Chapter 433: The Answer to Love
Chapter 433: The answer to love
Qi Jingru was silent for a while before looking at him and said, "Brother Tian, will the money from the Qi family be of great help to your career?"
Zhang Haotian immediately said: "Jingru, you must not consider me in this matter. I will tell you two things today, which is to give you a comprehensive consideration and choose the way you and me get along in the future. But no matter what choice you make, I will take care of you for the rest of my life and will not let people bully and threaten you again."
Qi Jingru listened to Zhang Haotian's words, her beautiful eyes kept flashing, but she quickly shook her head and said, "Brother Tian, I'm very confused now. Can you give me a day to think about it? I will give you an answer tomorrow night."
Zhang Haotian knew that Qi Jingru must be very Mao Dun in her heart at this moment, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will wait for your reply and respect your decision."
Qi Jingru said "um" and stood up, went to pick up the red suitcase she carried with her. She wanted to leave, Zhang Haotian quickly stood up and said, "Jingru, don't be busy, I'll give it to you."
However, Qi Jingru shook her head and said, "No, Brother Tian, I want to take the taxi back by myself, please let me be quiet."
After hearing what Qi Jingru said, Zhang Haotian naturally couldn't force it. Now she lives in Zhang Haotian's dormitory in the past in "Alice Model Agency". It has been renovated. Although it is not big, the facilities are very complete. Moreover, Wen Xiaoyu and Jiang Hong and the others all live in the dormitory next to them. Qi Jingru is willing to get along with the people in the company, so she has not bought another house. However, the "Hongwang Building" has become the current "Tianhong Building" and can be guaranteed in terms of safety.
Although Qi Jingru didn't let him send him off, Zhang Haotian still accompanied her downstairs and helped her recruit a taxi.
Watching Qi Jingru's car go away, Zhang Haotian sighed secretly. If Qi Jingru chose to leave, although he would respect her decision, there would inevitably be an eternal pain in his heart. He would not regret telling the truth, but he would regret the departure of a good woman. At this moment, he was also reflecting that he should pay more attention to women and not show mercy everywhere, otherwise he would be sorry for these women who are wholeheartedly devoted to him. They can give themselves a sense of happiness, and they also have to repay their kindness so that they will not regret following them.
On the next day, this day seemed to be longer than usual. When Zhang Haotian thought of Qi Jingru's better, he still felt nervous, so he could only dilute this emotion by doing things. He arrived at Tianhong Building, called Yu Guangzhong to his office, and began to discuss the operation of the building.
At this time, Yu Guangzhong told him a good news, that is, Boss Chen, who is the first floor of "Lianhua Supermarket", took the initiative to find him and told him that he was willing to accept the conditions of "Tianhong Trading Group Company" to withdraw, but he hoped that the standard of decoration fees could be increased a little, because after all, now that prices are rising, he has to open a store in another place, which will cost more than in the past.
Zhang Haotian knew in his heart that there was only one reason why Boss Chen, who had always been stubborn, came to the door to ask for the withdrawal of the store. It was because he heard the background about the "Tianhong Trading Corporation". Most of the people advised him not to be stupid and oppose the underworld.
Zhang Haotian certainly welcomes Boss Chen’s cooperation, but he has always adhered to the principle of keeping people on the front line. He asked Yu Guangzhong to notify Boss Chen and let him operate for another year for free still counts. The decoration fee is doubled as his past expenses. In addition, when he relocated, all the expenses were borne by "Tianhong Trading Group Company". Such conditions are quite generous for Boss Chen.
"Lianhua Supermarket" has been solved, so there is naturally no problem with the other floors. According to the prior plan, except for the supermarket on the first floor, the second and third floors will be the main store of the "Tianhong Restaurant". As for the fourth and thirteenth floors, it will be a large multi-functional entertainment city. In addition to nightclubs and bathing centers, beauty salons, billiards, bowling alleys, swimming pools, bars, dibas and even movie screening halls, etc., there will be everything. To ensure that people in S City have entertainment consumption, the first reaction is to come to "Tianhong Building".
Yu Guangzhong is a very responsible person. He has already prepared a plan, which is a total of dozens of pages thick, even so delicate that the prices of wine glasses and billiards. Zhang Haotian was relieved by him. He just flipped through it and arrived at the summary page of the last page. However, he found that if the renovation was to be carried out at the same time, he also had to compensate the relocated merchants. The initial investment required at least 500 million. Including training employees and purchasing various facilities in the later stage, plus some advertising investment, the minimum required is about 800 million. The golden territory of the "Tianhong Building" and the huge investment can be built into a commercial aircraft carrier integrating catering, entertainment and shopping. It is unique in the current S market. Even if there is no background of a gang, the chance of success is 70%. If you use gangs to attack competitors, the risk is almost zero.
The end of the plan is the expected time. Lianhua Supermarket will not be evacuated one year later, while merchants from the second to thirteenth floors will evacuate two months later, that is, after the Spring Festival. If funds are in place, construction will be stepped up, and it is estimated that the decoration will be completed in half a year, and we will strive to officially open on the National Day next year.
The plan states that the investment is less than Zhang Haotian imagined, but this is also because Tianhong Building is his own, reducing the rent.
Seeing Zhang Haotian finishing reading the plan, Yu Guangzhong immediately analyzed the funding situation with him.
On Baidao, the most profitable ones are undoubtedly foreign trade companies and aquatic products companies. The rest are Renhe Hospital, Shanmin Hospital, Tianhong Hotel, Tianhong Restaurant, and some nightclubs and taxi companies. Although there are profits due to limited scale, they are not much. The only highlight is the "Alice Model Agency". Due to the increasing reputation of Qi Jingru, Ye Binglan worked hard to manage it. Ke Yunlu no longer suppressed the industry since he met Zhang Haotian last time. Instead, he acquiesced to Ye Binglan's development. His business has been very smooth. There are more and more models under his jurisdiction. In addition to TV models, there are also car models and graphic models. Ye Binglan and Wu Xiaogang are currently roaming and negotiating business in various cities in G Province. The appointment fee has been paid more than 10 million, but for his current financial situation, it is still a drop in the bucket.
In the underworld, since he does not operate huge profits of drugs, although there are hundreds of casinos, large and small, plus the "security fees" for various places on the territory, he can only barely support the living expenses of more than 13,000 brothers of the Tianlang Gang and provide some monthly pensions for some casualties.
However, there are more expenditures. "Tianhong Villa" is still under construction. The installment payment signed by Wanhong Gang assets is 20 million yuan per month. In addition, the merchants who have withdrawn Tianhong Building must pay immediately. The funds are really short of money. Fortunately, he has a lot of fixed assets. The bank promised to give him one billion yuan after New Year's Day, which means that there is still one month left, and the financial problems will be solved.
Yu Guangzhong was in touch with the decoration matter, and after discussing with Zhang Haotian, he said goodbye. As soon as he went out, the office became quiet. Zhang Haotian couldn't help but think of Qi Jingru again. He didn't know if Qi Jingru was in the "Alice Model Agency" on the 36th floor at this moment, and even had the impulse to go and take a look, but he quickly controlled it. Qi Jingru needed to think calmly and could not go up to influence her decision. Such a choice was fair. He didn't want this woman to be forced.
While sitting quietly, watching the sky gradually getting dark outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the office. It was already evening. The company's people were getting off work. Zhang Haotian was about to go out when he heard the phone in his arms ringing and quickly took it out. It was indeed Qi Jingru called, so he quickly connected and "feeded".
At this moment, Qi Jingru's quiet voice came and said, "Brother Tian, where are you?"
Zhang Haotian said: "In the company's office."
Qi Jingru's voice said: "Do you still remember that 'Fangfang Hotpot Restaurant'? I'm waiting for you there, and it's the private room I used to be."
Of course, Zhang Haotian remembered that the "Fangfang Hotpot Restaurant" was on a remote street in the FT area. The store was not big and the decoration was even more outdated. He had gone to have dinner with Huang Biao and Shi Shizhu. He didn't expect Qi Jingru would choose to talk to him there. But he immediately said: "Okay, I'll come here now."
He hung up the phone while talking, then walked out of the office and took the elevator toward the parking lot below.
Forty minutes later, Zhang Haotian drove the "Audi A6" outside the store of the "Fangfang Hotpot Restaurant" in the ft area.
I stopped the car and walked into the store, but I saw that the lively scenes in the past were gone. There were only two people sitting in the more than ten tables in the hall.
Looking at Zhang Haotian, a middle-aged woman came over to greet him. Zhang Haotian recognized the same boss's wife as before, and couldn't help but say, "Boss wife, why is your business much worse now than before? It's time to eat now, and there are no people? Is the seasoning master gone? The taste of hot pot is a bit worse?"
The middle-aged woman immediately sighed and said, "Sir, the hot pot in our store has always been made by my husband. I didn't hire a master. The taste was exactly the same as before. However, two hot pot restaurants opened in front of us, and the taste was actually not as good as ours, but the decoration was better than us, and some customers who love to be clean went there."
Zhang Haotian said: "Then why don't you decorate? Your business was very good a few years ago. You should have made some money, so you should not have to pay for the decoration fee."
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "That's right, but we have been saying that we want to demolish it, so we are not willing to decorate it. Moreover, the old customers come here and there are not many environmental requirements. Now the houses around are almost demolished, and more and more old customers are walking. When new customers see that our store is outdated and they are unwilling to come in, the business will be bad. We are preparing to move a place, and you may not be able to eat next time you come."
Zhang Haotian actually felt that the taste here was really good, and he felt a little sorry. When he thought of Qi Jingru, he said, "Is there a girl waiting in the inner private room?"
The middle-aged woman nodded quickly and said, "There is a beautiful and elegant girl. Sir, go quickly, she has been waiting for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haotian immediately strode towards the private room inside, and reached the innermost room. Seeing that the door was covered, he pushed open the door and immediately saw Qi Jingru wearing a yellow turtleneck sweater, hair draped over her shoulders, bright eyes and white teeth sitting at the table, dazed intently, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Qi Jingru felt someone coming in, and immediately came back to her senses. When she saw him, she stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Tian, come and sit down."
Zhang Haotian looked at Qi Jingru's expression and seemed to be very calm, but he understood that this was something she deliberately kept. He smiled and nodded, and then sat opposite her.
Qi Jingru had already ordered good dishes, so she reached out to turn on the gas stove and cooked some dishes into the pot.
When the pot started to boil, Zhang Haotian began to take food to eat. At this time, Qi Jingru opened the wine and poured a full glass for him and himself. Zhang Haotian glanced at her and saw that she was pouring a very high-degree spirit. He quickly said, "Jingru, if you don't drink this kind of wine, if you want to drink it, let the boss lady bring another beer."
Unexpectedly, Qi Jingru shook her head and said, "No, I want to drink this kind of wine today. Brother Tian, don't you like drinking this kind of wine the most? I'll accompany you."
Zhang Haotian had no choice but to nod and said, "Then you drink less."
Qi Jingru said "um", raised her glass of wine and said, "Brother Tian, I know you are waiting for my decision. After drinking this glass of wine, I will tell you."
Zhang Haotian raised his glass and touched her, and Qi Jingru immediately drank it in one sip. The glass was not small, and it could be at least one or two wine. Even if it was between men, they would be drunk even if they couldn't drink a few cups. Few people finished drinking it in one sip. Zhang Haotian was worried, but he didn't say it because he was eager to know Qi Jingru's answer.
Qi Jingru was once decadent and often soaked in bars. She didn't drink very lightly, but after drinking such a glass of strong wine on an empty stomach immediately made her snow-white and beautiful face dyed a red glow. Zhang Haotian quickly took a few pieces of vegetables and put them in her bowl, so that she could eat it. If she drank like this, her stomach would definitely be damaged.
Qi Jingru did not reject Zhang Haotian's kindness, and silently ate all the dishes he held, then put down her chopsticks, looked at Zhang Haotian and said, "Brother Tian, do you know why I chose to talk to you in this hot pot restaurant?"
Zhang Haotian shook his head and signaled that he didn't understand.
Qi Jingru said: "Although the environment of this hot pot restaurant is not very good, I especially like its taste. When you go to City G, I often come to eat with Wen Xiaoyu and the others. There are so many hot pot restaurants in City S, but what I am most willing to come here."
Listening to this, Zhang Haotian's heart suddenly moved, because he understood that Qi Jingru's words were definitely meaningful, and the meaning in the words seemed to be that he hoped to get the result.
At this time, Qi Jingru said again: "Brother Tian, I am asking you a very serious and serious question now, and I would like to ask you to answer me seriously and seriously, okay?"
Zhang Haotian immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Jingru, I have decided not to hide anything from you anymore. My answer will never be false."
Qi Jingru said "um" and then looked at his eyes tightly with her beautiful eyes and said, "I want to ask you, do you love me, do you really love me?"
Listening to Qi Jingru's question, Zhang Haotian nodded with certainty without a moment of hesitation, "Love, true love."
Looking at Zhang Haotian's sincere eyes and words, Qi Jingru bit her cherry lips and after a while, she said softly: "Brother Tian, I love you too, I love you more than you imagined. If you leave you, I don't know what will happen to my life. Although you have other women, except Sister Lan, you all met me before. I shouldn't be jealous, but I am your fiancée and my relationship is different from others. I want me to accept your past. I can do it, but I hope you can agree to me with a condition."
Zhang Haotian was looking forward to this answer. He suddenly felt ecstatic when he heard this and said, "What are the conditions, you said."
Qi Jingru's eyes suddenly became firm and bright, and she said, "I want you and me to get married as soon as possible. I need a position and a position to be a wife. In this way, I can comfort her with my mother. It is her biggest regret in her life. If I follow her old path again, she will definitely be very unhappy and even object to me being with you."
Zhang Haotian immediately became silent. As a fiancée who had been engaged to him, Qi Jingru's request was not excessive. He also understood the impact of his parents' marriage on this woman. However, if he agreed, he had to do it, so he could not answer without thinking.
Among his few women, Xiaowei would not argue about status, and Ye Binglan would not, so they only care about Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er. However, when Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er knew about each other's existence and got along well later, they both said that they would not care about status. Moreover, he could only have one official wife, and even if there were only Shangguan Yumei and Xia Ling'er, it would be difficult to decide. No matter from that aspect, choosing Qi Jingru as a formal wife is the most reasonable.
Qi Jingru had already made up her mind to marry Zhang Haotian. When she saw him silent, she looked a little anxious and said, "Brother Tian, I know you knew them first, but both my mother and myself really couldn't accept the result of being an underground lady again. Also, didn't you say I would inherit half of my father's inheritance? If we get married, you can ask for me openly. I don't need that money. No matter how much you have, you can use it to do your career."
Zhang Haotian stared at her and said, "Jingru, have you thought it through clearly? Even if we get married, they still exist, which will make you feel wronged."
Qi Jingru was silent, but shook her head and said, "Brother Tian, I grew up in a gangster family and knew a lot of things. You and I met in the underground diba. You can be with me or with other women. You are so outstanding. As long as you have contacted you, I never even expected that there would be a woman who doesn't like you. From the beginning, I knew that I would never be your only woman. Even after I knew about you and Sister Lan, I was not very angry. Sister Lan is a good woman, a poor woman, and is very nice to me. I really don't want to care too much. Therefore, both in front of you and Sister Lan pretend not to know anything, but I didn't expect you to say it yourself, and there are three others, Yumei, Linger, Xiaowei and the others. Each of them has reasons to be with you. If I stop you, you will definitely be unhappy. If you are unhappy, how can I be happy if I follow you?"
