Chapter 777: Chapter 326 Susu is so good, Chen Nuanhan has to take full responsibility!_2

In his past life, up until he graduated from university, Gu Jiuyue was always that deity who rarely showed her face, seldom smiled, and had little interaction with the outside world.

But now, Su Huai’s treatment was remarkably effective.

Just for that alone, old Gu, no matter how many Gold Coins you throw at me, I have every reason to keep them...

Su Huai’s mind whirred back and forth, quickly brewing up an answer.

"She, ah, is someone who really likes to put on airs, someone with a real Goddess demeanor."

"Not at all."

Little Gu shook his head, expressing disagreement.

Su Huai spread his hands, "Anyway, in my heart that’s how it is, as for why there’s such a big change now... it must be because she finally encountered a Goddess who can suppress her in every aspect, and she’s decided to concede~~~"

When it comes to flattery, Gou Huai is a professional.

Gu Jiuyue’s mouth corners twitched to suppress a smile, she laughed sheepishly, and her gaze at Gou Huai nearly melted.

"I like it when you flatter me, keep it up, yo~"

"Of course, don’t mention it."

Gou Huai gave a mock salute with two fingers at his brow, saucy like a top celebrity.

"Dizzy, you’re so silly..."

Gu Gu muttered how silly while the fondness and tenderness in her eyes were undeniable; who acts like this with their good friend?

Gou Huai wore a wicked smile, and out of nowhere he suddenly burst into song, "When the sorghum ripens, the sky turns red; I, the fool, will take you home..."

"Pfft!"

Little Gu was unprepared and almost burst out laughing, then she wrapped her arms around his, pressing her whole body against him.

"You’re crazy~~~"

Gou Huai continued confidently, "Just be glad, I only act youthful around you..."

That statement was actually quite true; Su Huai had a super handsome face full of collagen but his overall demeanor and way of doing things lacked youthful vibes, most of the time he was too steady.

Gu Jiuyue couldn’t help nodding and immediately corrected herself, "Seeing you jump around like this makes your sister feel relieved; keep this up, yo~~~"

"You’re nuts~~~"

Su Huai rolled his eyes, throwing her words right back at her.

Gu Jiuyue laughed until her face turned red, "Cut it out!"

Gou Huai patiently corrected, "No, no, learn from me: Cut it out, you~~~"

...

Youth is a headlong rush you don’t look back on, and Su Huai had already run past it, but he was willing to rerun that stretch with Gu Jiuyue.

And this was precisely the favoritism Little Gu felt.

Amid their play, they arrived at Professor Cheng’s place, had a happy lunch, and she didn’t bring up Chen Nuanhan again.

Su Huai had the first period off in the afternoon. On his way back to the dorms, he once again felt the warmth of his female upperclassmen’s enthusiasm.

"Handsome, give us an autograph, will you?"

"If you have time, come hang out~~~"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

That’s the way it is at teachers’ colleges, as long as three female upperclassmen get together and find a guy alone, they’d dare to tease even a teacher.

Su Huai waved his hand, hurrying past without daring to utter a word.

One must tread carefully in the martial arts world, as you can’t just respond to any come-on; giving them an opportunity to latch on would be utterly irresponsible to yourself.

But this time he was fine, "Moonlight" was a Japanese song, exclusively for Little Gu, not as heart-stirring as the last "If Love Has Consolation," and the flirty comments of the senior girls faded away quickly.

Su Huai walked briskly into the dorm building, where things instantly felt much more normal—everyone was calling out ’Brother Huai.’

Nowadays, he was the unique ’Bro’ in the whole building, even third-year seniors would greet him proactively.

Opening the dorm room door, a bunch of guys were in there shooting the breeze.

The lead joker was Sao Ji, with Chu Changkuo as his sidekick, and both had a bit of the Sky Gang vibe.

Hmm, Changkuo didn’t seem to be in high spirits; wonder what’s up this time.

Su Huai’s mind ticked, and he called him out to the balcony.

"Changkuo, I heard from Tang Xian’er that there’s been some trouble with your family’s business?"

Su Huai raised his hand and sold Tang Xian’er just like that, leaving Chu Changkuo completely astonished. His little expression morphed into a mix of shame and anger which looked rather awkward.

Gou Huai, eager to suck the blood from his family’s company, naturally couldn’t let the situation become embarrassing, so he chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Spending a night in the same room is no big deal for me to gloat over, but when it’s really serious, we are in this together—you are the future Brother Yi I’ve reserved for Xingyu after all!"

Chu Changkuo was too green, not even half as sly as Su Huai.

At his words, Chu Changkuo was both touched and conflicted, speaking with effort and deflating like a punctured balloon, "It’s not really a big deal... just, well, a small hitch... Uh, got played by the client."

Su Huai immediately shared his indignation, "I get it, I get it, these real estate developers are all the damn same. When they need you, they dare to promise anything, but once they’ve got you trapped, they’ll turn on you in a heartbeat, no decency at all."

"Yeah!"

Chu Changkuo slapped his thigh, profoundly moved.

"Our old man was on guard too, but when you’re in construction, you’re inherently at a disadvantage, impossible to completely shield yourself from it, sigh, tough indeed!"

Su Huai passed him a cigarette and asked bluntly, "Need money?"

"Yeah." Chu Changkuo didn’t hide it, pouring out his woes, "We’ve only started construction and most of the investment is from our side. Truthfully gritting our teeth isn’t impossible for finding more funds, but the developer’s attitude is too ambiguous, the old man just can’t feel certain..."

Su Huai caught on immediately.

There was trouble on the developer’s side, so Chu Changkuo’s family dared not throw more money into the pit, but they also couldn’t afford to stop construction. They were in a pickle.

In the real estate development industry, this kind of situation was all too common.

"Well, that’s simple, shall I help you make some calls?"

Su Huai put on an attitude of a big brother looking out for his little brother, casting his bait.

"No need, no need!" Chu Changkuo hurriedly waved his hand, "This isn’t a problem that can be fixed by applying pressure..."

Fine, he wasn’t stupid, which saved Su Huai a lot of trouble.

For a project like this that hadn’t run into real trouble yet, pressuring anyone would be useless. They have every excuse to moan and groan; they promise one thing while playing tricks behind the scenes—what can you do about it?

"So what do we do?" Su Huai furrowed his brow and continued acting, "Hm, find you some money?"

"Ah? Really?!"

Chu Changkuo looked up, a look of surprise and disbelief on his face.

"Psh, it’s not a big deal!" Su Huai slapped his shoulder, "Just ask your dad how much money you need and what interest rate you can handle. Then I’ll make the arrangements for you."

"Great, great, Huai, I can’t thank you enough, I’ll ask right away!"

Chu Changkuo was beside himself with excitement. He might suspect Su Huai’s motives, but he could not doubt Su Huai’s strength—did he not understand the worth of soft rice earned from the Gu Family?

The naive kid immediately called home, and his father demanded 1 billion in cash, offering only 8% interest.

Su Huai asked without showing any outward reaction, "8% for half a year?"

Flustered and stumbling over his words, Chu Changkuo replied, "One, one year... We’re just a secondary party; if the costs are too high, we can’t afford it."

"That’s problematic."

Su Huai shook his head, "Unless your family can provide full collateral... Why don’t you go back and check again?"

"Okay, this isn’t something that can be settled in a few words anyway. My family will definitely need to take a comprehensive look..."

"That makes sense." Su Huai totally understood, so he also asked for understanding, "The money I can bring in has costs too, and trust and such need to be established. No rush."

Su Huai wasn’t in a hurry, but Kuokuo was panicking, fidgeting in the dormitory for another 10 minutes before he rushed home.

Watching his retreating figure, Su Huai let out a slight chuckle.

Actually, the residential development of Baizhifang wasn’t very profitable. The average price was just over 80,000, and there wasn’t a serious price discrepancy between new and second-hand properties. Taking into account the land acquisition, resettlement costs, and capital expenses, there wasn’t much room left for profit.

But entering from the construction side was a different story, a net profit of 16% per annum, strictly adhering to lending principles. If the principal and interest couldn’t be paid on time, there would be penalty interest. If property was taken as debt payment, it was only about 60,000 per square meter.

Mid-course financing like this, in theory, could take the juiciest cut.

Earning 16% with cold hard cash flow equaled a solid 160 million.

When developers or contractors earned 16%, it was basically working for the employees and the government.

Of course, given Chu Changkuo family’s current situation, it was definitely not going to make 16%. With a bit of luck, they might cover Su Huai’s funding costs, but with a bit of bad luck...

They might just be played by this Gou Dongxi.

*********

These past few days have been frantic.

The book definitely has to be finished, regardless of which aspect is more profitable.
