Chapter 22: Moisture at the Corner of the Eyes
The assistant took the gift from Jiang Zhi's hand and brought a chair for him.
Jiang Zhi's sitting posture is beautiful, and his body proportions are excellent, he has a perfect model figure.
He got straight to the point, "I'm sorry to bother you. My brother is being treated in the ward next door, and I just saw your assistant coming in and out, so I came to visit."
After hearing this, Lin Huaiyan's eyes flashed with understanding.
With Jiang Zhi's current status, he is far from qualified to meet him.
Lin Huaiyan didn't feel offended.
On the contrary, he admires people who work hard to create and seize opportunities.
After years of ups and downs in the business world, he is too familiar with these superficial courtesies.
It would be easier to communicate if we only focus on interests.
"Mr. Jiang is after that piece of land in Hudong, right?"
Lin Huaiyan asked directly.
That piece of land belongs to the Lin family.
If Jiang Zhi wants to gain a firm foothold in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, he must acquire this piece of land.
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly, his expression calm but sincere: "I am willing to purchase it at a price 20% higher than the market price, and I promise to give priority to cooperating with Lin in the next three years."
"Boss Jiang should know that I have no plans to sell that piece of land for the time being."
Lin Huaiyan's tone was flat.
"I know." Jiang Zhi said calmly, "But I have to try my best."
He couldn't accept the resentment that would result from giving up without even trying.
Jiang Zhi has the smoothness that was developed from his background in the city, plus a pretty face.
No one could say anything harsh to him.
If there is no such persistence.
It is impossible for Jiang Zhi to rise from the bottom to where he is today.
Lin Huaiyan is not the type of person who likes to make things difficult for others.
He has always had a good reputation and others are happy to work with him.
Lin Huaiyan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"How about this, you help me find someone. If you can find one, I can even transfer the land to you at a price lower than the market price."
Jiang Zhi had been struggling at the bottom of society since he was a child, so naturally he knew a lot of people from all walks of life.
Perhaps starting from these seemingly insignificant networks can play some unexpected role at critical moments.
Jiang Zhi knew too well the commercial value of that piece of land.
It is a prime location that can generate hundreds of millions in profits once it is developed.
He thought Lin Huaiyan should know better than him.
There was no way he didn't understand the stakes involved.
But this is such a prime location that everyone is vying for.
Lin Huaiyan is actually willing to pay a low price just to find someone?
"I wonder who Mr. Lin is looking for?"
Jiang Zhi was rarely curious about a stranger he had never met before.
"My dear friend, the eldest daughter of the Ming family, Mingzhu."
Lin Huaiyan replied.
Jiang Zhi nodded in understanding.
The long-standing friendship between the Ming and Lin families.
There must be someone who knows about this in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Even though the Ming family no longer has the glory it once had.
But the foundation that Mr. Ming laid with his ruthless means back then is still there, and no one dares to underestimate it.
"Where did Miss Ming disappear?"
Jiang Zhi asked.
Logically speaking, if Miss Ming really disappeared.
That news should have spread throughout the Shanghai Stock Exchange long ago.
It now seems that Miss Ming has not been missing for long, and the news has been suppressed.
"It's at the Ming family's manor."
Lin Huaiyan frowned, confused again.
A living person, with no travel records or consumption records in recent days, just disappeared at home.
"Has the whole area been searched?"
Even if Jiang Zhi had never been to the Ming family manor, he knew that the security level outside the manor must be top-notch.
"I've searched everywhere."
Lin Huaiyan said in a deep voice, with a sense of powerlessness in his voice.
"I'll try my best to find her." Jiang Zhi agreed. "Can you provide a photo of Miss Ming?"
He knew that there was someone like Mingzhu in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
But her photos have never been shown in public and are kept very confidential.
Lin Huaiyan picked up his phone and looked through the photo album, then handed it to Jiang Zhi.
After Jiang Zhi saw the photo, a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed in his eyes.
Even if it is just a blurry candid photo, it cannot hide the stunning beauty of the woman in the photo.
But Jiang Zhi has experienced too much darkness and unbearableness in society.
He has been more mature than his peers since he was young and knows his position better.
So even when I saw the photo, my heart skipped a beat.
Soon it returned to its dead-calm state.
"Sorry, this is the only one I have." Lin Huaiyan looked at the photo with a nostalgic look on his face.
Although it's not a frontal photo, you can still make out the face clearly.
I don't know why.
All the photos of him and Mingzhu that were previously stored in his phone disappeared overnight.
He took this photo secretly later.
Jiang Zhi received the photo and stood up to say goodbye: "Sorry to bother you."
Lin Huaiyan nodded slightly.
The assistant immediately stepped forward to see him off: "Goodbye, Mr. Jiang."
"Goodbye."
Sheng Yuan woke up from his coma, with the heat from the high fever still lingering on his forehead.
He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Cheng standing by his side.
"Mr. Sheng, you're awake." Xiao Cheng quickly handed him a glass of warm water. "The doctor said you have a high fever caused by excessive fatigue."
Sheng Yuan half-propped himself up and looked around the room filled with the atmosphere of Mingzhu's life.
He took the water, took a sip and put it down.
Through the heavy curtains, you can see the sunshine outside the window.
"What time is it now?" Sheng Yuan's voice was hoarse, and his memory gradually returned.
"Any news about Mingzhu?"
"It's three o'clock in the afternoon. You've been in a coma for almost a whole day." Xiao Cheng hesitated and lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, Madam...still can't find it."
Sheng Yuan rubbed his temples, but the headache remained.
When he heard this, he suddenly threw back the quilt, and his voice was filled with suppressed anger: "Then why don't you go find someone?"
"Yes." Xiao Cheng immediately responded and left without any complaints.
As a bodyguard, his primary responsibility is to protect Sheng Yuan's safety.
Sheng Yuan's anger at this moment was simply because he couldn't find Mingzhu and was inexplicably taking his anger out on others.
How could anyone dare to take the pearl away right under his nose?
"Who on earth is it..."
Better not to get caught by him.
The only old butler who might have known about the incident has passed away.
This made Sheng Yuan feel powerless for the first time.
Thinking of the divorce agreement that has already been signed.
Sheng Yuan felt like a stone was pressing on his chest.
He must find the pearl.
Ask her directly what she means.
"Wang Zhu, where is the divorce agreement?" he dialed the number.
"Mr. Sheng, it's still in the company."
Special Assistant Wang on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the boss would ask this.
Fortunately, he did not give the divorce agreement to the lawyer on his own initiative.
Sheng Yuan hung up the phone and gritted his teeth.
The bitterness in my heart spread, and a slight moisture appeared at the corners of my eyes.
But it soon disappeared, like an illusion.
Wait until he finds the pearl.
Be sure to let her know the consequences of signing a divorce agreement without authorization.
