Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1063: The Approaching Enemy (10)

Zhong Qiaohui helped Gu Nuan and glanced out from the window first.

She saw that Chairman Zhan’s friend was tall and handsome, carrying a briefcase, wearing sunglasses, with wavy hair and a checkered suit, looking very fashionable.

The guest walked into this villa of the Ruan Family, which was said to have some age and history and had been renovated several times. Chairman Zhan’s eyes indeed seemed to light up.

To be fair, this was his first time here.

"Nice house," he said.

Gu Nuan walked down from the stairs.

Chairman Zhan stepped forward, stood opposite her, and introduced, "This is Thoms, originally from Fujian, China. His family now has extensive businesses in Indonesia. As for himself, after studying abroad in Europe, he returned to start a design company here."

An architect?

Gu Nuan shot a glance at the man with wavy hair.

"His Chinese name is Qia Ran."

"Hello, Mr. Qia."

Qia Ran lifted his sunglasses a bit: "Nice to meet you, Chairman Gu."

The group took their seats.

Zhong Qiaohui stood beside Gu Nuan, looking at the two men sitting across from her.

Chairman Zhan crossed his legs leisurely and sipped the mousse milk tea made by a famous chef.

Qia Ran was drinking coffee.

Gu Nuan only drank lemon water.

After tasting the refreshments, Chairman Zhan said, "On the phone, my people have already talked with Ms. Gu’s people."

"Yes, I heard Chairman Zhan has a great plan to recommend to me," Gu Nuan replied.

"The plan I mentioned is exactly what Mr. Qia has brought." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Qia Ran put down the coffee cup in his hand. Chairman Zhan’s secretary promptly responded by handing over the necessary documents.

Gu Nuan received the documents handed over, flipping them open to read.

Zhong Qiaohui glanced at it from the side and saw that it was a tender document for a piece of land.

"I think this piece of land is quite suitable," Chairman Zhan casually remarked.

Gu Nuan skimmed through the crucial text in the document: "Is this piece of land being re-auctioned by the court?"

Chairman Zhan gently raised his finger and said, "Yes, it’s a second-hand piece of land. But there’s no problem with it at all. There won’t be any issues because Mr. Qia was the contact for the land’s previous contractor and was employed as the designer, so he’s very aware of the situation."

Qia Ran added, "This land has been around for a long time. The original company mainly went bankrupt during the financial crisis in 2008, and it never recovered, unable to continue construction. The person in charge ran away, leaving behind a huge debt. The court, upon the city government’s commission, brought it out for re-auction. The court is in charge, and the city government endorses it, so there’s no problem with the change of land ownership."

After discussing the land rights issue, Gu Nuan looked at Chairman Zhan and asked, "What do you think is good about this piece of land, Chairman Zhan? I don’t see any specific information in the document here."

Chairman Zhan gave a subtle, seemingly mysterious smile: "I believe Ms. Gu will definitely like this piece of land."

Zhong Qiaohui frowned, finding his words ambiguous and cryptic.

Gu Nuan had someone keep Qia Ran’s contact information.

Then, busy Chairman Zhan left the Ruan Family villa.

Zhong Qiaohui began to bustle around, investigating the mysterious aspects of the piece of land Chairman Zhan mentioned.

Gu Nuan sat behind the desk, appearing somewhat tired, massaging her temples and resting with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, they heard Zhong Qiaohui exclaim while browsing online information.

Gu Nuan opened her eyes.

Zhong Qiaohui mumbled, seemingly in a complaining tone, "You knew it all along, didn’t you? You saw it at a glance, didn’t you? This is your hometown’s land!"

Chairman Zhan said he was sure Gu Nuan would like it, probably because he had investigated her background, including her hometown, and the piece of land her husband bought from Qiu Sangui, establishing a permanent memorial there as a symbol of their love.

Gu Nuan’s lips curled upwards.

Even Zhong Qiaohui felt the depth of it.

Gu Nuan, as if talking to herself, said: "It’s a matter of time."

Sooner or later, someone would lay hands on that piece of land.

Long before her husband discovered that land, there had been a bomb hidden there. She had already told Qiu Sangui that the neighboring government was putting a lot of effort into developing this region.

The neighbors were making a big splash; how could the local government here fall behind? Therefore, taking the opportunity of their efforts, they applied to develop a new district and requested support from higher authorities.

The reason this local government hadn’t taken action sooner was simple: the land had issues, like the piece brought by Qia Ran.

Abandoned developments brought more trouble than people imagined. Without approval from above, who would dare make a move? After all, the previous transactions on these lands involved some dealings, which definitely implicated related individuals. Someone had to nod in approval before daring to act on this piece of cake.

Now, the piece of land Chairman Zhan pointed out for development would be extremely important, especially for Gu Nuan. If anyone else got a hold of it, it would inevitably involve Qiu Sangui’s village and that mountain land, based on expanding surrounding developments.

Qiu Sangui’s village had long been waiting to strike it rich by selling land; why wouldn’t they sell?

As long as the price is right!
