After Li Chuchu went out,
Su Wan had already completed the formalities in advance. He was waiting for her at the door with Su Yumei.
Su Wan looked at her with a certain scrutiny in his eyes.
All his emotions on weekdays seemed to be hidden behind his transparent glasses and kind smile. It was rare for him to show such a naked look of appraisal. However, there was no malice in this look, just the pride inadvertently revealed by a person in a high position.
Li Chuchu never cared about such appraisals. She stepped on the ground full of withered yellow leaves, making crisp sounds. She walked up to Su Wan with a smile on her face. "Thank you for waiting for me here."
Su Wan retracted his gaze and resumed his usual gentle expression. "Have you completed everything?"
Li Chuchu nodded. "Yes, the transfer of ownership of the three properties has been successfully completed." She patted her bulging backpack and said with a smile, "Thank you, Secretary Su, for bringing me here. I'm so lucky to have this opportunity. When I'm settled, Secretary Su can use these properties as you like."
Li Chuchu knew very well that the news of this auction would, without a doubt, only circulate within their circle. If it weren't for Secretary Su's connection, she wouldn't be able to get in even if she spent thousands of yuan.
Whether Su Wan brought her here intentionally or unintentionally, Li Chuchu would remember this as a favor. From then on, she would no longer dwell on the debt of saving her life.
However, these nice words were just for the occasion.
Given the life - saving grace and Su Wan's high position, there was no way he would stoop to asking for things from ordinary people like them.
Su Wan hooked his lips into a smile and replied smoothly, "Then if Yumei and I have nowhere to go in the future, we'll have to rely on Miss Li."
"Hahaha, Secretary Su is really good at joking."
Looking at Li Chuchu's bright smile and her decisive bidding just now, there seemed to be something... Su Wan suddenly asked, "Why were you so determined to bid for that small Western - style building just now? The cost of renovation is no less than the cost of the property rights. "
For twice the price, one could buy a courtyard in a better location. If it were someone else, they might do it just for the bargain, but he didn't think Li Chuchu was such a reckless and superficial person.
The leaves were falling all over the city. It was already late autumn.
This was not a suitable season for large - scale construction.
Li Chuchu answered cheerfully, "Time is always moving forward, but these remnants of history are getting fewer and fewer. The former site of the Overseas Chinese Office has lost its political value as the personnel left, but its historical value is increasing with time."
"I won't lie to you. I看中 it for its historical value."
Li Chuchu didn't hide anything.
There was no need to hide anything from Su Wan.
People in his position would figure it out in two years even if they couldn't see through it now.
It would be less sincere if he found out later.
And the only way for a subordinate to socialize with a superior was sincerity.
Su Wan's gaze at Li Chuchu gradually deepened. He had to admit that this was a point he hadn't considered. To have such an investment vision at such a young age and be able to look so far ahead, she was bound to be extraordinary in the future. The admiration in his eyes for Li Chuchu gradually grew. "Li Chuchu, you're really amazing."
Under such a gaze, Li Chuchu couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.
After all, she was just a person with a time - traveling script, just wanting to take shortcuts and live a life of collecting rent. She wondered if Secretary Su could still maintain his expression if she really said so.
Just then, the driver drove the car over, saving Li Chuchu from her predicament.
Li Chuchu got into the car behind Su Wan.
After getting in the car, the car jolted. Yumei was a bit sleepy by now, with her eyelids drooping.
The driver first dropped Li Chuchu off at home.
"Goodbye, Yumei."
Yumei forced herself to stay awake. "Goodbye, Teacher Li."
The car window was rolled down halfway, revealing half of Su Wan's face. He nodded at Li Chuchu. "Go."
The next second,
the car moved several miles away right in front of Li Chuchu.
...
Li Chuchu patted her bulging pocket, thinking that she would visit these places for a field inspection in a few days.
Especially that small Western - style building.
It was satisfying when she bought it, but the renovation would really be a headache.
Li Chuchu sighed and comforted herself.
Forget it.
The land there would be worth hundreds of millions in the future.
It's okay to suffer a bit now.
...
Yu Xiuyuan was walking gloomily on the street in the afternoon, thinking about how to win back Mu Wan. Unexpectedly, he saw several black sedans parked in front of the Cultural Palace not far away.
Envy flashed in his eyes.
These cars were great. There were only a handful of them in the whole city of Ning.
People who had such cars were either big - time businessmen or high - ranking officials.
He wished he could get one of these cars. It would be so cool wherever he went.
He watched as a graceful and beautifully - dressed woman got into the sedan with a man in a suit. Judging from their looks, he guessed she was the mistress of some big shot.
He smacked his lips.
Sure enough, all the beautiful women were with those big bosses, and the ones left were all ugly ducklings.
Among the people he knew, Mu Wan was really the most beautiful one. Although he didn't take her seriously before, now that he thought about it, he felt it was a pity.
He must find a way to coax her back.
Women were just like that.
When the woman turned slightly while getting into the car,
Yu Xiuyuan took a closer look, and hatred welled up in his eyes.
Wasn't this the friend Mu Wan brought to have lunch with him at noon? A small factory clerk could ride in a sedan? Only a fool would believe her qualifications were obtained through proper means.
Yu Xiuyuan remembered that Mu Wan had mentioned that Li Chuchu was married. Her family background was not good, and she never mentioned her husband, so he guessed he was just an ordinary person. Now she was getting into a big leader's car. It was obvious what kind of sordid relationship she had. And he remembered that at lunch today, the son of the factory director also listened to her.
A married and beautiful woman could play two powerful men in the palm of her hand. He didn't expect Li Chuchu to be so cunning.
The more Yu Xiuyuan thought about it, the more he couldn't get the anger out of his heart.
If she hadn't offended him, he would have just laughed it off. But now that she had offended him, he would surely make her fall from her multi - relationship game.
On the road,
Yu Xiuyuan suddenly had an idea.
The corner of his mouth twitched into a sinister smile.
...
Shen Yanshan came home very late.
When he parked his car in the yard and saw the orange light in the house, his heart warmed, and even his ice - cold face softened.
After entering the house,
he saw at a glance that she had just taken a shower. Her hair was still wet, and she was lying bare - footed on the rattan chair with her eyes closed. Shen Yanshan frowned slightly.
The wind outside was already bitterly cold, and the house wasn't much warmer. Not paying attention to keeping warm like this, she would surely complain of a headache in a few days.
He grabbed a thick blanket and covered her with it, wrapping her tightly. But he still felt worried about something.
He bent down and touched her feet. Sure enough, they were cold.
Shen Yanshan frowned even deeper. He didn't dare to wake her up and let her sleep in the bed. Otherwise, she would surely pick on him and complain.
So he wrapped her feet in his arms and warmed them for a while until they finally got warm.
