Chapter 89: Or You Can Sign It?
Zhou Ran stared with eyes wide open, looking like he’d seen a ghost.
It was as if his whole face was asking whether she was serious.
And it wasn’t just Zhou Ran. Even Tang Shi and the others all stared at Su Qian in shock.
Tang Shi couldn’t help speaking up. “Su Qian… don’t be impulsive. Spending that much money just to plant flowers and raise birds or something, it’s really not worth it.”
She knew Su Qian was rich.
But even rich people didn’t spend money like this.
If things went wrong, it would be a straight loss.
Seeing everyone’s stunned expressions, Su Qian couldn’t help laughing. “Don’t worry. I have my reasons.”
[Spirit herbs are still herbs, and cranes are still birds. Nothing wrong with that.]
“Zhou Ran, contact a lawyer and draft the contract right away. It’s best if we can sign it today.”
Zhou Ran answered quickly, “Got it!”
He couldn’t figure out what Su Qian was planning.
But trusting her was never wrong.
While they waited for the lawyer to come with the contract, Old Tang invited everyone into the house to sit down and drink some tea.
Boss Zhang had planned to leave.
But the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he was.
So he decided to stay and watch Su Qian embarrass herself.
Maybe he could even snag something in the chaos.
“This place really is pretty good.” Lu Yao naturally sat beside Su Qian, calm as ever, and took a small sip of tea.
“The terrain is flat and open. That’s a good sign. Feng shui values the flow of aura. On flat land, the aura is steady, which helps it gather and circulate. It’s like a natural treasure bowl that can hold the life force of all things.”
No wonder Su Qian had her eye on this place.
It was just a pity that compared to the backyard environment at Yun Jin Villa, it was still a bit worse.
“Brother Lu Yao even knows feng shui?” Zhou Ran looked at Lu Yao in surprise, curiosity written all over his face.
Lu Yao smiled slightly, set down the teacup, and said, “I only know a little.”
Zhou Ran leaned close to Su Qian and whispered, “Tsk, what kind of background does your ‘distant relative’ have?”
“Tell you, and you’ll die of fright.” Su Qian rolled her eyes at Zhou Ran.
Lu Yao’s background really wasn’t easy to explain.
“Tsk.” Zhou Ran pouted. “Fine, don’t say it. So mysterious. Like I even care.”
But even as he said that, his eyes still couldn’t help drifting toward Lu Yao.
Lu Yao heard their quiet whispering.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
Hearing Lu Yao’s words, Old Tang looked delighted. “Yes, yes! When we developed the farm before, we hired a feng shui master to check it. It’s exactly like this young man said.”
“Tch, superstition and tricks.” Boss Zhang looked full of disdain, sitting there and watching them talk big.
Soon, the lawyer hurried over with a first draft of the contract.
He cleared his throat. “President Su, the contract is ready. Please review it, both sides.”
Su Qian skimmed it.
It was basically buying fifty-year rights, with the price set at twelve million yuan.
It was within what she expected.
There was nothing too surprising.
Old Tang held the contract, his lips trembling. “Su… President Su, you’re really going to decide it just like this? This isn’t a small amount. Twelve million yuan… what if-”
“Don’t worry.” Su Qian smiled casually. “If anything happens later, I’ll take responsibility myself.”
Old Tang opened his mouth, wanting to say more.
But when he saw how confident Su Qian looked, he swallowed his words back down.
Su Qian picked up the pen, ready to sign her name as Party B.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Boss Zhang suddenly shouted.
He stared at the contract, eyes wide, disbelief all over his face.
Twelve million yuan?
He had been sure this little girl was just bragging.
There was no way she could take out that much money.
But now she was confidently about to sign the contract.
He couldn’t accept it.
“Or you can sign it?” Su Qian paused with the pen in her hand, lifted her eyes to Boss Zhang, and spoke with a half-smile.
Boss Zhang choked on her words, his face turning bright red.
Me sign it?
Sign what?
That was over ten million, not just one thousand.
If he could take out over ten million, would he really need to fool Tang Chuan Chang into renting him land at a cheap price?
Su Qian chuckled softly and stopped paying attention to Boss Zhang’s mockery.
The pen in her hand moved again.
She signed her name neatly and decisively.
Old Tang’s hand trembled as he held the pen, but in the end, he signed as Party A.
The contract officially took effect.
Boss Zhang was completely stunned.
“Huh? That’s it? It’s done?” Tang Shi blinked, still feeling like she was dreaming. “In the blink of an eye, our family just became a multi-million magnate?”
The moment Tang Shi said that, everyone couldn’t help laughing.
Meanwhile, Boss Zhang’s face looked terrible, turning pale, then red.
He never expected it.
He thought he would get to watch Su Qian make a fool of herself.
Instead, she really did take the farm, and the contract was already signed.
Now he had truly tried to be clever and ended up taking the loss.
All he could do was grit his teeth unwillingly and prepare to sneak away.
“Oh? Boss Zhang, you don’t want the farm anymore?” Su Qian smiled. “If you really want it, name a price. I’ll give it to you.”
Boss Zhang froze, then shot Su Qian a vicious glare. “Twelve million yuan? If you want to be that sucker, go ahead. I’m not playing along!”
After saying that, Boss Zhang strode off without looking back.
“President Su, don’t worry. We’ll move out as soon as possible in the next couple of days and clear out the entire farm,” Old Tang said with a serious face.
Tang Shi nodded in agreement beside him.
“Boss Tang, I just got this farm, and I really need people right now.” Su Qian paused, then continued, “Would you be willing to help manage the farm? Don’t worry. We can talk about pay and everything.”
Whether it was the pharmaceutical factory or the farm, Su Qian planned to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
There was no way she could stay here all the time.
Having someone reliable to help manage it would be perfect.
Old Tang’s face lit up with surprise.
He had spent most of his life on the farm, and he didn’t want to adjust to life outside.
He said quickly, “If President Su is willing to let me help, then of course I’m happy to stay and keep working on the farm.”
“Yeah, Su Qian. My dad has tons of experience with farms,” Tang Shi said with a smile and a nod.
“You don’t have to call me President Su. Tang Shi and I are classmates. If Uncle Tang doesn’t mind, just call me Su Qian.”
Old Tang smiled with honest warmth. “Alright, Little Qian. Then I won’t be polite. I’ll call you by your name. Don’t think this old man is being too casual.”
That afternoon, Su Qian gave a simple rundown of the farm’s rough plan.
She had Old Tang start arranging workers tomorrow.
Which areas should be fenced off, which areas should have pits dug…
And all sorts of details about the farm’s future development.
It wasn’t until the sun was nearly setting that Su Qian and the others finally left.
After they left, Old Tang reminded Tang Shi solemnly, “Shi Shi, you absolutely can’t let your brother know about selling the farm.”
Tang Shi understood right away. “Dad, don’t worry. I won’t say a single word.”
What kind of person Tang Chuan Chang was, the two of them knew better than anyone.
If he found out the farm sold for that much money, he would definitely take it to gamble again.
