Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1734: Chapter 1732-not earning enough

“I feel like daddy’s acting a little weird today. Before this, he kept a respectful distance from an Jianwen’s family, but now he’s working with them again.” Mengyao grumbled after getting in the car. After all, she had more chances to meet an Jianwen now. It was troublesome to deal with him.

“I’ve heard of a saying before, but I’m not sure if it’s true. It says that in the business world, there are never real opponents or friends. As long as there are common interests, opponents can also become friends.” “I wonder if that’s the case for uncle Chu?” Tang Yin asked.

“I think so. Daddy’s really good at doing business.” Chu Mengyao nodded. There were too many cases like this. Many companies that were suing each other became strategic partners in the blink of an eye, so Chu pengzhan and an Mingyue’s cooperation wasn’t a surprise.

“We’ll see, uncle Chu should know what he’s doing,” Lin Yi said.

Chu Mengyao nodded and didn’t say anything.

After they got home, they packed their bags and accompanied Lin Yi back to the village. Of course, they were going to go shopping crazily before they left. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the provisions and fodder move first. This was the logic.

Mengyao decided to buy some stuff and send them back first, to avoid the awkwardness of not having anything.

It was still early today, so Mengyao and the others went to the supermarket.

In the supermarket, Tang Yin was a little worried. She was like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws-she’d been with Lin Yi for so long, and she hadn’t even visited his elders yet. Would the old Lin who raised him like her?

Besides, Tang Yun wanted to buy some gifts, but she didn’t know what to buy. She held Chu Mengyao’s hand and asked hesitantly,””Yaoyao, what do you think I should buy? Lin Yi said he didn’t need to buy anything, but it was still a gift, wasn’t it? If I really go to the house without bringing anything, will people think that I’m insensible?”

…

“Well … We have to buy it, but I can’t say what to buy since I don’t know what Grandpa Lin likes …” Mengyao was in a difficult position.

“Old man, it’s probably just that he likes to drink. Why don’t we buy some good wine and bring it back?” “My Grandpa likes to drink ……” Yushu suggested.

“That’s fine. I think the elders usually give these things …” Chu Mengyao said,””Daddy always brings these things with him when he goes to grandpa’s house …”

“Then we’ll buy a bar … But what should we buy?” Tang Yin hesitated, not sure what to buy.

“Maybe we should ask Lin Yi? He knows it best. ” Chu Mengyao couldn’t make up her mind.

Lin Yi didn’t go shopping with the girls-he left the bodyguard job to Chentian, who’d just returned to Songshan, and went to where the orphanage was.

It was an old residential area, similar to where Chen Zhao’s family lived. The top floor of each building was a loft with six and seven floors. It looked like a duplex, but because these buildings had been built for so long, the condition of the top floor was very poor. Leaking was a common thing. The landlord also rented it out cheap, so he wouldn’t be responsible for maintenance.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw this condition. It was really hard on these kids, and that miser Yu Xiaoke! However, no matter how miserly or stingy she was, she still lived in such a place because she was unwilling to spend so much money on building an orphanage. How could she live when the money was used up?

Li Cihua and elder Zhu came to a simple agreement with the Dean-they would use a piece of land five times bigger than the original to exchange for the orphanage’s land! It seemed like the orphanage had gotten a big advantage, but that was not the case. The newly exchanged land was in a very remote location, at the edge of the city, which was already in the vicinity of the suburbs. The price of the land was much lower than the orphanage ‘s.

The difference of five times wasn’t an exaggeration, but the problem was that li Cihua only calculated the land price and didn’t include the orphanage’s original house!

Li Cihua’s reason was simple-the house was burnt down, how could he give you compensation? Using land of equal value to exchange for it was perfectly justified and fair!

Although the old principal was a little unwilling, she had no other choice now that the house was gone and she had no more bargaining chips in her hands. She would just let them do what they wanted! Cihua didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so he didn’t let the orphanage suffer any losses when he exchanged the land.

The main problem was that the orphanage had a huge piece of land but had no money to build it. This was the most fatal thing!

Cihua and boss Zhu were about to claim credit when they saw the scene of destruction and Zhao Qibing sitting in a car not far away.

Li Cihua jumped in shock and ran to the car in a hurry,”Master Bing, what’s wrong? Did the bar catch on fire?”

“En,” Qibing replied faintly. The humiliation didn’t allow him to explain too much, and he waited here for elder bi to come and heal him. If it wasn’t for elder bi not being able to find another place, Cihua wouldn’t have been able to see him.

“Ah? What’s going on?” Cihua asked.

Because elder bi was coming soon, Qibing didn’t want to explain, “It’s nothing … How’s everything going on your end?”

“Congratulations, master Bing! The old Dean of the orphanage finally gave in after being threatened and tempted by me and boss Zhu, and agreed to exchange the land with us. Now, the land is ours!” Cihua said quickly. Although the two pieces of land were about the same in value, Cihua was still the one who got the better end of the deal!

The piece of land in the suburbs wasn’t of much use to Cihua, and people wouldn’t buy it even if they wanted to build a house. People would only buy it if they wanted to build a factory or something, but that was a rare situation. The land was useless to Cihua for the time being, and it was a great deal to give it to the orphanage.

“Congratulations, my ass!” Zhao Qibing heard li Cihua’s words and finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Ah? “Master Bing, we’re actually getting the better end of the deal … That piece of land is priceless, no one wants it …” Cihua said carefully.

“Take advantage? I paid two hundred million to Lin Yi for this fire! Look, Lin Yi broke my leg again, and he even burned down the bar!” Qibing said,”tell me, I ate all the way to the Pacific Ocean!” You’re still taking advantage of me?” (To be continued.)
