Chapter 809 Cousin-law
When Tang Haifeng knew that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had arrived, he immediately walked out. After coming out, he said, "Ningning is back," and then focused his attention on Leng Shaoting, chatting with him and ignoring Gu Ning.
Gu Ning didn't think anything of it, he just felt that this sudden change in style was a bit weird.
Before, as soon as she arrived at the Tang family, they would surround her and talk to her, and as long as Leng Shaoting was there, she would become Leng Shaoting's.
"Boy, play chess with me." Tang Haifeng said.
"Okay." Leng Shaoting did not refuse. He stood up and went to play chess with Tang Haifeng.
"I know you are good at chess, but give me the chess piece. Otherwise, it would be like you are looking down on an old man like me." Tang Haifeng warned in advance with a threatening look on his face.
Tang Yunfan's chess skills were slightly inferior to his, but he was defeated by Leng Shaoting. So when Tang Haifeng met Leng Shaoting, he felt like he had met a worthy opponent. He wanted a real contest, so what was the point of cheating!
"Yes, grandpa." Leng Shaoting agreed. In this case, he would not be polite.
Tang Haifeng and Leng Shaoting's chess skills were equal at first, then Leng Shaoting was slightly better, and finally Leng Shaoting won, narrowly.
"Not bad, not bad." Although he lost, Tang Haifeng did not feel unhappy at all. Instead, he felt happy because he had not felt so happy playing chess for a long time.
As for his old friends, they would either be crushed by him or crush him. There was no need to go through thrilling fights. That would be too unconscious and there would be no suspense at all. You would know who would win and who would lose before the fight even started.
It was almost dinner time. Jiang Lihua asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes and wanted Leng Shaoting to stay at home for dinner, but was stopped by Gu Ning, who said that they had made an appointment with friends to eat outside and their friends were already waiting. He also said that Leng Shaoting came to the Tang family to see everyone as soon as he got off the plane, and then went to meet with his friends because he had other tasks in the evening.
Everyone felt very touched to hear this. They felt that Leng Shaoting was so thoughtful and they liked Leng Shaoting more and more.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting left when it was almost six o'clock to avoid keeping them waiting any longer. Besides, Leng Shaoting and others still had to carry out a mission in the evening!
Gu Ning naturally would not ask too much about Leng Shaoting's mission, after all, it was a state secret.
As soon as he went out, he met Tang Yunfan who had just returned. When he saw Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, he was stunned for a moment.
Originally, he looked happy when he saw Gu Ning, but when he saw Leng Shaoting, his expression became serious. It was not that he didn't want to see Leng Shaoting, but he just wanted to put on airs in front of him to prevent him from thinking that he was easy to talk to and looking down on Gu Ning.
Although Tang Yunfan was overthinking, he was really worried that Gu Ning would be looked down upon by Leng Shaoting.
"Uncle Tang." Leng Shaoting shouted.
"Dad, you're back." Gu Ning also greeted him.
"It's time to eat. Where are we going?" Tang Yunfan asked.
"We have an appointment with our friends, so we have to go there. We also have a mission in the evening." Leng Shaoting said.
"Well, go ahead!"
Since he had made an appointment with his friends and had a mission, Tang Yunfan naturally did not try to persuade Gu Ning to stay. He reminded Gu Ning, "By the way, don't come to pick up your mother tonight."
"Puchi" Gu Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard it. If she didn't come to pick up Gu Man, Gu Man would naturally not be able to go back.
Being laughed at by his own daughter, Tang Yunfan was a little embarrassed, but if he was not thick-skinned, how could he keep his beloved woman! Then he pretended nothing had happened and walked away.
Then Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting also got in the car and left.
Leng Shaoting felt a little uncomfortable. Gu Ning was free tonight, but he had to be busy and couldn't be with her.
On the way, Gu Ning's cell phone rang. It was K calling, and Gu Ning answered it directly.
"Boss, I found some evidence of the Mu family's illegal activities. I want to take action against them. Will the Tang family intervene?" K asked.
The moment he started investigating the Mu family, he had no intention of letting them go, but the Mu family and the Tang family had a friendship, so he had to consider Gu Ning to some extent.
"I've already told grandpa that the Tang family won't interfere. Just do whatever you want!" Gu Ning said.
"Okay." K felt relieved after hearing Gu Ning's words.
Not long after hanging up the phone with K, Gu Ning's phone rang again. It was An Guangyao calling.
"Uncle An, have you arrived?" Gu Ning asked.
"Boss, because the flight was delayed today, we just arrived in Hai City now. It's getting late now. We plan to eat first. It will be dark after dinner, so we will go and see it tomorrow." An Guangyao said.
Because this project is a big one, An Guangyao had to come and see it in person.
Although [Shenghua Real Estate] has expanded a lot now, [Shenghua Real Estate] still has many projects under construction. The residential community in City F has not been completed yet, and there is also Zhengyang Street in City D and the Capital Group Building.
Recruiting people takes time, so manpower is still limited, and new recruits naturally cannot be entrusted with important tasks.
Because of the limited number of workers, this food project has to be built in cooperation with external parties. In order to keep the wealth within the family, Gu Ning will directly contact the real estate company under the Tanghuang Group. However, An Guangyao has to negotiate the cooperation himself, and Gu Ning will not interfere.
Gu Ning would only show up when necessary.
"Well, how many of you are there?" Gu Ning asked.
"There are eight people in total." An Guangyao said, because the main purpose of coming this time is to take a look at the site first, and then plan it. Only after the planning is completed can construction begin, instead of just starting construction casually.
"Let's go to Jinling Hotel in the city center! I'm going to Jinling Hotel to meet up with my friends now. Let's meet after dinner." Gu Ning said.
Although she didn't know much about architecture, since An Guangyao was here, she had to meet him.
In addition, their construction site is a place of controversy after all. Once construction begins, there will definitely be a lot of rumors. Although nothing will happen, if they are heard, it will affect the mood of the workers. Therefore, Gu Ning wants to remind An Guangyao to prepare a response method to avoid being in a hurry and affecting the construction.
"Okay." An Guangyao responded.
Ten minutes later, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived at Jinling Hotel. As soon as they reached the gate, they saw Xing Bei and Cao Wenxin holding hands and coming over. The flowers originally given to Cao Wenxin were now in Xing Bei's hands. Xing Bei was afraid that she would be tired, so he held them for her.
Gu Ning paused and looked at them with interest.
When Cao Wenxin saw Gu Ning, she immediately pulled her hand out of Xing Bei's hand, her cheeks flushed, but it was too late to pull it away now.
"Cousin, cousin-in-law." Gu Ning called out in a teasing tone.
Xing Bei was overjoyed to hear the name of cousin-in-law, but Cao Wenxin was extremely embarrassed. She retorted angrily, "What cousin-in-law? Why are you calling me that?"
