Chapter 1025: A Little Something in the Belly

The police officer recognized Zhou Andong the moment they met, so he was very polite.

"Mr. Zhou, please rest assured, we will definitely handle this impartially."

Seeing Jian Qiu took a business card out of her bag and handed it to the woman: "Take this card. If the police don't handle this matter fairly, call us."

"Thank you, thank you!"

After this brief moment of relief, the woman felt much better and kept bowing to thank Seeing Jian Qiu and Zhou Andong.

"We have things to do, so we'll be going now." Seeing Jian Qiu supported the woman and looked at the police officer: "I hope you can really do what you said and handle this impartially."

The police officer said: "Since I wear this uniform, I must live up to its color."

Zhou Andong had a good impression of this officer and shook his hand.

"With those words from you, I can rest easy."

Watching Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu leave, the officer instructed his colleagues.

"Help him pick up the fruit on the ground."

Several officers began to clean up the fruit on the ground, and the onlookers joined in as well.

In less than ten minutes, they had gathered up the fruit that hadn't been ruined and placed it back on the stall they had set back up.

The officer said to the vendor: "Pack up your stall, then come with me to the police station to explain the situation and give a statement."

The vendor nodded, began to pack up, and put everything onto the human-powered tricycle behind him.

After cleaning up, he pushed the tricycle and followed the police to the station, along with the officers in uniform.

In the top-floor cafe of the Garden Hotel, Zhou Anlei had a cigarette in his mouth, sat with his legs crossed, and rested his arms on the back of the sofa behind him.

"Mr. Zhuo, the land plot in Nansha has already risen to 600,000 per mu, and it will rise even further. Zhou Andong gave me 320 million, and that was only because I was in urgent need of money, which is why I agreed to him."

"But you're giving me 340 million—are you insulting my character? Do you think I would ruin my own reputation and offend Zhou Andong for a mere 20 million?"

Zhuo Qihua frowned: "Mr. Zhang, I've raised the price by 20 million directly; my sincerity is already sufficient."

"20 million is indeed not a small sum."

Zhou Anlei took the cigarette out of his mouth and leaned over to flick the ash.

"But it's impossible for me to smash my own reputation and offend Zhou Andong for 20 million. It's not worth it."

Zhuo Qihua smiled slightly: "Are you really that afraid of offending Zhou Andong?"

Zhou Anlei's eyelids twitched. *You motherfucker, you're actually quite smart, knowing I'm afraid of him. *

"This isn't a matter of being afraid or not; what we value in China is human relationships. Besides, Zhou Andong also has a real estate company. Who can say for sure whether we'll have opportunities to cooperate in the future?"

Zhuo Qihua had the least respect for second-generation rich kids like Zhang Liangping, so he stopped wasting words.

"Speak, how much do you want?"

Zhou Anlei was just about to state a price when he suddenly remembered what Zhou Andong had told him: don't offer a price yourself, let the other party make the offer.

"I've already said, that piece of land in Nansha has risen to 600,000 per mu. You tell me, how much can you give me? Of course, if it's still 340 million, then there's no need to talk."

Zhuo Qihua looked at Zhou Anlei with great surprise. He had thought this guy was just a second-generation rich kid relying on his family; he hadn't expected him to have a little something in his belly after all.

"I can give you at most 350 million."

Zhou Anlei pondered for a moment: "Let me consider it."

"Good!" Zhuo Qihua raised his coffee cup: "I'll use coffee instead of wine to toast Mr. Zhang."

Zhou Anlei also raised his coffee cup to signal, lowered his head to take a sip, and then stood up to say.

"Let's leave it at that then."

Zhuo Qihua made a gesture of invitation: "I hope Mr. Zhang can give me an answer as soon as possible."

"Tomorrow!" Zhou Anlei looked at Si Wei: "Aren't you leaving?"

Si Wei smiled slightly: "I'll chat with Mr. Zhuo for a while."

Zhou Anlei took a deep look at Zhuo Qihua, nodded at Si Wei, and walked away.

Watching Zhou Anlei's figure walk out of the cafe door, Zhuo Qihua said: "This guy has been hiding his light; he's actually quite shrewd."

Si Wei's eyes flickered: "If he really is hiding his light, then he will definitely go find Zhou Andong."

Zhuo Qihua narrowed his eyes slightly: "It won't be easy for us to take down that piece of land; it all depends on where Zhou Andong's bottom line is."

Si Wei looked at Zhuo Qihua: "What if Zhou Andong raises the price?"

Zhuo Qihua sneered: "If it exceeds the true value of that land, then let Zhou Andong have it. We'll just go find the local government and get a plot of land approved next to it."

Si Wei was unwilling, but she also knew that as long as there were other choices, there was no need to get into a bidding war with Zhou Andong, which would only benefit Zhao Liangping in the end.

………………

Zhou Andong and Seeing Jian Qiu had just returned to the hotel and entered their room when Zhou Anlei arrived.

"Talked it over."

Zhou Andong poured a cup of tea and sat on the sofa: "How did it go?"

Zhou Anlei recounted what happened: "In the end, he offered me 350 million."

"Not bad." Zhou Andong picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Go see him again tomorrow and say I offered 380 million. Remember, you cannot offer a price; let him offer."

"Understood!" Zhou Anlei was very excited. Thinking that 100,000 yuan was about to be in his hands, he felt like he was about to float away.

Zhou Andong began to shoo him away: "Alright, you go back first. I need to rest for a while; there are still quite a few things to do this afternoon."

"Good!" Zhou Anlei stood up readily and left.

Zhou Andong picked up Seeing Jian Qiu from the side and walked toward the bedroom: "Let's continue researching the next generation of smart products."

……

……

……

Seeing Jian Qiu felt as if she were a small boat sailing through a sudden and violent storm.

Rising and falling, white waves rolling, her soul entered a truly wonderful state.

Floating in the air the whole time, slowly rising higher and higher. Just then, a huge wave crashed down.

She couldn't help but let out a sharp cry; her soul seemed to be pulled out of her body, but in just an instant, it returned to its original place.

The feeling just now was too stimulating; her body kept trembling.

"Hoo!"

She didn't know how much time had passed, but Seeing Jian Qiu let out a long breath, reached out to take a tissue from the bedside table, and wiped the sweat off Zhou Andong's face.

"Why are you so excited today?"

Zhou Andong turned over and lay down: "Thinking that I can earn 100 or 200 million just by flipping a hand, how could I not be excited?"

Seeing Jian Qiu rolled her eyes and sat up: "Hurry up and go take a shower. The people sent by Yuxi Real Estate should have landed by now and will be here soon."

Zhou Andong lit an after-sex cigarette, then got up, held Seeing Jian Qiu, and went into the shower room together.

The two of them messed around, took a shower, and it took half an hour before they came out.

After changing clothes and turning on the TV, not even ten minutes had passed when the door was knocked on.

"They're here!" Seeing Jian Qiu got up to open the door.

Standing outside the door were five people; it was exactly the team sent by Yuxi Real Estate.

The team leader was actually Xiao Lingzi, along with two lawyers, one accountant, and a young girl who was Xiao Lingzi's assistant.

(For those who forgot about Xiao Lingzi, please see Chapter 399)
