Chapter 2389: 2203: Hot Spring Discovered at the Villa

It can only be said that Ye Qiu is even wealthier than he imagined."Boss Zhong, why don’t you take charge of the business on my end? Besides an annual salary of ten million, you’ll also receive a one percent share of the profits. How about that?" Ye Qiu looked at Boss Zhong and said.

After all, Boss Zhong has been here for such a long time and knows Russian. Entrusting him with the business will definitely be better than anyone else.

He couldn’t possibly bring someone over from home, could he?

"Me? I’m afraid I may not have the ability," Boss Zhong said.

Although the mammoth ivory business isn’t bad, the recent virus pandemic has cast a shadow, and it’s unclear when things will get better.

So, it’s hard to say how this industry will turn out.

But the timber business is definitely booming for sure.

One percent of the profits, if it’s one million, he’d earn ten thousand; if it’s ten million, he’d have one hundred thousand; one hundred million would be one million.

This doesn’t seem like much!

However, after all these years of hard work, he’s only accumulated two or three hundred million in assets.

Now, with Ye Qiu, besides the ten million annual salary, there’s also a one percent profit share.

That’s already very high.

"Just do as I say, and besides, when it comes to furniture design and orders, they should mostly be from home, with a set of furniture ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and it will definitely be very profitable."

"Ye Qiu, no need to say more. I’ll do it, just give me that one percent profit, no need for that ten million annual salary."

Boss Zhong laughed.

Let’s just settle it simply for now.

And that’s that for this matter.

Ye Qiu will first use the timber business as a starting point to see how business goes over here and then make further investments.

Actually, his trust in the folks over here isn’t very high.

As for Liliya and her father, and that officer Peter, although they have some connections, business is business, and it’s quite hard to say.

Liliya looked at Ye Qiu and said, "My father knows you don’t like Russian food, so we’ve invited two Chinese chefs."

"Really? So what’s for lunch?"

Thinking about that terrible Russian food, Ye Qiu would rather have a burger.

"What do you think?"

"Hotpot, seafood feast, whatever works."

Ye Qiu said.

As Liliya went to have a lavish lunch prepared, Boss Zhong could only sit in the living room.

He didn’t know that quite a few people had just died here the previous night.

If he knew, he might have felt a bit of an emotional burden.

Ye Qiu pulled Zhou Wenting aside and said, "How about we go soak in the hot springs?"

"Going there again?"

"What? You don’t want to go?"

"Let’s go then."

Zhou Wenting really liked soaking in hot springs; she just felt the place was a bit gloomy.

She didn’t quite like it here.

Upon reaching the hot spring pool, the two maids Ye Qiu had saved before were very grateful to him. If Zhou Wenting weren’t here, the two women would have been even more affectionate towards Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting went inside, tested the water temperature, and then took off their clothes to get in, when Ye Qiu’s phone rang—it was a call from Cai Yong back home.

"Qiu Bro, it’s me. Where are you?"

"I’m soaking in a hot spring in Siberia."

Siberia?

When did Qiu Bro run off to that godforsaken place?

It’s getting colder in Jinling, not to mention Siberia.

"Qiu Bro, I have some good news for you."

Good news?

"What good news?"

"It’s about that mountain estate you rented some time ago."

Mountain estate?

Ye Qiu remembered going there with Zhou Wenting for a meal and having Cai Yong take over the estate temporarily.

"How’s that mountain estate?"

"We’ve accidentally discovered several natural hot springs on the top of the hill at the estate."

Natural hot springs?

Are there hot springs there?

Isn’t that a goldmine?

Although there are some hot springs near Jinling, they’re still rare in Jiangbei.

Besides, many hot spring resorts now use artificial hot water instead of actual hot springs.

Unexpectedly, there really are hot springs there.

"Do other people know about this?"

"No, only a few of us are aware; no one else knows."

"Great, have people fence off all the surrounding land. As for the price, as long as it’s reasonable, we shouldn’t take advantage of the villagers. We need to secure a fifty-year lease. Of course, it’s best to sign a contract with both the town and district governments as well."

"Got it, Qiu Bro."

Cai Yong thought Ye Qiu was quite remarkable, always finding opportunities wherever he went.

And it was just from having a meal; who would have thought they’d discover a mountain estate with hot springs?

If the original owner knew there were hot springs, they’d never sell it to Ye Qiu.

After hanging up, Zhou Wenting asked, "What’s making you so happy?"

"Didn’t I say I was gifting that mountain estate to you in Jinling? We just found hot springs nearby, isn’t that something to be happy about?"

"Found hot springs?"

Even Zhou Wenting couldn’t believe it.

There are indeed hot springs in Jinling, but not many.

So, being told there are hot springs there really surprised Zhou Wenting.

And since it’s a gift from Ye Qiu to her, that makes it even more valuable.

"Did you know about this all along?"

"I didn’t notice such a small detail; Cai Yong just called to say they found out during a site inspection. If the previous owner knew, they’d regret it for sure."

"Of course. If there are hot springs, it’s more than just a mountain estate. It could be a hot spring resort, with villas, making it much more valuable. You promised it to me, so don’t give it to another woman."

"Of course, what I promised is what I’ll deliver. It’s your gift."

"I love you, Ye Qiu,"

Zhou Wenting said, a bit emotionally.

Although Zhou Wenting has considerable assets thanks to her parents’ shares in the Zhou Dabao Jewelry Group, this is a gift from Ye Qiu, which makes it different.

"Dr. Ye, I still haven’t figured where you guys are?" Liliya’s voice came from outside.

When Liliya came in and saw Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting being so close, she felt a bit uneasy for some reason, even though she already guessed they were a couple.

"I’m soaking in the hot spring. Do you want to join us?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Me?"

Liliya seemed a bit embarrassed.

However, she didn’t seem to refuse.

As she slowly took off her dress, revealing her milky white skin and slender figure, her long legs made Zhou Wenting envious.

In this aspect, Liliya was indeed very beautiful, more so than Peter’s sister.

Liliya tested the water temperature before slowly entering the hot spring pool.
