Gu Anran was quite happy.
Wu An was completely unguarded around her.
Trust is a two-way street.
This trust made her feel very comfortable, and in turn, she trusted Wu An very much.
At the dinner table.
It was mainly Mr. Zhang who was telling interesting stories about antiques. Wu An listened attentively and occasionally chimed in. Even without discussing the knowledge behind these stories, it was quite interesting just to listen to them as stories.
We ate and drank for two hours.
Wu An paid the money, first took Mr. Zhang back to the antique shop, and then went to the hotel.
It's different from before.
He has booked a suite here long-term, on a yearly basis.
As for the house.
He doesn't plan to buy it.
In their small county, the difference between current housing prices and future prices is only about a thousand yuan per square meter, which is considered good; otherwise, they would be stuck with unsold properties.
The probability of it being stuck in your hands is relatively high.
It's better to book a room at a hotel, move in with your luggage, and have it cleaned up after you leave, enjoying professional one-on-one service.
This is much more convenient than buying a house to stay in occasionally, where you have to find someone to fix it if it gets dirty or broken.
certainly.
It depends on the person.
Gu Anran just wanted to buy a house to live in, because it would be her own no matter what.
Since it was a hotel, she always felt uneasy and would check it carefully every time she checked in, fearing there might be hidden cameras.
That's the thing.
Nothing is perfect.
After checking everything, the two of them were so lovey-dovey that they didn't have time for idle chatter.
Get down to business.
...
night.
At Wu Yingjin's home.
Shen Nan and others gathered together.
They were drinking celebratory drinks, and no one cared whether champagne was opened halfway through the event.
First, we are celebrating Wu Yingjin's transformation into the deputy director of Xiaoxi Village, which means there is still room for further advancement in the future.
Anyway, after drinking a bottle of wine, that's what Shen Nan said.
Wu Yingjin also flattered, "What's so special about me being a deputy director? It's all thanks to you and the old village chief's help."
"Our celebration today is to celebrate you winning the project tomorrow."
"Leaders from the county and city also attended the signing ceremony."
"This is truly a wonderful thing, and it's worth celebrating."
"Come, come, come."
"Let's all raise a glass to Shennan, so it can grow bigger and stronger and lead us to make big money!"
Everyone joined in the commotion.
Lin Hu, who had never drunk much before, started shouting along.
Although Shen Nan waved his hand, outwardly displaying a humble posture, his mouth was actually practically splitting open with a smile.
After taking a sip of wine, Lin Hu complimented, "Anan, you're really amazing. You even managed to get such a high-ranking leader to come and help."
"I didn't realize you had such a wide network of connections."
"I thank you for being willing to help me get rich."
"Regardless, I have to toast you."
As he was speaking, he stood up, said "I'll finish this, you can do whatever you want," and then tilted his head back and drank.
Shen Nan, having already built up the atmosphere to this point, also drank a full glass.
to be honest.
Shen Nan also found it unbelievable.
It's amazing that such a high-ranking leader would come to see such a small project in the village.
This is such a huge favor!
He knew that this had nothing to do with him; he believed it was his grandfather who did it.
He had previously wondered why the old man insisted on postponing the signing ceremony for so long; it turned out he was waiting for the big boss to arrive.
That old man is amazing.
He naturally wouldn't tell outsiders about his own family's situation. If Lin Hu and the others misunderstood, then let them misunderstand.
Hearing everyone's compliments, Shen Nan couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Flattery will get you everywhere.
Lin Hu continued, "I'm actually quite curious, with such great power, why do you insist on returning to the village to develop your business?"
Shen Nan: "Huh?"
He didn't know how to say it. He couldn't very well say that it was because the old man was the village chief that he thought it would be good to stay under his big tree, so he came back.
Lin Hu didn't let Shen Nan feel awkward for long. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "If you're too embarrassed to say it, I'll say it for you."
"Is it because you saw how poor our village is, and how the villagers work so hard but can't earn money, that you came back to lead us to prosperity?"
"That must be it!"
"Anan, I salute you!"
Upon hearing this, the others also offered to toast.
Lin Hu shouted, "Don't fight with me, if you want to offer a toast, line up at the back."
Shen Nan drank it happily.
Damn it.
Lin Hu's words really struck a chord with him.
Yes, yes, yes.
Regardless of whether he thought this way before, this is how he will think from now on.
Lin Hu was not very talkative before, but he turned out to be quite eloquent. He encouraged Lin Hu to talk more in the future since he was so good at it, saying he loved to hear it.
Wu Yingjin was also good at flattery, but unlike Lin Hu's blunt flattery, he understood the principle of praising one while belittling another.
"Lin Hu is absolutely right. In this respect, you are far superior to Wu An."
"Lin Hu is selfish and only cares about making money. He doesn't care about the lives of the villagers at all."
As the saying goes, those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little.
“Look, now everyone in our village supports you. Even Wu Yingwei’s father is helping you prepare for the signing ceremony.”
"This shows that you are one of those who receive much help from those who are virtuous."
Shen Nan laughed heartily as he recounted these elaborate explanations.
"Well said, well said."
"Come on, have a drink!"
Shen Nan took the initiative to ask for a drink.
Others joined in the commotion.
“The deputy director is right. Now the villagers are all helping you, even Wu An’s father is helping you. Why don’t you tell Wu An to work for you from now on?”
“If even Wu An follows you in the future, then you will be the one to call the shots in the village.”
"Yes, yes."
Shen Nan was drunk and carried away. Normally, he would have scoffed at those words.
But now.
He actually listened and took it seriously.
He also thought everyone's points were valid, and that if he took the initiative to recruit him, Wu An would have no choice but to obediently bow down and pay homage.
He asked, "Is that kid Wu An in the village?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Shen Nan sent someone to look for it.
Lin Hu quickly said, "He's not here. I saw him drive away."
Wu Yingjin: "Make a phone call."
Lin Hu said, "It's already so late, isn't this inappropriate?"
Shen Nan took out his phone and shouted with a thick tongue, "I'm calling him to give him face."
"Even in the middle of the night, he has to answer the phone."
After saying that, he found Wu An's phone number.
I called.
Wu Yingjin shouted, "Anan, turn on the loudspeaker."
Shen Nan put his phone on the table and turned on speakerphone.
Lin Huren was completely numb.
That's not how the script was written!
Wu An didn't mention this, which only shows that plans can't keep up with changes.
He couldn't stop him.
A moment later, the call didn't go through, followed by a busy signal.
Shen Nan called again.
Wu Yingjin and the others cursed and were very angry about Wu An's behavior of not answering Shen Nan's call and hanging up directly.
That guy... if Wu An were here, these people might have made a move.
I made a second call.
It's working now!
