Chapter 28: Possible Demolition
Everyone was delighted by the meal.
Compared to last time, He Liangcong had quietly elevated Xiao Yingchun's status, truly treating her as a partner, not just a pretty girl to flirt with.
Consequently, He Liangcong's words towards Xiao Yingchun were filled with more respect.
Dai Hengxin took the initiative to discuss the auction arrangements:
the first auction was scheduled for two weeks later, a venue had already been found, and he had hired a wedding planning company for the specific arrangements and reception staff, with Xiaomei responsible for follow-up.
"The auction company needs an auctioneer. I have contacted a top-notch auctioneer in the country, and she promised to make time to come over for a day."
"For security, I found a friend's security company. He is from the army, and the security personnel are all retired special forces soldiers. They are trustworthy..."
Dai Hengxin chattered on and on about the situation in the past few days. Xiao Yingchun felt a little guilty: "With so many things to do, won't it delay the business of your pawnshop?"
Dai Hengxin laughed: "What delay? I'm just making some phone calls. I don't have to do everything myself."
Speaking of this, Dai Hengxin seemed to remember something and explained.
"The company is doing auctions, so there must be someone to do daily chores. Xiaomei is a distant relative of mine and she is very careful, so I let her take charge of some of the daily trivial matters."
"Her salary will come from my dividends, and it will not increase the company's expenses."
Xiao Yingchun waved his hand when he heard it: "No need!"
Seeing Dai Hengxin stunned for a moment, Xiao Yingchun hurriedly explained: "Her salary will come from the company account."
"Although we are a small auction company, there will not be precious antiques worth tens of millions of auctions for the time being, but it should be no problem to support one person, right? It won't be something you have to bear personally."
When He Liangcong heard it, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, all expenses will be paid from the company account. If not, use my account."
"How much money does a little girl make in a month? It's not enough for me to open a bottle of wine..."
Dai Hengxin glared at He Liangcong, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I know you have money."
"In this way, her salary will be paid from the company account. The company will give her 4,000 a month, and the five insurances and one fund will be paid from Xinlong Pawnshop, so there will be no duplicate payment."
"Can you please stop annoying me with your extravagant spending?"
All three laughed.
The meal arrived, and today there was lobster fried rice, caviar with razor clams, and sea cucumber with scallions...
a table full of seafood!
He Liangcong was particularly enthusiastic: "Sister, try this! I asked the boss to prepare this. What do you think?"
Xiao Yingchun ate it and sighed: It's delicious, but this whole meal must have cost at least several thousand, right?!
Only a dandy like He Liangcong would treat himself to a meal and always have the best.
Dai Hengxin glanced at He Liangcong and said, "I'm treating you today. Don't try to compete with me."
He Liangcong looked at Dai Hengxin with a look of disapproval. "Old Dai, are you being too formal? This is a restaurant I'm a shareholder in. How can I expect you two to pay?"
Dai Hengxin replied bluntly, "Then I won't be eating here anymore."
Xiao Yingchun smiled and said, "I won't be coming either."
"Hey, hey, hey, can you two stop being so unanimous? You really are family?"
Dai Hengxin glanced at Xiao Yingchun, saying, "Don't talk nonsense," but his eyes were smiling.
Xiao Yingchun paused and said seriously, "This company belongs to the three of us. It's not okay to always ask you to pay. How about this?"
"From now on, if the three of us eat together, we can either use the company's bill or take turns paying."
"If you don't let me pay, when you call for dinner, we'll just go out for rice noodles or fast food."
At this, Dai Hengxin and He Liangcong were stunned.
The two men exchanged a glance.
Dai Hengxin took the initiative and said, "Then let's take turns. Last time it was Mr. He who treated us, this time I'll treat, and next time you treat, okay?"
This proposal sounded reasonable, and Xiao Yingchun agreed and ate happily.
After Xiao Yingchun said goodbye and left, He Liangcong said to Dai Hengxin with emotion, "Old Dai, I finally understand. This girl looks easy to talk to, but she is actually very opinionated." She
is not easy to seduce.
Dai Hengxin also nodded, "Yeah. She... is quite special."
He Liangcong patted Dai Hengxin on the shoulder and expressed deep sympathy, "Brother, if you want to pursue her, you have a long way to go..."
Dai Hengxin was stunned, "What do you mean?"
When it comes to pursuing girls, He Liangcong's experience is undoubtedly much richer than Dai Hengxin's.
He looked at Dai Hengxin seriously, "Don't look at her always smiling, don't you notice that she keeps a distance from you and me?"
Dai Hengxin thought: It's true.
However, "Isn't it normal for girls and boys who are not familiar with each other to keep a distance?"
He Liangcong waved his hand disdainfully: "Who said it's normal? Do you believe that I can drive a Porsche around the street and take a girl to a hotel in minutes?"
"I still don't know the girl's name after I'm done!"
Dai Hengxin looked at He Liangcong speechlessly: "That's a gold digger."
"Brother, don't say that. Not all those who can get in my car and go with me are gold diggers. There are people from all kinds of professions here!"
Dai Hengxin was helpless: "Okay, okay, you are experienced and you have a say. But she is different."
"That's why I said it's not easy for you to succeed!"
Dai Hengxin: "What do you mean by succeed? I'm serious! I'm going to get married. What are you talking about?"
He Liangcong sneered: "Come on! If you really want to marry her, can you get past your parents?"
Dai Hengxin: "..."
After Dai Hengxin left in a bad mood, He Liangcong suddenly realized: "Fuck! If you two succeed, then won't I be an outsider?"
"Old Dai! Old Dai! Wait for me..."
Xiao Yingchun returned home, opened the front and back doors as usual, and sat behind the counter to watch over the shop.
Sales were low that afternoon, but several groups of neighbors came to Xiao Yingchun, each asking how the court session went.
Xiao Yingchun smiled and recounted the proceedings. The neighbors sighed, criticizing Ge Chunyu, then sympathizing with Xiao Yingchun, praising her for her kindness to her relatives.
Ye Yubin, however, felt relieved after hearing what Xiao Yingchun had to say. After much hesitation, he spoke quietly.
"I heard this place is being demolished. If you can sever your ties with them for a few tens of thousands of yuan and sign an agreement not to divide property in the future, that would be best."
"That's so they don't come back to cause trouble."
Xiao Yingchun was stunned. "What?"
Ye Yubin glanced around. "Just keep this to yourself. Don't tell anyone else."
"I know. I won't tell anyone," Xiao Yingchun assured him, suppressing her panic. Only then did Ye Yubin slip on his slippers and leave.
Xiao Yingchun was worried.
She didn't care about the small amount of money for the demolition, nor was she worried about the commotion from her grandmother's side. What she worried about was: If the space-time supermarket was demolished, what would happen
? Could the space-time supermarket be relocated?
If the space-time supermarket couldn't be relocated, and she firmly disagreed with the demolition, would it be forcibly demolished?
If she refused to demolish it, she would be considered a nail house!
Would others think she was stupid?
