Chapter 721  : Best Actor Shen Slaps Himself! (1)

When Shen Liangchuan came to develop the building project, he had known that this was going to be a loss for sure.

However, as he had sensed in Beijing, it was about time that property prices went up.

Lu Nanze controlled Suzhou.

Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, owned Beijing.

So even though he was in Suzhou to develop this property, he was at a disadvantage. However…

He was a talented businessman.

And this was his gamble.

If he won, he would make a hefty sum.

If he lost, he would have nothing but debts to service.

Hence, for the past two weeks, although he had been busy with the development project, he had really been waiting for news from Beijing.

He had faced tremendous psychological stress.

And it was only now that he could relax and finally breathe.

The moment he received the news, he was immediately glad.

After Qiao Lian heard these words and had a chance to reflect on what he had said, she suddenly understood.

For the next six months, property prices would shoot through the roof, which would mean… that the value of their development project would shoot through the roof too.

And the higher property prices rose, the more they would benefit.

Then, she thought about how earlier that day, when the crowd demanded a refund of their units, Shen Liangchuan had done so at the current market price without another word.

But when they found out about the news tomorrow… Oh, how much would they regret it!

As Qiao Lian looked at the man standing before her now, for some reason, she felt as though something within her was set ablaze.

He had kept quiet all along, looking as though he had been totally defeated by Lu Nanze.

But in the end, he never failed to give her a pleasant surprise.

At this point, Qiao Lian’s cell phone rang. Picking up the call, she heard Lu Nanze’s voice saying, “Didn’t manage to sell any houses? For the sake of our close childhood friendship, do you need my help? Why don’t I buy the both of you a meal?”

Shen Liangchuan had gotten first-hand news.

It had not been publicly announced.

Hence, Lu Nanze did not know yet that his scheme had amounted to nothing.

She looked at Shen Liangchuan and then thought about the things that Lu Nanze had done. Suddenly, she felt the irresistible urge to slap someone in the face.

She immediately replied, “Yes, why not? Let’s have breakfast together tomorrow.”

After she hung up, she gave Shen Liangchuan a mysterious smile and said, “Let’s take revenge tomorrow!”

The next morning.

Aware that they were meeting Lu Nanze for breakfast, Shen Liangchuan quietly took out the suit he had bought shopping together before.

The suit made him look exceptionally tall and gave him an outstanding silhouette.

Qiao Lian had chosen something casual for herself but, when she turned around and saw him, she immediately burst out laughing.

Shen Liangchuan wearing this suit would infuriate Lu Nanze so much, she was sure.

Petty men were such scary people.

She was still laughing as they walked downstairs.

After they got into the elevator, Qiao Lian stood on her tiptoes to straighten Shen Lianchuan’s tie.

He, on the other hand, reached out to teasingly neaten her hair.

Song Cheng, who was standing next to them, couldn’t help but give an embarrassed cough and said, “Brother Shen, Sister Qiao, public displays of affection can cause premature death.”

They were just making him exceptionally conscious of his own singlehood. Those bullies!

Qiao Lian immediately pursed her lips and laughed uncontrollably.

As they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Lu Nanze at once. He was in a suit and leather shoes, sitting and waiting for them in the restaurant.

From afar, his lips were curled upwards into a smile and he looked incomparably magnificent.

Thinking that he had probably beaten Shen Liangchuan, he was in high spirits.

As Qiao Lian looked at him, they caught his attention too and his eyes narrowed at once.

However, the moment he saw what Shen Liangchuan was wearing, his smile froze.
