Wen Meiyun was not alone; just like Gu Han, she also brought a young girl, around thirteen or fourteen years old, who was glaring fiercely at Gu Han. The girl's facial features were almost a carbon copy of her mother's, as if she were a younger version of Wen Meiyun. The two of them sitting together looked like a pair of sisters.
"Mr. Gu Han, I presume! Hello, I am Wen Meiyun!" Seeing Gu Han arrive, Wen Meiyun quickly stood up and shook his hand... What a smooth and delicate hand, it felt like touching a piece of silk!
"Hello, I am Gu Han. I'm sorry to trouble you today!" Gu Han forced a smile, hoping that Qingpin would show some consideration and not make things too expensive.
"Mr. Gu Han, please don't be so formal. By the way, this is my daughter, Xiaoya... Xiaoya, quickly greet Uncle!" Compared to her mother, who was somewhat fawning towards Gu Han, Xiaoya seemed particularly principled, glaring at Gu Han as if he were their father's killer.
This made the situation a bit awkward. To ease the tension, Wen Meiyun quickly called a waiter to take their order. However, when it came to ordering, Wen Meiyun seemed very hesitant... After a long while, she only ordered a couple of small dishes and a few bowls of rice for herself and her daughter. Then she handed the menu to Gu Han, indicating that he should order freely.
"Let's start with ten pounds of Dongpo meat!" After lunch, Qingpin had told Gu Han that Dongpo meat was the best, and no other meat could compare. Considering Qingpin's appetite of over a hundred pounds per meal, Gu Han only ordered ten pounds, which was already very considerate of Wen Meiyun.
However, when Wen Meiyun heard Gu Han order ten pounds, her face turned pale, and she was at a loss for words. Her daughter Xiaoya was about to jump up and do something, but fortunately, Wen Meiyun quickly held her down and whispered, "It's okay, it's okay, Mom still has enough money..."
Gu Han noticed all of Wen Meiyun's actions. Didn't she have a million? Why was she acting so frugal?
"Ms. Wen, it's because Qingpin has a very large appetite that I ordered so much. If we reach an agreement, the cost of this meal will be included in your purchase. If not, I'll have Song Hama pay you back in a few days."
Although Wen Meiyun repeatedly said it was fine and that she would cover the cost, Gu Han's words still made her face much more pleasant, and even Xiaoya's gaze was less hostile.
Soon, the ten pounds of Dongpo meat arrived. Seeing the meat, Qingpin jumped out of Gu Han's baby bag and sat on the table, eating with large bites... This glutton had already developed such bad manners in just one day!
Qingpin's gluttonous behavior surprised Wen Meiyun and her daughter, and it also made Gu Han feel very embarrassed. He waved his hand, "Forget it, let her eat. We'll discuss our business!"
"Sure, sure, no problem!" Wen Meiyun nodded repeatedly. She had come to see Gu Han to resolve the citizenship issue as soon as possible.
"I heard from Song Hama that you have a million!" Gu Han asked first. Wen Meiyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded, confirming that she indeed had a million.
Gu Han continued, "Alright, since you've been planning to buy citizenship, you must be more aware of the black market prices than I am. The black market is selling citizenship for 600,000 each, and there are already over twenty spots listed, but there are no buyers. I'm not being unreasonable by asking for 1.2 million for two spots. However, since you came through Song Hama, I'm willing to consider it. I can sell you two spots for 1 million, but I have some questions."
"Please ask, I will answer truthfully!" Wen Meiyun nodded vigorously. The two spots for 1 million from Gu Han were indeed a great deal, and such an opportunity might not come again.
"First, I want to confirm that you have no criminal records or negative contributions. I don't want to sell my spots to people who have done nothing for humanity and even harm society." Gu Han took a sip of water.
"Understood, understood!" Wen Meiyun tapped her personal terminal against Gu Han's, and a large amount of data was transferred to his terminal. Gu Han glanced at it and saw that Wen Meiyun had no criminal records and a social contribution score of 24,000 points.
This was a significant contribution score, although it was far from the 500,000 points required for free citizenship, it still surpassed 95% of the population.
"Good, no issues with the contribution score!" Gu Han nodded. Although Wen Meiyun had a noblewoman's demeanor, her gentle nature was also very evident, and she didn't seem like someone who would do bad things.
"Second, I want to confirm that you really only have one million! And no other assets. I don't want to be a fool!" Gu Han said straightforwardly, fearing that she might be pretending to have only 1 million to gain his sympathy and save 200,000. It wasn't impossible.
"Understood, understood!" Wen Meiyun tapped her personal terminal against Gu Han's again, granting him access to her financial account. There was a little over 1 million in cash, but there were also three properties listed under her name.
However, these properties were already in the process of being seized and auctioned off, indicating that the bank had reclaimed them and was auctioning them. This was likely due to debt. Once the auction was complete, these properties would have no relation to Wen Meiyun.
"Are you bankrupt?" Seeing the properties being auctioned, Gu Han asked casually. Seeing Wen Meiyun's face stiffen, he didn't press the issue further, as no one likes to talk about their bankruptcy.
"Third and final question. Why do you want to go to the core area? With one million, you can live a very happy life in the ordinary area until your daughter grows up. But if you spend all your money to enter the core area, where will you live? The cheapest house in the core area costs millions, and the rent is thousands per month. You might not be able to afford it!" Gu Han asked, thinking that the core area was only safer, and it wasn't worth sacrificing your quality of life, let alone your ability to survive.
"Because... because..." Wen Meiyun hesitated for a long time before finally biting her lip and answering, "Because some men are relentlessly pursuing me and my daughter, wanting me to be their mistress! They have a lot of power. We are already bankrupt and can't fight them, so I want to move to the core area to avoid their harassment and protect my daughter and me."
"I see!" Gu Han nodded. Given Wen Meiyun's beauty and mature charm, it was normal for her to be harassed. She seemed to be a pitiful woman, and he hoped the core area would give her the security she needed.
"Alright, it seems that Ms. Wen's situation is indeed difficult. I, Gu Han, may not be generous, but I'm not stingy. I agree to sell you the two citizenship spots for 1 million RMB."
Gu Han's words made Wen Meiyun extremely grateful. She left her seat, walked to Gu Han, and held his hand, repeatedly thanking him. She seemed to have no other words to express her gratitude.
Gu Han helped Wen Meiyun back to her seat and smiled, "1 million is not a cheap price. After you enter the core area, you need to work hard to earn money, or life there might be even worse. If you have any trouble, you can contact me. Since I'm the one leading you in, I can help with small issues."
Gu Han's warm words made Wen Meiyun even more grateful. Her daughter Xiaoya's gaze also lost its hostility... In fact, she was staring at Qingpin, who was eating voraciously, as if she couldn't stop the saliva from flowing.
"Xiaoya, stop staring and eat!" Wen Meiyun noticed her daughter's gaze and quickly instructed her to stop making impolite gestures and eat properly. However, a bowl of rice with just a few strips of radish and potato was not enough to satisfy Xiaoya's appetite.
"Mom, I want to eat meat!" Xiaoya said softly, "I haven't had meat for almost a year. I just want one piece to taste it!"
Wen Meiyun felt a pang of sorrow. Her daughter, who had been raised as a rich girl, now couldn't even afford a piece of meat. She didn't know how to feel!
Gu Han heard Xiaoya's words. The girl was indeed pitiful. He thought for a moment, then forcibly took a piece of untouched Dongpo meat from Qingpin's plate and placed it in Xiaoya's bowl. "Eat it, this piece is from your big brother!"
"Thank you, big brother!" The girl said sweetly and quickly put the meat in her mouth, chewing it in large bites. As she chewed, she muttered, "The chef's Dongpo meat is so sweet it hurts my teeth. My mom's is a thousand times better!"
This child, criticizing the chef while eating the food. No wonder she hasn't had meat for a year.
"Mr. Gu Han, my daughter was impolite!" Wen Meiyun gave Gu Han an apologetic look. Gu Han waved his hand, "Ms. Wen, you should eat too. This meal is on me, and it will be included in the 1 million. Don't worry, eat up!"
As the atmosphere between them became increasingly friendly, and the story seemed to be heading towards a perfect ending, an unexpected event occurred.
"Boss, it's here! I saw that woman and her daughter come in here!"
"Great! Rich enough to eat Chanel, but not rich enough to pay debts! Brothers, follow me, let's kill this shameless woman!"
A group of rough, disheveled men, armed with wooden clubs and iron rods, rushed into the Chanel restaurant, causing all the diners to look at them in shock. Their target was clearly Wen Meiyun.
