“I’m sorry. I didn’t notice the time,” Wang Yunzhong quickly apologized.
Jiang Chunfen exhaled softly and said gently, “It’s fine. Tell me what’s wrong. Is something wrong with Zichen?”
Jiang Chunfen was still so gentle. Wang Yunzhong held the phone and was in a daze for a moment. It was like in the past… when he called Jiang Chunfen to tell her he wouldn’t be home at night, she had this tone.
“Yunzhong?” Jiang Chunfen called out again when she couldn’t hear Wang Yunzhong.
Only then did Wang Yunzhong come back to his senses. He quickly said, “No, no. It’s not about Zichen. It’s like this, Chunfen. I was too busy a while ago and didn’t go to see Zimeng. I miss her.”
It was not that something happened to Zichen. Jiang Chunfen couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, she said, “If you miss her, go see her. I didn’t stop you from seeing the children.”
“Yes, yes,” Wang Yunzhong quickly answered. “Then, can I go to your place tomorrow?”
Jiang Chunfen thought for a moment. If Wang Yunzhong came to see Zimeng tomorrow, she could take time to have dinner with Qiao Yuan.
“Alright, but you have to pick Zimeng up after school. Then, remember to take her to dinner,” Jiang Chunfen said.
Wang Yunzhong didn’t think too much about it. He thought that Jiang Chunfen had deliberately let him and his daughter be alone for a while, so he agreed readily.
The next day, Jian Ai slept for a while before getting up. Then, she walked into school at the same time as usual.
Outside the school gate, Jian Changsheng’s car was still parked by the road. He watched Jian Ai walk into the school before slowly leaving.
At the Jian Group.
Jian Changsheng walked into the office, and the secretary sent him a cup of hot black coffee.
Jian Changsheng sat on the sofa and read the business newspaper as usual while drinking coffee.
Someone knocked on the door. Jian Changsheng looked up. “Please come in.”
Wang Yang pushed the door open and entered.
“Secretary Wang?”
Jian Changsheng put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up. Because Secretary Wang was a senior member of the company and belonged to the upper echelons, he would usually tell Jian Changsheng’s secretary if anything happened. The secretary would then pass the message on. It was rare for him to come to look for him.
Wang Yang smiled and nodded at Jian Changsheng. “CEO.”
“What’s wrong? Why did you come here?” Jian Changsheng was very respectful to Wang Yang.
The two of them sat down on the sofa. Wang Yang smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just heard some news. Coincidentally, the company was in a mess a while ago, and I didn’t have time to visit you, so I came over.”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Jian Changsheng smiled and looked at Wang Yang. “You said you heard some news. What is it?”
Wang Yang paused for a moment before saying, “East Sea Real Estate previously released news that their hotel project would use full colored steel glass. The CEO knows about this, right?”
Jian Changsheng pursed his lips and nodded. “I heard.”
Seeing this, Wang Yang continued, “I heard that this batch of glass has already been transported from Qiusi to Baiyun City. It’s in the warehouse in the western suburbs.”
“Oh?” Jian Changsheng was stunned. “The entire hotel will be using colored steel glass? According to the market price, this costs billions of yuan!”
Wang Yang said, “I heard that the first batch of glass was stored in eight large warehouses. There should be more in the future.”
Jian Changsheng frowned and couldn’t figure it out.
At first, he thought this news was fake because colored steel glass was too expensive. Even the Jian Group’s project could not afford it, let alone an entire building.
The cost of glass alone was billions of yuan. How could this hotel be profitable?
Or did the other party get a discount? Ten percent? Twenty percent?
It was still very expensive.
