When He Jian saw Qi Yuexin’s legs, he recalled many things of the past, which inevitably made him a little lost in thought. Once Qi Yueran looked back, he saw He family’s third-gongzi was looking at his big brother with a complicated gaze that was hard for him to describe how he felt about it.
Qi Yueran still didn’t understand his feelings for his big brother. According to his mother’s previous words, Little Ran was too attached to his gege and she thought it was merely family affection and nothing more.
He noticed that He Jian had been looking at this side all the way with the look that said it was not their first time meeting each other. There was familiarity and a kind of implicit dissatisfaction and regret. Generally speaking, it made people uncomfortable.
Qi Yueran supported Qi Yuexin and moved his body a half step aside which then cut off He Jian’s gaze. However, he would not let himself appear impolite and thus said to He Jian: “Please come in, He Third-shao. The dinner is ready.”
“Please lead the way.” He Jian had returned to his senses and smiled as he nodded to Qi Yueran. Hearing Qi Yueran’s voice was like having a light illuminated inside the dark gray [world], which made him feel hopeful and the past unhappiness and depression also dissipated a lot.
He Jian was very familiar with every furnishing and decoration of Qi Residence. In fact, he didn’t need anyone to show him the way as he could do it routinely and with ease.
When his company declared bankruptcy and he left the city, this courtyard villa of Qi Family had completely been taken away by Wu Family’s people. It was only a few months since he left the villa, but he still wanted to have a good look at it in every place.
He Jian followed Qi Yueran in and looked around at the same time; the kind of reaction that made others felt that it was a normal thing. Although it was that far away of a distance, but along the way, the old Master said “please” to him more than five or six times.
He Jian felt bad a little and couldn’t bear the courtesy that his father gave to him. At the same time, he sighed about the influence of He Family. He never expected that God would favor him and made him reborn in the body of the third young master of He Family.
He Jian was the youngest son of He Family. It’s needless to say that Madam He loved and indulged him. Although Mater He was usually serious, he could never punish He Jian mercilessly, which then allowed He Family’s Third-shao to have a notorious reputation. After He Jian’s rebirth, of course, he realized the concern of his family members, which was something he didn’t realize before.
In the past, He Jian had never complained about his parents loved his big brother more, because He Jian felt guilty since big brother hurt his leg. He also changed his ways to please big brother and so thought that it was normal for his parents to be partial.
What he didn’t understand was that his parents were better at treating outsiders than him. They gave lenient treatment and also their assiduous and thoughtful attention to that fellow of Wu Family. Big brother even gave the information to that surname Wu that resulted in his family’s company completely destroyed by Wu Family. After everything, no one said anything bad about that surname Wu. Instead, it was him who became the vicious villain.
When everyone was at the table, Master Qi asked people to serve food before he said to him, “This place of ours is small, not comparable to a big city and the food and drink are not very exquisite. He Third-shao is a person who has seen the world[1], please don’t be disgusted.”
He Jian said, “Old Qi is too polite. I’m not here to play this time. It’ll do as long as I can eat to my fill. Also, it’s not true about me paying attention to those things.” Then he took a look at Qi Yueran beside him before he continued: “To be honest with you guys, this time that I came here to Quanlin is to learn through experience and without having to rely on my family’s help, I want to make some career by myself. I came here too hurriedly and hastily made an appointment with Qi Second-shao to talk about cooperation. I don’t know if it was rude of me to do so.”
Even though Qi Yueran had prejudices about him, he listened to He Jian saying such which actually gave him some respect, so his mouth said, “That’s a coincidence. I too, just went into the company to learn through experience; the same situation as He Third-shao.” However, there was a sneer in his heart; who would believe that He Family would ignore this third young master. He Third-shao hadn’t arrived at Quanlin yet, but almost the whole business circle knew that such a big shot was coming. Not only in the business circle, but even the government officials had heard about it. There were many people who wanted to take care of him.
He Jian knew about himself. He knew more than anyone else about what kind of personality he had ten years ago, even more than this young Qi Yueran. Although Qi Yueran had a pleasantly surprised and like-minded expression, his slightly disdainful eyes revealed himself.
He Jian suddenly felt a little upset. He was despised and ridiculed by his self. But this also couldn’t be blamed on Qi Yueran. Even when he was just reborn, he was also very astonished that he had become such a notorious person.
He Jian sighed secretly. It seemed that it’s quite difficult to change people’s impression of him.
“I think the time is getting late. Let’s talk while we eat.” Qi Yuexin seldom contacted people in the business circle. Every day, in addition to painting, he read books and did what he likes to do. So it’s right to say that his personality was “simple” and precisely was too simple.
Qi Yuexin felt that He Jian was young and promising, and he could not help admiring him. Let alone his father was very polite to He Jian, he was even more impressed to hear that He Jian didn’t want to rely on his family to start his own business.
Master Qi hurriedly called out and gave a toast to He Jian.
After all, Qi Yueran was still too young and he didn’t the future’s maturity. His body was still emitting the soft and immature youth. He was very unhappy when he saw that his big brother was impressed with He Jian.
Although he was unhappy, he couldn’t show it too much. After all, He Family couldn’t be provoked or offended by people from such a small place, because it was a big Buddha, which could only be flattered and offered sacrifice.
Of course, He Jian could see his thoughts. He merely felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He came all the way to Quanlin City to protect his “self”. He initially wanted to be particularly attentive to his “self”, but who would have expected that after some fawning, it made Qi Yueran dislike him instead.
He Jian gave a light cough and inadvertently brought the topic to the main topic, so as not to let Qi Yueran felt that he was not serious. He said: “I read the information about Quanlin before I came. It’s said that there’s a piece of land in the north of the city; the competitive bidding of Wu Family and Qi Family. But recently, something went wrong. They couldn’t turn over their capital, so half of the building construction was temporarily suspended.”
Qi Yueran frowned slightly. This matter was true, not gossip. When he just joined the company, the president took him to talk about the cooperation with Wu Family. At that time, they invested a lot of money in it. They thought they could build a luxurious area and the return investment must be very considerable. But he didn’t expect that the Wu Family who promised to do well, in the middle of it, had an internal strife; they divided their family properties and the company was divided into factions. As a result, the underway construction was put on hold for two months as the capital couldn’t be turned over temporarily.
Because this matter was discussed by the president and Qi Yueran was just following to learn, so although he was not satisfied with the Wu Family, he could not handle it as it was beyond his authority. He also didn’t know what the president and his old man had said about that. His old man merely said: we have some friendship with the Wu Family. Let’s wait and see the situation.
He Jian was very clear about it. At that time, this matter gave him quite a big impression. What he advocated was to terminate the cooperation and recover the remaining capital as the reason for the failure of cooperation was indeed Wu Family. Paying for the debt owed was a matter of course and being a businessman couldn’t be soft-hearted. But the old man didn’t agree, even Qi Yuexin didn’t agree. In the end, they even gave Wu Family a way out.
“I’ve paid a close attention to this matter. I don’t know if I’ve misspoken?” Seeing that they were silent, He Jian raised an eyebrow and asked Qi Yueran next to them.
Qi Yueran said: “The land in the north of the city is still half empty. Even if I lie to He Third-shao with a good face, He Third-shao won’t believe it. I just don’t know why Third-shao mentioned this? Are you interested in the north of the city? Do you want to invest?”
He Jian shook his head. He hoped that Wu Family would go bankrupt forever, how could he invest in them? He said, “I’m interested in that land. However, I think that the location of the land is too biased and the surrounding facilities are not complete. Even if a building is built on it, it will not sell for a big price.”
“… What do you mean, Third-shao?” Qi Yueran asked, “Not constructing buildings, does that mean constructing commercial districts?”
He Jian still shook his head and said, “Commercial district is not good either. It’s still a problem of location bias.”
Qi Yueran was somewhat puzzled; he could think of anything else. After all, Quanlin City was a small place. The north of the city was relatively remote and backward and traffic was not very convenient. It was neither closed to the port nor realistic to build factories.
He Jian said: “I heard that Qi Second-shao had followed to discuss about this cooperation at the beginning. Right now, the cooperation is going to fall through soon. Do you have any interest in discussing it with me? I want to work with Qi Family to get the land. I have carefully observed that the place can be built into a film and television base, which is large enough and does not need much convenient transportation.”
Qi Yueran’s eyes brightened a little and thought it was a good idea. But he didn’t pick up the thread of a conversation. He was pushed aside in the company and thus couldn’t make the decision.
Old Master Qi thought it was a good idea, but his face was obviously a little hesitant as he said, “But if we pull out like this, won’t Wu Family…”
He Jian laughed “hah-hah” and said in a joking tone: “The elder is making fun of the junior. It’s a business affair and not a blind date for the young lady that she has to take mincing steps to be considerate of other people’s feelings.”
Master Qi felt ashamed once he heard that. He could not refute it and could only say: “These things are not going to be finished in a short time, let’s eat first and talk about it later.”
He Jian nodded and smiled as he picked up the wineglass and bumped it against Master Qi’s. However, he didn’t let this matter go.
There was no shortage of wine on the table. Master Qi couldn’t drink much as he was old, but he could persuade him to drink. He always made Qi Yueran toast to He Jian. Qi Yueran was only twenty-one years old now. He couldn’t compare with He Family’s Third-shao’s body that used to fool around all the time.
The young man’s face was slightly red after drinking a few glasses and his body was also slightly hot. He stood up and wanted to wash his face in the bathroom to reduce the temperature. He said, “Excuse me, I’ll leave first…”
Qi Yueran suddenly stood up. He was very drunk and not feeling very well. He hadn’t eaten a few mouthfuls of food even when he was drinking. The view in front of him was a little dark and his legs were trembling that he almost couldn’t stand up.
He Jian was still quite sober. When the person beside him was trembling, he immediately tensed up as if he had been stabbed by a needle and went to help Qi Yueran quickly. In fact, Qi Yueran was not too drunk as to not be able stand up. It was actually He Jian who went out of his way to support him, making him cried out “ah” softly. This time, he really couldn’t stand firm and fell into He Jian’s arms.
