Chapter 1381

Jian Qiu pulled Zhou Andong's ear and looked down at him, "You asked me to call him, is it because you want me to ask when he's coming down?"

Zhou Andong chuckled and gave a thumbs up, "They say pregnancy makes you stupid for three years,

otherwise I'd say my wife is a top student at Cambridge; I really can't compare to this IQ."

Jian Qiu rolled her eyes at him, "Asking Old Jian to come down, you want him to stand on stage for you, right?"

"What kind of talk is that," Zhou Andong said very dissatisfied, "In this one-third of an acre in Jiangzhou, is there anything I, Zhou Andong, can't solve that requires bringing out my father-in-law to stand on stage?"

Jian Qiu curled her lip in disdain, "Stop bragging, the so-called inspection team from the province is enough to make you scratch your head, right?"

"Hmph!" Zhou Andong snorted, "Those are just lice on the head; they're easy to deal with."

"Just keep being stubborn," Jian Qiu patted Zhou Andong's face, "Get up, I'll call and ask."

"Alright!" Zhou Andong sat up.

Jian Qiu got up, walked behind the desk, sat down, picked up the phone, and dialed a string of numbers.

Soon, Jian Zhengxue's voice came from the receiver, "Hello, who is this!"

Zhou Andong leaned against Jian Qiu's face to eavesdrop, and hearing Jian Zhengxue ask who it was, he couldn't help but think.

Not having caller ID is really inconvenient; think about it, there are only a limited number of people who can call Old Jian's office directly.

If there was caller ID, he would definitely know who was calling.

However, in June of this year, with the removal of manual long-distance stations, long-distance calls entered an automated network.

Caller ID was also opened, but it required a monthly fee.

This cost, for an individual family, could be considered a small expense. But for enterprises and institutions, it was nothing.

Jian Qiu's mouth curled into a beautiful arc, "Comrade Jian Zhengxue, I am very dissatisfied with you right now."

Hearing his daughter's voice, Old Jian was very happy, but what she said made him unable to laugh.

"How can you say that? Where did I do something wrong? I request Comrade Jian Qiu to criticize and correct me."

Jian Qiu held back her laughter and said, "I heard from your son-in-law that you miss him very much, so you want to come over to see him?

What's going on? Does your daughter have no place in your heart? I call you to chat for a while, and you always say you're busy.

Ah, you miss your son-in-law, so you're not busy anymore, right? And you want to come to Jiangzhou to see him; do you know how sad I am?"

"Who told you that? I miss him, and I want to go see him."

Jian Zhengxue explained hurriedly; the son-in-law could be betrayed and abandoned at any time, but the daughter absolutely could not be offended.

"Did Zhou Andong tell you that? Don't listen to his nonsense; it was him who called me, saying something about a son-in-law being half a son.

The son has achieved results, and he hopes to get affirmation from me as a father, so he invited me down to take a look."

Jian Qiu looked at Zhou Andong with a strange expression, "No need to explain; explanation is just cover-up.

However, although this daughter is dispensable in your heart, if you want to come to Jiangzhou, I have to entertain you properly.

Tell me, which day are you coming? I'll prepare; don't let people say I'm an unfilial daughter; that would be so unjust."

"..."

Jian Zhengxue gritted his teeth; this brat Zhou Andong doesn't want me to have an easy time. Fine, you just wait for me.

"I'm coming down the day after tomorrow."

"Fine!" Jian Qiu agreed, "I'll prepare here."

"Prepare what?"

On critical issues, Jian Zhengxue was not ambiguous. Although his son-in-law and daughter were major shareholders, he wasn't going to visit his daughter's home, but to inspect, and some influences had to be paid attention to.

"Don't do those useless things; follow the regulations."

At his position, there was no need for those below to do those vain things to show his status and position.

"Understood."

Jian Qiu hung up the phone and looked at Zhou Andong with a smile.

"Heh... hehe..."

Zhou Andong gave a dry laugh, "I didn't lie to you; it really was Dad who said he missed me and wanted to come see me. You have to know, he's an elder, and being complained about by you, his daughter, he would definitely defend himself."

Jian Qiu's mouth twitched, "I didn't say anything; what are you explaining?"

Zhou Andong said stubbornly, "I'm just stating the facts and telling you the truth."

Jian Qiu was about to say something when the office door was suddenly knocked.

This sounded like a heavenly melody to Zhou Andong's ears. This person came at just the right time; it was a lifesaver.

"Come in!"

The office door was pushed open, and seeing the person who entered, Zhou Andong was stunned.

"Chairman Zhao, why did you run to Jiangzhou?"

The person who came was none other than Zhao Liangping. A few days ago, this guy ran to Beijing, and just as Zhou Andong returned to Jiangzhou, he didn't see anyone and played in Beijing for several days.

Last night, he bought a train ticket to Jiangzhou, slept on the train for a night, and didn't rush over when he arrived in the morning, but wandered around Jiangzhou for most of the day.

Zhao Liangping said with a smile, "I came over to thank you."

Zhou Andong was even more confused, "Thank me?"

"Right!" Zhao Liangping greeted Jian Qiu again, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Welcome Chairman Zhao to Jiangzhou," Jian Qiu shook hands with Zhao Liangping with a smile, then poured Zhao Liangping a cup of tea.

"Thank you!" Zhao Liangping took the teacup and said to Zhou Andong, "I'm saying that for that land transaction, you settled in US dollars, which made me earn a big sum. So, I must come over personally to thank you."

Zhou Andong blinked; this guy's words sounded so fantastical to his ears.

Zhao Liangping didn't care whether Zhou Andong believed him or not, "I went to Beijing; that courtyard of yours is really nice. How about it, are you selling? I guarantee to give you a satisfactory price."

Zhou Andong looked at Zhao Liangping speechlessly; why was this guy talking so incoherently? Had he been stimulated by something?

"When we were talking business, you seemed like a very steady person; why have you become so abnormal now? What inhumane thing happened to you to make you become like this?"

Zhao Liangping held the teacup, sitting there calmly, just like before, as if he hadn't heard Zhou Andong's words.

"Just tell me, how much are you selling it for."

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment, "Are you really going to buy it?"

"Of course!" Zhao Liangping smiled faintly, "I am full of sincerity, otherwise how could I let you name the price."

Zhou Andong smiled and raised two fingers.

Zhao Liangping asked tentatively, "Two million?"

Zhou Andong didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Liangping.

Zhao Liangping raised his eyebrows, "You aren't going to sell it to me for twenty million, are you?"

Zhou Andong raised two fingers, still not speaking.

"Damn!" Zhao Liangping cursed, "That courtyard of yours is indeed quite good, but it's not worth two hundred million."

Zhou Andong smiled and shook his two fingers, "I said two billion."
