Chapter 239: Chapter 160: Celestial Paradise 2
After taking care of these matters, Gao Yuan didn’t linger at the company and left the building directly.
He had a contract to sign soon to acquire the Platinum Palace.
This time, Gao Yuan didn’t hide anything from Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing, driving them straight to the Platinum Palace.
Before setting out, he had given Old Si a heads-up, asking him to inform his boss that they would meet at the Platinum Palace.
The reason he had Old Si pass on the message was mainly to give him a leg up.
A simple gesture from him could bring Old Si significant benefits and earn his gratitude. What was not to like?
Today, the Platinum Palace had completely suspended its operations.
The only car in the parking lot was Pan Daming’s Mercedes-Benz. He had cleared his schedule for the day, waiting only for Gao Yuan to arrive and sign the contract.
When Gao Yuan got out of the car with Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing, Old Si was stunned.
He had always assumed that Gao Yuan frequently came to the Platinum Palace to see Xiaoyan because he didn’t have a girlfriend.
But now, Gao Yuan was accompanied by two stunning beauties, each with a completely different aura. Neither of them could be compared to Xiaoyan.
While Xiaoyan was beautiful, she lacked a certain air about her. She was merely pretty.
"Brother Gao, which of these two is the missus?"
Old Si stepped forward to greet Gao Yuan and asked in a low voice.
"They both are."
Gao Yuan’s reply was frank and open, without a hint of concealment.
"A warm welcome to you both!"
Old Si froze again for a moment, but he quickly recovered and shouted a greeting directly at Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.
This actually made the two women very happy, mainly because of Gao Yuan’s comment that they both were.
This time, Old Si led Gao Yuan directly to Pan Daming’s office on the third floor.
After they sat down, Pan Daming handed Gao Yuan the contract his lawyer had drafted.
Gao Yuan took it, glanced over it briefly, and placed it on the table.
He could understand contracts, but for one involving hundreds of millions, he had to be more cautious.
That’s why he was waiting for Ling Yue to come and take a look.
While they were making small talk, Old Si brought Ling Yue up. Gao Yuan wasted no time and handed her the contract directly.
Ling Yue, as swift and decisive as ever, nodded at Gao Yuan and began to review it.
As she examined it, she actually found some issues and immediately took out a pen to make corrections on the document.
A short while later, after she finished her edits, she walked over to Gao Yuan and explained each of her changes. Pan Daming was listening in as well.
The issues Ling Yue pointed out weren’t matters of principle, so Pan Daming had no objections and amended the contract accordingly.
After the contract was signed, Gao Yuan immediately had Si Xue initiate the transfer.
The down payment was one hundred million, and the remainder would be credited to Pan Daming’s company account by the end of January.
This meant that from this moment on, the Platinum Palace belonged to Gao Yuan.
After receiving the transfer from Yuanfang Company, Pan Daming bid Gao Yuan a prompt farewell.
He had already taken everything he was supposed to from the Platinum Palace; what remained was all part of the deal.
After Pan Daming left, Gao Yuan immediately made another call to Si Xue.
He needed Si Xue to come over and handle the financial transition. Although this place would have its own independent accounting in the future, someone still needed to maintain overall control.
Ling Yue, however, had not left yet. After Gao Yuan finished his call, she looked at him and said, "President Gao, has Yuanfang considered forming a group company?"
"Not at the moment!"
Gao Yuan rejected Ling Yue’s proposal outright.
Yuanfang was still in its infancy. It had only been around for a short while, yet she was already suggesting it become a group company.
There was simply no need for it, and besides, Gao Yuan didn’t want to make himself a bigger target.
"However, I am quite interested in the law firm side of things."
"If I wanted to establish a law firm, I wonder if Senior Lawyer Ling would be willing to join?"
Although Gao Yuan had rejected Ling Yue’s proposal to form Yuanfang Group, he suddenly remembered that he still had an unused Talent Card.
Moreover, the mission to obtain that Talent Card had been triggered by Ling Yue herself. Clearly, she was considered a talent by the system.
Ling Yue also rejected Gao Yuan’s invitation.
Yuanfang Company was impressive, but it was still a fledgling enterprise.
Her suggestion for Gao Yuan to establish a group company was actually made from the perspective of providing legal aid to Yuanfang Company.
If Gao Yuan wanted to start a law firm, she currently had no interest in joining.
As an extremely rational person, she wouldn’t do something that seemed pointless.
Soon, Ling Yue took her leave.
Gao Yuan wasn’t disappointed by Ling Yue’s refusal. He had only been testing the waters. If it worked out, great. If not, that was perfectly normal too.
He waited for Si Xue to arrive with her team and instructed her to audit the finances of the Platinum Palace and the hotel upstairs as quickly as possible. Afterward, Gao Yuan called Old Si over for a chat.
"Old Si, I’m planning to renovate the Platinum Palace."
"The changes won’t be major, and it will take a month. During this month, you’ll need to hire a new batch of employees. Of course, the exceptional technicians should be kept on."
"Can you handle that?"
Gao Yuan handed Old Si a cigarette, and the two of them spoke while they smoked.
"I can, it’s just..."
Old Si hesitated as he spoke, but Gao Yuan cut him off before he could finish.
"Are you really going to play these games with me?"
Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Old Si.
Old Si was capable, but he was a bit too slick. Or perhaps, his vision was just too narrow.
"I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I guarantee it’ll be no problem."
