As she followed him into the villa, she was thinking, and when she caught sight of Chairman Chen's smiling face, it looked very familiar. After trying to remember, she was suddenly startled!
He suddenly remembered that this Chairman Chen was none other than Chen Yuzhong, a top ten billionaire on the Forbes Rich List!
I gradually paid more attention to Chairman Chen, and the more I looked, the more certain I became. I had seen him many times in newspapers and on TV, but I had never met him in person. But once I saw him, I was immediately impressed. He was one of the top ten richest people in China. He was so enthusiastic towards Brother Hong. It seemed like it was more than just ordinary friendliness. Just who is Brother Hong?
If it's someone with that kind of power, then even if he takes Zhou Xuan back to the countryside, it won't make any difference!
A sense of unease crept into my heart. I couldn't figure out Wei Haihong's true intentions, and I had no idea how Zhou Xuan knew Brother Hong. I didn't know what their relationship was—was it based on mutual benefit or a boss-employee relationship? But it didn't seem like either. And the way Diwa acted didn't seem like he was working for Brother Hong at all.
The villas here are quite different from those in the north. They're fully furnished inside and out. After looking around the rooms, I can only describe them with four words: "Extremely luxurious!"
The first floor has a floor area of at least 450 square meters, with spacious rooms and a living room. There is also an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a maid's room, a kitchen, and a garage—a large four-car garage. There is also open space outside the villa for parking, and the private garden is a whopping 800 square meters!
The rooms on the second and third floors are decorated to five-star hotel standards; everyone was mesmerized. Living in a place like this, you'd be smiling in your sleep!
Zhou Xuan certainly liked it, but the price of this house was definitely different from the one in the north. The house had a better location, was bigger, and had twice the size of the garden. Moreover, the rooms were already decorated. The cost of such decoration would not be much less than the price of the house!
Wei Haihong looked at Zhou Xuan's face with some satisfaction, it seemed he still liked him, and asked Chairman Chen with a smile, "Old Chen, how much is this house?"
Chairman Chen smiled and gestured to Yang Wei with a spoon. Yang Wei didn't know what Chairman Chen meant, but since he didn't say it explicitly, she would just quote the actual price.
"The twelve villas on the south side were designed by our company with top-notch design, plans, and standards. The first floor area is 450 square meters, and the total area of the villas is 1,100 square meters. The private garden area is 800 square meters. Moreover, these twelve villas are not for public sale; they are used as model houses. The head office selects the applicants, mainly targeting top-tier celebrities in the film and television industry, or wealthy individuals from home and abroad, people with a certain level of influence, to increase the company's influence."
Yang Wei followed the company's decision-making procedures, and that's exactly what was done. These twelve villas were the result of a great deal of effort, with the aim of enhancing the company's influence.
Yang Wei glanced at Chairman Chen again. Seeing that he didn't seem displeased, she continued, "The company's internal price is 58,888 yuan per square meter. The price per unit for these twelve villas is the same, which is 64,776,800 yuan."
My legs went weak just listening to that!
Good heavens, more than 64 million! He never even dared to dream of such a thing!
Wei Haihong looked at Zhou Xuan and asked, "Brother, how is it? Are you satisfied with the house?"
Zhou Xuan nodded. He sighed, "Brother Hong, if I'm not satisfied with this house, I'll be struck by lightning. The house is absolutely perfect!"
Wei Haihong chuckled and said, "That's good, that's good. Old Chen, it's settled then. Let's go to the sales office to complete the formalities, and I'll transfer the money to you!"
Chairman Chen narrowed his eyes, now even more convinced that Wei Haihong valued Zhou Xuan very highly. He knew Wei Haihong well; he was always the one being flattered and fawned over. He'd never seen him go to such lengths and expense for someone else. This Zhou Xuan was someone he needed to pay attention to. Such a person was no ordinary individual. If he could cultivate a good relationship with him, it would be equivalent to cultivating a good relationship with Wei Haihong. Just think about it—this house was worth over 60 million, and he was giving it away for over 60 million. That person must be either a blood relative or someone who held a vital connection to Wei Haihong.
Look at Zhou Xuan. He's so young, and there's nothing particularly special about him at first glance. But Chairman Chen is no ordinary person either; his wealth of hundreds of millions is something most people can't handle. Although Zhou Xuan may seem ordinary, he's anything but ordinary at heart—that's Chairman Chen's conclusion.
Zhou Xuan remained silent because Wei Haihong and Chairman Chen were talking and he didn't have time to interrupt.
Reaching the stairs, Zhou Xuan turned around and saw ** still standing in the room. He walked in, pulled him up, and asked with a laugh, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Are you stupid?"
Stunned, she replied, "I think I'm a little stupid. This house... Brother Hong bought it as a gift for you? Did I hear that right? It's over 60 million, not 600,000, right?"
Zhou Xuan chuckled and said, "Boss, you heard me right, but I'll buy it myself!"
"Oh!" She followed Zhou Xuan downstairs, looking rather dazed. Once outside the villa and on the shuttle bus, she felt like she'd forgotten to ask something, but she couldn't quite remember what it was.
They parked their car in the plaza outside the sales office, got out, and went inside. Watching Zhou Xuan follow Wei Haihong in, **suddenly remembered the question they'd just asked but had forgotten: Wangwang's younger brother told him he had to buy the house himself! Was he stupid, or was it just them? Did his brother have that much money? Over 60 million! Besides, even if an average person had 60 million, they wouldn't dare buy it. They couldn't even afford to maintain the property; the monthly management fee alone would be 10,000 to 20,000. Could anyone live in such a place?
Once inside the lobby, as Wei Haihong took out his checkbook to sign the bill, Chairman Chen patted him on the shoulder and chuckled, "Third brother, are your brothers no longer my friends? Hehe. I've been in business for so many years, I've made money, but I only make what I should, and I don't make what I shouldn't. For this house, I'll give you a discount, just the cost price, twenty-five million will do!"
Wei Haihong tilted his head and looked at Chairman Chen's face.
Chairman Chen laughed and said, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize my old face?"
Wei Haihong thought for a moment and said, "Alright. Old Chen, I'll remember your kindness!" As he spoke, he prepared to sign the check, but Zhou Xuan reached out and stopped his hand.
Wei Haihong was taken aback and looked at Zhou Xuan.
"Brother Hong, I'll pay for this myself. I know you're doing this for my own good. But this house is a major life event. I'll feel more at ease living here if I buy it myself. If you insist on paying, then I don't want the house!" Zhou Xuan said with a faint smile, but his expression was very firm.
Although Wei Haihong and Zhou Xuan had not known each other for very long, Wei Haihong had a good understanding of Zhou Xuan's character. He was simple and persistent, and once he made up his mind, he would never change it. If Wei Haihong insisted on paying, he might just drive Zhou Xuan away.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Haihong readily agreed, "Okay. Brother, as long as you're happy, you can buy it yourself. It's my fault for not thinking things through. You can only feel at ease living in a house you own!" Chairman Chen saw that Wei Haihong changed his mind quickly, but he could tell it wasn't pretense; he genuinely cared about Zhou Xuan. Initially, he suspected Zhou Xuan might be Wei Haihong's illegitimate son, but now he denied it. Firstly, if it were that kind of relationship, Wei Haihong wouldn't speak to Zhou Xuan like that. Secondly, he certainly wouldn't openly bring his own niece out. The hidden details could be investigated later. However, Zhou Xuan was definitely a key target for cultivating a good relationship. For businessmen like them, despite their seemingly glamorous lives, the relationship between officials and businessmen has always been one of prioritizing officialdom over commerce. Throughout history, which dynasty's businessmen didn't cultivate relationships with incumbent officials? The result was inevitably a tragic end.
Chen Yuzhong, who has been in the business world for forty years, has a keen eye for this. In recent years, many of the young tycoons who have been associated with the rich list have fallen one after another. Take, for example, that rich man who is still in prison. Isn't that because he offended high-ranking figures? What good is having a lot of money if you don't have the fortune to spend it? It's useless if you end up with a tragic end.
Of course, Chen Yuzhong is a seasoned veteran. It's precisely because he sees things so clearly that he pays more attention to cultivating relationships with people like Wei Haihong—more connections mean more opportunities.
Zhou Xuan took out his bank card from his wallet and asked, "Chairman Chen, is it okay to pay by card?"
At this moment, Yang Wei stepped forward and continued the conversation: "Of course, I'll process it for you right away. Please give me your ID card, okay?"
Zhou Xuan quickly pulled out his ID card and gave it to her. Yang Wei took the ID card and bank card, then smiled gently and said, "Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment!"
Chairman Chen greeted Wei Haihong and Zhou Xuan with a smile and invited them to sit down and wait. At this moment, Xiao Ying wisely brought out a few cans of frozen drinks from the inner room.
Yang Wei spent nearly ten minutes, then took the bank bar receipt and some documents for Zhou Xuan to sign. After signing, she handed the bank card, ID card, and a key to Zhou Xuan.
"Mr. Zhou, I've processed all the relevant documents. The property ownership certificate needs to be processed at the Land and Resources Bureau. We'll get that done for you as soon as possible. You can move into the house in less than a month. Congratulations on becoming a homeowner in Hongcheng Garden!"
Zhou Xuan carefully put away the cards and documents. "You're welcome!" He glanced at the amount on the transfer slip. That day, four yuan. Old Chen's words had saved him forty million yuan. It seemed he was still indebted to Brother Hong; this was obvious. Chairman Chen wouldn't have withheld money because of him.
Twelve thousand coins delivered today. Brothers, if you have any monthly tickets, don't forget to give them to Luo Xiao! Hehe, thanks brothers!

Volume One: The Lotus Buds Just Begin to Emerge, Chapter Seventy: Unexpected
After the Hongcheng Garden project is completed, the No. 8 Garden Villa will become Zhou Fuqing's estate!
Although Chairman Chen offered a discount, it was still a huge sum of 25 million. Zhou Xuan stared blankly at him, his mind a complete blank, with no ideas whatsoever.
Chairman Chen wanted to invite them to a place for dinner and entertainment, but Wei Haihong declined. Firstly, he was worried about the old man's condition, and secondly, with Wei Xiaoqing by his side, it was better to be mindful of the impact of having his niece with him.
