20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3831 Nan Qiuli

"By the way, there's something that happened here that you may have heard about, about Zhou Zongsheng, the father of your goddaughter, and Liu Laiying, a waitress at Zhou's restaurant."

Zhao Chang'an was puzzled when Zhong Jianguo told him about this. What did he have to do with the father of a goddaughter that he needed to call him like this?

A shrewd person like Zhong Jianguo should be able to guess that the reason he recognized this goddaughter had nothing to do with the Zhou family, but simply because this little woman, Hu Qian, was pretty enough.

Zhao Chang'an guessed that this was the general consensus, but in reality, he wanted to see if Zhou Zhou, a little girl who was only a year and a few months old, would become the "other people's child" that parents in Zhengzhou talked about at the age of sixteen or seventeen, the undisputed big sister in the hearts of the female students in her school, and make his own daughter a little fan.

Therefore, even if Zhou Zongsheng had an accident, there was no reason for Zhong Jianguo to call him specifically to tell him.

The light turned green, and the car continued forward.

Zhao Chang'an knew that Zhong Jianguo was not a person who spoke without reason. He pulled his hand out from under Nan Qiuli's skirt and said with a smile, "I heard about this from Hu Qian on the phone yesterday. The situation on her side seems too complicated. I was afraid that Old Zhou and his wife would have a fit and scare Zhou Zhou. So I asked Jin Shibao to bring her and her daughter to the townhouse and let them stay in my villa for now."

Nan Qiuli glanced at Zhao Chang'an out of the corner of her eye, her pretty face still flushed.

"This case is very simple. After committing the crime, Ma Changjian and Wang Yuande stole dozens of kilograms of cooked beef and mutton to sell at the West District Market. After obtaining the clue, we apprehended the two men. Through surprise interrogation and comparison of fingerprints left at the scene, the case has been solved."

Zhao Chang'an felt it was surreal; there were still such idiots in this world. The city of Shancheng was oriented along the north bank of the Taohua River, forming a long, narrow, and flat east-west strip.

Although Zhouji is located in Tiedong District, which is 20 to 30 miles away from the West District Market, they are still in the same city.

"Ma Changjian confessed that his decision to steal from Zhou's restaurant was impromptu. A few days earlier, he had dined and dashed at Zhou's restaurant and overheard you and Zhou Gen saying that Zhou's restaurant was very profitable. At that time, Zhou Zongsheng looked down on them for eating for free and had a very bad attitude, which made him resentful. Of course, what he said was very unreasonable. Ma Changjian's brother, Ma Changnian, was the director of the farmers' market. Ma Changjian and Wang Yuande spent all their time at the farmers' market and often ate and dashed at Zhou's restaurant. How could they not know whether Zhou's restaurant was profitable or not? Wang Yuande's confession was much more credible. He said that he had never heard Ma Changjian mention the conversation between you and Zhou Gen before. Everyone knew that the Zhou family was rich."

Zhong Jianguo said on the phone: "In order to be factual, the recorder has recorded Ma Changjian's confession as Ma Changjian knew that the Zhou family was very rich, and that he was treated badly by Zhou Zongsheng when he was eating for free, so he held a grudge."

The car stopped at the gate of Huang Juan's residential area. Zhao Chang'an felt that his fingers were a little sticky and uncomfortable, so he put them to his nose and smelled them.

As a seasoned veteran, Zhao Chang'an's action just now was actually a subtle way of checking the cards, using the four words of observation, listening, questioning, and palpation to determine the basic situation of the target.

It was certain that Nan Qiuli was still a virgin, and she also paid great attention to hygiene, so he was very satisfied with the results of the license plate inspection.

Nan Qiuli blushed and pulled his hand away, taking out a wet wipe from her bag to wipe it for him.

"Uncle, this is actually not a big deal."

Zhao Chang'an wondered to himself, did Zhong Jianguo call him specifically to talk about this trivial matter? When did he become so gossipy and idle?

Zhong Jianguo said quietly, "This morning, Zhou Genhou and his wife, along with their relatives, and Liu Laiying's parents, brother, sister-in-law, and relatives, went to the police station near the farmers' market to report that Ma Er and Gunzi were acting on your orders to harm Zhou Zongsheng in order to take advantage of Hu Qian. They said that Ma Er and Gunzi were Xu San's underlings and had worked for Xu Wanrong at Shancheng Luyuan for a while, and had met her at her shop a few days ago. They claimed that Hu Qian's refusal to come out of the villa was evidence that you wanted to take her." "The police station called Hu Qian to verify this. Hu Qian said that the Zhou family resented her going back, and she didn't dare stay there. She didn't say much else, just that she didn't dare go back. Of course, the police station didn't tolerate such baseless slander and gave them a severe reprimand. After the Zhou and Liu families left, they had lunch at a hotel, drank alcohol, and then got into a fight over Liu Laiying. Old Zhou was hospitalized, and it seems quite serious."

Zhao Chang'an was stunned. Old Zhou and his wife were really crazy. How could they come up with such a bizarre idea?

"Uncle, thank you. I'll talk to Hu Qian and ask her to stay at Jin Shibao's house for a while."

Anyone with common sense would think that Lao Zhou has gone mad, but people love to fabricate all sorts of scandals, especially stories about capable men and beautiful women. If the woman is married, they get even more excited.

"That's for the best. If anything happens, let Jin Shibao handle it. Sun Xiu's child and Hu Qian's child are both babies."

Zhong Jianguo nodded.

Zhao Chang'an called Jin Shibo and spoke with him for a while. Then he called Hu Qian, told her about the situation, and asked her to go to Jin Shibo's house to stay right away.

After hanging up the phone, Nan Qiuli looked at Zhao Chang'an with curiosity and said, "If you say you didn't have anything going on with that woman, I absolutely won't believe you."

"After all, she is my goddaughter's mother. The two of them are quite pitiful. One should be kind."

Zhao Chang'an said with a righteous expression, "If everyone in society viewed people with such a dark perspective as you, who in this world would dare to do good deeds and selflessly help others?"

"hehe!"

Nan Qiuli sneered.

"I won't say any more to you. Chang'an Real Estate's future development will definitely be better than Green Garden's. In terms of sales experience, you are stronger than Yan You and Mai Fei. The position of sales director has always been reserved for you. You have also done very well in Green Garden Group over the years. You can contact some colleagues with strong business capabilities to support this part."

Where is Yan You?

Nan Qiuli was secretly pleased, but she felt that she was still not as good-looking as Yan You and was afraid that Zhao Chang'an would make her empty promises.

“She’s not suited for this position. The reason why Green Garden’s houses sell so well in Chongqing is because of the Green Garden brand, the endorsement of OneNan, and the marketing methods that Yan You and Mai Fei introduced from the Yangtze River Delta region. It’s a game-changer. If we really have to compete with the sales methods in the Yangtze River Delta region, she might not be good enough. Mai Fei will stay in the sales department, and Yan You will be in charge of the design department.”

Seeing that Nan Qiuli seemed a little confused, Zhao Chang'an explained, "The positioning of future residential communities will be very different from that of previous ones. Take Zhuangyuanfu and Fuhe Xueyuan for example. They were almost entirely made of concrete, with a few low-rise buildings with elevators, and that made them high-end communities. Taohuashanzhuang had a kindergarten, a dozen or so low-rise buildings, and some flowers and trees, and that also made it a high-end community. Future high-quality communities will emphasize livability and a garden-like atmosphere, which requires a high level of appreciation for beauty and a sense of balance."

"Does that mean I only know how to buy houses and don't know how to appreciate beauty?"

Nan Qiuli was a little unconvinced, but she was happy inside, and her eyes were full of smiles.
