Urban drama: Starting with marrying the beautiful and wealthy Jiang Lai

"The reason she acted that way was because she was abandoned by her parents when she was young and lived as a dependent in her uncle's house."

Perhaps she suffered too much hardship as a child, which is why she desperately wants to change her life!

Jiang Lai shook her head and said.

As the saying goes, "Every hateful person has a pitiable side, and every pitiable person has a hateful side."

No matter how pitiful she may be, she shouldn't have attacked you like that!

Although Jiang Lai doesn't admit it on the surface, deep down she already considers Cao Meng one of her own.

She wouldn't allow anyone to slander Cao Meng.

While waiting for the landlord to arrive, Jiang Lai suddenly remembered the time Zhu Suosuo had mentioned earlier.

She gave Cao Meng a cute eye roll and said.

"Do you really have to be so beastly? Can't you just not control yourself?"

The very night we broke up, you went to see that woman!

Cao Meng shook his head and said with a smirk.

"You know, I never ate enough when I was with you!"

Jiang Lai recalled that morning with Cao Meng,

It seemed that Cao Meng only let him go after he begged for mercy.

It seems Cao Meng really didn't eat enough; no wonder he went to see Zhu Suosuo that night.

Jiang Lai was still agonizing over the death of her ex-boyfriend, Chen Fang, just a few days ago.

She herself felt it was inappropriate for her to become too involved with Cao Meng now.

So it seems that her relationship with Cao Meng is just that of friends with benefits.

She doesn't seem to have any right to interfere in Cao Meng's private life.

Not to mention, if you didn't feed Cao Meng properly, don't blame him for going out to find food.

Just then, the shop owner arrived.

He opened the door to let Jiang Lai and Cao Meng see the place.

After walking around, Cao Meng realized that this place used to be a hot pot restaurant.

Logically speaking, this area is bordered by a bustling commercial district on one side.

On the other side is a densely populated residential area, so there shouldn't be a shortage of customers.

Why did the original hot pot restaurant go out of business?

Cao Meng toured the entire store and then understood why.

It can be said that the original owner's business philosophy was the opposite of Haidilao's.

The boss is quite demanding, and the employees have no motivation to work for him.

Every little detail reflects a decline in morale.

Everything was messy and the hygiene was terrible.

There were even a lot of cockroaches in the kitchen!

It's no wonder that a hot pot restaurant like this goes out of business!

Cao Meng was quite satisfied with the store's size and location.

After buying it, we'll renovate it properly.

Just strictly follow and replicate Haidilao's style.

He nodded to Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai began to discuss the price with the homeowner.

The previous store went bankrupt, which left the owner with little confidence.

He quoted a relatively low price.

This shop is 1000 square meters, used for both commercial and residential purposes, and has two floors.

The upper floor can be used as a warehouse and staff living quarters, while the lower floor is where the store will officially open.

It's 2013 now, and house prices haven't skyrocketed yet.

The average price here is less than 30,000, but Jiang Lai bought it for 20 million!

They went to the real estate office that same day.

After the funds arrived, the homeowner transferred the property directly to Cao Meng's name.

The homeowner gave Cao Meng a strange look.

I guess he, like Zhu Suosuo, also thought Cao Meng was Jiang Lai's kept man.

Cao Meng was too lazy to explain, and there was no way to explain it.

After acquiring the shop, the first thing to do was to renovate it.

It turns out the hot pot restaurant's decor was terrible and couldn't attract any customers.

Cao Meng wanted to renovate it in the style of the original Haidilao flagship store.

The goal is to make guests want to order as soon as they walk in.

He then asked Jiang Lai, "Do you know any interior designers?"

Jiang Lai blinked and chuckled.

"Gan Jing! You might as well give this project to her, and while you're at it, give yourself to her too!"

(The data is absolutely terrible, please give me some flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets, and I especially hope you can leave some comments!)

Chapter 28 Gan Jing grabbed him with an urgent look on his face!

Cao Meng's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea.

By having Gan Jing in charge of the interior design, I will have many opportunities to interact with her.

Maybe then we'll have a chance to make Gan Jing win without lifting a finger!

He immediately said to Jiang Lai, "Then take me to find Gan Jing now."

I invited her to do my interior design!

Jiang Lai shook her head and said dismissively.

"Gan Jing now mainly does interior design for entire residential communities, which are all very large projects."

She probably doesn't have time for such a small project for you!

Cao Meng, confident and with a slight smile, said...

"Don't worry, I have a way to get her to agree to do the interior design for me!"

Jiang Lai looked at Cao Meng in surprise and couldn't help but ask.

"You've only met her three times, how can you be so arrogant?"

Cao Meng smiled mysteriously and said.

"I have a brilliant plan, just you wait and see!"

Jiang Lai had no choice but to drive her sports car and take Cao Meng to Gan Jing's interior design firm.

Because the staff at Gan Jing's firm knew Jiang Lai, there were no obstacles.

When they arrived at Gan Jing's office, Cao Meng said to Jiang Lai.

"You wait outside, I'll go in alone!"

Jiang Lai glared at Cao Meng and said.

"Is there anything you can't let me know?"

Cao Meng chuckled and said.

"Having you around will remind her of our relationship."

That would make it difficult for me to use my charm to seduce her!

Jiang Lai hasn't been able to see Fei Lu: Jiu Qi Wu these days.

Durian # Ba

Ba Siyi let go of her hatred for her brother Jiang Haokun.

She still hoped, as always, that Cao Meng would win over Gan Jing.

I love that her brother Jiang Haokun will die forever, and that will provoke her brother Jiang Haokun.

So Jiang Lai nodded and said.

"Alright then, do your best!"

Cao Meng walked into Gan Jing's office and saw Gan Jing drawing.

Gan Jing probably didn't expect Cao Meng to come today, so she was dressed rather lightly.

A white shirt, the top two buttons still undone.

Actually, it's not a big deal that the top two buttons of the shirt aren't fastened.

Most people don't know how to button the top two buttons.

But the Gan Jing of this time and space is much more voluptuous and alluring.

When she wears a fitted white shirt, it always looks like the fabric is about to burst out.

Cao Meng stared at Gan Jing with great admiration, his gaze very focused.

Gan Jing was drawing with his head down when he suddenly felt two aggressive gazes.

That gaze felt so real that she couldn't help but clutch her heart.

She suddenly looked up and saw Cao Meng.

No man had ever dared to look at him like that before, except for Cao Meng.

This always made Gan Jing feel a little shy.

Her delicate face flushed red, her cheeks glowing.

Gan Jing glared at Cao Meng, feeling both ashamed and angry.

"How did you come?"

Cao Meng smiled and looked at Gan Jing's dignified yet blushing face.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to bring you business!"

Gan Jing was somewhat surprised, always feeling that Cao Meng was a rather irresponsible person.

"You think you can bring me business?"

Cao Meng stared intently into Gan Jing's beautiful eyes and chuckled.

"Don't look down on me, I have a 20 million dollar business deal for you!"

Gan Jing looked at Cao Meng in astonishment.

"A 20 million deal? You actually gave me a 20 million deal?"

Cao Meng smiled and looked at Gan Jing's dignified and elegant face.

"I recently spent 20 million to buy a shop and plan to open a hot pot restaurant."

I have specific requirements for interior design…

Gan Jing was both amused and exasperated, and shook his head as he spoke.

"I thought the 20 million you mentioned was for interior design fees."

So it turns out it was money you used to buy the shop!

What is your budget for interior design fees?

Cao Meng thought for a moment and said, "20!"
