Tianyi grabbed the swivel chair he was sitting on and said seriously, "You don't need to send me your video immediately. Wait until we've both drafted the contract and signed it under the witness of a lawyer. Then you send me the video, along with the phone you recorded Mr. Xiao on, and the USB drive you mentioned. Once confirmed, I'll sign right away, and that piece of land will be yours for two hundred million."
Xie Qining looked at him, still hesitant. How could he give his leverage to him?
Tianyi released his chair, not giving him any more time to hesitate. He said, "Let's go. It's just some videos and photos. Let him post them online. It's fine if it's public. At most, it'll be a temporary trending topic that will eventually die down. You and Lan Yu just need to be strong and get through it..."
Xiao Anjing stood up, wishing he could leave before Tianyi.
"Wait." Xie Qining gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I record a video of myself, the land deal is settled at two hundred million?"
Before Xiao Anjing could speak, Tianyi quickly replied, "Yes."
"Alright, I'll do as you, President Qin, say."
Tianyi was already standing at his office door and said, "I'll notify you when I have the lawyer draft the contract."
"It's a deal."
Tianyi didn't linger, pulling the unwilling Xiao Anjing away from Xie Qining's company.
Tianyi gave him a meaningful look, signaling him not to cause any more trouble.
They had been through a lot together and had a certain understanding. An Jing held back and didn't go to confront Xie Qining.
When they got back into Xiao Anjing's car, An Jing couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Tianyi, Lan Yu and I will handle our own matters. You don't need to sacrifice the group's interests."
Tianyi didn't speak, just took out his phone.
The more Xiao Anjing thought about it, the more he felt it was wrong to make this deal with Xie Qining. "I'm the one who's supposed to be crazy now, why are you going crazy with me! You know how good the location of this land is, right? It's near the river. As long as you develop any project with the river view as a selling point, it will sell like hotcakes. Who cares about Xie Qining's naked video? With his physique, is it really that valuable..."
Tianyi calmly opened a message on his phone and placed it in front of An Jing to see for himself.
An Jing picked up Tianyi's phone and read the message. At first, he couldn't believe something like this could happen, but he quickly understood and a smile appeared on his face.
"You're really something. Xie Qining would never dream that the land he's forcefully buying is within the flood control planning zone. Aside from flood control projects, no commercial development is allowed there."
Tianyi nodded and said, "I just got this internal news about the municipal planning on my way to find you. I was worried that the development of this land would fail, and it would be a complete loss. I didn't expect Xie Qining to have his eye on this piece of land, so I'm happy to sell it to him."
"This deal is worthwhile, it's incredibly worthwhile." An Jing felt all his anger dissipate. Now he was afraid Xie Qining would go back on his word and asked, "Does anyone else know about this news yet, could it..."
"This plan was just finalized today. The person who gave me the information is absolutely reliable and won't leak it to anyone else. But we also need to hurry and draft the contract. It should be announced to the public not too long from now."
"That's good."
Tianyi thought of another issue and said, "Xie Qining doesn't understand real estate at all, and the Xie Corporation's business doesn't involve real estate, so his information will be even more delayed. And doesn't one thing strike you as strange? Why does he insist on buying our piece of land?"
"Why? Does he want to get into real estate too?" An Jing couldn't figure out the reason either.
Tianyi guessed, "The person who really wants this piece of land isn't him. He wants to acquire it at a low price and resell it. With a market value of four hundred million, he could easily earn one to two hundred million. Who wouldn't be tempted by such attractive profits?"
An Jing was confused again. "Who really wants our piece of land, and is also colluding with Xie Qining?"
"Then you need to think about who competed most fiercely with you when we bid for this land."
An Jing suddenly remembered and said, "I know. The person who really wants this piece of land is General Manager Zhao. When our company, Aoxiang, successfully bid, he was very unwilling to accept defeat. He even deliberately slandered us and the bidding institution in front of the media, claiming there was insider trading. Fortunately, no one paid attention to him. Everyone knows that his group's strength cannot be compared to Aoxiang's."
Tianyi sneered and said, "So as long as Xie Qining buys our land, whether it ends up with Xie Qining or that General Manager Zhao, we can just sit back and watch the show. And the matter concerning Lan Yu, which you were most worried about, will also be resolved."
An Jing hadn't expected that what he thought would be a difficult problem to solve would be so easily resolved by Tianyi. He was so happy he didn't know what to say.
Tianyi patted his shoulder and laughed, "Why are you still sitting in the car grinning like an idiot? Hurry up and find a lawyer to help us draft the contract."
"Right, right, we need to get this done quickly." With that, he immediately started the car. Today, they would have the lawyer draft the contract, and tomorrow they would notify Xie Qining to sign.
...
An Jing returned home in high spirits. As soon as he opened the door, Lan Yu rushed over and hugged him tightly.
He laughed happily and said, "What are you doing? Can you let me come inside first?"
Lan Yu had already heard from Susu that he had gone to find Xie Qining last night and hadn't returned all night.
"You went to find him for me, didn't you? Did he make things difficult for you? Did he hurt you?" Lan Yu said with a choked voice.
An Jing smiled and said, "Don't be like that. Something happened to me, but all the problems have been resolved now. Be good, wait for me to take a shower, and then I'll tell you everything properly."
Lan Yu hummed and finally let go of him. Seeing his haggard face, she noticed his mood was still good.
When she hugged him earlier, she could smell a strong perfume on him. She didn't know what he had gone through.
He changed his shoes, took off his coat, and was about to head to the bathroom.
Lan Yu suddenly saw lipstick marks on his shirt, and not just one. She tugged at his shirt and asked, "What are these? You went to see Xie Qining last night, how did your clothes get these messy things on them?"
An Jing didn't know how to tell her. If she knew what happened to him at the club last night, could she accept it?
"Don't ask about these things for now. Can you let me go take a shower and change my clothes first?"
"Alright, I'll get you a new set of clothes." Lan Yu turned and went to the bedroom.
An Jing was no longer happy about being able to deal with Xie Qining properly. He was only thinking about whether he had done anything to betray Lan Yu last night.
If it were in the past when he was single, it wouldn't matter. But now he had a wife, and he was a bit troubled about how to tell Lan Yu.
When he came out after his shower, he didn't see Lan Yu in the living room, but he smelled the aroma of food.
It was then that he felt his stomach rumbling. He walked towards the kitchen and saw Lan Yu busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron.
