Chapter 737 - 352: Secretary Li, Come to My Office!
Getting to know each other.
The few of them sat on the sofa, sipping the tea that Zhao Shuzhen had carefully brewed and chatting idly while munching on sunflower seeds.
"Xiao Jiang, you have no idea how tough it is to run a construction project now."
"Without advance funds, you don’t even qualify to take on a project."
"Putting the money in, you never know when you can see a return."
"On this side, I have dozens of workers who need to be paid monthly, along with various miscellaneous expenses."
"Jingjing’s mom and I together have 10 credit cards, and they’re still not enough for us to juggle."
"These days, making money is just too difficult!"
"If it weren’t for your help this time, my funding chain would have snapped instantly."
"In the future, forget about contracts; a bunch of skilled workers under me would be poached by others."
Talking about the difficulties of sealing a contract, He Minghai couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental.
For someone like him, without connections and with limited funds, being a small contractor was quite awkward.
All the projects he signed were handed down multiple times through layers of subcontracting.
The profits had been sliced multiple times by others.
Yet he bore all the financial risks.
Upwards, he had to curry favor with the main contractor.
Downwards, he had to appease a group of capable workers.
Being stuck in the middle, He Minghai truly found it challenging.
Of course, He Minghai could also earn four to five hundred thousand yuan a year.
In a small place like Ping County, that’s considered pretty decent.
But, all the money he earned was just on paper; the funds he could use were basically shuffled from credit cards.
This time, Jiang Tao helped him get over 6 million yuan from Longcheng Real Estate, greatly relieving his financial pressure.
Thus, towards Jiang Tao, he felt genuine gratitude.
After setting down his teacup, Jiang Tao said with a smile:
"Uncle He, I have a good relationship with President Bai of Baiyulan Hotel. When there’s an opportunity, I’ll introduce you."
"Sister Bai has a wide network; it might help Uncle He with future contracts."
"President Bai of Baiyulan Hotel?"
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, He Minghai widened his eyes in astonishment.
As a contractor making a living in Ping County, He Minghai naturally understood the significance of the name Baiyulan!
Which real estate company, big or small, in Ping County dares to show disrespect to Baiyulan?
He Minghai never even dreamed of connecting with Baiyulan!
Not exaggerating a bit, with Baiyulan’s connections, his annual income could multiply several times easily!
Jiang Tao smiled, "Does Uncle He know Sister Bai?"
He Minghai nodded eagerly:
"Know her, of course! Who in Ping County doesn’t know President Bai? The name is practically thunderous!"
"That’s really kind of you, Xiao Jiang. If we can connect with President Bai, even a brush of her fingers would be enough for us to be satisfied."
Zhao Shuzhen also looked gratefully at Jiang Tao, growing more and more satisfied with this "future son-in-law!"
"In the future, if you have any funding or other issues, feel free to call me. I might not have much, but three to fifty million is still possible."
Jiang Tao’s casual remark hit He Jing’s parents like a bolt from the blue!
Three to fifty million coming from Jiang Tao’s mouth seemed as easy as three to fifty thousand!
This is what you call being wealthy and powerful!
The fact that he could easily put up three to fifty million for them meant he likely had seven or eight million, maybe even over ten million, on hand!
With such capabilities, it’s hard to find rivals even in all of Ping County!
Especially since Jiang Tao still looked so young!
He’s got looks, a good physique, a gentle temperament, extensive networks, and plenty of money!
This kind of "son-in-law" is truly the legendary "golden son-in-law!"
He Minghai and Zhao Shuzhen naturally couldn’t find any faults, giving their full support!
He Jing, from Jiang Tao’s few simple words, also heard his affection and felt her importance to him.
These days, borrowing money between even blood brothers isn’t easy.
Brother Tao willing to offer her parents millions must be because of her.
At this moment, He Jing’s love for Jiang Tao deepened.
After chatting for over twenty minutes, He Jing’s parents asked her to keep Jiang Tao company while they returned to the kitchen.
"Brother Tao, want to check out my room? I have many childhood photos there."
He Jing playfully blinked her eyes, showing more infatuation as she looked at Jiang Tao.
"I must take a look."
Jiang Tao, smiling widely, got up and followed He Jing as she led him by the hand to her room.
He Jing’s room was decorated warmly, mainly in soft vanilla and light blue tones.
A few art prints adorned the walls, and the bookshelf was lined with books and adorable little decorations.
The air was filled with a subtle fragrance, similar to hers.
On the windowsill were several pots of greenery, and the sunlight streaming in made the space seem particularly peaceful and beautiful.
Click, click~
As Jiang Tao entered, glancing around at the arrangement, he heard two light sounds behind him.
Turning around, He Jing suddenly jumped, hanging onto him entirely, her red lips inching toward his mouth.
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart fonder.
Couples in love are even more intense than newlyweds separated for a short while.
Embracing each other, they slowly sank onto He Jing’s soft bed draped in pale pink sheets.
The room’s temperature seemed to climb steadily, with a romantic atmosphere gradually filling the air.
He Jing felt like a little boat in a storm, completely surrounded and guided by Jiang Tao’s breath and strength.
