Li Mengyao's hands, which were massaging Keke's hair, froze.
What?
Did I mishear?
Six hundred million?
The other party only wants me to earn thirty million?
Ye Yun, have you had too much to drink again?
I had dinner with Ye Yun myself just tonight, and I didn't see him drinking!
Li Mengyao was completely stunned and couldn't help but say,
"Are you out of your mind? Are you frozen silly?"
"Don't I have your coat? How could I be frozen silly?" Ye Yun patted his coat and chuckled.
"If your mind is fine, why are you bragging? You said you wanted to earn six hundred million, but they only offered you thirty million, and you refused. Do you know how much six hundred million is?" Li Mengyao rolled her eyes.
"I still have a hundred million in my card," Ye Yun muttered softly.
These days, even telling the truth isn't believed!
As expected, people can only accept what's within their comprehension.
"What did you say?" Li Mengyao hadn't heard clearly.
"It's nothing, it's just that the conditions they offered weren't satisfactory, and I was too lazy to waste time with her. It's better to come back and spend time with you and Keke," Ye Yun said.
"You're just impatient. How can you leave a business meeting after only an hour? Wouldn't it be better to talk longer?" Li Mengyao said reproachfully.
"Mengyao, patience is for those who are worthy. They can't meet my conditions, so talking further would just be a waste of time. There's nothing more to say," Ye Yun replied.
With that, he walked to his wife and daughter, scooped up Ye Keke, and tickled her nose, saying with a smile,
"Keke, shall Daddy tell you a story tonight?"
"Yes, yes!"
Keke wrapped her arms around Ye Yun's neck and planted a fierce kiss on his cheek.
"I want to hear the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!"
"Alright~ Mengyao, I'll put Keke to bed tonight. You've been tired these past few days, so get some rest," Ye Yun said to Li Mengyao over his shoulder.
"You really are something. Every time I talk to you about serious matters, you change the subject."
Li Mengyao glared at Ye Yun, but her heart still felt sweet.
This kind of warm and happy life was something she had longed for her entire life.
Now that her wish had come true, how could she not be happy?
As for business or not.
As long as Ye Yun handled it well.
Didn't they have enough money?
She still had twenty million saved in her own card.
Li Mengyao secretly made up her mind.
She didn't want to inquire about Ye Yun's business affairs.
However, the twenty million in her hands was their last resort.
She had to be thrifty.
Also, Ye Yun's "stubborn illness" needed to be resolved soon!
For a more harmonious conjugal life!
...
The next day.
Ye Yun woke up early as usual, ready to make breakfast for his wife and daughter.
However, when he finished washing up and went downstairs, he heard the sound of the range hood coming from the kitchen.
He went over to look.
He saw Li Mengyao, wearing an apron, bustling around preparing breakfast.
Before Ye Yun could ask, Li Mengyao smiled brightly.
"Keke didn't bother me last night, so I'm feeling much better. I'll prepare breakfast today, you go back to sleep."
"Let me do it," Ye Yun walked in, hugged Li Mengyao tightly, and whispered in her ear.
His face was filled with a happy smile.
Mengyao... she was still the same good wife who could manage the household and cook.
It was just that he hadn't cherished her properly in his previous life.
"Why are you hugging me? It's so embarrassing if Auntie sees! Let go quickly." Being hugged so intimately by Ye Yun in broad daylight, Li Mengyao's face immediately turned red to the roots of her neck.
"What are you afraid of? This is my own home. Besides, aren't I worried that my dear wife is working too hard?" Ye Yun teased, not letting go.
"Stop being cheeky, let go and help me," Li Mengyao said reproachfully.
"Yes, ma'am~"
No vows of eternal love, no sweet nothings.
Yet, the kitchen was filled with the warmth of home.
Although the couple hadn't had conjugal relations, their hearts had already begun to mend.
A broken mirror reunited.
The family soon gathered for breakfast, and Ye Yun's phone rang again.
It was Yang Yue calling.
"Mengyao, I'm going to take a call. You feed Keke first," Ye Yun said, taking his phone and walking out.
"Mr. Ye, shall we continue our negotiation today?" Yang Yue said as soon as the call connected.
"Forget it, Ms. Yang. There's nothing to discuss. How about this, I'll tell you my bottom price. Hengda wants to acquire Gaohai Village, a total of sixty-eight houses. The bottom price is seven hundred and fifty million. Not a single cent less, and there's no room for negotiation."
After speaking, Ye Yun hung up the phone directly.
On the other end, listening to the beeping sound from the phone,
Yang Yue was questioning her own life!
Damn it!
Has this guy gone mad?
Seven hundred and fifty million?
This can no longer be explained by greed.
This is completely a sky-high price!
But...
Why is this guy setting the price so precisely?
And you still say you're not an insider!
Yang Yue panted. As a senior executive of Hengda, she naturally knew Hengda's valuation of the Gaohai area.
Seven hundred and eighty million!
Once it exceeded this amount, although there would still be some profit, the slow recovery of capital would be too much of a loss.
Seven hundred and fifty million was right at the tipping point and within Hengda's budget!
Saying you have no hidden dealings with Hengda's top management is a joke!
But even knowing that Hengda might accept Ye Yun's offer,
The transfer of such a large sum of seven hundred and fifty million would definitely require the approval of the board of directors.
With this in mind, Yang Yue immediately contacted the various directors to convene a shareholder meeting.
Conference room.
"There's a problem with the Gaohai Village matter!" As soon as the meeting began, Yang Yue stood up and said.
"Secretary Yang, a problem? What problem?" Xu Jiaguo frowned.
Although Yang Yue possessed a naturally alluring charm that made Xu Jiaguo long to have her,
Xu Jiaguo knew very well that this woman was not a mere decoration; on the contrary, Yang Yue was very capable at her job!
The acquisition of Gaohai Village was supposed to be incredibly simple.
Why did it seem like there was a problem on Yang Yue's end?
"Originally, this matter was simple, but unexpectedly, on the very day we were holding our board meeting, Gaohai Village was snatched up by someone else. All sixty-eight houses were taken without a single one left!" Yang Yue said with a grim expression.
"What!"
"Secretary Yang, you're saying Gaohai Village was acquired just a few days ago?"
"It was almost at the same time as us?"
Instantly, the entire shareholder meeting descended into chaos.
Xu Jiaguo's face turned ugly.
"Is it a competitor?"
"No! If it were a competitor, they wouldn't have so readily offered the land for sale. The other party is showing a clear desire to sell, and... their asking price isn't low!" Yang Yue said.
"The asking price isn't low? Is the other party planning to extort us?"
Combining the information Yang Yue reported, Xu Jiaguo also made his own judgment.
If the other party's price was not high, Yang Yue would have been able to decide on her own and wouldn't have needed to call a shareholder meeting.
Yang Yue remained silent, staring intently at Xu Jiaguo. After a long pause, she slowly said,
"Xu Jiaguo, stop playing dumb!"
"What do you mean?" A thought flashed rapidly through Xu Jiaguo's mind.
"Hmph, you're still pretending at this point! That's right! The other party is indeed trying to extort us, and their asking price is so coincidental! Sixty-eight houses, asking for seven hundred and fifty million!"
"Our budget is seven hundred and eighty million. Only a few people know that. And it happened around the same time as our shareholder meeting. Don't you think that's too coincidental?"
"Xu Jiaguo... are you and your family taking all of us for fools!" Yang Yue slammed the table and exclaimed angrily!
