Chapter 82: A Narrow Escape (First Update)...
Jiang Mingyue added, "At first glance, it seems to mitigate the impact of the water erosion, but it's only a temporary solution. Besides, there's a cemetery to the southwest. Looking up from above, the two bridges to the north and south, enclosed by the water, look like a character."
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was a slanted "prisoner" character.
Biyue Garden is located below the character "人" and is adjacent to a cemetery, trapped in a lonely city, facing a life-or-death situation.
The room fell silent once more, and an awkward and somber atmosphere was etched on everyone's faces.
The severity and thorniness of the matter clearly exceeded everyone's expectations. It involved feng shui harming people, and it was no longer something that those present could handle.
However, no one dared to suggest leaving; they all turned their attention to Yan Qian, who was in the lead.
With President Yan of Jinghua Group in charge, it's not their place to make the decisions.
When Ren Kai's feng shui layout of Biyue Garden was exposed in public, he almost fell into despair. He wanted to kill Miss Jiang, who had inexplicably caused the trouble, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Relying on Yan Qian's support, this girl ruthlessly tore apart Biyue Architecture's facade, leaving no room for compromise.
Those who cut off people's source of income must never be allowed to live.
Jiang Mingyue glanced at Ren Kai, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent, but she was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she smiled at Ren Kai.
"Mr. Ren, since I can see this feng shui arrangement, do you think I can break it?"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. This Miss Jiang was truly unexpected; she was a formidable person, openly playing her cards right in the open.
She exposed the feng shui layout of Biyue Mansion, ruining the business deal between Biyue Construction and Jinghua Group. Now she claims she can fix it, clearly trying to profit from both sides.
Ha, they're pretty good at playing the double agent game.
Ren Kai is now in a dilemma. If he asks Jiang Mingyue directly how to break the deadlock, it would be tantamount to admitting what his second uncle did. If he doesn't ask, the matter will remain deadlocked.
Damn it, he didn't check the almanac before leaving home today. He thought meeting Yan Qian would be a great thing, but who knew that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
In the tense silence, Yan Qian spoke up, breaking the eerie stillness, "President Ren, if you can handle this matter well and salvage the reputation of Biyue Garden as much as possible, Jinghua Group will sign a contract with Biyue Construction."
Yan Qian was always a man of his word; his verbal promises were more effective than written agreements.
The mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then a village appeared amidst the willows and flowers!
Ren Kai's eyes widened in surprise, then lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for your strong support, President Yan. I'll find someone to handle this matter right away!"
Yan Qian stood up and said, "There's no rush. I'll be staying in Huai County this week. Just contact my assistant if you need anything."
Jiang Mingyue left with Yan Qian.
Ren Kai personally escorted Jinghua and his entourage to the entrance of the residential compound.
Jiang Mingyue handed her car to Yan Qian's assistant, and then got into Yan Qian's business car.
After the people from Jinghua and the Housing and Construction Bureau left, Ren Kai's secretary asked, "Boss, why don't we just ask Miss Jiang for help?"
Ren Kai's smile vanished, and he glared at his secretary. "What do you know! How do you know Miss Jiang isn't in cahoots with Yan Qian? Of course I have to find other geomancers to verify this!"
His second uncle harmed people for the sake of his son who became a vegetable. He was not involved in this matter. He just wanted to get rid of Biyue Mansion as soon as possible so that he could make his presence known to his grandfather and get more family dividends.
The secretary quickly flattered, "Boss, you're so wise! I just noted down Miss Jiang's license plate number. Should we have someone check her information?"
When asked about the mysteriously appearing Miss Jiang, Ren Kai pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "We can't investigate her, and we can't touch her. Yan Qian is in Huai County for a week. With him there, any disturbance will alert him."
"After that?"
"We'll talk about it in a week. First, find someone to sell Biyue Mansion for me."
On the way to Huai County International Hotel, Yan Qian had no interest in appreciating the scenery along the way. He turned to Jiang Mingyue and asked, "Should we send two bodyguards for Miss Jiang?"
Dealing with smart people is so much easier. Yan Qian could also tell that Ren Kai was not a good person. Jiang Mingyue exposed the Ren family's scandal in public at the meeting, and Ren Kai would definitely not let it go.
Jiang Mingyue waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary, "The feng shui arrangement of the Ren family is not something that just anyone can break. Whether you believe it or not, President Yan, it won't be long before Ren Kai comes to you for help."
"I believe it. The feng shui master who dares to set up a feng shui arrangement for the Ren family must be someone of great importance. Only a feng shui master of the same level would easily get involved."
According to Yan Qian's prediction, the feng shui masters in the Beijing area will not get involved. However, there are many talented people in China, but it will take time to find these unconventional talents.
Yan Qian had complete faith in Jiang Mingyue's judgment, and the gift she gave him in return far exceeded the value of the thousand-yuan New Year's red envelope he had given her.
At the entrance of Huai County International Hotel.
Yan Qian invited Jiang Mingyue to stay for dinner, but Jiang Mingyue declined.
Yan Qian didn't stand on ceremony and invited him further. There would be plenty of time in the future, and once the film and television city project was finalized, he would frequently travel to Huai County on business.
"Thank you for your help today, Miss Jiang. I owe you another favor."
"Even if I don't say anything, I believe President Yan will have someone investigate. I'm just opening a crack."
"I also want to thank Miss Jiang for saving me the trouble of conducting the investigation."
"No need for thanks, Mr. Yan will be of use to us."
Jiang Mingyue took the car keys from her assistant, waved to Yan Qian, and left without looking back.
Yan Qian watched her get into her white car. The young girl was flexible and resourceful, possessing extraordinary abilities that others could only envy, and she was willing to live in seclusion in Dahuai Village.
Perhaps it was because of her great abilities that she had very little need for material things.
Upon returning to the business suite on the top floor of the hotel, the assistant asked Yan Qian, "Mr. Yan, should we send someone over to Dahuai Village?"
Yan Qian took off his coat and sat down on the sofa. "If Ren Kai doesn't even have this much discernment, he's not worthy of cooperating with me."
The assistant made Yan Qian a cup of tea. "Mr. Yan, there's something I don't understand. Why didn't Miss Jiang tell you privately that Biyue Mansion had been set up with a feng shui arrangement?"
“Jinghua certainly won’t sign a contract with Ren Kai on their first meeting. Today’s matter can be resolved privately. Miss Jiang, aren’t you just making her resentful by doing this?”
Xishan white tea floated in the glass, the tea leaves green and translucent, just like Jiang Mingyue herself, who was strong enough to confront and expose these unsavory things.
Yan Qian patiently explained to his assistant, "That's just Miss Jiang's personality. She hates evil and acts with integrity, and she disdains these roundabout ways."
"Since she dared to expose him to his face, firstly, she was not afraid of being resented by Ren Kai and was certain that Ren Kai would need her help; secondly, she was doing a favor for the people of Huai County by selling out Jinghua Group."
After Yan Qian pointed it out, the assistant immediately understood that Jinghua Group was going to invest in a project in Huai County, which would boost local employment and benefit everyone in Huai County, including Jiang Mingyue's uncle's family.
The assistant praised Jiang Mingyue for her strong sense of justice and broad vision, which was unmatched by ordinary people.
Jiang Mingyue has long since retired from the entertainment industry, but her fans still care about her. Just because a fan wrote to her for help, she made a trip to Bishui Haoyuan, and both Jiang's fans and she went there together.
Yan Qian picked up the glass, took a sip of fragrant tea, and lowered his eyelashes, concealing everything.
Two days later, the landlord of Jinghua Capital returned from out of town. Jiang Mingyue called Sun Aijun and Sun Aimin, and under the pretext of going to the hardware and accessories market in the county to buy materials for decoration, she actually took them directly to the real estate transaction center.
By the time the two Sun brothers realized that Jiang Mingyue was going to buy them a house, it was too late; Jiang Mingyue had already paid the money.
Sun Aijun declined, saying, "Cousin! Your cousin can buy a house on his own. Now that you've retired from the entertainment industry, keep some savings for yourself. Don't be silly and buy it all for us. If you do that, when I go to see Dad after I die, he'll scold me to death!"
Sun Aimin nodded vigorously, "Cousin, I'll listen to my older brother."
The two brothers were about to start chattering on and on when Jiang Mingyue froze them with a single look.
"Cousins, if you two don't listen to me, I'll call Auntie right now and cry!"
The two Sun brothers: "..."
More than an hour later, Sun Aijun and Sun Aimin each held their property ownership certificates for Jinghua Shoufu, leaving the real estate transaction center with a mixture of trepidation and excitement.
They came to the county town to buy hardware accessories, so how did it turn into them buying a house?
The two brothers experienced the feeling of being rich for the first time, feeling happy, excited, nervous, and mostly dreaming about the future.
They must repay Yueyue's kindness and take good care of her.
"Shall I take you to see the capital city of Beijing?"
"No need, we've done renovations at Jinghua Capital before, and the apartment layouts there are quite good."
Buying a house is a big deal, so the two brothers decided not to go to the hardware store first, but to go directly to buy good wine and food, and cook a nice meal for Jiang Mingyue when they got home.
As for moving, they asked Jiang Mingyue to decide. Jiang Mingyue consulted the almanac and chose the third day of the third lunar month, which was considered auspicious for all things.
Back in Dahuai Village, the two brothers remained calm and continued working. Only after dinner and seeing off Cao Hualan's two nephews did they take out the property certificate to show Cao Hualan.
Cao Hualan looked confused. When she opened the notebook and saw the name on the property certificate, she immediately looked at Jiang Mingyue.
"Yueyue, you bought a house for them!"
Jiang Mingyue nodded with a smile, "Yes, my cousin and my younger cousin will each have a set. My younger cousin can move in when she starts her second year of high school. It's only a ten-minute bike ride from Huai County No. 1 High School. Aunt, you'll have to go over and help with cooking then."
Cao Hualan was caught off guard by this unexpected surprise; it was definitely a surprise, it had to be a surprise.
Without saying a word, she put down the property certificate and went back to her room to find her things.
Jiang Mingyue followed her in, and sure enough, Cao Hualan pulled out her savings book and stuffed all 120,000 yuan that she had painstakingly saved through frugality into Jiang Mingyue's hands.
Before Jiang Mingyue could refuse, Cao Hualan said harshly, "Yueyue, I know this is definitely not enough to cover the cost of these two houses, but it can help you out a little. If you don't accept it, I won't move in."
Since Cao Hualan had already said so much, Jiang Mingyue naturally dared not go against her wishes and accepted it with a smile.
"Alright, alright, Auntie, I won't give this money to anyone, I'll keep it for myself."
Cao Hualan finally couldn't hold back her tears, weeping with joy, "Your uncle is unlucky and couldn't enjoy the blessings you have."
Jiang Mingyue comforted Cao Hualan for a few moments, and Cao Hualan wiped away her tears. "You ate too little for dinner. Come on, your aunt will make you another bowl of noodles with a poached egg."
