Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Mo Li returned and handed the contract to Ye Qingqing, who looked at it and nodded in satisfaction.

"If it's really as Song Yun brother said, even if we do nothing with this land, its value could increase manyfold. Even without developing it, flipping it could be an excellent choice."

Ye family.

An energetic middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa, reading the financial newspaper.

He paused from time to time to jot down some useful information for himself.

For Father Ye, learning was the only shortcut to success. Without it, one would be left behind by the times. Throughout history, many people became arrogant after reaching a certain level and were eventually cast aside by the sweeping waves of the era, ending up lost between life and death.

As Father Ye was engrossed in the newspaper, a man in a suit approached and whispered a few words in his ear.

Father Ye set the newspaper down, lit a cigarette, took a deep inhale, and after a long pause, spoke slowly, "Qing Qing bought a piece of useless land?"

"Yes, Mo Li has completed the transaction for a total cost of 140 million."

"Hmm, bought is bought," said Father Ye nonchalantly, as if Ye Qingqing had spent 140 million on land, not a mere 14 yuan on a small toy.

"Master, do we need to support her from behind..."

"No need. Since she's in business, she must accept the losses. Even if the land ends up on our hands, we could still reacquire it through other channels. After all, land is always useful."

After the man left, Father Ye crushed out his cigarette and a smile slowly appeared on his face: "It's good that she lost money, good indeed! It saves us from people wagging their tongues, saying that the Ye family is like a gluttonous beast, only taking in and never giving out, making me constantly fear being slaughtered.

Now my daughter has done a good deed, buying a piece of unwanted land—now you all will have no reason to criticise, right?"

Father Ye was very open-minded about his daughter losing money. In this lifetime, what was the use of accumulating more money anyway? Even if Ye Qingqing lost more than a billion, 10 billion, or 100 billion, Father Ye wouldn't bat an eye.

Besides, if his daughter lost money, what would she do if she ran out? She'd have to come back home to him, right? It could buy a good reputation and improve family relations—it was a win-win!

But if Father Ye knew that his daughter hadn't informed him and had directly registered for marriage with Song Yun, it was anyone's guess what his expression would have been.

Elsewhere, in the highest-level club in Magic Capital.

A group of more than ten men were seated around a sofa, resembling a round-table conference.

The news about Ye Qingqing spending money on land had already spread throughout the real estate circle, and countless people were waiting to see her become the laughingstock.

After all, if so many real estate tycoons didn't fancy the land, how could a young girl fresh out of the gate turn the tables!

At the conference table, an old man raised his wine glass, signaling everyone to laugh and said, "Zhou Chen, with Ye Qingqing out of the fray, it seems this hottest piece of land is destined to fall into your hands."

This old man was the owner of the club and the most senior person present. His stepping forward also signified taking a stand, signaling everyone to be satisfied with their share. The land was bound to be Zhou Chen's.

Zhou Chen clinked glasses with the old man, a smile appearing on his face: "Mr. Wu, you flatter me too much. Everyone is vying for this piece of land, and it all comes down to who has more capital. However, the Zhou Family has prepared 800 million for this bid, and I wonder what price everyone else intends to drive it up to?"

A blatant threat that sent a chill down the spine of everyone present who had their hearts set on that land.

At this point, the price of the land had already approached 500 million. If he continued to raise the bid, and that sneaky Zhou Chen walked away in the end, he would be the one left unlucky.

Moreover, they've already made it clear to you, saying, "I'm ready to take this land for 800 million. If you can keep up, do so; if not, scram."

This caused some folks with tight capital to consider stepping back.

"Ha-ha, let's not talk about this at the gathering today. Speaking of Ye Qingqing, she hasn't inherited a bit of her old man's business genes. She's really not cut out for the trading business.

But yeah, after all, she's just a little girl, and maybe the development of Mo Jing Group over these years has been guided by that old guy behind the scenes," Old Wu soothed everyone and shifted the topic back to Ye Qingqing.

"From what I see, Ye Qingqing is nothing more than a vase, just running a company for the sake of gold plating, to find a good household to marry into later on!"

"Right! This time she spent 1.4 billion on a useless piece of land, the very model of squandering. This way, my daughter's daily bag shopping doesn't seem like much at all, ha-ha-ha."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, looking down on this emerging junior. If Ye Qingqing didn't have a powerful father, they would have devoured her to the point where nothing was left.

"Heh, but Ye Qingqing does have some self-awareness, at least. She didn't continue to borrow money to snap up this popular piece of land because once she starts borrowing, her company's stock price will surely plummet after it goes public!" Zhou Chen said lightly after sipping some red wine.

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively agreed, but soon realized that Ye Qingqing had avoided one pitfall only to fall into another.

It seems there's a lot of hot air to Ye Qingqing's reputation!

Meanwhile, Song Yun and Ye Qingqing finished handling their affairs, and Ye Qingqing felt a weight lift from her heart. She then insisted that Song Yun take her somewhere nice to eat.

Song Yun, left with no choice, took her directly to a "fly restaurant" they used to frequent during their university days.

This restaurant was near the university town; though slightly unclean, it excelled in being cheap and tasty.

Rumor had it that the owner was once a head chef in a five-star Chinese restaurant but encountered emotional setbacks. He fled all the way to Magic Capital and opened the restaurant for a living.

Song Yun and Ye Qingqing found a seat and ordered a few dishes.

Ye Qingqing didn't understand why Song Yun brought her here, but he explained that he had given all his money to her and could only afford to fill his stomach with home-cooked dishes.

Of course, Ye Qingqing knew Song Yun was joking. She had never been to such a place and felt no aversion when visiting for the first time; on the contrary, she was full of curiosity, looking around here and there.

The dishes were served quickly, and Ye Qingqing took a bite, her eyes widening, "This is so delicious! If you package a dish like this, it would sell for hundreds each!"

"You little miser, not even eating will shut you up."

Just as the two were about to finish eating, a face intruded between them.

"Brother Song! It really is you!" Ye Zi said excitedly.

Upon seeing him, Song Yun was also surprised, "How come you're here too?"

"Stop it, isn't the rent cheaper near University Town? I rented a place here, and I come here to grab a bite after work before heading back," Ye Zi sat down beside Song Yun and noticed Ye Qingqing.

His mouth agape, his finger incessantly pointing back and forth between Song Yun and Ye Qingqing.

"This must be Sister-in-law, right? Even more beautiful than in the photos!"
