Chapter 1307: Chapter 1053: A Moment of Impulse_2

"If the talks go well, or if he gets certain promises from Wang Ye, then his Yangtze Group will officially go to Moscow for investment."

Wang Ye nodded promptly without hesitation, "Let’s make it tomorrow afternoon then. I’ll be leaving Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow. I have long been aware of the renown of the Yangtze Group, a company with investments spread worldwide and with formidable strength."

This was not just flattery from Wang Ye, Superman Li’s capabilities were truly formidable, even though the fortune he made through real estate wasn’t earned in the most "conscientious" way.

But business is business, as long as it’s not illegal or against public order, making money is a skill.

On this point, Wang Ye held no prejudice against Superman Li.

Of course, he wouldn’t hold Superman Li in high esteem either; he simply regarded him as a pure businessman.

If the Yangtze Group were to invest in Moscow or the Crimea Peninsula, Wang Ye would welcome it and provide some corresponding assistance or preferential policies.

"That’s great, I’ll await Director Mikhail’s esteemed presence tomorrow afternoon, ha-ha."

Superman Li laughed heartily, somewhat surprised, as he hadn’t expected Wang Ye to agree so promptly.

After agreeing on a time, the two shook hands and went their separate ways.

..........

In the evening, Zhang Xiaoxi visited Wang Ye’s room again with her "excuse" being to discuss the specifics of acquiring Xiangjiang Real Estate.

Though for Wang Ye, it wasn’t a major investment, for Zhang Xiaoxi it was different.

The total investment amount could very well exceed a hundred billion Hong Kong Dollars!

She had to be extra cautious.

"Boss, these past two days I’ve looked up a lot of information on Central Xiangjiang office buildings, and the prices are truly steep.

Just any decent-looking office building could cost an investment of over ten or twenty billion, and there are very few up for sale, making it difficult even to get a glimpse of the recent transaction trends.

But it’s imaginable that, if someone did want to sell, the price tag would be astronomical.

One building might be worth twenty or thirty billion, or even more.

Such a high investment, will it truly be recoupable in the future?"

Zhang Xiaoxi said with a sigh.

Wang Ye smiled faintly, waving his hand, "The high price is normal, after all, the rental income is high too. Even if the overall environment is not strong right now, the annual rental income from those offices in Central is tens of billions of Hong Kong Dollars.

Based on this income, the return on investment isn’t too low.

Moreover, I think this time is the best moment to purchase Xiangjiang property. After all, when the overall environment isn’t great, those property owners might very likely need cash to fill in other gaps, and some who are not optimistic about Xiangjiang’s future might choose to cash out and leave the scene.

That’s when we would have the chance to acquire the property units that satisfy us.

If we wait until Xiangjiang’s economy turns around, or say the economic development of the Mainland spills over here, by then, nobody would want to let go of their premium Commercial Real Estate."

According to the situation known to Wang Ye from his past life, his current deduction was certainly without issues.

Only a few besides himself might have such a clear perspective on Xiangjiang and the overall environment.

Otherwise, Wang Ye wouldn’t have taken decisive action at this time and planned to invest a staggering amount to buy Xiangjiang property.

Zhang Xiaoxi nodded; although she wasn’t sure about the future trend of Xiangjiang real estate, she absolutely trusted Wang Ye’s judgment, because in the business aspect, Wang Ye’s decisions had been proven correct multiple times, absolutely infallible!

After all, the Boss is the Boss, his vision is always further than one’s own...

..........

Today, the two didn’t talk throughout the night, after all, they had talked for so long last night, and both had been busy all day; they weren’t superhuman, so they were quite tired.

When they had talked about enough, Wang Ye glanced at the time and casually said, "Xiao Xi, where are you staying? Why don’t you just stay here tonight?"

Zhang Xiaoxi’s heart skipped a beat, feeling her face start to heat up and her heartbeat quicken.

However, she feigned composure with a smile, "I don’t have the privilege of staying in this hotel, I’m staying at another Sheraton not far from here."

Because the hotel where Wang Ye was staying was only accommodating members attending the World Trade Conference these days and wasn’t open to the public, Zhang Xiaoxi wouldn’t have been able to book a room even if she had wanted to.

Her reply also deliberately skirted around the subject of "don’t leave tonight," because Zhang Xiaoxi didn’t know quite how to respond.

If Wang Ye really wanted her to stay, Zhang Xiaoxi felt that she probably wouldn’t refuse...

But she definitely couldn’t bring herself to say it; after all, as a girl, she was too shy!

Wang Ye nodded, then added, "Then don’t go back, it’s so late. Fortunately, my suite has two bedrooms, the other one is empty. You can make do for the night and go back in the morning."

So that’s what Wang Ye meant. While Zhang Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, a faint disappointment also stirred within...

The two of them took turns washing up and then bid each other goodnight before returning to their respective rooms to rest.

Wang Ye was genuinely tired and fell into a deep sleep shortly after lying down.

But Zhang Xiaoxi tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her mind filled with wild thoughts.

She pricked up her ears every now and then to listen for any sounds from outside her room; she hadn’t locked her bedroom door...

Unfortunately, there was no movement outside, and Zhang Xiaoxi sighed. She felt a sudden impulse, wondering if it would be better if she took the initiative...

But she lacked the courage, fearing that acting rashly might ruin the relationship she had with Wang Ye.

Don’t blame her for overthinking it; after all, men like Wang Ye really don’t come around often.

Even someone as excellent as Zhang Xiaoxi couldn’t help but have thoughts about him...

In fact, Zhang Xiaoxi was already being very restrained. They had been high school classmates, and to say she had feelings for Wang Ye back then might not be true; at most, she had a good impression of him.

After all, the Wang Ye of that time wasn’t particularly outstanding—aside from being handsome, whether in academics, talent, or character, he didn’t stand out much compared to a "favored daughter of the heavens" like Zhang Xiaoxi.

But no matter what, having that history naturally made them feel closer to each other.

After they reunited later on, as Zhang Xiaoxi got to know Wang Ye more deeply, she increasingly... adored and admired him, one could say.

It’s a normal feeling for an excellent girl to have toward a boy who’s many times more excellent than she is, and not surprising at all.

After several years, the fact that she had managed to refrain from breaking through that last barrier of intimacy meant Zhang Xiaoxi was indeed very rational and restrained.

Of course, she also knew that Wang Ye now had what was referred to as a fiancée, also apparently a very outstanding girl from a genuinely renowned family, equally holding a high position.

Zhang Xiaoxi had seen plenty of photos of Rossiyana and read related news, and she was well aware that a girl like Rossiyana should be Wang Ye’s best match.

As for herself, she really wasn’t a match for Wang Ye...

But though reason is one thing, feelings are another; her adoration for Wang Ye was beyond her own control.

Like now, she felt a strong urge to have something happen with Wang Ye.

Though she was aware there was unlikely to be any outcome between them, she wouldn’t regret it at all!

Just to have had that experience would already be a beautiful thing, and Zhang Xiaoxi didn’t dare hope for more...

After an indefinite amount of time, Zhang Xiaoxi, acting on impulse, got out of bed, draped in her nightgown, and tiptoed out of her room, coming to the door of Wang Ye’s bedroom.

She knew Wang Ye’s door probably wasn’t locked, because there was simply no need.

All she needed to do was reach out, turn the doorknob, and walk in, and perhaps her wish would be granted...

She could sense that Wang Ye also had a fondness for her, and if she really threw caution to the wind and threw herself at him, chances were Wang Ye wouldn’t refuse...

But standing in front of Wang Ye’s door for a long while, Zhang Xiaoxi ultimately didn’t gather enough courage to open that door.

After a long time, she quietly turned around, returned to her own room, and lay down again...
