With two swift strokes, the person in charge signed his name on the contract without hesitation.
Seeming afraid that Gu Siheng would go back on his word, the person in charge wasted no time in seeking his affirmative reply.
"Mr. Gu, I'm also in charge of the construction project on Guiyi Island. I wonder if you're interested in bidding for it?"
Gu Siheng was surprised by such a generous offer. He gently advised the man to think it over carefully. "The scale of the construction company under me may not be up to such a large - scale project."
"Your wife is so outstanding. If you and I join hands, the Guiyi Island project is bound to exceed expectations."
Regardless of whether Gu Siheng really wanted it or not, the person in charge thrust the project upon him. It seemed that he was truly cornered by the evil things in his house and was eager to grasp Jiang Shang as a last straw.
After the person in charge left, Gu Siheng stared at the project contract that had once been out of reach but was now within his grasp. His eyes were deep with thought.
He never expected that all the difficult issues he faced could be easily resolved when Jiang Shang came into the picture.
His fiancée was quite a lucky charm.
The live - broadcast room was still in a co - hosting session. Jiang Shang's words sparked a flurry of discussions among the onlookers. Song Song poked the man beside her with great interest.
"Hey, Chi Ye, do you think what she said is right?"
The named Chi Ye turned his head. His three - dimensional and cold features came into the camera's view. Even his gray casual suit couldn't hide the nobility and arrogance in his bones. His good looks made the bullet - screen area erupt in screams.
He slightly lifted his eyelids, and his deep gaze met Jiang Shang's. The man's eyes were as gloomy as his temperament.
Chi Ye let out a soft chuckle, not taking Jiang Shang's tricks seriously. He turned to Song Song and said, "Do you think I'd believe such things?"
He thought Jiang Shang was just being mysterious. How could a young girl have such great abilities?
Jiang Shang pouted. Seeing Song Song pay as agreed, she didn't bother to argue with Chi Ye.
As long as it didn't affect her making money, she didn't care whether he believed it or not.
Suddenly, another phone rang. Jiang Shang picked it up and saw that it was Lin Jingru calling.
Jiang Shang answered the call, and Lin Jingru's excited voice came through. "Shangshang, Grandma Qu will be discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Are you coming?"
"Sure. Send me the time later."
Jiang Shang lowered her voice, but since she was close to the live - broadcast microphone, every word fell into the ears of the onlookers.
Lin Jingru's call inadvertently gave a boost. The netizens were in an uproar.
Three hours later, Jiang Shang turned off the camera and clocked out of work as expected.
She lay on the table, counting her recent earnings. She planned to donate half of it to a charity organization while thinking about what new gimmicks to add to the live - broadcast room.
She was so engrossed that she didn't notice someone approaching until a big hand landed on the back of her head.
"Little lucky charm, tired?"
Jiang Shang raised her fluffy head and watched as Gu Siheng placed a milk tea in front of her. A question mark popped up in her mind.
Little lucky charm?
Jiang Shang couldn't figure out why Gu Siheng always liked to give her such strange nicknames. The "fiancée" at the beginning was even considered normal.
But Gu Siheng seemed to enjoy it, as if it was his hobby.
"How did I become a lucky charm?"
Jiang Shang took a sip of the sweet milk tea and then lay back on the table, looking exactly like a worker who had been drained of energy after a day's work.
The woman lowered her eyes and played with her phone. In Gu Siheng's eyes, she was like a lazy cat curled up in a ball.
Brother Haozi chuckled beside them and explained for his boss, "Madam, you've brought in business!"
"Just now, the person in charge of Yuncheng Tourism signed a huge deal with the boss just to invite you to cleanse a house!"
"?"
Jiang Shang's eyes were full of surprise. Was she really that powerful now?
Gu Siheng gave a glance as a signal. Brother Haozi whistled, and then bodyguards carried in a twenty - centimeter - high golden statue of Lord Guan.
"A reward for the little lucky charm."
Jiang Shang's eyes sparkled with the love for money. She was both surprised and delighted.
With this purity of gold and this scale of the statue, Gu Siheng must have bought the treasure of a gold store!
Gu Siheng watched as the little lucky charm carefully searched for a wealth - attracting position for the statue of Lord Guan. He thought this move of catering to her interests was really on point.
Jiang Shang nodded in satisfaction and had a bit more admiration for her fiancé.
The money - tree nickname was really apt.
"My parents will be back tonight. How about we go home early for dinner?" Her money - tree took the opportunity to invite her.
Jiang Shang thought for a moment and told him to go back to the old mansion first. She would go to the hospital to see Grandma Qu and then return.
In the afternoon, Jiang Shang drove to the hospital alone. By then, Grandma Qu had already completed the discharge procedures.
As Jiang Shang was about to enter the ward, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a wisp of black air lingering in the ward.
Her heart sank. When she walked closer, she found that the black air was actually coming from Lin Jingru.
Seeing Qu Yan possessing Lin Jingru, Jiang Shang was slightly stunned.
When a ghost frequently possesses a living person, it will absorb the energy of the living person. In mild cases, the person will become weak; in severe cases, their lifespan may be shortened.
Qu Yan pulled her aside and whispered an explanation, "I know what you're going to say. After seeing my grandma for the last time today, I'm going to the underworld. I won't possess Lin Jingru anymore."
Jiang Shang frowned and sighed softly after a while, tacitly approving of her actions.
Grandma Qu thought Jiang Shang looked a bit unfamiliar but also seemed to have seen her somewhere. Qu Yan patiently explained the whole thing to her.
When Grandma Qu heard that it was Jiang Shang who sent Tang Xuan to prison and helped her get her property back, she was so excited that she was about to kneel down to her, but Jiang Shang stopped her.
"The highest principle of the mysterious sect is that saving a life is better than building a seven - level pagoda. Grandma Qu, your happiness is the greatest reward for me."
Jiang Shang's words made Grandma Qu very happy, and she felt even more that she couldn't repay her.
Qu Yan helped her pack her clothes beside them. Knowing that this was the last time she would see her grandma, she gave extra instructions.
Even after they left the hospital and got in the car, Qu Yan still kept talking.
If you looked closely, Qu Yan's eyes were red.
Grandma Qu was old and had a poor memory, so she only caught a bit of Qu Yan's long - winded instructions.
When they got out of the car and were moving the luggage, Grandma Qu finally noticed Qu Yan's red eyes. She didn't understand why but still pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears.
"You child, there's no need to cry. No wonder you're friends with my Yanyan. My Yanyan also loves to cry.
Every time she went on a long trip, she would say that she wouldn't be able to see me for a long time."
Grandma Qu's wrinkled hand touched Qu Yan's face to wipe her tears. Mentioning Qu Yan brought back her sad memories.
The little girl who used to cry even for a short separation when going on a long trip was now really gone forever.
Grandma Qu's nose also turned sour. She endured the sadness and took out the White Rabbit milk candies she always carried.
"Eating something sweet will make you stop crying. Try it. My Yanyan loved these the most."
After saying that, Grandma Qu also stuffed a handful of candies into Jiang Shang's hand.
Qu Yan took the candies with a trembling hand. Her tears fell on the candy wrapper, and she bit into the candy while holding back her sobs.
After Jiang Shang and Qu Yan helped her move the luggage, it was time to leave.
"Grandma, you have to take good care of yourself from now on. Since I promised Yanyan that I'd take care of you, I will definitely visit you often."
Qu Yan choked out these words, which were not only Lin Jingru's promise but also her own.
Grandma Qu was a bit stunned and then nodded faintly.
Jiang Shang silently started the car. Qu Yan watched with tear - filled eyes as Grandma Qu walked into the apartment alone.
After dropping Qu Yan off at Lin Jingru's place, Jiang Shang drove back to the old mansion.
From afar, she could hear a lively discussion going on in the main hall of the old mansion. But when Jiang Shang stepped into the hall, everyone fell into a strange silence.
She looked up and saw a majestic middle - aged man sitting in the center. His hair was neatly combed, and his eyebrows exuded the authority of a superior.
The middle - aged man sized her up without any disguise, making Jiang Shang feel a bit uncomfortable.
