Having made her words clear, Wan Meiling stopped doing Tai Chi.
She said in a deep voice: "I am a little strapped for funds now. Mr. Gu, I would like to borrow some money from you to tide over the difficulties."
"Not much, just five million."
Five million is not much?
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Wan really thinks highly of me. The working capital of this daily chemical factory is only a few hundred thousand, and you just asked for five million. I really don't have any."
Even if there was one, he wouldn't lend it out. Not to mention that the other party was an old classmate of more than ten years. How could anyone be reliable these days?
Hearing this, Wan Meiling's face changed slightly. She really didn't expect that the other party would reject it so quickly. Even if she didn't want to borrow it, couldn't you say some kind words?
Wu Qi on the side sighed and said, "Gu Chen, we have been old friends for many years. Isn't five million worth talking to you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen looked at him inexplicably. He had been a friend for many years and couldn't ask for five million, right? If he still talks like that, who owes him?
Even Wan Meiling couldn't lose her face. Where did this person get the courage to say this? No matter how shameless she is, she relies on her own charm.
Looking at Wu Qi, she had no expression on her face.
And Wu Qi still felt complacent. He felt that Gu Chen would definitely be the same as before, the kind of person who would do whatever he said. At least he would listen to his suggestions and give him some face.
However.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Wu Qi, we are old classmates and old friends, but there is something I have to tell you. I can lend you this money if I can, but if I don't, there's nothing I can do about it."
"You all know that the company has opened many projects, not to mention my daily chemical factory, but also the blanket factory and bicycle factory. The monthly costs are quite a lot."
"When I buy the goods, I don't pay for them right away. They give them in batches. Do you think I have much money left after one batch?"
That's what the words say, and that's the truth.
But the two people in front of them didn't understand, nor did they want to understand.
"Gu Chen, what do you mean by telling me this?" Wu Qi's face became a little ugly and he continued: "The relationship between us is not worth five million?"
not worth.
Gu Chen just wanted to say it wasn't worth it.
But Wu Qi, if you say he has no ability, his father holds an important position, so it would be very unpleasant if he was wearing small shoes behind his back.
The last time the company was investigated by the procuratorate, although nothing was found, it affected my mood very much.
He smiled and said nothing. His meaning was obvious, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Wu Qi slapped the table and stood up. Just as he was about to say something, Wan Meiling stopped him.
"What are you doing? Sit down!" Wan Meiling glared at him displeased.
Incompetent bungler!
Even if we don't reach an agreement today, it doesn't mean there won't be opportunities in the future. What does this mean?
The road ahead is blocked!
"Mr. Gu, Wu Qi doesn't have any bad intentions, he just speaks too bluntly. He doesn't mean anything else. Don't make it unpleasant because of me. Then I will arrange for you to have dinner next time." Wan Meiling smoothed things over with a smile.
I have to say that she is very good at communication.
This incident started because of her, but it was Wu Qi who spoke too much. In the end, she took the blame on herself and could use Wu Qi's relationship to contact her again in the future.
And Gu Chen didn't really want to fall out with him. One was because he didn't take Wu Qi seriously, and the other was that he didn't want to be stuck in the shoes when the company was just starting out.
The meal was very unpleasant and ended awkwardly.
Standing in front of the window, Gu Chen looked at the car leaving downstairs, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
It is not easy to forget how Wu Qi treated him in the past. Every man has his own self-esteem.
In the past, Gu Chen had no background, but now he is different. Being looked down upon by others was just in the past.
Sitting in the car, Wu Qi looked out the window with a gloomy face. Although Wan Meiling had just resolved the embarrassment, he was still very unhappy.
Because Gu Chen didn't regard him as a friend at all, or even
Didn't take it seriously.
This made Wu Qi, who used to be so arrogant in front of Gu Chen, very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Wan Meiling asked without looking at him.
Wu Qi didn't dare to vent his anger on her, so he sighed and replied: "It's okay, I can't help you get anything done today, I'm sorry."
What is this person thinking? Does Wan Meiling know?
"Okay, forget it, we'll talk about it later." She said casually and continued driving.
In the evening, when Shen Man came home from get off work, the two of them went back upstairs to talk about the incident after dinner.
She looked at Gu Chen and said, "Going to your place? How much money can I borrow from you?"
"It sounds like you were the one they went to first?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and continued: "I didn't borrow it. We don't have any friendship. I was worried that they wouldn't pay back the 350,000 yuan. This mouthful is 5 million. It’s so scary.”
"Five million?" Shen Man smacked his lips, "These two people treat us as a free bank? I'm really impressed, what are you thinking?"
If anyone who can lend you three thousand or two thousand in this era thanks to his old classmates is a dead brother.
Money is so real these days.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with me. They came and broke into the office directly this time, otherwise I wouldn't let them in through the door."
Shen Man believed it and nodded: "It's best to stay out of their affairs from now on, otherwise they will cause trouble."
You haven't taken care of your own affairs yet, so how can you care about others?
Especially this Wan Meiling, competing with her for the development project in Jicheng, this is obviously a hostile relationship.
But a few days later, Shen Man received another notice that someone was causing trouble in the East District development.
She had never thought of having a relationship with Wan Meiling before. After all, the other party's family background made it impossible for her to use such means.
No matter how profitable Jicheng's project is, it won't be as profitable for their company.
But thinking of so many things in the past, Shen Man thought that these things must be related to Wan Meiling.
"Qiangzi, go and investigate." She put down the document in her hand and looked out the window.
Liu Huaqiang nodded solemnly. He also believed that a hostile competitor was responsible for the trouble, but he could not draw a conclusion casually until the matter was investigated clearly.
Some things are best left to wait until the truth comes out.
"Mr. Shen, the demolition in the East District is currently proceeding normally. Among them, 360 households are staying to prepare to be divided into houses, and the housing subsidies have been subsidized. 130 households have gone to the West District, and the rest have been subsidized with money for demolition. "
The most difficult thing to do in the East District is the area facing the street, the commercial area near the department store.
In fact, Shen Man didn't want to move, but since he was in her hands, he had to bite the bullet.
"The merchants here are all public properties, and three of them are private properties. Their condition is to pay 600 per square meter, and then return the building according to the square meter."
At this point, Liu Huaqiang was so angry that he could not speak.
These people are simply crazy. How can there be a compensation of 600 yuan? Unless these people don't want the house.
