called again.
By noon, Gao Hui had already sent several messages, all of which were apologizing on behalf of her mother.
Jian Yu was very careful with her words and phrases. She couldn't bear to put Gao Hui in such a difficult position, so she indicated that she was no longer angry.
Gao Hui took the opportunity to ask Jian Yu if he was still willing to help with tutoring.
Jian Yu replied that they would talk about it after she was discharged from the hospital.
Why is Gao Hui still calling when everything has been explained so clearly?
In the end, Jian Yu accepted.
"Ms. Jian! Are you feeling better?"
It turned out to be Gao Hui's mother. Jian Yu didn't want to talk to her at all.
"I don't have anything else to say, I just wanted to ask how you are? Are you feeling any better?"
Jian Yu rubbed her temples, feeling a bit depressed. She just wanted to stay in the hospital to recuperate.
Why can't I find any peace and quiet?
Gao Hui's mother sounded apologetic. "I was rude this morning, and I was too anxious. Can you understand how we parents feel? For so many years, I've been focused on Gao Hui, hoping she can get into a good school and have a good job in the future. Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid so much to have you tutor her. We've gotten along very well these past few months, so don't let this incident cause any distance between us. You can continue tutoring Gao Hui after you recover."
Jian Yu glanced at the phone strangely; Gao Hui's mother wasn't someone who was easy to talk to.
It's already good enough that he didn't scold Gao Hui in front of her, so why would he call to apologize?
Could it be that Gao Hui persuaded her?
It doesn't seem like it!
"In order not to delay Gao Hui's studies, you should find her a new tutor!"
"No, please..."
Before Gao Hui's mother could finish speaking, a burst of noise came from the phone, followed by a man's voice, "Teacher Jian, I'm sorry to disturb your recovery."
Gao Hui's father?
During the Spring Festival, Jian Yu met Gao Hui's father once, and still remembers his voice.
"Uncle Gao?"
Unexpectedly, even Mr. Gao, who is usually so busy that he is rarely seen, came out.
"Hey, it's me. Gao Hui has already told me what happened. It's true that your aunt was wrong. I apologize to you on her behalf. I brought back some foreign specialties from my last trip abroad. I'll have Gao Hui bring some to you later. You should take good care of yourself."
"No need, Gao Hui has already apologized."
"So you're not angry anymore, right?"
"I'm not angry, I'm just afraid of interfering with Gao Hui's study time."
"Don't say that. We're more than happy that you're willing to come for tutoring. Let's make it a deal then. After you recover, you can come to our house to tutor Gao Hui again."
"Let's talk about it after I'm discharged from the hospital in a few days."
"Okay! See you in a few days."
After hanging up the phone, Jianyu switched his phone to airplane mode.
When I woke up, both hospital beds were occupied by new patients.
Two more days passed, and Jian Yu felt much better, so she finally felt like turning on her phone.
The first thing that popped up was several missed calls.
Uncle Zhang?
Uncle Zhang couldn't get through on the phone, so he sent Jian Yu a text message.
Tell Jianyu that someone wants to buy her land.
Jian Yu had bought that piece of land more than four months ago.
Based on the timeline, the government will announce the development plan in less than two months.
Jian Yu suspected that the other party had likely received inside information when they came to buy the land at this particular time.
The fact that they were able to get the news in advance suggests that they have a certain network of connections.
Jian Yu hadn't decided what to do with the vacant lot; if the other party really wanted it, she could sell it.
The money from the sale can be used to buy shares in the royal family's stock.
This is worth much more than that piece of land after it's been developed.
Jian Yu called Uncle Zhang back and told him that she would be going back in the next few days.
Uncle Zhang asked her if she could come back as soon as possible.
"What's wrong?"
"The other party is in a hurry."
After a moment's thought, Jian Yu immediately completed the discharge procedures.
That same day, he took his documents and took the train to Jianjia Village.
Uncle Zhang had informed Jian Yu in advance of his arrival.
There were only three people who came. The leader was a middle-aged man around fifty years old who spoke with great eloquence.
The other middle-aged man was probably his assistant, and there was a young man, presumably his son, who looked very much like him.
The three were dressed in seemingly ordinary but actually high-end handmade clothing.
He was driving a car worth around 100,000 yuan; it was obvious at a glance that he did it on purpose.
Jian Yu had a better understanding of the situation, so he remained silent and waited for the other party to speak first.
Seeing that Jian Yu was young and alone, the other party looked down on him.
They asked Uncle Zhang to pass on a message to Jian Yu, saying they were willing to pay an extra 10,000 yuan to buy the land.
I bought it for 50,000 yuan, and I have 10,000 yuan left over, so it's 60,000 yuan.
This is not the number that Jian Yu had in mind.
This plot of land has a good location, backed by a mountain spring, with beautiful scenery on both sides, and convenient transportation after development.
It is a natural hot spring site.
If you build a ring of hotels around it, it will become a resort.
In my past life, this was a huge signboard in the scenic area.
You need to make a reservation to check in, and sometimes you can't even get a reservation six months in advance.
These people, who were able to get inside information in advance, must have already conducted on-site surveys. Maybe they were the developers of the hot spring resort in their past lives.
If it was the original developer, Jian Yu was certain they were determined to acquire this land.
"I won't sell at this price." Jian Yu shook his head and refused outright.
Uncle Zhang glanced at the group of people, then pulled Jian Yu away to a distance. "Jian Yu, ten thousand yuan is no small sum. This is the extra amount I added for you. When your grandmother comes back to stay, this piece of land is so big that no matter what you do, it will take at least three to five people to manage it."
Jian Yu remained silent.
Uncle Zhang continued, "You bought three houses from the fourth brother. Those houses are all quite large. If you fence them off, they'll keep your grandma busy enough."
Jian Yu shook his head again, "No. If the price isn't right, then let it stay idle! There will always be a suitable occasion to use it later."
Uncle Zhang asked, "Are you serious?"
"right!"
"How much do you want?" Uncle Zhang probed. "Eighty thousand, perhaps?"
“…” Jian Yu glanced back, “Let them talk to me!”
"Hiss!" Uncle Zhang gasped. "You really want 80,000? That's too much."
Jian Yu rubbed her fingers together, not daring to tell Uncle Zhang her real price.
When the group saw Uncle Zhang return, they asked, "How did it go?"
“Jian Yu doesn’t agree to your price. Would you like to add some more?” Uncle Zhang asked tentatively on Jian Yu’s behalf.
The young man who asked the question glanced at Jian Yu, then at their leader, and asked, "How many does she want?"
"Adding just 10,000 is definitely not enough."
The young man turned to tell his superior, who looked at Jian Yu and said, "Didn't this village chief confidently say that adding another 10,000 would definitely be enough?"
"I heard that this girl lives in a big city, so she's probably seen a lot of the world."
Compared to the farmers who have lived here for generations, people who live in big cities are not so easily satisfied with ten thousand yuan.
"Go and ask the young girl about her price. Don't let the old man relay the message, or he'll give you the same quote from both sides."
The young man was impatient and immediately left Uncle Zhang to go find Jian Yu.
Uncle Zhang wasn't angry. He found a rock, sat down, and watched the commotion while smoking.
"Young lady, what's your price?"
Jian Yu held out one hand, "One price, this amount."
