Mrs. Huang admired Yu Nian's temperament very much and sighed, "When I was not married, I would often do business with the elders in my family. I also know that there are times when one is born into a wealthy family and cannot help oneself, such as marriage. Huang Jifa, although he is tall It wasn’t very good. When he came to propose marriage, the power of the Huang family was indeed not equal to that of my family, but at that time I saw that he was quite willing to work hard and smart, so I agreed to the marriage."
When they said this, the two of them were in a cafe with bright and clean windows, which was completely opposite to the hotel where Mrs. Huang was staying. It was in the most prime location of Beishi Financial Street.
In addition to the most luxurious hotels, there are also high-end shopping malls that gather the world's top brands. Cafes are opened on the street, and most of the people passing through this street are luxury cars. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the big screens above shopping malls are full of beautiful holiday promotions.
Underneath the brilliance is the Tan Yuan Hotel, which is the most luxurious hotel in Jeonbuk City during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival event.
The Qin Yuan brand itself is extremely luxurious. There is one store in the urban area of Beishi City and another store in the outer suburbs of Beishi City. A completely local industry is the ceiling of the entire North City hotel.
Especially the one in the outer suburbs, which is close to the Qingshan Buddhist Temple, is very advantageous from a geographical point of view. It is an antique hotel with mountains and rivers, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. There is a guest room with a courtyard, and there is an independent private bath in the courtyard. It is said that the total investment exceeds 1 billion.
If she didn't have to work in the city, Mrs. Huang would live in the Qin Yuan in the outer suburbs. She was obsessed with the environment there.
What a coincidence, the biggest boss behind Qin Yuan is Jiang Nian Yan. This matter is not publicized to the outside world, and various events are attended by the hotel chairman. But everyone in the industry knows who the real investment boss is.
Yu Nian heard that this land in Financial Street was the beginning of the Jiang family's internal strife, because Jiang Niantai also took a fancy to this land at the time. At the same time, the Zhang family was also involved, and Zhang Xuanwen was a high-profile person. Therefore, the fight for land was carried out with great fanfare, and in the end, those who abandoned their armor and left with great fanfare were also vigorous.
The outside world never publicizes the ownership of this land, and the common people naturally don't care, because no matter who gets this land, those who can come to this land to consume are either rich or noble. In other words, in the Financial Street area, even the air costs money.
Although Yu Nian was by Jiang Nianyan's side, she didn't know how many properties he owned. She only knew that in the hotel sector alone, in addition to the Qin Garden in front of her, there were several well-known brands that he was involved in.
After introducing Yu Nian's connections, Mrs. Huang took the initiative to ask Yu Nian out for coffee today. Yu Nian was quite surprised. She thought Mrs. Huang would prefer going to the teahouse.
Mrs. Huang ordered a cup of the coffee shop’s signature hawthorn caramel cappuccino, while Yu Nian ordered a simple latte.
It was obvious that Mrs. Huang didn't like drinking it, because after taking a sip, she frowned and said, "Why should I drink coffee when it's so sweet?"
I didn’t touch the cup of coffee after that.
Seeing this, Yu Nian ordered another cup of concentrated American style for Mrs. Huang. This time Mrs. Huang drank it quite comfortably. Yu Nian had a vague feeling that Mrs. Huang's invitation to her this time was not as simple as reminiscing about old times.
Mrs. Huang put down her coffee cup and said softly, "Now that my husband has a successful career and my children are not my concern, I should just go to these places like those wealthy ladies to buy and buy, or go get facials, or go in Sweating violently in the gym.”
"Mrs. Huang has maintained a good figure, and you got married early, so you are still very young even if your children are older, so the life of a rich lady is not suitable for you." Yu Nian said softly.
Huang Tai smiled, but there was a bitterness in his smile, "I didn't think anything of it before. When the Huang family was climbing up the ladder, I couldn't move my hands away. I would help Lao Huang manage the company, and I felt that my life was quite good. Bentou, now everyone in the company is in charge, and I have become a full-time housewife. Many people are envious and say that I made the right bet, and my life is really good. My natal family is rich, my husband's family is also powerful, and my children don't have to worry about it. I am just fine. A winner in life.”
"But Miss Yu, I'm only in my forties. If nothing else, I've only lived half of my life. What about the other half? Do I want to keep living like this?"
Yu Nian closed his eyes and took a sip of coffee, and said softly, "Actually, many rich ladies just live like this. After all, not many people dare to take risks. Even couples from ordinary families do not dare to fall apart easily."
Mrs. Huang looked at Yu Nian thoughtfully and asked after a long time, "Actually, you already know the purpose of my appointment today, right?"
The hotel she stayed in was in the east of the city, and the Financial Street was in the west. In Beishi, there is a saying that the east is rich and the west is expensive. Most of the rich people are gathered in the east, and most of the powerful people are gathered in the west city. This is the origin of the saying that the east is rich and the west is noble.
Yu Nian sighed softly, without nodding or shaking his head.
"The remaining half of your life is too risky. Who can guarantee that you will have peace of mind for the rest of your life?" Huang Tai changed the subject smartly. "Miss Yu, it's true that something happened to the Yu family. I don't want anything to happen to the Yu family, either as a collaborator or as a friend. But you have to look at the whole thing. If nothing happens to the Yu family, you won't be able to see how the world is in trouble. , all the people around you are good people, but in fact this society is not like that. Nowadays, you can grow up quickly and fight for what you want, which is actually a good thing."
Speaking of which, Mrs. Huang explained, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to take pleasure in others' misfortune."
"I understand." Yu Nian said softly.
Mrs. Huang is right. When she was the little princess of the Yu family, she was surrounded by good people. Those who came into contact with her and served her were all kind-hearted and had business dealings with the Yu family. The ladies are also kind to each other.
But something happened to the Yu family?
Only then did she realize what it means to be in a cold world.
"I have my mother-in-law as my backer, so my life is pretty easy. But in the end, you still have to rely on yourself. What others give you is not as good as what you have. If you want to have the initiative, you have to have it yourself." Huang Tai sighed lightly.
Yu Nian asked her, "Mrs. Huang wants to do something?"
Huang Tai smiled slightly, took a sip from the coffee cup, and turned to look out the window. After a while, he said, "If life is destined not to give you stability, then if you continue to lie flat, you will only be defeated by life."
Yu Nian noticed a touch of bitterness at the corner of Huang Tai's mouth, followed her gaze, and looked slightly startled.
Across the street, a man and woman entered the Qinyuan Hotel. The woman was very young and beautiful. She held the man's arm in a naive manner and kissed him passionately before entering the door.
Yu Nian couldn't see clearly what the man's expression was, but he was sure that he was absolutely enjoying himself. He was also holding several Hermès handbags in his other hand.
It is indeed enough to get a passionate kiss from a girl.
The man Yu Nian knew was Huang Jifa.
Yu Nian subconsciously looked at Mrs. Huang, but saw the calmness in Mrs. Huang's eyes, and instantly understood. Only after Huang Jifa and the woman entered the hotel did Mrs. Huang look back.
A cup of Americano, the real bitterness is probably in the heart.
"I heard that he is a student at the film school. He is a senior this year and a newcomer to the industry." Mrs. Huang always had a bitter taste in her mouth. "You already knew this, right?"
Yu Nian knew.
Ahzhou had found out about this matter before Mrs. Huang came to Beishi. Huang Jifa had hired a female college student in Beishi. In addition to doing business these few times in Beishi, he had spent time with the girl. It was obvious that Huang Jifa had a crush on the female student. I buy a lot of gifts, whatever is expensive.
She did not deny it in front of Mrs. Huang and nodded.
Mrs. Huang looked at her, "But you didn't tell me."
Yu Nian told the truth, "Although the scenery in Beishi is beautiful this season, Huang is afraid of the cold, so he likes to go to warm and humid places for vacation. Being able to come to Beishi must be for Mr. Huang's business. I don't need to do it in front of Mrs. Huang." Too much talk."
Mrs. Huang stared at her, her eyes were neither talking nor laughing, but she was also relieved, "You and Juanzhou have the courage and strategy in the mall, just like your father. In fact, you can use Huang Jifa's cheating incident to blackmail him into cooperation. The purpose, but you didn't do that. Not only did you not take advantage of the loophole, you also attached a bracelet. Don't you think the gain outweighs the loss?"
Yu Nian chuckled upon hearing this.
So Mrs. Huang has very poisonous eyes, and she is definitely not an empty-headed stay-at-home wife.
"We are aiming for long-term cooperation. We don't want to achieve the goal through temporary shortcuts and cause instability and suspicion in the future." Yu Nian said this sincerely, "If Mrs. Huang knows that we have used We have reached a cooperation through various means, I don’t think you will believe that we are sincere partners, right?”
Mrs. Huang nodded, that's true.
"But nowadays, many people do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."
Yu Nian said lightly, "We have achieved our goal, but what we can get is only immediate benefits, which is not suitable for our Yu family. Although the Yu family is in ruins now, its reputation is still there. The reputation of the Yu family is not obtained by playing tricks. "
As she spoke, she turned her eyes towards the direction of the hotel and continued, "The same goes for those young girls. There are always younger ones than them, right?"
Huang Tai sneered.
Yu Nian's eyes fell back on Mrs. Huang's face, "Marriage is sometimes the same as running a business. It depends on what you want, vested interests or long-term interests. In other words, the initiative now lies with Huang. In Tai's hands, how you want to fight depends on what you think, not on Mr. Huang."
Mrs. Huang smiled at the corner of her lips, but it was just out of courtesy. After a while, she said, "This is not the first time for Huang Ji. I could tell it was just for fun before, so I turned a blind eye. A business marriage is not an ordinary marriage. , once it is cut off, it will be a division of interests, which will definitely be a thorn in the side. This time..."
She didn't go on.
But Yu Nian understood what she meant.
Huang Jifa is serious this time, and Mrs. Huang must be prepared first, otherwise Huang Jifa will be at a disadvantage if Huang Jifa gets confused and wants a divorce.
"If Lao Huang and I are just an ordinary couple, then I can break in and catch them right now, and then kick Lao Huang, and I will be alone for the rest of my life. But a special marriage is different. I can't let Huang Jifa take us away. Everything in my parents’ house has been hollowed out,” Mrs. Huang said.
Having said this, she sneered again and pushed aside the cup of hawthorn caramel cappuccino she was holding next to her. "I heard that the little girl really likes to drink his coffee, but in my eyes, it's not good enough." Things are never valuable."
Yu Nian listened calmly. After Mrs. Huang finished speaking, she spoke, "Logically speaking, this is Mrs. Huang's family matter. They all say that family scandals should not be made public, but Mrs. Huang single-handedly dragged me into the game. Mrs. Huang is What do you need me to do?”
Her mother had told her since she was a child that you should not join in some fun, and you have to pay a price for joining in the fun, especially the fun in the rich circle. The more you know, the more you may be counterattacked.
Mrs. Huang is a person who lives a very transparent life. She is not a Xianglin sister-in-law, and she is not a woman who makes friends easily. She must have something to show for her wounds so directly.
"Miss Yu, you are very smart. You are right. I have something I need you to help me with, and only you can help me with this."
Huang Tai was straightforward, "To put it bluntly, I want to find an ally to face this matter together."
Yu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked briefly, "What did Mrs. Huang think?"
"This marriage has been dirty for a long time, so I don't want it anymore, but it can't be now. Although I have been prepared for a long time, I am not yet fully sure of the actual benefits. Huang Jifa relied on the power of our mother's family to get up, but these days After the Huang family went smoothly in 2007, he started to be wary of our parents' family, and he didn't let me get involved in the company's affairs."
Mrs. Huang's eyes were calm, "If it really comes to the point of falling apart, I will get my share back."
Yu Nian was smart, "What Mrs. Huang wants is something a divorce lawyer can't give, right?"
"I want to take back the shares I once owned, but it is not easy to do it. Now most of the Huang family's board of directors are people from Huang Jifa." Mrs. Huang said.
Yu Nian found the key point, "Is there anything else?"
Mrs. Huang nodded, "There are two shareholders who bought shares in the earliest years. Due to the entry of new forces, the two old shareholders have been marginalized and are in a semi-retired state."
"Mrs. Huang wants to take over their shares?"
Huang Tai nodded.
Yu Nian asked again, "How is the relationship between the two shareholders and Mrs. Huang's natal family?"
"Don't touch both sides." Mrs. Huang said, "Huang Jifa is a small-minded person. He eliminated all the shareholders who had relations with my mother's family in the early years. Although those two people are neither good people, they are also tabooed by Huang Jifa." .”
Yu Nian understood.
After a long time, she said, "Mrs. Huang asked me to be an ally. Are you flattering me? Now that I am weak and have no connections and no money, how can I help Mrs. Huang?"
"The fact that I can come to see Miss Yu means that you can help me with this. However, to put it bluntly, this matter will offend people. Miss Yu can think about it before replying to me. Of course, I sincerely hope to get Miss Yu's help." .”
Mrs. Huang said sincerely.
"But I have a small favor right now. If Miss Yu helps me, it will be a handy thing."
Yu Nian had already thought of it, "Do you want to check what happened to Mr. Huang in this hotel?"
"Yes." Mrs. Huang sincerely admired her intelligence and said softly, "The hotel is the Jiang family's property. Miss Yu can say a word or two in front of Master Yan, right?"
Although Yu Nian had been mentally prepared for it, it still felt unnatural when he heard the words "Young Master Yan". She had always been calm and composed during the conversation, but now, panic was rising in her heart.
"I exposed the family scandal to Miss Yu because I believed in Miss Yu's character. Don't blame me for speaking directly. I actually know that you and Mr. Yan are close." Huang Tai said softly.
Yu Nian's fingers holding the cup couldn't help but tremble. She raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Huang. Huang Tai sighed and gestured to his wrist, "This bracelet."
Yu Nian was stunned.
Mrs. Huang lowered her voice and said, "Perhaps due to your mother's influence, I really have been obsessed with the bracelet. After the Yu family's accident, the old house and all the Yu family's belongings were sealed up, and it took a long time for this bracelet to be put away. At the auction house, I actually intended to take the auction, but I didn’t expect that someone would beat me to it.”
She said word by word, "I asked insiders to inquire and the person who took the bracelet away is the Prince of Beijing, Young Master Yan."
Everyone said that this bracelet was something that Miss Mora took a fancy to, and it was not taken away by Master Yan the next day. This speed was quite impressive.
"It was less than 24 hours from when the bracelet was released to when it was taken away. I thought that Master Yan gave it to Mo La as a token of love, but I didn't expect that it would end up in Miss Yu's hands," said Mrs. Huang.
"Miss Yu, time is always precious to people like Mr. Yan. If he noticed this bracelet, he would have already made progress at every step. That's why I boldly asked Miss Yu for help."
Yu Nian smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Huang thinks I have some weight in Mr. Yan's heart?"
They are all smart people, and there is no need for her to use the guise that Jiang Nianyan is Jiang Ze's uncle.
Mrs. Huang's eyes were calm, "No matter what kind of relationship Miss Yu and Mr. Yan are in, the fact that he bothers you means that at least he is interested in you now, so I came to trouble Miss Yu."
It's not that it's a difficult matter, but Yu Nian really doesn't want to contact him unless necessary.
Mrs. Huang gently took her hand and said, "Miss Yu, when I decided to make you an ally, I already knew that I would owe you a huge favor."
Five minutes later, Yu Nian dialed Jiang Nianyan's phone number.
The other end of the phone was quiet, and Yu Nian didn't know where he was.
Just ask him in a routine manner, "Did I bother you?"
Jiang Nianyan said, "No, what's the matter?"
See, even he knew that she would never contact him if nothing happened. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Nian heard Maura's voice on the phone——
"Hurry up for the New Year's banquet. You are the only one missing from the table."
Yu Nian's words were immediately stuck in his throat.
I heard Jiang Nianyan say, "You guys start the banquet first, I have something to do here."
"Hey, the New Year's Eve banquet..."
Maura's voice was distant.
Jiang Nian Yan seemed to have moved to another place, so Yu Nian seemed to hear someone greeting Jiang Nian Yan, "Third Young Master."
Jiang Nianyan responded with a faint hum and asked Yu Nian what was going on. Yu Nian calmed down and briefly told him about Huang Jifa.
During this process, Jiang Nianyan kept listening. When Yu Nian finished speaking, he vaguely heard a "pop" on the other end of the phone.
It sounded like a cigarette being lit.
Sure enough, Jiang Nianyan seemed to be puffing out smoke when he opened his mouth and asked, "Qinyuan Hotel?"
Yu Nian thought to himself, it turns out he smokes.
She hummed, "It will take more than twenty minutes to go in."
Jiang Nianyan thought for a while, "Just ask whatever you want to ask, and I'll ask the person in charge of the hotel to contact you."
Yu Nian groaned, "Isn't this... not good?"
This is too obvious.
Jiang Nianyan was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, wait for my call."
Yu Nian said oh again, thinking that this was the best, otherwise it would cause criticism.
I don't want Jiang Nianyan to chuckle at the other end, "The person in charge of the hotel is single. I took the opportunity to ask for your contact information and had thoughts that I shouldn't have."
Yu Nianxin felt as if a hand had grabbed her head, and her breathing was suffocated, "You... don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Nianyan was not annoyed, and a slight smile came over him, "Wait for my call."
Yu Nian hummed, and after finishing the call, he thought that Maura must have been in the Jiang family's old house just now.
It's such a joy.
She chuckled softly.
Suddenly I felt that my behavior was quite shameful.
I feel bad in my heart, I don't know why.
She didn't go back indoors, but stood outside looking at the bustling financial street. As the lights began to turn on, neon signs and car lights gradually filled the city's bustle. This was not the time for dinner in a normal city, but it was in line with the Jiang family's habits.
The main reason is that Mrs. Jiang's work and rest schedule is very traditional. She almost always rises at sunrise and goes to bed at sunset. She doesn't eat after six o'clock in the evening and only eats two meals a day. Therefore, the Jiang family's dinner is usually served before six o'clock. Finish.
This is an unbreakable rule. Whenever you visit the Jiang family, you must abide by the Jiang family's schedule. The Jiang family will never break this rule because of anyone.
So even if it's the Mora family, doesn't it still have to follow Mrs. Jiang's habits? It only shows that the Mora family really wants to promote this relationship, and it also shows that they are quite satisfied with Jiang Nianyan, their son-in-law.
Yu Nian took a deep breath and looked at the luxury cars and figures entering and exiting high-end shopping malls. For a moment, she felt that the glitz of this world seemed far away from her.
Yu Juanzhou called and knew she was with Mrs. Huang, so he laughed and said, "Are you paving the way for the future? Although Mrs. Huang has many connections, her focus is at home after all."
Yu Nian found a quiet place and lowered his voice and said, "I'm opposite the Qinyuan Hotel. Mrs. Huang pulled me over."
Yu Juanzhou was so smart, he understood it immediately.
After a long time, he said, "My suggestion is not to participate, but maybe you have your own ideas, and I will support you in whatever you do."
Yu Nian sighed, "I'll think about it again."
But in fact, from the moment she called Jiang Nianyan, she had become Mrs. Huang's ally. The road was quite long, and she couldn't predict what the future would bring.
The two chatted briefly for a while, and then a call came in. Yu Nian thought it was Jiang Nian Banquet, but when he saw it was Qiao Min on the screen, he let out a sigh.
Yu Juanzhou thought something had happened to her and asked her what was wrong.
She hung up Qiao Min's call and asked Yu Juanzhou, "Are you free tonight?"
Yu Juanzhou smiled and asked, "Yes, what do you want to eat? I will take you to eat."
"Mrs. Huang and I are together. We must have dinner together." Yu Nian said, "If you have time, do me a favor."
Jiang Nianyan's call came after Qiao Min. Yu Nian didn't finish explaining something to Yu Juanzhou, so he hung up Jiang Nianyan's call first. After a while, he called again, and Yu Nian happened to be talking to Yu Juanzhou. After Zhou finished speaking, the call was connected.
Jiang Nian Banquet, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"
Not displeased, but obviously very strong.
Yu Nian told him it was Yu Juanzhou, and Jiang Nianyan was silent for a moment before speaking again without saying anything unnecessary. "Huang Jifa has reserved a room in Qinyuan for a long time."
