When Fang Zeyu woke up the next day, he tapped his head and suddenly remembered what he had said to Shu Yan on the phone the night before. He almost slapped himself. He had been talking nonsense after drinking some cat urine. No, Shu Yan said she would give him a chance?
With a wide grin spreading across his face, he was going to find someone to ask how to woo a wife.
"Of course it's giving gifts. When I was pursuing my wife, I gave her a pair of gold earrings, and she happily agreed on the spot," the dark-skinned man said, leaning closer.
Mao Weiping slapped him on the back of the head. "Do you think everyone's as naive as your wife, easily fooled by a pair of gold earrings? The woman Lao Fang is after isn't just anyone. Do you know Qianxue?"
Several men scratched their heads and shook their heads.
Mao Weiping glared at them. "You know Yan Xue's company upstairs, right?"
“I know Yan Xue. I’ve run into their boss’s wife several times. She drives a Mercedes-Benz, is incredibly beautiful, and has a great presence. I’ve heard she has a powerful background.” A man wearing glasses approached with a cup of tea.
"Could it be that the boss is going to pursue her?" Several people who work in the office know Yan Xue and have also met Hu Ruixue. That woman is beautiful, but she is also really arrogant. She would definitely look down on people like them.
"No, it's another boss of their company. The one you met should be President Hu. Yan Xue's other boss is surnamed Shu. The two of them co-founded Yan Xue. She plans many of the company's activities and programs. She's very capable." After finding out who Fang Zeyu liked, Mao Weiping had someone investigate Shu Yan's background. He was shocked by what he found out.
She's from Xicheng, which is too far to investigate, but it seems her husband cheated on her, so she divorced him, took the money, and moved to Nancheng with her two children. She first bought a house and settled down, then immediately opened a clothing store and became very successful. This aroused the jealousy of her neighbor, A-Le, who then investigated A-Le's background. This is how she met Hu Ruixue. The two, who were in similar situations, became friends and made a fortune selling underwear. They then partnered with Hu Ruixue and, leveraging the Hu family's connections, advertised nationwide, becoming the number one underwear brand in China. Now, it's a company with assets worth hundreds of millions.
Even if Mao Weiping thought Fang Zeyu was not bad, compared to Shu Yan, he seemed to be a little lacking.
So what if she has two children? She's a billionaire; she can have any kind of man she wants.
Hearing that this was another major boss of Yan Xue, the brothers under him were also worried for Fang Zeyu. Who in this building didn't know Yan Xue? From its founding to now, in just six months, it had become a company with assets of over 100 million.
Yan Xue's boss is someone who can't be swayed by a pair of gold earrings.
"Let alone a pair of gold earrings, he could afford a hundred pairs himself." The bespectacled man glanced at Fang Zeyu and said, "To put it bluntly, even the boss might not be as rich as him."
"Now you understand? Money's no use." Mao Weiping patted Fang Zeyu on the shoulder. "Yours? I'm sorry, brother, I can't help you with that!"
Fang Zeyu almost kicked him. These bastards not only didn't help, but they were obviously just watching the show.
"How about taking her shopping? Women love shopping, you can just pay for whatever she likes," one of them suggested, raising his hand.
Mao Weiping looked at him and said calmly, "She also owns a clothing store on Chengnan West Road, which is the most successful one there. Do you think she needs clothes, shoes, or bags?"
"If all else fails, try sending flowers. Don't all women love flowers? Besides, I don't think she necessarily likes expensive gifts. The most important thing is the thought behind it. If she really likes you, she'll be happy even if you send her a wildflower. If she doesn't like you, even if you send her diamonds, they'll just be stones," the bespectacled man suggested.
Shu Yan was unaware that Fang Zeyu was racking his brains trying to figure out how to pursue her. She had to go to Lao Zhang's place today; it was almost July, and Lao Zhang's factory was preparing to produce thermal underwear, so the OEM production would have to stop.
In addition, it was agreed that dividends would be distributed every six months, and this time Shuyan was also asked to come and share the money.
"This money is all earned by you and your husband through your own subcontracting work; it has nothing to do with me." Since it's all part of Old Zhang and his wife's extra business, Shu Yan has no intention of sharing it with them.
“That won’t do. Things have to be done the way they should be. You own 20% of the factory’s shares, so you should distribute them. Otherwise, things will fall apart,” Old Zhang said seriously.
The company had been outsourcing production for the first half of the year. After deducting labor, utilities, and rent, they still had 235,000 yuan left. Shu Yan said that she hadn't done anything, so they should get a larger share of the wages. In the end, the wages were split at 200,000 yuan, and Shu Yan got 40,000 yuan.
After putting away the 40,000 yuan, Shu Yan chatted with them for a few minutes and then went home.
"Old Hu just came looking for you." Auntie had met Old Hu twice, so they were acquainted.
"I know." Shu Yan called Lao Hu. "I had some business at the factory today. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"So, didn't you ask me to help you find a storefront last time?" Old Hu had just arrived home, covered in sweat.
"Found it?" Finding a storefront you like is really difficult. Shu Yan has been searching since the beginning of the year and hasn't found one she likes.
"I haven't found a storefront, but I have a house I'm selling. I'd like to ask if you're interested?" Old Hu thought the house was nice, but most people couldn't afford it, so he contacted Shu Yan directly.
"A house? What kind of house?" Shu Yan was indeed interested.
"It's an old courtyard house, two stories high, with large courtyards in the front and back. Although it's an old courtyard house, the owner has maintained it very well; it looks very new, and everything inside is in good condition. It's not too far from your house; you can walk there," Old Hu explained simply.
There are indeed many such courtyards not far from her home. She had considered buying one before, but after asking around, none of the owners were willing to sell.
"Can you find out why he's selling it?" You have to ask carefully when buying this kind of house, otherwise it will cause too much trouble later.
"How about I come over and tell you in person?" Old Hu suggested.
Shu Yan glanced at the time and said, "I'll come find you, and we can take a look at the house while we're at it."
It wasn't far to Lao Hu's house, only a five or six-minute walk. When Lao Hu saw Shuya, he greeted her with a smile, as if she were a god of wealth, and served her some fine tea.
"The homeowner only has one daughter. She went abroad to study and then got married there. She had a baby last year, and they went to help her during her postpartum period. They were originally going to stay for two months and then come back, but now they say they can't bear to leave their daughter and grandson, and their daughter can't bear to leave them either, so they've decided to stay there. The house is getting too small for them, so they're thinking of moving to a bigger one, which is why they're planning to sell this house. The house is absolutely great; if it weren't for their daughter, they really wouldn't be willing to sell it." Old Hu went to see it, and to be honest, he was tempted by it.
This sounds so familiar. After thinking for a while, Shu Yan asked, "Is it in Xiazhuang Village?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Old Hu looked at Shu Yan with suspicion. Could it be that someone had recommended it to Shu Yan beforehand? That shouldn't be the case, he's the only broker for this film.
"What a coincidence! Last year, my house was taken back and I had to find a new place to rent. I asked my daughter's classmate's mother for help, and that's the place I found. I was planning to rent there, but the old lady there said that I would damage their furniture if I brought my child, so she didn't want to rent to me. If it were them? Their old lady is not easy to get along with." Shu Yan had a vivid memory of Lin Hui's third aunt.
"I know that old lady you're talking about, just ignore her. She has two sons and a daughter, and she's extremely patriarchal. Her daughter hasn't come back since she got married. She's good to both sons, but after the homeowner had a daughter, she treated them much worse. Especially after her younger son gave birth to her grandson, she's been scheming to get something from her older son's family to subsidize him. She even plans to give her older son's house to her grandson. Do you think the older son and his wife would agree to that? The two families are at odds. You're saying the homeowner entrusted the house to her mother? She's definitely lying. She must have entrusted it to her neighbor's older sister." Old Hu knew everything about the area.
"If that's the case, then the old lady will definitely come back and cause trouble." Shu Yan frowned. People have been eyeing this house for a long time; how could she possibly have peace of mind if she bought it?
"It's alright. The homeowner bought the house himself; it has nothing to do with the old lady. Besides, renting and buying are different. A rented house still belongs to someone else, but if you buy it, it's your own. If she dares to cause trouble, just call the police. If all else fails, there's always me. If we can't do it openly, we can do it covertly. I guarantee she won't dare to bother you." Old Hu was confident about this much.
Since Lao Hu said so, Shu Yan naturally stopped worrying about it. However, at this time, very few houses had property ownership certificates, which was crucial. If they weren't being demolished, it would be fine, but once they were, there would be a lot of trouble.
The area she bought will be demolished in the future, so she needs to figure that out.
"It's not a big problem. I can help you get the property certificate, but it will cost a bit more money," Lao Hu asked Shu Yan if she minded.
Of course, I don't mind. What's wrong with spending a little more money? I'll earn it back several times over later.
"Is the landlord home?" Shu Yan asked.
"They're back. They still need to gather the necessary documents to apply for immigration. They have a lot to do, so they can't leave anytime soon."
Since the landlord was there and she had nothing to do in the afternoon, Shu Yan went with Lao Hu to take another look at the house.
He knocked on the door, and after a short while, a woman who looked quite shrewd opened it. She was very happy to see Old Hu. "Someone's already come to see the house? I told you, there are plenty of people who want to buy this house." The woman said this on purpose to show that she was not worried about selling the house, so the price would not be low.
Take this with a grain of salt. The two followed him into the yard, where the ground on both sides had been turned over, leaving only a few flowers and two fruit trees.
"This is Miss Shu. She was originally planning to buy a house, but when you mentioned you wanted to sell, I mentioned it to her. She just happened to have some free time today and came to take a look." Old Hu smiled faintly, indicating that they weren't in a hurry to buy a house; they just wanted to come and take a look first.
"Hello, Miss Shu. What do you think? Isn't my house nice?" the hostess said with great confidence.
"Let me take a look first." Shu Yan didn't answer her question. She looked at the house again carefully. Buying a house is different from renting a house. As long as the house is clean and has a good layout, that's enough. But when you buy a house, you have to consider all aspects.
The house was built in the 1950s, so it's almost 30 years old now. However, the materials used are very good, and the owner has maintained it very carefully, so it looks quite new. The house occupies about 150 square meters, and with the front and back yards, it's more than 200 square meters, which is definitely not small in a place like this in the southern part of the city.
