Chen Muyun was driving to the bus station when he hung up the phone, his face becoming even darker. Soon he arrived at the station, parked his car, and found Ruan Qingling.
She was standing in a corner of the station, carrying a suitcase. Her hair was messy and her body was covered in dust. There were several blood marks on one of her fair calves and her ankle was a little bruised.
Such a young, beautiful girl with a great figure, standing in the messy station, attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Muyun ran over, took the box, put his arm around her waist, and asked unhappily, "What's going on?"
Ruan Qingling looked up at him, her eyes full of tears. Her palm-sized face looked like a petal covered with dew. Her first words were, "I thought you wouldn't come..."
Chen Muyun's originally irritable heart softened a little, and his tone was also milder: "You cried so hard on the phone, and you are in Huaicheng, how can I just ignore it?"
Ruan Qingling curled her lips and buried her face in his chest, crying, "I was hit by an electric bike. The man looked at me obscenely, hit me and ran away. Wuuuuu... It was so bad. I'm so scared, brother."
Chen Muyun frowned and looked around. There seemed to be no surveillance in this corner. He was too lazy to investigate. He patted her on the back and coaxed her, "Okay, there are so many people coming and going here. I will find a way to ask someone to see if I can catch this guy. Now I will take you to find a clinic to get medicine."
Ruan Qingqing leaned into his arms and nodded: "But what if we miss the bus? The last bus has already left."
"Do you have classes tomorrow morning?"
"No."
"Then come back with me and take the bus tomorrow morning."
——
Ruan Qingqing really didn't want to have anything to do with Luo Pingjiang anymore. She would get irritated the moment she was involved.
But she knew that what Chen Muyun said made sense, and Luo Pingjiang was a more suitable candidate than him. And now, she has no other choice.
After a brief silence, she raised her face and smiled: "I'm really sorry to bother you."
Luo Pingjiang's expression was relaxed and calm: "It's a small matter."
The two walked into the courtyard, and he asked, "Do you have the other party's information and contract terms? I'll take a look first."
Ruan Qingqing smiled bitterly: "No."
"That's fine, let's just play it by ear. Do you have a bottom price in mind?"
Ruan Qingqing shook her head: "I don't know anything about the prices here. Besides, it's not just a matter of selling houses. Although our nursing home is privately run and self-financing, it is still a semi-welfare institution..."
He said, “I know that.”
Ruan Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and continued, "So I also have to consider the future of these children, as well as those employees who have been with the center for many years. I think both parties should negotiate together to find a proper way out for them, at least not worse than what they have now. But I haven't figured out what form and method to use."
Luo Pingjiang glanced at her, as if he was listening carefully, and also as if he was observing her deeply. Ruan Qingqing avoided his gaze.
"I understand. It's easy." He said, "Since you haven't thought it through, let them think about it. They are local real estate developers and they must have more connections than you do. Ask them to include this follow-up resettlement plan in the contract.
Now they are the ones who are coming to buy your house, not you who are the ones who are trying to sell it.
The real estate prices in this area have been getting hotter recently. As long as you can remain patient, you can take the initiative.
The pen is in your hand, and you have half of the ownership. As long as you don't sign, no one can sell this place.
However, we are still unclear about what kind of person the other party is, so we must first talk to him openly and frankly with solid evidence, with an attitude of problem-solving and win-win, to see if we can come to a good result. ”
Ruan Qingqing felt suddenly enlightened. After he said that, it seemed like it was really not a big deal anymore and the initiative was still in her hands.
After all, she had just graduated and this was not a field she was familiar with. She had even less knowledge of the market conditions in Huaicheng. In addition, she was a little emotional because of her uncle's anger. Now that she had calmed down, she had a better idea of what was going on.
Especially Luo Pingjiang's righteous attitude of directly throwing the problem to the other party made Ruan Qingqing want to laugh.
She thought that at heart he was still the same soldier he was back then, but as soon as the thought came to her mind, she immediately stopped it.
Ruan Qingqing: "I understand. Thank you."
He said, "Don't keep saying thank you."
As soon as they reached the corridor, Zheng Tao's office door opened. He still had a smile on his face. Just as he was about to talk to Ruan Qingqing, he saw Luo Pingjiang standing beside him.
Ruan Qingqing said: "Uncle, this is... my friend Luo Pingjiang. We are discussing the contract today, and I asked him to come over and give me some advice."
Luo Pingjiang: "Hello."
Zheng Tao: "Hello. Qingqing, come here for a moment."
Ruan Qingqing followed Zheng Tao to the side, and Zheng Tao looked at her unhappily: "We are discussing a contract, which is very important and confidential. It's inappropriate for you to invite an outsider to come over, right?"
"It's appropriate. I trust him."
Zheng Tao felt choked, but he couldn't force the man to leave, so he asked, "What does he do? Why do you trust him so much?"
"He's in business, and he's doing very well. Also, he's Chen Muyun's cousin."
Zheng Tao stopped talking then, after all, he was one of them.
Zheng Tao looked at Luo Pingjiang, forced a smile, and said to the two of them, "Okay, Xiao Luo, Qingqing, Mr. Liu and the others are here, let's go in."
Then he whispered to Qingqing, "Don't talk nonsense later. Don't agree to any conditions or propose new conditions. I know the situation better. I will talk to them."
Ruan Qingqing said nothing.
The three of them entered the room. The office was not big, and there were already three people sitting on the sofa, a middle-aged man, a young man and a young woman.
Zheng Tao smiled and said, "Boss Liu, Manager Dai, Manager Liu, my niece is here, we can start looking at the contract. Qingqing, call someone. This is Qingqing's friend, Xiao Luo, who is here with her."
Ruan Qingqing did not greet them one by one respectfully as Zheng Tao hoped. Instead, she walked over calmly and extended her hand to the three people: "Hello, I'm Ruan Qingqing, the co-owner of the care center."
Mr. Liu, who was sitting in the middle, smiled, did not stand up, but stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ruan Qingqing. Manager Dai and Manager Liu next to her stood up and shook hands with her with a smile.
At this time, Mr. Liu saw Luo Pingjiang and was a little surprised. He stood up and said, "Are you... Boss Luo?"
Luo Pingjiang looked at him, thought for a moment, and seemed to remember who this person was. He said, "Are you Manager Liu from Kaihua?"
The man who was suddenly demoted from General Manager Liu to Manager Liu didn't seem to care about his title and said with a smile, "Yes, last time I accompanied our General Manager Xie to have dinner at your place. Speaking of which, your restaurant is really hard to locate, but when General Manager Xie wants to entertain some important guests in Huaicheng, he likes to go to your place, haha!"
Luo Pingjiang also smiled: "When Lao Xie comes over, I always reserve the best seats for him. I also found the wine he wanted last time, but I haven't opened it yet. I'll wait for him to come and try it next time."
Manager Liu smiled and said, "That's right, Boss Luo is a close friend of our Boss Xie."
Zheng Tao on the side was surprised. He didn't expect that Luo Pingjiang had a good relationship with the other party's boss. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Ruan Qingqing hadn't expected that Luo Pingjiang had such a social side, but on second thought, she felt that since he ran a bustling restaurant, he would be able to do so.
Manager Liu and Zheng Tao glanced at each other quickly, then smiled and said, "Boss Luo, what brings you here today?"
Luo Pingjiang said succinctly: "Qingqing is my friend."
Manager Liu laughed: "That's really a coincidence. We are all friends, so everything can be settled easily."
Luo Pingjiang: “That’s right.”
The six people sat down.
Luo Pingjiang sat next to Ruan Qingqing and leaned slightly towards her. Ruan Qingqing didn't know why, but she understood what he meant and leaned over to listen to him speak in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Kaihua is a company in Xiangcheng. It mainly deals in commercial real estate, foreign trade, and real estate agency. It's quite powerful. He is a department head of the Huaicheng branch. I don't know him well."
Ruan Qingqing: "Oh."
After a few seconds of silence, they both turned their heads away at the same time, keeping a normal distance.
