In this ancient city, nothing can be kept from the Xiang family.
As for Shen Shixun, he had no background in the ancient city. If he wanted to stay by Xiang Nanzhi's side, he could only follow the Xiang family's arrangements.
He lost his freedom, but Xiang Nanzhi treated him well and obeyed his every word. Ever since the kidnapping incident, he has been as obedient as a cat.
After staying in the hospital for a few days, Xiang Nanzhi couldn't take it anymore and insisted on going home. The doctor told her to continue observing, so Xiang Nanzhi made a phone call to Xiang Jingyi. Xiang Jingyi then sent a doctor to the Xiang family home to take care of Xiang Nanzhi throughout her pregnancy.
Xiang Ciyuan had been out fooling around all night, and there was still a bit of a woman's lipstick on his shirt collar.
Everything was packed, and Xiang Jingyi and Xiang Zhengyi arrived. Shen Shixun helped carry some things, and Lao Ma quickly said, "Xiaorong, help your son-in-law carry these."
Ma Xiaorong took it over, but Shen Shixun took it back, saying, "No need, she's a young lady and can't carry it."
Xiang Nanzhi glanced at Shen Shixun, and Ma Xiaorong immediately felt a little awkward. "Let me do it, son-in-law."
If she hadn't been carrying this bag today, she probably would have been killed by Xiang Nanzhi's murderous gaze.
Where is Second Brother?
"The second young master was just here."
"Secondary source..."
"Second Young Master..."
Xiang Ciyuan was washing the lipstick stain off his shirt in the bathroom. He didn't know what brand of lipstick the woman he slept with last night had worn, but he couldn't get it off no matter what he tried.
This is even more stubborn than paint...
"Second Brother!"
Xiang Ciyuan had no choice but to stop washing and put on his coat. "Here I am..."
Xiang Ciyuan stayed up late last night and was feeling sleepy. Afraid of being scolded by Xiang Zhengyi and Xiang Jing, he deliberately sat with Xiang Nanzhi.
Xiang Nanzhi rode in Shen Shixun's car, which separated them.
Inside the car, he yawned repeatedly, and Xiang Nanzhi kept glancing at him. "Second brother, what's wrong? Did you go thieving last night?"
Xiang Ciyuan didn't speak, glanced at the blinding sunlight outside, then looked ahead, "You only just got here?"
"It's the weekend today, so the traffic is a bit congested."
Traffic in the ancient city is like this, often congested, especially recently with the summer peak season.
The ancient city is called an ancient city because it was the center of the country long ago, serving as the capital of many dynasties, and thus leaving behind countless cultural heritages.
Many people from all over the country love to come to the ancient city to see these historical sites, to witness the rise and fall of a dynasty, and to learn about the national culture.
Xiang Nanzhi wasn't interested in any of that; she was simply deeply moved by the enthusiasm of the people of H country. At times like these, her car would always be stuck in traffic.
"I don't understand what's so interesting about the bottles and jars dug out of these tombs."
Xiang Nanzhi also felt there was nothing to see, but people who had never seen it before wanted to come and see the long-lost history and culture.
Xiang Ciyuan kicked Shen Shixun's seat, and Xiang Nanzhi glanced at him sharply.
"Tsk, so you're already protecting her?"
"how?"
"I heard Dad wants you to go to the mine?"
"Um."
"Do a good job. If anyone causes you trouble, call me anytime."
Xiang Nanzhi felt a little better, and then inadvertently caught a glimpse of red on Xiang Ciyuan's shirt. It was now unrecognizable, just a striking red stain. "Second Brother, this..."
Xiang Ciyuan quickly wrapped himself up tighter with his coat. "Stop fooling around, I'm going to sleep."
Xiang Nanzhi, who was bored, perked up and said, "Say something! What's this? Whose blush or lipstick?"
"There's something wrong with your eyes."
"My eyes are fine. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Xiang Ciyuan remained silent, while Shen Shixun cleared his throat.
They were both on the same project, so he knew how Xiang Ciyuan and Zhang Yandong spent their time outside. It would be strange if they could find girlfriends in places like that.
——
When they arrived, the housekeeper had prepared a table full of dishes. Everyone ate a little and went about their business. When Jiang Yao sent the message, Xiang Nanzhi had just gotten into bed.
"Zhenggang Real Estate's properties have begun pre-sales."
Xiang Nanzhi: ?
That's too fast.
Moreover, despite its prime location in the center of the lake, the pre-sale price of that property is lower than that of ordinary properties in the surrounding area.
On the day of the pre-sale, many people bought the central lake area, but not many people bought it afterward.
Other developers weren't going to take this lying down. Seeing that he was selling so low while their own properties at the original price weren't selling, they started all sorts of hype, saying that Zhenggang Real Estate was a new real estate company that was in a hurry to recoup its losses and was eager to sell off its properties. They claimed that if people didn't buy in the short term, prices would continue to fall.
Zhenggang Real Estate is just a small sole proprietorship, not listed on the stock exchange, and doesn't have a large financial chain behind it...
This outcome was completely unexpected for Xiang Zhenggang, who immediately blamed Xiang Zhengyi.
It must be revenge against him for the sake of justice!
I called and went to the Xiang family group to arrange a meeting, but Xiang Zhengyi didn't show up at all.
The incident involving Xiang Nanzhi completely crossed the line into upholding justice.
The plot of land in the center of the lake quickly became a controversial real estate development in the ancient city. Prices were unstable, rising one day and falling the next. People who wanted to buy were afraid to do so, fearing that they had bought at too high a price and that the price would drop again.
Xiang Zhenggang has ruined a perfectly good real estate development. He's so eager to recoup his losses that his behavior has become quite unseemly.
When they had sold about a third of the stock, they checked the accounts with the finance department and found that the profit was far from what they had initially planned.
Feeling lost and confused, Wei Xia laid out the list, also feeling bewildered.
"You've already signed the contract with Master Zhou. If this money isn't recovered quickly, then we..."
Xiang Zhenggang realized that he had moved too fast. With debt looming, he was struggling to find the time to develop mining operations.
"Dad, where are you going?"
"I'm going to take care of something."
Wei Xia saw through his intention. "If you breach the contract, we will need to pay a penalty."
"That's better than getting deeper and deeper into trouble."
"Dad, we need to develop in the ancient city too. If we don't run the mine, what will we do?"
Xiang Yunduan stopped Xiang Zhenggang, "We're not going to do mining anymore, and we've already messed up the real estate business, what else can we do? Dad..."
Wei Xia rubbed her temples and sat down. "We're taking too big a step right now, and we're completely short of funds... If your uncle is willing to help, there might still be hope."
They knew perfectly well that it was impossible to find Xiang Zhengyi, and Xiang Zhenggang was unwilling to bow down to Xiang Zhengyi again.
“I’ll go ask Song Ze. He knows the difficulties we’re facing right now, and he also knows we have ideas about the mine. Maybe he can help me.”
Xiang Yunduan arrived at the Song family immediately, but did not see Song Ze; he only saw Song Duocai.
"You've arrived in the cloud, have a seat."
"Uncle Song, where is Song Zeren? I called him but he didn't answer."
"They must be busy with a project."
Which project?
"I don't know about that."
Song Ze called Yun Duan, but still didn't answer.
"Uncle, could you call Song Ze? He didn't answer my call."
Song Duocai laughed and said, "That means they're busy. If they don't pick you up, they might not pick me up either."
"Give it a try, I really have something very important to discuss with him."
