Chapter 143 Old Acquaintance

With Su Yehao around, Jiang Yu felt embarrassed to get an aromatherapy oil spa, as some of the services required disrobing.

After their massage, Su Yehao had over a dozen cupping marks on his back, dark purple, looking a bit comical.

They weren't in a rush to leave.

Led by a server to the lounge, they could see a large green lawn through the floor-to-ceiling windows. They each ordered an afternoon tea set and sat down to relax.

Su Yehao crossed his legs, enjoying the leisurely winter afternoon.

Looking around, he said with amusement, "We can come here often in the future. Not many customers, good privacy, and most importantly, the servers are pretty, all over 1.7 meters tall, with long legs. They could all be models."

"You're such a flirt, I'm going to tell Nangong when I get back!"

"How old are you, still tattling? I'm just making a few compliments, I haven't taken any action. Who knows if someone else has already set their sights on them before me? It's not easy being a playboy, making a move rashly can easily offend people."

Hearing that, Jiang Yu thought there was some truth to it.

Then she heard Su Yehao change the subject, adding, "It's different with small fries like you, who I know inside and out, there's no burden. As long as you dare to tattle, I'll say you came on to me first. Anyway, I'm thick-skinned, Nangong also knows about our old flame, a rekindling or something, it's very possible."

"Bah, bah, bah, who has an old flame with you, much less a rekindling!" Jiang Yu's face flushed slightly, sounding unconfident.

It could only be said that everyone has their weakness.

Although Jiang Yu was usually quite "fierce," she had always been completely subdued by Su Yehao, and she could only get her satisfaction verbally.

Afternoon tea was quickly served. The black tea with milk wasn't too sweet, paired with delicate desserts, with the only problem being the expensive price.

The two chatted idly.

Just then, a sexy woman in a silver dress and high heels suddenly appeared in Su Yehao's sight.

She looked to be in her thirties, with slightly curled brown hair draped over her shoulders. She stopped in front of them and asked, "Young master, are you from the Su Sihai family? I'm Pei Xinyao, I know Sister Tang, we often meet at LrC."

Su Yehao didn't answer directly, asking in confusion, "LrC?"

"Outsiders now call it the Mid-Levels Women's Club, 10 Old Peak Road... Oh, right, you grew up in Casino, no wonder you haven't heard of it."

Pei Xinyao was familiar, pulled up a chair and sat down, offering Su Yehao a thin cigar.

Su Yehao took it, while Jiang Yu shook her head repeatedly.

"Sister Pei... are you also here to relax today?"

Su Yehao, who had forgotten many things, was most afraid of meeting old acquaintances. He wasn't even sure if he had met her before, but it seemed like they weren't very close.

Pei Xinyao said,

"I'm meeting someone to discuss business. I bought a piece of land nearby last year, and the rising price is about to fall. There's a Singaporean company interested, and if the price is right, I'll sell it. Oh, by the way, that red-roofed house to the left of your house is mine, but it's a pity you don't usually live on Big Wave Bay Road, so the house isn't lit up at night."

Su Yehao hadn't figured out this woman's background yet, not knowing if she was a wealthy family's wife or a rich daughter.

Anyway, being able to live on Big Wave Bay Road meant that her family was usually well-off, but it was also possible that she was renting.

He smiled and continued the topic, saying,

"I'm studying at Hong Kong University, so I usually live in Sheung Wan, which is a bit more convenient. I really don't know who lives nearby. Now I know, we can visit each other in the future."

Jiang Yu held back from speaking.

She didn't like this woman surnamed Pei, possibly because the other woman was sexier and more elegant than her, like attracts like, and dislike attracts dislike.

Although she didn't like her, her upbringing since childhood still made Jiang Yu maintain a smile. No hostility could be seen on her face.

In reality, she was only nineteen, while the other woman was already over thirty, so there was really nothing to compare. Jiang Yu's youth and beauty were also a kind of temperament.

In a few words, Pei Xinyao managed to get closer to Su Yehao, and then she went straight to the point, stating her purpose, "There are no high-rise communities on Big Wave Bay Road. The land I have can build seven independent villas, with courtyards over six thousand feet. Remember to ask your dad for me, if he's interested, contact me at any time. It's very suitable for your family's business."

Su Yehao took the business card, but said perfunctorily,

"Land prices keep falling, and he's busy with other projects. I'll tell him when I see my dad next time, but I don't think we can cooperate. The seven plots of land on Big Wave Bay Road probably don't need to worry about finding buyers, just wait a little longer, and you'll always find one."

Buyers could indeed be found, but it wouldn't be easy to sell at a suitable price.

Seeing that even a young man like Su Yehao wasn't optimistic about the land in her hands, Pei Xinyao sighed silently, feeling that the future looked bleak.

When land prices were rising, everyone chose to hold on, pushing the prices higher and higher. But in the past few months, the wind had suddenly changed, and when it came to acquiring land, everyone shook their heads.

It was clearly a popular high-end, scarce piece of land, but it cooled down as soon as it cooled down. Pei Xinyao was regretting it, annoyed that she hadn't sold it in time, so now she could only watch the land price fall all the way.

Just then,

Another middle-aged man walked over, introducing himself as Pei Xinyao's husband.

Su Yehao was more than ten years younger than the couple, but with his family's support, the couple was particularly polite to him.

After chatting for a few minutes, he quickly figured it out. He learned that both of the couple's families were in the real estate business in Singapore, and they were attracted to the Hong Kong market three years ago, choosing to focus their development on Hong Kong.

With six or seven hundred million Hong Kong dollars, they were relatively "small rich," about the same as Su Yehao's personal assets.

Facing these strangers who suddenly approached him, Su Yehao was always a little worried about being tricked, but since he didn't plan to spend any money and wasn't interested in the current Hong Kong land, he drank his milk tea and asked curiously,

"The land you invested in is near where we live on Big Wave Bay Road, right? What price are you planning to sell it for?"

Pei Xinyao's husband, with fair skin and a refined appearance, took off his glasses and wiped them, answering,

"We invested 280 million two years ago, and now we want to sell it for the same price. Including interest and depreciation, we're losing terribly. It would have been better if we hadn't done anything at the time and used the money to buy corporate bonds. Part of the money here was obtained through loans."

Su Yehao was simply listening for fun. He could come up with the money, but he never thought of foolishly jumping into a big pit at this juncture.

Without mentioning the words "want to buy," Su Yehao only said,

"You're indeed losing terribly. The stock market is rising so sharply. If you make a quick profit and run, the profit is very considerable. Such a large piece of land, you should ask the richest people in Hong Kong, spread the word that it's the best piece of golden land in Hong Kong, maybe someone will be interested."

Pei Xinyao smiled bitterly, "We've thought about it, but they don't lack houses. You're also one of the richest young masters, and you also have a house on Big Wave Bay Road."

Her husband hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked Su Yehao,

"If you're not interested here, what about the land in the mainland? Our company took a piece of office building land in Shanghai at the end of the year before last, spending a total of 220 million Hong Kong dollars. It's slightly increased in value now, and we can discuss a suitable price to sell it to your family..."
