Chapter 270 Cooperation
"Military training is military training. There's no need for me to fold my quilt into a tofu block when I'm staying in a hotel." Su Jiaojiao stood in front of the window, facing him. "Did you run into Li Nuo?"
The single room is small and can only accommodate a bed and a chair.
He sat on a chair and she had nowhere to go but to stand in front of the bed, with a bed between them.
"Yes." Lu Jingyou nodded in acknowledgment, looking at her with a half-smile. "I've been in touch with her. She called me and told me you were living here. None of this matters. What's important is that I need your help with something."
"What's the matter?" Su Jiaojiao looked at him puzzledly, and her eyes met his. She looked away and lowered her head to look at her toes.
It's getting late.
The orange sunset glows on the window, and the whole room is immersed in orange, charming, lingering, and a little ambiguous.
"Let's go out for dinner first and talk while we eat." Lu Jingyou stood up and put his hands in his pockets. "I remember you wanted to treat me to a meal."
"Okay, let's go!" Su Jiaojiao combed her hair, took her bag and went out with him. It was early September and the weather was much cooler. It was evening again and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.
"Where are we going to eat?" Lu Jingyou stopped and asked her.
"It's up to you." Su Jiaojiao was not familiar with this area. She had been eating downstairs in the hotel these days. He didn't like spicy hot pot and hot and sour noodles, so she didn't know where to go.
Lu Jingyou led her into the alley.
The two of them turned around and around, and passed several forks in the road, before they entered a courtyard with red lanterns hanging on it.
The yard is full of colorful flowers and green willows, with winding paths leading to secluded places. Several slender green loofahs hang on the vines against the wall. Faintly, someone is singing opera on the other side of the wall, and the singing is full of charm, long and distant.
Su Jiaojiao had been to this kind of restaurant before and was not surprised. She followed him through an arched door and into the main courtyard. The food in this kind of private restaurant was delicious, but reservations were usually required.
Lu Jingyou took her directly into a private room. The window of the room faced the stage. The show had already begun. The actors spoke in clear voices and every move showed their kung fu.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Jingyou's phone kept ringing. Su Jiaojiao took the menu, ordered four dishes, and put the menu in front of him. Lu Jingyou took a look at the menu and didn't order anything else.
By the time he finished the call, the dishes had already been served.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry when I came here and didn't tell them." Lu Jingyou turned his phone to silent mode. Su Jiaojiao didn't care. "It's okay, work is more important."
Adults should focus on their work.
Eating, entertainment and so on are all used to spice up life.
The dishes ordered by Su Jiaojiao were all light and suited her taste. She usually ate little at night and was not hungry now.
Besides, although these dishes are light, they taste very good.
After the dishes were served, the waiter brought another plate of grilled skewers, saying it was a free gift, and the skewers were sprinkled with red chili powder.
"I can't eat this, it's all yours." Lu Jingyou pushed it in front of her, "Try it quickly, it's not always available."
The chili powder is the coarsely ground kind, which is fragrant but not spicy.
The taste is very good.
After dinner, Lu Jingyou drank tea and listened to opera in a leisurely manner, but Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but said, "Didn't you say you needed my help with something?"
"You know, the current market conditions make it the perfect time to buy a house or land." Lu Jingyou picked up the teapot and poured her some tea. "I hope we can work together to seize this opportunity and acquire that piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing."
Su Jiaojiao knew about the land outside Beijing.
Lu Jingyou had long had his eyes on that piece of land. He had visited it many times and said it had great investment potential. However, because it was located in the far suburbs and was covered with barren mountains and wasteland, Mr. Lu and the shareholders of Jiahe Group did not agree to invest.
A few years later, the real estate industry flourished and the surrounding land prices also rose. After several twists and turns, this piece of land finally fell into the hands of Jiahe Group, but the price had already increased more than ten times.
"Cooperate with me?" Su Jiaojiao was a little surprised.
She had no household registration in the capital and no money.
What's his purpose in cooperating with her?
"Yes, you register a new company, and then we'll buy the land in the name of the new company." Lu Jingyou calmly took a sip of tea. "You don't have to worry about the funds, and you don't have to worry about anything else. In six months, the company under my name will come forward to acquire the land and handle the planning and construction."
"In other words, I'll buy it and then sell it to you." Su Jiaojiao understood what he meant.
If he came forward to purchase this land, it would inevitably attract attention. First, the price would fluctuate, and second, he did not want the people of Jiahe Group to know about it and cause unnecessary trouble.
And she, an unknown small company, bought a piece of barren mountain and wasteland in the suburbs, and no one would pay attention.
In a few years, the imperial capital developed rapidly towards the outer ring.
The suburbs of Beijing will also become prosperous areas.
"That's right. If you come forward, it will save a lot of trouble. Only you will understand why I do this." Lu Jingyou leaned forward and said seriously, "Mr. Su, this is business. As a reward, you can choose any piece of land you like. I will keep it for you and sell it to you at the current price. This cooperation is a win-win for both of us. I think you should agree."
He believes in Su Jiaojiao's character.
Even if there are any changes in the future, it will be my own fault and has nothing to do with others.
"Okay, I promise you." Su Jiaojiao believed in Lu Jingyou and said straightforwardly, "When I don't have classes, I'll go discuss the land. We'll contact each other then."
Lu Jingyou helped her so much.
She was determined to do what was right for him.
"Don't worry, I've asked Wang Hua to find out. He'll help you with whatever you need to do." Lu Jingyou knew that Su Jiaojiao would only be proactive in matters like this. He also knew that she agreed to this because she didn't want to owe him too many favors. He took a sip of tea and pointed to the stage outside the window. "Let's listen to an opera before we go. My grandma loves opera, and I've heard this play since I was a child."
Su Jiaojiao said "oh" and looked at the stage quietly, not understanding a word. She went to the bathroom to pay the bill, but was told that it had already been paid.
When we came out of the alley, it was already completely dark.
The streets are bustling with red lights and green shadows.
The song in the roadside music store is lingering and moving: ...stay half sober, stay half drunk, at least you follow me in my dreams, I bet my youth on tomorrow, you exchange your true love for this life, time knows how much sorrow the world has, why not live a carefree life..."
The two walked in the bustling crowd and chatted for a while about reporting in tomorrow. He sent her back to the hotel before driving away.
In the car across the street, Lin Manli couldn't believe her eyes. Her son, such a cold-hearted man, was shopping with a girl, chatting and laughing... The anonymous letter was actually real.
