The air is very dry, and the smell of incense makes people feel dizzy.
Zhou Yuerong shook the tea cup gently, and his voice was like a misty country tune. The first sentence he spoke shocked Yang Bei: "My father is a smuggler."
Forty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, except for some wealthy families, most of the wealthy people in China were born during this period.
The same goes for the Zhou family.
But it’s different: eighteen years ago, when Zhou Yuerong was still studying, his family went bankrupt.
Zhou Yuerong's father started his business by smuggling television parts, and his business was quite large in Jiangzhou.
Later, he came to shore with a clear conscience and started a building materials business.
As a result, within a few days of normal life, the higher-ups began to clear things up.
After finding out the amount of Zhou family's smuggling, all the Zhou family's property was frozen and confiscated.
Zhou Yuerong's father was also imprisoned, and she and her mother have been living a life of debt collection ever since.
"There was no other way. In order to survive, I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory."
"When I was seventeen years old, the factory owner showed his attentiveness to me. I was young at that time, and I was deceived by sugar-coated bullets and deceived by him."
"He promised well at first and said he would marry me, but in the end he just lied to me."
"Since then, I have learned not to trust others easily. Maybe God opened his eyes, the factory owner had a car accident and the factory closed down, but I got a lot of benefits because I knew some of his secrets."
"After that, I started my own business. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I opened an illegal shop in the red light district at first, but I also gained a lot of contacts and started making building materials, until now."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuerong paused, raised his head and smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't my story boring?"
Because she noticed that Yang Bei had been looking around absentmindedly, dragging his cheeks and occasionally yawning. Yang Bei shrugged: "Yes, there are many people in society who have experienced something like yours.
It’s not enough to impress others.”
Zhou Yuerong smiled, then lowered his head and said, "I don't mean to be pitiful, I just want to tell you why I invited you here."
"Then you are really slow to get to the point. Tell me."
Yang Bei picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. Then he saw Zhou Yuerong take out his mobile phone, open the picture and put it on the table: "I want to go back to this land."
Yang Bei was stunned and looked at the picture.
The picture shows a large warehouse, which looks very large, but it is not in an urban area.
Yang Bei blinked, really confused: "If you want the land, you need the land. What does it have to do with me? Are you going to find the owner of the land?"
"I went to find it, but they didn't agree."
Zhou Yuerong sighed: "This land belongs to Longhui Group——"
After she said this, Yang Bei knew what she meant. Sure enough, Zhou Yuerong told him that this land was in Jiang Daochuan's hands.
She originally wanted to buy it, but Jiang Daochuan had already contracted it to someone else.
Zhou Yuerong also begged Jiang Daochuan earnestly, but Jiang Daochuan just refused to agree and allowed Zhou Yuerong to offer a price that was much higher than the market price.
"Mr. Jiang told me that the person who contracted the land was his friend. He had already promised to go out and could not change his promise."
Zhou Yuerong smiled bitterly: "You should be able to guess it, because I once opened that kind of store, and it didn't have a good reputation in the circle."
Yang Bei wanted to roll his eyes.
I thought to myself, "Have you ever opened a shop like that before? Even the ridiculous club now is not much different from a brothel."
But Zhou Yuerong was right, this did give her a bad reputation.
There are two young rich women in Jiangzhou who are very famous, they are she and Shen Hongyan.
When everyone mentions Shen Hongyan, they give a thumbs up, saying that she took over her late father's business and is a strong woman who is self-reliant.
But when Zhou Yuerong is mentioned, everyone will show an ambiguous smile: Zhou Yuerong, that pimp——
The two of them had been eager to follow me before, just to see what the pimp's company looked like and to open their eyes.
I guess Erniu must be very satisfied now. I don't know where Huang Liang took him to a place of ecstasy and luxury.
However, people like Jiang Daochuan would be looked down upon when talking about Zhou Yuerong. Zhou Yuerong came to him to buy land, and they even listened to her discuss the price for the first time, but then she simply disappeared.
Zhou Yuerong smiled bitterly and said: "I've been to Mr. Jiang several times today, but he doesn't want to see me at all. It's not pleasant to have a hot face but a cold butt."
"So you thought of me?"
Yang Bei pointed at himself.
Zhou Yuerong nodded: "I've asked about it. You are the savior of Jiang Daochuan's son. Qipin Tang was able to open because of Jiang Daochuan's help, so I called you here because I hope you can say a few good words for me."
When she said this, she held his hand with some excitement, and pressed forward with all her strength: "I beg you! As long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to agree to anything."
"I really had no other choice, so I thought of looking for you."
"Yang Bei, help me, please."
Her delicate face suddenly came very close.
In his big eyes, there was a look of pleading that I felt pity for.
Yang Bei could almost feel the sweet smell coming from her breath. Some people said that girls are made of spices. That Zhou Yuerong was definitely pickled by cosmetics.
Her neckline was also dangling, as if her entire upper body were suspended in the air, so her majestic appearance was like a mountain standing upside down.
Very tempting.
And when such an alluring girl holds his hand, only half a foot away from him, and pleads, "I'm willing to promise you anything," any man's heart will be moved.
But Yang felt a little itchy on the tip of his nose, leaned back, and said calmly: "That can only be blamed on you being too eager for quick success and quick success. You have to pay the price for doing wrong things. Your father stumbled into jail like this, you The same goes for being unpopular. Besides, I have a girlfriend."
Zhou Yuerong couldn't help but twitch the corners of her eyes.
Yang Bei's words can basically be summed up in two words: You deserve it!
This man is a straight man of steel.
And he's the hard-hearted kind.
If it were any other man, he would definitely feel pity for her after seeing such a pitiful and delicate performance.
But what about Yang Bei?
I'm still there as a legitimate customer.
I hope you can hug me, kiss me, and say it’s okay, baby, I will help you, instead of listening to your reasoning——
Zhou Yuerong felt that Yang Bei was just like a piece of wood.
I feel like my self-esteem is a bit hurt: Am I so unattractive?
She also vaguely felt that the first plan might not work. She sat back, raised her hands to straighten her hair, and smiled bitterly: "You are right, who asked me to do those dirty things? But I still hope you Can you help me, because this land is really important to me."
"Aren't you in the building materials business? Why are you staring at this land?"
Yang Bei curled his lips and said somewhat boredly.
Zhou Yuerong took a sip of tea and looked in the direction of the window: "Before my father was imprisoned, he valued this piece of land the most. That piece of land was our Zhou family's ancestral home."
"Because of the debt repayment, this land was divided by the creditor."
"My dad did well in prison and won a reduced sentence. He will be released next year."
Zhou Yuerong's voice was trembling a little, with a feeling that his feelings could no longer be suppressed. He said softly: "I hope that before he is released from prison, the ancestral home can be rebuilt so that our family can live in it again and bring my mother's
tablet."
"You should understand that the older generation has a strong concept of returning to their roots after falling leaves."
