Su Yuxiang

Late spring in May, wild flowers bloomed across the mountains, willow catkins drifted, and the weather gradually became muggy.

On the vast, roaring construction site, a nimble figure pushed a cart, moving loads of bricks and stones into the nearby construction buildings.

"Rumble rumble~"

Dumping a large cart of bricks onto the ground, Zhou Ming plopped down on a wooden board, wiped the black sweat from his face with a towel, unscrewed a bottle of black tea, and took a couple of gulps. He rested for a good while.

Counting the days, he had been working continuously on this construction site for twelve days. Even the migrant workers looked at him strangely. After finishing today, it was almost time to stop.

His funds were also close to four thousand, enough to cover living expenses for a while. His next plan was about to begin.

At the entrance of the construction site.

A group of men and women assistants in suits and leather shoes, surrounding a fashionable young couple, walked over.

"Young Master Chu, Miss Su, please come this way."

"Miss Su, our Lijing Bay high-end residential project, since construction began in June the year before last, in less than two years, the construction progress has reached 68%. It is expected to officially open for sale in the beginning of the year after next. By then, this large project with an investment of nearly five billion is expected to bring in tens of billions in revenue, with a return rate of nearly one hundred percent."

"Yes, the land in Lijing Bay is a geomantically auspicious place. It's close to transportation hubs like the city center, railway passenger station, and airport, and to the west is a natural scenic area with beautiful environment and pleasant scenery. When bidding for this land, if President Chu hadn't shown great courage and invested 3.8 billion, this treasure land would have been taken by others long ago."

"President Chu's courage is truly admirable!"

"Of course, our Young Master Chu also has excellent vision and believes that this project has even greater potential for development. A high-end business center can be built around this community to attract a batch of high-end commercial institutions to move in..."

The male and female assistants kept flattering and buttering up the young man in the middle.

While the young man, who looked like a young master in the middle, was feeling smug from the flattery around him, he also said to the beautiful woman beside him in a fawning manner, "Yuxiang, how is it? Our family's real estate project is not bad, right?"

His tone carried a hint of pride and showing off.

The beautiful woman frowned slightly at the man's frivolous appearance and nodded slightly, saying, "It's not bad."

Hearing the woman's affirmation, as if he had received some reward, the man said excitedly, "Really? Yuxiang, you also think this project has great prospects, right? Let me tell you, conservatively estimated, this project can earn 5 billion! Moreover, the various property assets of this community have at least 5 billion in deep excavation value!..."

After boasting for a while, the man said again, "Yuxiang, I also heard that your Su family recently has plans to develop in real estate. Let me tell you, thinking this way is right! If your Su family is interested in this project, as long as you say the word, Yuxiang, I'll take care of everything. I'll take you to make money in this project!"

Seeing Young Master Chu gesticulating as if he had taken an aphrodisiac, Su Yuxiang's beautiful brows furrowed even more.

Although she had heard that this Chu Tianhao was an uneducated and dissolute young master, it seemed to be true now.

Su Yuxiang began to regret listening to her father's arrangement to come and see this so-called Lijing Bay project. With such a boring and shallow man by her side, no matter how great the investment return rate was, she couldn't muster any interest.

"Yuxiang..." Chu Tianhao's voice sounded beside her again, but his tone became a little awkward: "Yuxiang, yesterday my dad called me and said he wanted to introduce me to someone and asked me to bring her to see our Chu family's Lijing Bay project... Now you've seen it, this project is very good, right?"

"And..." As he spoke, Chu Tianhao's face suddenly turned slightly red, but he still mustered up the courage and said, "Yuxiang, what do you think of me? I, I'm quite suitable for you, right?"

As he spoke, Chu Tianhao himself felt a little strange, why did his mouth become so stuttering.

Perhaps it was the first time he had seen a woman he liked; he wasn't usually like this.

"What?"

Su Yuxiang opened her mouth slightly in surprise, her mind in a mess.

What, what was this?

Is this a confession? A confession less than an hour after meeting for the first time?

How can such a bizarre person exist in this world?

"Excuse me, Young Master Chu, I suddenly feel a bit unwell. I'd like to go back and freshen up."

Finding an excuse, Su Yuxiang turned to leave.

"Unwell? Where are you unwell? How about I take you to the hospital to get checked out?"

Chu Tianhao asked with concern, finding it a bit strange. She was fine just a moment ago, so why did Yuxiang suddenly feel unwell?

"No need, I can go by myself. You all can continue with your work."

Su Yuxiang turned and walked back, slightly quickening her pace, intending to shake off this annoying figure clinging to her.

Chu Tianhao also sensed something was wrong. He panicked for a moment, then immediately chased after her, grabbing the woman's hand. "Yuxiang, Yuxiang, don't go! Let me finish what I'm saying. My dad told me yesterday that if our Su and Chu families can form a marriage alliance, he'll let me manage the Lijing Bay project. As long as you nod your head, Yuxiang, this Lijing Bay project will be ours together. Yuxiang, this is tens of billions!"

Boom!

It was as if a pot had exploded nearby. The female assistants standing to the side glared at Su Yuxiang with eyes that looked like they wanted to devour her. The jealousy in their hearts almost consumed them.

Tens of billions! Young Master Chu was throwing tens of billions just to chase this woman?

How great would it be if I were that woman?!

"Excuse me, I'm not interested in this project. Please let go."

Su Yuxiang, who was being forcibly held, became annoyed. She had never been treated so rudely since she was a child. She snapped, "Let go quickly!"

Chu Tianhao's eyes turned red. He gripped the woman in front of him even harder, his face fierce. "Su Yuxiang, think carefully. Fifty billion is enough to buy the entire Su family. What else do you disagree with? Didn't your dad just send you over? Why are you acting pure in front of me?"

Chu Tianhao was also annoyed. He had played with so many women, and no matter how aloof or pure they were, none had failed to fall under his financial offensive. Even if Su Yuxiang had higher standards, after throwing so much money at her, she was still putting on an act?

"Slap!"

"Let go!"

A loud slap landed on Chu Tianhao's face. Amidst the angry shout, Su Yuxiang struggled even harder.

Chu Tianhao was a bit stunned. This woman dared to hit me?

Since I was a child, no one has ever hit me!

"I won't let go!" Chu Tianhao's temper also flared. He stiffened his neck and held Su Yuxiang's hand tightly. The woman's arm, with skin like bamboo shoots and jade, was already red from being squeezed.

"Let go quickly! Can someone come and help me?"

Su Yuxiang was on the verge of tears. What kind of lunatic had she encountered? She looked around for help, hoping someone could stop this madman.

The assistants nearby exchanged glances, but none dared to step forward. Several female assistants even had schadenfreude on their faces, showing no intention of helping her out.

At this moment, a strange man pushing a cart of bricks walked over from the opposite side, dressed like a migrant worker.

"Hey! Hey! Someone come and help me! This man is crazy."

Su Yuxiang's eyes lit up. She felt like she had seen this person somewhere before, and it was like grabbing a life-saving straw. She quickly shouted at the migrant worker.

"Me?"

Hearing the shouts, Zhou Ming hesitated for a moment. Seeing the woman's pitiful appearance and the almost pleading look in her eyes, his heart softened. He put down the cart and walked towards the young master.

"Huh, Little Yang Bro, you're here too? I'm Dongzi, Lin Dadong. Don't you recognize me, brother? We even had a drink together last time."

Zhou Ming hugged Chu Tianhao around the waist, rubbing the dust and sweat from his body onto the high-end fabric of the jacket.

"Who are you? You bastard, let go of me! Someone, quickly pull this lunatic away!"

Amidst the commotion, Su Yuxiang, having broken free from the pulling, glanced back gratefully at the 'migrant worker', then left the troublesome place without looking back.
