Chapter: 4652

Ye Chen asked: "Aside from the shops on either side, is there a road in the middle? How do you plan to build a commercial center?"

Liu Jiahui chuckled and said: "Actually, everything is already in motion. That road is quite narrow to begin with, and by evening it's almost entirely taken over by street vendors, almost losing its function as a municipal road. So I've been communicating with the planning department - all I need to do is commit to investing ten billion Hong Kong dollars to tear down and rebuild a new municipal road in the southern part of the small eatery zone, and then when we're building the commercial center, we'll leave a pedestrian tunnel on the underground level and add escalators at either end. This project will be approved."

As he was speaking, Liu Jiahui added: "I'm investing in a municipal road, and then building a pedestrian tunnel. By the time we're done, I can even connect it to the nearby MTR station by digging out an underground passageway from the commercial center's underground level. At that point, this will be a commercial center with extremely convenient transportation - limitless potential!"

Ye Chen furrowed his brow slightly and said: "That street seems very important to Miss Manjun, so if we redevelop it, she'll likely have a hard time accepting it."

Liu Jiahui was taken aback for a moment before laughing: "I've had plenty of dealings with women - they're just more emotional than men. Most women are naturally sentimental, which is their greatest weakness. That's why most wealthy men in this world are actually men - because only those who can be rational and calm can make a fortune in the business world."

Ye Chen felt a bit more disdain for Liu Jiahui inside, responding with a hint of coolness: "For Miss Manjun, that place is her spiritual haven. To earn money by tearing it down seems somehow incongruous..."

"Heartened by Ye Chen's question, Liu Jiahui laughed and said: 'Mr. Ye, Miss Manjun is a kid who has never been in love.'"

Ye Chen furrowed his brow and asked: "What does that have to do with you planning to demolish Xiaji Street?"

Liu Jiahui hastened to explain: "You see, Mr. Ye, although Miss Manjun is now 24 years old and should be marrying soon, she's still stuck in a state of emotional blankness because she's never been in love. She's always lingering around Xiaji Street, hanging out with those street vendors, which shows that there's a void in her emotional life. And to fill this void, she relies on reminiscing about her mother.'"

Liu Jiahui looked at Ye Chen with deep meaning and said: "In reality, the best approach is to let her mature quickly and truly fall in love. Once she starts loving someone, the void in her emotional life will be filled by that person. At that time, Xiaji Street won't be so important to her.'"

Ye Chen snickered: "Mr. Liu, I've heard Miss Manjun say that Xiaji Street is your gift to her. In a strict sense, it's her property. If you want to tear it down and redevelop it, shouldn't you consult with her?""

Liu Jiahui detected Ye Chen's intention to defend Miss Manjun and was pleased rather than upset.

He looked at Ye Chen with great sincerity and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Ye. I will definitely seek Miss Manjun's consent on this matter. And I won't plan to demolish it immediately. It would be best to wait until she finds her ideal match and starts her own life before seeking her opinion again."

As he spoke, Liu Jiahui deliberately sounded very serious: "Furthermore, I've already planned that when the time comes, all my shares at the center will be used as Miss Manjun's dowry. Whoever marries her will become the boss of this place!"

Ye Chen smiled and remained silent.

He felt that Liu Jiahui's words were probably meant for him alone to hear, that he had already made up his mind and would carry out his plan regardless of whether Miss Manjun agreed or not.

However, Ye Chen didn't say anything else, because Liu Jiahui was now full of enthusiasm, but he would teach him how to be a person in the afternoon.

At that time, he would definitely make an appointment with him and get him to promise not to go against Miss Manjun's opinions on the handling of Little Eat Street.

Subsequently, the team entered Liu Jiahui's self-owned office building.

Liu Jiahui warmly invited Ye Chen to enter his own elevator and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the largest entertainment company in Hong Kong is located in this building. Their CEO, Yang Tiansheng, has a very good relationship with me. If you're interested in getting to know him, I can let him come up here and we can have tea together."

As he spoke, Liu Jiahui gave Ye Chen a knowing look and said: "At least half of the female celebrities on Hong Kong's island are signed under Yang Tiansheng's company. If you show any interest, I can introduce them to you as well."

To Liu Jiahui, he himself was a master of sowing discord, so even if he hoped Ye Chen would be his future son-in-law, he still felt that true men should be carefree and natural, with multiple women being just a trivial matter.

However, Ye Chen had no interest in Hong Kong's female celebrities, looked coldly at Liu Jiahui, shook his head, and said: "No need to introduce me, Mr. Liu. I've heard enough about the entertainment circle's gossip. As for me, Ye Chen, I won't say anything that would sully my reputation or deliberately jump into a pit."

Liu Jiahui was taken aback by these words, realizing that Ye Chen must not look up to the female celebrities in the entertainment circle, and he had accidentally flattered Ye Chen, making him feel embarrassed.

At this moment, the elevator indicated it had reached the top floor, followed by the door opening. Liu Jiahui warmly said: "Come on, Mr. Ye, please follow me to my office." JrNovels.com
