Net Worth

"To hell with him! What is that old guy? He actually wants me to drink with him. It's disgusting. Humph, what a piece of trash. Does he think he's so great just because he has a few stinking coins? He kept staring at my thighs. Do you think he can touch my beautiful legs in stockings? Even Yang Jian hasn't touched them."

As soon as she entered, Jiang Yan, dressed in a business suit, said angrily.

She went to discuss some company matters today, but instead ran into a disgusting guy.

Zhang Liqin, who had also followed them into the room, asked with some surprise, "Don't you and Yang Jian get along very well?"

Jiang Yan rolled her eyes. "Of course it's great. We used to sleep in the same bed every day when we were struggling to start our business. But I guess I'm not his type. He's indifferent to me. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm stuck with him for life. By the way, why aren't you angry today? That old guy kept staring at your chest."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Liqin's impressive bust with a hint of jealousy. It was simply against all reason; how could it be that big? This wasn't a comic book.

Zhang Liqin chuckled softly, "I've been used to it since high school, and I've always dressed conservatively. Those men don't see-through clothes, so they can't see anything. Why would I get angry? You must have never had a boyfriend before, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten so angry."

"How did you know?" Jiang Yan asked, somewhat surprised.

"I've been through this, of course I know," Zhang Liqin said with a smile.

"Wait, something's not right." Suddenly, Jiang Yan frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Zhang Liqin asked, "What's wrong? Did something come to mind again? Is there a problem with the contract, or did you forget something at the company?"

"No, someone came to the house. Didn't you see the lights were on? And one bag of potato chips from the snacks I bought yesterday is missing from the table." Jiang Yan's expression turned serious. "I suspect a thief broke in."

"A thief wouldn't just steal a bag of potato chips from you," Zhang Liqin said, somewhat speechlessly. "Besides, there's nothing valuable in the house."

"Of course I have them! My cosmetics, bags, lipsticks, and dresses are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. They're all my hard-earned savings." Jiang Yan said, "No, I have to go upstairs and check."

As she spoke, she hurriedly ran upstairs.

But before she even reached the next floor, Jiang Yan saw Yang Jian walking down the stairs, eating a bag of potato chips.

"Why are you only just getting back? I was thinking of discussing something with you. Did you go out to play again? Aren't you afraid of running into ghosts outside?"

Jiang Yan was overjoyed to see Yang Jian and rushed over to hug him tightly. "Yang Jian, you're finally back! Where have you been these past few days? Do you know how much I've missed you? I couldn't sleep at night because I missed you so much!"

"Don't say such mushy things in that coquettish tone. I think you're afraid of ghosts and can't sleep at night," Yang Jian.

One sentence struck a chord with Jiang Yan.

But how could she admit it? Without batting an eye, she coquettishly said, "No, it's not that. I really miss you. I want to sleep with you tonight, and no one can separate us."

Yang Jian looked at Zhang Liqin: "Has she been through something traumatic recently? Has she received timely treatment? Is she taking her medication regularly? Don't be stingy with money; I'm your boss, and I'll reimburse all expenses."

"She's perfectly healthy. You didn't encounter any danger on your business trip, did you?" Zhang Liqin's eyes flickered slightly, and she stared at him with a mature woman's charm.

"Same as always, nothing serious, just almost died," Yang Jian said casually.

He almost died?

Yang Jian spoke of this matter of life and death with remarkable ease.

"Don't scare me, you know I'm easily frightened," Jiang Yan said, sounding a little scared.

Yang Jian, "Don't you know my situation? It's perfectly normal for me to die by accident one day, isn't it? Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys definitely aren't interested in paranormal events anyway, and talking about them will only give you nightmares. How's it going here lately? Don't you have any work to report to me?"

"Of course I am. I was just angry about what you did." Jiang Yan's mood immediately soured.

"Let's talk on the sofa," Yang Jian.

As soon as she sat down, Jiang Yan took a document out of the coffee table drawer. "Take a look at this first."

"I don't understand this, Zhang Liqin, you tell me." Yang Jian wasn't looking at the documents; he had just finished recording the files and didn't want to look at these documents now.

Zhang Liqin smiled and said, "This is the transfer agreement for Shangtong Building. It's a reward from Dachang City for you solving the previous paranormal incident. Jiang Yan and I have been running errands for you these past few days, and we haven't slacked off at all."

"An entire building? You're really something. That's a landmark building in Dachang City, and it was only built a few years ago. I even organized a car show there when I was a salesman."

As she spoke, an expression of admiration appeared on her face.

"It's just a building, nothing special. After all, I risked my life for Dachang City," Yang Jian said, not caring about the value of a building.

After all, he now owns half of the Guangjiang Residential Area.

The money issue has been largely resolved; the remaining problems cannot be solved with money.

"Once you sign here, this building is yours. Jiang Yan and I will handle the rest of the formalities." Zhang Liqin opened the document, pointed to a blank space on the contract, and then took a pen from her coat pocket.

Yang Jian didn't take the pen. He chuckled softly and said, "How long do you think this building will stay in my hands after I sign this name?"

"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Yan blinked, somewhat confused.

Yang Jian was actually hesitant about this business opportunity that would net him a building for free. Hadn't he always valued money above all else?

Yang Jian, "People like me don't live long. If I want to have some security in the future, I need to put some assets in the hands of people who can live longer. Only in this way will my family and relatives be taken care of. Otherwise, once I die, it's a question whether these things can be left behind, not to mention that they might bring trouble."

"So, who do you plan to transfer this to?" Jiang Yan asked.

Yang Jian shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's discuss it tomorrow. I just got back today and I'm a bit tired. I'm going to wash up and go to bed. By the way, has Zhang Hua contacted me recently?"

The liaison in Dachang City is Zhang Hua, who will definitely contact me if there are any paranormal events.

"No, he hasn't come for several days. He only came once after you left because of the Shangtong Building incident," Jiang Yan said, shaking her head.

"That's for the best. His absence means that Dachang City is safe and sound. His arrival would mean that something has gone wrong," Yang Jian.

The previous deduction was correct; after the Starvation Ghost Incident ended, Dachang City became exceptionally safe, and no more paranormal events are expected to occur in the near future.

"By the way, I'm planning to hold a meeting tomorrow. Jiang Yan, please inform Zhang Wei, his father Zhang Xiangui, as well as Wang Shanshan's family and Zhang Han. I want to take this opportunity to handle some matters. Also, the meeting will be held at Shangtong Building." Yang Jian pointed to the documents in his hand.

"When is the meeting?" Jiang Yan asked.

Yang Jian, "Nine o'clock in the morning."

"Okay, I'll call and contact them tonight," Jiang Yan nodded.

"I'm going to bed," Yang Jian said before turning and going upstairs.

After he left, Jiang Yan immediately got busy again. She had to call each person one by one, and for those who hadn't left their phone numbers, she had to go out and knock on their doors in person.

She always took the tasks assigned by Yang Jian very seriously, because she knew very well that this was where her value lay.

"Aren't you coming with me?" Jiang Yan asked as she was about to leave.

Zhang Liqin shook her head and said, "I'm not going. This is such a small matter, why would it take two people? I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. I've been running around all day and I don't want to run around anymore."

After Jiang Yan left, she got up and returned to her room.

After taking a shower, she didn't go to sleep, but instead tiptoed to a room on the fifth floor.

She knocked on the door; "Yang Jian, are you there?"

"What is it?" Yang Jian's voice came from inside.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Zhang Liqin, her face slightly flushed, walked in with a seductive air. Seeing Yang Jian leaning against the bed, writing something down with a pen, she skillfully slipped under the covers and lay down next to the man.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Zhang Liqin urged softly when she saw that the man next to her didn't react.

Yang Jian glanced at her. "Go to sleep later."

Zhang Liqin said, "There were some things I couldn't say downstairs earlier, and I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"What is it?" Yang Jian asked without looking up.

"Can you sell me a few apartments? I want my relatives to move into this neighborhood," Zhang Liqin said.

"How many sets do you want? I'll have Jiang Yan send them to you later," Yang Jian said after thinking for a moment.

Zhang Liqin glared at her and said, "I still have some savings. If you give me a little more of your salary in advance, I can afford it. What's the point of you giving it to me as a gift? Are you trying to keep me as a mistress? Even if you do, I won't agree."

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just think your savings aren't enough to buy one," Yang Jian. "Didn't Jiang Yan tell you about the housing prices here?"

"I didn't ask, but didn't the bulletin board in the community say 9,800?" Zhang Liqin said.

Yang Jian smiled; "That was before the incident. Now that there's been a paranormal event, the property prices in Guangjiang Residential Area are much higher than that."

How much is it now?

"We're holding back the sale now. If we really have to sell, I'll have Zhang Xiangui set a price of one million," Yang Jian.

"One million per set?"

"No, it's one square meter."

Yang Jian said, "Some rich people have heard rumors and want to take advantage of me to live here and have me protect them. It's not that easy. How can I not rip them off?"

Zhang Liqin was both embarrassed and anxious. "You might as well just rob it! You're asking for 100 million for a house, even if you sell it, I still can't afford it."

"The house price is only worth one million, but security is worth far more. I'm not selling houses, I'm selling security services. From now on, there will be no paranormal events in this community. Even if they do occur, I can protect everyone's safety immediately because my Ghost Domain can instantly cover the entire community. If necessary, I can move everyone in the community to a safe place."

"You think I shouldn't have sold it at such a high price?"

Yang Jian looked at her with a half-smile, "There are plenty of rich people in this world, and I make my money off them. As for you, I think you're quite valuable. I saved you three times, and based on my rescue fees, you're worth at least several billion now."

"I never imagined I was worth so much." Zhang Liqin rolled her eyes. "Then you should give me a few houses, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my family. But I don't have any money. If you want people, I can give you some."

"With your high net worth, it's definitely more cost-effective to hire someone," Yang Jian said seriously.

Zhang Liqin was deeply moved, and her gaze towards Yang Jian softened considerably.

But Yang Jian said, "How high can the construction cost of the house be? If I set a high price, I can legitimately deduct it from your salary gradually, which is equivalent to gaining an employee for free, and with a lifetime contract at that. It's a win-win situation."

"You're actually giving me a piece of the mind?" Zhang Liqin, who had been somewhat touched, immediately rolled her eyes.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to sleep." Yang Jian put down his notebook.

"We should have gone to sleep long ago." Zhang Liqin reached out and turned off the light.

She was becoming more and more used to living with Yang Jian.
