56: Shops worth 200 million

48 shops, an entire street!

And... Wenqin Road, number fifty-something?

It seems to be this very street?

Chen Qiu was slightly stunned, and immediately began calculating its value in his mind.

According to the system, most of the shops on this street are two stories high, with varying areas, and the total area of the 48 shops is 9,000 square meters!

Even if calculated at a relatively low selling price of 20,000 per square meter, the total value of these shops is close to 200 million!

Even the current Chen Qiu still found it hard to suppress the joy in his heart.

This was 200 million!

It wasn't like the shares in the Cultural Industry Group that couldn't be cashed out!

These were assets that could be converted into cash in minutes if he wanted to sell them!

Excitement appeared on Chen Qiu's face.

Wan Lingfei, sitting opposite him, also became excited.

It looks like... my ultimate life goal is about to be achieved?

Should I be a bit more reserved later and ask to get to know each other first?

Or, should I ask him to give me a million or so to pay off my loan first?

Just as Wan Lingfei was agonizing over this, Chen Qiu downed his "Twilight of Utopia"!

"It's really good!"

Even pure bitter iced Americano ash water, Chen Qiu felt it tasted a little sweet at this moment.

Wan Lingfei, receiving his affirmation, also smiled.

"I..."

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Chen Qiu pull out his phone.

"Let's pay the bill!"

"No need, how can I let you pay for such a small amount? It's my treat!"

Wan Lingfei said very generously.

Chen Qiu was surprised but didn't dwell on it, directly putting his phone away.

"If there's a chance in the future, I'll treat Miss Wan to a meal!"

"Future?"

Wan Lingfei was stunned, saying in confusion.

"I'm free recently, we can go to the theater tomorrow, and after getting to know each other a few more times, I think it'll be about right..."

"Miss Wan, you've misunderstood."

Chen Qiu stood up and gave her a slightly apologetic expression.

"I don't think we're a good match, so I won't waste Miss Wan's time!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Lingfei froze in place.

"Aren't we getting along well? We can totally work together to build Gannan's most advanced commercial street..."

Watching Chen Qiu's retreating back, she suddenly came to her senses.

"Was I played?"

"He didn't like me?"

"Damn it, give me back my coffee!"

Wan Lingfei stomped her foot in anger, on the verge of tears.

This cup of coffee cost 58, which might be her entire day's revenue!

...Lianyu Decoration!

Yan Li, who was just about to go out, suddenly saw a few ill-looking people not far away staring in their direction.

He vaguely remembered seeing one of them somewhere before.

Instantly, his heart sank.

"Oh no, it's Boss Liao's men!"

The other party also noticed Yan Li, and several of them rushed towards him.

Yan Li nimbly retreated into the shop, slamming the glass door shut, blocking them at the entrance.

"Damn it, Yan, aren't you going to pay back the money?"

"Two million has been owed for almost a year, do you think we're running a charity?!"

The leader at the door was shouting wildly, waving a baseball bat in his hand!

Yan Li used all his strength to hold the door, a fierce look appearing on his gaunt face.

"Damn you, Liao Chen, sending people to block me! If you have the guts, smash the door, I'll stab anyone who comes in!"

With that, he even pulled out a small knife from his pants pocket, simultaneously shouting inside.

"Wife, call the police, someone's trying to rob us!"

Seeing Yan Li carrying a knife, the people at the door immediately exchanged glances!

Yan Li was deeply in debt, already a desperate man.

They were there to collect debts, not to fight to the death. If someone got stabbed, things would get really messy!

Moreover, they had only come to scare Yan Li, but they didn't expect him to be so fierce, directly pulling out a knife and calling the police.

If the police came, they would definitely be in trouble.

"Yan Li, you better pay back the money quickly, or you won't be able to survive in Gannan anymore!"

After uttering threats, the group left.

Yan Li slowly let out a sigh of relief, feeling as if all his strength had been drained.

At this moment, Tao Xia, still clutching her phone, walked out from inside, her face pale. In her other hand, she also held a fruit knife.

"Old Yan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, they're just a bunch of punks!"

Yan Li shook his head, walked to the sofa, and collapsed onto it.

Tao Xia, beside him, also had a face full of worry.

"More and more debt collectors are coming!"

"Sigh!"

Yan Li patted her back, comforting her.

"We'll get through this period, and it'll be fine..."

"I'll ask around again to see if anyone can help us with some capital turnover..."

Tao Xia remained silent upon hearing this.

Everyone who could lend money had already lent it; there was no one left!

Now, the project at the Cultural Industry Park had been delayed... if they could get that project, there might be hope of getting through this!

However, Tao Xia didn't complain, and quietly left.

Leaving Yan Li alone, frowning as he scrolled through WeChat.

He opened the chat with a friend he had contacted last night; the message he sent last night still had no reply.

Yan Li rubbed his face, thinking that if there was no other way, he would just have to go in person!

Swallowing his pride, he might still be able to get some money.

At least enough for Yan Baiwei and Tao Xia to spend the New Year undisturbed.

He subconsciously opened his Moments, only to see posts from construction bosses lamenting how difficult things were getting.

Just as he was about to exit, he suddenly saw his daughter Yan Baiwei's face in a photo.

[Thank you, owner, for choosing Lianyu Decoration. Boyue Mansion Villa construction begins!]

"It was posted by Old Zhao..."

Yan Li looked at his daughter, beautiful and aloof in the photo, feeling both relieved and a little worried.

If he were more capable, his daughter wouldn't have to work so hard to support the family's expenses.

"Boyue Mansion... this should be the villa of Weiwei's classmate, right?"

Just then, Yan Li's gaze involuntarily fell on the handsome young man beside his daughter.

Looking at that face, a sense of familiarity welled up.

He was stunned for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck him, connecting him to the young CEO Chen he had seen at the hotel entrance earlier.

Yan Li stood up in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"
