This kind of thing happened at Qu Ran's house. She originally planned to take two days off from school to spend time with her mother at home. Shu Fuhu but Qu's mother didn't want to delay her daughter's homework no matter what, so she forced her to go back to school with Xia Shao before bed check in the school dormitory.
When I got off the bus, the school entrance was already very quiet, with no traffic. Xu Tianyin parked the car in the parking space closest to the school entrance. Xia Shao took her things and turned around to tell Qu Ran to get out of the car. She was silent all the way, but fortunately when Xia Shao called her to get out of the car, she nodded and reached for the car door.
However, just when Xia Shao and Qu Ran were about to open the car door, a Ferrari roared over from the end of the street behind! The car almost slid past Xu Tianyin's door, making a big drift and stopped at the gate of the school.
Xu Tianyin's breath went cold, and he put Xia Shao on the car door and took her back to see if she was okay. Xia Shao was naturally fine. She just put her hand on the car door and hadn't opened the door yet, so the other party's car just brushed against the body of the car and didn't shock her hand. Of course, if she opened the car door wider at that moment, it would be difficult to say.
Xu Tianyin's breath was cold and sharp, and when he was about to get out of the car, Xia Shao held his hand and shook his head.
She looked ahead and saw the Ferrari parked sideways at the school gate. The car was open and the stereo was turned up to deafening levels. The two men and two women above were cheering like they were on drugs, making provocative gestures and blowing whistles at Xu Tianyin's car. whistle.
Xia Shao's eyes were slightly cold, this situation was so familiar!
Not only was the situation familiar, but Xia Shao, the person in the car, was also impressed. This person was taught a lesson by her on the mountain when she was working as a bodyguard for Li Qingyu. It is said that his father is Lin Biehan, a triad leader, and his mother's surname is Li, so she is slightly distantly related to the Li family.
forest canopy.
Lin Guan was sitting in the driver's seat with the famous woman in his arms. The woman was wearing a Shengye girl's school uniform and followed Lin Guan in provocation. In the process, she was cheek to cheek with Lin Guan, letting his hands roam restlessly on her body and even under her skirt.
And I also knew this person Xia Shao. She was tall, with long hair tied up in a fancy way, her chin was a bit pointed, and she looked at her with a carefree attitude. It was Xia Shao's roommate, Liu Siling.
Xia Shao sat motionless in the car. When Qu Ran was kidnapped by Zhan Ruonan to the ghost elementary school, Liu Siling was waiting for her at the school gate. At that time, Xu Tianyin's car was parked under the tree. It was already dark when she got out of the car, and Liu Siling might not have seen it. Otherwise, tonight's provocation would be directed at her.
Logically speaking, Liu Siling shouldn't have such courage. Ever since Xia Shao taught Zhan Ruonan a lesson, no one in the entire Shengye Girls School should have the courage. However, for some people, some things are really hard to say.
Lin Guan's father is a triad gang leader. According to the status of the triad gang, there are eight inner gangs and eight outer gangs. Except for the leader, the subordinates are the gang leader and are in charge of gang affairs. Below are the four halls: Guan Tang, Guan Tang, Auditorium, and Penal Hall, which are respectively responsible for personnel, gang member training, etiquette, criminal law and other matters. Under the four halls are the guardians on the left and right.
To put it bluntly, Lin Guan's father, Lin Biehan, was the immediate boss of Zhan Ruonan's eldest brother Zhan Ruohao in his position in the gang.
Therefore, it is really difficult to say whether Liu Siling would be superior to others when she climbed into the forest canopy.
Qu Ran was in a bad mood, and Xia Shao didn't want to cause trouble at the school gate, so he didn't bother to talk to her. There was no response from her side, and the other party got bored after provoking it for a while. Fortunately, Lin Guan and others did not get out of the car to provoke. After Liu Siling got out of the car, she said to the car in a flattering manner: "Brother Lin, I will wait for you next week."
"Okay, little*. I'll pick you up next week!" Lin Guan scolded with a smile, his eyes lingering on Liu Siling's figure.
Liu Siling showed a charming smile, twisted her waist and entered the school gate. Lin Guan and others made a contemptuous gesture towards Xu Tianyin's car, shouted a few times, then waved their hands, and the car roared away.
"Brother, these villains, please ignore them and don't be angry." Xia Shao smiled and comforted Xu Tianyin in turn.
Xu Tianyin looked down at Xia Shao's hand, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. Just because of those people, even if they hit me just now when I opened the door, I could avoid it. The worst thing is that senior brother's car is unlucky." That's what he said, but if Xu Tianyin's car was really hit After a collision, Xia Shao was the first one not to spare those people. Isn't there nothing going on right now
Xia Shao hurried back to school, then opened the car door and got out of the car, letting Xu Tianyin go back to rest early, and then entered the school gate with Qu Ran.
The two walked in, and after they disappeared, the black business Mercedes slowly started, but it did not go back, but drove forward, towards the direction where the Ferrari left.
When Xia Shao and Qu Ran walked to the tree-lined path in front of the dormitory building, Qu Ran suddenly sat down on a bench beside the tree-lined path. She bent her legs and buried her face in her knees.
When Xia Shao saw it, she turned around and looked at the bell tower. Seeing that there was still some time, she left her here to be quiet for a while. Although what happened tonight was just between neighbors, it must have been a huge blow to Qu Ran, who had always regarded these grandparents, uncles and aunts as relatives. Xia Shao knew that it was time for her to be quiet for a while, but she was afraid that she would get into trouble. Because if you encounter this kind of thing, if you can't think about it, it will easily affect some values in your heart.
Xia Shao has experienced two lives, and in this life she has seen too much of the impermanence of life. Many things are naturally like passing clouds in her eyes, and she is very open-minded. But Qu Ran is different. She is really only eighteen years old. Although she can be considered an adult, she is still a student on campus and has not experienced too many complexities in society.
Xia Shao sat next to Qu Ran and was silent for a while before deciding to persuade her.
But before Xia Shao spoke, Qu Ran moved on the bench, his face still buried in his knees, but he made a sound.
But as soon as she spoke, Xia Shao was stunned.
"Xiao Shao, I did something stupid today, what should I do..."
Qu Ran's voice was muffled, but Xia Shao was stunned. Just listen to Qu Ran continue: "I threw the contract downstairs when I was angry... What if those people tore up the contract or refused to give us a home, would we be considered breaking the contract? If we break the contract, not only will the current house be gone, , there is still a lot of money to be compensated.”
Xia Shao didn't expect that Qu Ran was thinking about this matter. She thought she was sad about the neighbor's insults along the way. After being stunned for a moment, Xia Shao laughed and said, "So you are struggling with this matter?"
"Yeah." Qu Ran nodded, "I was too impulsive. At that time, all I could think about was how could they do this to me and my mother. We couldn't give them money, and the real estate company's contract was not ours to decide. I was so angry. , I threw away the contract..."
Xia Shao looked at Qu Ran, she still didn't expect that she would think of this so quickly. Generally, people who encounter this kind of thing will first complain, be confused, get into trouble, feel that the whole world is being deceived, and then feel that all people are hypocritical and terrible. She didn't expect that Qu Ran would come out so soon.
Qu Ran wiped his face and raised his head, "You don't have to worry about me, really. This kind of thing is nothing to me. It's sad to be sad, but the saddest time was when my father passed away. I experienced this when... At that time... My mother and I were kicked out of our home without receiving a penny of the judgment compensation. Those people were my grandmother, uncle, and cousin. I I was only thirteen years old at that time, and I already knew the warmth and warmth of human relationships. My mother bought this house with years of savings and money borrowed from friends. My mother has been in poor health over the years, and she has always been worried about it. I worked part-time jobs here and there, and the money I earned really didn’t have anything left except to pay my tuition and pay back my friends’ money. In fact, our family’s daily life has always been very tight, but even so, my mother would still save money. Get me new kitchen utensils.”
Qu Ran spoke with a thick nasal accent. Her voice was not loud, but her words were blown away by the wind on this quiet tree-lined avenue, striking a chord in people's hearts.
"My mother has never forgotten her bold words about becoming an all-round chef when I was learning to cook from my father. She remembered it for me, and I have never forgotten it. So, over the years, I know that she has secretly left The money for food, and I also know that sometimes her medicines for conditioning her body are taken over and over again, and she is not willing to throw them away until they have no taste... I know all these, but I pretend not to know, as long as my mother buys new kitchen utensils When I come back, I pretend to be happy. When I am happy, she will be happy."
"Besides studying, I spent all my time honing my cooking skills. Many times, when my mother and I tasted the new dishes we made, we would give some to the neighbors. Those grandparents, uncles My aunts are really nice to people. They praised my cooking for being delicious, and praised my mother for giving birth to a good daughter. They also took good care of my mother when I was away. Isn’t there a saying? Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. I think it’s really It’s like this. I even felt a sense of joy and harmony from them that I have never experienced between relatives. I really didn’t expect that it would be like this tonight.”
"Maybe it's because the relationship between us in the past did not involve interests. Once something is related to interests, everything will be different. My grandma and uncle were like this before." Qu Ran raised his head, He sniffed and smiled.
"But you don't have to worry about me. I'm really fine. I have figured it out. The neighbors are nice to me and my mother, but we are also nice to them. In the end, no one owes anyone anything. The blow between relatives I've survived it all, there's no reason to let someone who's not my relative or friend hit me. After tomorrow, I'll still be a honest and energetic fat girl!" Qu Ran has never liked the nickname fat girl, but when he said it himself today, it made me happy. He wrinkled his nose and smiled.
She turned to look at Xia Shao, who had been listening to her grievances quietly, and asked, "Do you think I'm too naive? But, I think it's better to be more naive and pure. My dad said that a good chef cooks Emotions can be tasted in the dishes. I think if I am full of grievances, injustices and resentments, the dishes I cook will not be delicious. I would rather be more natural, so as to bring pleasure to people who like my dishes. ."
After hearing this, Xia Shao couldn't help but take a good look at Qu Ran. It was tonight that she really got to know this classmate and roommate whom she had known for a short time. She could happily talk about delicious food in the dormitory, or she could be too scared to speak in front of the Thorny Gang, but she could introduce Zhan Ruonan to her mother as her friend because she helped beat up the gangsters who harassed the community.
She is indeed a very innocent girl. If you are kind to her, she will remember it.
But at this moment, in her eyes, what can be seen is not only innocence, but also positive and optimistic tenacity and strength.
Xia Shao smiled and nodded, "If your father is still alive, he must be a great chef."
Although he is gone, his words still influence his daughter, teaching her to be strong and face it. He is indeed a great father.
When Qu Ran heard Xia Shao praise her father, she immediately laughed proudly, "Of course! If it hadn't been like this, my mother wouldn't have fallen in love with him back then, and I wouldn't have admired him for so many years." She smiled and stretched out her arms. Stretching his legs, he stood up from the bench, took a few deep breaths, and said with a smile, "Okay, I feel better now that I have said it. I have been holding these words in my heart for many years. Xiaoshao, thank you for today."
Xia Shao also stood up with a smile, "Why are you thanking me? You figured it all out yourself."
"But, I still haven't figured it out... How did you know something happened at my house tonight?" Qu Ran turned to look at Xia Shao, eyes full of doubts.
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Have you forgotten that I understand Feng Shui? I'll calculate with my fingers that you will be in trouble today."
Qu Ran naturally heard the joke in these words and said with a smile: "Okay, then let me figure it out. When can I become famous in the food world and let my mother live a good life?"
Xia Shao pretended to be counting with her fingers, but of course she wasn't really counting with her fingers. This was the highest level of Xuanmen art, the ability to understand the secrets of heaven. Without Lianxuhedao, without opening the eyes of heaven, there is no way you can calculate a lot of information with your fingers. Xia Shao just made a joking calculation, "Well, I think you will be very famous when you graduate from high school."
Qu Ran was in her graduating class now. Of course she thought Xia Shao was joking and immediately came over to scratch her. The two of them returned to the dormitory laughing and joking. Liu Siling had already taken off her makeup and had just come out of the bathroom. Seeing that Qu Ran was injured on his forehead and knees, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Hey, fat girl! Who beat you? After all, they are all in the same dormitory. If someone bullies you, go to sister! Sister will help you settle it!"
"It's okay." Qu Ran also saw Liu Siling and Lin Guan's disgusting behavior in the car at the school gate. His eyelids immediately drooped, he replied lukewarmly, and asked Xia Shao to take a shower first.
Because Xia Shao reads in the dormitory at night, she always goes to take a shower in the dark after turning off the lights. Anyway, she has good vision at night, and she can see even without shining a flashlight. Therefore, she always lets her roommates wash first and she washes last. Tonight is no exception.
Qu Ran knew Xia Shao's habit, but she couldn't help it, so she had to take the basin and take a bath first.
Liu Siling smiled coolly from behind and said: "Compared with the society, the school is still on a lower level. It is childish to resolve everything by fighting. Look at the rich and powerful people. Are you going to teach people a lesson? Aren’t you just spending money to buy a bunch of bodyguards and thugs?”
Liu Siling never dared to say these words in the dormitory before. She dared to say it now, and naturally she thought that the only son who had climbed into the triad society had a different value.
Xia Shao and Qu Ran were too lazy to pay attention to her. The more they paid attention to her, the more she felt that she had a sense of existence. It was better to let her sing a one-man show.
Liu Siling sang a one-man show for a while, and saw Xia Shao and Qu Ran reading and taking a shower. She couldn't help but turn green and red, but she didn't dare to get angry too much. After all, this is a school dormitory. If she really annoys Xia Shao, no one can rush in from outside the school to save her. In the end, she will still suffer. Therefore, Liu Siling curled her lips and went to bed depressed, without bothering Xia Shao to review her homework.
When she woke up early the next morning, Qu Ran seemed to be back to normal. She listened carefully in class and read her food book after class. Everything was as usual. Xia Shao was relieved.
But Qu Ran was still worried because the contract matter had not been resolved. She threw the contract to the residents of the community. They wouldn't tear up the contract, right
The residents of the community did not break up the contract. Instead, they gathered together early in the morning with the contract and went to the gate of Century Real Estate to protest.
But the people from Century Real Estate didn't treat them well. The security guard stopped them outside and didn't even let them in through the door of the company building. Only a supervisor came out and said only one sentence - "We are Century Real Estate." It’s not like we’re acquiring two communities in one place. I’ve never seen you being so noisy, so hurry up and leave! If we gather in front of the company again, I’ll ask the security guard to call the police!”
When the residents heard this, they became very angry, and many passers-by attracted many passers-by to watch.
Century Real Estate still said one thing - the acquisition plan has been drawn up by the company, and the compensation amount is just that, you can sign it or not!
What? Why do the Qu family get such good treatment
The Qu family is friends with the sister of the general manager of Sanhe Group, are you? If not, don’t dream! Get out of here!
The residents were furious, cursing and refusing to leave. Some even more excited people wanted to rush into the building and go directly to Qu Tao, the chairman of Century Real Estate. When the security guard saw it, he immediately called the police. It was not until the police arrived that the residents of the community slowly dispersed.
After going back, a group of people were so worried that no one went home. They all gathered together to discuss countermeasures. But after many discussions, no one came up with a solution. Unless Sanhe Group or Jiahui Group intervenes in the acquisition of the community, no company in Hong Kong has the strength to compete with Century Properties.
No other company will come to acquire the community. They will either reluctantly sign or file a lawsuit with Century Real Estate. But litigating a lawsuit is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may not be successful.
This is how to do
Just as the residents were complaining, several people came to Yongjia Community at noon.
The leader was a young woman with a mixed-race appearance, followed by three white-collar workers in suits and briefcases, who claimed to be the general manager of Ada Real Estate Company and came to the community to inquire about the acquisition of the community.
Ada Properties
never heard of that!
The residents were at a loss, but after hearing Emily's introduction to the company, the residents of Yongjia Community were even more stunned.
A company from mainland China coming to Hong Kong
Is this... is this possible
Even local real estate companies don’t dare to compete with Century Real Estate. How dare companies from mainland China? The strong dragon does not suppress the local snakes, but competes with Century Real Estate for interests. This company has the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard? Moreover, it is still unknown whether they have the ability to develop Yongjia Community well.
Although the residents had many doubts and distrust about Ada Real Estate, they were all moved when they saw the acquisition conditions proposed by Emily!
The acquisition conditions were not as generous as those offered by Century Real Estate to the Qu family, but they were still pretty good. At least the compensation standard is 50% higher than that of Century Real Estate!
Although residents have doubts about the strength of Ada Real Estate, they see that no real estate company in Hong Kong dares to compete with Century Real Estate for such a price. Should I sign it or not
"Sign! Why don't you sign? This price is not what Century Real Estate has paid for any community in the past ten years. We have spent more than half a year with them, and today they still refuse to change the conditions. If we continue to talk, they are so big Of course, the company can't delay, but we people don't have that much energy. As long as we sign the contract and get the compensation, we should move out. As for whether this mainland real estate company can continue to operate, no matter what So much? Anyway, we just get the money."
"But Xiaoran's family..."
"Why are you mentioning her! The contract their family signed with Century Real Estate, let Century Real Estate dismantle their family. Let's sign it with Ada Real Estate!"
As soon as the residents discussed it, many people made a decision on the spot! Some others thought about it all night, and when the people from Ada Real Estate Company came back the next day, they all signed.
In just two days, residents of Yongjia Community, which had been struggling with Century Real Estate for half a year, signed contracts with Aida Real Estate.
And until after signing the contract, some people looked at the Qu family from time to time. Some people felt that the Qu family was in a dilemma this time. Some people sighed, and some people snorted. Who told their family to ignore everyone's decisions before? What about the agreement we made, eating inside and outside
While waiting for the demolition of the community, there will be something good to watch!
But the residents didn't know that people from Ada Real Estate had already approached Qu Ran's mother and proposed the terms of the contract signed between their family and Century Real Estate, and Ada Real Estate would also give them a copy. If the Qu family is involved in breach of contract compensation, it will be borne by Ada Real Estate.
Qu's mother was naturally surprised and shocked, but this time she did not dare to agree immediately. She called her daughter's cell phone to discuss it with her. Qu Ran was also surprised when he learned about it. During the break, she sat in her seat with a strange expression on her face. She couldn't make up her mind, so she told Xia Shaoyi what had happened and asked, "Why do you think Ada Real Estate offered such good conditions to my family?" ? I always find it strange that they are responsible for paying liquidated damages. Do you think there is something fishy about this?"
"What's the trick?" Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and smiled at Qu Ran, then her eyes fell back to the book, her smile was leisurely and her demeanor was calm, "A contract is a contract, all the conditions and the obligations and rights of both parties are clearly written, and It’s not a verbal agreement, why are you still afraid of defaulting on your debt?”
"But they are not related to my family, so why are they willing to help my family pay liquidated damages?"
Xia Shao still smiled, without raising his eyes, and spoke slowly, "You have to know that after acquiring your community, the liquidated damages and compensation are just an early investment. If the real estate company can't even make back this profit, why? Is this an acquisition case? I’m helping you pay the liquidated damages just so that your family can sign the contract quickly. The contracts of the residents in the community are all in the hands of a real estate company, so they can start construction quickly and make money, right?"
After listening to Xia Shao's explanation, Qu Ran looked at her. Although after listening to her analysis, I felt that this was indeed the case. It must be that their family was hindering Ada Real Estate from making money, so they used money to buy off their family, hoping to get the matter settled quickly so that they could develop Yongjia Community.
But Qu Ran just felt something strange and couldn't tell what it was. He just felt that when Xia Shao said this, he was calm and calm, as if he was very sophisticated.
Qu Ran wrinkled her nose. Did she feel wrong
I always feel that these friends from mainland China know Feng Shui and are good at business. They seem to be very good at doing business...
Qu Ran glanced at Xia Shao strangely, but she kept her head down reading, not paying attention to her probing eyes. And Qu Ran didn't explore for too long. She hurried to call her mother back.
"Hello? Mom, I asked Xiaoshao, and she said, there is no problem, let us sign a contract with Ada Real Estate!"
