Chapter 1074

Director Zhao smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly indicated, "There is basically only this one condition, and I expect you can agree to it."

When he heard the words "can give it," Su Zheyuan's mouth couldn't be suppressed, and he couldn't help but ask urgently, "Please tell me, what is the condition?"

Director Zhao said, "We require that if Zheyuan Group wants to build a resort hotel in such a core location in Jinhai Bay, then the overall cost of the project must reach over 500,000!"

This condition was like a passing line; the overall cost must reach a certain volume for the final result to meet expectations.

In short, if your investment is not enough, you are not worthy of this piece of land.

Shen Ci seemed to have a premonition; she had guessed in her heart that the condition proposed by the other party would be related to the cost, so she appeared very calm when she heard this sentence.

Su Zheyuan was slightly stunned, his mind subconsciously starting to calculate the group's current cash flow.

500,000 is not a small amount. Although it didn't mean he had to take out so much money all at once, he still had to evaluate the feasibility and risks.

But before he could think it through, Shen Ci had already preempted him and given the conclusion: "No problem. As long as the amount for this condition is evidence-based, we can agree."

500,000—there must be a reason for the other party to propose this amount. Shen Ci's meaning was that as long as the reason was reasonable, it would be fine.

Su Zheyuan looked at Shen Ci and couldn't help but lean in and whisper, "Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't figured it out yet..."

Shen Ci glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't think about it. If the group can afford it, take it; if it can't, I'll take it."

To her, things that can be solved with money are not things at all.

Hearing this, Director Zhao hurriedly nodded and said, "You can rest assured about that. This cost indicator definitely has actual projects as a reference."

"The currently most popular Edition Hotel in Yaha had a total construction cost of 460,000, and Capella had a total cost of 400,000."

"And that amount was the cost from many years ago. Now, giving you a minimum cost floor of 500,000 shouldn't be considered much."

Shen Ci had no concept of these, but Su Zheyuan understood.

He nodded and whispered, "Indeed, if we want to list a luxury hotel here, 500,000 is a conservative estimate."

"Then what are you thinking about?" Shen Ci raised an eyebrow, looked at Director Zhao, and made the final decision: "We agree."

Half an hour later, Director Zhao personally sent them to the main entrance.

"Chairman Su, Miss Shen, for now, please keep the intention we reached confidential. We will announce the final result of Jinhai Bay at a unified time."

Su Zheyuan was in high spirits, his whole person glowing.

"No problem, Director Zhao. This time, thanks to the care of the Yaha government and all the leaders, our Zheyuan Group will certainly live up to expectations and will never embarrass the Chinese hotel group."

"We certainly reached today's result based on our trust in your group. We look forward to the Zheyuan Group's hotel shining in Jinhai Bay in the future!"

They shook hands and said goodbye, and the whole thing was surprisingly smooth.

And the most crucial person in all of this was definitely Grandma.

"Grandma, I really want to thank you properly for this matter; you've helped us so much." Shen Ci looked at Grandma and spoke from the heart.

But Grandma appeared very calm and just smiled, "You help me, I help you; it's mutual, so let's not thank each other back and forth."

You reap what you sow.

If Shen Ci hadn't taken the initiative to help her that day, she might not have been so attentive to Shen Ci's affairs.

Longcheng, a high-end apartment.

In the dining room, candlelight flickered, and Lin Biqi was accompanying Huo Tiancheng for dinner.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. The medium-rare steak on the plate oozed blood under the pressure and cutting of the knife and fork, looking somewhat strange.

Huo Tiancheng looked up at Lin Biqi and said softly, "Have you considered it?"

Lin Biqi's movements paused, and she also looked up at Huo Tiancheng, her brows wrapped in a trace of doubt: "What?"

"Taking the child to attend that boy's engagement banquet." Huo Tiancheng spoke bluntly and asked again, "Have you considered it?"

Lin Biqi's reaction was very calm. She ate a piece of steak in a leisurely manner, and only after swallowing it completely did she respond: "Of course. I have been fantasizing about what kind of scene and opportunity it should be for him to see this child."

"Now this occasion is just right, one could even say it's perfect."

As Lin Biqi spoke, the corners of her mouth curled up subconsciously, as if she had already foreseen Li Xiao's jaw-dropping reaction upon learning the truth.

"And then?" Huo Tiancheng asked.

Lin Biqi raised an eyebrow: "And then? No need to think, it must be that his marriage with the Qiu family's daughter is off, and the Li family will not ignore this child. They will definitely come back to find me."

"It seems you have calculated everything," Huo Tiancheng said in a low voice, "And after that, are you going to take the child and marry into the Li family?"

Lin Biqi smiled without hesitation: "Of course. If it goes smoothly, this is the best result."

Hearing this, Huo Tiancheng exerted force on his hand imperceptibly, gripping the knife and fork tightly.

"Then what about me?" He looked at Lin Biqi and asked coldly.

Lin Biqi also looked at him, silent for a moment.

After a long while, she spoke slowly: "You promised me that you wouldn't interfere with my revenge on the Li family and that you would help me wholeheartedly."

"Help you marry in?" Huo Tiancheng frowned, "I'm not that selfless."

At least for him now, his liking for Lin Biqi was still genuine.

But Lin Biqi obviously wouldn't give up the opportunity to take revenge on Li Xiao for anyone, and she had endured for so long specifically to achieve her final goal.

She wanted to take the child and marry Li Xiao, and then torture him severely.

"I'm marrying him to take revenge on him. Besides, even if I don't marry him, who can I marry? You?" Lin Biqi asked with a look of disdain, because she knew Huo Tiancheng couldn't give her a status.

Huo Tiancheng was speechless. Lin Biqi sneered and shook her head: "It doesn't matter. I don't want your status either, but I can still be yours. When that time comes, I'll be a married woman; don't you think that's more exciting?"

Whether Huo Tiancheng felt it was exciting or not, Lin Biqi didn't care.

But if she continued to maintain a lover relationship with Huo Tiancheng, that would be a great insult to Li Xiao, and this was the source of her pleasure.

Huo Tiancheng was not annoyed by Lin Biqi's crazy nonsense. He put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, stood up, looked down at her, and said word by word: "As long as you are with me for a day, you cannot let other men touch you. This is my bottom line."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Lin Biqi sat in the chair and watched his back disappear. After a long time, she suddenly laughed.

Touch her?

By that time, Li Xiao would probably hate her even more to the bone, so how could he possibly be willing to touch her?
