Chapter 507
It was settled, but they couldn't keep writing bad checks. In total, 21 million was owed. Jiang Pengfei's 8 million, plus the 13 million Wang Yan took out, was paid off in one go.
The group of debt collectors left in a swarm, and the lawyer finished his work and left after greeting Wang Yan. Looking at the suddenly empty room, the Jiang family and Zhang Anren finally let out a long breath.
Jiang Pengfei, with teary eyes, stretched out his hands, held Wang Yan's hand tightly, and shook it vigorously: "Thank you, really thank you so much, Wang Yan."
Wang Yan smiled and shook his head, patting his arm: "It's okay, Uncle Jiang, this is also within my ability; I can't help with anything more. Grandma, Auntie Dai, Nansun, Suosuo, are you all okay?"
The women shook their heads, and Dai Yin said: "Thank you, Wang Yan. If you hadn't come, our family wouldn't have been able to handle it."
"Yeah, Brother Yan, thank you so much." Jiang Nansun supported the old lady, looking grateful.
Zhu Suosuo didn't speak, just looked at Wang Yan with cold, spring-like apricot eyes. She thought Wang Yan was too awesome before; he wasn't afraid of dozens of people at all, and even lifted a man up with one hand. Those debt collectors became careful all of a sudden; it was stimulating.
Wang Yan waved his hand casually, let go of Jiang Pengfei's hand, and sat back on the sofa: "Uncle Jiang, you've seen it too. To save some trouble, I prepared some extra money. Today is not a good time, it's the weekend. Tomorrow I'll go to the bank with you to handle the mortgage release for the house."
Jiang Pengfei nodded and sat down beside him. The four women also came over and sat down. Zhang Anren looked left and right, found a chair, and sat on the side.
Their eyes were all on Wang Yan, as if looking at a savior.
For their family, Wang Yan was indeed a savior. Although in the original drama there was no him, they still made it through, but now they still had five million left, with dividends of hundreds of thousands every year, enough to live well. Compared to the original situation, this was definitely two states.
Wang Yan asked: "Have you found a house?"
Jiang Pengfei nodded, and Jiang Nansun replied, still with some smiles: "In the morning, we had already started packing things."
"You're in good spirits, accepting it very quickly."
"Things have come to this, what else can we do besides accept it?" Jiang Nansun said very easily, as if she didn't care about money.
Looking at the appearance of the women on the side, Jiang Pengfei sighed: "It's all my fault. They were long disappointed in me and had long been mentally prepared."
Wang Yan smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Jiang, don't be discouraged. Although you were indeed blinded by greed and addicted to gambling, I can understand. You just want to get rich, wanting to get rich is not a mistake. It's just that you are indeed not suitable for the stock market. This time, betting your whole family fortune was unwise; you just took the wrong path. It's okay, Uncle Jiang, don't be so dejected, it's not like we can't live. With five million here, I guarantee you'll have no worries about food and clothing, don't worry."
Jiang Pengfei nodded bitterly. He was now extremely glad that he had bragged in Fuxing Park and established a connection with Wang Yan. Meeting by chance, being able to help him to this extent, this person was truly impeccable. It's just... he glanced at Zhang Anren, who looked concerned on the side, and then at his own daughter, who seemed indifferent. Whatever, he couldn't control it.
Seeing no one speaking, Wang Yan said again: "Is the old lady upstairs home?"
"Yes, she doesn't go out much on weekdays."
"If you don't send that old lady away, it will be very difficult to sell this house. Even if it's sold, you won't be able to get a good price. I'll go talk to the old lady." Wang Yan waved his hand: "You don't need to follow. If too many people go, the old lady will think we are forcing her to leave, which is not good. I'll do it myself."
Watching Wang Yan walk upstairs leisurely, the people downstairs looked at each other, and no one spoke.
After a long time, Jiang Pengfei broke the silence: "Suosuo, were you scared just now?"
"A little bit, but not scared to death. It's a society ruled by law, so the debt collectors don't dare to do anything to us. Just now I was thinking, if they went too far, I would fight them and bite them to death."
Jiang Nansun smiled: "Still saying that, just now you were grabbing me, your hand was full of sweat."
"You weren't much better." Zhu Suosuo looked at Zhang Anren with a smile: "But just now we were all a bit weak. Zhang Anren was the one who was stimulated the most. When I came in just now, I saw twenty or thirty people surrounding us outside. When he opened the door, so many people were blocking the entrance, and just now he was sitting there with Uncle being surrounded. Look, his hair is wet."
Zhang Anren had already calmed down from the tension just now. He waved his hand and said: "There were too many people, and the atmosphere was oppressive; it was really tense."
Jiang Pengfei glanced at Zhang Anren: "Thank you, Zhang Anren. Anyway, you did your best."
"I could only sit with Uncle; it's what I should do."
"Wang Yan is still the most powerful. Although that person didn't look very fat, he weighed 130 or 140 jin, and Wang Yan lifted him up with one hand, scaring everyone else." Zhu Suosuo said: "Wang Yan doesn't look very strong, I didn't expect him to have such great strength."
Of course, she was changing the subject to eliminate the previous influence. After all, she had the right to speak about whether Wang Yan was strong or not; many times it was him who held her up to work. However, she really didn't expect Wang Yan to have such great strength.
Dai Yin shook her head: "Alright, Nansun, take Grandma back to her room. She's old and can't take the shock. Then let's all pack our things and move out early. This matter, once is enough. The sooner it ends, the better, so we don't have to be on edge all the time. Suosuo, didn't your gastritis flare up? Go rest and talk to Grandma."
No matter what, this family couldn't be lively, and she didn't want to continue being awkward here, so it was better to finish it early.
In fact, no one had the heart to talk about anything else, so they dispersed. Only Jiang Pengfei remained in the living room, taking off his glasses and resting his head on the back of the chair, closing his eyes to rest. He felt regret in his heart and fatigue in his body, not wanting to say another word.
Zhang Anren felt awkward sitting there. He was redundant; besides being scared, he didn't help much. Now that everyone had dispersed and no one was paying attention to him, it was really hard to endure sitting there bored.
Fortunately, his awkwardness didn't last long. Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo helped the old lady in, and after a while, they came out again to go upstairs to pack things.
He hurriedly stopped them: "Nansun."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't help much here, and I'm adding to your trouble, so I'll go back first. If you need me, call me again."
Jiang Nansun looked at him and nodded: "Then you go back. Sorry to trouble you today, and you had to make this trip."
Zhang Anren shook his head: "What are you saying, Nansun? Your business is my business; what trouble is there? Isn't this what I should do? It's just that I really can't help much now, I hope you don't blame me."
"Yeah, you go."
Jiang Nansun stood in place, watching Zhang Anren wave at her at the door and then disappear. Looking at the empty doorway, she suddenly realized that she had had enough of Zhang Anren's sweet words and was tired of Zhang Anren's warm smile. For so long together, he seemed to always be talking, but when it came to action, there was really nothing.
He basically wouldn't take her out to eat; before it was the unchanging cafeteria, and after graduation, it was cooking at home. For some holidays, there had never been any decent gifts, always some simple things, accompanied by sweet words. When he did things, the first thing he considered was always money, and his actions were all petty. He was always sketching out a beautiful future for them together, always saying he would work hard, always seemingly infinitely tolerant of her.
But she wasn't stupid; she knew no one could keep a look forever, and she was waiting for Zhang Anren to show his true colors...
She didn't know how long she had been standing there. Noticing someone watching, she came back to her senses, turned to look at the stairs, and smiled sweetly: "Brother Yan, have you finished talking with Grandma Li?"
Wang Yan smiled and nodded, stepped down the stairs, and sat on the sofa while saying: "Buy her a small house with an elevator, and give her a sum of money for retirement."
In fact, that old lady had long wanted to leave. Because of the special reasons of the special period, although the house finally belonged to her, she was always living in someone else's home, having to pass through someone else's living room every time she came in, and then having to climb the stairs with difficulty. It was never comfortable to live there.
Originally, the Jiang family hadn't talked to the old lady about wanting to buy the third floor, but because the Jiang family was reluctant to spend money, the price had never been negotiated. Later, Jiang Pengfei's prodigal spirit came up again, investing in stocks and always losing, while housing prices were rising step by step, so naturally, they could afford it less and less.
The area of the third floor was about sixty square meters. According to current housing prices, it was at least over ten million, and there was an incomplete house premium included, which would be much higher. Otherwise, it would be a nail house; who could do anything to the old lady?
"Then the matter of buying the house..."
"Uncle Jiang, I'll help to the end. I've already thought about it before. I'll pay for this money first, and you can pay me back after the house is sold. If it can't be sold, then treat it as me buying the house, and I'll handle it later. It's impossible to lose money, so you don't have to have a burden. As long as you live comfortably in the future and don't do anything you can't think of, it won't be in vain that I spent so much effort to help you."
Jiang Pengfei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's better to live than to die, how could I not think of it? I've lived absurdly for half my life, and I've turned a good family business into this. I have to find some serious things to do, compensate them, and let everyone be happy."
"Hey, it's good that you think so. You haven't slept all night, right? Now that things are done, you should rest well. Life still has to go on. Don't worry about moving; take your time. Also, you can ask if anyone wants to buy a house. I really don't have much use for this house." Wang Yan waved his hand: "Alright, I'll go first. Uncle Jiang, rest well. Tomorrow we'll go to the bank to change the payment, and you can be at ease. Oh, sit down, we're not outsiders, don't see me off."
Jiang Pengfei was pressed back by Wang Yan halfway through standing up. Helpless, he had to look at his daughter: "Nansun, you go see him off."
"Nothing to see off, look, my car is parked at the door." After a few steps out of the door, Wang Yan pointed to the car parked at the door with a smile.
Jiang Nansun shook her head: "Even if it's just a step, I have to see you off. If it weren't for you, our family would really have been bankrupt this time, and maybe we would have had to carry debts. Now we don't have to worry about food and clothing, and maybe we can have some money left after selling the house. This is already a very good result."
"You think quite openly." Wang Yan patted her arm: "Go."
After speaking, he opened the car door, got in, and turned the car around neatly and left.
Jiang Nansun watched the black car turn into the lane and disappear. She was in a daze for a while before turning back into the room. As soon as she entered, she saw Zhu Suosuo carefully coming out of the old lady's room. She asked: "Is Grandma asleep?"
Zhu Suosuo gently closed the door and walked over: "After such a big shock today, and being scared before, she's old, so she's long tired. But Grandma can hold on, didn't reproach Uncle, and has been calmly controlling herself. I still admire her very much."
"Didn't I tell you before? During the special period, Grandma was reformed and had seen great storms." Glancing at her father, who was already asleep on the sofa, Jiang Nansun sighed, got a small blanket, and covered him: "Let's go, let's go up and pack."
After greeting Dai Yin, who was silently packing things on the second floor, the two went to the attic, closed the door, and then let out a long breath and relaxed. It was too oppressive.
Zhu Suosuo looked at Jiang Nansun with concern: "Are you okay?"
"What could be wrong with me? Didn't I tell you this morning? I had long anticipated this day. Besides, we didn't really go bankrupt, and we can still live comfortably in the future. And there's no more money for my dad to toss and turn. It's great, everyone is happy."
"I think Uncle is also very uncomfortable."
"He regrets it. A good family, let him toss into this state. It's too late to regret." Jiang Nansun sighed: "Thanks to him not having lived in vain all these years, at this time, there is still someone as powerful as Wang Yan to help."
"Regret it? Comparing today, Zhang Anren was crushed into slag. Wang Yan is only two years older than him. Even if he inherited some inheritance from his parents, he earned everything these years by himself. Look at how scared Zhang Anren was at that time, and then think about Wang Yan's leisurely stroll. The gap. If Wang Yan were your boyfriend, maybe your family could have been saved this time."
Zhu Suosuo said with a smile, without any care. Of course, she was just saying that. If her good sister really wanted to date Wang Yan, she wouldn't know what to do. It wasn't out of possessiveness, but she knew Wang Yan couldn't be considered a good person. Many times, on the nights Wang Yan didn't summon her, especially during her period, she knew Wang Yan definitely wasn't spending them alone. If her good sister followed Wang Yan, she would probably be eaten clean. Wang Yan would definitely acknowledge it, but wanting more, that was not certain.
She had also figured out some things after coming in. Like Wang Yan, who was rich and capable, there was no need to find a woman who was nothing to help him spend money, and maybe divide some of his money when divorcing. There was no need to find a woman of equal social status to hold him back to seek further opportunities. As for children, they could be born if he wanted, and there were plenty of people willing to give birth for him. Overall, women were really not important to Wang Yan. So she believed that Wang Yan would not establish a so-called boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with any woman, let alone get married...
Who would have thought, after she finished speaking, Jiang Nansun nodded: "Zhang Anren really can't compare..."
Zhu Suosuo was startled and looked at her good sister who was acting seriously: "You're not serious, right? You really have feelings for Wang Yan? You didn't have much contact before, just because he helped your family today, you want to give yourself to him?"
"Why are you so excited?" Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes and shook her head: "I have a lot of contact with him, just didn't tell you. Actually, since the time my dad arranged for me to go on a blind date with him and added WeChat, we have been chatting. You know he understands architecture, and his level is very high. I have always been asking him questions, and occasionally chatting about some things. He is very busy, and the time to reply to messages is uncertain, but he always replies. So we are very familiar, not just because of today's help.
Also, I didn't say I wanted to give myself to him. I nodded, just acknowledging Wang Yan's excellence. Also, most importantly, rather than saying I have a good impression of Wang Yan, it's better to say that my good impression of Zhang Anren has declined, or has it been worn out?"
Zhu Suosuo didn't understand: "Disappointed in Zhang Anren? Haven't you two always been fine?"
"The time he reported Wang Yongzheng, I was already very unhappy. He gave me the feeling of being an opportunistic, insidious, and despicable villain. Although Wang Yan analyzed it for me later, I also know I was wrong. Zhang Anren was indeed not wrong, and he also had to bear the consequences of being squeezed out at school later. But the previous thought had already arisen, and I couldn't let it go. So his original smoothness gave me the feeling that he was painstakingly managing his interpersonal relationships. He seemed to have a purpose and a plan for everyone.
Later, he brought that Yuan Yuan over again. At first, he didn't greet me. The person was about to arrive before he told me. He did it on purpose; otherwise, with his mind, how could he be so inconsiderate? At that time, he asked me if Yuan Yuan could stay at his place for a while. I didn't agree. But when I went in the evening, he told me in front of Yuan Yuan that he wanted Yuan Yuan to stay there for two days. It was clearly agreed, but in the end, he changed his mind, saying that the hotel outside was not safe. It's a society ruled by law. Didn't you see those ruffians who came to collect debts before were quite civilized?
I had no choice. Plus, having misunderstood Zhang Anren before, I had to swallow my pride and accept it. Later, you know, Yuan Yuan is Zhang Anren's ex-girlfriend. What was he thinking? Whether it's possible to continue the relationship, let's not mention it. How could he bring someone back and hide it from me? And today, I told him that something happened to my family and asked him to come over to see. In case something happened, he could help. As a result, he took the subway. Of course, it's not because he's poor, and it's not because he's stingy, but at this time, he was still calculating for a hundred or eighty yuan. This shows that in his heart, I am not very important..."
Jiang Nansun didn't have any special expression when she said this, and her movements of folding clothes didn't pause.
Seeing her like this, Zhu Suosuo asked: "So you plan to break up with Zhang Anren?"
"I haven't thought about it. After all, we've been together for more than two years, how can we break up just like that? It just so happens that our family is in this situation now. Although we still have money to spend, we can't be as extravagant as before. So I'm thinking of returning the house next to Zhang Anren, and then dismissing that auntie. This can also save a sum of expenses. Didn't you also want to rent a house to live out? The things you bought for me before can just be taken to your newly rented house."
"Right, I also spent tens of thousands on those things, can't let Zhang Anren take advantage. Okay, I'll go rent a house tomorrow, and then we'll live together, I'll support you."
"Forget it, our family still has some family foundation, where do I need you to support me? But living together is just right, that's what I thought."
"No problem, I'll call Yang Ke now and ask him to introduce me to renting a house, and take two days off by the way. I'll rent one tomorrow, and we'll move the day after tomorrow. I tell you, Nansun, I can't wait to live here now." Zhu Suosuo picked up her phone and said: "Isn't it necessary to buy another house for that Grandma Li? Or should I ask the manager if there is a suitable one?"
"Are you stupid? You sell new houses, or do you only do your company's products? Those new houses are all roughcast. Just decoration, removing smell and formaldehyde, will take a year. How can such a long time work? It must be a second-hand house, buy it and live in it directly."
"Then I'll ask if he knows a reliable intermediary, so we can spend less."
"As you wish..."
Jiang Nansun continued to pack things silently. Thinking about leaving, in this place where she had lived for more than twenty years, she was somewhat sad...
"Hello? Nansun?"
"Just got home, what's wrong?"
"Okay, you send me the contact information. It's okay, don't always be so polite. Okay, goodbye."
In the Tomson Riviera house, Wang Yan hung up the phone, fiddled with his phone, looked at the information sent by Jiang Nansun, and then forwarded it to his subordinates. Buying a house, where did he need to go out in person?
After sending the message, just as he was about to put down the phone, he saw Zhu Suosuo's avatar at the top. He clicked to look at it. The general idea was gastritis, can't accompany. Jiang family had such a change, she had to accompany Jiang Nansun, so she wouldn't come over to sleep. She also showed off that she sold two houses today and earned twenty thousand. This was pointing at him, letting him see that she sold two houses with her own ability and earned more money than his maintenance fee.
Wang Yan certainly couldn't get used to her problems, didn't even reply, and threw the phone aside.
The house Zhu Suosuo sold now was introduced by Xie Hongzu's friend, which was not enough to prove Zhu Suosuo's ability. Sales, of course, depend on ability, but also more on luck. The two houses Zhu Suosuo sold only showed that she was lucky. She had to be able to sell houses next month, sell houses the month after next, and then be able to sell them later. Even if the houses sold later were all introduced by Xie Hongzu, that was also ability. Now, she just sold ten houses in one breath, which was just good luck for a while.
Compared to Zhu Suosuo, Big Da Da Bo Lang was the capable one. Before knowing Wang Yan, the houses she sold in a year averaged one or two per month. And in the last month or so, she sold five. It was strength, combined with luck, that could be achieved.
Before, Wang Yan introduced her to four clients, two bought other houses, and two bought the Dongli that Jingyan Group just opened. The remaining one was a client she had followed for two months, successfully winning the monthly sales championship.
Her big waves were flying up and down behind her, her big baby was shaking with her twisting waist, she was looking down at the luck lying there with charming eyes, she was showing her strength to her luck...
After a long time, Big Da Da Bo Lang lay in Wang Mou's arms with a red face, breathing weakly.
"Anything recently?"
"A little."
"Very busy?"
"Not very busy, it's just the girl who introduced me to Zhu Suosuo, the age-gap friend I told you about, went bankrupt due to debt. She begged me, so I've been helping them deal with debt problems recently." Wang Yan said calmly, while the big baby changed shape in his hand: "You say yours, what's the matter?"
"Didn't you say before you wanted to go to Dongli to see? It just so happens that I don't have any clients recently, so I thought about taking you for a stroll and brushing some viewings for me."
"Isn't Dongli the star project that Jingyan Group has invested the most in recent years? The reputation is also quite good. It's only been open for a few days? You, the sales champion, started to deal with it?"
Big Da Da Bo Lang sighed: "Isn't it because of the impact of the stock market recently? I don't know which expert spoke again, saying there's going to be an economic crisis. At this time, cash is definitely king. Dongli's houses, one is fifty or sixty million, plus the constant singing of the property market, naturally fewer people buy."
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "I'm going to the bank with that friend tomorrow morning to pay for his house mortgage release. After that, I'll go find you. It shouldn't take long, and I should be able to catch up for lunch. Speaking of which, we've known each other for so long, and we haven't had lunch together yet."
"That's true, you flip the brand every day, meeting is at night, and there are not many words before you start tossing, tossing until midnight, tossing me thin..." Big Da Da Bo Lang curled her lips, symbolically expressing dissatisfaction, and suddenly said: "Speaking of Zhu Suosuo, she sold two houses in one breath this morning, both are large units of 420 square meters, with a commission of 108,800 for one. The key is that she originally wanted to sell the house to a rich second generation named Xie Hongzu, but the original house was bought by our boss's friend. She went there for a night, and sold two this morning. The whole company is discussing it. Think about it, did she wear a hat for you?"
"Didn't you say your relationship was good before? Besides, didn't your manager ask?"
"Who would admit such a thing? I think you've been greened."
"According to my understanding of her, she didn't have few boyfriends before. She also knows that I have more than one female companion besides her, so even if something really happened last night, it's hard to say who greened whom." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "And to say it ugly, the relationship between her and me is very pure. I pay, she sleeps, on call, it's that simple. Looking at her behavior of accompanying others from this kind of ambiguous maintenance relationship, it can't be said that I was greened."
He knew the truth, knew Zhu Suosuo's innocence last night. But even if he didn't know, it didn't matter.
He was very open-minded. After all, Zhu Suosuo couldn't be considered his woman, and he didn't think so. So the relationship between the two was no different from going to massage and adding time before getting the living father's care, except that the quality was higher, and there was an on-site service. But in fact, if he had the 50,000 he gave Zhu Suosuo before when he was massaging, and would add money from time to time depending on his mood, he didn't know if it was exclusive, but the on-site service was certain...
"You see it clearly, and your heart is bigger." Big Da Da Bo Lang was silent for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Then what about me? How do you see me?"
Women are always like this, always wanting to get some promises from men, saying they are the most important. Especially after the work is done, the emptiness of satisfaction fading will make them lack a sense of security.
Wang Yan's answer was very straightforward: "From the time we slept together until now, I've spent nearly two million on you. Also introduced four clients to you, your commission is more than 300,000. So you can leave me and pursue the happiness you want, I will agree. But you can't deceive me, that will make me very unhappy."
Of course, just saying it wasn't enough, he had to fill her emptiness again.
Big Da Da Bo Lang frowned, her breathing stopped for a moment, then she breathed rapidly, her long, white, tender fingers groping the muscles chiseled by knives and axes: "I really can't do it anymore..."
"Even if you can't, you have to. Your thinking is a bit crooked, it needs to be straightened..."
