Chapter 172: I Miss You

assmates from the same year; even university classmates might not be willing to help you out.Shu Tinglan actually regretted saying that afterwards, after all, the two of them had another layer of rela...Wen Jian's economic situation could actually afford to rent or even buy another apartment in the same complex, but it's unnecessary now. The photos have been taken and sent, Zhuo Jia knows about Shu Tinglan's existence. The conflict will inevitably erupt sooner or later, and this is just the first step. 。Zhuo YUAN was not a sentimental person. Wen Jian originally thought that kicking her out of the apartment complex and away from his life was enough, but after two days, she received a lawyer's letter from him, accusing her of violating privacy. Truly cruel and heartless. 。

Wen Jian's heart wasn't without pain. If you count carefully, the time she spent with him far exceeded the time he spent with Shu Tinglan. Back in their days abroad, from studying to starting a business, for so many years, they were almost inseparable. She thought that even if they didn't become lovers, they would be lifelong best friends. Who knew he would be so ruthless, repeatedly pushing her into darkness for Shu Tinglan. 。Since he wasn't benevolent, he couldn't blame her for being unrighteous. Their affair with Shu Tinglan was far from over. 。Zuo Yu'an had feelings for Wen Jian, but what she did had long crossed his line. Starting with implanting a hypnosis system in Shu Tinglan's home, she had personally destroyed the career he had painstakingly built and their friendship as well. 。This time, he again crossed his bottom line, wanting to destroy the person he valued most. He would no longer hold any sentimentality for the past. 。He's a person like that, within the bounds of his principles and bottom line, you can do whatever you want. But once you cross that line, he's crueler than anyone else. 。It's not just like that with Wen Jian, but also with his own parents. He draws a clear line, and you can do whatever you want if you don't cross it, but once you cross it, there's no room for sentimentality. 。His principles and bottom lines, in this lifetime, probably only Shu Tinglan could casually break. She broke them, and he not only didn't dare to get angry, but also had to coax her. 。At that moment, he was filled with anxiety and worry. He had driven for two hours from Senzhou to see her, but she was busy and didn't pay him any attention. 。I don't have time to meet you today, it's not Wednesday. 。She is quite principled. She said she would meet on Wednesday and wouldn't meet any earlier. 。She is also really busy. She works at Imperial Real Estate, mainly handling all the related documents for the Health & Wellness City project. This includes various contracts, permits, and official approvals. Every single one needs to be carefully reviewed and handled with precision; there's no room for mistakes. 。

The total responsible person for this wellness city development project is Ma, a shareholder of Yuzhong Real Estate. 。Every time I see Shu Tinglan and Lawyer Shi, they look heartbroken.

"This project, we planned for five years, it's like our own child. If it weren't for the group's broken capital chain, we wouldn't be willing to transfer it." 。This high-end retirement product has a bright future. 。Shu Tinglan always just politely responded and didn't say much. He was a little confused about what Ma said, though. 。Generally speaking, a target company that is being acquired would not readily disclose its financial difficulties before transferring projects. Doing so would be akin to exposing its weaknesses to the acquiring party. If the acquirer knows you are short of funds and desperate for money, you will be in a weak position during negotiations, and they will certainly drive down the price. 。But this Mr. Ma doesn't seem to mind being in a passive position. 。Mr. Shi and Shu Tinglan shared the same suspicion. He guessed, "It's probably that Yuzhong Real Estate's funding chain has broken. Everyone in the industry knows this; there's no need to hide it." 。Besides, he said this just to let us look it up casually and not be so strict. 。Shu Tinglan felt that Ma Zong meant just that, thinking they were being too thorough and strict. By saying this, he was essentially asking them to turn a blind eye. 。。Mr. Shu, relax a little bit, don't be so tense. I see you guys working until the late hours every day before returning to the hotel. It must be tiring. With so many files, it's impossible to finish reading them all. 。"Shū Tīnglán merely smiled and politely responded: “Thank you, Mr. Mǎ, for your concern. This is our job responsibility, it’s not hard.” 。"Regardless of how the target company wants to gloss over things, or even if the acquirer's clients explicitly tell her it's just a formality, she will stick to her professional principles because she has to be accountable for her signature." 。She not only carefully reviewed every contract and approval document, but also went to relevant government agencies such as the Land Administration Bureau, Planning Bureau, and Municipal Development and Reform Commission to verify the project's authenticity item by item. 。These institutions certainly won't help you look into things casually, even if she brings a commission proof from Yuzhong Real Estate. At best, the staff will be somewhat kind and reluctantly help you check. At worst, they'll always find some excuse to brush you off, making you run back and forth for nothing. It's completely normal to have to do this two or even three times. 。Often, when they are dismissed by staff in just a few words, they feel deeply frustrated. 。When she saw the WeChat message from Zhu Yuyan, it was right after she had been refused permission to verify land ownership at the Land Administration Bureau and was on her way back. 。This time she was turned away because the management center is under renovation and only one window is open for business. Seeing that she was here to inquire about the Healthy City project, they asked her to come back another time, saying they were too busy today to help. 。Things haven't been going well, and seeing Zhu Yuyan's message made me feel a little resentful towards him. I spoke harshly and told him that I wouldn't be free to meet him until Wednesday at the earliest. 。

"Good " 。"He replied immediately after I sent the message, his attitude was surprisingly cooperative, he didn't say a single extra word." 。If it were as usual, he would certainly have something to say. 。He went silent, and Shu Tinglan felt a little out of place. She sent another message quietly, her tone becoming more docile. "It's Tuesday today, why did you come early" "Missed you" 。A very direct and unapologetic response. 。The simpler the words, the heavier they hit Shu Tinglan's heart. She couldn't wait to go back to the hotel to see him. Though, it had only been two days. 。"Go ahead and work. I'll be waiting for you at the hotel." 。He added another sentence. 。

"Good" 。She returned from the Land Administration Bureau to Yuzhong Real Estate. Today, everyone's progress was unexpectedly good, and they were able to finish work on time. The group walked back to the hotel happily. 。"Ms. Shu, why are you leaving so quickly today" Mr. Shi called out to her. 。Usually, she is the last one to leave and the most patient person. Today, her feet seemed light as air, and in a moment she overtook them all and walked in the front, looking eager and impatient. 。

"Lawyer Shu, let's go to the snack street next to the hotel for barbecue. Come with us!" 。Zhang Jing and Zhao Miaogē also shouted at her. 。Shutinglan then slowed her pace and turned back to look at them: "No, you guys go ahead. I'm not feeling well, so I'll head back to the hotel first." 。"

Shall I accompany you back" Misan asked with concern. " 。Never mind, have fun. 。"Okay, I'll bring you some delicious food back. " 。Seeing her rush back to the hotel, everyone didn't insist. They went to eat barbecue all the way, laughing and having fun. 。

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!ve me a call."What's the phone for" Tinglan asked.She felt guilty and wanted to take extra care of Wen Jian, but it seemed that Wen Jian didn't appreciate it.Wen Jian denied again: "I didn't hit."List...
