Just when Sun Juan was about to prepare a bowl of wontons in the kitchen, Jiang Yancheng's cell phone rang.
Although Gao Zihan didn't like Jiang Yancheng, she still had some basic courtesy. She knew that people shouldn't speak loudly when they were on the phone, so she reluctantly shut up and lowered her head to eat wontons. Since Song Xun liked wontons with three-fresh fillings, she followed Song Xun and ate the wontons with three-fresh fillings.
"Zhengyang Real Estate? Let me invest?" Jiang Yancheng's voice came.
Hearing that it was Jiang Yancheng's business matter, the other three people remained silent, thinking it had nothing to do with them.
Jiang Yancheng is such a high-level person.
Sun Juan had cooked all the coriander and was ready to put it in Gao Ziyin's bowl.
"Do I have a say in whether a place will be demolished if I invest in it? I heard that you are going to demolish my Oak Villa recently, and the area two or three streets in front and behind will be demolished. Is it true?" Jiang Yancheng asked again.
The other three people paused and wanted to listen carefully to what Jiang Yancheng said.
Recently, Sun Juan’s store also received a notice that it might be demolished.
As for why the company did such a wicked thing, they had no idea.
If this house belongs to her, she can get some compensation for the demolition and re-open the shop.
But now, she's renting this apartment, and the landlord is the only one who gets the relocation compensation. She has nothing left. She has to start all over again with the clientele she's built here for over a decade. And since this is the main store, how can relocation be that easy? Even more problematic than five months ago, they've recently added several more machines.
Last time, Gao Zhiyuan threatened her because of this, and now, she is facing demolition again.
"I invest? Of course I have the final say. However, as to whether to invest or not, I need to think about it again." After saying that, Jiang Yancheng hung up the phone.
After putting the phone on the table, Gao Ziyin looked at him hesitantly, as if she wanted to ask something of him.
The other two people, Song Xun and Gao Zihan, also became a head shorter in an instant.
After hearing what the front of house said, Sun Juan looked at the bowl of wontons on the tray, gritted her teeth, and thought: I can't be too cruel, I'll cook another bowl for him, and see if the store can continue to stock him. Now it seems that he is the only hope.
After all, she didn't know the real estate developer and had no idea how to find him. Moreover, she was just an ordinary citizen and had no reason to meet him. Although Ziyin had some connections, she had only been in France for five years and the people she knew in China were in the cosmetics industry, so she had little acquaintance with people in real estate.
After placing two bowls of wontons on the table, Gao Ziyin and Jiang Yancheng took out their spoons and chopsticks and began to eat.
The corners of Jiang Yancheng's lips seemed to rise slightly, just for a moment, and no one noticed.
Gao Zinyin stole a glance at Jiang Yancheng holding the coin, and saw that he was still sticking up his little finger, looking quite noble.
"Don't you want to eat? Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Yancheng sat opposite Gao Zinyin, without looking up at Gao Zinyin, and said slowly.
Sun Juan was somewhat unwilling when she brought out the wontons just now, but she really didn't want to say anything.
After all, she hated him so much that she couldn't speak now.
Sun Juan, who used to be fearless, now returned to the kitchen in a bad mood.
Before I even finished eating the wontons, a courier arrived and asked, "Miss Gao Ziyin, are you here?"
Gao Ziyin was quite puzzled. "I am."
Why did the courier deliver to Sun Juan’s wonton shop instead of her company or her apartment?
"This is your express delivery, please sign for it." said the delivery guy.
Gao Ziyin saw that it was a small package, sent by DHL international express, and should have come from France.
After signing, Gao Zinyin opened it. It turned out to be a very small box. When she opened it, she found a very beautiful diamond ring, which was very shiny.
Because Gao Zinyin was sitting next to Jiang Yancheng, the lid of the box blocked the ring, so Jiang Yancheng didn't see it.
He didn't seem to care at all, and just lowered his head to play with his phone.
But Gao Zihan, who was sitting over there, saw it. His eyes lit up instantly and he said, "Wow, Ziyin, that's great. Such a big diamond ring, must be a gift from Cheng Yan."
Gao Ziyin was just about to say a few perfunctory words, but she knew Gao Zihan was doing it on purpose to stab Jiang Yancheng, and the meaning was obvious: Ziyin would still have a place to go even without you, when her cell phone rang. She put her diamond ring on the table and stood up to answer the call.
Gao Zihan took the diamond ring box and played with the ring. "This is the first time I've seen such a big diamond ring. I'm a little jealous."
Song Xun is now learning to treat Gao Zihan with a peaceful attitude. His idea is: just treat Gao Zihan as his first love. First love usually doesn't succeed. He still has a crush on her. He can't just let his first love get married and then he won't marry in this life. He once warned himself that since he decided to be with Zihan, he will be with her wholeheartedly.
Gao Zinyin looked out the window. It was indeed almost autumn. It seemed like there were a few gusts of wind, and then it started to drizzle.
Cheng Yan's voice was very gentle, "Ziyin, have you received the ring?"
"I've collected it."
"I saw you signed for it, so I thought of giving you a call. I picked out the ring specially today, and I thought you'd take a look at it. I don't know if you like it or not. Just wear it for fun, there will be better ones in the future." Cheng Yan said.
"Well, thank you, I like it." Gao Zinyin said.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier. Through the glass, she seemed to see Jiang Yancheng stand up and was about to leave. Gao Ziyin said, "I'm eating wontons at my mother's store. I'll eat first. It's getting cold."
Cheng Yan laughed, "I know, I just work in your mother's shop, I know where you are now."
"Um."
When Gao Zinyin hung up the phone, she thought for a moment, why did Cheng Yan send the ring to her mother?
Maybe he wanted to make his attitude towards Gao Ziyin clear in front of his mother, which was the same as him paying for his mother and sister to go on a trip.
In fact, Gao Ziyin thinks, what kind of feelings can there be between a son-in-law and his mother-in-law? As long as there is a heart, it's enough.
Having a heart means respect, just like Jiang Yancheng, who is arrogant and overconfident, no wonder his mother doesn't like him.
Seeing Jiang Yancheng had already walked out of the door, Gao Ziyin took an umbrella from the store. The store had umbrellas specially provided for customers, so she put it aside, but the owner had to unlock it before she could open it.
Gao Ziyin took two steps at a time and ran out of the store, calling out, "Jiang Yancheng."
Jiang Yancheng was talking on the phone in the gentle rain. Gao Ziyin seemed to hear him say, "Come pick me up, in front of Gao's Wonton Shop."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yancheng asked.
"It's raining, here's an umbrella for you." Gao Zinyin put her hands on her waist. She had only chased him for a few steps but she was already panting like this, which showed how fast his pace was.
Gao Ziyin was reluctant to hand over the umbrella.
Jiang Yancheng looked at her, "What do you want to say?"
Gao Ziyin thought for a moment and said, "My mom's wonton shop has been here for over a decade. All the customers come here, and this is the main store. If you can help, please do so. I don't even know this guy from Landmark."
Jiang Yancheng looked at her playfully, "Is this the reason you chased me out?"
Gao Ziyin hurriedly retorted, "No, I saw it was going to rain, so I brought you an umbrella."
Jiang Yancheng looked down at the umbrella. It was a black umbrella, closed, with words written on it. Without opening it, Jiang Yancheng knew what was written on it: Gao's Wontons.
He said, "My driver is coming, no need. Go back."
Gao Ziyin stood there, feeling a little awkward. "You'll need an umbrella when you get off the bus."
"No need." Jiang Yancheng had just finished speaking when the driver came, driving a very luxurious Bentley.
After getting in the car, Jiang Yancheng walked away without even turning his head. Jiang Yancheng looked in the rearview mirror and saw Gao Zinyin standing there with an umbrella in her hand, her head lowered. Her expression was still the same as five days ago, quite depressed. The umbrella was a long-handled gentleman's umbrella, and the umbrella head was stuck on the ground by Gao Zinyin. She held the umbrella handle in her hand, and she didn't hold the umbrella herself, just standing there.
Gao Ziyin stood there for five minutes. As the rain got heavier, he returned to the store.
Gao Zihan was saying in the restaurant, "Eating a bowl of wontons and leaving a hundred yuan, what kind of person is that? Just being rich is a big deal!"
It was the hundred yuan that Jiang Yancheng had just left behind.
Gao Zinyin felt extremely embarrassed. She brought him here, and her sister and mother reacted like this.
Gao Zinyin also knew that if it weren't for the phone call Jiang Yancheng just made, his mother might not even cook a bowl of wontons for him.
Gao Ziyin was suspicious again. Why did he call at such a good time? Did he not give his mother a chance to embarrass him?
Jiang Yancheng stayed at Oak Villa tonight. He hadn't been here for a few days, so he slept here today.
The next day, the CEO of Zhengyang Land called Jiang Yancheng and wanted to buy land to build the most upscale shopping mall in Fengcheng. The most upscale shopping mall used to be next to Jiang’s Shopping Mall, but now the company has changed.
The boss naturally wanted Jiang Yancheng to invest in this highly profitable business.
"Mr. Jiang, you said yesterday which lands would be demolished. You have the final say. Tell me, which lands do you want to demolish?" asked the boss.
"I have a house in Oak Villa, you can't demolish it. If a shopping mall is built in the future, the price of my house will naturally increase as well." Jiang Yancheng said with a dazed look while smoking a cigarette.
"Why do you have to keep it?" asked the boss.
"Keep it as a thought."
"How much is Mr. Jiang planning to invest?" the boss asked again.
"Three billion."
"Boss Jiang is really a straightforward person. Now, it's settled. Oak Villa will not be demolished. Do you have any other requirements for other places?" the boss asked again.
“No more.”
The demolition strategy was decided, and within a few days, the word "demolition" was written on the door of Gao's Wonton.
Sun Juan was so angry that her blood pressure soared and she had no intention of doing business. She kept calling Jiang Yancheng "bastard".
A few days ago, the list of joint developers was released, and Yancheng Group's name was prominently listed.
Sun Juan then knew that Jiang Yancheng's call that day was not a fake call, but a real one.
And it was true that he didn't care about the Gao family's feelings.
Gao Zihan also cursed, "He only kept his own house and demolished everyone else's! Is he even a human being?"
Gao Ziyin felt even more embarrassed!
