Chapter 127: First, Eliminate a Correct Answer

In a private room of a café, Jiang Xu met Zhang Xiaohui.

He was lucky.

Zhang Xiaohui happened to be in town those days to handle some matters.

Otherwise, Jiang Xu would have had to wait for some time before meeting her.

In fact, Jiang Xu did not particularly like the environment of a café.

He preferred teahouses.

However, young people these days consider hanging out in a café fashionable.

Just like in a decade or so, one would order a coffee costing dozens, even hundreds, and then sit in the café all day, taking all sorts of photos.

On this day, Zhang Xiaohui was wearing a cheongsam dress that accentuated her figure.

She gave Jiang Xu a cold look, "You asked me out.

Don't tell me you have found a way to resolve the issue with that unfinished building."

Although Zhang Xiaohui found Jiang Xu more mature and capable than many of his peers,

She didn't believe that at his age, he could solve this problem.

Instead, she assumed that Jiang Xu had asked her out to plead with her

Or to rely on An Feng to play the emotional card.

Jiang Xu didn't mind her attitude.

He just asked a question, "You told me last time you would give me one million if I helped you solve the problem with that unfinished building. Does that still stand?"

Zhang Xiaohui raised her eyebrows, "Of course."

"Good," Jiang nodded, "Your unfinished building is worth twenty million.

Which means, if I bought it, it would be nineteen million, right?"

Zhang Xiaohui nodded.

Jiang Xu stood up, "Let's go, we'll complete the transaction at the notary office."

"Hmm?" Zhang Xiaohui furrowed her brows, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Xu, "I'm buying your unfinished building for nineteen million."

Zhang Xiaohui didn't speak and instead gave him a scrutinizing look.

She had already conducted a thorough investigation on Jiang Xu.

His family was somewhat wealthier than the average family.

But their assets definitely did not exceed ten million.

Even though Jiang Xu did make some money from writing, there was no way it reached the level of millions.

However, she didn't scoff at him.

She elegantly finished the half cup of coffee left, picked up her bag and followed Jiang Xu to the notary office.

She had to see for herself what kind of game this cunning young man was playing.

Anyway, she absolutely did not believe that Jiang Xu would be able to cough up such a large sum of money, almost twenty million.

Upon reaching the notary office,

After explaining the purpose of their visit, the staff began the related procedures.

First was the confirmation of the object of the transaction.

Then, it was to confirm the accuracy of the traded money and assets.

After taking care of all these, over an hour had passed.

A staff member came over to the two.

Nodded and said, "There are no issues with the confirmations. The transaction can begin now."

At this point, a surprised look came over Zhang Xiaohui's face, "How did you really manage to get so much money?"

Jiang Xu casually replied, "You don't need to worry about that. Did you bring everything like the contract, property ownership certificate, and stuff?"

Zhang Xiaohui had to reassess Jiang Xu.

This young man was more capable and mysterious than she had initially thought.

Her eyes started glistening.

Jiang Xu, being so smart,

Wouldn't be willing to spend such a large sum of money to buy an unfinished building,

There must be some inside story that she didn't know about.

Could it be that there were going to be new regulations in that area soon,

Which would cause the property prices to skyrocket?

She had to admit, Zhang Xiaohui was intelligent, she instantly figured out the key aspect of the matter.

Looking at Zhang Xiaohui's expression, Jiang Xu knew what she was thinking.

He replied in annoyance, "It's not as complicated as you think.

This money is pretty much to buy my safety. If you don't want to do the deal, then forget it."

No matter how shrewd Zhang Xiaohui was, she wasn't a reincarnator.

She simply couldn't predict that the property prices in that area would surge in a short time.

Zhang Xiaohui thought about it and agreed.

For real insider information, it is impossible to hide it from someone with her connections and abilities.

Unless Jiang Xu could foresee the future, but how could that be possible?

Oh, first things first, eliminate a correct answer.

Zhang Xiaohui then nodded her head, "Ok, wait for a bit. I'll get someone to bring over the required documents."

After saying this, she made a call to one of her subordinates.

Jiang Xu was sitting on a chair leisurely waiting, not showing any agitation.

If he looked anxious, it was bound to raise suspicions in this woman.

After making the phone call,

Zhang Xiaohui started giving Jiang Xu a hard, continuous look,

Trying to glean any information from his face.

But ultimately, she was disappointed as she couldn't gauge anything.

After waiting for around twenty minutes,

The subordinate Zhang Xiaohui had summoned arrived with all the necessary documents.

After the staff inspected the documents and found no issues, they indicated that the transaction could begin.

Before signing the contract, Zhang Xiaohui asked one more time, "What do you plan on doing after getting the building?"

This was her last probe.

Jiang Xu saw right through it.

If Jiang Xu were to say that he would leave the building as is upon purchase, Zhang Xiaohui would most likely instantly terminate the transaction.

Since Jiang Xu was not a rich man's son,

No matter how he managed to obtain the nineteen million, it must have been a great burden to him,

If after buying it, he left it untouched,

Then there could only be one possibility.

Jiang Xu had obtained some inside information,

That a new regulation was about to be introduced for the land there.

If this were the case, Zhang Xiaohui would definitely not sell.

Upon thinking of this, Jiang casually said, "I have a friend who runs a renovation business.

If I bought the building, while steadily earning money from my writing, I would slowly get all the water, electricity and gas connections set up.

Who knows, maybe after a few years, if they decide to renovate the area or connect it with high speed rail, I might strike it rich."

Zhang Xiaohui sneered mentally,

Thinking that was impossible.

She had already checked the area.

At least for the next ten years, there wouldn't be such considerations.

Upon hearing Jiang Xu's words, Zhang Xiaohui confidently signed the contract.

Jiang Xu transferred the money to the account Zhang Xiaohui designated.

The transaction was completed.

The unfinished building now belonged to Jiang Xu.

After putting away the various certificates, Jiang Xu looked at the woman before him.

"Our debts and grudges are settled.

I hope you don't target An Nuonuo again.

After all, it's disgraceful for an adult to plot against a child, don't you think?"

Zhang Xiaohui smiled, "You are very capable, here's my card."

She took out a business card from her purse and handed it to Jiang Xu.

Laughing, she said, "This time, I was indeed slapped in the face by you.

Don't worry, this kind of thing won't happen in the future."

Zhang Xiaohui still had a sense of pride.

Jiang Xu nodded and accepted the card, not showing any intention to continue the conversation.

However, Zhang Xiaohui suggested, "You are quite talented. After graduating, you can consider coming to work at my company.

I can't promise much, but a managerial position is definitely no problem."

Jiang Xu, "Thanks, but I will never work for others in this lifetime.

I can only rely on my future girlfriend's family for a meager survival."

Zhang Xiaohui was taken aback, perhaps she never expected Jiang Xu to say such a thing,

But she didn't mind it.

She waved her hand and walked out with her long legs.

After walking a few steps, she stopped again,

Turned around and said something to Jiang Xu.
