Chapter 237 Exploiting the Gattuso Family!
Su Xiaoqiang was wearing a thin lace nightgown, and her face was flushed.
Her sleeping boyfriend held her tightly, but she showed no signs of happiness.
Because people relax their bodies when they are asleep, and Gu Ran's muscles were already strong and thick, when he fell asleep, they were so tight that she could hardly breathe.
But for Gu Ran, this position seemed quite comfortable. She brought her face closer to Su Xiaoqiang, and the warm breath she exhaled from her nose hit Su Xiaoqiang's fair neck, making her feel itchy.
"You big dummy, I'm not going to run away, why do you have to hold me so tightly?" Su Xiaoqiang was both amused and exasperated, but seeing him sleeping peacefully, she couldn't bear to wake him.
So I had to adjust my position to make myself more comfortable.
But during the adjustment process, as she moved around, she became afraid to move anymore.
"You stinky man..." Su Xiaoqiang pinched his cheek shyly, but ultimately didn't wake him, letting him hold her as they slept.
But that night, her sleep quality was extremely poor!
Final exams are tomorrow, what should I do?
*……*……*
The next morning, when Gu Ran woke up, he was all alone.
He slept very well last night, as if he was holding something soft and fragrant in his arms, which felt very comfortable.
But what was he holding?
I can't quite remember.
He closed his eyes slightly and sensed Su Xiaoqiang's location; that place should be the school.
She has to take her final exams these two days.
After the exam, they went back to Binhai City together.
Gu Ran glanced at her phone and realized it was already 10 a.m.
I slept for more than ten hours.
"So I didn't grow again last night..." He stretched, but didn't feel sorry about it.
It's the same no matter how much I grow tonight.
People don't run away.
Moreover, a good rest will allow me to better learn skills and techniques tonight.
The process of learning English requires attention to methods and approaches. First, it's like Guan Yu entering Cao Cao's camp – going straight to the point!
Then, of course, comes Zhao Zilong rescuing A Dou—seven times in and seven times out!
Finally, it's about not pooping for 100 days—keep it up!
Gu Ran imagined the time she would be learning English tonight, then got up, dressed, and prepared for today's daily training.
Daily exercise is essential.
"Damn, did I sleep that wildly last night?" Gu Ran usually wears pajamas to bed, but if he doesn't have pajamas, he wears his jersey.
This is the first time I've ever slept without clothes on.
But I slept really well last night.
"I'll try sleeping without clothes tonight and see." Gu Ran took out a black sports short-sleeved suit from her suitcase, put it on, and prepared to go have breakfast.
Only then did he notice a note on the bedside table.
"Stinky man: "
Little Light Bulb and I went to take exams. We had subjects in the morning and afternoon, and we won't get home until evening. I bought you two baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) for breakfast. If they get cold, I'll steam them in a pot.
Also, I was very unhappy last night... As for why I was unhappy, you can figure it out yourself. If you can't figure it out, you're not allowed to touch me!
idiot!
The angry older sister left a note.
“Uh…” Gu Ran looked at the note, completely bewildered.
She got angry because I didn't spend time with her last night?
Isn't it?
Is there really such an urgent need for growth?
Are you in such a hurry to become an adult?
Gu Ran felt that something must have happened last night.
But I fell asleep. How can we learn English together while I'm asleep?
I'm not that amazing!
Gu Ran looked at the bed sheet; there were no bloodstains on it. She also smelled it; there was no strange smell.
He racked his brains, but couldn't figure out how to get rid of the horse...
Thinking about things you can't understand is pointless.
In short, my girlfriend is a little upset right now, so I need to comfort her.
There's nothing I can do; I chose this girlfriend myself, so I have to comfort her, even if it means crying.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Ran first went to meet her aunt, Zhang Wanjun.
The two met at a quiet coffee shop next to the residential area.
"How's it going with the trip back to the Zhang family ancestral land?" Gu Ran asked Zhang Wanjun after taking a sip of milk tea. "Didn't you tell me to go back and seal it?"
This cafe has private booths, and it's a weekday morning, so there aren't many people. Even if someone overhears these conversations, it's not a problem. Who would believe that dragons exist in this world?
To ordinary people, the skill of slaying dragons is a useless skill.
Zhang Wanjun was wearing a black gothic mini-skirt today. She crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair: "The dragons in the ancestral land have not yet shown any signs of awakening."
"Is there a dragon's cocoon sealed inside? Can't we just kill it while it's asleep?"
“It’s not a cocoon… As for why we didn’t kill them, the situation is a bit special.” Zhang Wanjun took a sip of coffee. “I can’t go into details, you’ll find out when you get back.”
"Oh..." Since that's the case, Gu Ran didn't bother to ask any more questions.
Zhang Wanjun then took out a stack of documents from her handbag and handed them to Gu Ran.
Gu Ran took it and glanced at it; it was the land deed for the Beijing Wedding Building.
“I don’t understand, what’s the point of spending 80 million US dollars to buy this building?” Zhang Wanjun asked.
The wedding building covers an area of nearly 70,000 square meters, is an eleven-story building, and also has an underground parking lot.
Land in Beijing is incredibly valuable, and this building is located in Xidan, a traditional commercial district, where land prices are even more astonishing.
But to be honest, spending $80 million to buy this building is a bit of a premium. With that much liquid capital, there are many other businesses that could be done.
Moreover, Gu Ran had to use his mother Zhang Qiong's secret savings to buy this building, which gave him enough funds to purchase it.
Zhang Wanjun really couldn't guess Gu Ran's intentions.
"I just wanted to make some quick money."
"Quick money?" Zhang Wanjun was slightly taken aback. "You have inside information that that piece of land is going to be demolished? That's impossible!"
Who would demolish a well-established traditional commercial district for no reason?
Gu Ran smiled without saying a word and handed all the documents back to Zhang Wanjun: "Can you trust the person who is holding them on your behalf? Also, they must be an ordinary person, with absolutely no blood relation."
Zhang Wanjun replied, "He is trustworthy. He is an outsider of our Zhang family. I personally verified his loyalty, and there is no problem with that."
This was also something she was very curious about.
Gu Ran wanted to find someone to hold the property on her behalf, as she did not want to become the owner of the wedding building herself.
Furthermore, the holder cannot be a hybrid.
why?
After buying the building, Gu Ran had no intention of using it for business.
In short, everything remained the same. He didn't even look at his income during this period, letting Zhang Wanjun keep it, saying it was for errand fees for buying a house.
What is he really up to?
"Can you satisfy my curiosity?" Zhang Wanjun asked.
"Don't ask, you'll find out the reason later," Gu Ran continued. "Also, prepare the transfer documents. As long as someone is willing to pay two hundred million US dollars, we'll sell it directly to them."
"Ok?"
"By the way, I need two hundred million US dollars after tax, no bargaining," Gu Ran said with a smile. "Could you help me find an accountant to calculate how many US dollars I need before tax?"
He thought to himself, "The Gattuso family is incredibly wealthy; they probably won't care about a few hundred million dollars..."
In short, he's definitely going to take advantage of Gattuso's family this time!
Zhang Wanjun was truly dumbfounded. Two hundred million US dollars?
After paying taxes?
Who would buy that? Are you an idiot?
Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this!
Gu Ran smiled and didn't explain much.
The former site of the Xidan Wedding Building is now Wanggongchang.
At 9:00 AM on May 30, 1626, a massive explosion occurred at Wanggongchang, shocking the capital.
This is one of the three most mysterious explosions in history, covering an area of more than two square kilometers and killing 20,000 people.
The emperor at the time was Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Dynasty's Emperor Xizong, who was fond of carpentry. He believed that the explosion was because he had neglected his duties by not attending court and was thus angered by Heaven, which then sent down punishment.
So he issued an edict of self-reproach, apologizing to his ministers and the people, and to Heaven.
I was wrong to spend all my time in the palace doing carpentry and neglecting state affairs.
In fact, this matter had absolutely nothing to do with Zhu Youxiao.
