Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 664 A Super Thick Thigh

Could it be that Gu Lingfei took the initiative to call Li Guoqiang, which is why she was able to connect with him and thus rise above her?

Upon hearing Gu Lingfei's words, Ruan Muning couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she would have been better off finding an excuse to keep Gu Lingfei calm and then trying to sow discord between Gu Lingfei and Li Guoqiang!
"Sister Mu Ning, are you listening?" Gu Lingfei felt a sense of relief when she saw that there was no sound from her phone for a long time, and then asked softly.

"Yes, tell me!" Ruan Mu Ning snapped out of her daze upon hearing this, and then, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, tried her best to remain calm as she answered.

Because she knew that now that Li Guoqiang and Gu Lingfei were together, she couldn't afford to play any more tricks.

The best way is to repair the relationship with Gu Lingfei as soon as possible, and then form a united front to try to firmly control Li Guoqiang, this tycoon, so that they can obtain enough benefits.

"Sister Mu Ning, are you free tonight? Brother Qiang has entrusted me with managing his newly bought house, and I'd like to ask you for some advice on how to best manage it." Gu Lingfei's voice revealed sincerity.

Although she wanted Ruan Mu Ning to see how luxurious her current house was, her request was also genuine.

After all, she had never had the opportunity to manage a luxury mansion worth tens of millions before, and she was not very clear about many things to pay attention to.

In order not to anger Li Guoqiang, and also to demonstrate her abilities, she thought it over and over and decided that she should still make use of Ruan Muning's abilities.

In addition, she also wanted to use this method to determine who was in a dominant position between her and Ruan Mu Ning.

“I have some free time. I also want to see what kind of house Brother Qiang bought. Send me the address later, and I’ll go over as soon as I get off work.” Ruan Mu Ning agreed without hesitation when she heard Gu Ling Fei’s request.

As for whether doing this would be shameful or allow Gu Lingfei to take advantage of the situation, those things are no longer important.

Most importantly, she now needs to reconcile with Gu Lingfei.

Otherwise, given Li Guoqiang's different attitudes towards her and Gu Lingfei, it would be really difficult for her to get any benefits from Li Guoqiang in the future.

"Okay, I'll send you the address in a bit!" Gu Lingfei was delighted, then gave the instructions and hung up the phone.

Immediately afterwards, she turned and walked into the real estate agency, slammed the resignation letter she had already written onto the desk of the bald, greasy store manager, and then very casually walked away with some personal belongings.

The bald, greasy store manager, seeing Gu Lingfei's arrogance, swallowed back the words he was about to say to her.

As a seasoned real estate agent, he has seen many people like Gu Lingfei who suddenly resign with a nonchalant air.

These people have basically all found a wealthy patron, which gives them the confidence to bully others.

Unfortunately, he had originally planned to use the promotion assessment to get a good feel for Gu Lingfei and see if he could have a taste of her fresh meat, but now that opportunity is completely gone.

With a sense of regret, he reached up and smoothed his thinning hair, somewhat blaming God for not giving him a handsome face.

In that case, he wouldn't still be without a wealthy woman to lend him a helping hand until now.

At this moment, Gu Lingfei had no idea that her ill-intentioned boss had gone from coveting her to envying her.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't care much.

Because when Li Guoqiang took out his bank card and casually paid over 40 million yuan to buy her a house to live in, she already stood up straight.

Let alone a small real estate agency store manager, even if the CEO of their agency came, she could throw her resignation letter in his face without any hesitation.

Soon, she returned to her rented apartment from the real estate agency. Looking at the room full of things she had personally prepared, a look of worry appeared on her face.

She couldn't bear to throw them all away.

She felt it wouldn't be quite right to call a Lalamove to take all the stuff to Li Guoqiang's newly bought mansion.

After much deliberation, she finally decided to leave those things as they were and not return the house.

In any case, with the adoption fees she can currently receive, covering the rent for this house is still very easy for her.

Not to mention, once Li Guoqiang sets up that multi-million dollar investment company, she will also be able to receive a salary as the general manager.

It is estimated that the minimum annual salary will not be less than 20.

In that case, she already has the means to preserve this cozy little home that she created herself.

Besides, another reason she decided to keep the house was that it was the place where she and Xu Dong first played together.

If possible, she hoped to keep it there forever, until the day when Li Guoqiang no longer needed her, so that she could return here and reminisce about the good old days.

Just as she began packing some personal belongings in preparation for moving into the mansion, Li Guoqiang had already contacted the landlord and terminated the lease.

Incidentally, he also hired a secondhand goods dealer to pack up and sell all the unwanted items in the house.

Although he didn't end up with much money, his main principle was to be diligent and thrifty.

After everything was taken care of and his personal belongings were moved to the car, he stood downstairs, looking at the neighborhood where he had lived for many years, and at the stray cats that had sneaked out to look for food on the roadside. He couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

No matter how miserable or difficult his past life may have been, that is the path he has walked on his journey to this world.

Now, it's time for him to start a new life.

However, just as he got into the car, preparing to rush back to his hometown that very night, he suddenly received a call from Young Master Ma.

"Hey, Qiang, do you still have any tiger bone wine?"

"There are some more, what's wrong?"

"Um, could you spare some for me? Name your price!"

"I see! Then it's 500 million per bottle, and I can transfer 10 bottles to you in total."

"Ten bottles? No, Brother Qiang, that's really not enough! Could you give me a few more?"

"It's not that I'm unwilling to give you more, it's that I'm worried that if you take too much, it will put pressure on our finances!"

"You don't need to worry about that. No matter how much you give me, I can handle it all."

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I have nothing more to say. I'll give you 30 bottles in total, that's the maximum I can give you."

"Great! When can we make the deal?"

"Tell me the address, and I'll deliver it to you right away." Upon hearing this, Young Master Ma immediately gave a location, then hung up the phone and hurriedly called the testing personnel over.

The reason he was in such a hurry was mainly because the wine was just too potent.

It not only allows people to fight to their heart's content on the battlefield, but also strengthens the body's foundation and nourishes the vital energy, making people feel refreshed and in great physical condition.

For wealthy people, nothing is more important than being able to have fun while also improving their physical fitness.

To put it bluntly, if money could buy life, then no matter how expensive it was, people would line up to buy it.

Given this situation, Young Master Ma naturally didn't need to worry about wasting money on wine.

In fact, he never intended to make money from this wine; rather, he wanted to use it to gain favors.

In other words, he wasn't confident he could uncover Li Guoqiang's source of goods; otherwise, he might have already had Li Guoqiang tied up and interrogated.

Soon, Li Guoqiang drove to the transaction location that Young Master Ma had mentioned.

It was a tea house decorated in an antique style, with a very quiet environment, perfect for doing some private things.

Li Guoqiang didn't pay much attention to this, and didn't even get out of the car. He simply called Young Master Ma and asked him to bring people over to inspect the goods and pay.

"Brother Qiang!"

Before long, Young Master Ma came out of the tea shop with his men, his face full of warm smiles.

"The goods are in the trunk. Take some men and go check them out!" Li Guoqiang glanced at Young Master Ma, then whispered his instructions.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Ma immediately waved to the testing personnel standing behind him, then stepped forward, offered Li Guoqiang a cigarette, and even took out a lighter to light it for him himself.

Then, he lit another one, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked with a chuckle, "Brother Qiang, besides these two kinds of liquor, do you have any others?"
If you have one, could you let me see it?

"That's all, and I'm not even sure if these two types of wine will be available in the future," Li Guoqiang shook his head and said calmly.

"Is that so? Then can't you brew it yourself?" Young Master Ma frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then asked with some anticipation.

"Do you think that, given the current environment, it's still possible to brew this kind of wine?" Li Guoqiang glanced at Young Master Ma, then asked instead of answering.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Ma was speechless.

In fact, he had already asked the testing personnel about it when he received the first bottle of deer antler wine from Li Guoqiang.

The testers explained that these wines had been aged for at least a hundred years, and combined with various extremely precious medicinal herbs and exquisite brewing recipes, this was why they had such miraculous medicinal effects.

However, because the effects of these wines were so significant, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

In his view, even if he couldn't brew the exact same medicinal wine, just one percent of its efficacy would be an immense fortune!
Unfortunately, he also understood that Li Guoqiang was right.

Even if we had the formula, it's probably impossible to find those precious medicinal herbs now.

If the medicinal materials do not meet the standards, then there is no way to replicate the medicinal wine.

Because some recipes don't allow you to choose the level of saltiness like you would with cooking.

If even one ingredient is missing, the formula is useless.

Just as Young Master Ma was thinking about whether he could buy the formula and have someone study it carefully, the inspectors had finished examining the thirty bottles of medicinal wine and came over to report to Young Master Ma:

"Mr. Ma, these medicinal wines are the same as the previous bottle."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Ma immediately picked up his phone and transferred 1.5 million yuan to Li Guoqiang, noting that it was the after-tax transaction amount.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" Li Guoqiang smiled and extended his hand when he saw the extra 1.5 small goals in his account.

In fact, he hadn't expected to get so much money from Young Master Ma so quickly.

After all, this isn't a business worth hundreds of thousands or millions, but a business worth hundreds of millions.

From this, he also realized that he had underestimated the medicinal wines in his personal little world.

Putting everything else aside, its aging process of over a hundred years makes it unique in the world.

I wonder how Ruan Mu Ning will feel when she sees that he has earned another 1.5 million so quickly.
"Holy crap! What... what's going on? Why is there suddenly so much money in his account?"

At that moment, Ruan Muning was about to leave work to check out Li Guoqiang's newly purchased house when she suddenly saw a notification pop up on her computer system, informing her that there had been changes to the account of her valued client.

Then, when she saw that Li Guoqiang's account suddenly had an additional 1.5 million yuan, she was instantly stunned.

It's important to understand that even some listed companies might not be able to earn this much money in a whole year.

She remembered that in the past two days, besides eating and drinking, Li Guoqiang also took her and Gu Lingfei to look at houses and bought a duplex apartment worth more than 40 million yuan. He also made sure to feed her and Gu Lingfei very well.

Therefore, she really couldn't figure out what kind of business Li Guoqiang was doing that could make so much money all at once.

And, most importantly, this money is after tax, making it impossible for anyone to doubt it.

That really is a super thick thigh!

After much thought, Ruan Muning could only sigh inwardly.

Then, she became even more eager to mend her relationship with Gu Lingfei and form a united front.

If someone were to steal such a great thigh, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

Just as she was rushing to Li Guoqiang's newly purchased house, Li Guoqiang had already declined Mr. Ma's invitation to dinner and then drove directly onto the highway, heading towards a third-tier coastal city next to Shenzhen.

At the same time, in order to surprise his parents, he did not call them in advance.

That being said, it seems like he hasn't been home for almost half a year, and he's even rarely made phone calls back.

All of this is because his mind is usually filled with work-related matters, and he has no time or inclination to think about anything else.

Now, he has achieved financial freedom, and many things that he never dared to think about or couldn't do before are now things that he can gradually make up for and regain.
