Chapter 138 Intentionally Making Things Difficult
Shen Jiheng was a businessman who made money through business. Since the land was useless to him, he simply sold it.
Qin Chuan discovered that his boss was playing a game this time, and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
"Understood, I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow morning."
Shen Jiheng yawned. He hadn't exercised in a long time, and his body seemed to be not as good as before. He wondered if he had satisfied her.
Han Xi was sitting in the backyard of the Gu family, watching the two children play, her thoughts wandering far away.
She didn't know how her relationship with Shen Jiheng had suddenly developed into this; she should have refused him back then.
The incident still happened. Will he think that he really did it to help Bo Siye?
It's so frustrating, my mind is filled with all this nonsense right now.
Zhuo Qingqian came out of the house and saw her in a daze. She secretly slipped behind her and whispered in her ear, "Xi Xi, what are you thinking about?"
Han Xi was startled and stood up, unable to resist slapping her arm.
"You're really scary, girl."
"I saw someone deep in thought. You've been like a different person since you came back today, always spacing out. Did something happen?"
Han Xi shook her head and denied it: "No, I was just thinking about the new product launch."
"We already have a plan, and with the cooperation with the Shen family, the reputation has already been established, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Han Xi added, "I plan to find two celebrities to endorse the product; that would be more effective."
Zhuo Qingqian nodded in agreement: "That's a good idea. Besides, Shen Jiheng's company also has celebrity endorsements. He's very familiar with entertainment companies, so we can talk to him about the idea."
"No!" Han Xi avoided the question without thinking; even mentioning this person made her nervous.
Zhuo Qingqian was surprised by her reaction and asked curiously, "Didn't your relationship with him improve? Why do you seem more resistant now than when you first came back? Did he do something wrong again?"
Han Xi quickly shook her head and explained awkwardly, "I just don't want to have too much contact with him. I'll think about it carefully and see which celebrity to ask to be the spokesperson."
Zhuo Qingqian wasn't stupid; an experienced person like her could tell something was up the moment she saw Han Xi.
She just didn't want to talk about it or press her for answers.
"Alright then, just let me know if you need any help. Oh, by the way, I heard from Beichen that you have a party tomorrow night."
Han Xi felt a little flustered when this was mentioned. She had personally agreed to the party, and both companies had arranged for people to prepare. If she said she would cancel it now, it would definitely cause controversy.
Besides, we shouldn't waste other people's hard work because of personal reasons.
"What, you're going too, judging from your tone?"
Zhuo Qingqian shrugged: "I didn't really want to go, but Bei Chen invited me to be his date, so I reluctantly agreed."
Han Xi laughed and said, "I think someone is worried that her boyfriend is being targeted by others, so she's following him. When are you two planning to get married?"
Zhuo Qingqian shook her head. Over the years, her relationship with Gu Beichen had been stable, and she knew that she truly loved this man.
However, the few happy marriages she encountered around her left her with little courage.
"We'll get married when the time is right."
No sooner had Zhuo Qingqian finished speaking than a helpless voice came from behind her.
"Han Xi, look at what she's saying again. Can you help me persuade her? If she agrees, I'll go register tomorrow morning."
Gu Beichen is ready to get married at any time, but Zhuo Qingqian is unwilling.
Han Xi turned around and encouraged her, "Don't be discouraged. Anyway, Qianqian is all yours. Getting married is just a matter of time."
"That's true, anyway, I won't let her slip away from my grasp."
Gu Beichen said this, but he was still worried. Zhuo Qingqian was independent-minded and somewhat afraid of marriage, otherwise she wouldn't have refused him for several years.
It seems he needs to come up with a good way to get Zhuo Qingqian to agree to marry him.
Zhuo Qingqian walked towards the two children with a towel in hand, her face full of gentle smiles.
“Yuxuan, you’re all sweaty from playing. Come here, your godmother will wipe your sweat.”
Seeing her loving expression, Gu Beichen thought that perhaps having a child would make Zhuo Qingqian decide to marry him.
He now envies Shen Jiheng, wondering what method he used to get Han Xi to give birth to twins for him.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Bo Siye received an email. When he opened it, he found that it was a transfer contract sent by Shen Jiheng, which was the land he wanted.
I thought it would take a lot of effort to get him to give it up, but I didn't expect that as soon as Han Xi took action, I received the news the next day.
What exactly did Han Xi talk to him about that made Shen Jiheng willing to hand it over?
The email asked him to come over that afternoon to discuss the details and sign the contract, and Bo Siye was overjoyed.
Once they get this land back, their plans can proceed as normal, but things that go too smoothly seem to have hidden dangers.
Given the nature of his relationship with Shen Jiheng, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them enemies.
At 2 p.m., Bo Siye arrived at the Shen Group on time.
Qin Chuan led him to the conference room, where Shen Jiheng was already waiting.
Rivals are bound to be hostile when they meet, but this time, there was no sharpness in their eyes; instead, they were surprisingly calm.
Shen Jiheng smiled and gestured, "Sit down. Take a look at the contract and see if there are any problems. If there are no objections, we can sign it today."
Bo Siye had already read through the email and was fairly satisfied; Shen Jiheng hadn't taken advantage of the situation.
However, when he looked at the contract on the table, his face immediately fell.
"Three times? Shen Jiheng, that's not what you wrote in the email you sent me. Now you're asking me to pay three times the price to buy it back? Aren't you taking advantage of my misfortune?"
If Bo Siye had seen all this earlier, he wouldn't have come to negotiate.
Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "What I sent you was just the first version. Didn't you read the notes at the end? Everything is subject to the final negotiation."
Bo Siye realized that he was deliberately making things difficult for himself.
Seeing his exasperated expression, Shen Jiheng was in a very good mood.
"You don't need to be so angry. Originally, I didn't even want to give you a chance. You should be grateful for what Han Xi did for you, which made me promise her that I wouldn't make things difficult for you in the future."
Upon hearing this, Bo Siye's eyes reddened, and he asked urgently, "What did she do? Shen Jiheng, if you dare to bully her, I'll never forgive you."
Shen Jiheng crossed his arms and legs, saying with a relaxed air, "What you're saying is a bit funny. She and I were husband and wife before, and we were on the same page about some things. There's no question of bullying her."
Bo Siye gritted his teeth; this bastard was deliberately showing off in front of him.
Bo Siyue quickly calmed down and retorted, "I really didn't expect Han Xi to have such deep feelings for me. I just said one sentence, and she did something against her conscience to help me."
Shen Jiheng gritted his teeth and said defiantly, "I don't know if it went against my conscience, but I'm really happy. Thanks to you, she took this step, so I've decided not to make things difficult for you."
Is he even speaking human language?
If it's not going to be difficult, why triple the price of the land? It's clearly an attempt to rip them off.
And what exactly did he do to Han Xi? Bo Siye was so angry he was about to explode. He wanted Han Xi to help him, but it was definitely not to rekindle their old relationship.
