Chapter 294 The Richest Man
A ripple stirred in Lu Junyan's deep eyes.
He remembered it too.
When they first got married, Jiang Ning often asked him if the dishes he cooked suited his taste.
Jiang Ning's cautiousness at that time, and the expectant light in his eyes, are things he can only clearly recall now.
At that time, he didn't even notice.
I never paid any attention to it.
On several occasions, he gave his evaluations casually.
After he gave an "average" evaluation, the light in Jiang Ning's eyes seemed to be shattered and disappeared instantly.
Then, when making the same dish again, the taste will be improved to some extent.
Jiang Ning has always been trying her best in her own way to be a good wife in his eyes.
Although Jiang Ning was the one drinking coffee, Lu Junyan felt his mouth was full of bitterness.
My mouth tastes bitter, but my heart tastes even bitterer.
But Jiang Ning was the one who suffered at that time, and he had no right to complain.
Whether in the past or now.
"If you don't like it, then don't drink it. I'll make you a new one."
"Need not."
Just as Lu Junyan reached for Jiang Ning's coffee cup, Jiang Ning's hand reached out.
The two people's fingers touched.
In an instant, Lu Junyan inexplicably felt an electric current strike his fingers.
The tingling sensation spread all the way to his chest.
He looked up and gazed at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning did not avoid Lu Junyan's gaze, but her fingers still curled up.
Lu Junyan has beautiful eyes.
These are eyes that can captivate the world without needing to smile or even make a fuss.
It's hard not to be moved when stared at by eyes like that.
If Jiang Ning didn't know Lu Junyan.
In Lu Junyan's opinion, Jiang Ning's eyes were also beautiful.
But his eyes were like coffee that had gone cold.
She was a woman with whom he had shared countless intimate moments, yet now she seemed as unattainable as a high-mountain flower.
Lu Junyan subconsciously reached out his hand, but Jiang Ning stopped him before he could touch Jiang Ning's cheek.
"President Jiang, I can read palms."
Lu Junyan seized Jiang Ning's wrist and pinned it to his own palm.
This action may seem domineering, but the force is actually quite gentle.
"Let me take a look at your palm... You have a life destined for great wealth and prosperity, especially your future husband, who will definitely be both handsome and rich."
Jiang Ning forcefully pulled her hand back, giving Lu Junyan a forced smile:
"You're absolutely right. Anyway, my future husband will never be a male assistant who earns 2,500 yuan a month."
After saying that, Jiang Ning stood up.
"Notify all department managers that a meeting is now being held."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
Lu Junyan stared at Jiang Ning, who was bossing him around with such self-righteousness, and the corners of his mouth widened into a grin.
In the conference room, Jiang Ning formulated a series of plans for the cooperation with CelestiMed.
She was very serious, but the department managers were more or less distracted.
It's not their fault.
Because Lu Junyan, standing behind Jiang Ning, was simply too conspicuous.
No matter what, Lu Junyan was the former head of the Lu Group, and overnight he became the assistant of the new head—
No novels would typically be written like this.
Lu Junyan himself wasn't embarrassed, but the others couldn't help feeling awkward.
The meeting lasted for two hours, during which Jiang Ning asked everyone to take a ten-minute break.
At this moment, Lu Junyan, standing behind her, spoke to Jiang Ning at a volume loud enough for everyone in the conference room to hear:
"President Jiang, shall I give you a shoulder massage?"
Even though Lu Junyan was leaning down and whispering in her ear, his voice was so loud it sounded like he was announcing it to everyone.
Jiang Ning covered her ear with one hand, turned to look at Lu Junyan, and smiled brightly.
"not good."
"Shall I give you a back massage?"
"Need not."
"Shall I give you a foot massage?"
Jiang Ning: …………
The meeting resumed ten minutes later.
During the handover process, Xiao Zhang witnessed his successor, Lu Junyan, being personally kicked out of the meeting room by Jiang Ning.
"Mr. Lu, is the plan progressing smoothly?"
Xiao Zhang approached Lu Junyan and asked softly.
Lu Junyan faced the closed conference room door, his expression unchanged.
"smoothly……"
He glanced at Xiao Zhang beside him, his expression growing increasingly confident.
"At least I haven't been fired yet."
Xiao Zhang nodded slightly, offering no comment on Lu Junyan's confidence.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, Mr. Jiang has auctioned off the Cloud Top Jade Pavilion."
The moment Lu Junyan heard Xiao Zhang's words, the smile on his face vanished.
The Jade Pavilion on the Cloud Top... was his and Jiang Ning's wedding room.
After he left with nothing, the marital home naturally belonged to Jiang Ning.
Lu Junyan was not reluctant to give up the property.
However, he did find it difficult to part with the Jade Pavilion on the Cloud Top.
Because that's the bridal chamber—
His and Jiang Ning's marital home.
Lu Junyan had guessed that Jiang Ning wouldn't move to Yunding Jade Pavilion after obtaining it.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Ning would put Yunding Jade Pavilion up for auction so quickly after completing the transfer procedures.
It's as if I don't want to have even a minute more.
"What a heartless woman..."
While Lu Junyan verbally criticized Jiang Ning, he was actually feeling lost and disappointed.
He let out a heavy sigh, his chest feeling as if weighed down by a weight.
Has the house been sold?
Xiao Zhang glanced at the time and replied, "The auction starts at four o'clock this afternoon."
"Take it down."
Lu Junyan's instructions were concise, straightforward, and clear.
Xiao Zhang paused for a moment, then asked, "What's the upper limit?"
Lu Junyan didn't speak, but answered Xiao Zhang with his eyes.
Xiao Zhang immediately realized that his question was indeed unnecessary.
"Then, Mr. Lu... what identity will you use to bid for it?"
Lu Junyan remained silent for a moment, then smiled slightly.
Jiang Ning received a call from the auction house just as the meeting ended.
The other party told her over the phone that the Yunding Jade Pavilion had been auctioned off to a buyer for 173 million.
The price of nearly 200 million yuan surprised Jiang Ning.
Although Yunding Jade Pavilion has a good location and is fully furnished, it is not a detached villa after all. In addition, as a wedding home, the fact that the couple living there eventually divorced is not a good omen for anyone. Jiang Ning initially thought that Yunding Jade Pavilion was very likely to fail to sell at auction, let alone fetch a high price.
The final price was much higher than she had imagined.
"...May I ask who bought it?"
Jiang Ning was simply a little curious.
She had initially thought that if the auction house refused to disclose the information, then so be it.
The other party answered very readily.
"It's Mr. John, the richest man on H Island."
John is such a common name that Jiang Ning couldn't pinpoint a specific person to it.
H Island is a very wealthy island nation, and some of the world's richest businessmen like to set up offshore companies there for legal tax avoidance and privacy protection.
"Okay, thank you."
Jiang Ning hung up the phone, thinking to himself that the richest man on H Island had spent a fortune to buy their secondhand apartment in City A—
What a foolish thing to do!
Meanwhile, at the general manager's assistant's workstation, the phone screen was still lit up.
The above shows a WeChat message that Xiao Zhang sent to Lu Junyan ten minutes ago:
Mr. Lu, the house has been auctioned off for 173 million.
