After coaxing Xu Ziyan to sleep, when he returned to the room, he looked at Xu Huanshan's sleeping back. Gu Jia's face looked a little complicated. After sighing faintly, he put on his pajamas and lay on the bed for a while, thinking a lot. , what happened during this period always came to mind, as well as Xu Huanshan's somewhat ferocious face today, and he suddenly lost all sleep.

After tossing and turning still unable to fall asleep, Gu Jia got up, got dressed, walked to the living room, took out a glass of red wine, poured a glass of wine, and carried the glass to the balcony.

The early autumn evening breeze caressed the hair, and the hair flew with the wind. Looking up, the dark night seems to be smeared heavily on the sky with endless thick ink, without even the glimmer of stars. Looking down, the banks of the Huangpu River are brightly lit, creating a bustling scene. Gu Jia raised her hand to twist the ends of her hair, her heart full of pride, and the depression in her heart was swept away.

I have worked hard to get into the wife circle, just to seize the opportunity, take this opportunity to soar into the sky, and completely establish a foothold at the top of the pyramid. It took more than ten years of hard work to get here. For the happiness of his family and Xu Ziyan's future, he would never back down.

After standing on the balcony for a long time, until she felt her body was a little chilled by the river breeze, Gu Jia drank all the wine in the cup and made up her mind. No matter what, she had made this deal, and no one could stand in her way. Can't stop!

If she doesn't have enough money, she can always find a way to solve it. Xu Huanshan doesn't support her now. Let's wait and see what he says when she makes some achievements.

Grand Hyatt Mansion, 1901.

"Sister-in-law, why are you free to come and sit here today? Come as soon as you come, why are you bringing gifts?" Yi Huawei smiled and asked Gu Jia to sit down.

"Where is Jingyu? Aren't you here?"

Gu Jia put the fruit on the table, sat down opposite Yi Huawei and smiled politely.

"Jingyu went back to Hong Kong today. I just came back from the airport." Yi Huawei smiled: "Didn't she send you a message?"

"Ah~, have you returned to Hong Kong?" Gu Jia took out her mobile phone and looked through it. Sure enough, she saw Zhao Jingyu's message. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "She didn't say anything yesterday. I sent her off. Then when will she return?"

Did he go back to play for a few days or was he dumped by Yi Huawei?

Gu Jia carefully observed the expression on Yi Huawei's face, but the face was too calm and she didn't see anything. But I was suddenly stunned by Yi Huawei's face. I didn't notice it until I looked carefully before. Now that I looked carefully, my heart skipped a beat.

I saw Yi Huawei sitting on the sofa casually yet elegantly, exuding a calm and unhurried temperament. Her complexion is as crystal clear as jade, her shiny black short hair, her slanting sword eyebrows, her slender, lightly pursed lips, her angular contours, her eyes as beautiful as heaven and earth without any impurities, clear yet bottomless. He was looking at himself with curious eyes.

"Well, it was decided last night." Sensing Gu Jia's inquiring gaze, Yi Huawei raised his hand to wipe his cheeks and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"It's nothing," Gu Jia blushed, coughed dryly, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then got down to business: "By the way, Huawei, I came here this time... to ask you for a favor..."

"Oh, what are you busy with?"

Looking at Gu Jia who was a little embarrassed, Yi Huawei showed a smile in his eyes: "We are all friends, don't be so polite, just ask as long as I can help you."

Gu Jia hesitated for a while and then said: "I took over a project from Mrs. Li. At present..., there is still [-] yuan left. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"

"Oh, eight hundred thousand? Money is no problem." Yi Huawei nodded and smiled: "But what is your project? Can you tell me?"

Hearing this, Gu Jia felt relieved. If Xu Huanshan hadn't been unwilling to support him, he wouldn't have had to look down and ask Yi Huawei for a loan.

Thinking about it, while feeling grateful to Yi Huawei, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of resentment towards Xu Huanshan.

"It's like this, Mrs. Li has a tea factory... This tea factory is Mrs. Li's family's industry. It is a very mature enterprise. From tea picking to tea making to sales, it is a self-contained system without any expense. Too much thought..."

Gu Jia told Yi Huawei in detail:
  "If this tea factory is completed, it will be of great significance to our family. That's why I made up my mind to build this tea factory. But Huanshan doesn't..., alas, there is really no other way, so I want to borrow money from you. Let’s turn it around. Don’t worry, I’ve done the math. As long as you manage it properly, you can get your capital back within a year… This money will be calculated based on the bank’s highest interest rate.”

While telling everything in detail, for some reason, Gu Jia didn't hide Xu Huanshan's attitude. Perhaps it was because he confided his depression, Gu Jia felt that his whole person felt a lot more relaxed. .

"Oh~, forget about the interest." After hearing what Gu Jia said, Yi Huawei waved his hand, thought for a while, and said:

"Is eight hundred thousand enough? Although I have never been in the tea business, I probably know something about it. As far as I know, tea is a highly marketing industry. If you want to sell the product, you must invest a lot of marketing in the early stage. Fees to launch the tea brand. All the funds you have now, including the [-], are just enough to prepare for the transfer fee. Not to mention other things, where are the funds for subsequent marketing and promotion? "

"Uh~," Gu Jia said after thinking about it for a while, "I still have some money in my hand, should it be enough?"

"Let's see," Yi Huawei smiled: "Nothing bothers the two owners, and there is no need to owe Mrs. Li the transfer fee. You can calculate the approximate difference. I will lend it to you first, and the interest will be paid by the bank."

Although he knew that the tea factory was a trap set by Mrs. Li for Gu Jia, Yi Huawei would not expose her. If Gu Jia had not endured this hardship, there would be no way he could get out of the circle of wives. Just think of it as giving her a long memory.

"this…,"

Gu Jia felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll calculate the difference and send you a message. Then I'll write you a note."

Yi Huawei chuckled and said, "Well, there's no need for the IOU. There's a transfer record and I'm not afraid that you won't pay it back.

However, I still want to remind you that before taking over the tea factory, you must conduct an on-site inspection. After all, people are separated from each other. Like you said, you can make money by taking over, why should she give it to you? "

You still have to remind her, otherwise Gu Jia might still blame herself when she finds out that she was deceived.

"Well, probably not," Gu Jia said with a nonchalant smile: "Who is Mrs. Li? Not to mention her family's business, everyone is in the same circle, and we don't see each other when we look up. If you really cheat me, Wouldn’t it be awkward to meet you in the future?”

"Yeah, that's right,"

Yi Huawei laughed, nodded, and then said, "The tea factory is in Hunan, and now Brother Xu is going to Beijing, so who of you will take care of Zi Yan?"

"I originally wanted to hire a nanny for Xu Ziyan. As the saying goes, professional people do professional things..."

Speaking of this, Gu Jia was also a little worried and complained: "However, Xu Huanshan is unwilling. Now we can only let Sister Chen work harder, and then give her a little more salary."

Gu Jia thought about it, now that Xu Ziyan has started school anyway, there is no need for him to hang around his child all day long. Moreover, she had already agreed with Xu Huanshan that she would come back when Xu Ziyan went to kindergarten. Besides, why did he build this tea factory? It wasn't for Xu Ziyan's future. This opportunity to transfer the tea garden is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she misses it, she will definitely regret it in the future.

"Nursery provider?" Yi Huawei nodded: "That's right. Why is Xu Huanshan not willing? Is it because of money issues?"

It's not like he is a macho man. Gu Jia has always felt that there is a thorn in Xu Huanshan's heart. He is more capable than him...,
  After complaining a few words in his mind, Gu Jia shook his head and said: "It's not for money. By hiring a nanny, we can free up more time and make more money... Maybe, he is afraid that the nanny will not take good care of him. Say it Ziyan."

"It seems that you are well prepared." Yi Huawei smiled: "Okay, that's it. After you calculate it and see how much is the difference, send me a message. By the way, let your family Chen Sister, please add my Aunt Liu on WeChat and let her know if Ziyan needs help."

Gu Jia said gratefully: "This... is not good. Will it trouble Aunt Liu too much?"

"No, Aunt Liu has always liked Ziyan and has been talking to me about it." Yi Huawei said with a smile: "I will push her WeChat account to you later. Of course, you can call me if you need anything."

"Okay, thank you very much." Gu Jia thanked her sincerely.

"It's okay, we're all friends." Yi Huawei waved his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore," Gu Jia stood up and said, "I'm going down first."

"Um,"

Yi Huawei got up and walked Gu Jia to the door. After Gu Jia left, he returned to the bedroom.

“Buzz buzz~~, buzz buzz~~~”

The phone in his pocket vibrated. Yi Huawei took it out and looked at it, his mouth raised slightly. As soon as Zhao Jingyu left, worried that she would have no fun, someone came to her door.

...............

coffee room.

Mrs. Li watched Gu Jia sign the document, the corners of her mouth raised, and the pride in her eyes was beyond words.

To be honest, she didn't expect Gu Jia to be able to pay the transfer fee in one lump sum. She originally thought she would only get half of the money. However, this is none of his business, and the money is still in his pocket. I just don’t know what Gu Jia’s expression will be when he knows the truth, hahaha!

What high education, high IQ, that's all? You've been sold something that gives people money, and you still look down on yourself?
  Seeing Gu Jia raise her head, Mrs. Li returned to her usual smile:

"Okay."

"Mrs. Li, it's ready."

After Gu Jia signed, she looked at Mrs. Li gratefully and handed over the contract in her hand. A stone fell in her heart. She could finally show off her talents. Although she currently owes [-] million in foreign debt, she is confident that she can pay off the debt within a year. "Okay, now the tea factory is yours." Mrs. Li took the contract and smiled with satisfaction: "I wish you great success, and don't let me down."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li..." Gu Jia said sincerely, "I will definitely do it well."

"Well, I believe you." Mrs. Li said with a smile: "We all see your ability. Let's go. Do you have time today? Go shopping with me. Mrs. Wang will invite us to dinner tonight. Let's go together. "

"If you have time," Gu Jia stood up and said with a smile, "Please take care of Mrs. Li in the future."

...............

Grand Hyatt Property Management Office.

In the manager's office, Zhong Xiaoqin stood aside, rubbing her fingers with her hands behind her back, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xu Zhumei looked at the information on the computer and glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin: "Are you okay? Tell me quickly, I'm very busy."

"Hmm~,...,"

Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated for a while and said: "...that's right, it's about the internal training you proposed for promotion last time."

"Are you sorry?"

Xu Zhumei looked at Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise and shook her head: "It's too late. If you don't care about something, others will grab it. How can there be a place waiting for you?"

"what?!"

Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly felt a little disappointed: "I really want to work seriously."

Xu Zhumei glanced at Zhong Xiaoqin: "Then you were just messing around before?"

"Ah? No!" Zhong Xiaoqin quickly shook her head.

Xu Zhumei said angrily: "Don't regret your rejection. You are worse than I thought. How dare you ask me?"

"Then just pretend I didn't ask..."

After saying that, Zhong Xiaoqin turned around and wanted to walk towards the door.

Originally, Zhong Xiaoqin had a carefree temperament. She had always been happy-go-lucky and had no ambitions. However, Chen Yu's resignation this time still sounded a wake-up call to Zhong Xiaoqin. Although Chen Yu's salary is now much higher than before, after hearing Gu Jia's detailed calculation of the cost of raising a child, Zhong Xiaoqin was dumbfounded. She and Chen Yu couldn't even afford a girl.

I remembered that Manager Xu had said that he wanted to be promoted, but he was pregnant at the time, so he refused. Now that the child has not been saved, my body has recovered a lot after this period of recuperation, so I came to see Manager Xu to see if there is still a chance.

"stop!"

Xu Zhumei stopped Zhong Xiaoqin: "I want to ask you, why are you willing to come back to me? This is not your way of doing things."

Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Xu, my child is gone."

"what?"

Xu Zhumei looked at Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise.

Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated and said: "Just, when you told me about the promotion last time, I just found out that I was pregnant. ... Well, if I accepted your kindness, wouldn't it be a bad idea? But then the child was not saved. .”

"You kid...,"

Xu Zhumei's heart softened, and she looked at Zhong Xiaoqin with a little sympathy.

Zhong Xiaoqin pursed her lips: "Anyway, don't worry, I will focus all my energy on work from now on, and leave whatever work you have to me."

"Okay, I understand," Xu Zhumei nodded and said, "I will think of you next time I have another chance."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Zhong Xiaoqin leaned forward and said, "Then I'll go back to work first."

"Wait a minute," Xu Zhumei called Zhong Xiaoqin again: "By the way, do you know Mr. Yi on the 3th floor of Building 19?"

"I know you, what's the matter?"

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded and looked at Xu Zhumei inexplicably. The customer service department had seen all the residents' information, but Zhong Xiaoqin knew that Xu Zhumei didn't mean what she asked.

"Is your relationship with Mr. Yi okay?" Xu Zhumei smiled.

"It's okay... right?" Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated for a while, but still didn't reveal the relationship between Chen Yu and Yi Huawei.

She's not stupid either, Xu Zhumei looks like she wants to set the strings for her by herself.

"Oh, that's it." Xu Zhumei looked at Zhong Xiaoqin's frown and smiled, then waved her hand: "Forget it, it's okay. You can go out and do your work."

"Ok!"

Zhong Xiaoqin nodded, turned around and pushed the door open.

…………

"Sister, sister... Zhong Xiaoqin!"

When she got off work, Zhong Xiaoqin was carrying her satchel. As soon as she walked to the subway station, she heard someone calling her name. When she turned around, she was a little surprised:

"Zhong Xiaoyang?...Why are you here? Didn't you go abroad?"

After not seeing each other for a month, Zhong Xiaoyang was still the same, except that his clothes were changed into jeans. He got off the motorcycle and walked straight to Zhong Xiaoqin. With a smile on his lips, he said enthusiastically:

"It's fate. I saw you just after I came back. How about it, do you have time? I'll treat you to a meal."

"what?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was stunned and shook his head subconsciously:
  "No, my husband has prepared the meal at home."

Zhong Xiaoyang smiled and said: "Sister, I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow. It's rare to meet her, just for a meal. You are my sister, why don't you give me this little face?"

"It's really unnecessary," Zhong Xiaoqin still shook her head: "We agreed to go back for dinner today, and my parents are here too."

"Oh~," Zhong Xiaoyang was a little disappointed and thought for a moment: "What about tomorrow? There is always time tomorrow, right?"

Zhong Xiaoqin refused: "It's rare for you to come back, why don't you go play with your friends?"

Zhong Xiaoqin didn't have a good impression of this "younger brother" who was just a word away. She was still in his twenties and looked like a fool, so she didn't want to have more contact with him.

"No way, sister, let's work together after all." Zhong Xiaoyang said with a smile: "It's a rare time to come back and you won't give me any face?"

"Let's talk tomorrow." Zhong Xiaoqin looked at his watch: "It's getting late, I have to go back."

"I'll give it to you." Zhong Xiaoyang pointed to the motorcycle: "It's not far from you anyway. The subway is very crowded."

"No need." Zhong Xiaoqin still waved her hand, turned and walked towards the subway entrance: "Go back quickly."

"Then I'll come find you tomorrow." Zhong Xiaoyang shouted towards Zhong Xiaoqin's back. Seeing that Zhong Xiaoqin seemed not to have heard, there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes. Watching Zhong Xiaoqin leave, she didn't turn around and walk towards the motorcycle until her back disappeared.

After starting the motorcycle, Zhong Xiaoyang did not drive towards his home, but turned around and drove back to the Junyue Mansion and stopped near it.
