Time flies.
After chatting about trivial matters, Wang Manni and Liang Zhengxian came back with happy faces and anticipation for the future.
Perhaps her only regret was that not all wealthy people lived as well as Wang Yan? She didn't dwell on it, feeling she had finally grasped something she'd been pursuing for so many years, something she'd only dreamed of. Rich, handsome, single, and devoted only to him, Liang Zhengxian perfectly embodied her dream of a Prince Charming.
Zhong Xiaoqin had had enough of her ordinary, peaceful life and was looking for some excitement. She successfully divorced Chen Yu and shared the good news with her close friends. Her mother, unaware of the news, was still eager to have her name added to the property deed.
Gu Jia habitually handed the child to Wang Yan, saying that she was going to take a hot spring bath with her best friend.
The three sisters reunited, enjoying a relaxing hot spring bath. Wang Manni was surprised by the news, but offered no comforting words. Gu Jia and Zhong Xiaoqin, sisters of many years, remained silent upon hearing the news. Perhaps they were grieving for the unfortunate failure of their sisters' marriages in their thirties?
Anyway, Gu Jia and Wang Manni simply said, "I'm happy for you," and that was it. Perhaps this was a special form of comfort? Is it some kind of indulgence therapy? We don't know anything else, but they were having a great time anyway.
This time, Shen Jie finally listened to Wang Yan's advice, and the factory didn't explode. Last time, after Shen Jie listened to Wang Yan's reminder, he went to his own fireworks factory the next day and specially carried out a safety inspection and made some rectifications.
Xu Huanshan was running back and forth, continuing his affair with Lin Youyou while handling company affairs.
That day, at Gu Jia's dessert shop, when the wives were gathering, Mrs. Li mentioned that there was a tea factory for sale in Xiangxi. Gu Jia took it to heart. She went home, scratching her head and unable to sleep, and woke up in the middle of the night to research the feasibility of acquiring the tea factory.
The more she researched, the more excited she became. It felt like money was raining down from the sky, just waiting for her to bend over. She called Xu Huanshan that night, excitedly telling him about it and also wanting to seek his opinion.
"Honey, you know what? Mrs. Li said today that she wants to sell a tea plantation. I just checked and it has all the necessary qualifications and is very profitable."
"If we can take it over, we can make at least one million a year."
Xu Huanshan has always been disgusted with Gu Jia's involvement in the wives' circle, and he doesn't like that group of people: "Wife, are you sure? Don't be fooled by them."
Gu Jia had a very clear understanding of the strength of these wives' circle people, and thought that they didn't care at all, so she said: "How could they lie to us? Do you know how strong their family is? Let me tell you..." Gu Jia explained to Xu Huanshan the level of Mrs. Li's family so that Xu Huanshan could have some idea.
Xu Huanshan wasn't the head of the family to begin with, and he knew he couldn't change Gu Jia's decision, so he just told her symbolically. He immediately said, "Wife, since you want to do it, then do it. The tea factory is quite profitable, so it must cost a lot of money, right? Do we have enough money now?"
Gu Jia said, "I'll take a look tomorrow. There's always a way. Don't worry, husband."
The two exchanged sweet words and then hung up the phone.
The next day, Gu Jia began to calculate the family's financial situation.
She had already contacted Mrs. Wang, who had asked for three million. After calculating, she still fell short.
At this time, Gu Jia didn't think about the installment payment method as in the original drama. She subconsciously thought of Wang Yan, and she knew that Wang Yan would definitely help her. Somehow, she just had this feeling.
As they got to know each other better, Gu Jia felt more and more at ease with Wang Yan, and unconsciously developed a sense of reliance in her heart. She no longer kept a distance from Wang Yan on purpose, and apart from Xu Ziyan, she would chat with Wang Yan every day.
If I don’t chat with them one day, I always feel like something is missing and the day is not perfect.
The more she interacted with him, the more she naturally understood him. She had long known that the little she had learned was just the tip of the iceberg. When she was with Wang Yan, she occasionally overheard him talk on the phone. Nothing was worth less than 100 million yuan, and even 100 million yuan seemed underwhelming.
With such a large business, it's easy to imagine the number of people he knows. Gu Jia sometimes couldn't help but think that when they first met, it was a bit ridiculous to think that he was only slightly better off than her family.
As for why she let Wang Yan take care of the child and didn't feel embarrassed.
One reason is because Wang Yan showed his love for Xu Ziyan.
Secondly, Gu Jia really subconsciously thought that there was nothing wrong with this. This was also because Wang Yan was very skilled and his flattery was not in vain, as he really fooled Gu Jia.
Seriously, Lao Wang is a bit of a jerk, but he's not a psychopath, and he doesn't have any special fetishes. Just think about licking her during the day, and then spending the night with someone else. He's not the kind of guy who enjoys seeing the woman he likes being intimate with someone else, the more passionate the kiss, the more excited he gets.
If it weren't for the mission, he would have done something to get Xu Huanshan sent to prison for life. Don't be disgusted, a man's possessiveness is there. Not to mention Wang Yan, who was once the boss of a self-centered gang, ruthless, and murderous.
The third point is, as mentioned earlier, Wang Yan is too idle. He basically doesn't socialize with people, so he rarely goes out for social events. He spends his days like an old man, drinking tea, reading, studying, and taking walks. Coupled with Gu Jia's unconscious dependence on him, she even thought that if she could let Wang Yan take care of the child and let Xu Ziyan play with Wang Yan, she could add some color to Wang Yan's life and think that she was helping him again.
This is also the effect that Wang Yan wanted. Now Gu Jia and her son have basically been dealt with by him.
That day, when Gu Jia went upstairs to pick up Xu Ziyan, she took the opportunity to mention this matter to Wang Yan.
"Wang Yan, I want to borrow some money from you. Is it convenient for you?" Gu Jia was very direct and got straight to the point.
Brothers should be clear about their accounts and friendships. Gu Jia added, "Oh, don't worry, I'll give it to you soon. I need two million, plus one percentage point in interest."
Wang Yan thought about it for a moment, and then he knew why. He still asked, "Can I ask what you want these two million for?"
Then Gu Jia talked about what she had learned in the past two days.
After listening, Wang Yan said, "The money is no problem. Forget about the two million. I'll just give you three million. Forget about the interest and there's no rush to pay it back. Just give it to me whenever you have it."
Hearing Wang Yan's straightforward answer, Gu Jia felt a little sweet. Although she had expected it, she couldn't help but feel excited: "Thank you, Wang Yan, you've been a great help. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."
"Hey, why are we still so polite to each other?"
Even if it would be more beneficial for him if Gu Jia was deceived, he still had to say what he had to say: "I have to remind you that doing business is not a joke. You should think about it more and do more research."
Gu Jia was completely bewildered now, so how could she listen to these things? "Oh, Wang Yan, I've checked everything very clearly. It's going to be fine, don't think too much about it."
Seeing her like this, Wang Yan stopped talking. It was hard to persuade her with kind words, so he just let her do whatever she wanted.
"Bye, Dad, see you tomorrow." Gu Jia left with Xu Ziyan contentedly.
After returning home, Gu Jia contacted Mrs. Li and wanted to talk to them about the tea factory.
Mrs. Li didn't say anything. If you have money, just buy it. She can cheat anyone, especially Gu Jia, who has no ability to resist and can only accept defeat.
The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Li proposed to borrow Gu Jia's dessert shop for a charity auction. Gu Jia agreed without hesitation. The two signed a contract immediately, and the remaining formalities would take a few days.
With the important matter settled, Gu Jia was filled with lofty ambitions and could not wait for the handover to be completed immediately so that she could show her talents. She vowed to make a career that would allow her family to move up the social ladder, achieve rapid development and thus achieve class transition.
That night, Gu Jia told Xu Huanshan the news.
Xu Huanshan didn't say anything when he heard that he had borrowed three million from Wang Yan. He had already had more than one drink. Moreover, although Gu Jia didn't talk much about Wang Yan at home, when he mentioned Wang Yan, Gu Jia couldn't help but agree with him, revealing a lot. He still had a certain understanding of Wang Yan's strength.
In his opinion, since the two families have such a good relationship, it's okay to help each other. However, Xu Huanshan still raised some opinions on the issue of children: "Wife, you are already very busy running a dessert shop. Now you have opened a tea factory. What will happen to Ziyan in the future?"
"Although Lao Wang takes good care of us, we can't always trouble him. If we are both so busy, how can we have time to care for Zi Yan?"
"I don't have much fatherly love to begin with. If you get busy again, how can we be worthy of Ziyan?"
Gu Jia didn't take Xu Huanshan's worries seriously: "It's okay, Wang Yan is fine too. He's been wandering around all day, so it's good for Zi Yan to accompany him."
Gu Jia unconsciously and from the bottom of her heart was not rejecting or polite to Wang Yan.
"During this period, Wang Yan took Zi Yan to practice boxing, write, and draw. When he had nothing to do, he would drive him around the area."
"He used to get sick every now and then, but look at him now, he's full of energy all day long. The other day when I gave him a bath, Zi Yan's body was a little stiff. He's so healthy now."
"Not only that, Ziyan no longer throws tantrums and is very sensible."
"Your son is both talented in literature and martial arts. Don't you think he has made great progress?"
Gu Jia said as a matter of course: "Originally I wanted to find a nanny, but seeing how well Zi Yan is being taken care of, I might as well just let him continue to help."
Hearing her say this, Xu Huanshan thought about the changes in his son during this period. It was indeed the case. Furthermore, Gu Jia also mentioned that she wanted to find a nanny. Compared to that, he was more inclined to Wang Yan.
It was just a little strange that Gu Jia trusted Wang Yan so much, but he didn't think much about it: "Okay, let's do it this way. I'll have a drink with Lao Wang when I get back. He borrowed money and took care of the children. I have to thank him for helping us so much."
After they exchanged a few words, they ended the call.
Two days later, Gu Jia sent a message to Wang Yan early in the morning.
Yesterday, Xu Ziyan came home and said there was a cultural performance and he wanted his parents to attend. However, Gu Jia was busy organizing Mrs. Li's charity banquet and had no time to go, so she had to ask Xu Ziyan to let his father go instead. Xu Ziyan and Wang Yan were very close, and Wang Yan was also very happy to go. In his opinion, his father was much better than his biological parents.
Moreover, under Wang Yan's guidance, Xu Ziyan also became more sensible. Knowing that his parents wanted him to have a better life, he agreed without making a fuss.
Gu Jia sent the message to ask Wang Yan to take her to the cultural performance, and that Xu Huanshan would be back today, so she asked him to have dinner together in the evening.
Wang Yan naturally would not refuse and agreed immediately.
Now Xu Huanshan and Lin Youyou have already hooked up, and Gu Jia is busy with the tea factory. He has almost finished licking, so it is time for him to start. He is also itchy from being able to look but not eat all day.
Most of the participants in the event are mothers. Men have to support their families and don’t have much time.
Wang Yan chatted with a bunch of old ladies in the kindergarten for a long time, which made him very upset.
Over such a long time, Wang Yan would sometimes come to pick up Xu Ziyan from school, and he had met other parents to some extent. It was impossible for others not to gossip about Wang Yan, the godfather, who would come to pick up the child for no reason.
Gu Jia and the others didn't care about these things. They all knew what was going on, so who wouldn't like to gossip?
Xu Ziyan was even less troubled. Children didn't understand much. It was normal for other parents to mutter to Xu Ziyan, overheard by their children. Xu Ziyan had become quite tough under Wang Yan's guidance, and he wasn't easily vulnerable.
He simply told the other children how Wang Yan had taken him out for fun. While the other children might have come from well-off families and had plenty of experience, they certainly hadn't experienced as much as Xu Ziyan had during his time. After all, elite families and elite educations don't always make life easy for children. They were incredibly envious of what Xu Ziyan had said, wishing they too had such a wonderful godfather. This made Xu Ziyan incredibly popular with the children, almost becoming the boss of the kindergarten.
Not to mention Wang Yan, he had no good intentions and didn't care about the old women's gossip.
Gu Jia also successfully held the charity banquet, and the ladies finished showing off and happily dispersed.
In the evening, Wang Yan and Gu Jia's family had dinner together.
Xu Huanshan had been completely bewildered by Lin Youyou during this time, and he was brimming with energy. Perhaps he thought this was the most relaxed and happiest time he had had in years?
When he saw Wang Yan, he burst into laughter and gave him a hug: "Haha, Lao Wang, I've really troubled you during this period of time. Thank you very much."
Wang Yan waved his hands and pretended to be unhappy: "Ah, you're saying that again. What's our relationship? Why are you still being polite to me? You have to drink a glass of wine as punishment. If you miss even a drop, I will pick you up."
Gu Jia, who was watching from the side, also had a smile on her face and kept urging them to sit down and eat.
During the meal, they also told Wang Yan that they would both be busy in the future, and Wang Yan was relieved to take care of Xu Ziyan and his wife, so he could take care of them in the future.
Wang Yan agreed and said that he had met a few new friends in the past two days and that his family also had businesses such as shopping malls and amusement parks, so he wanted to introduce them to them.
After receiving another wave of thanks, Xu Huanshan naturally risked his life to accompany Lao Wang.
Wang Yan looked at Xu Huanshan's high-spirited look and thought of what he said, "Don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children." Would Xu Huanshan be so angry that he would die?
I shook my head, not thinking any more, and continued to pour him wine.
Thanks to (What's going on Zhang Wei) and (Qian Zhiming) for their monthly tickets.
Thanks also to all the brothers who voted for recommendations.
And to all the brothers who just want to say a few words when they have nothing to do.
And I don’t know how many of my good brothers have supported me so much by just watching silently without saying a word.
In this situation, at this moment, here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and sincere blessings to my good brothers.
Bow several times.
It's over.
