24: Chapter 24: A week, Length is Subjective_1 24: Chapter 24: A week, Length is Subjective_1 Liang Youquan nodded, “Yes, it was a businessman, but the businessman did not show up directly…
naturally, it was just a small storefront, not important enough for the big boss to handle personally, so the one who signed the contract with me was a Mr.
you’ve already signed the contract?”
Liang Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, “When did this happen?”
Liang Youquan replied, “After I got off the phone with Nanxi, Mr.
Mo came over with his lawyer.
They said their big boss had to go on a business trip for a week, so they hoped to finalize the procedures in advance…”
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiaoqiao’s face darkened immediately.
She furrowed her eyebrows at Liang Youquan, “You’re ruthless!”
Nanxi and Liang Qiaoqiao didn’t stay at home till evening.
After soothing their grandmother and consoling Liang Youquan, they left the housing complex gate.
Xiaoqiang, the security guard at the gate, was standing there as straight as a pole.
As Liang Qiaoqiao walked by, she frowned, “What are you doing?”
Xiaoqiang opened his mouth, smiling brightly, “Keeping an eye on your car for you!”
Liang Qiaoqiao facepalmed, then sped away dragging Nanxi with her!
They have been back at the Liang Family house for three to four hours.
Was this Xiaoqiang standing at the gate the whole time?
Getting in the car, Liang Qiaoqiao shoved the brown file bag she was holding into Nanxi’s arms.
Nanxi looked up, “What’s this?”
Liang Qiaoqiao: “Didn’t we agree before?
The primary mission to resolve this matter falls on you… Of course, if you encounter difficulties, I will assist you on the side…
Nanxi: “…” That doesn’t sound like the original agreement!
One week was neither long nor short.
During this time, Nanxi was preparing for her thesis defense while waiting for Mr.
Mo to return from his business trip…
Nanxi summoned great courage to dial the phone number of “Mr.
Mo” shown on the contract.
Mo” picked up at the first call…
Nanxi explained her intention to reclaim the storefront on the phone.
After a long silence, Mr.
Mo said, “I can’t make the decision on this.
Once our CEO returns from his business trip, he will set a meeting with you to discuss it…”
And so, for that given promise of “a detailed discussion,” Nanxi waited a whole week!
On May 2nd, the day before Nanxi’s thesis defense, her phone rang.
The number was unfamiliar, but she knew who was calling.
Deeply inhaling, Nanxi answered, “Hello, Mr.
Mo, this is Gu Nanxi!”
Mo responded, then said, “Miss Gu, our CEO is parked at your school gate…”
Nanxi hurriedly changed into a slightly more formal outfit, primarily because it was a gift from Liang Qiaoqiao, intended for her to wear on the day of her thesis defense!
Nanxi figured, dealing with a polished businessman, she was about to violate the contract to reclaim the storefront, so it warranted respectful and sincere dealings– she couldn’t skimp on her attire!
The contract stipulated that if the seller changed their minds within a month of signing, the contract could be rescinded with the buyer’s agreement, with no penalties charged!
But this wish was entirely up to the buyer’s whims!
As she stepped out of the school gate, she sighed to herself.
This scene reminded her of a recent meeting with Lu Yinchu.
Seems like she still owed him a meal!
But she thought, he might have already forgotten who she was!
That would be for the best!
Nanxi exhaled, and was about to reach for her phone to make a call, just when her phone rang…
