Chapter 1581: Chapter 1582: The Girl with Three Failures 89
Old Master Jiang’s funeral was quite grand, with many important figures attending, including Young Master Ye’s uncle, but everyone knew this was the Jiang Family’s last moment of glory.
As soon as the funeral ended, the inheritance battle was about to erupt, yet no one expected it to be triggered by Jiang Lili’s parents filing for divorce. The key point was Mr. Jiang filing a lawsuit in court to divorce Jiang Mother and demanding that she leaves with nothing.
Of course, Jiang Mother was not to be underestimated; she had already prepared by hiring a famous divorce lawyer from City S and had conducted a thorough investigation into Mr. Jiang’s private life.
But this wasn’t the most important issue. The most critical point was that Jiang Mother applied to freeze Mr. Jiang’s assets on the grounds that he was attempting to transfer assets.
“I heard it was revealed at the mourning hall, and it was Jiang Lili who exposed it.” While the three of them were eating, Ye Zhuo shared the news he had received.
Mike had been wondering who leaked this information. Mr. Jiang was well hidden, so how did Jiang Lili get this news?
Ye Zhuo looked at Zhang Yu, who did not shy away, “I sent an anonymous message to Jiang Lili, after all, it’s her parents involved.”
“She couldn’t not know as her sister that such a thing happened.” Zhang Yu truly considered herself a good person, a really good person.
So it was Zhang Yu who informed, Mike gave a thumbs-up to Zhang Yu, “That’s how it should be.”
“You didn’t let Jiang Lili know it was you, right?” Mike was a bit worried, “The Jiang family is in chaos now, what if she finds out you leaked it?”
“There’s an anonymous phone card.” It’s nice, having anonymous phone cards now, “Otherwise, I’d have to figure out how to get a new QQ account.”
“There’s nothing more after this.” With Old Master Jiang gone, the Jiang Family is a complete mess now; Zhang Yu knew that at least the Jiang Family could be off her hands now.
“By the way, didn’t you go to Harbor City last time to check out an office? How was it?” A few days ago, Mike and the others went on a business trip to Shenzhen, and on the way, they stopped by Harbor City.
Last time they went to check out the office, it was a good choice, both in terms of rent and location.
If there was an issue, it was taking the lease back then, meaning it would remain vacant for six months; Ye Zhuo wanted to reconsider.
By the time they reconsidered, the property was gone, rented out to someone else.
Subsequent recommended properties weren’t very good, either due to the location or rental issues.
This time when they went on the business trip, someone recommended a property, and Ye Zhuo and the others went to take a look.
“Pretty good, near Central, with a view of Victoria Harbor,” Ye Zhuo knew Zhang Yu liked to look up at the scenery to relax.
Well, Zhang Yu knew the upcoming content was, the property is great, suitable as an office, but there’s a problem, “The rent’s expensive.”
Mike shook his head, “If it were just expensive rent, it’d be forgivable; the point is, the other party needs money and is selling.” He mentioned a sale price.
Hearing this price, Zhang Yu’s first reaction was, “Not too expensive.” Given the area and location, the potential for appreciation is great, not to mention it would easily rent out.
Unfortunately, for the three of them, this is no small amount of money. Zhang Yu believed Ye Zhuo had the money, Mike also had the money, and even Zhang Yu, with a bit of maneuvering, could buy it.
The problem is, once purchased, there would be no funds left for the investment company.
“I’ll have my friend continue to look for me.” Ye Zhuo wasn’t interested in having Zhang Yu buy it, knowing she planned to buy a house in City S, and still plans to buy after moving to Harbor City.
“By the way, all of Jiang Lili’s family assets have been frozen, including that shop they were planning to sell.” Ye Zhuo remembered Zhang Yu was planning to buy that shop and had already prepared the money.
Knowing Jiang Mother had frozen Mr. Jiang’s assets was disappointing, as the money was ready to slap Jiang Lili in the face, but now the shop wasn’t going to be sold. Saying it’s not disappointing would be a lie.
“There’s no way around it, who could have expected Jiang Mother would think of this trick.” Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, “Being good for once, who would have thought, in the end, I’m the one who’s hurt.”
The deed is done, no matter how much regret, there’s no way to reverse it, “I plan to look at surrounding shops.”
Ye Zhuo nonchalantly said, “Someone I know is selling a shop, not far from here.”
Hearing this location, Zhang Yu had no issue, “Great, when’s convenient for me to check it out.”
Mike’s eating motion paused slightly, then continued to eat voraciously.
“I’ll arrange a meeting with them.” He quickly contacted the person on his phone and set the meeting time.
“Thank you.” Zhang Yu knew these prime shops never needed to enter the market; they were snapped up internally. If she hadn’t known Ye Zhuo, such an opportunity would never have come her way.
“No need to thank me, it’s a small thing.” Ye Zhuo said while glaring at Mike.
Fine, that’s his cue to shut up, so he zipped his lips, not his affair to hurry if the person involved was in no rush.
That being said, after Zhang Yu left, Mike approached Ye Zhuo, “When did you fancy her?”
Zhang Yu was a good person, something Mike always knew. He really wasn’t surprised Ye Zhuo would fancy Zhang Yu.
Just wasn’t sure if Ye Zhuo would make a move; Mike was quite curious, “Will you pursue her?”
Mike also knew this time Young Master Ye’s uncle didn’t just come for Old Master Jiang’s funeral; he was arranging a matchmaking session for Ye Zhuo.
Pursue? Ye Zhuo laughed, “I won’t.”
After a pause, “Neither will I agree.”
Mike understood; Ye Zhuo wouldn’t pursue Zhang Yu, and she wouldn’t accept even if he did, “But you’re Ye Zhuo, Young Master Ye!”
In her heart, if Ye Zhuo gave even the slightest indication, the other party couldn’t possibly refuse.
“Marriage isn’t in her plans.”
Ye Zhuo thought for a moment, “I think being simple partners is preferable, I think that’s how she sees it too.”
Fine, Mike genuinely didn’t understand what they were thinking, but if they didn’t see a problem, then he didn’t either.
“Thinking about it, it’s really good this way, otherwise, if conflict arises, it won’t just be personal matters.” Mike had seen couples in entrepreneurship fall out.
After breaking up, few couples manage to remain on good terms.
Ye Zhuo nodded, “Yeah, so I think this is pretty good.”
“By the way, is the data analysis done?” This time visiting the properties, Ye Zhuo was greatly stimulated, knowing the property prices in Harbor City were high but shocked they were that high.
This motivated him to work even harder to make money, not to mention Mike, “A villa on the mid-levels was shockingly expensive.”
“I’ve made up my mind, I want to buy land on the hilltop and build a villa there.” He may not have been born with these conditions, but he could provide for himself.
Regarding his friend’s addition to the shopping list, Ye Zhuo wasn’t surprised, “Then you’d better work hard; I’d estimate you need at least five billion.”
Ah, would it really cost that much? Mike was stunned by Ye Zhuo’s words, but after further thought, “Alright, it probably would.”
