The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 51 The Reason (Please continue reading)

Back in the living room, Gu Heng, Jiang Man, and Wang Baoshan sat on the sofa, while the others stood around them.

"Dean Jiang, are you sincerely selling the house?"

Gu Heng picked up a cup of tea and asked Jiang Man.

"of course."

Jiang Man sat gracefully and nodded slightly in response.

"May I ask why?"

Gu Heng didn't mince words and asked directly, "You put so much effort into decorating this house so nicely, but you haven't even lived in it for a day and you're already planning to sell it? That doesn't make sense."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man fell silent for a moment.

“My ex-husband and I were married for 25 years. This house was originally intended for us to live in after we retired, but we got divorced before the house was fully renovated.”

“My ex-husband is in the medical equipment business, which is spread throughout the province of Kedah. Over the years, I have known that he has been having affairs, but as long as he doesn’t take it seriously and doesn’t bring those women home, I’ve turned a blind eye.”

At this point, Jiang Man sighed softly, then her eyes suddenly sharpened: "But my tolerance only made him more and more audacious. He even dared to have a child with another woman behind my back. That woman even dared to bring his two children to my workplace to show off and assert her dominance."

"What chilled me to the bone was that I discovered my ex-husband was secretly transferring our marital assets behind my back. They've already been defecating on my neck, so of course I can't continue to tolerate him."

"So I just brought up divorce."

“It wasn’t until then that I found out that he had transferred most of our marital property. In the end, after the court judgment, I only got a few properties, and this house was one of them.”

Gu Heng listened silently to Jiang Man's story, while Luo Xiwen, standing behind Gu Heng, stared blankly at Jiang Man.

She found it hard to believe that a woman as outstanding as Jiang Man would choose to tolerate and ignore her husband's affair.

Isn't that cheating?

Isn't that betrayal?

Luo Xiwen's naive values ​​were once again subjected to a crazy shock.

"That bastard Sun Kai!"

"If your father hadn't helped him back then, would he be where he is today?"

"He's treating you like this now, he's a fucking bastard!"

Wang Baoshan clearly knew the inside story, and after Jiang Man finished speaking, he angrily cursed.

Hearing Wang Baoshan's curses, Jiang Man smiled bitterly, but instead of joining in, she turned to Gu Heng and said, "Mr. Gu, to be honest with you, I can't afford to renovate or maintain this house anymore."

“I have a daughter who is currently studying in the United States. Her father’s mind is currently focused on the two sons that woman gave birth to for him. Whether he will still care about her in the future is still unknown, so I have to prepare in advance.”

“If you really like this house, let’s discuss the price. I know the housing market is sluggish right now, and I know there are very few people willing to spend tens of millions to buy a house in Beichun, so I’m not looking to break even, I just want to lose as little as possible.”

Jiang Man spoke very sincerely.

Gu Heng looked at Jiang Man, and the two stared at each other for more than ten seconds before he finally nodded: "Dean Jiang, name your price."

When Jiang Man saw that Gu Heng was asking about the price and was genuinely interested in buying, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes. She turned around and took out the file folder she had prepared in advance.

"Mr. Gu, you can take a look."

Jiang Man handed the file bag to Gu Heng: "Since I started renovating this house, I've put all the purchase receipts, invoices, and customs tax bills for building materials, furniture, and appliances in here."

Gu Heng took the file bag, but did not open it; instead, he placed it aside.

"Mr. Gu, aren't you going to take a look?"

Jiang Man was slightly taken aback upon seeing this.

"Someone will see these things later."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "Now we just need to discuss the price."

"Um……"

"Ok."

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment, then said, "President Gu, my original expected price was 2650 million. I sincerely want to sell, so I'm willing to cut my own price. How about 2600 million?"

As Jiang Man finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to Gu Heng.

"Dean Jiang, your cut was a bit too light."

Gu Heng smiled at Jiang Man, then picked up his phone to check the time: "My legal team will arrive in ten minutes. They are all professional lawyers who specialize in due diligence on luxury homes."

"If Dean Jiang can offer a price that satisfies me before my legal team arrives, then we will proceed with the deal at that price. If Dean Jiang cannot satisfy me, then I will have to leave the negotiation to them."

"I think Dean Jiang is aware of how difficult lawyers can be. As their employer, I'm sure they'll haggle over every penny until the price is as low as possible."

"so……"

"Dean Jiang, please think it over carefully."

At the end, Gu Heng made a gesture of invitation.

Legal team?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Man's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Cough cough..."

"Jiang Manna, I advise you to think about this carefully."

“We’re old classmates, so I’ll tell you the truth.”

"It's really not easy to find a suitable buyer for your house." "Those who like it can't afford it."

"Those who can afford it usually prefer to buy a bare-bones apartment and then design it themselves."

Wang Baoshan chimed in at the opportune moment, saying, "If you miss out on Mr. Gu today, you might not find a suitable buyer again for the next three to five years if you're unlucky."

"The housing market is sluggish now. In three to five years, not to mention how much the housing prices will fall further, your newly renovated house will become an old house."

"For you right now, the most important thing is to liquidate the house and keep the money in your own hands. Otherwise, no matter how expensive the house is, you can't just use it as cash right away."

As Jiang Man listened to Wang Baoshan's advice, she knew that he was telling the truth.

Actually, she didn't expect to meet an interested and financially capable buyer so quickly, so she was somewhat caught off guard.

"Um……"

Jiang Man hesitated for nearly five minutes before finally gritting her teeth and looking at Gu Heng, saying, "Mr. Gu, I'll give you the lowest price. If you think it's acceptable, then we'll go with this price. If you don't think it's acceptable, then you don't need to have your lawyer talk to me."

"One price, 2300 million!"

"Consider it a free gift from me to you that lounge on the third floor!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Gu Heng once again.

Compared to her initial offer, Jiang Man cut her offer by 300 million this time.

Under the spotlight, Gu Heng pondered for a moment before finally nodding slightly: "Dean Jiang, then it's 2300 million. Let's be friends."

When Jiang Man heard Gu Heng agree, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

"To make friends."

"President Gu, please feel free to contact me by phone if you need anything in the future."

Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile returned to her face.

"Dean Jiang, but I need to make it clear to you beforehand that the price we just discussed was based on the premise that everything you said during your presentation was true."

Gu Heng's expression turned slightly serious: "If my legal team finds during due diligence that your description does not match the reality, then this price will not be valid."

"no problem!"

Jiang Man said confidently, "You can investigate however you want. If I lied even a little bit just now, you can cut the price however you want."

"Row."

"Then I'll trouble Dean Jiang to open the north entrance door; they've already arrived."

Gu Heng glanced at his phone and spoke to Jiang Man.

"Manager Li, please open the door."

Wang Baoshan gave the order directly.

"Dean Jiang, please have a seat."

"I'll just come."

As Li Mei spoke, she quickly walked to the entrance and opened the north-side sliding door.

Soon, two Audi A6Ls drove into the yard one after the other.

"Ta Tata..."

As a series of rapid footsteps approached from outside, everyone sitting in the living room looked in the direction of the sound.

There were eight people in total, both men and women.

They were all dressed in impeccably tailored suits and carrying briefcases.

Everyone looked energetic and exuded the aura of legal elites.

Although they were all wearing suits, the difference between Li Mei, Huang Yufan, and the others was immediately apparent when they stood in front of this group.

"Chairman Gu, this is Attorney He Jingyi, a senior lawyer specializing in real estate, and also a member of your exclusive service team."

Xia Siyao, as Gu Heng's legal assistant, naturally came along. She first introduced the female lawyer at the front to Gu Heng, and then introduced the remaining six lawyers: "The remaining six lawyers are all real estate lawyers in our firm, and each has their own area of ​​expertise."

“He Lu, I met him at Yanronghui that day.”

Gu Heng stood up and smiled at the other person: "I'll have to trouble Lawyer He today."

"Chairman Gu, you're too kind."

"Serving you is our duty."

He Jingyi had short hair, which made her look very neat, and she spoke very politely.

At this moment, Jiang Man and Wang Baoshan, sitting on the sofa, looked at the scene before them. Their eyes met and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

You know, lawyers aren't as common as cabbages.

They all charge by the hour.

They originally thought that the legal team Gu Heng mentioned would consist of two lawyers and a few assistants, but they never expected that seven full-fledged lawyers would come, and the team leader was a senior lawyer specializing in real estate.

The most crucial point is that these lawyers were being far too polite to Gu Heng!

Wang Baoshan was filled with surprise, and at the same time, his regard for Gu Heng rose several notches again...
