20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3703 Su Ying's Phone Call

Zhao Chang'an didn't intend to disturb too many people when he returned this time. After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Fan Chufei and Qi Xuan'er shared a room, while Ye Yiyi and Wang Yu shared a room.

We agreed to visit Peach Blossom Lake Scenic Area and Wenjia Village tomorrow, which would also be a chance for Ye Yiyi to meet her relatives.

Although Ye Yiyi had subtly mentioned that she preferred having her own space, Zhao Chang'an knew that she wanted to sneak into his room to sleep that night. However, he really couldn't do it tonight, as he had already made arrangements with Liu Cui beforehand, and Liu Cui was also staying at the Shancheng Hotel at the time.

As things stand, the turmoil surrounding the Rose Cultural Tourism project has now resulted in five people being implicated, including Mai Guixue and Lang Ruping's families. Zhao Chang'an is still unclear about the specifics of the negotiations. From the perspective of the vast Yi Nanmi project, Zhao Chang'an doesn't actually need to participate in this cultural tourism project. However, from the standpoint of a native of Chongqing, he feels he should make some contribution to his hometown.

Therefore, he tried to stay outdoors as much as possible and let Wen Ye, Duan Fengqing, and Liu Mingxiong handle the matter through negotiation.

From Shancheng's perspective, it would be very worthwhile for YiNan to take control, both in terms of capital and reputation. Moreover, the Qiangwei Group already holds 60% of the shares in the cultural tourism company. If it weren't for the fact that Liu Mingxiong and Shan Qiang had gone too far, Zhao Chang'an wouldn't have been prepared to overturn the table like this.

OneNano has not yet reached an agreement with Shan Qiang on the acquisition of 55% of the shares of the Rose Group. Before that, they can only freeze their contact with Mai Guixue and Lang Ruping and let the five of them continue to explain their issues inside.

However, the personnel arrangements for Rose Tourism have been significantly adjusted in recent days. Wang Deyuan has been appointed as the general manager of the tourism group, Liu Mingxiong and Su Ying have been appointed as deputy general managers, and a professional accountant has been hired to be in charge of finances, with the original accountant Liu Anqi as her deputy.

Liu Lang was also frightened this time. If the seriousness of his actions of toying with the feelings of female employees in the scenic area and causing them to have an abortion was serious enough to warrant years in prison, he ran away to Huadu to take charge of that luxury boutique.

Of course, Liu Mingxiong was also afraid that Zhao Chang'an might use Liu Lang to threaten him one day, so he sent this troublesome prodigal son away in advance to avoid living in constant fear that this beast would do something terrible and be controlled by Zhao Chang'an.

Liu Cui works as an accountant at Taohuahu, while Liu Mingjie serves as the deputy director of the Taohuahu scenic area.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Cui was able to secretly return to the city and book a room to wait for Zhao Chang'an without her parents' knowledge.

-

By the time Zhao Chang'an and Liu Cui finally calmed down, it was already past midnight.

The lights in the room were not turned off.

Liu Cui lay limply on Zhao Chang'an's body, her pretty face filled with satisfaction.

“Now my mom is in charge of personnel matters, and I can feel her passion. My dad, on the other hand, takes walks by the lake every day, eager for spring to arrive so he can go fishing.”

Liu Cui succinctly described the current state of her family: everyone has their own things to do and hopes for, and everyone is busy with their own lives.

Liu Cui's original house in the villa community was sold to Xiong Er at a low price by Su Ying. Although Liu Mingxiong also had a house in the community, it was her uncle's house after all.

The father and daughter lived in the staff dormitory of Peach Blossom Lake Scenic Area, while Su Ying lived in the group headquarters at the foot of Chicken Cry Mountain.

"You can stay at Zeng Xiaoxiao's house. She's unlikely to come back anyway. I know you mainly live in the scenic area, but it's convenient to have a place to stay in the city."

Zhao Chang'an suggested that Zeng Xiaoxiao's villa was previously connected to Liu Cui's, but after Su Ying sold Liu Cui's villa, Xiong Er rebuilt the wall to avoid taking advantage of Zeng Xiaoxiao, who rarely visited Shancheng. "No need," Xiong Er replied. "Aren't we going to take back the shares of the Rose Group? Once we take them back, if those three villas are sold, my mom said she'll buy another one."

Su Ying's statement signifies that she truly intends to make the cultural tourism group her last career, given that she is already in her early forties and, at most, only has six or seven years left to flourish as a woman.

"Alright, after the acquisition is completed, release those three properties and see who within the organization needs them."

Upon hearing Liu Cui's words, Zhao Chang'an no longer insisted.

“I heard from my uncle that the Mai family and the Lang family are willing to sell all their shares and have agreed to return all the kickbacks, but they are not willing to lower the share price too much. My aunt also thinks it is acceptable. After all, no matter what the outside world says or how these two families try to justify themselves, it is a fact that they received millions in kickbacks. If the final selling price of their shares is reasonable, even if it cannot stop them from talking nonsense, the transaction price of the shares is there. No matter what, it is not like the people of Shancheng have taken advantage of the situation.”

"When did your aunt talk about this with herself?"

Zhao Chang'an was a little surprised. This matter had nothing to do with Liu Cui, yet Duan Fengqing had time to chat with her about it.

“She told me this that very evening. She not only talked about this, but also about the operation of the scenic area and other things, and invited me to her home for dinner sometime.”

Zhao Chang'an knew that Duan Fengqing must have received a reward from Wu Yudong, and based on the news on Jiangcheng TV tonight, he estimated that he would be returning to Shancheng in the next couple of days.

Since he was going back to Shancheng, he would definitely have to meet with Liu Cui, so bringing up this matter in advance was a way of making a soft, informal statement in private, and at the same time, he hoped that Liu Cui could convey Zhao Chang'an's attitude back to him.

"Don't worry about that. Wenye knows what's good for him. As long as Mai Guixue and Lang Ruping don't cause any trouble, the final share price will definitely exceed their investment over the past two years plus interest, and may even be a little more."

If we look at it purely from the perspective of winning or losing in this game of chess, Zhao Chang'an could have completely shut down the Mai and Lang families, leaving them with nothing and acquiring those shares at a bargain price.

However, this sets an upper limit for future developments, making it difficult for the cultural tourism group to find partners in the future.

Including the mergers and acquisitions of scenic spots, given the current situation, which scenic spot can claim to have completely clean finances?

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the water is clear, there will be no evil.

Zhao Chang'an's goal was to get rid of these two speculators who had no intention of building a truly national or even world-class tourism group. Instead, they were focused on listing the cultural tourism group in Hong Kong, then using the opportunity to inflate the stock price and cash out. This would free up space for truly like-minded partners.

Liu Cui laughed upon hearing this, feeling incredibly relaxed and sweet inside. Her beloved always considered her feelings and handled even the most troublesome matters perfectly, without making things difficult for her.

"Buzz~"

Just then, Liu Cui's phone vibrated. She sat up in surprise and turned to the side to pick it up, complaining, "Who has time to be so free at a time like this?"

Then Zhao Chang'an felt Liu Cui's body suddenly tense up. At this moment, no one but Su Ying could make her so nervous by calling her.

Why would she call at this hour? Does she guess I'm back in Shancheng and want to invite me to dinner?
