Chapter 36: Chapter 36: A Kiss for 200 Million!

One morning, Zhou Chen was sitting at home, leisurely eating breakfast with a newspaper in hand.

This habit had been formed during his stay with relatives in the United Kingdom while studying abroad. Just as he elegantly placed a piece of bacon into his mouth, his secretary rushed in, flustered.

"You handle things rashly, not composed at all," Zhou Chen scolded.

"Zhou... President Zhou! A new subway line in Magic Capital... has been... announced!" the secretary panted, out of breath from the long run.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Chen stood up abruptly, "Really?"

He was ecstatic. It seemed that the piece of land he had recently purchased was about to appreciate in value! A subway line was not just a convenience for transportation; it was also bound to lead to a surge in property prices along its route!

"Tell me! Where is the subway line going to be?"

The secretary unfolded a map of Magic Capital and traced a straight red line with a marker.

Seeing this line, Zhou Chen's heart sank. He grabbed the secretary by the collar, eyes red with intensity, "Where did you get this information!"

"The government has already issued documents; construction on the subway will begin soon..." the secretary bowed his head, bearing the brunt of his boss's wrath.

Zhou Chen pushed the secretary away and stared at the offending red line on the map, filled with rage.

The land he had purchased was valuable, but not that valuable! At the beginning, he had gambled on the new subway line passing through that area, and had even convinced his family to wager more on it. But now, it all seemed wrong! Everything was wrong! Whether the news was true or false!

What to do? What could he do to salvage the situation?

Suddenly, he lifted his head. Wasn't there a new subway line planned? Then he should buy another plot of land before the news spread completely!

He scanned up the red line drawn by the secretary, searching ceaselessly, and at last, he found one, the only available plot of land.

On clearer inspection, he clutched his chest and collapsed to the floor. That plot of land was none other than the unassuming one purchased by Ye Qingqing!

This was the end of it all!

He had invested a great sum of money and might even stand to lose it, but Ye Qingqing had played her cards right with that unassuming piece of land. How many times had its value multiplied now!

When handling the paperwork for that plot of land, there had been non-stop mockery. Now things were looking up; the real estate's value had increased. Those same detractors now had to come to her first before they could even see the young miss. This feeling of slapping their faces was just too satisfying!

Just as she was reveling in sheer delight, the door was pushed open.

Song Yun and Ye Qingqing entered the office.

The official documents had come through today; his investment of 1.5 billion had at least tripled, finally plumping up his wallet!

Ye Qingqing trailing behind Song Yun didn't look like a CEO at all, clinging to Song Yun for a hug.

She was now head over heels for Brother Song Yun. She hadn't expected that a casual sketch from Song Yun could be almost identical to the planned municipal routes!

"Mo Li, what's the highest offer we have now?" Ye Qingqing curiously asked from the sofa.

"The highest offer is eleven billion. Do you want to sell, or should our group develop it ourselves?" Mo Li replied respectfully, but her eyes couldn't help but continuously glance at her son-in-law. She had never imagined him to be so capable, with doubled investment funds and now the same for the land. The young miss was truly fortunate to marry such a man!

"Brother Song Yun, you're the biggest shareholder of this plot. Do we sell?" Ye Qingqing asked with a smile.

Song Yun pondered for a moment. Actually, if the land was held onto for a while longer, they could probably make some more money. But that amount wasn't even close to what he could earn from a casual investment. Proper investment could bring in profits that were incomparable to that small amount.

"Let's sell it. Eleven billion seems to be the highest bid; anything more would seem like speculation," Song Yun said calmly.

"Okay, then sell!" Ye Qingqing instructed Mo Li to contact President Li to sign the contract today.

Such matters had a risk of complications if delayed. Once President Li received the news, he immediately started arranging the funds. After quite the effort, he managed to gather the required amount and signed the contract with Ye Qingqing.

The money was transferred over, and Ye Qingqing wrapped her arms around Song Yun's waist, chuckling, "Song Yun, husband, come on~ Smile for your wife, here's a few billion for you to spend~"

Being teased by a young girl, Song Yun, of course, could not let it go so easily. He was definitely going to smile, and after smiling, a kiss was also definitely in order.

Ye Qingqing had not expected Song Yun to be so rogue-like. Although she was getting used to it, his sudden moves still made her heart flutter.

"Hmph! You only know how to bully me. I was going to give you eight billion, but now I'm deducting two billion, just giving you six! The rest will be sponsoring your wife's business ventures!" Ye Qingqing pouted and muttered.

"Whoa, a kiss for two billion? Not fair! I'm at a huge loss; I need to earn it back!" Song Yun's lips found hers again.
