Gu Qingchen frowned slightly. “What kind of trouble?”

All this while, Little Bean and Wen Qing had been secretly purchasing the land in the Yuanxi Development Zone with other people. They had not encountered any problems before. At most, some people had found some clues and wanted to get involved.

However, Gu Qingchen had thought of a way at that time, so those people could not get involved even if they wanted to. Everything went smoothly after that. There were no other problems.

Xiang Yang thought for a while and said, “It’s those guys who wanted to compete with us. We followed your plan and bought one piece of land each. That way, even if they bought the land, they wouldn’t be able to develop it. Therefore, many people couldn’t stand it and didn’t participate in it. But recently, there seem to be some changes. It seems that some powerful people have intervened.”

Gu Qingchen closed her eyes and listened to Xiang Yang’s words, “I understand. Let’s not make any moves now and try to find out who has intervened. We have already put Paradise on track. Next, my main focus will be on Yuanxi. Ask Wen Qing and Little Bean to keep an eye on this matter. If they don’t have enough manpower, you can go over and help them for the time being.”

!!

Xiang Yang nodded, “Yes, I will go over and help them. Also, our funds don’t seem to be enough. We bought a lot of land at a low price. However, someone spread some news. They said that the government is going to develop Yuanxi, and the remaining people started to ask for a high price.”

“If their offer isn’t too outrageous, we can agree. But I will have a limit, so try not to exceed that limit. As for the capital, there’s no need to worry about that. The few pieces of jades sold today are enough for us to purchase the land and develop new projects.”

Hearing this, Xiang Yang had a sense of confidence. After seeing the thrilling auction today, his heartbeat had never beast so fast in his entire life.

Then, he reported the overall progress and the subsequent preparations to Gu Qingchen. Gu Qingchen listened quietly and calculated in her heart. She would start to show off her skills.

When Xiang Yang sent Gu Qingchen to Dynasty Hotel, it was already close to 10 o’clock. As soon as Gu Qingchen entered the door, she saw Butler Qin saying with a little surprise and excitement, “Doctor Gu, You’re back!”

“Thank god, Doctor Gu is finally back. Young Master has been waiting for you to have dinner together. Young Master had waited from 5 pm to 10 pm.”

Because she saw Butler Qin’s expression and tone were a little off, Gu Qingchen subconsciously read Butler Qin’s thoughts. When she read it, she was also stunned.

Rong Yu has been waiting for her to have dinner. He had not eaten yet from 5 pm to 10 pm?

It would be fine if regular people skipped a meal, but Rong Yu’s health was not good. He needed to maintain a healthy diet.

Therefore, Rong Yu always paid attention to his diet. He ate three meals a day. No matter how busy he was, he would eat regularly.

In the end, he made an exception today.

Gu Qingchen was worried. She nodded to Butler Qin and greeted him. Then, she rushed into the house and went straight to the dining room.

As expected, when Gu Qingchen walked there, she saw Rong Yu sitting quietly. The gentle light shone down with a hint of warmth.

Gu Qingchen sized up Rong Yu. When she saw that Rong Yu did not seem to be angry, she smiled and said to Rong Yu, “I’m back.”

Rong Yu seemed to be in a trance for a moment before he realized that Gu Qingchen was back. He smiled at Gu Qingchen and said, “Yes, let’s eat.”

Although Rong Yu did not say anything and did not blame her, Gu Qingchen felt uncomfortable. It was as if she was caught doing something wrong.

Gu Qingchen opened her mouth but did not say anything. She felt that it was not right to say anything at this time.

Gu Qingchen remembered that Rong Yu had not eaten yet, so she quickly sat down. As soon as she sat down, the maiden began to serve the dishes. Then, the two of them ate quietly.

It was not very lively when they ate together, perhaps because Gu Qingchen had something on her mind today, she felt even quieter.

“Do you like the jade today?” Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Gu Qingchen could only break the silence and find a topic to chat about.

She was indeed a little curious. Rong Yu liked the essence of the jade very much, so much that he spent a lot of money buying it.

Rong Yu gracefully wiped the corner of his mouth and put down the chopsticks in his hand, indicating that he had finished eating. “Yes, it is indeed a rare jade.”

Er… it was indeed a rare piece of jade?

What kind of answer was that? Did he like it or not?

“But no matter how good the jade is, I’m afraid it’s not worth five billion yuan. Five billion was really too much.”

Rong Yu’s black eyes looked at Gu Qingchen, and he supported his chin with one hand. “Whether it’s worth it or not, it’s up to me. Moreover, this five billion can make Paradise famous overnight. Of course, it’s worth it.”

Gu Qingchen looked at Rong Yu in a daze. In other words, did Rong Yu spend five billion to help her make Paradise famous?

One had to know that although Gu Qingchen had invited many famous people to Paradise, she was in the jewelry and jade business. Other than connections, the final thing she wanted was the value of the jewelry and jade.

Now that her Paradise had sold a piece of jade worth five billion, the quality of the entire shop had increased by several levels. Soon, the whole country and even the whole world would know there was a jewelry and jade shop called Paradise in City Y.

Normally, it would take a hundred years or so to accumulate such a reputation. Gu Qingchen’s Paradise had obtained in just one day.

All of this was because of the five billion yuan!

With Rong Yu’s words, Gu Qingchen immediately thought of the crux of the matter.

“No matter what, I still have to thank you today.” Gu Qingchen thanked him very sincerely. Rong Yu’s appearance and the five billion yuan had brought her great benefits.

Rong Yu only smiled, but his expression was not very good. He was forcing himself, but he did not want Gu Qingchen to notice. Gu Qingchen was still quite meticulous. Very soon, she noticed that Rong Yu was acting strangely.

However, she thought that Rong Yu was angry, so she asked carefully, “Rong Yu, I didn’t come back for dinner earlier. Are you angry?”

Sigh, if she had known this would happen, why would she fight with Rong Yu? She was a little rebellious, so she deliberately didn’t come back.

How could she have known that Rong Yu would not eat? He had been sitting there waiting for her to come back. Gu Qingchen felt a bit guilty. Rong Yu was concerned about her, but she deliberately went against Rong Yu.
