Chapter 165: Thyme
[Hope: The land.] 】
Sometimes I just know the facts, but I don't have the courage to face them. So I'd rather pretend not to know the facts.
Duan Yiqiao didn't say anything comforting, just patted her back gently, meditating on her own understanding thoroughly.
The weather is starting to get hot, and the business of the tea shop is getting better. For this reason, after Duan Yiqiao finished his class and reviewed, he would still come to the store to help.
On Wednesday afternoon, when there was no class, he went to the Isile coffee shop to help. After more than half an hour, around one o'clock, Ye Enna appeared in the store.
Today she is alone, dressed very refreshingly, a suspender shirt and a short denim skirt, stepping on a pair of high heels, tall and sexy.
Hu Bin and Duan Chuntong were there, and Duan Yiqiao sat down to chat with her when he handed her tea.
Having just come in from outside, it was really a little hot, and Ye Enna took a few sips of the iced lemon tea.
"Why did you come to the store all of a sudden?" Duan Yiqiao asked normally.
Ye Enna put down the cup of lemon tea and said, "I often come here, but Ihashi accompanies others and doesn't spend much time in the store."
Duan Yiqiao did not answer.
"In the end, she paid for the shares of the bar."
She was referring to Ai Shangni, Ye Enna already knew, but she only knew Duan Yiqiao, so she didn't dare to make trouble, and she didn't want to be bored.
Duan Yiqiao nodded, "It's not for nothing, it's interest."
Ye Enna disagreed, "Is this trying to tell me that Ihashi and everyone can figure it out? It doesn't matter, you won't let me lend it to you anyway. By the way, listen to my dad, she took you to her brother's wedding with the group. In this way, is Yiqiao a meeting with his future father-in-law?"
"That's a bit early."
Ye Enna looked at him calmly, if he hadn't decided that Ai Shangni, with her understanding of him, he wouldn't have attended this wedding. He had made a lot of things clear, and if he and Ai Shangni still had a vague relationship, he wouldn't have seen her father easily, even if she had been invited as a classmate.
"Yiqiao, in your eyes, what is the biggest difference between me and her?" She asked very casually, as if she were asking casually.
Duan Yiqiao was silent, she smiled instead, still so arrogant, "I don't think I'm inferior to her. But if you can choose her, I am sure that there is a very different thing between us in your eyes."
Ye Enna is arrogant, but she is also very honest, which is quite likable, but she is also very persistent, possessive and strong, so she is easy to be jealous.
Ye Enna waited for a long time before Duan Yiqiao gave her a sentence, "Nana, you are not only Yu Xue'er and Zhou Shami by your side, look at others more, and you will be able to get the answer to this question."
Ye Enna laughed, but she didn't expect him to answer her like this, "Yiqiao can not be so subtle, between you and me, isn't it good to be direct?" Have I always been so unapproachable in your eyes?"
Shen Ruyun, who was in the bread area, had been paying attention to them, and for some reason she had a feeling that they were going to quarrel in the next second, and vaguely heard Ye Enna's words, she hurriedly packed a piece of cake and handed it to Ye Enna.
"Nana, eat a cake!"
Ye Enna adjusted her mood and smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Yun."
Shen Ruyun looked at Duan Yiqiao and signaled him not to quarrel with Ye Enna.
Soon, Ai Shangni appeared in the store, which Duan Yiqiao had already made an appointment with her, and she came on time.
Seeing Ye Enna sitting there, Ai Shangni walked over as usual, without saying hello, but nodded at her with a smile as a greeting.
It was Ye Enna, who looked at her intently, and had no intention of responding to her greetings at all.
She also has a beautiful face, she also has a good figure, she doesn't lose at night, they are all wealthy families, no one is worse than the other, she has the same knowledge, and she was admitted to Jinglidu University by her own ability.
Ye Enna didn't understand why Duan Yiqiao chose her instead of herself.
However, for a while, she couldn't get an answer from Duan Yiqiao. Ai Shangni is here, it's not interesting for her to stay longer, let's be interesting. She consciously greeted Duan Yiqiao
Left.
Seeing her leave, Duan Chuntong came over with a cup of lemon tea to Ai Shangni, "Yiyi, your third brother and Teacher Lin's wedding is very beautiful, so happy."
"It's a pity you didn't go."
"No way, it just happened, but I watched the photos and videos that everyone took. Okay, you talk to my brother, I'll get busy first."
"Okay."
Ai Shangni turned to ask Duan Yiqiao what he was looking for her to do, and he said mysteriously, "I'll take you to a place."
Duan Yiqiao went to fetch his backpack and helmet, and took her to his motorcycle. Ai Shangni didn't ask much and followed him.
She didn't know where he was going to take her or how far, all she knew was that the motorcycle had been speeding up, and although it was a little hot, the wind was also strong, which reduced most of the heat.
She was comfortably enjoying the speed and coolness, and she was almost asleep, and I don't know how long it took for the motorcycle to stop in a wasteland.
Take off your helmet, put everything away, and look again, the surrounding area is not a wasteland, there are many buildings under construction.
"Let's go upstairs."
He led her up to one of the tallest buildings, which was the highest, but in fact it was about two stories higher than the others, and it was basically five or six stories high.
Standing at the top, the floor is not high, and you can't see too far, but you can see the places within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area. The land is very wide, all of them are floors under construction, it seems that the work has been stopped for a long time, and there is still a piece of foundation that is being built.
"Guess where this is?" Duan Yiqiao asked her.
Her first instinct was how she knew, and she didn't know where she had come here just now that she had been lying on his back.
She then looked around and thought of something, "Could this be your unfinished building and shopping mall?"
I saw Duan Yiqiao nodding at her.
She was surprised, "We're in the West Path?"
"Or what do you think?"
"Oh my God, how long has it been?"
Duan Yiqiao raised his hand and looked at the table, "It's been half an hour, and I'm riding faster."
In addition to the buildings under construction in front of her, she could also see buildings under construction a little farther away, and she pointed to the ones in the distance, "That's the government-built schools and parks you said."
"Yes, across a road."
Ai Shangni doesn't understand real estate, but as far as the buildings he sees in front of him, even if one only has one ladder and two bedrooms, there are six buildings, and one building only needs 20 floors, it can be sold for a lot of money. No wonder they always say that these properties and shopping malls with only foundations can allow the Duan family to pay off their debts.
At this time, Duan Yiqiao took out his iPad from his backpack, opened a design drawing, and showed it to Ai Shangni. The picture shows a ship, no, to be exact, a design drawing of a building that resembles a ship.
"This is the blueprint for the mall?"
"Clever. I'm going to take this to the game, okay?" Duan Yiqiao wanted to hear her opinion.
She thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be too much of a loss to take this to the competition, many of your architectural design competitions are creative, you are a shopping mall, even if you have a very distinctive appearance, it can't have too many attractive places on the inside, right?"
She and Tang Hao have similar ideas, and both feel that the architectural design of this shopping mall will not give people too much creativity.
Duan Yiqiao knows that there is no clear topic selection for this competition, and he is free to play, as long as it is in line with environmental protection and practicality, there is not much of a problem, but creativity is the key to winning or winning.
Choosing other buildings to make design drawings has great imagination from the inside to the outside, but many of his shopping malls have regulations, and there is not much room to play.
"It's okay, I know. Tell me about the design of this ship?"
Ai Shangni really likes this look, it is very distinctive, "Yes, quite special. Why would you want to compete with the blueprints of the mall?"
Duan Yiqiao's goal has always been very strong, she always felt that he didn't just want to compete with it, if it was just a competition, he could choose other buildings with more advantages to design.
「
I hope that this will be able to promote the buildings on this site and attract more investors."
Sure enough, she understood his thoughts, "Okay, as long as you think you can help you, do whatever you want, I'm sure you can."
Duan Yiqiao reached out and took her to his side, "Thank you, Yiyi!"
In fact, at the wedding of Tong Tangen and Lin Yingci, the Tong family took Duan Yiqiao to meet many people in the officialdom of Licheng, and Tong Tangen also hoped to help him in the reconstruction of this land in the future.
He found a clean spot, and the two sat down.
"At the beginning, my dad went bankrupt and owed money everywhere, and the land was almost auctioned off, and I don't know how much my grandfather and my dad had to do to keep the land. But at that time, my father's spirit was already very bad, but he still wanted to keep the land.
I remember my dad saying that if you sell it, you should sell it for what it should be. But there are many people who fall into the well, and even Uncle Night has lowered the price to the extreme, and my dad has turned against him because of this.
Coincidentally, the construction of the government's school and park was also suspended, and there were fatalities on the construction site, so everyone was not very optimistic about the land, and dismissed the idea, of course, my family failed to repay the debt, and finally relied on the night family."
Ai Shangni took his hand and comforted, "Yiqiao, now everything is over."
"No, it's not over yet, and your family's eleven billion." After saying that, he smiled.
Seeing that he could smile, Ai Shangni didn't say much.
Ai Shangni looked at the building in front of her with only the outer shell, and her heart was actually a little hairy, she didn't understand real estate, let alone business. Thinking that Duan Yiqiao would build and sell these buildings in the future, she couldn't imagine this. She felt that the world was so far away from her, she didn't think she could learn it, but she was still very confident, because with the help of her third brother, Duan Yiqiao would definitely be able to complete it smoothly.
"I'll take you to my house to see the old bungalow, okay?"
She was interested in this, "Of course, why didn't I think of it, this should be very close to your house."
"It's dripping, let's go."
Ten minutes later, the motorcycle stopped in front of the garden of the old bungalow.
An old man who faltered came out and shouted, "O bridge, are you back?"
The voice was a little far away, it seemed that the garden was quite big, and Ai Shangni only saw Grandma Duan from a distance, and could feel that her pace was speeding up.
"Grandma, it's me!"
Ai Shangni followed Duan Yiqiao and walked down the cobblestone path. While walking, the old western-style houses with Chinese and Western styles are indeed magnificent and have classical charm. Not far away, you can see a glass-roofed gazebo, with green plants climbing all over the top, shining in the sunlight. The vibrant flowers and trees in the garden are not inferior to those of her home, and they are beautifully cut and the overall planning is orderly.
Finally, when he arrived at Grandma Duan, Duan Yiqiao leaned over and hugged her, "Grandma, this is my girlfriend."
"Hello, child, welcome to my house." Grandma Duan smiled warmly and was very affinity.
Her neatly combed hair was all pulled back, her face was clean and thin, and she was dressed in plain clothes that fit elegantly.
"Hello grandma!"
Grandma Duan also took the initiative to hug her.
Although it was the first time they met, Ai Shangni felt that Grandma Duan must have been a goddess with an elegant temperament when she was young.
"Didn't the bridge bring his girlfriend back to see me and your grandfather, he's still working in the library?"
"I know, Grandma. It's okay, we're not in a hurry, we'll go back after dinner when Grandpa comes back."
Grandma Duan's legs and feet didn't seem to be so agile, and Duan Yiqiao kept holding her until she entered the house before letting go of her hand. net
"Come, child, come in and sit." Grandma Duan took Ai Shangni's hand and walked towards the living room.
The structure of the whole villa is very special, quite a modern world style, Western-style design, but it can be seen that the decorations and the like are Chinese, maybe it has been a long time, and there is no so-called collocation or mismatch, but I feel very harmonious.
spacious
The bright house was cleaned and the items were neatly arranged. But there are only Grandpa Duan and Grandma Duan in the family, and everyone else has only come back once in a long time, but they can keep it so clean, which shows that the two old people are people who love cleanliness.
