Chapter 282: Low price!

Ji Pianran was also stunned, looking at the saliva stain on Gu Chen's arm, embarrassed and ashamed.

She actually licked Gu Chen's arm!

She had originally wanted to scare him a little, but who knew he would just come to her so willingly.

'I, I didn't mean to.' She turned her head, holding back the pounding of her heart, and pretended that nothing had happened.

Gu Chen cleared his throat and casually said, 'Well, I didn't mean to either.'

Honestly, he had just wanted to tease her a little, but who knew she was so clumsy.

Hearing Gu Chen say that, Ji Pianran's momentary embarrassment instantly disappeared.

What did he mean he didn't mean to either?

He meant to, he meant to.

Gu Chen, you're bad!

The family of three took a taxi to the hotel entrance. Gu Chen carried the sleeping Tang Tang to the third floor, Ji Pianran took the room card key and opened the door. After opening the door, Gu Chen put the little guy on the bed, and then looked over at Ji Pianran's face.

With a face full of concern, he asked, 'Are you really not hungry?'

At the moment, Manager Wang had sent him the address. He had to go meet the clothing store owner.

If it works out, then he can make a lot of money.

Not to mention ten years, even if it's three years from now, the price will have to double, from 20 million to 40 million. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good deal.

Ji Pianran nodded, with a hint of happiness in her eyes.

She looked at Gu Chen, her tone gentle.

'Don't worry, I'm not a child, I can take care of myself and Tangtang, so you go ahead.'

She didn't want to delay Gu Chen from making money.

Ji Pianran had suffered and knew the hardship of having no money, and she also knew how hard it was to earn money. So when it came to Gu Chen earning money, she was always particularly supportive.

She would not act up like other girls, because she truly understood from the bottom of her heart that Gu Chen was not fighting for himself, but for the whole family, for a good life for the three of them.

Since she could not help, she would not make things worse.

Seeing Ji Pianran's sensible appearance, Gu Chen's heart softened for some reason.

He reached out and took her into his arms, hugging her gently before reluctantly letting her go. 'I'll go then. Take care of yourself and the kids.'

Ji Bianran nodded, 'Yes, go early and come back soon.'

Once outside, Gu Chen took a taxi to the address Manager Wang had sent him to, which was the Bitter Tea House.

There was no denying that the tea culture in this city was really something, with morning tea and afternoon tea.

People really love tea.

Gu Chen doesn't have any special feelings about this, and only drinks tea when he's tired to refresh himself.

Generally speaking, he drinks more water.

When the tea was poured out, the driver said, 'Little Rooster (young man), that's 18 yuan.'

Gu Chen took out a 20 and waited until the driver gave him two yuan back before getting off the taxi.

The teahouse had a nice decor, and it looked antique.

Gu Chen knew from the moment he stood in the doorway that this place was not cheap.

He straightened his clothes and walked towards the door.

As soon as he entered, the waitress in a white cheongsam came over to him with a smile on her face. She bowed first, then sweetly asked, 'How many are in your party, sir?'

'The Chaozhou-Shantou room on the second floor,' said Gu Chen.

Upon hearing this, the waitress made a gesture of invitation towards the stairs, then walked in front to lead the way.

When they arrived at the Chaoshan room, the waiter politely knocked on the wooden sliding door of the private room and said, 'We have guests.'

Then he opened the door and said to Gu Chen, 'Sir, please come in.'

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the stairs.

Gu Chen glanced into the private room. If the outside packaging could be considered antique, then the inside was simply the elegant room of a nobleman from ancient times.

A wooden table with a unique shape, like a winding stream.

Just looking at it gave off an elegant feeling.

On it was a purple clay tea tray with a teapot, teacups and a tea set.

The two men sitting at the table, one was well-dressed in a suit and tie, and looked quite fit.

The other man next to him was fair and clean-shaven, and looked a little thin.

He was dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts.

Gu Chen knew from experience that you could tell at a glance that the man in the suit was Manager Huang.

The one dressed casually next to him was the real boss.

Because the boss was usually there, the employees basically dressed formally. After all, the boss would say something if they weren't dressed appropriately, but what the boss wore depended entirely on his mood. Plus, the man in the T-shirt had such good skin that he looked like a typical southerner.

Neither of them said a word, waiting for Gu Chen to speak first. Because in the few minutes they were waiting for Gu Chen, the boss, Li Haitao, had made a bet with Manager Wang that he would definitely treat Manager Wang as the boss.

But Manager Wang had also spoken to Gu Chen on the phone, and in order to avoid revealing their conversation, neither of them said a word. They just nodded at the car hire woman.

This made Gu Chen feel very uncomfortable.

What did it mean when they didn't say a word?

Were they waiting for her to speak first?

Gu Chen sat opposite the southern man and smiled politely at him, 'What is your surname, boss?'

Li Haitao was full of surprise when he saw that Gu Chen recognised him without even having to ask, "I'm lost, how did you know I'm the boss?'

Gu Chen smiled, "Isn't this obvious?'

Manager Wang let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Chen recognised the real boss at once.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Gu Chen would make a mistake and cause the boss to lose face, and even get angry with him.

Now he had no worries about that at all, and he felt much more relaxed. He stood up, extended his hand, and smiled at Gu Chen.

'Hello, Mr. Gu, I'm Wang, the person you spoke with on the phone today. This is our boss, Mr. Li.'

Gu Chen politely shook his hand and exchanged pleasantries, 'Hello.'

After shaking hands, Manager Wang offered Gu Chen a cup of tea.

Gu Chen took a sip, raised his eyebrows, and praised, 'The tea is good.'

After that, he went straight to the topic, "What are your plans for that building?'

Li Haitao didn't expect Gu Chen to bring this up as soon as he entered the door.

He was a little surprised, "You didn't even ask me my name, aren't you afraid I'm a liar?'

Gu Chen smiled, 'A property ownership certificate can't lie, can it?'

Li Haitao also smiled when he heard this. It seemed that he was bold and meticulous.

'Go ahead, what's your price?' he asked.

Gu Chen broke with convention this time, not avoiding the issue but just going straight to the price, '15 million.'

In business, it's all about setting a high price and bargaining.

Just say a minimum price first and then slowly negotiate.

In fact, Gu Chen knew in his heart that 15 million yuan was out of the question.

He said such a low price just to strike Li Haitao first, just like Manager Wang's phone call at noon that the boss didn't want to sell the building.

It was just a ploy.

Sure enough, Li Haitao almost spat out his tea.
