"Most developers would buy and develop as a whole. It should be the developers who offer to buy your land, right? In this case, you can't do anything even if they want to lower the price. No one will want to be involved in this mess."
It would be unwise to compete with the developers at this point. Even if the golf course was built, you might be forced to cooperate with them. Otherwise, there would be endless conflicts, so it was not a good decision.
He Bingxi pulled back her hand and clenched it. She lowered her head, looking frustrated. "The original estimated value of the land was six hundred million, but they only intend to pay three hundred million. Even if Gu Corporation is willing to add one hundred million, we will transfer it."
It seemed that they had encountered a financial crisis. Although she knocked off two hundred million, the cost of a golf course was not low, whether it was the cost to build or maintain it. It was hard to say whether she would benefit from it or the opposite.
"Where is it?" Su Qinglan hesitated for a moment and asked.
Seeing that there was a chance, He Bingxi's eyes lit up. She quickly took out her phone and showed Su Qinglan the three lots of land. Only one was close to the development. The reason was that after they bought them, they could not develop the housing and golf course at the same time due to a lack of funds.
The location of the other two lots of land was not ideal. They were kind of in a remote area. No matter what they were used for, it was not suitable.
She was not interested. Even Gu Jinchi would not find any valuable investment projects.
"I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't give you an answer right now. I'll think about it when I get back. But I still suggest you sell the lot that is close to the development. The golf course demanded a substantial investment. If you are going to challenge the developers, the loss outweighs the gain." He Bingxi was disappointed at her reply.
However, as long as there was hope, they might get financial support.
"Then, when can I expect to receive your reply?" He Bingxi asked eagerly.
"Give me three days. I just came back recently. I have a lot of things to deal with in the company." Su Qinglan got up and left. She felt awkward. She was afraid that after three days, what she could tell her was that her company was not interested in the land.
As for the ambassador affair, it was indeed not something that was enough to alarm the head office. The marketing of that brand had always been good. The design was popular and the price was quite affordable. Shen Ji would make it better accepted.
However, Su Qinglan was still confused about one thing. "Has the previous ambassador fought for the contract?"
"Yes, but he has been involved in many scandals recently. After discussion, we can only find someone else." But Su Qinglan wondered that given the style of the brand, was it somewhat incompatible with Shen Ji?
In her impression, Shen Ji was quite bookish-looking. He seemed too young to endorse the youthful yet mature style of the brand.
The assistant seemed like he had seen through her concerns and said, "If you have any concerns, Shen Ji and another model will come for an audition once more tomorrow. We can change people before signing the contract."
It would be troublesome if they signed an inappropriate ambassador.
"Alright, I'll go take a look." Su Qinglan felt exhausted and smiled bitterly. There was a mountain of things to deal with. Why would she ask for trouble?
She thought to herself that at least she could help to avoid possible trouble for the company.
Su Qinglan picked up Gu Yize as she had promised in the afternoon. She didn't see He Bingxi this time. Even her son was picked up by the driver. It seemed that she just took her chances and see if she could meet her last time.
In the car, Su Qinglan was thinking about something when Gu Yize suddenly crept over and whispered in her ear, "Mommy, are you leaving Daddy?"
Su Qinglan was stunned. What was in his mind?
"What are you thinking? How can I leave your daddy?" Su Qinglan was confused. Did something happen in the kindergarten today?
Gu Yize pursed his lips. He looked serious like an adult and even a little heartbroken as if Su Qinglan were indeed leaving Gu Jinchi and him.
"You're lying. How could there be someone else's name in your notebook?" Gu Yize took out the notebook hidden behind him and pointed at Shen Ji's name on it, looking as if he had already found the evidence.
Su Qinglan could not help but laugh. She asked, "Do you know what is written on it? When did you learn to read?"
"I don't." Even so, Gu Yize still had a serious expression. "This is not written by a girl. It looks like the autograph of an emerging star. He is a man! Mommy, how can you like him!"
"Have you seen Shen Ji's autograph?" Su Qinglan thought about it carefully. TV shows sometimes would give a close-up shot of a star's autograph. "You misunderstood. This autograph..."
How should she explain to him that she asked for Shen Ji's autograph to prevent him from being embarrassed?
Gu Yize frowned and stared at her. He once again hid the notebook behind his back. "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. Don't even think about destroying the evidence!"
"Where did you learn this from? What shows have you been watching recently?" Su Qinglan sighed. She had no choice but to tell him the truth. He was the kind that unless he knew the truth, he would not give up so easily.
"Here's what happened. Last year, I helped him at the talent show venue. The autograph of a star is very valuable now, so he gave me an autograph to thank me."
However, Gu Yize still doubted it, "You don't need it. If you don't have money, I do. You don't need this kind of thing to exchange for money. I will write my name on Mommy's notebook."
He lowered his head and muttered, "Even if you no longer love Daddy, there's still me. You can't fall in love with other men."
"Little Ze, if you continue to watch those jumbled TV shows, I will ban you from watching TV." Su Qinglan reached out and pointed at his little head that was letting his imagination run wild.
"Hmph." Gu Yize turned his head and pulled out a new notebook from his school bag. "You will use this. Otherwise, Daddy will be angry if he knows that there is another man's name on your notebook."
"But there is something very important to me in this book. Don't you see I have written many things on it?" Su Qinglan said patiently as she took the notebook from Gu Yize.
Of course, Gu Yize could not understand the words, but he persisted in asking, "Is it really important to you?"
"Yes, I have written my work schedule on it." It would be troublesome if her phone ran out of battery. Therefore, She would still use paper and pen to record things.
"Then... alright," Gu Yize said as he carefully tore off the page where the autograph was signed. He folded it up and put it in his school bag. "OK. I won't tell Daddy that a man had signed for you.
"This notebook will be yours. Your notebook is almost filled with words. You can use the notebook I give to you."
Su Qinglan did not know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the torn page. She then looked at the colorful notebook in her hand. "Where did you get it?"
"I got it from the kindergarten competition today. I am the first place and have a lot of points." Gu Yize seemed to be extremely proud as he puffed out his chest, "The teacher says that points equal money in kindergarten.
"The points can change to small cakes, notebooks, erasers, paintbrushes... various things. If you need it, I will buy it for you." He was still a kid, but he already knew to pay for the girl like a man.
Su Qinglan was quite pleased with this. She could not help but rub his furry little head. "Okay, I will let you buy notebooks and pens for me."
"That's right. Tomorrow is the weekend. Do you have any plans? I can go with you wherever you go. I can also hold the bag for you like my Daddy." It was clear that it was he who wanted to go out and play, but he didn't want to admit it.
Su Qinglan pretended to think for a while and then shook her head with a difficult expression. "I don't know where to go. Why don't you give me some advice, Little Ze?"
This way of speaking made Gu Yize pleased. It perfectly protected his pride, and he could use this opportunity to tell her where he wanted to go.
"Then... You can go to the movies? Or to the zoo?" It was not suitable for Gu Yize to watch a movie, but the zoo was a good place to go. However, she had to go to the company tomorrow. There was not enough time.
"Then the zoo will be fine. But I still have work to do tomorrow, so we can only go the day after tomorrow."
"It's work again. I really hope that Daddy will get better soon and let him do this. Then I will take you to play." Gu Yize continued to chatter incessantly. Su Qinglan could only helplessly smile and listen to him patiently.
Fortunately, she hadn't aborted this child. Otherwise, she would have been extremely lonely now.
"How about this, I will reluctantly go to the company for Daddy. It is really boring if only Aunty Wang and I are at home." Gu Yize gently tugged at her sleeve, looking like a spoiled child.
Gu Yize was not like those naughty children. In the company, he was just a small president with his hands in his pockets and acted like a miniature version of Gu Jinchi, staying in the office quietly. She had nothing to worry about.
The company was not an interesting place for Gu Yize. It was just that... he wanted to be by her side.
His thoughts could not be hidden from his mother.
Su Qinglan agreed and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Little President Gu to work for another day."
