After Gu Yanxi finished helping Xia Ye with the property rights of the wasteland, she was ready to return to Longcheng City to reinvest in the work of Yemu Capital.
Just when she was about to send the property ownership certificate to the lake view villa on a summer night, the phone suddenly rang.
The caller was none other than Gu Yanxi's father, Gu Xuexin, whom she never liked to see.
Because she has always felt that her father Gu Xuexin has always been biased against her.
But Gu Yanxi also understands that family ties that are thicker than water can never be cut off no matter what.
She picked up the phone and said coldly: "If you still want to talk to me about my marriage, you'd better give up as soon as possible."
Gu Xuexin said calmly on the other end of the phone: "Xixi, it's not easy for you to come back. How about you come back now and take the boyfriend you brought last time with you. Let's be a family together." Have a quick lunch?”
"Dad, don't you like him? Besides, he is very busy on weekdays. He has no time to eat with you. You should go do what you should do and don't cause trouble here."
Gu Xuexin smiled flatteringly and said: "Xixi, why didn't you tell me earlier that he is the big customer of our Bauhinia Bank who deposited 2 billion? If such a person is a good match for the daughter of our Gu family, that would be more than enough. ah."
"Don't talk nonsense here. Gu Zheyan even thinks that I'm on someone else's side. All you are calling is to bring us together and consolidate the Gu family's position in Gusu."
Gu Xuexin grinned and said: "As expected of me, Gu Xuexin's daughter, she is so smart! Xixi, if you have such a boyfriend, you must cherish it."
"I may disappoint you. Yesterday, I just didn't want you to arrange a marriage for me, so I deliberately called him my boyfriend. He is actually my boss, and he has a family. You'd better not do it in the future. It’s a sweet dream to achieve great success.”
Gu Xuexin said angrily: "Gu Yanxi, are you kidding me?"
"Didn't you fool me too? Let's fool each other once, it's fair! I don't have time to argue with you. I want to go back to Longcheng City and continue to be my vice president. Dad, don't forget, there is something between us It’s a gambling agreement!”
Gu Xuexin snorted coldly: "It's not that I look down on you. With your ability, I'm afraid you won't even be able to gain a foothold in Longcheng City, let alone the entire Handong Province."
"Dad, let's just wait and see."
Say it.
Gu Yanxi hung up the phone without any explanation, then took out a lipstick, applied flaming red lips neatly, and took a taxi to the Lakeview Villa with a pile of information in hand.
…
Mirror Flower, Water Moon Lake View Villa.
An old man over sixty years old was fishing by the lake.
I passed by the villa area twice in the summer night and saw that the fishing gear held by the old man was very good, but the hook on the fishing line was straight.
Is this imitating Jiang Taigong's fishing?
With this curiosity, Xia Ye slowly walked towards the old man and asked with a smile: "Old man, you are willing to take the bait!"
The sixty-year-old man smiled and said: "Young man, I have seen you running around the villa twice. Are you a new resident who moved here?"
Xia Ye said in surprise: "Old man, you seem to have a very clear idea of the situation in the villa?"
The old man in his 60s stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have lived here for almost ten years. I recognize all the young people coming and going here. I have no ability in this life, but... My memory is relatively good. Even if I am seventy or eighty years old, I can remember many things very clearly."
Xia Ye squatted beside the sixty-year-old man and asked with a smile: "Then can I ask you who lives in this villa?"
The sixty-year-old old man's deep eyes were like a hawk, constantly looking at Xia Ye.
"Seeing as you are young and have just moved here not long ago, you want to make connections here, right?"
Xia Ye looked at the old man in his 60s in surprise and said, "Old man, you really guessed it right. I'm new to the provincial capital of Gusu, and I'm not that familiar with this strange city."
The old man in his 60s said: "Young man, if you want to find out information from others in this world, you have to pay a high price. If I tell you the information about all the residents in this villa area, then I can get it from you. what?"
Obviously the old man fishing was posing a problem for him.
An old man who has been able to live in a lake view villa for more than ten years must be a tough guy who has no shortage of money.
An old man who likes fishing is like a wise man who has escaped into Buddhism, and he has no interest in the bone-scraping steel knife.
The old people are all wise men who have escaped into Buddhism, so they can naturally control the root of trouble such as Qi.
In Xia Ye's opinion, the only thing left was the poisonous wine to make the sixty-year-old man express his inner feelings to him.
Fortunately, he came to Suzhou this time and brought several boxes of Moutai from the 1950s from home.
"Old man, just wait, I'll get you something good right now."
Say it.
Xia Ye returned to the villa, carrying a bottle of Maotai and returning to the visitor's side.
I saw Xia Ye opening the bottle cap without hesitation, and a pure and mellow sauce fragrance instantly wafted into the air.
Unable to resist the temptation of intestinal poison, the sixty-year-old man kept wagging his nose and his pupils kept dilating!
This kind of aged wine is rarely seen on the market in Suzhou.
Most of the Moutai currently on the market are newly brewed Moutai from the 1990s.
The oldest vintage wine he has seen during this period was only from the 1970s.
It can be said that Moutai in the 1950s took him back to a very distant era.
"Young man, I haven't smelled such a mellow wine in almost fifty years. I still remember that not long after the empire was established, Maotai-flavored wines like Moutai came out. I was lucky enough to drink a few glasses at that time. The smell of the wine I will never forget it.”
Xia Ye grinned and said, "Would you like to take a bite?"
The sixty-year-old man smacked his lips, and suddenly saw Xia Ye looking at him with a smile, and stopped preparing to drink.
"You kid really want to know who are the influential figures from Gusu who live in the villa?"
Xia Ye nodded desperately and said, "Since you plan to come to Suzhou for development, you will inevitably have to deal with these people."
In the previous life, Xia Ye settled in the provincial capital ten years ago, and it took several years of development to get into the upper class society of Suzhou.
After her rebirth, Xia Ye was about to enter the top circles in Gusu fifteen years earlier. She was not familiar with the people in this circle, let alone understood them.
In this clueless situation, only by living in a place like Lakeview Villa can we have a general understanding of the people in the top circles in Suzhou.
The old man in his 60s suddenly had a hint of appreciation for Xia Ye and grinned: "You don't seem to be a foolhardy young man. You still know how to find out the truth first. You have read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, right?"
