Xie Wang casually replied, "Mm."
Suddenly realizing what he was saying, he tapped Assistant Kim on the head with the file: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Assistant Jin said meaningfully, "Are you kidding? Does the developer have any requirements? Or do they prefer to select properties under our group?"
Xie Wang thought for a moment and said, "Prepare some of everything, according to his preferences."
Assistant Kim: "Understood."

This was Ling Shuangjiang's first time reporting to her agency. Although her agency wasn't the top player in the entertainment industry, it still held a certain position, had many popular stars under its wing, and offered decent resources.
Sitting in the boss's office, Ling Shuangjiang chatted with him and also discussed future development plans.
The boss was a shrewd middle-aged man in his forties. He treated Ling Shuangjiang very politely and attached great importance to his plans.
In fact, ever since Ling Shuangjiang became a sensation, the boss had been worried that Ling Shuangjiang would be poached by other companies. At first, he was somewhat wary, but he gave up the idea after Xie Wang asked him for Ling Shuangjiang's contact information.
If Ling Shuangjiang wanted to leave, he couldn't stop her at all.
Surprisingly, Ling Shuangjiang was very satisfied with her new company. She didn't complain that the company's resources were not as good as those of top entertainment companies. On the contrary, she was very cooperative. When chatting, she didn't have the arrogant and smug feeling that newcomers have when they first become popular. She made people feel very comfortable and like a gentle breeze.
"Don't worry, I will complete the company's announcements diligently from now on, and I will communicate with the company in a timely manner if anything happens."
After Ling Shuangjiang left, the boss looked at Li Man and asked, "What exactly is his relationship with Xie Wang?"
Although Li Man had her suspicions, she wasn't certain. She only said that the two were very good friends, without knowing the specifics.
Ling Shuangjiang's studio was just renovated. The environment is quite nice, but it doesn't need to be too luxurious, since he rarely comes here.
"Is it the Frost's Descent?" Outside the door, Chen Ce'an, an artist from the same company, greeted him warmly.
Ling Shuangjiang stood up: "Yes, and who are you?"
Chen Ce'an: "I'm your senior. I heard you were coming to the company today, so I came to see you."
Ling Shuangjiang poured him a cup of coffee: "I don't know everyone very well, but we'll probably get to know each other better in the future."
Chen Ce'an held his coffee and looked him over carefully: "Let's add each other on WeChat. We can hang out together sometime."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded and took out her phone to show Chen Ce'an her business WeChat account.
Throughout the entire process, Chen Ce'an kept staring at him, his gaze moving from his eyes, nose, mouth... all the way down to his neck.
"I'm leaving now, we'll talk later."
As soon as Chen Ce'an left, Li Man came over to remind him: "Although he is very popular now, he has a terrible character. He has bullied all the good-looking newcomers in the company."
"Bullying?" Ling Shuangjiang looked at Li Man. "What exactly do you mean?"
Li Man sighed: "They use the pretense of providing resources to deceive naive newcomers into sleeping with them."
Seeing Ling Shuangjiang's slight surprise, Li Man worried that he might be frightened: "Don't worry, with your CEO Xie here, no one will dare to bully you."
There was an element of probing in Li Man's words.
Ling Shuang replied, "We are good friends."
Li Man smiled and said, "That's right. Good friends should help each other. If you're wronged, how can President Xie tolerate it?"
This time, Ling Shuangjiang did not deny it, but simply lowered her eyes and pondered.

In the afternoon, Xie Wang came to pick up Ling Shuangjiang to view the apartment. After Ling Shuangjiang got into the car, Xie Wang looked at him carefully and asked, "Are you tired?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "I'm not tired, I just chatted with the boss."
Xie Wang: "Did you have a good chat? Did he make things difficult for you?"
Ling Shuangjiang felt that Xie Wang's tone was very much like that of a parent picking up an elementary school student from school, showing concern and inquiring about school life.
"No, everyone is very kind to me."
Xie Wang nodded with relief and handed him a stack of real estate information: "Take a look and see which one you like first, and we'll go see them one by one."
The first property development was in the style that Ling Shuangjiang liked.
The environment and greenery here are quite nice. It's fully furnished and ready to move in, saving you a lot of trouble.
Xie Wang had seen this property beforehand. It was great in every way, except that it didn't require renovation; you could move in right away.
So he deliberately placed it at the bottom, but Ling Shuangjiang still spotted it at a glance and flipped it to the top.
There is a large artificial lake in the community, where mandarin ducks and swans are kept. The lake is very beautiful in the summer, and many residents bring their children to go boating.
This artificial lake is a freshwater lake that connects directly to the 5A-level scenic area of Bintan City, and the surrounding natural environment is also very well protected.
This is a residential complex developed by Xie's Hengtai a year ago, so the real estate agents naturally recognize Xie Wang. He is the top salesman here, and yesterday Assistant Jin informed him that he needed to receive Xie Wang today, so he specially changed into his most appropriate suit and most expensive tie.
Today is his chance to shine in front of the group's boss, so he must be careful with his words and actions.
"Mr. Ling, what size apartment are you looking for? We have high-quality apartments available in sizes of 100㎡, 200㎡, 500㎡, or even 1000㎡."
Ling Shuangjiang: "I'd like the 200㎡ one."
The salesperson nodded and led the two along the garden and fountain to go inside and take a look.
"The swans here don't look very lively," Xie Wang suddenly said. "If you see them when you go for a walk, it might upset you."
The salesperson glanced at Xie Wang in surprise, and after confirming several times that he was the mastermind behind the property development, he fell into deep thought.
Is it because their work has displeased the boss?
Why would you say something like that when showing a property to a friend?
Isn't this just ruining their own reputation?
Ling Shuangjiang smiled at him: "It's alright, I don't want to see the swans."
We arrived at a room located on the eighth floor.
"I will answer any questions you may have, to the best of my knowledge."
The salesperson calmed down and decided to continue performing.
The interior design is elegant and suitable for modern young people. Plus, it's fully furnished, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Ling Shuangjiang sat down at the workbench and looked at Xie Wang: "I want to buy this one."
Xie Wang frowned slightly: "Fully furnished houses are prone to problems because the quality is questionable, such as leaks and electrical leaks, which will lower the quality of life."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Really?"
The salesperson looked at Xie Wang in disbelief.
When the building was being planned, he clearly remembered his boss saying that it was the boss's instruction to build a fully furnished building, saying that many young people today are too busy with work to spend time on decoration.
Why are you starting to nitpick now?
"Mr. Ling, you can rest assured about the quality of our Hengtai Real Estate products. Also, if you encounter any related problems, just call the property management and we will come to repair them as soon as possible."
Xie Wang glanced at the sales staff, then continued his inspection with one hand in his pocket, his face grim like that of a leader inspecting a work site.
"Frost's Descent, are you sure it's this place?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Yes, this is the place."
Xie Wang said helplessly, "If you want to buy this place, we'll have to carefully select the furniture and such. It will take at least one or two months to get everything ready, and then we'll need to let it air out. It will take at least six months to move in."
"Mr. Ling, here's a perk for you. When you buy one of our properties, you'll receive any one of three furniture and appliance packages (A, B, or C) as a gift. All of them are made with environmentally friendly materials, and formaldehyde testing shows absolutely no issues."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, when is the earliest I can check in?"
The salesperson smiled and said, "One week."
Ling Shuangjiang immediately paid the full amount and signed the purchase contract.
Holding the contract, the salesperson looked proud, but when he caught a glimpse of Xie Wang's cold gaze, he was completely bewildered.
He made contributions to Hengtai, so why isn't the boss happy?
Before leaving, Xie Wang turned back to look at the salesperson who was seeing him off so warmly, and asked, "What's your employee number?"
Salesperson: "54222".
Xie Wang calmly withdrew his gaze, his whole body radiating displeasure.
After they left, the salesperson communicated Xie Wang's attitude to Assistant Jin and explained the whole story to Assistant Jin.
After a long silence, Assistant Kim said, "Why don't you submit your resume to the real estate company that's competing with us?"
Sale:"……"
Xie Wang was in a bad mood the whole way. Ling Shuangjiang leaned back in the car seat, seeing his disgruntled look, and deliberately asked, "I bought a new house, aren't you happy for me?"
Xie Wang's voice was low and his face was stern: "Of course I'm happy, extremely happy."
Encountering a red light, Xie Wang stopped, pursing his lips and remaining silent. He gazed into the distance, his entire being conveying displeasure.
At that moment, a set of keys was handed to Xie Wang.
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and said, "Here you go, shall we switch?"
Xie Wang's eyes immediately lit up with intense surprise, but he quickly restrained himself and said coldly, "Just use it as a spare key."
After saying that, he took it with both hands from the drawer that was locked in the car.
Xie Wang's serious demeanor amused Ling Shuangjiang.
He suggested, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight to thank you for helping me buy a house and solving my problem."
Xie Wang was just agreeing when the phone rang. He turned on Bluetooth, and Xiang Ming's voice came through: "Old Xie, let's have dinner together at the Summer Palace this evening."
Xie Wang: "I'm going to dinner with Shuangjiang, so I won't be joining you tonight."
Chen Siqi, standing next to Xiang Ming, interjected, "Bring Shuangjiang along too. You two are such good friends, you should introduce her to us."
Xie Wang hesitated.
His friends are all wolves and tigers. Little Frost is so timid, what if he gets scared?
"My friends are having a get-together and have invited us. Would you like to join?"
Ling Shuangjiang replied without hesitation, "Okay."
The two quickly changed direction and drove towards the Summer Palace Restaurant. Xie Wang cautioned, "They're all nice people, but sometimes their jokes go too far. If you're unhappy, don't indulge them."
