Chapter 272 You can win, you can lose
"Hey, let me ask you, what are your next plans?" Meng Jingran asked Wen Lan.
"I have no plans." Wen Lan paused. She didn't want to tell her about her pregnancy for the time being. "I won't go back to IELTS, nor will I go to Southeast Asia again. Kegli has nothing to do with me anymore. I feel relieved all of a sudden!"
"Kai what?" Meng Jingran reacted strongly.
"Kaigeli, a resort hotel. It's about the same size as the Yas Resort. But they haven't developed the market in the country."
"Kegli? Isn't she developing in China? Why does this name sound so familiar to me!" Meng Jingran pondered.
"They used to have a project on Rose Island, but later sold the hotel. The owner returned to Southeast Asia."
Wen Lan explained simply, but Meng Jingran got goose bumps all over his body.
"I don't want to chat with you anymore. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep first." After Wen Lan became pregnant, the early pregnancy symptoms came very early, just like when she was pregnant with Wen Nuan.
Nan Yunshang also called his brother in the hotel room.
"Bu Yufan, your mother woke up two days ago and can sit up now."
He thought his brother knew nothing.
In fact, even if Bu Yufan did not go to the county town, the hospital leaders would leave him a message on WeChat every few days to talk about the progress of his condition.
"Meng Jingran and I came together this time. We plan to stay for three days to let Wen Lan relax. I'll take a day off on Monday."
"I understand." Bu Yufan didn't say much.
"Hey, Wen Lan, she seems to have a little, how should I put it, a special feeling. Very peaceful."
"Really?" He pretended to be indifferent, but in his heart he hoped that Nan Yunshang could say more.
"That kind of, particularly gentle look."
Nan Yunshang didn't know that Wen Lan was pregnant. When Bu Yufan heard him use the words "peace" and "gentle", he roughly understood what he was talking about. It was probably the change in Wen Lan's temperament after she became pregnant.
Although she is the mother of a seven-year-old child, when she is spoiled by him, she is free to be herself: light, playful, smart, and occasionally a little willful.
"Hang up if you have nothing else to do." He was about to hang up.
"You don't care about her at all? Why are you so weird? Just because she concealed the fact that she knew your mother a long time ago? Bu Yufan, I tell you, you will regret it."
Click, Bu Yufan hung up the phone.
Nan Yunshang cursed and grumbled again, secretly blaming Bu Yufan.
In Southeast Asia.
Xie Peng threw the ornaments on his desk to the ground.
"According to the news from IELTS, the total investment amount is over 22 billion! In other words, 10 billion must be put up in the first phase? Help me find a bank!"
"Mr. Xie, why don't you reconsider it? We may not necessarily take over this dock project." The investment consultant advised him not to be impulsive.
"This is not just a pier, and what I want to fight for is not just the cruise show. The reason why Yas Resort acquired this piece of land is because of the best sunset viewing platform on this coastline. Once the pier is built, this viewing platform will be finished, and I will block it tightly. When the time comes, Yas will be finished with internal and external attacks."
"Mr. Xie, but if that's the case, we'll have to mortgage Kegley to the bank."
"This is normal. It's just to temporarily ease the pressure on cash flow. Peter, you go and do it. I am determined to win the dock project!"
"But Mr. Xie, are there any uncertainties here?"
"No business is 100% certain. You've been with me for so long, and you don't even understand this?"
"Okay, Mr. Xie, I'll go make an appointment with the banker."
The leak of Yase's investment information was naturally a deliberate act by Bu Yufan. He released the information bit by bit and set up difficulties for his opponent. This is not only a high-intelligence game, but also a psychological warfare.
Bu Yufan had guessed Xie Peng's motives, which were definitely more than just a cruise ship male model show. He just had a pretext. What Xie Peng wanted to do was to take away that stretch of coastline. Building a pier was a good idea that turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
In the competition for this wharf project, Xie Peng will win or lose.
Winning or losing is Bu Yufan’s reward or punishment for him, and it is the ending that Bu Yufan has written for him.
If Xie Peng had not been so ruthless, hurting his family and threatening his lover, he would always leave him a way to survive, and would not kill him or let Kegley disappear into ashes.
The drawing made by Liu Zhaonian, the one that concealed a serious error, was highly confidential to IELTS and was also Bu Yufan's last killer move against Xie Peng.
The ten-day deadline was soon to come, and Bu Yufan asked his secretary to book a charter flight to Southeast Asia. This time, he would bring his confidants with him to give Xie Peng enough face.
The day before flying to Southeast Asia, he drove six hours alone to visit Wen Lan.
It was noon when Bu Yufan arrived. According to the schedule brought back by Nan Yunshang, Wen Lan would return to the hotel for a two-hour lunch break every day at noon.
But she was not staying in the hotel.
Bu Yufan parked the car on the side of the road and waited for her silently. This wait lasted for an hour.
It was a little after 1 p.m. when he saw her appear at the hotel entrance.
"I have something to talk to you about." He pushed open the car door with a big push on purpose to catch her attention.
Wen Lan looked at him who suddenly appeared, with a moment of trance in her eyes.
She had been thinking about him all the way back. It was not appropriate to say that, because when she was alone, his appearance, his voice, and their past always came to her mind automatically.
"Wen Lan?" He noticed that she was in a trance and reminded her gently, his tone so gentle.
"Hmm? Oh..." She came back to her senses.
"Have you eaten yet? I've been waiting for you for a long time. I left early in the morning and drove here."
"Not yet, I just came back from the train station. My parents took Nuannuan..." She paused and took a breath.
"I mean, my family came to visit your mother yesterday." Wen Lan changed the address. She remembered that he once said that she should not mention "your parents" and "your daughter" in front of him in the future.
He naturally understood the hidden meaning of her words.
"They, just went back?" His heart ached.
"Yes, I'm going back. I have classes tomorrow." Wen Lan never mentioned Wen Nuan's name, and deliberately did not say the word "child".
"Since you haven't eaten yet, and I haven't eaten yet, why don't we..."
"No, I want to rest and sleep. I'll go upstairs." Wen Lan refused him.
"Wait!" He stopped her. "It's just a meal. I made it from home and brought it here. You see, I only slept for three or four hours last night. Let's have a meal together, okay?"
He said it sincerely, almost pleadingly.
