Chapter 1397: Hard to Reject
Chapter 1397: Hard to Reject
"Okay, Lao Wang, you go first." Cheng Gui said expressionlessly.
At the same time, he adjusted his cuffs, as if deliberately emphasizing his impatience.
Hearing this, Wang Fugui's heart sank.
He understood immediately.
It was obvious that Cheng Gui was not going to accept his invitation to have dinner today.
This probably means that he has to wait until he has dealt with Fang Yuan's matter.
Only then will they consider accepting my invitation to a banquet.
Although a little disappointed.
But Wang Fugui didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, Cheng Gui’s attitude now is very clear.
"Okay, then I'll leave first and won't disturb you anymore..." Wang Fugui said with a forced smile.
Then he turned and staggered away.
Looking at Wang Fugui's departing back, the expression on Cheng Gui's face instantly became relaxed.
He smiled and said to Jiang Cheng: "Then I won't bother you three. I'm leaving first..."
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng politely tried to persuade him to stay, "Hey, just sit down and eat together. Why are you leaving?"
"Really? Then I won't be polite..."
Seeing Cheng Gui sitting down directly, Jiang Cheng said jokingly: "Old Cheng, you are really rude."
He had been waiting for Jiang Cheng's invitation for a long time.
Of course you won't be polite.
After laughing twice, Cheng Gui showed a hearty smile on his face.
He smiled and responded: "Oh, why are you being so polite? If you are too polite, you will become an outsider!"
After saying that, he waved at Zhang Ting, signaling her to sit down quickly.
Afterwards, Jiang Cheng asked the waiter to bring a few more dishes.
At Cheng Gui's age, he obviously has a special liking for white wine.
After ordering a bottle of Moutai, he asked around.
When he learned that Fang Yuan and Zhou Ying did not drink, he did not force them.
Instead, he expressed his understanding in a very considerate way.
Then, Cheng Gui picked up two exquisite five-cent cups and began to slowly pour wine into them.
"Come on, come on, let me toast you first!" Cheng Gui picked up the glass and said to Jiang Cheng.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng clinked glasses with Cheng Gui generously and drank it all in one gulp.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere gradually became heated.
"By the way, I heard that your whole family is not in Chengdu this year?" Cheng Gui suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng slowly picked up a drunken shrimp and put it into his bowl.
Then he put on gloves and started peeling shrimps, as if he was not affected by Cheng Gui's question at all.
"You are really well-informed."
"Of course, when the Chinese New Year is approaching, every family is trying to find out information. There are several families who want to find connections to send gifts to your family, but they know that there is no one at home and no relatives to receive gifts on your behalf. It's difficult..."
"This year our whole family will be spending the New Year in Kyoto."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng put a few peeled shrimps into Zhou Ying's bowl.
Zhang Ting, who was standing by, saw that Zhou Ying didn't even say thank you.
The expression on his face became even more sour.
The chest that was originally straight collapsed immediately.
A sentence immediately popped into my mind.
"How can life be the same no matter who you are~~"
Damn, they are all women.
How come I have never been treated like this?
When Jiang Cheng peeled the shrimp for Zhou Ying, Zhou Ying also handed the peeled crab legs to Jiang Cheng.
But in her opinion, this is still an incredible thing.
Why is it so incredible? Of course it’s not because the two of them are feeding each other.
It was because Jiang Cheng actually peeled shrimp for Zhou Ying.
Judging from the situation just now, Zhou Ying's family conditions are clearly several levels lower than Jiang Cheng's.
Otherwise Fang Yuan would not be just a supervisor.
With such conditions, she should be the only one who can prepare bowls and chopsticks and peel shrimps for Jiang Cheng.
Zhang Ting's idea actually depends on her cognition and experience.
At first glance, it was obvious that Jiang Cheng and Zhou Ying could each peel their own and eat their own.
There is absolutely no need to peel them and then exchange them before eating.
Anyone who has this kind of thought can obviously have never felt love.
When in love, these seemingly useless exchanges can actually make two people sweet for a long time.
Fang Yuan standing by was obviously immune to this situation.
But even if I am immune, I still feel a little envious in my heart.
"By the way, I heard that Jiangtai and other companies have contracted the mining rights of the mining area. I even heard that the mining area seems to still belong to Jiangtai."
Seeing Jiang Cheng looking at him, Cheng Gui laughed again: "I just heard about it. I have a relative who works in that bureau. Jiang Tai's mining license... But I don't know if he is talking nonsense."
In China, most mining areas are state-owned.
Only a small portion is private.
This kind of private application is almost impossible to get approved in this era.
It was unexpected that a small construction company in Jiangtai was able to apply for it.
The energy behind it can be imagined.
Since Cheng Gui guessed it, Jiang Cheng did not deny it.
"You're right. Our Jiangtai will soar to the sky this year."
Jiang Cheng was not wrong. Before, Jiang Tai’s annual income was only a few million at most.
After the dividends were distributed, nearly one million would go into his own pocket.
But now it has been taken to the mining area, although it has not been mined yet, so we don’t know the specific situation.
But it will definitely not be less than several million in profit.
If this isn't soaring into the sky, then what is?
Cheng Gui didn't think there was anything wrong or arrogant about what Jiang Cheng said.
I just feel full of envy.
Zhou Ying and the other two heard that Jiang Cheng's family had a mine.
He was secretly surprised.
Especially Fang Yuan.
Although after experiencing a series of changes, she felt that life without love and pursuing money alone would not last long.
But it was clear that his daughter was pursuing money while also having Jiang Cheng's favor.
If this love can last.
That's a big deal.
Cheng Gui said obliquely: "I heard that you Xingchen also has many investments. Although my assets are not much, I have also been considering transformation recently. If there is a good investment direction, I hope you can let me know so that I can pick up sesame seeds behind the scenes."
Jiang Cheng deliberately said after hearing this: "No way, the house is not selling well?"
Cheng Gui nodded when he heard this: "That's true. The value has been soaring. It seems that my assets have been increasing, but they have to be traded. What you have in your hands is money. This year I clearly feel a sense of crisis."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng cast an admiring look towards Cheng Gui.
"I almost believed it, but Lao Cheng has a good eye. It would be a good idea to make some other investments."
Although Jiang Cheng did not reveal the inside story of the property.
But Jiang Cheng's words clearly meant that he agreed.
......
Soon, Cheng Gui was a little drunk.
Finally, he left the scene first with the help of Zhang Ting.
After Cheng Gui left, Zhou Ying asked with concern: "Jiang Cheng, are you okay?"
Since the system was established, my physical condition has improved.
Jiang Cheng felt that his alcohol tolerance had increased significantly.
At this moment I just felt a little hot.
"It's ok, why don't you go to the terrace to get some fresh air? You can see the fireworks there."
When the three of them arrived at the private terrace, Taikoo Li’s New Year’s Eve fireworks were just setting off.
Jiang Cheng stood behind Fang Yuan and Zhou Ying.
He vaguely shrouded the two of them in his shadow.
"Is it cold?"
When Jiang Cheng asked this question, he did not mention anyone by name.
Fang Yuan shook her head subconsciously.
Zhou Ying was concentrating on taking pictures at this time.
He replied with a smile: "I'm not cold."
Under the cover of fireworks, she didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between Fang Yuan and Jiang Cheng at all.
Zhou Ying's words of "thank you" immediately brought Fang Yuan back to her senses.
He noticed that his body was involuntarily getting closer to Jiang Cheng.
Fang Yuan moved away slightly without leaving a trace.
Staring at the overlapping figures of three people on the ground.
Fang Yuan said, "Jiang Cheng, it's not appropriate to put my name on this house. Let's put your name on it."
When Zhou Ying heard this, she turned around and looked at Jiang Cheng.
Zhou Ying also knew that the house should not be taken away.
But she felt that what she said was a little strange.
After all, Jiang Cheng bought her two houses.
Now saying that this set is not suitable, isn’t that a bit pretentious? ?
In the light of the fireworks, Jiang Cheng put his hand directly on Zhou Ying's waist.
"What's inappropriate about it? This is the other party's apology to you, and it's reasonable to put your name on it. This house is a high-quality asset of Lushan International, and it has a good market prospect. You can treat it as an investment."
Seeing Jiang Cheng's hand around her waist move, he signaled her to start persuading.
Zhou Ying blinked and said with a smile, "Mom, Jiang Cheng is right! That guy deserves to lose money anyway, why don't you just give him up!"
Fang Yuan was still a little hesitant: "But such a valuable item..."
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and said in a natural tone: "If you really feel bad, you can transfer it to Yingying at any time after the formalities are completed, or sell it for cash, and treat it as compensation for your mental damages from Wang Fugui."
His words were flawless and it was obvious that Fang Yuan was convinced by him.
Fang Yuan looked at her daughter, then at Jiang Cheng.
Thinking of the time when Jiang Cheng came, she had to hide in the bedroom to give the two of them some space alone.
If I had another house now.
Then she could live there occasionally.
In this way, Zhou Ying and Jiang Cheng can go out for the night or stay overnight.
Both are quite convenient.
Besides, to be honest, it’s such a big house.
Fang Yuan was actually also very moved.
She has been with Zhou Ying's father for so many years.
I never got any assets like houses and cars.
Some have only usage rights but no ownership rights.
Suddenly got such a big house.
To be honest, it was hard for her to say no.
