Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Sky Full of Stars
[Nervous: Meet and talk to her dearest! ] 】
"Mom knows, it's because you are so desperate to break off that half-marriage." Shen Ruyun said distressedly.
Duan Guangping was hospitalized before, Ai Shangni went to visit the hospital, and when she got along with her, Shen Ruyun still didn't know the extent of her son's relationship with her.
But later, through Duan Yiqiao and Duan Chuntong's birthday party, Shen Ruyun felt it. When they went to college, they invited the same four people to their birthday party at home, and Ai Shangni was the only exception.
Later, Duan Chuntong and Shen Ruyun also said some things about the two of them, and then thinking back to their son's unusual behavior, Shen Ruyun also understood.
Duan Yiqiao nodded and hummed, "Yes, I want to be with her officially, and I want to tell everyone that I like her."
Shen Ruyun stretched out her hand to stroke his hair, her eyes seemed to be a little moist, and said, "It's good that the bridge has someone you like!"
After the family changed, Shen Ruyun never saw him fall in love, or who he liked, and he was just in high school. But when she went to college, she was always worried that she didn't have the heart to fall in love because everything at home was a heavy burden on him.
Occasionally, she would joke to the siblings that if there was someone they liked, they would chase them, and if appropriate, they could bring them to their home for a sitting. However, the brother and sister never moved.
Now, he finally has someone he likes, and he likes it very much, and he thinks about it in the future, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of that deal.
However, as a mother, she could do nothing but be happy for him. Thinking of this, Shen Ruyun couldn't help but shed tears.
Duan Yiqiao looked distressed and anxious, "Mom, don't cry."
Tears kept rolling down Shen Ruyun's cheeks with slightly obvious nasolabial folds, and she cried and said, "It's my parents who are sorry for your brother and sister!"
"Mom, don't say that, don't cry yet, the customers are here." Duan Yiqiao took a tissue and wiped her tears.
Shen Ruyun took the tissue, stopped crying, quickly wiped away her tears, and looked at the customers in the store. Fortunately, there was no noise to everyone, and everyone still talked and laughed.
Shen Ruyun put the water cup back on the bar, grabbed Duan Yiqiao's hand with both hands, and said, "Wait for the Chinese New Year, let's go to Yejia to talk about it together, and discuss it with your grandfather again to see if there is any way to solve it."
"Okay. By the way, Mom, how did you think about opening another store?"
Shen Ruyun reached out again and wiped her tears, afraid that there would still be teardrops, so she blew her nose after wiping it.
"I agreed, and I told your father, but he's ....." Shen Ruyun looked a little helpless.
"What did Daddy say?" Duan Yiqiao looked at Shen Ruyun with eager eyes.
Shen Ruyun exhaled lightly and said, "Your father, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, he didn't approve of us opening a new store, saying what if it didn't run it, the money would be wasted."
Duan Yiqiao can understand Duan Guangping, if it were him, he would also talk about the tiger's color change. Once defeated and defeated so completely, it is difficult to climb up again, and anyone will have palpitations.
At the beginning, before opening a coffee shop and bookstore, he also discussed with Duan Guangping, but he just didn't agree. But Grandpa Duan and Shen Ruyun both knew that he was like a frightened bird now, and they would never listen to him, so they opened the store without telling him first. Then he persuaded him with the pros and cons, and then he followed the two children and Shen Ruyun to Dongyu District to run a bookstore.
Duan Yiqiao knew that he was still like this, "Mom, don't wait. I've already started looking at the storefront, and if my mom has time, I'll take a look at it too, and we'll try to open another one in the next year."
"Okay, listen to you."
Shen Ruyun looked at him with satisfaction, if it weren't for this son in the past few years, the family would not be so stable, and the coffee shop and bookstore, as well as the bar, would have made a lot of money.
Seeing that there were not many customers in the store, and the little sister was about to go to work in the store, Duan Yiqiao asked Shen Ruyun to go to the attic to rest first and look at the store by herself.
He didn't know how long he had been watching, and he didn't even pay much attention to the little sister who greeted him after she arrived at the store, so he was half-busy at the bar, thinking about the conversation with Tong Tangen last night.
yesterday
Evening, Tong Tangjun Villa, study!
A closed door shut out all sounds outside the study. Tong Tangen asked Duan Yiqiao to sit down on the guest chair on the right in front of the desk, but Duan Yiqiao did not sit down immediately, and only sat down after Tong Tangen sat down.
The two of them are about the same height, both of them are 1.8 meters, and their hands and feet are long, which makes this guest chair look extremely short.
"How did Ihashi-san have a good time at this party at night?" Tong Tangen asked usually.
"It's good."
At this time, Duan Yiqiao was nervous very rarely.
He doesn't know when, or maybe he has experienced family changes, and he treats people more calmly when he encounters problems. But in front of him is the future successor of the Tong family, and he is Ai Shangni's third brother.
He was really nervous when he met and talked to the family of the person he liked.
"What Shangguan said just now, everyone knows that Yi Yi likes Yi Qiao." Tong Tangen said and smiled slightly.
"Just call me Yiqiao. I like her too."
Tong Tangen paid attention to the expression of Yiqiao in the next paragraph, calm, his eyes were full of perseverance, and his tone was also very affirmative, and he even listened with a hint of joy.
Tong Tangen, who is the elder brother, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when he heard him say that he also liked his sister.
saw Duan Yiqiao continue, "It's just... We haven't officially confirmed our relationship, and we haven't announced that we're a couple."
This point, Ai Shangni has told Tong Tangen, he knows, "But she confessed to you, right?"
"Yes."
Tong Tangen didn't say anything more, but changed the topic to the purpose of looking for him to come in.
"I don't interfere in your feelings. Tonight, I came in to talk about the deal between your family and the night family, and I would like to ask, how much is the loan?"
Duan Yiqiao was stunned, although he knew that talking to him would talk about his family, he still couldn't help but be surprised that he already knew about the transaction. However, thinking of Ai Shangni's relationship with this third brother, it is estimated that she should know everything about him. It doesn't seem necessary to hide it anymore, not to mention that it is Tong Tangen who is facing it.
"Eleven billion."
"Not a lot."
Duan Yiqiao sighed secretly in his heart, sure enough, it was the Tong family of a wealthy family, and that number was either astronomical or huge for others, but his Tong family was only a lot.
"I'll just ask you one thing, have you ever thought about how to pay it back?" Tong Tangen asked.
Duan Yiqiao was silent, eleven one hundred million is a huge amount for the current Duan family, how can he pay it back? Maybe it's just pie in the sky and get rich.
He didn't know how to answer, but Tong Tangen continued, "Don't say that you want to make money for the night family for the rest of your life by opening these current stores, or your future job, or someone fancy your architectural blueprints. It's not me who strikes you, no matter what, it's a long way to repay that loan. Of course, it is not excluded that your business acumen will be developed, and you will be able to repay the money in just a few years by opening more stores to do business. Human potential is limitless, it just depends on whether it is exploited."
Duan Yiqiao knew that Tong Tangen's business acumen was just to comfort himself. The current three stores are doing well, and he is not the only one. And no matter how powerful it is, even if he has ten years and earns 1.1 billion, he can't even think about it.
So, for the deal he would have agreed to in the first place, it was more about the courage of the newborn calf who is not afraid of the tiger.
Tong Tangen looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak. For a long time, he didn't say anything, indicating that he should have thought about it, and he was thinking about whether to tell himself, or how to tell himself.
The evening breeze blew through the curtains, rippling layers of ripples, and also passing through people's sides, the slightest cold, which made people sober up a lot.
Duan Yiqiao slowly raised his head, looked at Tong Tangen, and seemed to look at the legendary president of the Tong Group in front of him again. There are a pair of eyes full of wisdom under the elegant and handsome temperament, as if they can see through people's hearts, but they will not give people a sense of pressure at all. So, you don't feel uncomfortable looking at him directly.
"My house's unfinished building and a shopping mall that has just laid a small part of the foundation."
Sure enough, there is still a plan.
Tong Tangen was glad that he could take this into account at this age, and he was not completely unplanned.
"Actually, I have a question, why didn't the night house ask for unfinished buildings and shopping malls as conditions at that time?"
"At first, my father refused, and he had a fight with Uncle Ye because of this."
"Forgive me for an offensive remark." Tong Tang En paused, "Can your father's physical condition at the time still think about that transaction in its entirety?"
Duan Yiqiao clasped his hands on his knees and shook his head, "No." After speaking, he lowered his head again.
Mentioning those things during that time made Duan Yiqiao's mood very heavy. If it were someone else, he might not say it anymore, but the other party is Tong Tangen, a person with good business skills, maybe he can get some inspiration from the other party.
At this time, Tong Tangen was also waiting for him, if he was willing to speak, he would listen to him, and if he was not willing to speak, he would not ask again.
Tong Tangen's patience and respect made Duan Yiqiao finally speak, "I ..... back then"
After the pre-sale money of the real estate was swept away, Duan Guangping hurriedly began to look for investors, and Yemo was one of them, but he ignored his friendship and made many unreasonable demands, and even started the idea of an old bungalow. Duan Guangping angrily scolded Yemo in a fit of rage, and said that he would resolutely not cooperate with him.
Later, there was an accident at the construction site of the real estate, and people died. To make matters worse, the government has suspended the construction of parks and schools on the border due to funding problems. Originally, it was because of the construction of schools and parks that the real estate sold at such a high price, and if they were not built, it would be far from Duan Guangping's plan. net
Many people bought houses for schools and parks on the border, but now there is no sign of either of them, so everyone is reluctant to buy them.
A series of problems arise, and no one wants to take the hot potato.
