Chapter 278: It's Shen Ci

"You haven't checked? Then how do you know what her family background is?" Li Wanchang glared with tiger eyes and questioned through gritted teeth.

Such a tone made Mrs. Li even more confused: "Does that need to be specially checked? Wouldn't you know after asking around? What's wrong with you today, why do you keep mentioning Shen Ci?"

"You really are more than enough to fail but not enough to succeed!" Li Wanchang scolded viciously.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately exploded, "slapping" the chopsticks in her hand onto the table: "Li Wanchang! What kind of nameless wind are you blowing? How have I offended you again?"

Her days recently had been miserable enough; her son was not by her side and was far away on the other side of the ocean. Whenever she thought of her son, her heart felt sour.

Since her son left, her sky had darkened, and she only felt that these days had lost their drive.

But Li Wanchang didn't think so. His son went abroad to study and changed his major, which was exactly what he hoped for, so he supported it incomparably and gave his son the best material conditions and support abroad.

"Do you know who snatched the industrial park that the group lost last year?" Li Wanchang stared at his wife's eyes and asked back.

Mrs. Li's mind was a mess, and she retorted upon hearing this: "When have you ever allowed me to ask about the group's affairs? How would I know who bought it? It wasn't me who bought it!"

"Shen Ci!"

Li Wanchang roared, the sound heavy and powerful, echoing in the dining room, as if he wanted to lift the roof off.

Mrs. Li was so frightened that her body trembled, and an unbelievable expression spread across her face: "Who, who? Shen Ci?"

"That's right, it's Shen Ci, the Shen Ci you said wasn't worthy of your son, who snatched the land that should have belonged to us with a capped budget two hundred thousand higher than the group's!"

"How is that possible!" Mrs. Li shook her head in disbelief: "Absolutely impossible, she's just an ordinary girl from Shengang, and she still has to rely on scholarships at school."

"Ignorant! Stupid!" Li Wanchang patted the table: "More than two hundred thousand! A company with a market value of one million might not necessarily have so much cash flow. If she can take it out, you still say she's a girl from an ordinary family?"

Even though the facts were already before her eyes, Mrs. Li still couldn't believe it.

"Something must have gone wrong somewhere. This is absolutely impossible. Is it possible that she is bidding on behalf of someone else? Don't you often encounter low-key investors using agents to bid?"

Li Wanchang said: "The latest owner of the industrial park has been publicized. At first, when I saw the name Shen Ci, I thought it was just a coincidence. The person I sent to investigate has already confirmed it to me. Now, the owner of that industrial park is Shen Ci, the Shen Ci we know!"

Mrs. Li was speechless.

She looked shocked, and her heart was even harder to accept.

After Li Wanchang finished venting his anger, he quickly calmed down. He also knew that blaming anyone at this time was useless and couldn't save anything.

But that industrial park land was very important to the Li family. When he made up his mind to buy that land, it was because the group already had a new development project.

And that industrial park was the perfect project land.

"Does the group want that land?" Mrs. Li came back to her senses after a long time and also saw Li Wanchang's thoughts.

Li Wanchang glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "If Shen Ci hadn't appeared halfway, we would have successfully bought the land last year with the Li family's capital limit."

"However, although we missed out, the group had a large amount of capital flowing back at the end of the year, and it is possible to add some price on the original basis. If Shen Ci is willing to sell, she will make a profit."

Obviously, Li Wanchang regarded Shen Ci as a middleman speculating in land.

Personally holding such a large industrial park, the possibility of land speculation was the greatest.

Because the industrial park itself could no longer be maintained. If it were to continue operating after taking over, it wouldn't break even in a hundred years.

And Shen Ci didn't have a registered company, which meant there was no project waiting to be developed. So if he gave a very attractive price, then as long as the land was flipped once in Shen Ci's hands, she could easily make money, so she should have no reason to refuse!

"The Li family wants to talk business with Shen Ci? What right does she have!" Mrs. Li said indignantly.

"Because this land is hers, and our Li family needs this land!" Li Wanchang glared at her: "Can you be a little more clear-headed? A woman's view!"

"I..."

Li Wanchang raised his hand impatiently: "Don't interfere in anything related to Shen Ci in the future. This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. It was so unpleasant before, it will definitely affect subsequent matters, so I can't let Shen Ci know that it's the Li family that wants that land. I have to arrange for someone she is completely unfamiliar with to talk to her!"

Saying this, a suitable candidate was already in Li Wanchang's mind.

He took out his phone and dialed quickly. The phone rang once and was quickly answered: "Chairman?"

"Yongxiu, I have something to entrust to you..."

The next day, Shen Ci got up early and went downstairs.

Her mother had already made breakfast, and Shen Xing was already sitting at the dining table.

"Morning, Sister!"

Unlike the first day when he was too excited and caused insomnia, Shen Xing looked exceptionally energetic today.

She smiled, touched her brother's head, and then entered the kitchen: "Mom, did you sleep well?"

Shen Jingjing was frying eggs and said upon hearing this: "Very well. Do you want some sugar in your soy milk?"

"No," Shen Ci said: "Mom, Shen Xing and I will both go to school in a while. I usually come back on weekends. If you have anything to do at home alone during the day, remember to call me. There is everything around the residential area, you can walk around as you like, just pay attention to safety."

"Mom knows, you don't have to worry about me, hurry up and eat and go to school."

At seven o'clock, Uncle Jiang's car honked its horn outside on time.

Shen Ci pulled her packed suitcase and quickly went out the door. Shen Jingjing sent her to the door and waved from afar.

"Happy start of school!"

As soon as she got in the car, Gu Lianxing suddenly shouted. Fortunately, Shen Ci was already used to her sudden outbursts, just glanced at her speechlessly, and then greeted Uncle Jiang and Jiang Lingchuan.

"Are Aunt and brother settled down? When will you invite us to your house for dinner? I miss Aunt's craftsmanship!" Gu Lianxing intimately hooked Shen Ci's arm, leaned her whole head on her shoulder, blinked, and asked.

"Next week. Last night, Mom asked about Pili again. When she heard that Pili's master had passed away, she couldn't help but cry again."

Perhaps because she was a mother of three children, her mother was always easy to empathize with the matter of a child losing their mother.

And Pili had lost her mother more than once.

Mentioning Pili, Lianxing sat up straight and sighed: "I don't know if she's really okay. Since she went back, I've taken the initiative to ask her out twice, and I feel she hasn't completely walked out of it yet."

"How could it be so easy to let go of such a thing? Give her more time," Shen Ci said.
