Chapter 287 Head-to-head confrontation
More than two hours later, Gu Zuoshan excitedly knocked on Wen Lan's hotel room door.
"Why are you sweating so much?" Wen Lan handed him some tissues.
"Give me some water." Gu Zuoshan didn't show any temper of a rich young master in front of Wen Lan.
"Here, the temperature is just right." Wen Lan handed him her cup of water.
He drank it all in one gulp. "More."
"Okay, okay, I'll leave it there for you."
Who could have thought that in such a shabby hotel in a small county town, the eldest son of Yujing Real Estate and the hostess of the IELTS Group would be talking about such trivial things.
"I have found a house." Gu Zuoshan said lightly.
"Huh? So smooth!" Wen Lan was a little surprised.
"It's on the same floor as Xiao Chen's. His building has three households per floor, right? I'm looking for the other two households on the same floor. And the one below Xiao Chen."
"What did you say? You found three sets in total? And they're so close? How is that possible?" Wen Lan was greatly surprised at this time. How could things be so smooth?
"Why would I lie to you? One unit is 138 square meters and is for Aunt Zhou. The other unit is 108 square meters and is for my family. The one downstairs is for other people." He was very thoughtful.
"Who are the others? Is the house unfinished?" Wen Lan asked.
"Other people, such as caregivers, nannies and so on." Gu Zuoshan and Nan Yunshang had discussed that they would arrange for a personal secretary, driver and bodyguard to come.
“You are so attentive!”
"Oh, by the way, the house is not rough, but fully decorated, and it has been vacant for several months. I took a test and the formaldehyde content is not excessive."
"My God, you have accomplished so much in such a short time. You are worthy of it!" Wen Lan praised. "But, how come it is such a coincidence that all three houses are for rent?"
"Rent it out? I bought it." Gu Zuoshan began to drink his second glass of water. "I used Yasi's name, and someone will follow up on the property rights procedures. You don't have to worry about it!"
"Bought it?" she was surprised.
"Yes, they are all newly renovated houses. Although the decoration taste is a bit hard to describe, I have already replaced all the furniture. It is my place, my home after all. It should be done tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"You bought someone else's house?" She gasped.
"What's wrong? No?"
"Great! You're awesome!" Wen Lan smiled. Gu Zuoshan must have raised the price quite a bit so that the neighbors would sell the house to him without hesitation.
"How much did it cost?" Wen Lan asked him.
"It's just a few million. You don't want to pay me back, do you?" He joked, then deliberately changed the subject. "Let me remind you, you said you would treat me to a meal at your home, but you haven't done it yet."
"Gu Zuoshan, I..." Wen Lan wanted to tell him about her breakup with Bu Yufan.
"Okay, say thank you again, or I'll get angry." Gu Zuoshan stopped her from continuing. He guessed that Wen Lan wanted to talk about their breakup.
At the same time, Bu Yufan was in Southeast Asia, and Xie Peng once again mentioned his breakup with Wen Lan.
"President Bu, if Wen Lan knew that Ya Si would lose the cruise carnival night plan she proposed, she would probably be very disappointed, right?"
"Mr. Xie, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that it was my ex-wife who proposed the plan for this carnival night." Bu Yufan's reply was flawless and calm.
"So, President Bu mobilized so much money from China to Southeast Asia to compete with me for the dock project, not just for the cruise ship carnival night?"
"Kegli joined in the middle of the project and wanted to compete with Yasi for the right to develop the wharf. Today's competitive negotiations were also facilitated by Mr. Xie, and he must have paid a lot of price. So I think besides me, you are the one who understands the significance of this project best."
"Bu Yufan, why do you have to mock me like that? It's just business."
"Xie Peng, you've gone to so much trouble just to kill me. If I really give you the development rights of the pier, IELTS's first hotel in Southeast Asia will be finished."
They laid it out on the table.
"You have to thank your ex-wife for this. If it weren't for Wen Lan, I wouldn't have thought of this idea." Xie Peng laughed.
"Isn't it too early for you to say thank you?" How could Xie Peng possibly understand Bu Yufan and Wen Lan's real business strategy?
However, Xie Peng obviously misunderstood this sentence.
"Bu Yufan, although I am not as wealthy and powerful as you, our Xie family has roots in Southeast Asia." Xie Peng's expression became serious.
"It's natural. Not only does it have a connection, it also has a background." Bu Yufan did the opposite. The more serious Xie Peng was, the more confident he felt.
"Who are you from?" Xie Peng found this very irritating.
"However, wouldn't it be enough for you, Mr. Xie, to personally preside over a mere competitive negotiation?" Bu Yufan raised his eyebrows, with a mocking look on his face. "Mr. Xie, you've been busy for most of your life, and you haven't retired yet!"
"Mr. Xie?" Xie Peng's face suddenly changed when he heard these four words.
As soon as he said this, Bu Yufan turned sideways to give Xie Peng a clear view.
Xie Peng's gaze naturally fell behind him.
"Xie Yang?" Xie Peng saw the disgusting figure walking in with difficulty, leaning on a cane.
"That's strange! You don't call me Dad, but instead call your father by his name." Bu Yufan had long known that there was a rift between this father and son.
It was more than just a rift. There was a chasm and a rift between Xie Peng and Xie Yang. They were sworn enemies.
"Bu Yufan? You!"
"Hey, don't get me wrong. Your father did all these things just to help you. Besides, I didn't invite him here!"
"You've done so many things? What do you mean by that?" The corners of Xie Peng's mouth twitched slightly because of his hatred for Xie Yang.
"What do you mean?" Bu Yufan laughed.
But this fleeting smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Xie Peng, if you dare to do something, you must dare to take responsibility. If you want to snatch something from me, you have to put forward bargaining chips. Otherwise, you are overestimating your own abilities!" He was deliberately provoking him.
Xie Yang's walking stick tapped on the marble floor tiles again and again. The cold, mechanical sound came from far away and then got closer.
"Is this the president of IELTS, Mr. Bu Yufan?" Xie Yang's voice sounded behind them. He stretched out a hand, the bones of which were deformed, like a dead leaf.
"Mr. Xie, has your rheumatoid arthritis been acting up frequently lately?" Bu Yufan asked this, but did not shake hands with Xie Yang.
"President Bu is indeed not an ordinary person. He can see the big picture from the small details." Xie Yang's eyes were deep.
"Mr. Xie, it's not as complicated as you think to find out your background or the background of your Xie family. It's a very common thing that can be solved by spending some money!"
Bu Yufan confronted this old fox head-on, and his frank words embarrassed Xie Yang and Xie Peng, father and son.
