Grand Hyatt Mansion, 1201.
Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan have returned home.
In the morning, after eating, Gu Jia took out all the clothes they had worn during their business trip and said to the nanny at home: "Sister Chen, help me take these clothes to the dry cleaners."
"OK."
The nanny responded and briefly arranged the clothes Gu Jia took out, and found that there were many things in the pockets of the clothes. "How come there are so many things that haven't been taken out?"
"Our Huanshan family is like this. We never know how to dig out our pockets." Gu Jia said with a smile.
The nanny took out a shopping receipt from the pocket of Xu Huanshan's pants, put it on the table with other things, and then left with the dirty clothes.
Gu Jia's eyes fell on the receipt on the table and found that it was a receipt for purchasing a double portion of ice cream. A look of confusion flashed across his face. But for her, the most important issue at the moment was the tea factory, and she had no intention of caring about other things.
"Honey, I'm going to the company." Xu Huanshan came out of the bathroom and said to Gu Jia.
"Okay." Gu Jia came over and helped him straighten his collar.
"Why, you look worried and still thinking about the tea factory? Do you not know how to talk to Mr. Yang? Do you want me to go with you?" Xu Huanshan said.
"No need." Gu Jia shook his head quickly, "You can just concentrate on the company's affairs. I will take care of the tea factory matters."
"Okay, my wife is so powerful, there must be no problem. Then I'll go to the company first!" Xu Huanshan said with a smile.
"Go." Gu Jia sent him out with a smile.
After Xu Huanshan left, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Yang Chen's number.
On the other side, Yang Chen was driving Li Shiqing to school when his cell phone placed on the car holder suddenly rang.
"Your phone is ringing." Li Shiqing said.
Yang Chen took a glance and saw that the caller was Gu Jia, so he pressed the call button.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, are you at home now?" Gu Jia's voice came from the mobile phone.
"What's wrong?" Yang Chen said casually.
"There are some problems at the tea factory. I need to discuss it with you." Gu Jiada said.
"Tea factory? I understand..." After hearing Gu Jia's words, Yang Chen probably guessed what was going on, "Well, I'm outside now and will be home around ten o'clock. Let's meet and talk later."
"Okay, I'll go find you at half past ten." Gu Jia said.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen explained to Li Shiqing: "This is one of my neighbors downstairs. Their family is in the fireworks business. She wanted to take over a tea factory in western Hunan before, but she didn't have enough money on hand, so she came to me. Borrowing money. I saw that her ability to do things was pretty good, and the money she needed was not much, so I invested in one share. From what she said, there seemed to be something wrong with the tea factory."
"If you have anything to do, go back first. I can go to school by myself." Li Shiqing said with concern.
"It's okay. I didn't invest much, only a few hundred thousand, so it doesn't matter if I lose all of it." Yang Chen said.
"That's not possible. Your money didn't come from the strong wind. How could you lose it casually? Besides, who knows if they set a trap to trap you on purpose. You must ask clearly." Li Shiqing looked better than Yang Chen Still need to care.
"Okay, what our family says about poetry is correct, and we all listen to you." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"I'll just say whatever I want, you don't have to listen to me." Li Shiqing felt a little embarrassed.
After sending Li Shiqing to school, Yang Chen returned to Junyue Mansion.
…
Half past ten.
Gu Jia came to 1601 with a plate of cakes.
"Thank you, what happened to the tea factory?" Yang Chen took the cake and asked calmly.
"Mr. Yang, it's like this..."
Gu Jia told Yang Chen everything about how she found out about the accident at the tea factory and what she saw during the field inspection in western Hunan. "Originally, I planned to close the tea factory directly, but thinking about the children living in the mountains, I couldn't make this decision anyway."
"The organic label has expired, the product is being sued, and productivity is seriously insufficient... this is a big pitfall," Yang Chen said.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that Mrs. Li's eating party would be so ugly. She even gave up her face for a tea factory!" When mentioning Mrs. Li, Gu Jia's tone was full of resentment and disdain, and at the same time there was a deep feeling. Deep self-blame. "It's also my fault that I trusted Mrs. Li too much and signed the contract hastily without checking it thoroughly. Now I can only admit that I am unlucky."
"You don't need to be too angry. No circle in this world is completely clean. When you treat the wife circle as a gold mine and take everything you want, you should have thought that such a day would come." Yang Chen said calmly.
"Yes, there is no free lunch in the world. I have never understood such a simple truth." Gu Jia sighed.
"I already understand the situation in the tea factory, what else do you have to do?" Yang Chen asked again.
"Mr. Yang, I came to you this time to ask for two things. The first is about the gambling agreement. In fact, I signed this agreement without telling Huan Shan and I have never mentioned it to him. I I hope you can forgive me for a while, and when the tea factory becomes profitable, I will definitely repay you the principal with interest." Gu Jia said very sincerely.
"Haha, according to the terms of the gambling agreement, if the tea factory does not make profits as scheduled, you need to return all my investment and pay liquidated damages, totaling more than two million yuan..." Yang Chen smiled lightly and said noncommittally: "What about the second thing?"
"The second thing..." Gu Jia paused and lowered his attitude and said, "Given the current situation of the tea factory, it will require a large sum of money to resume production. Can Mr. Yang invest again? Just treat it as a For the children in those villages.”
"Do you think of me as a charity?" Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, with a sneer on his face.
"No, Mr. Yang, I definitely don't mean this. Please believe me, as long as you get through this difficulty, this tea factory will definitely bring you generous returns." Gu Jia promised.
"Believe you? I believed you before and invested a lot of money, but what's the result? With the lessons learned from the past, how can I trust you again?" Yang Chen said.
Gu Jia opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
"How much will it cost to resume production in the tea factory?" Yang Chen suddenly asked again.
"The fine for expired organic labels and the funds required for subsequent production are about three million." Seeing Yang Chen's tone of voice, Gu Jia said immediately.
"Is three million enough? According to what you said before, three million can only allow the tea factory to resume production. If you want to make money, three million should not be enough. The reason why Mrs. Li transferred the tea factory to you was It must be because it doesn't make money, not because it's trying to trick you. The tea factory can't make money in Mrs. Li's hands, so how can it make money in your hands?" Yang Chen said.
"This is different. Mrs. Li's family has many businesses. She doesn't care about the tea factory at all, which makes the tea factory's business worse and worse. But I am different. I will run the tea factory as the most important business and invest in it. All the energy..." Gu Jia vowed.
"What you are saying now seems to me to be nonsense. I also own an investment company, and many people come here with project documents every day looking for investment. Among them, the stories told are more beautiful than yours. There are a lot of people out there. There are not a few who are in a more miserable situation than you. There are countless people who are more sincere and more determined than you. Some people even want to stab themselves twice on the spot to show their determination... Why should I? How about investing in you?" Yang Chen asked.
"But what I said is true. You can go to the tea factory and see for yourself. The tea there is all natural and handmade without any pollution..." Gu Jia said dryly.
"Enough, the word 'pure natural' is almost overused now. Tell me, which tea manufacturer produces tea that is not pure natural? Well, even if you say that the geographical environment of the deep mountains in Western Hunan is unique, but Nuo Da Is there only one village that grows tea in the mountainous area of Xiangxi? Is there no other tea factory within a hundred miles? And you are a novice. Others have been running tea factories for many years and have more experience than you. Why should I invest? You, don't choose them?" Yang Chen interrupted her and gave her a fatal blow.
"I……"
After hearing Yang Chen's words, Gu Jia's mentality almost collapsed and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Of course, it's not impossible for me to invest. But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You just said this, so I don't need to explain it anymore." Yang Chen changed his words, and a look of seriousness appeared on his face. A meaningful smile.
"What...what do you mean?" Gu Jia suddenly became alert.
"My purpose has always been obvious, and I have never even concealed it. You are so smart, it is impossible not to feel it. However, you come to me again and again, which shows that deep down in your heart, you are actually against me. This matter is not very resistive. Haha, don't be nervous. A gentleman loves sex in a proper way. I won't force you." Yang Chen smiled, then took out an envelope and threw it in front of Gu Jia, "Yes Yes, I have something for you, please take a look."
Gu Jia opened the envelope and found a stack of photos inside.
The protagonist of the photo is Xu Huanshan. He and a girl are eating an ice cream together, and the smile on his face is very rippling.
Seeing the photo, Gu Jia's expression couldn't help but change. She thought of the shopping receipt that she took out from Xu Huanshan's pocket, and her expression suddenly became ugly.
After a few seconds of silence, she put the photo down, then looked up at Yang Chen, "There are so many women in the world, why do you have to look for me?"
"In my opinion, every woman is different and has her own unique charm. Just like you, it can arouse a man's desire to conquer." Yang Chen looked at her with admiration.
"You don't have to answer me now. You can go back and think about it first, and then give me an answer after you think about it clearly."
…
In the afternoon, Gu Jia went to the fireworks company.
Xu Huanshan is having a meeting in the office.
Gu Jia took a look from outside and did not go in to look for him.
"Sister Jia, you're here." An employee passed by and said hello to Gu Jia.
"Yeah." Gu Jia nodded.
"By the way, Sister Jia, Mr. Xu's travel expenses to the capital a few days ago have not been reimbursed yet," the employee said.
"I've packed it for him a long time ago. I guess he forgot it again. Come here and get it with me."
"OK."
Gu Jia took the employees to Xu Huanshan's office, took out a stack of bills from his drawer, and handed them to the employees.
While taking the bill, she also found a small Buzz Lightyear doll in the drawer.
Gu Jia looked at this little doll and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Half an hour later.
Xu Huanshan returned to the office after the meeting.
"Honey, why are you here? Have you told Mr. Yang about the tea factory?"
"I've already said it. He said he should think about it before deciding whether to invest."
"Investment is not a trivial matter after all, and you should be cautious. Wife, don't worry, even if he doesn't invest, he still has me, and I will fully support you."
Gu Jia lied. Maybe women are talented in this area, and Xu Huanshan didn't notice it at all.
"Thank you, husband. By the way, when I was sorting out your reimbursement receipts, I discovered that you were hiding a little hero." Gu Jia changed the subject and took out the Buzz Lightyear doll.
"Where did you find it? Did I buy it?" Xu Huanshan couldn't help but was startled. He looked confused at first, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, I remembered, it was my first time to go to the park to run business. At that time, I bought a lot of toys for my son, but they were left in my bag. I guess I just threw them in the drawer."
"I didn't say I found it in the drawer." Gu Jia said with a smile while looking at Xu Huanshan with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Aren't you helping me find the tickets? The tickets are all in the drawer. What do you mean by your tone?" Xu Huanshan's brain turned rapidly and he quickly made up a reason, and then asked in a joking tone. .
"nothing."
Gu Jia smiled. She knew Xu Huanshan very well and could already see many problems from his reaction.
What happened between him and that little girl was probably true.
But the most important thing now is the tea factory, and it's not the time for a showdown with Xu Huanshan.
after get off work.
Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan took the car home.
On the way, when passing an ice cream shop with a long queue, Gu Jia said nonchalantly: "What kind of ice cream is this? There is such a long queue, but I don't know if it is delicious?"
"It's too sweet, you won't like it." Xu Huanshan said.
"Have you eaten it?" Gu Jia asked tentatively.
"After eating it, someone from the amusement park in the city bought it for me. They said it would let me experience the love of young people." Xu Huanshan seemed to have guessed that Gu Jia would ask this question, and had already laid the groundwork for it.
"Waiting in such a long line to buy it for you?" Gu Jia said.
"I didn't know there was such a long queue, so I just took two bites and threw it away." Xu Huanshan said casually.
"I sent the clothes out for dry cleaning this morning and found a receipt in your pocket. I thought you were dating some girl." Gu Jia said with a smile.
"Why is the receipt in my pocket?" Xu Huanshan looked like he didn't know what was going on.
"Mr. Xu, you don't understand human accidents. People like us usually wait for the boss to reimburse us when we do this kind of thing." Chen Xu, who was driving, rounded up Xu Huanshan.
"Oh, that's what it means. That's because my reaction was too slow." Xu Huanshan smiled and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had successfully passed the test.
But he didn't know that at this moment, Gu Jia had other thoughts in his mind.
