Just now, he had a fifteen-minute phone call with his boss.
His boss is Li Haitao, a diehard gambler.
Huacheng is close to Hong Kong, and his family is rich, so he often goes to Hong Kong with his friends for a few days of fun.
At first, he played for small amounts, but as time went on, he became more and more daring, betting 100,000 or 200,000 yuan at a time.
He didn't care about money at all.
Just two nights ago, he lost 50 million yuan in one night.
He suffered heavy losses.
He was lying on the bed in his villa, thinking about selling the small, three-storey building as gambling capital to get back on his feet.
Then Wang called him and said that someone was interested in the building. This was like a bolt from the blue, it was really too coincidental.
He immediately agreed, saying that he wanted to arrange a meeting with Gu Chen in the evening and that if it was a good deal, he would make a move immediately.
Manager Wang naturally didn't dare to delay, so he immediately called Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen was not stupid, and he knew from the tone of his voice that there was a chance of success. Otherwise, who would want to chat with someone who was not related and had no interest in the deal?
He smiled and said, 'My name is Gu Chen, as in take care of, as in enthusiastic.'
Manager Wang laughed heartily.
'Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, it's like this, to be honest, our boss Li actually didn't want to sell the building, but after my persuasion, he decided to sell it. I persuaded him for a long time before he agreed to have dinner with me tonight. Do you have time?'
After all, he is in business, and he obviously wants to sell, but he has to express his unwillingness first. He comes on high-handed, and first uses psychological tactics on the other party, so as to facilitate price increases.
However, Gu Chen was not at all anxious. His tactics were useless with Gu Chen.
To put it bluntly, Gu Chen was just taking a chance. It would be better to buy this building, but if he really can't buy it, he will just go back to Haicheng and buy it. Although he will earn less, Haicheng is ultimately a safe choice.
The prices in Haicheng haven't risen as quickly as those in Huacheng, but it's still safer. After all, when it comes to business, you have to give up something to get something.
If you compare this clothing building in Huacheng to stocks, then the houses in Haicheng are funds.
Anyway, buying anything is a way to make money. It's not too late to invest in a good stock next time, because you can make money anyway.
Gu Chen casually said, 'Okay, you decide on the location, and just give me the address when you're done.'
'Hey, hey, hey, it's settled then. Manager Gu, you mustn't stand me up.' Manager Wang's attitude had become amiable and friendly.
Over here, in the lingerie store, Ji Pianran was blushing with embarrassment.
It was mainly because the sales assistant was so enthusiastic.
After introducing the T-back briefs that had just become popular this year, it wasn't enough, there were also a bunch of QQ underwear hanging on the wall.
Ji Pianran had never seen any of these before.
The sales assistant said they looked very good, and Ji was tempted.
The salesperson took advantage of the situation and immediately took out the renderings for Ji Pianran to look at.
Looking at the sexy poses in the magazine and the bold clothing,
Ji Pianran instantly blushed and wished she could cover her eyes.
It turned out that Ji Pianran's underwear was all bought for her by Wu Shuhui, and she had bought two sets herself later, but they were all made of pure cotton.
Black and white, nothing special.
This kind of mesh with lace, there is not much fabric.
Just looking at it made Ji Pianran feel so shy that she couldn't even bear to wear it.
Seeing Ji Pianran's shyness, the shop assistant gave her a smiling pat on the shoulder.
With a serious tone, she said, 'Pretty girl, you're from out of town, right? This is very common here, but the latest trend is that you, with your great figure and fair skin, are guaranteed to make your husband fall in love with you if you wear this.'
If she didn't say it, it was even better. Ji Pianran was even more embarrassed when she said it. Her face turned red, from a light red to a swollen red, like a ripe apple.
She and Gu Chen had not slept together yet.
At first, she did resist a little, but now she really didn't have that kind of thought at all. Not only that, but she had a little bit of anticipation.
But after all, the child was there, and every time it was just a kiss at most, and he went to sleep.
To be honest, that morning, she really felt that Gu Chen was holding back.
According to Auntie Zhang, if you hold back too long, you won't be able to do it in the future, and it will be bad if you hold back too long.
She didn't want Gu Chen to hold back.
Thinking about this, Ji Pianran pursed her lips and wavered a little.
Why don't you buy a whole set?
If the worst comes to the worst, she can hide it until they go back home, and then give it to Gu Chen if he wants it when she's asleep one night.
It's been almost four years, and it really wouldn't be right if they don't do that.
'Oh, don't hesitate, beautiful girl. You can't go wrong if you listen to me. I've been there, I've done that, and I'm not going to lie to you,' the waitress said, and her Cantonese took on a different flavour, with a hint of Shandong.
Ji Pianran didn't notice at all because she was so nervous.
She bit her lip and looked back at the magazine, her face turning red as she said, 'Well, then, let's take one set.'
This woman was speaking sincerely, and it didn't seem like she was trying to trick her. At worst, she could buy it and put it away for now. After all, she wouldn't be coming back to this flower city for a while, and if she regretted it, it would be hard to buy it again.
It was better to buy it now!
After that, she picked out two more cotton sets, paid for them together, and walked out of the lingerie store with the paper bag the waitress had packed for her.
Gu Chen had finished making the phone call by now, and seeing Ji Bianran come out, he smiled and greeted her.
'How was it? Did you buy anything you liked?'
Ji Bianran had just come out, and her mind was still full of QQ underwear. She was startled when she heard Gu Chen's voice.
Her watery eyes blinked nervously.
Guilty conscience looked over at Gu Chen.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, 'I didn't buy what I liked, but he probably did buy what he liked, right?'
The more she thought about it, the more her face blushed uncontrollably.
But Ji Pianran herself had no idea at all.
Seeing her blushing face, with a little bit of guilt in her eyes. Gu Chen really felt something was wrong.
He touched his head, why was he wearing that expression?
Did he not pay for the purchase?
He asked suspiciously, 'What just happened?'
Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran's heart almost jumped into her throat.
She couldn't let Gu Chen find out that she had bought such things.
She hadn't decided whether to wear it or not, and it would be embarrassing if he saw her. What if Gu Chen thought she was being indecent?
Thinking about this, Ji Bianran subconsciously retracted her hand and hid the paper bag in her hand behind her body.
Her expression was extremely unnatural.
'What can happen when buying underwear,' she muttered.
Gu Chen still didn't feel right about it, and he took two steps closer to her.
His tone was a little threatening, 'Look at me and say it.'
Ji Pianran didn't dare to look at Gu Chen. For some reason, even though Gu Chen had been treating her well recently, she was now increasingly afraid of Gu Chen. She was afraid that he would cough, that he would get angry, that he would be unhappy.
Ji Pianran swallowed, and quickly looked away.
