Ji Xiuran's low voice came from the other side of the phone.
Zhao Ningchu's expression was calm: "Mr. Ji, is something wrong?"
Ji Xiuran repeated what he just said. Zhao Ningchu sighed helplessly and then told Ji Xiuran what happened today. At the end, she added: "I will solve this matter myself..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran interrupted: "How do you solve it yourself?"
"I'm sorry to have woken you up, Mr. Ji. If nothing's wrong, I'll hang up first."
Zhao Ningchu hung up the phone, and Su Yang drove over and said, "Madam, are you really not going to let Mr. Ji help you?"
"Su Yang, I have divorced Ji Xiuran. Please stop calling me wife. It's awkward."
Su Yang looked stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"
Back to where Gu Ran lived, the two little guys were already asleep. Zhao Ningchu stood by the bed and looked at the two little guys who had fallen asleep, feeling very uncomfortable.
She shouldn't have let Shao Sinian come over. If Shao Sinian hadn't come, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
Zhao Ningchu covered the two little guys with quilts, walked out of the bedroom, and saw Gu Ran still in the living room.
"Ran Ran, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Gu Ran sighed: "How can you let me sleep when something like this happens?"
Zhao Ningchu said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry for causing trouble for you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ran stepped forward and took Zhao Ningchu's arm: "What are you talking about? Which of us is following whom?"
After saying that, something suddenly occurred to her, and Gu Ran continued to speak: "I heard from Su Yang that someone wants to kill you?"
"It's okay now. Fortunately, Su Yang arrived in time."
"When I heard it, I was scared to death. How could your uncle be such a crazy fan?"
"I'm fine now, don't worry, go to bed, I have to go to the store tomorrow."
Zhao Ningchu didn't say what she was thinking, mainly because she didn't want Gu Ran to worry.
Because of the incident of being blocked, Zhao Ningchu has not dared to go out recently. Only Gu Ran went to the store early.
"Mommy, why do we have to stay at Aunt Ranran's house recently?"
Nini was sitting on a small chair. Zhao Ningchu was combing her hair and said, "I haven't seen your Aunt Ranran for a long time. I'm playing at her house for a few days."
"But Nini wants to go to school."
Zhao Ningchu's hand paused for a moment, and then she said: "Baby, wait a few days, can you just stay at home with mommy these days?"
Nini was a little disappointed. She really liked going to school and playing with the children, but her mother said so. Of course she had to accompany her mother first.
"Oh well!"
"Tie up your hair and go play. You are allowed to watch TV today."
As soon as Zhao Ningchu finished speaking, the cell phone next to him rang.
Zhao Ningchu picked up her phone and looked at the note. It was Gu Ran calling.
She answered the phone,
"Hey Ranran..."
"Achu, have you seen the video I sent you?"
"I just tied Nini's hair and I haven't looked at it yet. What's wrong?"
"You should take a look first,"
Zhao Ning initially clicked on the message Gu Ran sent her, and after seeing the situation inside, she was extremely angry.
In the video, bright red paint was splashed on the store, which looked like blood. It was extremely scary. There were also several big words written in red paint, all of which were curses.
Because of his anger, Zhao Ningchu's hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
Who did it?
If she was found out, she would definitely not let it go.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ningchu's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.
The phone rang again, bringing her back from her thoughts, and she answered the call.
"Ran Ran..."
"Look, it's really too much. I've already called the police, and the police are on their way now."
"Calling surveillance cameras to see who did it. We must not let these people go."
"Already working on it."
"That's good!"
"Ah Chu, even if we find out clearly this time, we still won't be able to open this store."
Zhao Ningchu fell silent and did not speak.
How could she not know? After finally opening the store and making some progress, she encountered this kind of problem.
"Ran Ran, do you regret the loss this time?"
Zhao Ningchu spoke.
Gu Ran's relaxed voice came from the phone: "Do you have any regrets? This is how business is done, Ah Chu, otherwise let's change a store and start over."
"I think so too, but I may not be able to show up at the new store for a while."
"I know, leave it all to me, I have experience now."
"I'll check first to see where to choose the site."
"Ah Chu, why don't we find another place, not in Yanjing?"
Zhao Ning was a little surprised when he heard this: "You..."
"If you don't want to go back, start over in the county seat."
"What about Su Yang? Will he agree?"
"Oh, it's not very far. Let's just choose a county town that's closer to the city."
"Longli County is relatively close, and it only takes an hour to drive on the highway."
"Okay, let's do an on-site inspection then. If we change places, I don't believe those people are still chasing after us so closely."
"Then I'll go take a look tomorrow. You can stay and help me take care of the two little guys and finalize this matter as soon as possible."
If Longli County really finds the right one, they will bring the elderly and children there. As for Ji Xiuran, they will probably never see each other again in this life.
That's fine too.
Ji's Group
"Mr. Ji, there are still a few companies that are not very willing to acquire Longli County. Look..."
Ji Xiuran frowned slightly: "Nail house?"
Su Zhan nodded tremblingly without saying anything.
"I'll go over there in the afternoon and you can take care of the company's affairs."
Su Yang was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ji Xiuran to handle it personally. If Ji Xiuran went to Longli, what would Zhao Ningchu do?
With so many things happening recently, Su Yang wanted to tell Ji Xiuran about Zhao Ningchu's danger, but Zhao Ningchu told him not to tell him, and for a while he felt unsure.
Ji Xiuran saw that Su Yang was still standing and said, "What? Is there anything else?"
Su Yang thought for a while and said: "Mr. Ji, you really don't plan to help my wife!
Ji Xiuran stopped what he was doing, leaned lazily on the backrest, and said casually: "She said she wouldn't let me take action!"
"It's not like you don't know my wife's temper."
"Don't worry about it, maybe you can add some fuel to the fire."
When Su Yang heard this, he looked at Ji Xiuran in disbelief: "Mr. Ji, you..."
"Do as I say."
Ji Xiuran directly interrupted what Su Yang was saying, picked up his phone and looked at the photo of Zhao Ningchu on the screen. The expression on his face was always calm, and there was no sign of any emotional ups and downs.
He was betting that he would cut off all Zhao Ningchu's escape routes and become her only escape route.
Zhao Ningchu didn't know Ji Xiuran's plan, and she set out early the next morning.
Zhao Ningchu drove there by herself, planning to find a suitable location and open the store as soon as possible.
But she didn't expect that her car had a flat tire just after passing the toll booth.
Zhao Ningchu patted the steering wheel speechlessly, looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, not knowing what to do for a while.
At this time, a young boy came over.
"Beauty, do you need repairs?"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she looked at him warily. After thinking about it, she still refused.
"Beauty, don't worry, I run a repair shop and I won't trick you."
"No, I'll just ask the insurance company to tow it away."
"That will take a long time. We are a regular auto repair shop. If you want to repair it, I will help you tow the car to the shop."
Zhao Ningchu thought for a while, then said: "What is the name of your store and where is it?"
The other party told Zhao Ningchu his name and address. Zhao Ningchu checked it online and confirmed that there was such a store before agreeing.
The young man smiled helplessly: "The beautiful sister is quite defensive."
"Isn't that the right thing to do when you go out?"
"It should, it should." After saying that, he helped Zhao Ningchu check the car's problems, and then said: "I will take the hook and tow it away, you can just follow."
After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and quickly said: "What is the name of the beautiful sister? My name is Xiao Yi."
"Zhao Ningchu!"
"What a nice name."
After saying that, he got into his car.
When we arrived at the repair shop, it had already been an hour. Zhao Ningchu sat in the car and took a look. The shop was quite big.
"Beautiful sister, get out of the car and I'll ask our boss to check it for you. He's usually responsible for a luxury car like yours."
After saying that, he called a girl to take Zhao Ningchu to the lounge.
The staff member said politely: "Hello, what should I call you?"
"Zhao Ningchu!"
"Ms. Zhao, please sit down first and I'll pour you some water."
After saying that, the staff was about to leave when Zhao Ningchu stopped her and said, "Is your boss coming here now?"
"He will check on your car first and then come over. Please wait."
After saying that, he exited the lounge.
Zhao Ningchu sat in the lounge, took out her cell phone and called Gu Ran.
"Hey Ranran..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ran's excited voice came from the mobile phone.
"How's it going? Have you seen a suitable facade?"
"It couldn't have been so fast. I had a flat tire as soon as I got to the car."
"Ah, are you so unlucky?"
Zhao Ningchu sighed: "No."
"Then what do you do now?"
"The car has been towed to the repair shop and is being repaired. How are the two little guys?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Ningchu heard the door of the lounge being pushed open from the outside. She turned her head and looked, and when she saw the person at the door, her expression suddenly froze.
Gu Ran talked a lot on the phone, but Zhao Ningchu didn't respond. Gu Ran shouted repeatedly: "Hey, Ah Chu, I'm talking to you."
Zhao Ningchu came to her senses and said in a low voice: "I have something to do now, I will contact you later."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
When Lu Ze saw Zhao Ningchu, he was also stunned on the spot.
Five years ago, after learning that Zhao Ningchu had died in a car accident, Lu Ze felt guilty. He had not slept peacefully for a day in so many years.
"Xiao Chu..."
Lu Ze spoke.
Zhao Ningchu stood up from the sofa and looked at the boy in front of her.
She thought she would be disgusted or even hate him when he saw her again. It turned out that as time went by, her hatred gradually dissipated.
"Lu Ze, long time no see!"
"You, you're not dead?"
Zhao Ningchu pretended to be relaxed and said: "You are destined to be lucky, but you will not die."
Seeing the distant yet polite smile on Zhao Ningchu's face, Lu Ze felt very uncomfortable.
He really hoped that Zhao Ningchu would see him and scold him severely and beat him up, instead of being like this without any trouble.
When Zhao Ning saw that he didn't speak at first, she continued, "Do you open this store?"
Lu Ze nodded: "Yeah!"
"fine!"
"And you?""
Lu Ze looked straight at Zhao Ningchu.
Zhao Ningchu truthfully stated her thoughts. Lu Ze was a little surprised when he heard this.
"You want to open a store here?"
"Yeah, but I'm still looking at the facade. You are familiar with this place. You should know where there are more people."
"Yeah, I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi walked in. He happened to hear Zhao Ningchu talking about opening a store, so he said, "Sister Ningchu, are you planning to open a store here?"
Zhao Ningchu nodded: "Yes!"
Lu Ze looked at Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, didn't I hear before that your grandpa wants to rent out your shop?"
"Yes, it was originally left to me to do business, but I don't like it. I just like playing with cars."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he was a little excited: "Where is the location?"
"Yuanxi Street is the most prosperous street here, with everything to eat, drink and have fun."
"Can I go take a look?"
"Okay, but..." Xiao Yi hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Ningchu asked.
"I heard from my grandfather last night that a big boss came yesterday and wanted to acquire all the shops on Xiyuan Street and prepare to develop it into a special attraction."
"Acquisition?"
"Yeah, I don't know if my grandfather agrees."
"Can you take me to see it now?"
"Okay, but it's my working hours now, maybe..." Before he finished speaking, Lu Ze said, "I'll give you a day off, and take her there."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi said excitedly: "Brother Ze is the best..."
Ji Xiuran sat in the car and looked out the window.
"Mr. Ji, this shop is at the core of this street."
The project leader spoke.
Ji Xiuran hummed indifferently.
The driver continued: "Basically everything around us has been negotiated, just these few."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiuran opened the car door, got out of the car and walked towards the shop.
When the old man at the door of the shop saw Ji Xiuran, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Boss Ji, you are here."
The old man had a smile on his face and felt very proud in his heart.
Fortunately, I insisted on not agreeing, so now I can negotiate a good price.
Ji Xiuran said with an indifferent expression: "Old man, isn't it a pity that your shop is empty without doing business?"
"Originally, I wanted to leave it to my grandson to do some small business, but that bastard lady doesn't like doing business and plans to rent it out. How can she earn tens of thousands of yuan a month for living expenses? It's better than selling it at a fixed price."
Ji Xiuran's eyebrows were frivolous: "Tell me, how much is it?"
The old man thought for a moment and raised five fingers.
When the project manager on the side saw this, he quickly said: "Half a million? Didn't we also give you half a million before?"
"Of course not, it's five million!"
When the project manager heard this, he immediately became angry.
"What? Why don't you go and grab it?"
The old man said with a smile: "Boss Ji, I am at the core here, so it is naturally different from other places. If you don't want to, then there is no way to talk."
Ji Xiuran sneered, turned around and left.
When the old man saw this, he suddenly panicked.
"Hey, Boss Ji, you don't want this shop anymore?"
"Old man, to be honest, I really like this one, but I am a businessman and I don't do loss-making business. Even if I miss you, I won't lose money, but you are different."
Qu Cheng smiled, turned around and winked at Ah Si,
When the old man heard this, his expression changed: "You, what do you mean?"
"I have already bought all the shops in this street. They will all be renovated when the time comes. If yours alone is out of place, no one will dare to rent it."
After hearing this, the old man thought about it and realized that this was what happened.
"Then how much will you pay?"
"Two million, if you don't want to, then forget it."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. The old man considered the pros and cons, gritted his teeth, and called Ji Xiuran.
"make a deal!"
"Okay, then let's sign the contract!"
After saying that, he glanced at the project manager. The project manager quickly took out the contract and handed it to the old man: "Old man, take a look and sign if there are no problems. I will transfer all the money to you today."
The old man couldn't understand, but he had a close mind, so he said: "Well, can I ask my grandson to come back and help me look at it? My old man can't read."
"No problem. I'll give you a deposit of 300,000 yuan first. You can go back and take a look at it with the contract."
Walking alone along the winding field path, "Hey, Mr. Qu, don't leave yet..."
After saying that, he took out a check and handed it to the old man.
The old man had never seen a check in his life and could not understand the meaning on it, so he said: "This is three hundred thousand? A piece of paper?"
The project manager said: "Sir, here is the check!"
"My old man doesn't understand this. How about this? Boss Ji, I'll take the check first. You wait here for a while, and I'll ask my grandson to come over and take a look, okay?"
Ji Xiuran nodded: "I'll wait in the car for 20 minutes at most."
The old man smiled and nodded: "Dele, I will call my grandson now."
Ji Xiuran got in the car, and the old man took out his mobile phone and dialed his grandson's number. Before the call was dialed, a car swerved and stopped on the side of the road.
Xiao Yi got out of the car. When the old man saw him, he shouted loudly: "Xiao Yi, come here, come here..."
Xiao Yi turned to look at his grandfather, and then said to Zhao Ningchu and Lu Ze behind him: "Brother Ze, sister Ningchu, are here!"
The four of them got out of the car, and the old man ran over happily. When he saw Zhao Ningchu, he was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Yi, who is your friend?"
"Grandpa, I've brought you some business. This young lady wants to rent our shop, so I'll bring her to have a look."
Zhao Ningchu smiled and greeted the old man: "Hello, grandpa."
The old man glanced at her and asked doubtfully: "Rent a shop?"
Xiao Yi nodded: "Yes."
"I'm late. My boss already paid a deposit of 300,000 yuan."
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, he frowned slightly: "Sold?"
"I'm ready to sign the contract."
When Zhao Ningchu heard that the contract hadn't been signed yet, there was still trouble.
On the way here, she observed the surrounding environment. This was indeed a very good place.
"Grandpa, why don't you rent it to me."
"Although I haven't signed the contract yet, I've already paid the deposit. No, the boss hasn't left yet. He's waiting in the car in front."
Zhao Ningchu followed her gaze and suddenly the car door opened. Ji Xiuran walked out of the car and looked up at them.
The four of them looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.
Zhao Ningchu and Ji Xiuran's eyes met and they didn't look away for a long time.
